Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 69 - 42: Since They Covet What’s Hers, They Must Pay the Price

Chapter 69: Chapter 42: Since They Covet What’s Hers, They Must Pay the Price

According to normal expectations, at this moment, the mother would definitely start to suppress her child’s dreams, using the phrase: I’m doing this for your own good, to make him obey.

So, in the speculations of netizens, Mother Nie’s reaction was expected to be exactly this.

But to everyone’s surprise, she merely let out a heavy sigh and didn’t shout loudly.

Calmer than anyone had imagined.

This included Nie Chengyu.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Mother Nie’s eyes were full of sadness.

Probably because of the recent events, the thoughts she had held onto firmly started to waver.

Nie Chengyu bit his lip.

"Because you never gave him the chance." Mu Yunchu chimed in.

"He always thought that was the path you wanted him to take."

"Of course, he was also afraid of making the wrong choice and not willing to pay the cost of failure."

In fact, there isn’t just one Nie Chengyu in this world.

Most people are probably like this.

They want to choose what they like, but are afraid of choosing wrong. From then on, they live cautiously, merely ’getting by’."

Seeing Nie Chengyu seemingly pondering his own thoughts.

Mu Yunchu brought up the question he mentioned at the beginning of the live connection.

"Earlier you asked me about the future of your career?"

"Then I’ll tell you, you will have a life smoother than most people."

Parental arrangements may be extreme, but mostly correct.

Although the job seemed mundane to Nie Chengyu, it was stable with good pay and benefits, so a few years after he graduated, he successfully bought a house, then married and had children.

[Actually, thinking about it this way, listening to his mother isn’t bad, at least there’s no cost of trial and error. Being a journalist... to put it simply, it’s a job through wind and rain, and there’s also the possibility of encountering danger.] 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

[But that’s a dream! Not everyone can turn their dreams into their job! Besides, if he doesn’t try, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life.]

Clearly, just now they were talking about the issue with garbage cotton, but at some point, the focus of the livestream room shifted to Nie Chengyu’s choice for the future.

Everyone had their own opinion, and there was all sorts of talk.

Of course, no matter which choice they made, they all had their legitimate reasons.

But ultimately, the decision lay solely in Nie Chengyu’s hands.

[I have an idea, since you’re so conflicted, why not ask the host what your future would be like if you chose your dream?]

[Yeah, how did I forget about this? We have a ’big cheat code’ here.]

However, Mu Yunchu, who had previously energetically revealed the results of the fortune prediction, now lowered his head.

He looked down, sipping his tea, not looking at the screen.

Nor speaking.

Nie Chengyu was similar.

He didn’t heed the suggestions of these netizens.

Instead, he bowed his head, contemplating alone.

After a few minutes, he let out a long breath and finally made a decision.

He looked at the host, but it wasn’t to ask about his future.

"Host, could you tell me the address of that factory?"

His choice was already very clear.

Mu Yunchu’s face, usually without much expression, deepened into a smile.

Like snow melting in spring, many were left in a daze.

She lightly acknowledged with a ’hmm’.

Then parted her lips, clearly enunciating each word: "It’s a garment factory under the Ruijing Group."

As it happened, the factory was less than twenty kilometers from Nie Chengyu.

It takes just over half an hour by car to reach.

[Ruijing? Wait, this Ruijing isn’t that Ruijing, is it?]

"Yes, it’s that Ruijing."

Mu Yunchu’s eyes appeared to flicker with a hint of teasing.

It seemed as if it was the first time she unveiled the truth to netizens so openly before things had concluded.

It was, of course, intentional.

Ruijing Real Estate was just Jing Anjun’s way of building his fortune, not his only industry.

The wealthy won’t give up any opportunity to make money.

So after Jing Anjun ensured a foothold in real estate, he quickly ventured into other industries.

Of course, that fashion brand is just one of his subsidiaries.

But Mu Yunchu knew that this was enough to shake Jing Anjun’s stocks.

Thinking about this, her expression became sharp.

She wouldn’t just keep getting bullied without fighting back.

Since they’re eyeing her things, they’ll have to pay for it.

Especially because it’s something left to her by her mentor.

Over these days, Mu Yunchu had mostly guessed what the other party was interested in should be the item locked in the safe.

Although she didn’t know what it was, Mu Yunchu had a vague sense that she seemed to be in the midst of a huge conspiracy.

Some netizens noticed that the aura around Mu Yunchu seemed to chill all of a sudden.

[Is it just my illusion? I somehow felt the host just now seemed a bit scary.]

[Scary? How did you see that? Nothing changed, she’s just as pretty.]

[...]

As Nie Chengyu went back to his room to prepare his things, Mother Nie, who hadn’t spoken, stepped forward.

"Young lady..."

"I just want to ask, is it feasible for my son to pursue a career in journalism?"

Even though she had decided not to interfere in Nie Chengyu’s life anymore.

However, a parent’s concern is profound.

They can’t bear to watch their child jump into a pit of fire.

Especially because Mu Yunchu hadn’t answered this question from the netizens, making her heart dangle in mid-air, unable to settle.

[Auntie, give it up, if the host wanted to say she would’ve said so already.]

[Yes, we just need to trust our own child.]

However, just as the netizens assumed Mu Yunchu wouldn’t speak, she suddenly gave a certain answer.

"Rest assured, he will become an excellent journalist."

Mu Yunchu saw that the moment Nie Chengyu chose to change, he had already set foot on the right track of his life.

And his original future changed as well.

Upon hearing this, Mother Nie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted her chest, then turned and showed a smile of relief.

[Ah? That good?]

[No, host, if his chosen path is good for the future, why didn’t you say so earlier?]

Mu Yunchu’s slim eyebrows raised slightly, her expression remaining calm as still water. Her words, crisp and carried a slight chill, unexpectedly stirred a sense of respect.

"It’s simple, he needed to take that step himself."

"If he chose this path merely because I told him it would be better than the previous one, then when the various difficulties arrive in the future, he will still be easily defeated."

[I get it! What the host sought was his courage and determination! After all, things obtained without effort can be easily lost.]

...

When Jing Anjun heard about the issue with his subsidiary, he saw that the news of his factory using inferior cotton to make clothes was spreading everywhere online.

He restrained his anger and ordered, "Get me in touch with the factory manager, and give them just an hour to clean up the ’dirty things’ before authorities arrive!"

Then he looked at his secretary, "Contact the journalists we’re on good terms with, and tell them I’ll personally take them to inspect the factory."

"We must control public opinion and stabilize our stock market!"
