Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 110 Divination

When the man was 'drunk', Assistant Chen was always by his side, sometimes helping to open midnight snacks, sometimes helping to pour water. But in fact, Assistant Chen could also tell that the boss was not drunk at all, he just seemed to be in a bad mood.

Special Assistant Chen really wanted to ask Lu Shize what had happened, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only keep silent.

After a long while, the man asked, "Gu Sheng, what's going on?"

Are you asking about the project?

It doesn't look like that. I'm not that person's special assistant, so how can I know how busy Gu Sheng is with his new project?

So the big boss just asked something else?

Special Assistant Chen pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "That Saturday when Gu Sheng returned from our company, he asked his men to order a bouquet of flowers, which was delivered to Yuantian Villa before noon..."

After taking a look at Lu Shize's expression, Special Assistant Chen could only continue, "It's for the eldest lady."

This was not the first time that person had given flowers to Shen Jiaojiao.

Does this mean both parties are interested in each other?

Lu Shize asked Special Assistant Chen to go back and rest. He sat there alone. Later, he felt very bored, so he went to the balcony, rocked in the rattan chair, and took several puffs of cigarettes in a row. In the smoke, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

The next day, Shen Jiaojiao got up early, finished her morning reading, went downstairs to have breakfast, and stayed in her room in the morning. Because the sun outside was too strong, she soaked in the hot spring in her room for about half an hour.

During the entire breakfast, Lu Shize basically didn't talk to her, and Shen Jiaojiao didn't deliberately add to the topic. She only thought about what she saw last night, a man smoking alone on the balcony.

It was almost noon when Aunt Xue came in and called Shen Jiaojiao, "Miss, later on, there might not be just you and your husband coming for dinner. It seems that several other partners will be coming as well."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded. Since there were outsiders present, she took the clothes Aunt Xue handed her and took a look at them. "This set is okay..."

When we came last night, these partners probably wanted to accompany us. After all, my uncle is always the focus wherever he goes. He has only been here for two days, so it is impossible for them not to come and meet us.

However, my uncle must have refused the dinner last night, saying that he brought me here just to relax and soak in the hot springs, so in the end the partner thought of asking his children to come and accompany him.

First, they gave enough face to the VIPs, and second, they did not spoil the interest of the first-time visitors. They must have thought that young people could always chat together.

Since we were going back to the city this afternoon, those partners would definitely ask us to have dinner together again, and my uncle didn't refuse.

Shen Jiaojiao changed her clothes and received a call from Lu Shize, who indeed asked her to go down and also said that there would be several other people accompanying her.

Then, Special Assistant Chen sent photos of those people and told him their names in advance.

Shen Jiaojiao took a quick look, put on some light makeup, and simply gathered her hair up. She sent a message to Special Assistant Chen and asked, "Should I go down now?"

Special Assistant Chen was in the inner room of the box. When he received the message from the eldest lady, he quickly leaned over and walked to the window, then replied to the text message:

"Miss, you can arrive later, or you can come down now. The gentleman is chatting with a few others in the inner room, and the meal hasn't started yet. However, a fortune teller came to the left hall today, and he brought three apprentices with him. If you come down, you can chat with them first."

Shen Jiaojiao was unsure and handed the phone to Aunt Xue to see, "Should I go down now?"

After reading Special Assistant Chen's message, Aunt Xue frowned. "Fortune-telling? Miss, your life is very precious. I've heard that it seems that fate can't be predicted forever... But I'm not sure if it can be predicted this time. It shouldn't be to the extent of 'fortune-telling', right?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, but then received a message from another bodyguard, "Miss, there's a Taoist priest downstairs who claims to be able to tell fortunes. Would you like to come? If he's right, we'll listen. If not, we'll just treat it as a bit of fun."

Bodyguards are usually meticulous, but this one had worked in Yuantian Villa for a long time and had a good relationship with Shen Jiaojiao. Later, when his uncle moved to the riverside villa, he followed in the shift order.

In the end, curiosity prevailed. When Shen Jiaojiao arrived at the banquet hall on the 3rd floor, the bodyguard Ah Cheng was already waiting at the door. When he saw the young lady arrived, he hurried over to greet her, "Miss, I asked him. He's the kind who can tell you the answer to a word you write. It's not fortune-telling by the eight characters."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and walked through the main door. Sure enough, she saw a Taoist priest sitting in the side hall on the left, with three young Taoist priests standing behind him. Shen Jiaojiao walked in and smelled the scent of sandalwood. She nodded politely to the other person, who also stood up. "You are Miss Shen Jiaojiao, right?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, and the bodyguard Ah Cheng went to the side hall on the right, ran to Lu Shize, bent down and whispered in his ear, "Sir, the young lady is coming down. She may want to ask that master for help in fortune-telling."

Hearing this, Lu Shize stood up and told several partners that he would be back soon. Everyone knew that it must be his precious daughter who wanted to have a fortune-telling, and she came down at this time.

This divination involved some little secrets. The reason they set up two side rooms and invited this master was not to listen to the little girl's secrets, so they all nodded to show their understanding.

Lu Shize walked over and shook hands with the master.

After the greetings, he gave several instructions in a row, and Shen Jiaojiao didn't feel so embarrassed anymore. When the master handed her a pen and paper, she looked at Lu Shize, and Lu Shize also looked at her, "Be good, don't be afraid. You stay here, I'll go over and come out when it's time for dinner."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, and Lu Shize glanced at Aunt Xue behind her. After all, this kind of divination does not mean that other people need to know.

Aunt Xue didn't react for a moment why the boss suddenly looked at her, but Shen Jiaojiao quickly said, "Uncle, let Aunt Xue stay here. What I want to do for divination is not a big secret to her."

"...Okay, I'll go over there then." Since the little guy is willing to listen to Aunt Xue, it's okay to stay here with her.

The bodyguard left, but Lu Shize was still worried. When he reached the door, he looked back and saw Shen Jiaojiao looking at him. He nodded and helped close the door.

Shen Jiaojiao then looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "I'm sorry for causing you unnecessary trouble today."

They invited this master to come and bring three apprentices with them, so they must have some business matters that require their help, and having him tell fortunes for themselves would simply increase his workload.

The old Taoist stroked his beard, smiled kindly and said to her, "It's okay, just write one word."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, and then carefully wrote a word on the paper, stroke by stroke - "heart".

Put down the pen and hand over the paper respectfully.

The old man looked at it and asked, "Ask about feelings?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded quickly, "Yes."

The old man didn't speak immediately, but thought of Mr. Lu who had just left.

"The word 'heart', in terms of the five elements, is from the element of fire, which means that you are rushing into some things."

Acting too hastily... Shen Jiaojiao thought about how she pursued Lu Shize step by step. It turned out that she was pursuing him too hard and too obviously.

"So, you mean take it slow? If we take it slow, we can get what we want?"

The old man did not respond, but continued, "The word 'heart' has a door shut on it. Adding the word 'door' to it, it becomes 'stifling'.

What you are asking for must be making you very upset and depressed, right?"

He mentioned the matter of closing the door, and the one who just closed the door happened to be Lu Shize.

The old man didn't say it out loud, but his meaning was very clear. What made her feel annoyed was closely related to Lu Shize who had just closed the door. In other words, the old man had guessed that what made her feel annoyed was related to her uncle.

However, this old man was invited by those partners. Shen Jiaojiao's first reaction was that she must not cause big trouble for her uncle because of her own affairs.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir, but I still hope you..."

"Don't worry. Know your destiny, but don't talk about it. I won't say too much."

We are all smart people. Now that we have received his guarantee, Shen Jiaojiao feels relieved.

"Then... specifically, what should I do?"

The old man didn't answer. He picked up the paper, spread it out again, wrote two words on it, and handed it back.

Shen Jiaojiao took it and it said: "It can be done."

Shen Jiaojiao's heart seemed to suddenly rekindle. She looked at the old Taoist priest in disbelief, tears streaming down her face with excitement. Her nose felt sore. She quickly took a few tissues, lowered her head, and wiped away her tears.

She looked up again and the old man smiled at her.

She should have continued to ask, when will it be done?

But the other party deliberately wrote down two words and gave them to me, which meant...it wouldn't be accomplished in a short time.

It is precisely because I cannot succeed in a short time that I feel uncomfortable and anxious, so the old man gave me these two words... When I feel powerless and confused, I can take out this piece of paper, so that I can be more determined and gain a little strength.

The old man asked his apprentice to pour a cup of tea for Shen Jiaojiao. He felt that the girl opposite was very smart and understood everything immediately without asking any further questions.

He stroked his beard and said, "Not bad... Miss, please have some tea."

Later, after lunch, the Taoist priest was sent back to the hotel to rest. Some partners kept chatting with him and didn't leave until after three in the afternoon.

The youngest disciple came over to clear the teacups and saucers, "...Master, is that young lady's problem that's troubling her difficult to resolve?"

He felt that the girl named Shen Jiaojiao was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his 18 years of life. Her skin was as white as cream and her smile was sweet. Just looking at her made people want to get close to her and look at her a few more times. Just looking at her made him feel very happy.

If she likes someone, it shouldn't be difficult.

"Ji Yue, she and you have nothing in common, don't have any wishful thinking."

The young apprentice nodded sullenly, "I know, of course I know. Even if I stand in front of her, she may not even look at me... I'm just asking."

The master stood up and asked his second disciple to get some sandalwood and light it, "...her troubles will not be solved in a short time...there is still a lot of work to do between the two of them."
