Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 153 - 126: The Arsonist Nanny

Mu Yunchu, who was used to seeing floods of comments from netizens, was momentarily stunned when she saw the rare ’quietness’ on her screen.

Then, upon glancing at the username of the second lucky viewer, she had a realization.

However, not everyone had heard of this person’s ID, so their reactions seemed quite strange.

[What’s up with you guys? Why aren’t you spamming like usual, aren’t we supposed to congratulate this unlucky guy?]

[Yeah, I find it strange too. Could it be that they’re still stuck in the last lucky viewer’s moment?]

[Shh... you guys, stop talking.]

[Don’t you know who this person is?]

After realizing that not everyone knew this lucky viewer, the bystanding netizens in the livestream room began educating them.

"Farewell to the Wife and Children" is a middle-aged man who suddenly became famous online recently.

Although using the word ’famous’ might sound inappropriate, he did indeed come into the spotlight.

Of course, if possible, nobody would want to gain fame in such a manner.

[His wife and children all perished in a fire a few days ago.]

[I know him! I saw his Weibo a couple of days ago. It seemed really intense, and it even trended because of the incident. You guys have no idea, the long, heartfelt post he wrote made me cry.]

[Oh, I’m sorry, I really didn’t know! I take back what I said earlier.]

Actually, accidents happen every year, but what happened to this man was especially heartbreaking.

A wife and a child not even five years old, both died at the hands of the family’s nanny.

[What’s going on? Premeditated murder???]

[Isn’t that nanny just too ruthless?]

[Why did she have to kill those two?]

[I heard it was for money...]

[Oh my God, how heartbroken must this man be? Losing the two most important people in one day, if it were me, I wouldn’t even have the courage to live on.]

[But there’s no choice, right? I heard he has another child... he has to keep going.]

[I’m more curious about why he came to the livestream at this time, wanting to figure something out.]

...

After the comments had basically recounted his story, the lucky viewer finally made his late entrance.

[Sorry, streamer, I just went to check if there was still money in my payroll account.]

He politely explained why he took so long to appear, leaving nothing for others to criticize.

Mu Yunchu didn’t dwell on it, just routinely asking, "Can you connect to the call?"

"If it’s inconvenient, sending a photo for a reading is also fine."

The person quickly replied:

[I can connect to the call.]

He immediately sent a request to Mu Yunchu.

Once she agreed, a face appeared on the screen that wasn’t particularly handsome but could definitely be described as rugged.

The man was about thirty years old, with well-defined features, but his face looked fatigued, dark circles under his eyes indicating he hadn’t rested well in days.

Although not considered handsome, he still had an above-average appearance. Now, he looked quite worn out.

As soon as he appeared on the screen, he found the camera’s position easily, unlike other participants who felt awkward. He seemed accustomed to being in the spotlight.

"Hello... hello everyone."

His voice, hoarse from prolonged crying, made it difficult to speak a complete sentence at first.

After several tries, he finally introduced himself to everyone.

"My name is Song Hongyi."

Even with just a simple introduction, he struggled to hold back his tears.

"It seems many people here know me. First, I must thank you all for your attention, and many for your encouragement and comfort... Really, thank you, thank you."

Seeing him like this, everyone started to console him empathetically.

[Don’t cry, I believe your wife and children seeing you like this would also feel upset.]

[Yes, the deceased are gone, and the living must continue to live. Besides, you have a child to take care of, you can’t just give up.]

[Are you trying to see if they’re doing well up there? Then you’ve found the right streamer; she’s really accurate with her readings!]

...

Song Hongyi thanked everyone for their comfort but didn’t immediately say what he wanted from the livestream, instead, he started replying to a few questions about the fire’s details.

"In fact, it’s no secret, I can only blame myself."

"I blame myself for not recognizing her, bringing that nanny from my hometown."

"If it weren’t for a younger son to take care of, I would’ve surely gone to accompany them both without any hesitation."

Even though he had said a lot online and the police had reported the incident, without firsthand details from the person involved, everyone forgot to urge him to get a reading.

[So is it really like what was reported online, that your house’s nanny set the fire?]

Song Hongyi nodded painfully.

Seemingly unwilling to face this, he didn’t even open his eyes.

After his wife gave birth to their second child, due to being busy with work and having a mischievous first child to care for, they decided to hire a nanny who could also act as a postpartum caregiver.

Though she acted as a caregiver, they didn’t give her a penny less.

Thirty thousand yuan a month.

Even in the country’s highest-cost cities, it’s not a small amount.

[Indeed, that’s not a small amount...]

Furthermore, their home was just a detached villa with six rooms. Most of the time she’d clean, help his wife with the kids, and do some cooking.

"She ate with us regularly, and we even arranged a room for her at our home."

Song Hongyi elaborated, wanting everyone to know he hadn’t mistreated her in any way.

"But I really didn’t expect someone could be this malicious." Song Hongyi’s expression changed, mixing regret with resentment.

The nanny had worked there for a year.

There was nothing to criticize work-wise, and there had been no cause for concern in her usual demeanor. Gradually, they became less guarded against her.

[From my experience, this is where things start to go wrong.]

Song Hongyi sighed deeply, "It was likely due to greed; at first, I only noticed her stealing."

If he had known the subsequent events would happen, he would’ve dismissed her immediately after the first sign.

"My wife had some jewelry, gifts I’ve given her over the years of our marriage. Thinking there was no outsider at home, we left them carelessly on the table. Then we found them mysteriously missing."

[Was it the nanny who stole them?]
