Chapter 159: Jinx
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The word jinx was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone became terrified. The Xiao family had always believed in such things. They even looked for a master to calculate their luck every year.
Now, not only had the family head fallen, but a jinx was returning. Wasn’t this taking the lives of the Xiao family?
The second branch of the Xiao family walked out and said, “Then may I ask if you have a solution?
The masked man stood rooted to the ground and did not speak. The second branch could only place their hopes on Chen Yue and beg, “Miss Chen, please plead with the master.”
Before Xiao Shan fainted, he had not been able to tell anyone about Xiao Jing.
They did not know that the Xiao family had already given up on the marriage
alliance with the Chen family and that Chen Yue was no longer Xiao Jing’s fiancée.
They thought that Chen Yue would be the future mistress of the Xiao family, so they placed all their hopes on her.
Chen Yue said with a troubled expression, “Master said that when the jinx appears in the Xiao family, Uncle will open his eyes, but the entire Xiao family will face a calamity unless you can ruthlessly eliminate this jinx.”
After she finished speaking, the third branch of the Xiao family retorted, “Does he think there are jinxes just because he says so? Could it be that our Xiao family is at the mercy of others?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man flicked his sleeves and left. It was the people from the second branch who persuaded him, “Master, you don’t have to listen to their nonsense. We naturally believe you.”
Chen Yue also tried to persuade the master to stay. Chen Yue said that she wanted to send the master to his room to rest. After walking far away, she revealed a mocking expression. She had to take revenge for the humiliation she had suffered.
Because they were worried about Xiao Jing taking care of Yunbao alone, the Gu family sent Seventh Uncle, Gu Sen, to follow him. He didn’t have much work to do recently and was on leave. He was meticulate, and the family was more at ease with him going along..
This was the first time Xiao Jing had brought Yunbao out alone. The father and daughter were very curious. Yunbao pestered Xiao Jing and played with him along the way. In the end, she said when she was tired, “So that’s what a Daddy is like.”
These words stunned Xiao Jing. All of Yunbao’s memories of Daddy came from Wang Wang. Not only did he hit and scold Yunbao, but he also ordered her around like a slave. He badmouthed Gu Teng in front of her, so Yunbao hated her father.
It was not until she found out that he was not her father that Yunbao had more expectations for her father. She wanted to know how her father would treat her. Would he love her like her mother?
Xiao Jing’s appearance satisfied her fantasy. She finally had a father and loved her like her eldest uncle was towards his children.
It was not that Yunbao wanted to compare her father to her eldest uncle, but her eldest uncle was the most outstanding father she had ever seen.
Xiao Jing quickly hugged Yunbao and said, “Daddy will always treat you well.”
Gu Sen did not say much and only stayed by the father and daughter’s side. He was from the entertainment industry and could naturally see Xiao Jing’s thoughts. He understood that he loved Yunbao from the bottom of his heart. There was no need for him to stand in the middle and not let the father and daughter interact.
Although he recalled the pain his sister had suffered previously, Gu Sen was still dissatisfied with Xiao Jing.
When the car arrived near the Xiao family, the disappeared Purple Eye appeared again. She said to Yunbao, “I feel an ominous aura. You must be careful not to act alone.”
This was the Xiao family’s territory. Purple Eye was not the ancestor of the Xiao family, so she could not use her current strength in their family. She could only place her hopes on Yunbao.
Yunbao nodded when she heard her words. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect Dad well.”
Purple Eye caressed Yunbao’s head. She was still a child, but she had to protect others.
Xiao Jing carried Yunbao into the Xiao family’s mansion. The servants quickly rushed up and said what had happened. Only then did Xiao Jing know that his father had suddenly fallen unconscious.
He quickly went upstairs to his father’s bedroom. Unexpectedly, the people from the second and third branches were all surrounding his father’s bed. Just as Yunbao entered, Xiao Shan suddenly opened his eyes.
Xiao Jing did not know about Chen Yue and the master. He thought that his father had gotten better and quickly walked up. In the end, he realized that Xiao Shan only opened his eyes and did not react. He was lying in a vegetative state.
The people from the second branch stared at Yunbao in Xiao Jing’s arms. The master said that when a jinx came, Xiao Shan would open his eyes. It seemed that this was the jinx of the Xiao family.
The second branch asked Xiao Jing, “Who is this?”
Xiao Jing looked at Yunbao and smiled. “This is my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.”
Everyone in the Xiao family knew that Xiao Jing had quarreled with his family because of a woman a few years ago. Presumably, this was that woman’s child. They did not care about an illegitimate daughter at all.
The people from the second branch pointed at Yunbao and said, “This is the jinx that Master mentioned. Only by killing her can we save the Xiao family!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Gu Sen quickly stood in front to protect Yunbao..
