Chapter 178: ‘Story Club’

Fu Kun was a little anxious when he heard that. “What? Si Mi went to look for you?”

Fu Xing nodded. “She left after snatching the safety talisman! Who knows why she was so angry at me! Did you and my mom do something shameful in secret again?”

Fu Xing still had some understanding of his parents. They were indeed always doing something stupid and shameful!

“You said that Si Mi has already snatched the talisman paper?” Fu Kun grabbed Fu Xing’s hand anxiously. “Why didn’t you stop her? It wasn’t easy for us to get it. Master Ming An isn’t that easy to invite!”

“Who is Ming An?” Fu Xing pushed Fu Kun’s hand away and his eyes slowly narrowed. “So! That wasn’t a safety talisman at all, right? That was something that harmed Fu Zhen or Si Mi!”

Fu Kun saw that he had already guessed it, so he directly told Fu Xing about their trip to Mingjiang Temple. “That’s a very precious thing! Look, isn’t it very effective? Fu Zhen has also been sick for several days. When I saw him that day, he was also sick! Sigh! You child, how could you let Si Mi take it away so easily?”

Fu Xing didn’t know how to face his father with an expression. He didn’t believe that there was such a mysterious and strange thing in this world. This was simply feudal superstition! These two people were simply crazy about snatching the Fu family’s property!

“Si Mi came to look for you, which means that Fu Zhen also knows about this matter! And how did they know?” Fu Kun was a little puzzled. “They shouldn’t have been discovered so quickly!”

“You’d better think about how my Second Uncle will ‘repay’ us first!” Fu Xing was directly tired. He sat on the sofa and said to Fu Kun, “If you provoke and plot against him, he won’t let you go… Oh, no! It’s us!”

Thinking that it was indeed so, Fu Kun couldn’t help but start to panic. He slowly paced around, thinking about what to do!

When Yan Min was still at the mahjong table, she had been very successful. She had won a few rich ladies and said that she was lucky today!

“Hey! Do you know who is the biggest ship owner in Nanming Harbor?”

Yan Min also liked to listen to industry gossip or news at the mahjong table. “Who is it, Mrs. Li?”

Because Mrs. Li’s family was also in the water business, they also talked about those things. “It’s the Fifth Master Pei of the Pei family! Aiyo, let me tell you! This person is incredible. His business is booming, so his net worth should be at least this much!” As she spoke, she gestured with one hand!

“That much?”

“Yes! But that’s not what I wanted to tell you. What I wanted to say is something else!”

Yan Min looked at her with a reproachful look, then quickly threw out a tile that she did not want. “Don’t keep me in suspense! Hurry up and say it!”

Mrs. Li laughed, “Alright, alright! I’ll tell you guys! Let’s say it first, don’t spread it to others!”

The four people on the table slowly slowed down their movements and moved closer, as if they wanted to hear some unspeakable secret!

“This Fifth Master Pei! After a lifetime of bloodshed, he had also married several wives. However, most of them did not last long and did not have any children. He was about to die alone, with no one to send him off! But…” She paused for a moment. She played a tile. “Two cards!”

It immediately attracted the displeasure of the people listening to the story. “Aiya!”

“Hurry up and say it! It’s very uncomfortable!”

“But what?”

Mrs. Li played her tile and continued, “Not long ago, he suddenly picked up a daughter in Ming River!”

Yan Min and the other ladies were the same, listening attentively!

“How can that be?”

“I’ve heard of it! That heartwarming posture of his was as if he was afraid that she would melt in his mouth and shatter in his palm! She was such a precious treasure! If it wasn’t for the fact that this daughter was still pregnant, everyone would have thought that this Fifth Master Pei had found a mistress for himself, and only to the public is he talking about a daughter!”

“Is it really a daughter? A biological daughter?”

Mrs. Li nodded. “It should be! Then who can be sure! Anyway, she’s very doted on. I heard from my husband that he even brought her to Mingjiang Temple to pray for blessings a few days ago!”

Yan Min’s mind seemed to have been jolted by a huge bell, and she was a little dumbfounded! She had a bold guess! Didn’t Si Ling jump into the Ming River back then! The police and Fu Zhen didn’t catch her, and they didn’t find her body either! This girl’s situation was so similar to Si Ling’s. Could it be the same person!?
