Chapter Fourteen The Mysterious Old Man of Fortune Telling
In the early morning of China, everything seemed particularly peaceful. Birds were chirping and saying good morning to the passing pedestrians. The sprinkler trucks on the street were playing happy birthday songs to wake up one sleeping person after another. The early morning by the road had already begun to smell. Everything was proving that a new day had begun.
Qin Mengxue is now sitting on the wide bed with messy hair, looking confused and incredible. She slept the most comfortable sleep in such a long time. She actually slept in such a strange environment. And she seemed to have had a long dream.
In the dream, she dreamed that she seemed to be chasing someone, and then she ran away wildly. Just when she was about to be caught by the other party, she was suddenly hugged by a golden person. The hug was very warm and gave people a feeling of being very happy and down-to-earth.
The shining golden man was like a god descending to earth, killing all the people who wanted to capture him. But before Qin Mengxue could thank him like that person, the little golden man disappeared.
Suddenly the scene of the dream changed, and Qin Mengxue saw the so-called fiancé she drew during the day. In Qin Mengxue's dream, her cheap fiancé was ugly and even more ugly. The most annoying thing is that in the dream, her ugly fiancé actually held a little loli with a pair of ponytails and kissed her, and asked her with a lewd look, "Xiao Xuexue, do you think I'm handsome?"
Just as Qin Mengxue was about to get angry, the person who had been shining with golden light appeared again and punched his cheap fiancé away.
Then... Qin Mengxue woke up from her dream.
What kind of dream is this? I scratched my messy hair and tried my best to make my head swelling because I slept more. I took out the cell phone at the head of the bed and glanced at it quickly. Qin Mengxue screamed in surprise. The time showed that it was already 7:30 in the morning the next day, and I almost slept for seventeen hours!
I slept at the cheap fiancé's home for so long and had a strange dream. I looked at my phone carefully and saw a number that had been noted as a bastard. A few hours ago, I sent a text message, "Xiao Xuexue, don't miss me, I'm about to go back!"
"Bastard, who would miss you?" Qin Mengxue threw her phone aside and did not want to reply to the text message. After all, in the dream she had just had, he was holding a little loli and kissing her. He rubbed his temples to make him feel more energetic. Qin Mengxue got out of bed and started washing.
When he arrived at the bathroom, Qin Mengxue realized that she didn’t have any cosmetics at all! After her father locked herself outside the door, she seemed to have nothing to worry about!
Because I haven't lived in this fiancé's home for many years, there is nothing inside, I don't have clothes, toiletries, and I'm even wearing yesterday's work clothes now!
If she appears in front of the company’s employees in this image, the image of the iceberg female president she has tried her best to maintain will definitely be killed!
Looking at herself in the messy mirror, Qin Mengxue sighed slightly. It seemed that she needed to take another leave today. It was time to buy some basic daily necessities for herself.
He walked out of the bathroom in annoyance. Qin Mengxue grabbed his cell phone and called his secretary Yu Xiaoxiao directly. The phone was answered in a short while.
"Hey, is it Mr. Qin?" A cautious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Well, it's me, it's Xiaoxiao. I need to buy some things today and may not go to work. Please help me pay attention to it. If you have any questions, please discuss with Mr. Gan and Mr. Su."
"Yeah, I understand. Mr. Qin, please do it first!" Yu Xiaoxiao said respectfully on the other end of the phone, but she was also very confused.
At least after she became secretary, it seems that Qin Mengxue has never asked for leave, almost without any storm and rain. She will appear in front of the employees on time no matter which day. However, in the past two days, Qin Mengxue has asked for leave one after another. What happened?
Yu Xiaoxiao had a big doubt in her little head, but this doubt could only run freely in her own heart. Of course, she couldn't ask Mr. Qin why you didn't come to work for two days. Even if you gave her 100 courage, she wouldn't dare to ask.
Qin Mengxue did not continue to rest on the bed, but just washed her face with clean water, tidied up her hair with her hands, and made her image better as much as possible. Then she brought a black mask that she always had in her bag and went out.
Qin Mengxue was also feeling upset when driving his own Volkswagen Phaeon on the road. The old man in the family was really too cruel to him. Is he his own father? He sighed helplessly and continued to drive towards Taiyuan Street, the commercial street in Beiyang City.
Taiyuan Street is the most famous commercial street in Beiyang City. It is located in many large shopping malls and luxury stores, which can be said to be a shopping paradise for the people of Beiyang City. The precious cosmetics that Qin Mengxue usually uses and international brand clothing that he often wears can be found there.
But... it is precisely because of the prosperity and reputation of Taiyuan Street that Qin Mengxue was in a traffic jam! Just when he was about to arrive in Taiyuan Street, Qin Mengxue was blocked by a sea of cars. He whistled and scolded. At this moment, the street became lively due to traffic jams, but the car did not move at all!
The living standards of Chinese people have improved greatly in recent years. Many people have bought cars for transportation for convenience, but it has also become another social phenomenon. The number of car accidents and traffic jams increases. I don’t know if this is convenient or even more troublesome.
If it were in the past, Qin Mengxue would have been very anxious, but today she had asked for leave, so she was not so anxious. Instead, she turned on the music in the car and listened to it. What slowly flowed out of the sound was a very gentle pure piano piece.
The player of the piano music is Wes Riley (I don’t know if you still remember that our slutty Wes is also a genius pianist, and you can watch Chapter 5.), Qin Mengxue’s feeling about Wes Riley is OK, because his piano music is really nice, which can relieve people’s fatigue and is also very suitable for high-pressure people like Qin Mengxue to decompress.
Listening to the piano music, Qin Mengxue's heart slowly calmed down and began to enjoy this rare peaceful morning. At this time, Qin Mengxue had already stayed in the office with a tense face to work.
Occasionally, it might be very good to give yourself two days of hypothesis, but this idea suddenly popped up in Qin Mengxue's mind.
But a sudden sound of knocking on the glass came, which also pulled Qin Mengxue out of her thoughts. The car was still blocking. An old man was gently tapping Qin Mengxue's car glass with his hands.
The old man didn't have much flesh all over, he was thin but didn't look very haggard. He had deep wrinkles on his neck, a long white beard, a weathered face, and a big black sunglasses that made people unable to see the old man's eyes.
The hands that knocked on the car window were rough like old pine bark, and the five fingers were covered with thick calluses.
Looking at the old man's appearance, Qin Mengxue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and naturally thought in his heart, what is this for? He was trying to mess with the car? But out of politeness, Qin Mengxue lowered the car window and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to do?"
The old man was very happy to see Qin Mengxue dropping down the car window and smiled. Although he was old, his teeth were not yellow or white. His hands that were originally knocking on the car window also had a beard. "Hahaha, little girl, I see you and me are destined to be together today, so I want to make a fortune for you!"
Qin Mengxue frowned slightly, and her face became solemn. Is this a charlatan?
Qin Mengxue, who has received a good socialist education since childhood, does not believe in those great immortals. In Qin Mengxue's heart, the kind of person who cheats you on money and talks nonsense.
So Qin Mengxue politely refused to say "Sorry, old man, I don't believe in fate. I think it's better to go by myself."
The old man was not angry, and still smiled with a profound look on his face, "But at present, if I guess correctly, something has already happened that you cannot control yourself."
Qin Mengxue was shocked and suddenly thought of her uncontrollable marriage, but she didn't say anything, and the expression on her face did not change much.
"Haha, it seems that I'm right. Let me listen to me. Remember to cherish when you get it. Don't wait until you lose it before thinking about regretting it!" The old man still smiled, "Little girl, today you and I are destined to be together, and I won't accept you for any penny."
Qin Mengxue was still digesting the old man's words, and her doubts were even greater. What was the old man saying, cherishing, and regretting. What did he get and what would he lose?
Seeing Qin Mengxue looking at him with a concealed face, the old man said softly, "Little girl, if you are destined to be together in the future, I will definitely meet again. Then I will help you calculate a fortune!"
After saying that, the old man stopped caring about Qin Mengxue. He left with a laugh while stroking his beard. When he left, he was still singing "The dream is short and the night is long, and I sit and wait for the clear frost and dawn. No one is going to put on makeup in the mirror..." Soon he disappeared from Qin Mengxue's sight, as if the old man had never appeared at all.
Just as he watched the old man leave, Qin Mengxue was full of thoughts and thought hard about the meaning of the old man's words but had no answer.
"Forget it, maybe it's just a crazy old man, I'd better go buy something." Qin Mengxue sighed slightly and comforted herself.
After that, Qin Mengxue also successfully came to the mall and spent a lot of money. She bought all the clothes, cosmetics and bags without any distress.
After putting all the things you bought back into the car, it was already quietly coming to the afternoon. Although I had been shopping for a day and was a little tired, Qin Mengxue was still in a good mood at the moment. It seems that consumption is a great way to relieve stress, which is not fake.
After looking at the phone and calling someone, his secretary Yu Xiaoxiao did not contact him. It seems that everything is going well in the company today.
Guru Guru, Qin Mengxue's stomach suddenly started to scream at this time.
Listening to the sound of his stomach, Qin Mengxue smiled helplessly and said, after walking around for so long, she really didn't have a meal. She only had the coffee I had yesterday and the bowl of soy milk I bought this morning.
Forget it and buy some vegetables. After all, there is no vegetables at home, but Qin Mengxue immediately thought of something and snorted coldly in her heart, "What's the home? It's not my home. I just bought some vegetables when I'm hungry, not for the sake of "home"!"
Time flies, and it is night in a blink of an eye. The night comes silently, embracing the city of Beiyang gently into your arms. The city that has been busy for a day does not look like it is particularly tired, with street lights flashing one after another.
Vehicles are coming and going on both sides of the road, and pedestrians on the street are rushing. Some are rushing home with a happy look on their faces, and some are hooking up with their partners. I don’t know if they want to check in a room to do exercise or are preparing to go home.
Xue Tianai walked quietly on the streets of Beiyang City, feeling this familiar and unfamiliar city. After ten years, he finally returned to China and returned to the place where he was born.
Is this considered going home? Xue Tianai asked himself with a wry smile, what is home? Home is a warm harbor. When you go back, you have people who love you and people you love. You can enjoy the warmth at home, but do you really have one?
It is Villa No. 3, Hongyang or the beautiful fiancée arranged by his family. It seems that these cannot be called home at present.
Without telling anyone, Xue Tianai bid farewell to the reluctant Sigong Yanyue, Owl Weiss and a group of members of the Butterfly Organization, he booked a regular air ticket and quietly returned to China.
Alas, go back, maybe I and Qin Mengxue got married unexpectedly. After all, that was my fiancée. Xue Tianai patted her face gently, and her originally serious expression was swept away at this moment, replaced by a cynical look. Xue Tianai was like a little hooligan at this moment.
"Why are young people so worried about it?" Suddenly, a sudden voice rang behind Xue Tianai. Xue Tianai, who had just pretended to be cynical, couldn't help but look back with a cold expression.
I saw an old man talking. If Qin Mengxue saw this old man, she would definitely exclaim, because this old man was the old man who knocked on his car window in the morning!
"Who are you?" Xue Tianai stared at the old man with a vigilant look on his face. His cold murderous intent was also released. The old man gave him a feeling of danger!
If you can come to your back quietly, you will definitely be able to give yourself a knife silently.
Xue Tianai is very sensitive to danger when dancing on the Grim Reaper's sickle all year round. The feeling this old man gave him is really weird!
"Young man don't have to be nervous, take back your murderous aura. I am just an old fortune teller, not good at fighting and killing you young people." The old man smiled faintly, observed Xue Tianailai carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, tsk, strange!"
"I don't believe in fortune telling. I can dominate my life by myself, whether it's my own or someone else's!" Xue Tianai said coldly.
"It's so strange! Your fate is so coincidental with a little girl I saw today! Even the words were surprisingly similar. Could it be?" The old man did not care about Xue Tianai's cold words and continued to mumble alone.
"Hey, old man! Have you heard me? Just hit me if you want to, or don't talk crazy here!"
"Young man, I am not here to fight you, but I just feel that I am destined to be with you, so I will make a fortune for you here!" The old man smiled faintly, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't charge you money. I'm very happy to meet two destined people in one day!"
"I said, I don't believe it, why did you come!" Xue Tianai's tone was a little annoyed. He felt that the old man was playing with him at this moment.
"Young man, I give you a word. Your disguise may be able to deceive others' eyes, but you cannot deceive a true heart. Enjoy this hard-earned peace, and remember to protect this peace. After all, only you can do it!"
The old man paused and suddenly said with a joke again, "By the way, maybe you will have a romantic encounter later. Remember to take protective measures!"
After saying that, the old man laughed loudly and disappeared into the night.
Like Qin Mengxue, Xue Tianai was also confused by the old man. "What a weird person!" Seeing that the old man had no movement and left, Xue Tianai breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed at this moment.
The old man just now seemed to say that he had an affair later and asked himself to take protective measures. Xue Tianai really didn't believe this. How could he have an affair like that just returned to China?
Xue Tianai just thought about it and continued walking along the street. I don’t know how long it took, and as if I was tired of walking, I suddenly stopped and turned my head to look to the right. I saw a colorful sign appearing in Xue Tianai’s sight.
The wealthy family is a bar.
Alas, I went to have a drink, Xue Tianai suddenly felt thirsty, so he turned around and walked towards the bar door.
Soon, Xue Tianai arrived at the door. Just as he was about to step in, a tilted figure ran out of the bar in panic.
But for some reason, this figure actually fell into Xue Tianai's arms!
