C451 Fortune-teller
"Mom knows you like Tian, but Tian's mind isn't on you at all." Having said so, Mrs Liu tyrannically pulled her daughter's arm and left the room. "Let's go, mother will take you on a blind date."
"Mom, I'm not going …" Liu Yueyao had no way to resist and was dragged out by her mother.
It wasn't until the mother and daughter went downstairs that Wu Tian came out of the wardrobe, tidied up his clothes, and hurried downstairs.
When he went downstairs, he saw only Liu Jun in the living room. Liu Yueyao must have been forced by her mother to go on a blind date.
"Tian, how were you last night?" Liu Jun stood up and said with concern.
"I drank too much last night. My head hurts a little." Wu Tian rubbed his temples and pretended to be in pain.
"Come and sit down. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some sobering soup." After Liu Jun said this, he prepared to instruct the kitchen.
"No need to trouble you." Wu Tian waved his hand and hastily stopped Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, I don't want to drink the sobering soup. It's getting late, I'm going to school first."
After bidding farewell to Liu Jun, he turned around and left the villa and took a taxi to school.
As he passed the north gate of the school, he was attracted by a fortune-teller on the roadside.
The fortune-teller was in his sixties. He wore plain glasses, and his forehead was round and shiny. He looked like a sage.
He had never seen this fortune-teller before. It was the first time he saw him, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
While he was observing the fortune-teller, the old man suddenly looked up at him. "Young man, I see that you have a handsome face and a surprising skeleton. You have the talent to be a general."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian pursed his lips and smiled. He was already used to these kinds of lies.
Many fortune-tellers have a fixed way of lying to money.
Although Wu Tian didn't like this sort of thing, he still couldn't help but ask: "Old sir, why don't you help me calculate my marriage fate?"
"Come, let me see." The old man grabbed Wu Tian's arm to take a look and sighed with his eyes squinted, "Oh, no, no!"
"What's bad?"
"A woman's life is in danger!"
"Nonsense." Hearing this, Wu Tian glared at the old man in annoyance, then turned around and was about to leave.
He had only taken two steps when the old man called out to him, "Young man, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"Anything else?" Wu Tian stopped and turned his head to look at the fortune-teller with a puzzled expression.
The old man shook his sleeves and reminded him with a smile, "I've helped you calculate your marriage fate, but you haven't paid me yet!"
"How much is it?"
"This price." The old man held out three fingers.
"Three dollars?"
"That's not right."
"Thirty dollars?"
"That's not right."
"It can't be three hundred, can it?"
"No." The old man shook his head and calmly said, "I will start the fortune telling for someone. The starting price is thirty thousand."
"What?" Thirty thousand? " The moment he heard about the price, Wu Tian was immediately angered.
The other fortune-tellers cheated only a few hundred dollars at most. The old man in front of him was simply too greedy, opening his mouth and asking for 30,000 yuan.
The key point was that this old man had not calculated anything. He had only said 'the beautiful girl's life is short', yet these words were worth thirty thousand yuan?
"Yes, thirty thousand." The old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
"Old mister, cheating money like this is not kind at all." Wu Tian simply walked in front of the fortune-teller, "This is called greed, it's a bit too much."
"Since little brother has the ability to become a general, I'll give you a discount." The fortune-teller smiled and stretched out three more fingers, "Just give me three thousand."
"This amount of money is nothing to me, but I don't want to be a fool." Wu Tian thought for a moment, then took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it over. "It's getting cold. Take this little money to buy a set of clothes!"
"You are truly worthy of your talent as a general. You will definitely have great achievements in the future." The fortune-teller complimented him and quickly reached out with both hands to take the two hundred dollars.
Right at that moment, a girl wearing a school dress hastily ran over to the fortune-teller. She scolded him, "Hey, why did you come out here again to swindle money?"
The girl in the school dress just stared at the fortune-teller like that. She loved and hated the old teacher, so her expression was extremely complicated.
From the school dress the girl wore, it could be seen that she was a student of No. 4 High School. Her appearance was pretty and delicate, and her skin was fair and translucent. Just a glance at her would cause one's heart to palpitate.
"Cough, cough!"
The fortune-teller coughed twice. He explained in a low voice, like a child who had done something wrong, "I didn't lie."
"If you're not lying, then where did you get the money from?" The beauty in the school dress questioned in an aggressive tone.
The fortune-teller clenched the two hundred yuan tightly and explained with a dry smile, "I earned it from my fortune telling for this little brother here."
"Destiny telling? "Do you know how to tell a fortune?"
"Of course I will, but …"
"Alright." The beauty in the school dress impatiently interrupted the old man. She extended her small hand and demanded, "Hand over the money you have scammed."
"This …"
"Give it to me." The pretty girl forcibly took the 200 yuan from the old man's hands. She glared at him and handed the 200 yuan back to Wu Tian, "Sorry, I'll return this money to you."
"…"
Wu Tian didn't respond. He just stared at the girl's eyes dumbly, like a silly melon.
The only thing to blame was that the girl's eyes were too good-looking. Her beautiful eyes were as dazzling as pearls, clean and clear, sparkling with a charming light.
The girl in the school dress was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She scolded him softly, "Hey, have you seen enough?"
"Enough... That's enough. " Only then did Wu Tian come back to his senses, and he scratched his head awkwardly, "I almost passed out because of you."
These unintentional words caused the girl's face to redden.
The girl bit her lips and passed another 200 yuan over, "This is your money, hurry up and accept it."
"I gave it to the old gentleman." Wu Tian didn't take the money, he smiled and said, "Old man, help me tell my fortune, I should pay you."
"He doesn't know how to tell a fortune. He's just a liar."
"How do you know he's a liar?"
"He's my grandfather, and he often relies on this to cheat money." The girl bit her lips in embarrassment.
"He's your grandfather?"
"En!"
"Hehe, I really didn't notice that he's your grandfather." Wu Tian grinned and tried asking, "Are you a student of No. 4 High School?"
"En!"
"Hello, my name is Wu Tian. I'm at the Polytechnic University next door." Wu Tian introduced himself to the girl.
Every time he met such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, he couldn't help but want to get close to her. Perhaps this was an instinctive reaction.
"Hello, my name is Lu Xiaomei. I'm a student from the third class of the second grade at Luzhou Fourth High School." The young beauty introduced herself and passed another 200 yuan over, "I'll return this money to you, and also apologize on behalf of my grandpa."
"Your grandfather is helping me tell fortunes. This is my reward for him."
"But he did it to cheat you of your money."
"I know."
"You know he lied to you, but you're still willing to be cheated by him?"
