Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 319 - 292

Li Shang never expected that under these circumstances, a customer would still come knocking.

Considering Mu Yunchu’s current situation, her first reaction was to send the person away and deal with it in a few days.

But after clearly hearing what the other person said, the words to dismiss them just wouldn’t come out.

Moreover, seeing his anxious appearance, it was clear he was looking for someone very important to him, and her heart couldn’t bear it.

Mu Yunchu elegantly spat out the half-chewed bun into a paper, then stood up and walked toward his direction.

Perhaps he was too focused elsewhere, the man didn’t realize that Mu Yunchu couldn’t see.

He just kept pleading with her over and over to help him.

"I’m your fan, I often watch your live streams, I know the rules here."

During live streams, only three people could have their fortune told at a time, but he remembered Mu Yunchu said if needed, they could come to the shop.

"It doesn’t matter how much it costs, as long as I can find it."

The "it" he spoke of was naturally the fur baby.

It was a cat he had raised for several years.

There were probably many people around him saying it was just a pet, and if it was lost, he could just buy another one, that it’s not worth getting so worked up or spending so much money.

But Li Dong did not see it that way.

It had accompanied him for four springs and summers, and its significance could not be replaced by anything else. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Mu Yunchu heard faint sobs and instructed Li Shang to brew a pot of tea.

Only when taking care of customers would she let Li Shang brew tea, knowing it meant Mu Yunchu had decided to take on the client’s request.

A pot of tea was brought to the table, but neither had the mind to drink.

Li Dong had explained the situation to Mu Yunchu once and had even brought the cat’s personal bell just in case.

Li Shang: "..."

"Why did you bring this, we don’t need to ’smell’ to find it."

Li Shang spoke straightforwardly.

She didn’t mean anything by it.

But Li Dong became embarrassed, quickly and nervously glancing at Mu Yunchu, afraid of being misunderstood.

"No, no, I didn’t mean that."

"I had just asked the stray cats under my building to help me find my cat and brought it over along the way."

Because he had seen online many people saying that after their cats ran away, they would ask the cats downstairs to help find them.

The cats all had a network.

And finding the right cat was important.

For example, if you asked a tabby cat, it might take it as a ’hit order’, bully your cat when it finds it, making it scared to run away again.

Otherwise, you could ask a calico, since calicos are considered beautiful with a wide network, knowing many cats.

Next, you could ask an orange tabby; it’s said they are also popular among cats.

He operated with a ’try anything’ mentality, finding the three types mentioned online, offering each a bowl of cat food and several cans, and promising future rewards if they helped find his cat.

But Li Dong didn’t want to miss any opportunity.

So after feeding the cats, he hurriedly took a cab to find Mu Yunchu.

Seeing how anxious he was, Mu Yunchu didn’t waste any time.

After calculating for a moment, her expression grew even more serious.

"You don’t need to search anymore."

Hearing her voice, Li Dong’s heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding welled up from within.

Sure enough, the next second Mu Yunchu said:

"Your cat is already dead."

Li Dong: !!!

"How, how could this be?"

He struggled to find his voice for a long time, utterly unable to accept this outcome.

"Master, could you check again, maybe there’s a mistake?"

"Oh right, I forgot to pay the divination fee."

Trembling, Li Dong took out his phone, trying to unlock it to pay Mu Yunchu, but couldn’t manage to do so.

"That’s not necessary."

Mu Yunchu stopped him.

She didn’t let him pay the fee.

Li Dong once again looked at Mu Yunchu’s face, hoping to hear that it wasn’t true or that she was tricking him.

But after a long wait, the latter had no intention of speaking.

He became completely hopeless.

"So my cat really is dead."

He didn’t know what he was thinking when he said that, whether it was sadness or a sliver of hope for a miracle.

His mind in chaos, as if it couldn’t function.

Soon, he thought of something else, "But, but it’s very timid, it wouldn’t cross the road, nor randomly eat anything outside, can you tell me how it died?"

Unknowingly, tears welled up in his eyes.

But knowing he was a grown man, with two women watching him, he forced them back. His eyes turned red from holding back.

Mu Yunchu imperceptibly sighed, yet remarkably said nothing.

Li Dong thought she hadn’t figured it out, so he changed the question.

"Was it in pain when it left?"

Mu Yunchu: "..."

...

Watching his particularly desolate figure, Li Shang felt even more sympathetic. What she couldn’t understand was why Mu Yunchu agreed to the fortune-telling yet didn’t charge him, nor disclose much information.

Later, the questions Li Dong asked, Mu Yunchu didn’t give answers.

It was as if she foresaw it all, for she never asked for the divination fee from the start.

This inevitably worried Li Shang.

"Boss..."

"It’s true." Mu Yunchu responded before Li Shang could ask.

Li Shang frowned, "So those follow-up questions he asked, you couldn’t foresee?"

She feared Mu Yunchu’s temporary blindness might affect her fortune-telling abilities.

Then that Li Yunhe was truly despicable!

"It’s not as you think."

Mu Yunchu’s voice held a calming strength.

"Being blind is indeed inconvenient, but it doesn’t hinder fortune-telling."

Li Shang relaxed.

She wanted to say, in many dramas, fortune-tellers are often blind.

"I didn’t tell him because it was unnecessary."

Letting him know his cat was gone was to stop him from continuing the search.

Of course, what Mu Yunchu said was indeed the truth.

But the reason she didn’t answer the last two questions was...

"Was the cat’s death horrendous?" Li Shang gasped, voicing her suspicion.

Mu Yunchu nodded.

After all, it was a cat he had raised for years, she felt it would be cruel to tell him, so she simply didn’t answer.

But there were things she learned that couldn’t be ignored.
