Chapter 212: Chinese Physiognomist Li Tiekou

Back in the homeland, many among the older generation believed in Feng Shui and fate.

The Chinese living abroad were no different; in fact, they were even more superstitious than those back home. For example, over ninety percent of the people in Xiangdao were highly superstitious. In Xiangdao, when the wealthy built skyscrapers, they had to examine the Feng Shui and hire a Feng Shui Master. Film crews would seek out a master to pick an auspicious date to start production, burning incense to worship the God of Wealth or Guan Gong. Also in Xiangdao, young people getting married had to check their birth charts to ensure compatibility.

Meanwhile, on the Continent, very few people still checked birth charts nowadays. However, these traditions of the older generation remained quite popular abroad.

Therefore, when Li Boju of the Li Family heard the words "Baihu Girl," he was startled. Without even waiting for Ye Yuanhang to finish speaking, he interrupted him.

"It’s like this. This matter has actually been a hurdle I couldn’t get over in my heart, so I don’t want to deceive you all anymore. Boju, tomorrow I will make a unilateral statement to break off the engagement between Ziqiu and Ziheng.

"But don’t worry, Boju. In the Ye Family, there are plenty of girls of the same generation and age as Ziqiu. My own daughter, Zisu, has always liked Ziheng, so you can try to persuade him. Ziqiu really isn’t suitable for Ziheng!"

Li Boju was taken aback. Why was Ye Yuanhang recommending his own daughter?

He wondered if Ye Ziqiu was really a Baihu Girl, or if Ye Yuanhang had just made it up. However, true or not, it wasn’t as if he didn’t know Li Tiekou, so a single phone call would clear things up, right? Thus, Ye Yuanhang had no reason to deceive him.

"Yuanhang, you startled me." Li Boju was relatively calm and did not follow up on Ye Yuanhang’s previous topic. The Baihu Girl, recommending Ye Zisu, unilaterally canceling the engagement—he couldn’t express his stance on these matters carelessly. "Yuanhang, no matter what decision you make, you must be cautious. Let’s leave it at that for now."

Li Boju didn’t say much to Ye Yuanhang. First, the marriage alliance between the two families hadn’t succeeded yet; second, Ye Yuanhang was merely calling to inform him, not to discuss it with him.

As a top-tier elite businessman, Li Boju could quickly analyze Ye Yuanhang’s intention behind this call. That was, to temporarily break off the engagement. Since Ye Yuanhang had already made up his mind, the Li Family wouldn’t shamelessly cling to the arrangement. After all, if the Li Family and the Ye Family were to form a marriage alliance, it would be the Ye Family marrying up.

For Ye Yuanhang to make such an offensive decision at a time like this, there had to be a deeper reason. However, Li Boju couldn’t ask, because asking would imply that the Li Family cared a lot about this marriage. In truth, interpersonal communication was just like that, and communication among high-end elites was even more so—they would only voice thirty percent of their thoughts, leaving the remaining seventy percent for you to figure out yourself.

However, immediately after hanging up on Ye Yuanhang, Li Boju found the phone number of the Chinese Physiognomist Li Tiekou and dialed it.

Soon, after ringing seven or eight times, the call was finally answered. The person on the other end sounded very impatient, as it was also late at night in Canada.

"Mr. Li, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night. I am Li Boju!"

"Oh, Chairman Li, is there an urgent matter this late?"

Upon hearing it was Li Boju, Li Tiekou, who was originally quite impatient, suddenly changed his tone, becoming cautious and polite! Because Li Boju was a great patron. A casual red envelope from him would be a small fortune. Thus, facing the God of Wealth, how could Li Tiekou afford to be impatient?

"It’s like this," Li Boju pondered for a moment before saying. "I just spoke with Ye Yuanhang on the phone. I heard that you read the birth chart of his niece, Ye Ziqiu?"

"Ye Ziqiu? That little girl? I know her." Li Tiekou instantly recalled the little girl from years ago, as he had a deep impression of her.

"Yes, yes, that’s her," Li Boju nodded repeatedly.

Li Tiekou suddenly fell silent. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t disclose someone else’s fate to an unrelated person. However, the caller was Li Boju, the president of the Canada Chinese Business Association. The man had a net worth of trillions. It was said that his family owned power companies, real estate companies, water companies, telecommunications companies, oil companies... and so on and so forth. In any case, he practically monopolized most of the basic necessities—food, clothing, housing, and transportation—of an entire nation.

Therefore, Li Boju was even more of a God of Wealth than the God of Wealth himself!

Li Boju did not rush him, as he believed Li Tiekou’s emotional intelligence was not low.

Sure enough, Li Tiekou sighed and said, "Normally, I cannot reveal other people’s fates to outsiders, but our relationship is different. I have a lot of admiration for you, Chairman Li!"

He kept it brief, stopping right at the perfect point, and then immediately continued, "That little girl was only about six or seven years old back then, but I remember her birth hour perfectly clearly.

"Her birth hour, corresponding to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, perfectly aligns with the Baihu constellation among the Four Symbols. Thus, I deduced back then that this girl has the fate of a Baihu.

"In fact, whether she truly has the fate of a Baihu or not can be seen once she grows up. Just find a woman to take a bath with her and see if she has any... um... hair down there, and you’ll know.

"However, I have calculated so many fates in my life and have never once miscalculated. My title of ’Iron Mouth’ for spot-on predictions is no empty boast.

"So that child indeed has a Baihu fate!"
