The Bowl of Seven Emotions

Xue Jun was hospitalized after being hit by a crystal chandelier. Immediately afterward, Tang Qiming was hospitalized after being hit by a ceiling. The news spread, causing countless people to laugh their heads off.

The news reached Xue Yang while he was playing cards with a group of people at a club.

Xue Yang was sitting in the corner smoking. With Xue Jun's accident, the burden of the company had fallen on him, forcing him to mature considerably in a short period. His aura was imposing, and as he sat there, no one dared to approach.

Suddenly hearing someone mention Tang Qiming, Xue Yang stubbed out his cigarette and walked towards the card table. "What are you talking about?"

"About the Tang family, of course. Hey Xue Yang, have you heard? Tang Qiming is in the hospital. He was apparently hit by the ceiling. Damn, that joke is enough to make me laugh for a year."

The speaker casually threw down his cards and turned to Xue Yang with a grin.

Xue Yang didn't laugh along as he expected, but froze in place.

Hit by the ceiling?

"Are… are you serious?" At that moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. It was like seeing a ghost!

"Of course it's true. That Tang Qi from Tang Qiming's family is even going around saying it was his eldest daughter who did it, insisting that the police arrest her. There have been several scenes already. If it weren't for her, the news wouldn't have spread so fast."

"I heard that too. They say that their eldest daughter is a bit strange."

"Come on, who the hell is stranger than you? Holding two kings and still getting blocked."

"Bullshit, that's my strategy…"

The voices of his friends seemed to drift further and further away from Xue Yang. He leaned against the chair, and within moments, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

The group was chattering noisily, not noticing Xue Yang's unusual behavior.

He recovered after a while and excused himself, leaving under the pretense of feeling unwell.

As soon as he stepped out of the club, he immediately had his men investigate Tang Qiming's condition. Within ten minutes, the call came back.

Just as he had heard, Tang Qiming was indeed in the hospital. But his injuries weren't that serious, just a cut on his head and a slight concussion.

Much better than Xue Jun's brush with death.

Could it be just a coincidence?

Sitting in the speeding car, Xue Yang stared blankly at his phone for a while, then chuckled. He was truly paranoid. What could this be other than a coincidence?

He had also sent people to investigate the incident at Blue Jazz Club before, and there was no trace of human intervention. It was purely his father's bad luck.

Therefore, what happened to Tang Qiming must also be an accident! After repeatedly reassuring himself, Xue Yang couldn't help but think: It's better to stay away from Tang Susu in the future.

Regardless of how strange the events at the Tang family home were that day, the rest of the Tang family remained silent. Only Tang Qi was still clamoring about making Tang Susu pay.

She didn't even notice that the Tang sisters who used to revolve around her were now increasingly less likely to invite her out.

Tang Susu dropped a bombshell at the Tang family gathering and then left as if nothing had happened.

Since her father enjoyed bonding with Xue Jun so much, she would let them have their fill of it in the hospital!

She initially thought that Tang Qi would hound her relentlessly after this incident. After waiting for a few days, there was no movement from her. Later, after receiving a call from Mi Zheng, she learned that it wasn't that Tang Qi didn't want to act, but that her mother had slapped her twice and confined her to the house.

Tang Susu wasn't surprised by this news. For that woman, An Qi, to have stayed by her father's side for so many years and eventually become his wife, she must be quite shrewd. She wouldn't give anyone a chance to criticize her at this juncture.

Even with their silver tongues, they couldn't pin this "accident" on Tang Susu. Even a slight hint of such an accusation would backfire on them.

Knowing that they probably wouldn't cause trouble for a while, Tang Susu was actually a little disappointed. She had prepared many other methods that she hadn't used yet. What a pity.

The Tang family kept quiet. Apart from Tang Qi's outlandish ravings, everyone assumed it was just an accident, and soon no one paid attention anymore.

Everyone's attention was now fully focused on the wedding of the eldest daughter of the Huang family.

Although there were rumors that Huang Xiaoxiao had broken up with her boyfriend and returned to her first love, in the end, she married her long-term boyfriend.

Given that the protagonist was the eldest daughter of the Huang family, this wedding should have been a grand affair. However, the Huang family chose to hold a low-key wedding on a small island.

The guests were all from the Huang family, with almost no outsiders present.

As soon as this news broke, some people started speculating, saying that the Huang family was dissatisfied with their son-in-law's humble background. Others said that Huang Xiaoxiao was already pregnant and had to get married quickly.

There were even more imaginative theories, claiming that the child Huang Xiaoxiao was carrying was actually her first love's, but due to family opposition, she had to tearfully marry her current partner.

Tang Susu almost laughed herself silly when she saw this gossip. The editor's imagination was so wild; it was a waste of talent not to write a dramatic romance novel.

As one of the few who knew the truth, Tang Susu simply watched the drama unfold.

She didn't know if the other geomancers would help the Huang family solve this problem after Master Ying's incident, but all of it was destined to be futile.

The deal was not yet complete, and no one could change the outcome.

The only one who could change the outcome was Qi Yue, the person she made the deal with.

A wedding photo was posted online, showing the bride and groom smiling at each other in the sunlight, looking so blissful.

She hoped they would be happy.

"Meow, this woman has a lot of resentment. I can see it even through the photo."

Just as Tang Susu was giving herself a dose of positive self-talk, Gou Dan suddenly popped out, ruining the mood with a single sentence.

Tang Susu rolled her eyes. Why state the obvious at such a beautiful moment?

She tapped the photo. "Who cares how much resentment she has? What does it have to do with us?"

Gou Dan spoke faintly, "Isn't after-sales service all the rage now? I'm worried that that Qi Yue will want a refund."

"A refund is certainly no problem, but the payment received will not be returned."

She couldn't predict the outcome for these two. Perhaps they would stumble through life together, or perhaps one of them would leave halfway.

With her unrequited love returned, would their love last forever? Or would it be like a 昙花 (Epiphyllum oxypetalum - night-blooming cereus), momentarily brilliant, then facing withering and decay?

As a businesswoman, she naturally wished her customers happiness and well-being. She was no exception.
