He walked into the fortune-telling shop and took a glance. There was a customer looking for his father to read his fortune. Seeing his father's pretentious and mysterious appearance, it went without saying that he was fooling people again.
To be honest, Shao Qianli believed in fate. Fate was really something that could be controlled by the heavens. Thinking about how he still could not escape from fate even with his special ability, he could only smile bitterly and sit quietly with his legs crossed while waiting for his father to finish his work.
Half an hour later, Shao Qianli saw that his father was done with his work and said,""How's business today? Let's pack up early. When we get home, let Mom cook a few dishes. Let's have a good drink.”
Father Shao pulled open the drawer and counted the bills. He smiled and said,"Business is good. It's more than 600 yuan. It's higher than your income as a lousy police officer, right? Do you want to learn from your father and inherit our Shao family's ancestral technique?”
Shao Qianli joked," Come on, I don't want to be called a charlatan. I don't want to wait until I'm in my thirties to find a wife like you."”
" You brat," Father Shao scolded with a smile." You look down on these unorthodox sects. If it weren't for me, where would I have the money to send you to university?"”
"Yes, yes, yes. Dad is the best. Let's go back and have a few more drinks with you.”Shao Qianli said as he put his arm around his father's shoulder.
Then, Shao Qianli drove his father's broken Ford back to his home in the suburbs of Saigon.
As soon as she arrived home, she saw Mother Shao counting the goods sent by the supermarket.
" You brat," Mother Shao said angrily." Do you have too much money to spend? You bought so much wine. If you have the money to buy these, why don't you give it to me to keep it safe for you? You can use it to get married in the future."”
Shao Qianli smiled and said," It's fine. I'll leave it for Dad to drink slowly. I'm not in a hurry to get married." Mom, hurry up and prepare some dishes. I'll drink a few more cups with Dad today.”
" I heard that you called to come back," said Mother Shao." I specially went to buy a few dishes to go with the wine. We'll have dinner when you two come back."”
At the dining table, Shao Qianli told his father to drink less every day. If he drank too much, he would get high blood pressure. He also told his mother not to go to the mahjong table every day after dinner and to exercise more. She was nagging, even more than her mother.
After lunch, Shao Qianli found some tools and cleaned up the house. He only left at eight in the evening.
After Shao Qianli left, Mother Shao called out to Father Shao and said,""Hey, old man, don't you feel that our son is acting strange today? Why do I feel a little uneasy?”
Father Shao nodded and said," I also feel that something is wrong. I've read my son's fortune. He will have a romantic calamity this year. Could it be…No, I have to go and burn incense to our ancestors. I'll ask our ancestors to bless our son."”
Then, Father Shao and Mother Shao came to the ancestral tablet together. The old couple lit an incense stick respectfully. Father Shao said,"The ancestors of the Shao family are above. The eldest grandson of the 14th generation brought his granddaughter-in-law to offer incense to the ancestors. I beg the ancestors to bless my son's safety and turn misfortune into good fortune…"
……
When Shao Qianli returned to his rented apartment in the city, it was already past 9 p. m. He estimated that it should be morning in London. He took out his phone and called Gao Jing.
Gao Jing's voice came through the phone. Shao Qianli suddenly couldn't say what he had thought of.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Jing looked at her phone. It was connected, but she didn't say anything, so she asked,"Miles, do you have something to say to me?”
Shao Qianli stammered for a long time before he braced himself and said,"Gao Jing…let's…break up."
On the phone, Gao Jing was silent for a while and said,"I'll listen to you."
It was obvious that Gao Jing's words were a little bitter and helpless.
Shao Qianli stammered,"I'm sorry…Gao Jing…I…You'd better forget about me."”
On the phone, Gao Jing said," Actually, even if you didn't say it, I wanted to break up with you these few days. We've come to this point…I really feel tired…I want to start a new life…I don't want to be entangled with you anymore."”
Shao Qianli replied," In the end, I'm the one who let you down. Actually, I'm in trouble. It's very likely that…I'll go to jail…"
"I know everything about you. I heard it from my dad." Gao Jing replied.”
Shao Qianli was speechless and could only keep saying,"I'm sorry…I'm sorry…"
On the phone, Gao Jing couldn't help but cry. She choked and said,"I won't be coming back if you go to court... I don't want to see you go to jail... I will pray for you in the church... If you can be safe and sound, I wish you happiness..."
Shao Qianli still wanted to say something, but Gao Jing had already hung up.
Gao Jing was a devout Christian. All she could do now was to come to the statue of Jesus and pray to the Lord, begging Shao Qianli for all his safety.
She didn't want the baby in his belly to have a murderer as soon as it was born.
Shao Qianli still didn't know that he was about to have a child, but Gao Jing decided to keep this secret. She couldn't abort this child, or the merciful and omnipotent God wouldn't forgive her.
After hanging up the phone, Shao Qianli recalled every detail of his life with Gao Jing over the years.
Gao Jing was neither beautiful nor ugly. Her biggest weakness was that she had freckles on her face. She was a big and fierce person. Her biggest advantage was that her skin was very fair, tender, smooth, and delicate. She looked a little fresh.
However, don't be fooled by her quiet appearance. Gao Jing was actually a tough woman. She had a second degree black belt in Taekwondo and was the champion of the Hong Kong Women's Boxing Team for three consecutive years.
Shao Qianli and Gao Jing were classmates at the Police Officer University. Back then, Gao Jing had pursued Shao Qianli relentlessly. Shao Qianli was afraid that if he rejected her too directly, it would hurt the girl's face. He was also afraid that the difference in their family backgrounds would be huge and it would be difficult for them to get along in the future. Therefore, he had always been lukewarm towards Gao Jing.
During the five years of university, Gao Jing would pester Shao Qianli whenever she was free. To outsiders, they seemed to be in a relationship, but in fact, there was nothing between them.
It wasn't until they were about to graduate that Gao Jing begged her father to help her settle Shao Qianli's matter of entering the police station. Shao Qianli was extremely grateful, but he also felt that he should repay Gao Jing's infatuation. Only then did the two of them have a substantial development.
However, after the two of them lived together, they realized that their married life was incompatible. There was no feeling of love at all. They quarreled every three days, quarreled every five days, and broke up every once in a while.
After graduation, Shao Qianli entered the Sha Tian Police Station, while Gao Jing went to the Ying Country's Royal Police Academy to study for her Master's degree. The two of them were not on good terms, and in the past two years, they had spent less time together and more time apart, so their relationship had become weaker.
Shao Qianli and Gao Jing were both conservative people. When they first started living together, they had already decided that the other party was their lifelong partner. However, after living together, she had to admit that reality was far from her ideal.
Perhaps this was what the old people often said,"Eight characters are in conflict."
The two of them were actually very conflicted about this relationship. What should they do in the future? They were both very confused. Just now, he took the initiative to break up, and Gao Jing seemed to be planning to let go of this relationship.
However, Shao Qianli still did not feel good. There was relief, regret, and even more guilt.
