Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 143 - 116: The Life That Could Have Been

When Mu Yunchu arrived at Jing Anjun’s doorstep, she happened to see an ambulance carrying someone out on a stretcher.

After pondering for a moment, she turned around and followed to the hospital.

Although Meng Qing was knocked unconscious, he wasn’t in any life-threatening condition, so after his wounds were treated, he was transferred to a regular single ward.

While passing by the nurses’ station, she could hear them discussing the matter.

"What’s up with that new young guy? A good young man got beaten like this."

"I suspect someone targeted him for revenge. Didn’t you hear, he came in lying on a stretcher with several stacks of cash on him. According to a colleague, it’s estimated to total at least a hundred thousand."

"A hundred thousand??? He must have angered some big shot. No wonder he didn’t call the police after waking up..."

...

Seeing someone pass by, their conversation abruptly stopped, and they all busied themselves with their work.

But even from afar, their whispered conversations were heard verbatim by Mu Yunchu and her companion.

Li Shang stroked his chin, "Jing Anjun is truly ruthless, even to his own people."

Mu Yunchu made no comment.

If she remembered correctly, she had seen the person in the ward before.

On the day Jing Anjun brought the bank people to trouble her shop.

An unremarkable young man quietly stood there, sometimes casting a slightly disdainful look at his boss.

The reason Mu Yunchu looked at him twice was that when she glanced at his face, she discovered that his destiny should not have led him to his current circumstances.

After inquiring about Meng Qing’s ward number, Mu Yunchu pushed the door open and entered, seeing him wrapped in bandages, his face bruised and looking out the window lost in thought.

He seemed surprised that Mu Yunchu was the first to visit him, so when he turned his head, he was visibly stunned.

"Mu Yunchu?" Being by Jing Anjun’s side every day, it’s hard to forget this name.

What puzzled him was, "Why are you here to see me."

The two didn’t exactly have a vendetta, but were also clearly on opposing sides.

Without speaking, Mu Yunchu found a chair to sit on, but it was Li Shang who was impatient to speak:

"Are all these injuries caused by Jing Anjun?"

"I really don’t understand what’s good about following such a boss. Another ordeal like this and you might lose your life."

Meng Qing lowered his eyes.

This time, he had been beaten especially hard.

He didn’t know why, but it felt like his actions were completely out of control, leading him to do those ’disgusting’ things.

But he wasn’t naive enough to think these two were there out of concern for him.

So he only wanted to use a cold tone to drive them away.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Mu Yunchu spoke straightforwardly, "I’m not here out of concern for you."

"I just want to tell you what your life should have been like."

Meng Qing: ?

He didn’t understand what Mu Yunchu meant.

"You were born during the month of Wu, when the fire is at its peak; your chart reveals Jia Wood’s Qi Sha and Xin Metal’s Shang Guan. Qi Sha attacks the self; you come from a poor family, with your father passing away early, raised solely by your mother.

Shang Guan exposed, you are intelligent, your Wu Fire’s Seal Star worked well, ensuring smooth studies from a young age, and during college entrance exams, you performed excellently, getting into one of the top universities in the country."

"However." Mu Yunchu paused here, needing to give him time to ponder. "After college, you joined Jing Anjun’s company. And arrived at a major crossroads in your life."

Many face such a situation.

Usually, a simple choice can drastically change the course of one’s life.

Meng Qing was just such a person.

He opened his mouth, his heart a complex mix of emotions.

Surprised at how Mu Yunchu knew so much about his life, yet also doubtful.

He couldn’t help but wonder, if he hadn’t chosen to become Jing Anjun’s secretary, would his life have been completely different?

What would that life be like?

Seeing the time was right, Mu Yunchu continued, "After that, your luck ran with metal and water, Shishang gave birth to wealth, and though your living conditions improved, authorities attacked the self, and your health condition rapidly declined."

Without Mu Yunchu elaborating, everyone could understand the implication of her words.

After all, judging by Meng Qing staying in the hospital now, it already explained a lot.

"If this continues, you won’t live past the year after next."

Meng Qing: !

He suddenly looked up at the woman before him. In her eyes, there wasn’t a trace of threat or intimidation. Even as these words, akin to a death notice, left her mouth, there was no excessive emotion.

It was purely an announcement...

He had only two years left to live?

No one can remain calm knowing they are about to die soon. Especially not when Mu Yunchu’s account of his life’s details was so accurate.

"You..."

But upon learning this, he wasn’t overly saddened. Deep down, there was a faint sense of ’relief.’

Yet soon after, he grew a little worried.

Shaking his head, instinctively wanting to deny this conclusion.

"Impossible, you must be lying to me."

"You want to use me to do something against Jing Anjun?"

"I won’t do anything."

As Mu Yunchu said, Meng Qing was indeed very smart.

Even in such circumstances, he quickly guessed her intentions.

And made a choice.

Indeed, when faced with the known and the unknown, most will choose the former.

Mu Yunchu wasn’t in a hurry either.

"Do you want to hear the life you could have had?"

The life without choosing Jing Anjun.

Meng Qing hesitated.

Although he came from a poor background, he was very smart, and with every exam and every subject, his arrogance grew.

Even the daunting college entrance exams were just like regular mock tests to him.

Yet in fifteen years of hard schooling, only one thought never left his mind—after graduating and finding a job, he could finally support his mother, change everything.

As a high-achieving graduate of a prestigious university, he joined Jing Anjun’s company during his internship.

Initially, he worked hard as an ordinary employee.

Because he discovered that the real world wasn’t as he had imagined. Good grades didn’t explain everything and even brought workplace bullying.

Yes, workplace bullying.

By the age of 23, almost all his colleagues isolated him.

Not only that, even orders from the leadership were deliberately not communicated to him. Office deception and traps almost cost him his internship.

At this time, Jing Anjun appeared.

Offering a salary five times higher than his current pay, to have him serve as his secretary.
