Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 279 - 252: She Never Even Lived to Twenty

The idea about past lives is just too far-fetched.

Many people say there is reincarnation, but no one can really give a definite answer.

Just like how until they see a real ghost today, they can’t be sure that ghosts exist in this world.

But now, hearing Mu Yunchu’s words, although everyone felt it was outrageous, they also felt as if it was something they could accept.

After all, something very far-fetched was playing out right in front of their eyes.

"Past life?"

The person who found it hardest to accept was Jiang Ci himself.

Mu Yunchu nodded.

"Do you remember the script for the variety show you were filming?"

On the first day Mu Yunchu came here, she heard Jiang Ci mention it.

Although Jiang Ci didn’t expect her to suddenly bring up this topic, he hesitated for a few seconds but then nodded.

"I remember."

"What if I told you that you are the prototype of the male lead in the story?"

Everyone: !!!

What Mu Yunchu was saying now was like a bomb suddenly dropping from the sky, hitting them on the head.

How could a fictional story have a real-life prototype?

Everyone thought of something and simultaneously shifted their gaze to the director.

Seeing the director’s evasive glances and obvious guilty look, they knew he was hiding something.

Qin Long was exasperated with his old friend, "Big brother, what else are you hiding from us?"

"Do you really have to get us all killed first?"

The director opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to refute the accusation, but he realized it was indeed his fault from the start, so he sighed first.

"No, I really didn’t know about this matter."

He said, "It was when I was collecting scripts that someone sent this script to my email."

At the time, he didn’t think much of it, assuming the person had accidentally sent it to his personal email instead of the public email for the crew.

That day, he happened to have nothing to do and had not yet found a script he liked, so he clicked to take a look.

What he didn’t expect was that it was his ’dream script.’

It fit perfectly with all his imaginations about this small town—Republican era, tragic. Everything was so perfect, even the added horror elements were just right.

So when he finished reading the entire script, he decided to go for it.

But when he tried to contact the sender through the email, he just couldn’t get in touch.

The director said, "I swear, I really used every possible means."

During this time, others also advised him that if he really couldn’t get in touch with the person, he should choose another script.

"But I just couldn’t reconcile with that."

He believed that as long as the script was shot and released, it would surely cause a sensation online.

"By the time it came to shooting, we still hadn’t contacted the person. We could only choose to start using it first."

If anyone came to him later, he absolutely wouldn’t deny it.

Qin Long was very helpless, "Old buddy, you’re really not afraid of getting sued for infringement and plagiarism, huh."

The director still wanted to defend himself, "I would really offer him a very generous reward."

But now, the matter involved wasn’t that simple anymore.

Mu Yunchu said, "Don’t worry, no one will sue you for infringement."

"Because it was he who gave you the script."

Everyone looked at Xue Xing, sitting on the ground with his chest covered, and didn’t know what to say.

He plotted all these affairs, handed them the script, had to take care of Jiang Ci’s daily life, and finally had to care for him into the grave.

Mu Yunchu looked at him with an expression colder than death, "Care to explain?"

Seeing him turn his head away, Mu Yunchu wasn’t annoyed, as though she had already guessed it.

Speaking to herself, "Jiang Ci’s past life was the warlord man in the script, and this female ghost was the heroine who waited till the end but never saw him return."

She paused, her gaze once again falling on Xue Xing, "And you are the descendant of that warlord man."

The few words from Mu Yunchu seemed to overload everyone’s CPU.

"Does that mean, rounding it up, Jiang Ci is Xue Xing’s ancestor?"

Xue Xing: "..."

Someone inexplicably said such a thing, causing Xue Xing to glare angrily in that direction.

"Theoretically, yes," Mu Yunchu explained, "but actually, reincarnation means becoming a completely new person, so this doesn’t hold."

She deliberately said this for Nan Zhi to hear.

Reincarnation means he is no longer the person he once was. Besides possibly having a similar appearance, his personality and experiences are entirely unrelated to before.

"No, he is Ah Shen," Nan Zhi remained as persistent as ever.

"I believe him to be, so he is."

Jiang Ci had complete trust in Mu Yunchu.

Upon hearing that his past life was related to this female ghost, he knew there must be a connection.

After calming his shocked emotions, he also tried to persuade, "Is it because you couldn’t wait for him back then, so you remain here, unwilling to reincarnate?"

"I think that it has been so many years, and you should let go."

"After all, he was already dead at that time."

"No!" Nan Zhi shook her head, "That’s not it at all."

"It wasn’t at all as you know it."

She wept softly, "We were torn apart alive."

"We should have reached a happy ending."

Nan Zhi’s words prompted everyone to recall, "According to the script, didn’t you separate shortly after falling in love, and the man went to war and never came back?"

"No."

Unexpectedly, the one speaking was Xue Xing.

Because he had been unwilling to speak up before, his sudden outburst startled everyone.

Xue Xing looked up at Nan Zhi, "She didn’t even live past the age of twenty back then."

"She jumped from a tall building to her death."

Everyone: !

He knew about these things because when his father passed away, he handed him a very worn and ancient-looking book, and he read its contents.

It thoroughly documented everything.

When he saw an old-fashioned black-and-white photo fall out of it, he hopelessly fell in love with the woman he had only just glimpsed.

"I read through all its contents and found that at the time, the two were in love but faced familial obstruction. Although they had the determination to stick it out to the end, things went awry, and they missed their chance."

The protagonist of the story was Chen Shen, a warlord.

His family, when he was very young, chose a rich young lady as a betrothed for him.

If he had not met Nan Zhi, marrying her would have been just that—life goes on, it doesn’t matter who it’s with.

But one day, after seeing Nan Zhi singing opera in the theater, for the first time, he had the idea of spending his life with someone.

So he immediately went home to annul the original engagement.
