As the blond guy was walking, a group of roller-skating teenagers came speeding toward him.
Spotting them, he quickly took two steps forward to dodge them.
But he accidentally stepped on a small marble someone had left on the ground.
In an instant, his feet slipped, and he lost control, tumbling forward.
“Ouch!”
Xie Tongtong, who had been happily texting Chen Zicheng on her phone, was suddenly shoved to the ground. Her phone flew out of her hand and instantly blacked out.
Sun Xiaoxuan was also dragged down with her.
Struggling to get up, Xie Tongtong panicked when she saw Sun Xiaoxuan had fallen.
“Sister-in-law, are you okay?!”
Sun Xiaoxuan looked pained.
Seeing this, Xie Tongtong immediately glared furiously at the blond guy, who was just getting up from the ground.
“Hey! Watch where you’re going! My sister-in-law is pregnant, if anything happens to her or the baby, you’re done for!”
Hearing this, the blond guy’s heart dropped.
What, pregnant?!
But he hadn’t done it on purpose!
“No way, you have to take us to the hospital right now and get my sister-in-law a full check-up!”
Xie Tongtong grabbed the blond guy’s arm, refusing to let go.
“Uh,”
The blond guy tried to speak, but Xie Tongtong cut him off with a sharp look. “What, not willing? If you don’t agree, I’ll call the police right now and let them sort this out!”
The mention of the police made the blond guy panic even more.
No way they could involve the police!
“Don’t call them! Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the hospital? Fine, let’s go. Don’t worry, I’ll cover all the costs.”
He quickly gave his word.
What else could he do? He was live-streaming, and his audience had just witnessed everything. Even though he was innocent, the fact remained that he had knocked someone over, there was no way to argue his way out of it.
Getting the police involved would only complicate things further.
Besides, who in their right mind wanted to deal with the cops?
Only after the blond guy agreed did Xie Tongtong finally release him.
She bent down to pick up her phone.
But no matter what she tried, the black screen wouldn’t turn back on. Instantly, her anger flared.
“Look what you’ve done!”
She shoved the phone in the blond guy’s face.
“This is the latest model, I just bought it! Because of you, the screen’s shattered, and it won’t even turn on! I don’t care, you have to pay for a new one!”
[Wait, isn’t that… the Huawei Mate X5 Ultimate Master Edition? I checked the other day, it costs 38,888!]
After seeing the phone’s specs pop up in the live-stream comments, the blond guy’s vision went dark.
What kind of phone costs that much?!
Is it made of gold or something?!
“Uh, how about I take it to get repaired? I’ll cover the repair costs,” he suggested.
Xie Tongtong lifted her chin. “No way! I’m not using a repaired phone! I don’t care, you have to buy me a brand-new one. As for this broken one, you can deal with it however you want. If you don’t agree, I’m calling the police!”
The blond guy: Buy a new one?!
That’s 38,888!
[Hey, doesn’t this count as losing money?]
Someone suddenly remembered what Yun Mojiu had said earlier.
[Oh right, didn’t that pretty girl predict the streamer would suffer financial loss? Looking at this, he’s about to drop at least 40K, sounds like a loss to me.]
Seeing the comments, the blond guy instantly recalled the serious look Yun Mojiu had given him.
He wanted to cry but had no tears left.
She was right after all!
“Wuwuwu, why didn’t he listen to good advice earlier?”
If he had known, he would have bought the disaster-warding talisman even if it cost 10,000, let alone 2,000 per sheet!
Two thousand is way, way cheaper compared to over forty thousand!
But there’s no such thing as a cure for regret in this world.
Sigh… Who would have thought that someone’s offhand remark would actually come true?
No ordinary person would ever believe something like this!
Sigh…
In the end, when he took the person to the hospital and Xie Tongtong insisted on getting every possible test done, racking up nearly 10,000 in medical fees, his regret deepened to the point of despair.
As for Yun Mojiu, who had predicted everything, she remained unaware of all this.
She simply took a taxi home.
Since taxis couldn’t enter the residential complex, she got out at the gate.
Just as she reached her doorstep, she sensed something amiss and swiftly sidestepped.
“Screech!”
A sharp braking sound pierced the air.
A red sedan sped past the spot where she had just been standing, its body swaying before skidding to a stop several meters away.
A young woman in a white business suit stepped out of the car.
Approaching Yun Mojiu, she wore an apologetic expression.
“I’m so sorry. One of the tires suddenly burst, and I couldn’t brake in time. Did I hit you?” Jiang Wei asked cautiously.
Yun Mojiu shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wei finally let out a relieved sigh.
“Do you live here?” Jiang Wei inquired politely.
Yun Mojiu nodded. “Yes.”
Studying the woman’s face, she frowned slightly.
“Is there something on my face?”
Noticing Yun Mojiu’s intense gaze, Jiang Wei touched her cheek, puzzled.
Yun Mojiu shook her head again. “Your face is clean, but your other half is dirty.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Wei was confused.
Yun Mojiu cut straight to the point. “Your boyfriend is cheating on you.”
Jiang Wei: ?!
“Do you know my boyfriend?” she asked, her brow furrowing.
Yun Mojiu shook her head.
“Then how do you know he’s cheating?”
“I can tell from your face.”
“You can read faces?”
“Yes, a little.”
At this, the warmth in Jiang Wei’s expression gradually turned cold.
“Miss, while it was my fault for almost hitting you earlier, I’ve already apologized. If you want compensation, I can take you to the hospital for an examination, and I’ll pay whatever is necessary. But you don’t need to say such disgusting things to me! My boyfriend treats me very well, there’s no way he’d cheat on me!”
“…Oh.”
Yun Mojiu responded indifferently before unlocking her door and stepping inside.
She had said her piece. If the other woman didn’t believe her, she wouldn’t push it.
Jiang Wei’s brows knitted together.
At first, she thought Yun Mojiu’s words were meant to provoke her.
But Yun Mojiu’s detached attitude left her uncertain.
She called for a mechanic to fix her car, then grabbed her bag and headed to her boyfriend’s place.
She had been away on a business trip for a month and wasn’t supposed to return for another week.
But to surprise her boyfriend, she had worked overtime to finish her tasks early and flown back ahead of schedule.
Eager to see him, she had rushed straight to his home.
Arriving at his place, she was puzzled to find the door unlocked.
She had texted him before coming, and he had said he was busy at work and wouldn’t be home.
So why was the door open?
Maybe the cleaning lady?
She pushed the door open gently and stepped inside.
Crossing the courtyard, she reached the villa.
The front door was slightly ajar as well.
She pushed it open again.
Just as she was about to enter, she spotted a pair of striking red high heels by the door.
Those shoes… weren’t hers!
