"Boss Chen, you have really disgraced this old man. His reputation has been ruined in your hands."
Yang Bailiu couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Chen Baili with a cold face.
"My daughter is not yours, so of course you can make sarcastic remarks. If it were your own daughter, would you be willing to marry such a good-for-nothing poor boy?"
Chen Baili said and looked at me with contempt on his face.
"Then you'd better think clearly. If you miss this poor boy in front of you, I'm afraid you won't have time to regret it."
Yang Bailiu snorted coldly as he spoke.
"Mr. Chen, you really made a mistake this time. This little friend is indeed no ordinary person. He has great luck. His future achievements will definitely exceed all of your imagination."
The skinny old man suddenly came forward, looked at me with a smile and said.
This made me a little confused for a while. Logically speaking, he and Yuan Wenkai should be in the same group. Why did he suddenly stand up and speak for me?
"However, those who become big things often have to go through a lot of hardships."
The old man suddenly changed the topic, and then looked at me and said meaningfully: "I think there are four iron hurdles in a child's life, which must be the loss of his mother in childhood, the loss of his father in adulthood, the loss of his wife in middle age, and the loss of his son in old age. These four iron hurdles
Once you pass the hurdle, your fortune will truly reach its peak."
When I heard this, my heart suddenly clicked.
It wasn’t because the old man was right about my mother’s death in childhood and my father’s death in adulthood, but at that moment, I seemed to have subconsciously believed the two iron hurdles behind what he said.
Could it be said that I really need to experience so many tragic things in my life?
"Mr. Gu, this secret must not be leaked, especially people in our industry who have always seen through it without revealing it. Once the secret is revealed, you will be punished by God. It will be difficult for you to end well if you don't tell it, and I am afraid it will harm future generations.
.”
Yang Bailiu suddenly stood in front of me, looked at the old man solemnly and said.
When Mr. Gu heard this, his face turned pale on the spot.
Although I felt something was not right at this time, I still didn't really understand it.
"Young Master Yuan, let's go back first. It's really inappropriate to talk about marriage at this time."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Gu suddenly approached Yuan Wenkai and whispered.
"That's fine."
Yuan Wenkai nodded, then glanced at Chen Baili and others and said, "Then you should discuss it carefully. I'm waiting for your good news."
After saying that, Yuan Wenkai and Mr. Gu left in a hurry, and everyone in the Chen family hurriedly followed him out.
By this time it was already dark, the guests who came to express their condolences had already dispersed, and the Chen family went out to see off Yuan Wenkai, so only Yang Bailiu, myself, and Gu Xiaorou were left in the mourning hall.
"What happened just now?"
I saw everyone had gone out, so I quickly asked Yang Bailiu.
"The iron mouth cuts off the life."
Yang Bailiu looked at the outside of the mourning hall with a gloomy look and said: "Mr. Gu just now is obviously a master in the industry. What he said about the fate of your fate was not actually what he saw, but took advantage of your preconceived notions.
, planted an idea in your heart, as long as you believe it, this disaster will definitely happen to you."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that he was actually cursing me just now?"
As soon as I heard this, my expression changed on the spot.
"It can also be said to be a curse."
Yang Bailiu nodded, squinted his eyes and said: "This iron-clad death sentence is undoubtedly a kind of evil magic, but if you want to use it successfully on people, the main thing is to grasp the other person's psychology. First, after he says it, you have to believe it.
, so he first told you about losing your mother in childhood and losing your father in adulthood. Because these two things had already happened, you must have believed it. Then he told about losing your wife in middle age and losing your son in old age.
Two doomsdays, this is a subtle way, as long as you plant this idea in your heart, it will be inevitable."
"This...does that mean that the other two hurdles the old guy mentioned just now will really happen in the future?"
I quickly frowned and asked Yang Bailiu, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yurou.
If this kind of thing really happens, wouldn't it mean that if I were with Chen Yurou, she would be harmed?
"Of course I will. This iron mouth can mean the difference between life and death. It's not just casual talk."
Yang Bailiu shook his head as he spoke, and then said with a slightly solemn expression: "He must have seen the great luck in you and knew that this method could not do anything to you, so he used such vicious means to deal with all the people in your life.
The person closest to you would take action, otherwise, he would probably kill you directly using this method."
"The old guy is really vicious."
I gritted my teeth and cursed with an extremely ugly face.
Wouldn't it mean that if this ironclad decision were cast on me, I would eventually end up alone?
"It is indeed vicious."
Yang Bailiu nodded and said: "But this old guy will definitely not be easy. He just cast iron words on you, which revealed the secret of heaven. If I retaliate in the same way, he will definitely not be punished by heaven.
You have to run away, and you might end up harming your family. This is called harming others but ultimately harming yourself."
"So that's it."
When I heard this, I finally understood why Yang Bailiu said what he said to Mr. Gu just now. It turned out that he used the same method to kill the other party. In this way, the old guy had already leaked
After knowing the secret, I naturally believed it in my heart, so it was inevitable that I would be tricked.
What they fear most as fortune tellers is to be punished by God. If the old guy is really punished by God, he will definitely not feel better than me.
Thinking of this, I feel a little more balanced.
At this time, everyone in the Chen family had sent Yuan Wenkai away and returned. The three Chen family brothers were still discussing the marriage with the Yuan Group.
"The Yuan Group is one of the largest conglomerates in the entire Jiangcheng. It is definitely not comparable to family businesses like our Chen family. If we really marry up with the Yuan Group and establish in-depth cooperation with them, then our Chen family will be as successful as the Chen family.
It’s just around the corner.”
Chen Baili suddenly said with some enthusiasm.
"This matter is indeed not a trivial matter. We should discuss it carefully."
Chen Baichuan also echoed.
"Rou'er, come out with us first."
Chen Baili called Chen Yurou out directly, and everyone in the Chen family also left the mourning hall. It seemed that the whole family was planning to discuss the matter of marriage with the Yuan Group.
As for the matter of keeping a vigil for Mr. Chen Wu, they seemed to have completely forgotten about it, and in the end only two outsiders, Yang Bailiu and me, were left here to keep watch.
What a bunch of unworthy descendants. As soon as the Yuan Group extended an olive branch, the family even forgot about their own ancestors.
"I've told you before that with Mr. Chen gone, the Chen family's son-in-law is probably out of the question. In my opinion, you'd better not wade into this muddy water."
Yang Bailiu said disapprovingly.
"I don't want to go through this muddy water either."
I smiled bitterly and said rather helplessly: "But after all, I owe the old man a favor. I can't just watch something happen to the Chen family, and I don't want anything to happen to Chen Yurou."
"That's true."
Yang Bailiu nodded and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the girl from the Chen family is on your side and has some conscience, but there is no guarantee that she will not change under the persuasion of the Chen family.
What are your thoughts?"
"Then it depends on her own choice."
I said and narrowed my eyes slightly.
In fact, I can also imagine this kind of outcome. The rest of the Chen family doesn't care, it mainly depends on Chen Yurou's attitude.
If she really changes her mind and decides to marry into a wealthy family and become the young mistress of the Yuan Group, then I will turn around and leave without saying anything.
At that time, the life and death of the Chen family will no longer have anything to do with me.
