The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 82

Elaine was absolutely thrilled!

All these gifts were incredibly valuable!

While she wasn’t sure about the worth of the antiques, she knew that the box of collectible Moutai Flying Fairy liquor was significant—each bottle was valued at thirty to forty thousand, making the box of twenty bottles worth hundreds of thousands!

Then there were the collectible Yellow Crane cigars; each pack cost five thousand, and with fifty packs in a box, the total exceeded two hundred thousand. Combined, those two items alone were worth a million!

What a wonderful opportunity!

With those two VIP cards in her possession, she finally had the means to impress her old friends!

Claire observed Elaine’s greedy expression and sighed, “Mom…”

Elaine shot her a look, “What’s wrong? Can’t I accept a gift from someone?”

Claire replied, “I just think we shouldn’t take it. I still don’t fully understand what’s happening. How can I accept such a valuable gift?”

At this moment, Charlie stated calmly, “This is an apology gift; you should accept it.”

The middle-aged man felt relieved.

Before they came, the Pavilion Master had emphasized that if Mr. Wade did not accept these items, they couldn’t return.

Charlie turned to see Elaine joyfully arranging the cigarettes and alcohol in the house. She was admiring a pair of antique vases, examining them under the lamp. He sighed internally and told the middle-aged man, “You can head back now.”

“Sure, I won’t interrupt you, Mr. Wade,” he responded.

Charlie closed the door, turned around, and was surprised to see all three people in the living room staring at him curiously.

Elaine cleared her throat, faking a smile, and asked, “Charlie, when did you become friends with the Treasure Pavilion? Why did they come to our house with gifts and apologies?”

Charlie shook his head, “Mom, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have any relationship with them. They came to apologize mainly because the Treasure Pavilion emphasizes good service. Their staff made mistakes, and the boss wanted to compensate extensively…”

Elaine deflated instantly, her expression falling as she said, “I thought you were successful and could mingle with important people, but it turns out it’s just because of their good service…”

Claire was somewhat puzzled. Did they really send such expensive gifts just to apologize for a poor service experience?

However, after receiving so many gifts, Elaine’s mood improved. She finally stopped directing her annoyance at Charlie and began to plot how to sell the cigarettes and alcohol first.

After dinner, while Charlie was washing the dishes in the kitchen, he suddenly received a call.

The caller was Graham, who had met Charlie on two occasions and had been supportive.

The jade bracelet had been gifted to him by Graham.

On the phone, Graham said respectfully, “Master Wade!”

Charlie replied indifferently, “What’s up?”

Graham hurriedly said, “Thanks to your advice last time, the Quinton family has experienced much smoother sailing lately. We owe you a debt of gratitude otherwise, our family would have faced significant trouble.”

Charlie responded nonchalantly, “I wouldn’t say it’s been that smooth. If it were, why are you calling me now?”

Graham hesitated, managing an awkward laugh, “You truly possess an uncanny insight, Mr. Wade. Nothing escapes your notice.”

Charlie merely smiled faintly and remained silent.

Eventually, Graham spoke with a tremor in his voice, “Mr. Wade, please help my Quinton family again. We will forever be in your debt.”

His voice turned pale and he trembled slightly as if gripped by fear.

Charlie frowned and asked calmly, “Is the jade cracked?”

“Indeed, Mr. Wade is truly perceptive. You’re absolutely right.” With deep reverence, Graham continued, “I followed your advice and worshipped the jade plug. I instructed my family to adhere to a vegetarian diet for seven days and avoid bloodshed.”

“However, my incompetent nephew Adam secretly consumed pigeon soup, accidentally tainting the jade plug with pigeon blood. It immediately shattered into pieces. I punished him and confined him at home, but strange occurrences continue to unfold!”

Charlie furrowed his brow and asked, “What strange occurrences?”

Graham rushed to explain, “Last night, a fierce storm hit and a lightning bolt struck the courtyard of the Quinton home, setting ablaze a century-old osmanthus tree. To make matters worse, the ancestral tablet in our ancestral hall inexplicably fell and broke into two pieces. This is an unmistakable bad omen.”

Charlie pondered this. In Feng Shui, an osmanthus tree planted in a courtyard symbolizes wealth and good fortune.

However, if such a tree was struck by lightning, it foretold the family’s downfall.

Breakage of the ancestral tablet indicated impending ruin for the Quinton family.

He hadn’t anticipated the ominous force of the jade plug to be so intense, to the point where it could be activated by pigeon blood.

Graham’s heart raced as he awaited Charlie’s response, pleading, “Even though my Quinton family is involved in business, we have always been kind and never engaged in wrongful actions. Please show mercy, Master Wade and save us!”

Charlie replied, “Graham, it’s not that I won’t help you, but the jade plug’s curse is far too severe. Adam has been affected for years and the evil presence now envelops the Quinton family home. Ordinary methods will not quell it.”

“What should we do, then? This calamity is truly devastating for the Quinton family!” Graham exclaimed, trembling.

Charlie contemplated for a moment before saying, “The evil force becomes more powerful with blood, especially pigeon blood. To subdue such a heavy curse, we must rely on the strength of heaven and earth’s treasures.”

“Alright, if there’s anything Master Wade needs, I will do whatever it takes,” Graham promised desperately.

Charlie replied calmly, “I’ll be attending an auction at the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow. I’ll look for any spiritual objects there. Whether you can acquire them will depend on your luck.”

“Thank you, Master Wade, I will owe you a great debt.” Graham remarked, relieved as if he had found a lifeline.

He quickly added, “Mr. Wade, I will send you a black card. If you need money for anything, just swipe it!”

Charlie acknowledged, knowing he couldn’t let his expenses fall solely on him while assisting the Quinton family. He then cautioned, “Prepare yourself mentally, obtaining heaven and earth treasures isn’t straightforward. You can only come across them by chance and whether they are at the auction depends on your family’s fortune.”

Graham kept insistent, “Yes, I will inquire further privately, but I still must trouble you, Master Wade.”

After the incident, he sought the help of several renowned Feng Shui Masters, but they took one look at the Quinton family’s home and quickly turned him away, not daring to enter due to fear.

Now, Graham’s only hope of salvation rested with Charlie.

Charlie couldn’t shake his feelings of concern.

According to numerology, Graham was an individual who had never done anything wrong throughout his life and should have met a peaceful end.

Who could have predicted that fate would turn against him? The presence of Adam, a harbinger of disaster, had caused chaos in the family. If he did not intervene, the Quinton family could face destruction within a year.

Not only would it be detrimental to Graham and Adam, but also to his charming little firecracker, Aurora, who might also suffer dire consequences!
