Sometimes, you have to admit that some people are just that capable.

He handles everything with ease and confidence.

For example, Chen Chuan.

He's quite adept at being a flirt for Sister Caibao.

He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Ladies, come on, line up and draw lots. We can help you find a partner for your children and grandchildren, their fortune, their family, and even a spouse for yourself or a wife for your son. If it's inaccurate, you don't have to pay. If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay either."

Some people don't believe it: "Can it really predict marriage?"

"Come here, ma'am, you look kind. Here's the first fortune slip of the day, free for you, my darling."

Chen Chuan gave Cai Bao a look.

Caibao took her fortune-telling stick container out of her pocket: "Grandma, just think about what you want to ask, and then draw a stick."

Free? I love free things. Who cares if they work or not? I'll just draw one and see. The old lady drew a stick and handed it to Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was different from Fang Shiyou and the others. He didn't need to look up the book; he could recite it off the top of his head: "Good things are often hard-won, fallen flowers become mirrors as water flows eastward. If you ask what we borrowed from the past, we will meet again as mandarin ducks flying wing to wing."

He looked at the woman and asked, "Are you asking about your children's or grandchildren's marriage prospects?"

The woman paused, then nodded. "I wanted to ask when my grandson will get married."

"He must have just broken up with his girlfriend and is currently going through a low point due to heartbreak."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" The old lady excitedly grabbed Chen Chuan's hand: "Master, you are amazing! You were right all along. My grandson just broke up with his girlfriend yesterday. She cheated on him with her best friend."

Everyone:...

No, sister, think it through. Is this something you can talk about in public? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your grandson?

Hey, old ladies aren't afraid at all.

It just so happens that she doesn't like that woman either; she's so flirtatious and spends money recklessly. It's perfect that she cheated on him; bad women should be someone else's wife!

I'm grateful for her cuckolding.

She was supposed to bring her grandson to the wedding banquet today, but because she felt bad about being cuckolded, her grandson didn't come.

She quickly pressed on, "Tell me quickly, when will my grandson find another girlfriend?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Your fortune is a good one. Although the process was tortuous, the result is good. Just relax and wait to drink your granddaughter-in-law's tea."

In short, the old lady's heart was at peace.

She happily pulled out a red envelope and stuffed it into Chen Chuan's hand: "Good, good, good, I appreciate your kind words. They really work."

Chen Chuan accepted it with a smile: "Then thank you very much, Auntie. I wish you all your dreams come true and that you will have two grandsons in three years."

"Oh my, oh my, that's wonderful! Everyone, this is incredible, this is a true master, his predictions are so accurate!"

Great, with her setting an example and even spontaneously becoming a promoter, everyone flocked to her.

"I'll calculate it, let me calculate it."

"I was here first! Me, me, me!"

Chen Chuan easily commanded the audience: "Come on, ladies, don't rush. We have them all. Line up. It's 100 yuan per sign. If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay."

"Ask about your home and safety, your future and marriage; there's nothing we can't predict, only things you don't want to ask. Not only can we predict, we can also resolve disputes."

Excellent, business boomed instantly.

Gong Qiang, the protagonist of today's story, who was squeezed out of the encirclement, was dumbfounded.

What left him speechless was that his wife was also in the queue and had even become a shill.

"Oh my, you don't know, this young monk is incredibly accurate with his predictions. Last time..."

After babbling on and on, Gong Qiang stood next to Shen Xi, who was also being ostracized, and sighed, "What kind of mess is this!"

Shen Xi comforted him, "Teacher, don't worry, I'll tell you about Caibao and Chen Chuan later, I promise..."

"How hateful! I'm so bad at talking. Otherwise, how could Lin Xiangxue have to be a shill to curry favor with Caibao?"

Shen Xi: ...Sorry to bother you.

When Guan Yongyan and her family of three stepped into the banquet hall, they thought they had gone to the wrong venue and asked Gong Jin'an, "Is this the place?"

Gong Jin'an said, not entirely certain, "Is it...?"

His mother clearly sent him this address, so why is everyone gathered in a group, scrambling, laughing, and joking around? It doesn't look like a birthday banquet at all! What happened?

He went to the entrance again to check, and only after confirming that it said "Gong Family Birthday Banquet" did he return: "It really is here, no doubt about it."

Bao Lixia rolled her eyes: "I told you, people from Hecheng have no manners. Look at this, they're holding a banquet, but the host doesn't come to greet the guests, and the venue is a mess, like a stage."

"Lingcheng is still the best. Jin'an, it's not that your aunt is criticizing you, but the best decision you made was to come to Lingcheng with Yan Yan after graduating from university. Look, now you've got a good job, a secure job, and your life is stable."

Guan Guodong nodded: "If it weren't for Yan Yan, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to help you. These days, public institutions are extremely competitive, with only one person in each position.

Gong Jin'an nodded: "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. I know you are good to me, and I will be good to Yan Yan in return. Don't worry."

Guan Guodong and Bao Lixia exchanged a glance, quite satisfied.

Guan Yongyan took her boyfriend's hand and said to her parents in a coquettish tone, "Okay, it's just a small matter. How many times do you have to say it? Jin'an is my boyfriend, and we're getting married soon. It's only right that we help him."

Gong Jin'an was deeply moved. His girlfriend was beautiful, sensible, and treated him well. It was all worth it for him to leave his hometown for her.

Bao Lixia frowned and looked ahead again: "Jin'an, go and see what's going on. Are you still going to hold the birthday banquet? We've come all this way to discuss your marriage, and we don't even have a place to sit."

Logically, the Gong family should have come to greet them much earlier.

What are their identities and statuses? She and Lao Guan are both prominent figures.

"Okay, Auntie, please wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

Gong Jin'an rushed over, and when he saw Shen Xi and Gong Qiang, he exploded.

"Dad! What's going on with you two! Didn't you say you were going to have a birthday banquet today? What are you doing now? Yan Yan's parents are here, and you and Mom didn't even go out to greet them."

After listening to Gong Jin'an's words, Shen Xi finally understood why his teacher's wife's eyes had turned red when Gong Jin'an was mentioned before. He had changed.

After graduating from university last year, he went back to Lingcheng with his girlfriend. He said he had something to do during the Spring Festival and didn't have much holiday, so he didn't go back to Hecheng.

But when his wife was scrolling through her WeChat Moments, she discovered that he had taken his girlfriend and their family of three on a trip to Yunnan Province.

The teacher's wife was heartbroken. When Shen Xi went to pay New Year's visits, he sent Cai Bao to sing and dance for her. It took a long time to cheer her up.

Now that the son has finally returned, he immediately starts criticizing the teacher, especially since today is the teacher's fiftieth birthday celebration.

Shen Xi was furious.

She has such a fiery temper, she can't tolerate even the slightest thing.
