The Amazing son in law Chapter 7465
Seeing her, Claire smiled. “Mengmeng, why are you here so early today?”
Sun Mengmeng smiled back. “Good morning, President willson. I got up early and went to Qixia Temple to get a health talisman from a monk for my family. But I didn’t get anything in the end. I’m so disappointed.”
Claire asked curiously, “How did you come back empty-handed? Isn’t Qixia Temple open today?”
“It is open,” Sun Mengmeng said with a shrug. “I just got the timing wrong. I thought Master Jingqing would be there today, but it turns out he’s not going until tomorrow. I went too early.”
“Master Jingqing?” Claire frowned and muttered, “That name sounds familiar…”

Sun Mengmeng smiled and explained, “Master Jingqing is very well-known. He’s one of the youngest eminent monks in China. His understanding of Buddhism far surpasses that of most monks. Over the past year or two, he’s been traveling to major temples around the country, giving teachings and blessing Buddhist items. It’s said that the health and peace amulets he blesses are especially effective.”
“Really?” Claire asked, surprised.
“Of course it’s true!” Sun Mengmeng replied. “President willson, why don’t we go to Qixia Temple together tomorrow morning? If we leave around seven, we’ll be back in time for work. We can get some amulets for your husband and your parents.”
Claire smiled. “My husband actually knows a lot about Feng Shui. He even made me an amulet a long time ago.”
“That’s different,” Sun Mengmeng said seriously. “Feng Shui is based on the I Ching and Bagua, which belong more to Chinese Taoism. Master Jingqing is a Buddhist monk, and his amulets are rooted in Buddhist tradition. It’s like Android and Apple phones—they run on completely different systems.”
Claire was amused by her analogy and laughed. “Mengmeng, you’re quite something. That’s a great metaphor. But have you thought about this? Whether it’s Android or Apple, isn’t just one phone enough?”
Sun Mengmeng replied earnestly, “President willson, you know how Indians worship, right? They believe in millions of gods and can pray to any they come across. Why? It’s all about extra protection. When I face trouble, I ask blessings from both East and West. What if one god isn’t available, and another just happens to be nearby? Then at least I’ve got coverage, right?”
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and smiled. “President willson, let me show you how it’s done.”
She then closed her eyes, pressed her palms together, and earnestly recited, “God, Jesus, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West—your humble granddaughter Mengmeng prays for all the gods to bless me with wealth and a long life. Amitabha, Amen, Amen, please grant my wish quickly!”
Claire was amused by her solemn expression and laughed. “This is the first time I’ve seen anyone worship like that.”
“Isn’t it amazing?” Sun Mengmeng grinned. “These are my special techniques. So, President willson, how about joining me tomorrow? The more gods you worship, the more protection you get. It doesn’t cost a thing—just the price of admission to Qixia Temple. No risk, no loss!”
Watching Sun Mengmeng’s playful yet sincere energy, Claire couldn’t help but feel a deep fondness for her. Over the past year, the company had grown rapidly, now employing dozens of people. Yet most of them were seasoned workplace veterans—calculating and shrewd. Sun Mengmeng was different. She was diligent, cheerful, eager to learn, and never complained. Claire had already made plans to groom her for greater responsibilities.
And truthfully, Sun Mengmeng’s words had convinced her. After all, getting up a bit earlier, whether or not it brought tangible results, certainly wouldn’t hurt her or her family.
She smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll trust you this time. Let’s meet at the gate of Qixia Temple at seven tomorrow morning!”
Sun Mengmeng beamed. “Awesome! It’s a deal, President willson!”
