Rags To Riches Chapter 251-252

 Chapter 251

Mu Sichen saw Qin Ming's movements freeze, forcing his fingers across and pulling the hook, saying, "What's up? You're not allowed to back out of a hook."


                Qin Ming said, "Don't you suspect anything about me and your sister? We are actually an arranged marriage."


                Mu Sichen nodded and said, "I know, my father and my grandfather were superstitious and said to find a match for my sister so that my grandfather could get well. Now he did get better and even confirmed the symptoms, I don't know if it's related, but you're already my brother-in-law."


                Qin Ming sighed and said, "Actually, I said last night that I wanted to divorce your sister, she and I don't know each other, and we don't have much affection, one way or the other. The marriage itself was a mistake, and I was confused for a while. Luckily not many people know about it, and there is still ground to turn back."


                "No." Mu Sichen immediately objected, saying, "Brother-in-law, I've just recognized you as a person. You are not as wasteful and useless as others have said. You have commitment, courage, and the ability to accept other people's shortcomings with grace. Except for your lack of money, I feel that you are even better than my brother. If you don't become my brother-in-law, won't I have someone less to spoil me?"


                "Spoil you?" Qin Ming laughed, "You're a thousand-year-old lady, do you still have less people to spoil you?"


                Mu Sichen puffed up, "Anyway, don't get a divorce, it's right for you to marry my sister, it's only confusing to mention divorce. My sister is actually also a knife's mouth and a bean curd's heart, I will help you in the future to ensure that my sister's heart will soften and fall in love with you."


                Qin Ming narrowed his eyes, this cheap sister-in-law had transformed too quickly, making him somewhat uncomfortable.


                However, come to think of it, Mu Si Chun was a bit cautious, but several times it did not go so far as to harm her personal safety, especially when she was wrongly trusting Li Meng at first and treated Qin Ming like trash, scum.


                When she realizes how good Qin Ming is, that contrast of ill feeling to good feeling will be especially obvious.


                Qin Ming did not want to talk about it and said, "Forget it, I want to go back to school."


                Mu Sichen volunteered, "I'll take brother-in-law back."


                After returning to school, Qin Ming called Qi Minghui and said, "Go and find me that divine practitioner Zhang Lao Dao from last time."


                Qi Minghui responded, "Young master, please don't worry, I will be able to find the man out tonight."


                Qin Ming put his mind at ease and left the matter to Qi Minghui, and by six o'clock in the evening, Qi Minghui did come calling.


                "Young master, the person has been found, he is setting up a stall in Huashi Park to tell people's fortunes."


                Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately moved to Huashi Park.


                However, when Qin Ming arrived, he found that he had come across Mu Xiaoqiao here at the stall of the godly man, Old Man Zhang.


                "Why is she there too?"


                Qin Ming was very surprised, this was too much of a coincidence, was it a coincidence or a special search?


                Qin Ming walked over and heard old man Zhang floundering, "Your Mu family's saviour, I've found it and sent it to your house. Miss Mu, there's really nothing more I can say."


                Mu Xiaoqiao said, "But my grandfather's strange disease was diagnosed, and now he needs a special medicine, and that special medicine is only available in a pharmaceutical research centre abroad in the whole world. We have no other way to save my grandfather, let alone a way to contact that research centre. Qin Ming is a poor student, what can he do?"


                Old man Zhang stroked his beard and shook his head, "Miss Mu, you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do, mysterious and wonderful things are always achieved without notice, everything comes to fruition, this is the will of God."


                Qin Ming couldn't listen to this anymore and interjected, "Mu Xiaoqiao, you've become superstitious too, huh?"


                Mu Xiaoqiao looked back at Qin Ming, ignoring his cynicism, and said, "How did you find this?"


                Qin Ming said, "You can find it, but I can't? How hard can it be to find this lousy old man? Your Mu family is a big fish, and he won't leave Guang City until he has raked in enough money."


                Old man Zhang shook his head with a smile and said, "I, Zhang Zhenxian, have been telling fortunes all my life, all based on my Daoist practice and my benevolent heart for the world, definitely not greedy for vanity and money."


                To hell with Qin Ming believing him, he too sat down.


                Mu Xiaoqiao's big buttocks moved a little bit on the bench, Qin Ming looked at him with anger in his heart, disliking him, didn't he?


                Qin Ming said, "Old man Zhang, let's not talk about the dark side, tell me how to get the Mu family to agree to our divorce. They are superstitious and love to believe in your words. Just tell them that although my eight characters are more suitable for her, I can't stop their Mu family's great calamity, so it's better to find someone else."


                Hearing this, Mu Xiaoqiao was discontented, "Qin Ming, what are you messing up? Can you be more mature?"


                When Qin Ming heard this, he became even more furious and said in annoyance, "Do I call this messing up? Your grandfather's illness has been diagnosed, all that's left is to get the medicine and treat the symptoms. You don't like me, so why force it? If you agree to the divorce, I'll have someone send your grandfather the medicine from the Sprang Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology Research Centre in M. tomorrow."


                Mu Xiaoqiao listened in awe, she had come here today to ask the old godly man how she could get the special medicine that would save her grandfather, and before she could ask a result, Qin Ming had said this.


                Zhang Lao Dao shrugged at her and said with both hands, "You see, I told you before, my fortune telling is never a problem."


                Qin Ming said viciously, "Shut up, old man, it's just a coincidence that it happens that I have a connection."


                Mu Xiaoqiao was surprised and took Qin Ming's big, pale hand, asking, "Qin Ming you have connections? You can contact that research centre? Right, how did I forget that you are familiar with the Qi family, the Qi family is not simple, there is a big backer behind it."


                Qin Ming shook off Mu Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Alright, now that you know, let's get a divorce, that's better for everyone."


                As soon as she spoke of divorce, Mu Xiaoqiao's expression became odd again, seemingly hesitating and hesitating.


                She asked, "Why must you use divorce as blackmail? My grandfather treats you well too, and even gave you a villa, he is really treating you as his granddaughter-in-law. Although I am rather cold towards you, I am trying to adapt, you have to give me some time."


                Qin Ming said, "Master Mu has been good to me, so I will naturally repay her. But I don't want to have a wife who sees me and still sits a little far away in disgust."


                Mu Xiaoqiao was stunned, so Qin Ming was angry at her little move of moving her buttocks just now.


                She felt very aggrieved and said, "There are few seats on this bench, so I just gave way to you to sit more comfortably, you misunderstood me like this, how have you ever trusted me?"


                But she knew that it was useless to explain now.


                Mu Xiaoqiao stood up, handed over a thick wad of money, bowed to the divine rod, Old Man Zhang, and said, "Thank you, True Man Zhang, for clearing up the confusion, I will leave first, this is the fee for today's dream interpretation."


                Old man Zhang accepted the money with a smile and said, "No matter, it is my Daoist duty to interpret sorrows for those who have a destiny."


                As soon as Mu Xiaoqiao left, Qin Ming and this bad old man were left at the fortune-telling stall.


                Old man Zhang said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, I think you have soared to great heights, and now you are speaking with more and more poise, and the sharpness in your eyes is getting stronger and stronger. And what are you doing here today? As far as I know, you have signed a contract with the Mu family as a son-in-law, and you have no initiative to divorce."


                Qin Ming said, "That's why I came to you, I won't listen to your foolishness anymore, quickly think of a way for me to get the Mu family to agree to divorce me. The price is not a problem, you can drive."


                Old man Zhang smiled and stroked his beard as he looked at Qin Ming's anxious face and said, "This big picture has already been decided, there is nothing I can do as a mere fortune-telling god. This path is indeed the one I pointed out to you, but it is also the one you took."


                Qin Ming became annoyed and said, "Why must you help the Mu family so much?"


                Old man Zhang's expression changed slightly, and there seemed to be some special secret hidden in his eyes, before smiling azurely, "You want to know? Then I have a condition."


Chapter 252

Qin Ming said with dissatisfaction, "You bad old man, just say what you want to say and talk about conditions? That depends on what kind of conditions you put forward."


                Old man Zhang laughed, "Mu Hai Ran used to be a monk too, a Taoist priest who practiced with me on Mount Longhu. Their Mu family used to be a wealthy family with many children, always fighting for the family fortune, while Mu Hai Ran was not favoured in his family and took refuge in the Daoist temple of Mount Longhu to save his life. But although he practised at Mount Tiger and Dragon, his dusty karma was not broken and he did not learn the rituals and skills of the Daoist sect, studying books on economics, foreign languages and finance day in and day out, so my master thought that his practice was not up to scratch and threw him out."


                Old man Zhang recalled the past with great emotion and eventually shook his head and smiled, "Later he made his fortune in the north, married the youngest daughter of a big family and had a backer, then returned to the Mu family and with my help succeeded in taking over the entire Mu family fortune. During this process, I have also been advising him."


                Qin Ming's mind dawned on him, forgiving the two of them for being fellow disciples, and he asked rhetorically, "Are you implying that your fortune-telling and divination are all schemes now?"


                Old man Zhang shook his head and waved his hand, "Mysterious and subtle, subtle and subtle, fortune-telling is not always accurate, but by the sincerity of the heart, it is spiritual."


                Qin Wei gave him a look and said, "I don't believe you, you old man, you've screwed me over. I can't leave the Mu family now."


                Old man Zhang said with slight anger, "You young man, can't you show a little respect for the elderly? I, Zhang Quanzhen, have never cheated anyone who came to me to solve their problems."


                Qin Ming bristled and said, "Fine. I was the one who agreed to this kind of thing, after all. But I was affected by my girlfriend leaving at the time and was too sad. I think about it afterwards, superstition is something I still resist."


                Zhang Quanzhen said, "Did I lie to you when I said that you could soar to greatness after meeting a valuable person? When you met Mu Hao, your life was immediately different. You have a very good face, the face of an emperor that is rarely found in the world. eh ...... Why has something changed?"


                Qin Ming was stunned as he touched his face and said, "I've been staying up late studying lately, I guess, and I've grown pimples."


                Zhang Quanzhen slapped the case table and said, "No! You lied to me, the robbery phase has transformed, and you are also overly rounded and flooded with peach water, your current face is an imperial peach blossom robbery."


                Qin Ming rubbed his face in disbelief, muttering in his heart, "Is he continuing to fool me, or is this true? This old man can really fool me."


                Zhang Quanzhen asked, "Before you met Mu Hao, had you met any other noble people recently?"


                Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, "No."


                Suddenly, Qin Ming's expression froze, did his righteous father, Chang Hongxi, count? But Chang Hongxi was the most recent nobleman he had met two years ago during the summer holidays?


                The last time he had his fortune told by Zhang Quanzhen, Qin Ming was in a depressed mood, so he didn't think about it.


                But he couldn't tell Zhang Quanzhen about Chang Hongxi either, he needed to keep it a secret for now.


                Zhang Quanzhen's pale face, his skin taut, stared intently at Qin Ming's face and said very seriously, "You must be hiding something from me, there is no way I could have miscalculated. No, it must not be, this is not good, the plan is all messed up."


                As he spoke, Zhang Quanzhen began to pack up the sticks, cloths and banners, and was about to close his stall and leave.


                Qin Ming felt puzzled, so he went forward to stop Zhang Quanzhen and asked, "Zhang Quanzhen, why don't you tell me clearly? What is the plan?"


                Zhang Quanzhen sighed and said, "Mr. Qin, I have to go now and leave Guangcheng. I'll send you a message, "Don't forget your original heart when you're floating in the red dust."


                Qin Ming listened and didn't understand what it meant at all?


                Qin Ming asked again, "Where are you going? You haven't settled the matter of the Mu family for me yet."


                Zhang Quanzhen said, "Mr. Qin, if you insist on leaving, how can the Mu family still tie you up? Besides, haven't you already made it to the top now? I'm afraid you don't even care about the Mu family? Do you want to get together and leave? I believe you have your own way, so why come to me?"


                Wasn't Qin Ming afraid that it would be a clean break? If the Mu family were to speak ill of him, would he not be able to explain himself to the Nie family in the future?


                So he was still thinking that Zhang Quanzhen would be able to speak up and solve the problem, Mu Hai Ran and Mu Hao's father and son were superstitious, so Zhang Quanzhen would definitely be able to once he spoke up.


                But when Qin Ming saw that Zhang Quanzhen refused to help, he said, "Then I'll send you someone to protect you and give you a hand."


                Zhang Quanzhen frowned: "Mr. Qin wants to find someone to keep an eye on me? I'm afraid I'm too underestimated."


                Qin Ming laughed heatedly and snapped his fingers through the air.


                Not long after, Bi Yuan and a few members of the assassination team walked out.


                Bi Yuan stepped forward and said, "Young master."


                Qin Ming said, "Find a smart person to protect Daoist Master Zhang well, as Daoist Master Zhang will be travelling around the country, there will inevitably be an inconvenience, so don't lose him."


                Bi Yuan answered and said to a junior disciple beside him, "Yes, Xiao Meng you will be responsible for protecting Daoist Master Zhang from today onwards, and be the Daoist Master's junior follower."


                Zhang Quanzhen's expression was very surprised as he looked at Qin Ming and then at Bi Yuan and the others; this was 24-hour covert protection.


                Obviously, Qin Ming's identity made him curious, but he couldn't guess at all.


                The confident smile on Qin Ming's face that said "I'll get you" also made Zhang Quanzhen unable to resist.


                After a moment of silence, Zhang Quanzhen seemed to be relieved and said, "It seems that you have met your destiny long ago, even earlier than I thought."


                The corners of Qin Ming's mouth lifted and he said, "You are willing to admit it, you must be calculating something, and must be hiding something again."


                Zhang Quanzhen smiled lightly, "Such things as destiny are mysterious and subtle, there are no guidelines, sincerity of heart is spiritual. Remember, don't forget your original heart."


                After seeing Zhang Quanzhen leave, Qin Ming's heart was a little annoyed, he was more and more sure about his being lured into the Mu family.


                But too many coincidences prevented him from dismissing Zhang Quanzhen's so-called fortune-telling out of hand.


                After all, Qin Ming could not produce any more evidence, but Zhang Quanzhen's words of telling him not to forget his original heart spoke to his heart.


                Qin Ming explained, "Don't let Xiao Meng be too rude to the Taoist Master, and we'll pay for the daily expenses if you do."


                Bi Yuan responded, "Yes."


                Although there was still a mystery in his mind, Qin Ming could not figure it out for a while, and he turned to leave the park, not caring much about what Zhang Quanzhen said about the peach blossom robbery.


                There was only one person in his heart, one that no one could replace.


                He was now going to the Mu family to withdraw from the marriage.


                Qin Ming walked out of the park entrance, but saw a BMW driving towards him, but it was Mu Xiao Qiao.


                The car window rolled down and Mu Xiao Qiao said, "Get in."


                Qin Ming thought to himself that it would be a good time to talk, so he sat in the back seat, but Mu Xiao Qiao said, "Take the passenger seat."


                Qin Ming had no choice but to take the passenger seat.


                The passenger side of Mu Xiaoqiao's car was quite eye-catching as he looked at her beauty and long snow-white legs up close.


                After the car drove for a while, Mu Xiaoqiao said, "I don't agree with the divorce, I don't want to be a woman in a second marriage."


                Qin Ming said, "We're not in a relationship, we're not having sex, and not many people know about it, so what's not to like? Don't you have someone you like? Don't deny it, your father said so."


                Mu Xiaoqiao was silent and said, "Him? ...... I do have a crush on him, but it's just a crush. But to say that I like him, that's just my dad misunderstanding."


                Qin Ming said calmly in his heart, "Then isn't that the end of it? You find your match, I'll leave my marriage."


                Mu Xiaoqiao gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Qin Ming you bastard, are there people like you who encourage their wives to cheat on them like this?"


                Qin Ming was also angry and said, "Do you take me for your husband? The first time I slept on the floor, the second time I felt guilty for helping you, so you slept on the floor."


                Mu Xiaoqiao said excitedly, "Okay, let's sleep together tonight."


                Qin Ming wimped out for a second, was this serious?
