Wu Siling glanced at Jiujiu and said softly, "There was a master in the Wu family who once performed a divination for the future generations. He said that the Wu family was destroyed by Gemini."
Wu Siling laughed self-deprecatingly. "For generations, the Wu family only had one heir. When it came to my generation, my wife found out that I was a twin. After discussing with the other members of the family, in order to prevent the prophecy from coming true, we chose to keep only one. Because the ancestors said that they were twins, I kept the eldest."
Jiujiu was speechless.
She thought that there would be some unspeakable difficulties that made Wu Siling, the father, give up his own flesh and blood. She didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous reason.
Because of the ancestor's words, he threw away his own daughter.
Because the ancestor said that it was a pair of twins, the second child was thrown away, because two harmonies meant twins.
People said that even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. However, they didn't think that a tiger wouldn't eat its own children, but a human could abandon his own children for glory and wealth.
It was ridiculous.
"President Wu, can you tell me when your two children were born?" Jiujiu smiled. "I'm not talented, but I've learned divination."
Since he had already revealed the secret of why he threw away the children, Wu Siling didn't have anything to hide about the birth dates of the two children, so he told her everything.
Jiujiu calculated with her fingers and laughed again.
Wu Siling's ancestor was most likely a charlatan. As for the prophecy, it was even more nonsense.
It was the new century now. She didn't expect that there would still be people who believed such ridiculous words. The most ridiculous thing was that there were so many ways to give up the children. It would have been better to give the children away, but Wu Siling heartlessly threw the children away.
If the children hadn't been picked up by kind-hearted people and sent to the orphanage, Eighteen would have died long ago.
Wu Siling saw Jiujiu's serious expression and panicked. Thinking of the years of unrest, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem with the divination?"
"There is a problem." Jiujiu counted with her fingers for a moment and said, "It's true that the Wu family was destroyed by the Gemini Stars, but your ancestor's accent might be lighter, so he should say 'flourish' instead of 'perish'."
Looking at Wu Siling's shocked expression, Jiujiu continued, "If CEO Wu ignored the family's objection and kept the two children, the Wu family would definitely prosper because of the arrival of the twins. Unfortunately …"
Unfortunately, Wu Siling chose to give up a child for the sake of glory and wealth.
Only one of the twins was left in the Wu Family, so it was naturally useless.
Jiujiu looked at Wu Siling's incredulous expression and added, "But there is still a chance. If Boss Wu can find the twin you abandoned, this divination will still be useful."
Wu Siling's face looked worse than if he were crying. He no longer cared about Jiujiu's presence and muttered, "It's too late."
When he gave up Eighteen for Wu Xinni, Eighteen was almost dead. Later, he found Eighteen and asked her to bear a child for Zhou Jinnian because the Zhou family's child had the blood of both the Zhou and Wu families.
In order to avoid future troubles, he acquiesced to Wu Xinni's nonsense and let the Zhou family deal with Eighteen after she gave birth.
Thinking of Eighteen's suicide by jumping into the river, Wu Siling's eyes were full of despair.
She was dead. The Wu family had no chance.
Seeing Wu Siling's pale face, Jiujiu stood up and walked to the door. She said to Wu Siling in the bathroom, "Don't worry, CEO Wu. I promised you that I would give this project to CEO Zhou, so I will give it to him."
Jiujiu opened the door and was about to leave.
Wu Siling, who was sad just now, immediately stood up when he heard that Jiujiu was leaving. He said, "Wait a minute, CEO Li. I have something to say."
The Wu family was on the decline and had to rely on Zhou Jinnian. Wu Xinni was spoiled by him and knew nothing. When he and his wife passed away, the Wu family would probably fulfill the prophecy.
According to his agreement with Zhou Jinnian, the Wu family was Wu Xinni's disguise. As long as the Zhou family was alive, the Wu family would still exist.
The only reason for the Wu family's demise was that the Zhou family was disloyal.
Wu Siling believed in his ancestor's prophecy. Naturally, he was willing to believe that Zhou Jinnian was disloyal to the Wu family.
Wu Siling finally understood what the so-called demise of the Wu family was all about.
The child he abandoned was not the so-called jinx, but the key to Wu Jiawang.
Because of Jiujiu's prophecy, Wu Siling began to suspect Zhou Jinnian.
Jiujiu said, "CEO Wu, do you have anything else to say to me?"
Wu Siling nodded. "Can you give this project to the Wu family?"
"I will consider Mr. Wu's suggestion."
Jiujiu said and turned to leave.
When she said she would give it to the Wu family, she was just saying. As for whether she would give it to the Wu family, it depended on the future.
She said she would consider it, but she did not say how long she would consider it.
One day, one year, or ten years could be considered. As long as she insisted that she had not thought it through, it meant that she was still considering it.
Wu Siling had no idea what Jiujiu meant. He was still waiting for an answer.
After knowing the whole story, Jiujiu directly made a move on the Zhou family.
Zhou Jinnian thought that even if the collaboration was canceled this time, the two families could still become friends. However, he did not expect that Jiujiu would cooperate with a company that had always been at odds with the Zhou family as soon as she met Wu Siling. She even injected capital into the other party so that they could snatch the Zhou family's project.
Zhou Jinnian immediately called Jiujiu, but found that Jiujiu had blocked him.
It happened so suddenly that Zhou Jinnian sent a message to Wu Xinni and asked her to try to contact Jiujiu.
Wu Xinni was still shopping abroad. She had no idea what had happened during this period of time. She could contact Jiujiu, but she had only said one sentence before she was blocked.
Wu Xinni was confused. She even scolded Jiujiu with Zhou Jinnian for a long time.
It was strange that she was blocked for no reason.
Zhou Jinnian was being targeted by Jiujiu.
Thinking that Jiujiu had the support of the government, Zhou Jinnian was not sure if Jiujiu was targeting him alone or if the government was behind it.
If Jiujiu was targeting him alone, he could try to fight back. If the government was also targeting him, he was doomed.
Zhou Jinnian was young and bold. After snatching a few projects, he lingered on for a while.
One day, Zhou Jinnian drove to Jiujiu's company.
Jiujiu had asked the receptionist to stop Zhou Jinnian. Zhou Jinnian could not enter, so he waited for Jiujiu downstairs.
When he saw Jiujiu coming out, Zhou Jinnian immediately got out of the car and walked up to her. "Jiujiu."
Suddenly, Jiujiu heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Zhou Jinnian.
Zhou Jinnian's face looked haggard, especially his eyes. There were two huge dark circles under his eyes, which made him look like a mess.
Jiujiu stopped and looked at Zhou Jinnian sideways. She smiled and said, "Long time no see, President Zhou. What brings you here?"
"Don't you know why I'm here?" She forced him to be so close to her in the business world, but she could still smile and say "long time no see" when they met again. Zhou Jinnian did not know whether to praise Jiujiu or praise Jiujiu's acting skills.
