Wendy couldn’t help crying, and choked up: “Mom, I don’t even think about it. Our family has been very good before, and all aspects were pretty good. I had a very good relationship with Gerald, and we were about to get married. Suddenly, every day it got worse…”
Horiyah sighed and said, “I have to go to the temple to worship another day. If this continues, my life will be lost…”
Wendy said: “Mom, let me think about it now. Our family is beginning to get bad luck. It seems that it started after grandma’s previous birthday.”
“Huh?” Horiyah asked in astonishment: “Which time was the birthday?”
Wendy said: “Just last time, last birthday banquet, Gerald gave grandma a Hetian jade Buddha, Wendell who pursued Claire, and sent grandma a jade amulet.”
Horiyah nodded: “I remember that Wendell Jones’s jade amulet is worth a lot of money. It is said to be worth three or four million…”
Speaking of this, Horiyah lamented regretfully: “What a pity! That jade amulet, along with your grandma’s other antique jewelry, was sealed by the bank.”
Wendy said: “At that birthday banquet, Charlie also asked grandmother to borrow money, saying that he was going to see that aunt in that welfare house, do you remember?”
“Remember.” Horiyah gritted her teeth and cursed: “Charlie’s stinky hanging silk, borrowing money at the birthday banquet, really brave. Finally, your grandma scolded him so badly. I am happy when I think of it!”
Wendy said: “I don’t want to say this, I want to say, I always feel that since that night, our family has started to be unlucky…”
“Really?” Horiyah frowned and asked her, “What was the first unfortunate thing?”
Wendy hurriedly said: “The first thing is the day after the birthday banquet! I went to the Emgrand Group with Gerald and wanted to send invitations to the Vice Chairman of Emgrand Group Doris. By the way, I also climbed up the relationship, and ended up in the Emgrand Group I ran into Charlie…”
“Charlie?” Horiyah asked, “Why did Charlie go there?”
Wendy said: “Charlie said at the time that he was applying for a job in the Emgrand Group, and then Gerald and I mocked him, and then something strange happened…”
“What?!”
