409 The Secret About the Past 27 (1/2)
”That's… incredible. It's seriously so amazing. I used to think fortune telling was just a hoax and never believed in it. But now, it seems I was wrong.”
”Sis Mei, it's extremely accurate, isn't it?” Madam Jin chirped.
”It's not just accurate, it's spot on. How were you able to tell? It's really incredible,” asked Madam Lin, staring at An Xiaoning in awe.
An Xiaoning smiled and said, ”I grew up on the mountains with my Master. I think I might just be naturally gifted in this aspect.”
”Sis Xiaoning, could you read mine too?” asked Lin Shishi, who was quickly stopped by Madam Lin.
”You're too young for that.”
An Xiaoning thought otherwise. ”Madam, can I be honest with you about something? My sister-in-law, Jin Qingyue, was extremely doubtful of my predictions when I read her fortune back then. She insisted on marrying Shi Shaochuan while completely ignoring everyone else's advice. In the end, her fate turned out to be exactly the way I predicted, and she absolutely regrets it now. Fortune-telling may only serve as a warning in advance. To be honest, there's nothing much one can do to change what's already predestined.”
”Could I trouble Mrs. Jin to tell my daughter's fortune then?” Madam Lin conceded at last.
Upon hearing her mother's approval, Lin Shishi hurriedly picked up the pen and wrote her birth characters onto the piece of paper.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Instead of revealing the results to Lin Shishi privately, An Xiaoning looked at both Lin Shishi and her mother with a grim expression and said, ”Madam Lin, regarding your daughter's destiny… I'd like to talk to you about it privately, is that okay?”
Panic engulfed the pair of mother and daughter. Madam Lin hurriedly said, ”Yes, of course. Let's go there, there's a small private room. Please follow me, Mrs. Jin.”
”Sis Xiaoning, may I hear it too?” Lin Shishi asked.
”Yes, come with us.”
Mei Yangyang stayed behind to chat with Madam Jin while the three of them proceeded inside the room. After closing the door, An Xiaoning revealed the truth upfront, ”Pardon my bluntness, but Shishi will be met with a calamity in the upcoming week. Fortunately, you allowed me to read her fortune, Madam Lin. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would've been unable to escape the ordeal.”
They were both frightened by her words. ”A calamity? What is that about?” Madam Lin asked worriedly.
”A fatal one. If you have any doubts, you may consult other fortune-tellers as well,” said An Xiaoning.
”I believe you, I believe you. You're so accurate and precise with your readings, of course I'd believe you. Mrs. Jin, is there anyway to overcome the omen?”
”There are two types of calamities in one's destiny, one of which can be escaped while the other can never be overcome no matter what you do. The one Shishi is going to be facing soon is the type that can't be escaped. But, I'm willing to do my best to help her minimize the damage as far as possible,” An Xiaoning explained solemnly.
Lin Shishi was frightened and shocked beyond her senses. She grabbed An Xiaoning's arm and pleaded eagerly, ”Sis Xiaoning, I'm only 19 years old this year. Please save me.”
An Xiaoning gave her a pat on her shoulder and tried to comfort her, ”I'll do my best to help, but you have to cooperate with me. Are you willing to do so?”
”Of course.”
”When the gathering ends later, follow me home and stay over at my place for a week. Don't step out of the house at all within the next week. Madam, you may move in together too. I'll give Shishi an amulet every day.”
Both Madam Lin and her daughter agreed readily.
Still feeling extremely worried, Madam Lin asked, ”What happens after you minimize the ordeal?”
”Madam, to be frank, her life is destined to end at the end of this calamity. I'm defying Heaven's wishes by doing my best to help her overcome the fatal ordeal. But I feel that since fate brought us together, I'm willing to do what I can to help. At the end of the calamity, she might at most just shed some blood.”
”Mrs. Jin, you'll become our benefactor if you're really able to save my daughter. I'm willing to acknowledge you as my Goddaughter,” said Madam Lin, who knew that the business-minded An Xiaoning would never make deals where she would incur a loss.
Madam Lin's offer was exactly An Xiaoning's heart's desire.
She nodded in agreement and said, ”Come to Wei Ni Estate later after you've packed your belongings. I'll be waiting for you guys at home.”
They exchanged mobile numbers before coming out of the room.
