Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 392 - 375

After Mu Yunchu showcased a bit of her skills at the dining table, she received a ’work notification’ from the old butler after dinner.

She was allowed to rest well and could call on the old butler to start dealing with the villa’s Feng Shui issues at an appropriate time.

Just like she mentioned in the morning about the bedroom issue, many things needed adjustments.

The old butler expressed that as long as Mu Yunchu pointed it out, he would call most of the villa’s servants to cooperate.

However, just after returning to her room, she didn’t expect Pei Jingxiao to come looking for her.

He opened with probing her relationship with Wen Xu.

"No comment."

If she remembers correctly, she doesn’t know this person at all.

She glanced at his face, and with a barely noticeable nod, confirmed he indeed had that kind of familiarity.

"Tsk."

Pei Jingxiao was a bit disappointed, "You have quite a vigilant nature, girl. I can’t harm you."

"Perhaps after I tell you what I want from you, we might end up with a win-win result. By then, you might even thank me!"

However, Mu Yunchu had already seen through him.

Not bothered to play riddles with him, she directly said, "No, I won’t."

"What?"

"What you’re asking of me is impossible to accomplish on my end."

Pei Jingxiao: !

"You know...?"

He hadn’t finished speaking when Mu Yunchu interrupted him.

"You want me to help you kill Wen Xu."

When Hong Jingxue died, Mu Yunchu had already basically guessed why she saw two groups of ghosts in the hotel back then.

So she naturally knew Pei Jingxiao wanted to kill Wen Xu.

Now coming to her, it was probably because he wanted to ’take the old path,’ just like when he sought out Li Yunhe in the past.

Such a person... indeed never has his mind in a rightful place.

Always taking crooked paths.

Mu Yunchu suddenly felt a bit concerned whether Elder Wei and the others could make Pei Jingxiao cooperate honestly.

While she was distracted thinking about this, Pei Jingxiao was already completely immersed in shock.

He clearly said nothing, so how did Mu Yunchu guess it so accurately?

Could it be that his intention to kill Wen Xu was already written on his face?

Pei Jingxiao instinctively touched his face.

Suddenly realizing he was getting sidetracked, he quickly shook his head and began to boldly inquire, "Since you already guessed, would you be willing?"

"If we make a deal, I’ll give you... two million."

Pei Jingxiao specifically extended his fingers to emphasize again.

"This is definitely not a small amount."

Even in today’s era of soaring prices, two million is enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.

And someone like Mu Yunchu, who goes around ’door-to-door’ looking for work, Pei Jingxiao believes she certainly doesn’t have as much money as Li Yunhe.

After all, if one were a true master, how could they be out in the open instead of living in seclusion?

In a short time, he had already formed an impression in his mind that Mu Yunchu must be one of those novice Daoists not very reputable and, due to youth, seemingly unreliable, not getting much work.

Thinking of this, Pei Jingxiao couldn’t help but stick his neck out.

So to speak, was he among the few who could ’discern gold’?

His inner play was really too dramatic, and Mu Yunchu couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly, "Two million?"

"Are you sure you can still come up with that now?"

Pei Jingxiao’s expression froze, and a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

How did she know about this?

He hadn’t told anyone about his financial troubles,

Before Wen Xu contested with him over the company, there was already a minor issue with the accounts. However, kind of unskilled in management, he would only reprimand those around when faced with problems, without any good solutions. As a result, just then Wen Xu came to dispute the company’s management rights with him.

Since Wen Xu entered the company, the situation had become even more serious.

With no source of income, the company not under his control, his father half-dead, and no one able to give him money. Plus, in the past, he spent money without thinking to save, basically spending as much as he got, and the five million given to Li Yunhe couldn’t be retrieved. This series of events had emptied all his past allowances, and even temporarily, he couldn’t repay the company’s public funds he owed.

That’s why he was so eager to dispose of Wen Xu.

The fact that he said nothing now, yet was again seen through by Mu Yunchu?

Could this woman be this miraculous?

Feigning composure, Pei Jingxiao swallowed a gulp, quickly adjusted his expression, and didn’t intend to admit the financial trouble.

"What are you talking about?"

With a doubtful yet angry look on his face.

Seeing him with hands tucked into his pockets and chin raised, Mu Yunchu knew he was merely putting on a front.

But internally, he was already panicking.

The next words from Mu Yunchu sounded like a death sentence to him.

"I advise you to repay the money quickly, or you’ll be facing jail time soon."

Pei Jingxiao: "..."

...

A person like Pei Jingxiao isn’t worth Mu Yunchu’s time.

She needed to use the coming days, during the villa’s inspection, to find what King Yan asked her to find.

Thus, to others, she seemed very serious about her work.

After dismissing Pei Jingxiao, Mu Yunchu proactively sought out the old butler.

But because there were too many villas, even after spending a whole afternoon, she barely covered a quarter.

"Don’t place vases of this material here; Chinese scholar tree wood is too heavy in yin energy and can easily attract negative stuff."

When dealing with these people, Mu Yunchu’s words were much more tactful than in the morning.

Since she had already demonstrated her abilities, frankly, she just needed to tell them what to do. More words wouldn’t add any effect.

But among those present, a few were the ones serving by during breakfast. It’s likely that in half a day, her actions had already spread in their circle.

So there was no need for much explanation from Mu Yunchu; whenever she said something needed to be moved, they promptly did so.

Later on, even if Mu Yunchu just stared at a place for more than a few seconds, someone would step forward to move the item.

Moreover, after a busy afternoon, despite it being more load than their usual work, everyone seemed not that tired and rather enthusiastic.

"Don’t place... in the southeast corner..."

A young servant scribbled down Mu Yunchu’s words in a small notebook and quickly shoved it into her pocket, afraid someone might notice.

But as she looked up, she coincidentally met Mu Yunchu’s gaze.

She immediately grew embarrassed.

Not only because she was ’secretly learning’ but also because Mu Yunchu looked too attractive, making her shy under such a gaze.
