1676 A Match Made in Heaven?

Chi Shuyan followed Xia Mingcheng into the Xia residence. As soon as she entered, she saw Mother Xia’s forced smile. This was Chi Shuyan’s first time at the Xia residence, but she was able to figure out who Mother Xia was from her age and how similar Xia Mingcheng looked to her.

Xia Mingcheng took the initiative to introduce her to his mother enthusiastically. “Mom, this is Master Chi!”

Chi Shuyan saw Mother Xia’s expression turn even worse, and there was 120% skepticism in her eyes. On the side, Xia Mingzhen was even more incredulous when he heard his brother’s introduction. Before he saw her, he had wondered if the Master his brother mentioned was some old, sage-looking conman. Who would have thought that this person would look better and younger than that Yuan woman?

If he didn’t know how his brother felt about his ex-girlfriend, he would have suspected that his brother had taken a fancy to this person.

Mother Xia thought the same way as her youngest son; she felt like her son wasn’t introducing a Master, but a lover.

Of course, Mother Xia knew her son’s feelings for Yan Liling better than her youngest son did. It hadn’t been long since something happened to that girl, so logically speaking, her son shouldn’t have taken a fancy to someone else so quickly. Could this person really be some Master? But her age…?

Xia Mingcheng knew his mother very well. As if he knew what she was thinking, he immediately brought up how Master Chi had seen that he would be pressured into getting married. He also said that just as Master Chi divined that for him, Mother Xia had really called to urge him to get married. He had also been given a fright at that time, and was utterly convinced by Master Chi.

Mother Xia was well aware that her son wasn’t someone who shot his mouth off. On the contrary, he was quite down-to-earth in his words and deeds, just like his father. For example, given her son’s looks and family background, many girls chased him, but her son was good and didn’t fool around. Yan Liling had been Mingcheng’s first girlfriend.

Maybe it was because Yuan Yuan wasn’t that old either, yet could also read fortunes, that Mother Xia was gradually convinced by her eldest son. The skepticism in her eyes gradually lessened, but there were still many doubts in her heart.

Mother Xia probed, “Young lady, are you really a fortune teller? You’re not someone my son likes?”

After such a long explanation, Xia Mingcheng was about to sigh with relief, when he almost choked at the latter half of his mother’s words. Fortunately, Master Chi wasn’t angry and even replied to his mother with a smile, “Aunt Xia, I can indeed read fortunes, but I’m really not someone your son likes. By the way, I’m married!”

Afraid that Mother Xia wouldn’t believe her, Chi Shuyan even showed her the ring on her ring finger. Xia Mingzhen and Mother Xia were a bit stupefied.

This young lady looked so young, but she was actually married? The mother and son were in disbelief. Seeing the frank expression of the young lady in front of them, the mother and son really believed her this time.

Mother Xia was a middle-aged woman who liked to gossip. She forgot about reading fortunes and physiognomy as she immediately asked inquisitively, “Young lady, when did you get married? You’re not that old, right? Where did you get married? In the capital?” After pausing to take a breath, Mother Xia continued, “Young lady, you’re so beautiful, so your partner must be good-looking too! Who is your partner? Let me see if I know him!”

Xia Mingcheng was simply speechless at his mother’s gossipy nature.

Xia Mingcheng hurriedly interrupted his mother and diverted her attention. “Mom, I invited the Master over this time to read my marriage fate.”

Only then did Mother Xia immediately put away her gossipy thoughts and stop prying. She invited Chi Shuyan to sit on the couch in the living room and had her youngest son go and make a pot of tea.

In short, Mother Xia had good manners. Even if this young lady was a swindler, Mother Xia wouldn’t kick her out.

Seeing that Mother Xia had stopped prying, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief and sat down with her.

Xia Mingzhen went to make tea, while Xia Mingcheng and Mother Xia kept Chi Shuyan company.

On the way to make tea, Xia Mingzhen looked back curiously. By the time he reached the kitchen, he couldn’t hear what his mother and brother were saying to that girl.

However, he was now really curious as to why his brother would invite such a young girl to read his physiognomy. He then recalled the reason which his brother had specially explained to his mother earlier; could it be that this young lady had really divined that his brother would be urged to get married?

Although Xia Mingzhen had some doubts about this young lady who called herself a Master, he was still very satisfied with her divination for his brother. He didn’t know why, but he looked down on that Yuan woman and didn’t have a good impression of her. When he heard that his mother wanted that woman to marry his brother, he was a little anxious. His brother was so outstanding, and that Yuan woman really wasn’t worthy of him. Although she could read physiognomy and had some skills, he just didn’t have a good impression of her, and even felt that this woman was a little strange.

Moreover, although that Yuan woman was quite accurate when it came to fortune-telling, she always broke up couples. One of his friends had an especially good girlfriend, and the two of them had a very good relations.h.i.+p, but it was because of this woman’s words that his friend’s mother forced the couple to break up.

Moreover, it wasn’t just his friend. According to his friend, the same thing had happened to many other couples, all of whom had been in good relations.h.i.+ps.

Who knew how someone else’s good relations.h.i.+p got in that Yuan woman’s way, but she said that their birth characters didn’t match.

After listening to his friend, Xia Mingzhen vaguely sensed something fishy, but couldn’t be sure.

In short, he really didn’t want that Yuan woman to become his sister-in-law. His brother deserved better.

While Xia Mingzhen was letting his imagination run wild, Mother Xia had already revealed her son and Yuan Yuan’s birth characters to Chi Shuyan. She couldn’t wait to get confirmation. “Master, how are my son and Xiao Yuan’s birth characters? Are they especially compatible? Are they a match made in heaven?”
