Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1067: Sick Friend Chapter 1069: Chapter 1067: Sick Friend “Mr. Consultant!”

The dinner party, already halfway through, brimmed with anticipation once again due to Fu Qian’s maneuver.

Lady Cecilia, too, was quite particular and didn’t keep the group waiting for long, soon arriving at the address given.

Still by herself, she greeted Fu Qian with a smiling “hello,” then her gaze elegantly swept across everyone’s faces as she greeted them one by one.

“Sorry to intrude!”

It seemed she felt no discomfort even though this was not a private meeting.

Though still dressed in her simple attire, Lady Cecilia, feeling exceptionally spirited due to her worsened condition, looked lively and captivating.

Having already met once, Tan Ying was somewhat at ease; others, even the well-traveled Young Master Qin, couldn’t maintain their usual light-hearted banter and greeted her earnestly.

Is this the shattered filter bought with a sacrifice of the mind?

Fu Qian watched with a series of tsk-tsks from the sidelines.

In his view, everyone present had decent mental fortitude; achieving such a stunning effect with mere good looks was still quite difficult.

Moreover, in terms of looks alone, even Tan Ying wasn’t far behind.

But the addition of a mad contrast in persona made the effect outstandingly superior.

“Sorry, we started a bit earlier, Sister Cecilia. What would you like to eat? I’ll have them prepare it.”

After the greetings, Tan Ying was the first to speak.

“I should be the one apologizing for barging in so late.”

Lady Cecilia responded with a smile and a wave of her hand.

“As for food, Mr. Consultant, do you have any recommendations?”

True to her status as a troubled heiress, she effortlessly delegated even her food choices to the consultant.

“You can ask the dining consultant for tonight.”

Unfortunately, she clearly wasn’t familiar with the idea of subcontracting as Fu Qian, without blinking, pointed towards Tan Ying.

I…

Tan Ying inwardly rolled her eyes for a moment, then with a resigned sigh, began to think.

“This is much appreciated.”

With a flawless smile, Lady Cecilia seated herself comfortably.

“What were you discussing just now?”

“Painting art, psychological age, and some other issues concerning you.”

Fu Qian recalled briefly, listing them accurately.

Are you really okay with being so open…

While everyone else was speechless, Lady Cecilia blinked in slight surprise.

Under the slightly awkward gaze of the audience, she didn’t seem as displeased as imagined.

“Among those three topics, I guess I’m somewhat better with the first.”

Her subsequent comment was indeed thought-provoking.

“After all, while not particularly talented, I do have a wide range of experiences.”

…

Given Lady Cecilia’s unusually approachable demeanor, the atmosphere quickly relaxed again.

Clearly, her self-assessment earlier contained quite a bit of modesty.

Though not talkative, her occasional insights revealed that she had indeed explored a wide range of artistic fields.

Initially merely polite, Tan Ying gradually seemed more engaged in conversation.

“She seems pretty normal!”

While the group discussed today’s gallery collections, Young Master Qin turned to Fu Qian and mouthed.

“Much appreciated.”

Fu Qian, expressionless, mouthed back the same way.

…

Aware of his style, Qin Mingze took less than half a second to realize that Fu Qian had interpreted his comment as praise for the effectiveness of his psychological counseling.

With a resigned sigh, he suddenly thought of something, snapped his fingers, and whispered a call.

“Do you remember Xu Meng?”

“Of course.”

Fu Qian recalled a certain big boss running under the sunset.

“Reliable sources say he must have gone to accompany his son.”

Perhaps because Lady Cecilia was nearby, Young Master Qin used very discreet language without any words related to “crazy.”

“So soon!”

Fu Qian was also slightly surprised at the moment.

It hadn’t been long; he thought that even if his inner demon was deeply rooted, it would still take time to ferment.

What do you mean so soon? Had you arranged a schedule or something?

Of course, his shock also surprised Young Master Qin.

Last time, this guy wasn’t too surprised when Xu Meng streaked in the street; could it be…

“Professional psychological consultation.”

With an “I know what you’re thinking” tone, Fu Qian nodded while pointing at himself.

“I could tell at a glance that President Xu would not recover from his fears.”

“Unfortunately, everything has its own destiny in the world. President Xu’s obsession is hard to let go of; now, with the family legacy continuing, it can be considered a fulfillment of a different kind of virtue.”

Damn family legacy, you’re going about this all wrong…

Young Master Qin stared at Fu Qian for a long while and finally shook his head speechlessly.

When faced with potential retaliation, it was not surprising that the kid was fearless.

Now that the person directly went insane and the threat was eliminated, he still didn’t show any relaxed emotion, apparently not taking President Xu seriously at all.

Of course, even though Fu Qian acted so bizarrely, Qin Mingze never thought this guy actually had anything to do with the Xu family’s misfortunes.

He’s a psychologist, not a magician; you have to believe in science.

“What are you guys talking about?”

At this moment, Lady Cecilia, who was having a delightful conversation with Tan Ying and others, casually turned her head and asked Fu Qian and the others.

“Trouble never comes alone, a pitiful father and son.”

With a sigh, Young Master Qin briefly explained the tragic experiences that befell President Xu.

Except for Tan Ying, who didn’t react much, as if she already knew, everyone else clearly heard about the latest developments for the first time and were incessantly sighing.

“Did you do this?”

Among them, Lady Cecilia looked particularly thoughtful and stared directly at Fu Qian as she asked.

Hmm?

This question shocked Young Master Qin as well.

He had just described the Xu family’s misfortunes from a completely independent third-party perspective without mixing any personal feelings, and Fu Qian’s name hadn’t even come up.

How could she make such a firm assumption?

“Hmm.”

What shocked him even more was yet to come; then he saw Fu Qian hum through his nose.

“I originally had no intention of bothering with them, but they just had to seek their own doom.”

Haha…

While everyone was shocked, Lady Cecilia first paused, then her laughter grew from quiet to loud until she was heartily amused.

“The legendary domineering persona is indeed interesting; so how exactly did you manage to turn them into that?”

“Simple, first a move of ‘Sky Light Manifest’ cleansed one of their immense bitterness, then, when another came seeking revenge, I just left him to fall into the abyss of endless negation.”

With a sharp gaze and a deep voice, Fu Qian downed the tea in his cup, speaking with full strategic planning.

“A real man should be like this!”

Beside him, Lady Cecilia listened intently and couldn’t help but clap in admiration at the end, wishing she could have witnessed it herself.

These two must have met in a support group or something…

Meanwhile, faced with this sudden turn of events, the other four people were dumbfounded, all having the same thought cross their minds.
