Chapter 182 - 182 182 You are way too accurate
?Chapter 182: Chapter 182: You are way too accurate Chapter 182: Chapter 182: You are way too accurate The students were resting on the other side, thus they were unaware of this matter.
However, the other guests were resting here, including Yu Zihang who had come to speak with Lu Xun, and they all witnessed this event.
They were immensely shocked inside, Luo Ning’s ability in physiognomy and calculations was just too powerful.
Being able to save a life from thousands of miles away, Fengshui Masters truly are extraordinary.
Yu Zihang, thus, felt even more enthusiastic about the jade ornaments that Luo Ning was to use.
He decided he had to ask his friend to help him purchase a few pieces from Luo Ning.
Luo Zeyu looked at Luo Ning with gratitude, “No matter what, Teacher Luo, you saved my brother.”
He whispered, “I know that divination cannot be empty, how much compensation do you want, Teacher Luo? Just name your price, and I’ll transfer it to you.”
He originally didn’t believe in Feng Shui, but after participating in two shows with Luo Ning, he began to believe as well.
Of course, he mainly believed in Luo Ning, and not much in other Fengshui Masters.
Luo Ning smiled, “Indeed, our line of work has this rule.”
“Here’s the thing, I want you to donate five million in my name for charity.”
“Also have your brother donate another five million for charity on his own account; this way, it will also resolve the karma of revealing the secrets of heaven,” she added.
Their line of work tended to reveal heavenly secrets, and divulging too much could lead to divine punishment.
That’s why Feng Shui Masters talk about the “Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies.”
Of course, there is a way to avoid this, which is by doing good deeds and accumulating merits.
Previously, Luo Ning took thirty percent of the money she earned from Feng Shui readings and talisman sales and donated it to charity.
She could see that Luo Zeyu was well-off, and she generally charged ten million for dealing with Feng Shui for someone.
The life of Luo Zexi was certainly worth ten million.
Luo Zeyu, hearing her say this, nodded, “Alright, I’ll do as Teacher Luo says.”
Although ten million was a lot, the brothers did not lack that sum.
Besides, his brother’s life was priceless, and ten million to save a life was well worth it.
So, he sent a message to his brother.
Soon the reply came back, saying he would donate ten million for charity today.
The five million to be donated in Luo Ning’s name would also be confirmed with a receipt sent later.
“Little Ningning, your accuracy is just amazing,” Ni Xinxuan said with a look of admiration toward Luo Ning.
Her family also knew some well-connected Fengshui Masters, but not one of them could perform calculations as accurately as Luo Ning.
Luo Ning smiled, “That’s enough, any more compliments and I’ll start to float.”
“Little Ningning is too modest,” Wei Yao had been particularly trusting of Luo Ning since the drowning incident.
After his previous survival adventure on the deserted island, he originally wanted to ask Luo Ning for a divination, but got delayed due to some matters, and now he was determined to seek her help upon returning.
Luo Zeyu thought for a moment, then said to Luo Ning, “Teacher Luo, can we find a corner and have a word in private?”
Luo Ning stood up, “Sure.”
Then the two went over to a corner of the resting area, where no one else was present.
“Teacher Luo, since you could tell that I have a brother from the same parents, then you probably also know that I have two other siblings from different mothers, right?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, what about them?”
Luo Zeyu didn’t beat around the bush as he asked directly, “I just want to ask you if you can tell whether my brother’s incident was man-made or really an accident?”
Luo Ning chuckled, “Just by looking at your face, I can’t tell that. I would need to look at your brother’s side of things and then make a calculation.”
“Do you suspect that your other two siblings want your own brother dead?”
Luo Zeyu nodded, “Yes, our relationship with them has always been poor, and even hostile.”
“The old man has always favored those siblings, wanting from childhood to cripple me and my brother so we wouldn’t compete for the position of the eldest inheritor.”
“I was never interested in running the company, so I fulfilled the old man’s and the eldest’s wishes by becoming a prodigal son and even entered the entertainment circle.”
“But my third brother was very talented in business and exceptionally intelligent from a young age, naturally unwilling to just be an idle playboy.”
“During his time studying abroad, he started a company with friends, and it developed quite well.”
“In the past two years, he shifted his focus back home, even managing a small company to a considerable scale, although it couldn’t compare to our family’s enterprise, he completely outperformed the eldest in capability.”
“The old man then had the idea of wanting my third brother to return to the company to assist the eldest in the future.”
“My third brother refused and even had a quarrel with the old man and the eldest, eventually moving out of the old house.”
“So I suspect that it could have been the eldest or the second son who acted.”
Before the old man married his mother, he had a wife whom he was said to have loved dearly, but she died due to illness.
Later, he took interest in the connections his mother-in-law had, thus marrying his mother.
The old man particularly favored the children of his former wife, claiming they were motherless and needed extra care.
But from childhood, his mother never mistreated the eldest or the second son, whatever his brothers had, those siblings definitely had too.
On the contrary, what those siblings had, his brothers might not necessarily possess.
He didn’t know about other stepmothers, but he was sure his mother was a good one.
Yet those siblings never appreciated it, always fearing he and his brothers would take too much advantage of the Luo family.
The second son got married, not only holding shares of the Luo family but also siphoning quite a lot of money and immovable property each year from the old man to subsidize her husband’s family.
The eldest had always controlled the Luo corporation, fearful that their brothers were coveting it.
It was funny; they were the old man’s sons too, and rightfully had a share in the property.
Moreover, the growth of the Luo corporation to its current state was inseparable from the help of his maternal grandfather and uncles.
If he loved his former wife so much and felt guilty toward the eldest brothers, why did he marry their mother at all? He really despised the old man.
They were disheartened by the old man’s favoritism and became indifferent to fighting for the company, but this only seemed to increase the others’ greed.
They probably wished his family of three would just leave with nothing or die.
The two were both envious and fearful of their third brother’s rise, which made him suspect their involvement.
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “When we return to the Imperial Capital, I’ll take a look at your third brother.”
She added, “Divination could reveal some things, but it’s best if the person is present for greater accuracy.”
Luo Zeyu trusted Luo Ning completely, “Alright, I’ll follow Teacher Luo’s advice.”
After all, he would remember this favor.
He also hoped to have Luo Ning check on his brother later, not just for the family issues but also to look at his brother’s fortunes and marriage prospects.
Around three in the afternoon, the organizers sent people to escort the guests and participants into the auction hall to take their seats.
Each person was also given a participant’s card, so if they were interested in the raw materials or jade being auctioned, they could raise their card to bid.
Luo Ning and her group were arranged to sit in the front.
It was uncertain whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, but the Feng family, a father and two sons, were sitting right next to them.
