For someone who couldn’t read expressions or understand hints, Yun Mojiu had completely lost her patience.
She leisurely swept a glance at the man and chuckled lightly, “Sir, your lips are thick and upturned at the corners, which means you’re quite popular with women. You must have no shortage of female admirers.”
Hearing Yun Mojiu praise him, Chen Zicheng’s mood instantly brightened.
She wasn’t wrong, he was indeed well-liked by women.
But in the next second, Yun Mojiu’s tone shifted.
“However, the mole on your ‘Deception Gate’ indicates lust and greed, as well as infidelity in relationships. I imagine you change girlfriends faster than you change clothes, and you usually refuse to take responsibility after sleeping with them. Someone like you, whether it’s sharing a meal or even just a conversation disgusts me. I don’t think there’s any need for us to be friends.”
Yun Mojiu’s bluntness was like a stick, ruthlessly poking through Chen Zicheng’s facade.
His expression darkened instantly.
“You!”
“Yun Mojiu, don’t pretend to know what you’re talking about! I think this gentleman is handsome and dignified, nothing like what you described. You’re truly malicious, instead of appreciating his kind invitation, you slander him like this. You have no manners at all!”
Just then, Xie Tongtong’s voice suddenly rang out from behind Yun Mojiu.
Chen Zicheng, who had been about to curse, swallowed his words.
He looked up past Yun Mojiu.
When he saw Xie Tongtong and Sun Xiaoxuan, his anger immediately subsided, replaced by a look of aggrieved innocence.
Yun Mojiu also noticed Xie Tongtong and her friend.
Glancing between the self-righteous Xie Tongtong and Chen Zicheng, the corners of her lips curled into a cryptic smile.
“True, I lack manners. You, on the other hand, are the epitome of courtesy.”
Her words carried a hidden meaning.
With that, she turned and walked away.
For some reason, even though Yun Mojiu hadn’t said anything particularly harsh, Xie Tongtong felt as though she had been insulted.
She was fuming inside.
“Miss, thank you for speaking up for me just now.”
Chen Zicheng’s voice interrupted Xie Tongtong’s rising anger.
“You’re so beautiful, and your heart is just as kind. Unlike that other young lady, I merely wanted to treat her to a meal out of goodwill, yet she falsely accused me of all sorts of things. I really…”
He lowered his head with feigned sorrow and sighed.
Hearing him praise her beauty and kindness, Xie Tongtong’s cheeks flushed instantly.
“Oh, I’m not as good as you say.”
She cast a bashful glance at Chen Zicheng before suddenly widening her eyes in recognition.
“You’re Chen Zicheng, the only heir of the Chen family?”
The Chen family’s standing was on par with the Xie family’s, and Chen Zicheng was their sole successor. She had caught a glimpse of him at a banquet once.
Earlier, she had been too focused on arguing with Yun Mojiu to pay attention to his appearance.
Now, upon closer inspection, she realized he was none other than the young master of the Chen family!
He was undeniably handsome, so gentlemanly, and his words were so pleasing…
Xie Tongtong’s heart skipped a beat, her ears growing warm.
…
Yun Mojiu went on to buy some shoes, undergarments, and gifts for her family before finally leaving the mall.
Fortunately, she didn’t run into Xie Tongtong or her friend again.
Outside the mall entrance was a large plaza, bustling with pedestrians and small street vendors.
As she walked, another person stopped her in her tracks.
The young man appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five, with short, dyed blond hair, wearing a checkered shirt and holding a phone in his hand. He smiled warmly at her.
“Excuse me, miss, we’re doing a street interview. Could you spare a minute or two?”
His eyes lit up with admiration as he looked at her, but his gaze remained clear, free of any ulterior motives.
Yun Mojiu nodded. “Sure, no problem.”
What she didn’t know was that the live chat in the stream had exploded the moment her face appeared on screen.
[Wow wow wow, this girl is so pretty! She’s got such an amazing vibe! She’s literally my ideal type, ahhhhh!]
[Is this an angel descended from heaven? Oh my god, I’m seeing a fairy right now, wuwuwu, she’s so beautiful it’s making me cry, how can someone be this stunning?!]
[Is she really not a celebrity? She looks even prettier than most stars!]
[One second… I need all the info on this woman!]
Yun Mojiu answered each of the interviewer’s questions earnestly.
Her voice was crisp and clear, her words well-structured and unhurried, instantly making droves of netizens swoon.
[Seriously, can’t she be my girlfriend? I’m totally obsessed with her looks, even though I’m a girl myself…]
[Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s also so articulate, I wish I could jump through the screen just to see her in person!]
Just as the viewers were utterly enchanted by Yun Mojiu’s divine beauty, her next words left them all stunned.
She stared at the screen, or rather, at the blond-haired young man across from her and said with utmost seriousness, “I observe that your Wealth Palace is glowing red. This is a sign of impending financial loss. If you wish to avert this misfortune, I have a Disaster-Warding Talisman. Just two thousand yuan per piece.”
She held up two slender, delicate fingers, her expression completely earnest.
Hearing this, the blond interviewer’s face froze: “Uh… (⊙o⊙)…”
Had he just run into a scammer? Or… a scammer?
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the live chat erupted.
[No way! Did the host just bump into a con artist?]
[What kind of talisman costs two grand? That’s half my monthly salary!]
[Wow, you’re rich… that’s my entire month’s slave wage!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, with looks like hers, she could do anything, why resort to scamming?]
[HAHAHAHA, host’s mind is blown, right? Never expected to get hustled during an interview, LOLOLOL, this is too funny.]
[What kind of financial loss needs two grand to fix?]
[You actually believe her? If she turns out to be right, I’ll livestream eating sh*t!]
[Science, democracy, rule of law, uphold the core socialist values! No superstition, no proselytizing!]
The same netizens who had been gushing over Yun Mojiu’s ethereal beauty moments ago now seemed completely disillusioned.
The blond interviewer awkwardly forced a smile.
“Uh… I don’t really believe in that stuff, but thanks for taking part in the interview. Here’s a little gift for you.”
He quickly handed her a small plush toy.
Seeing his skepticism, Yun Mojiu didn’t press further.
She accepted the toy and walked away without another word.
The blond interviewer exhaled in relief.
He had genuinely worried she might try to force-sell him some talisman.
With so many viewers watching, he wouldn’t have known how to refuse.
Luckily, Yun Mojiu didn’t push it.
Glancing around, he quickly spotted his next interview target.
“Hey everyone, wasn’t that girl just now absolutely stunning?”
He turned the camera toward himself, his face beaming with a bright smile.
“Today’s been such a lucky day, I just spotted two more gorgeous girls, totally different in style from the last one. Let’s go say hi to them now.”
With that, he flipped the camera around, zooming in on Xie Tongtong and Sun Xiaoxuan as they stepped out of the mall.
