Chapter 393 Do You Really Want to Hear?

A few familiar people were talking in whispers together, when suddenly a strange voice interrupted them, startling everyone.

Subconsciously turning her head, she saw a pretty girl standing not far away, looking at them with a smile on her face, and the person they had just been talking about was standing next to her.

There is nothing more devastating than whispering crickets behind someone's back and having the person doing the listening to hear it. At least these little girls in front of me haven't developed enough thick skin to remain calm in such a situation.

"Sorry, we didn't mean to..."

Du Anrao smiled at them to comfort them, saying that he did not misunderstand them. He only stared at the girl who sympathized with the scumbag, then turned to ask Du Yunni: "Do you... have a grudge?"

Du Yunni hurriedly shook her head. Du Anrao raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl inquiringly.

A trace of guilt flashed across the girl's eyes. She avoided Duan Rao's gaze and refuted: "...No, no."

Du Anrao pretended not to notice her little action and smiled faintly: "Since there is no festival, then it means that you really think so in your heart. So, this little sister can accept that your father has another woman outside without your mother's knowledge and has another child with that woman outside?"

When the girl heard what Duanrao said, her expression changed and her face turned red, obviously she was really angry.

"How can you talk like that? What do you mean by keeping another woman outside? What do you mean by having another child with another woman outside? Do you know how to talk..."

"You can't stand me just talking about it, but you can talk freely about others. It's true that you can't feel the pain unless the knife cuts yourself."

"I...I..." The girl seemed to realize that her words were inappropriate. Her face turned pale for a long time, and finally she lowered her head in shame. "I'm sorry, it's my problem. I shouldn't let personal feelings sway me and talk about other people's family affairs casually."

Duan Rao looked at her deeply and sighed, "You are sixteen years old this year, one year older than your classmates. This is because you fell into the water when you were eight years old, nearly died and left a psychological trauma. In order to better cure your psychological problems and to compensate for the neglect of you over the years, your mother decided to let you take a year off from school and take a few months off to accompany you to your grandparents' house for recuperation."

Guo Meizhen, the girl who had just apologized, widened her eyes in surprise: "You...how did you know?"

"You are the only daughter in your family. Your parents are well-off and you are loved by your elders. However, you have suffered many misfortunes since you were a child. When you were two years old, you had a high fever and were hospitalized. When you were three years old, you were almost abducted by human traffickers. When you were five years old, you went downstairs with your nanny, but because of her momentary negligence, you almost fell from the elevator shaft alone. When you were eight years old, you fell into the water and almost drowned."

All of Guo Meizhen's friends looked at her in surprise. They never expected that she had such a rough past.

Guo Meizhen was also surprised. She had only heard about these things once or twice by chance from her relatives. She was too young to remember some of these things that happened a long time ago, but the person in front of her knew them so clearly. Was it a coincidence or...

Before Guo Meizhen could think more, Duanrao's next words surprised her even more.

"Before I was eight, I suffered many disasters and could have lost my life at any time. But after I was eight, everything went smoothly. Except that I was not as close to my father's family as before, it seemed that there was not much difference from before. But is this really the case?"

"You...what do you mean?"

"You are alive today, not because you are lucky, but because you have a good mother who has been protecting you." Duan Rao leaned close to her ear and reminded her in a voice that only they could hear, "What I just said was not meant to embarrass or ridicule you, but to remind you sincerely."

"Instead of getting depressed and entangled over trivial matters and losing your original intention, you might as well go back and feel sorry for your loved ones who have given so much for you but have been repeatedly betrayed by those around them."

Guo Meizhen's pupils shrank slightly, and her lips began to tremble.

When she finally recovered and wanted to continue asking questions, she found that Duanrao and others had already waited for the car and left first.

"Meizhen, what's wrong with you? What did that lady say to you just now? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"She said...she said..."

Before Guo Meizhen finished speaking, another friend exclaimed, "Ah, I remember now. I was wondering why that lady looked so familiar. It turned out to be the fortune-teller who went viral online not long ago."

"Divine Calculation... Mouth Substitution?"

"That's it." The girl pulled out a video. If Du Anrao and the others were still there, they would have discovered that the video she pulled out was the clip of Du Anrao digging up Li Qianxi's past in the coffee shop.

Guo Meizhen's friends came over to watch for a while and felt that this person's reputation as a mouthpiece was well deserved. He was very straightforward when he criticized the green tea, but...

"What does this divine calculation mean?"

"According to the young lady herself, she grew up in a Taoist temple and has inherited the Taoist tradition. She calculated all the bad things the woman in the video did. But this is a bit mysterious, so everyone tends not to believe it. They think she deliberately set up a metaphysical persona to shock the woman so that she would break down and reveal her true colors."

Not to mention those netizens who watched the live broadcast remotely, the girl who spoke obviously thought so too. However, she did not notice that when she mentioned Duan Rao's identity as a Taoist priest, Guo Meizhen's face standing next to her suddenly turned ugly.

As they were talking, Guo Meizhen suddenly ran forward quickly, startling everyone.

"Meizhen, it's almost time for dinner. Where are you going?"

"I'm going home for a while, you guys go back first."

Although Du Yunni and her brother lived in a boarding school, the situation these days was special, so Du Lianshuang asked for leave for both of them, so they could enter and leave the school at any time.

Logically speaking, the issue of the two elders of the Cui family has been resolved today, and it is time for them to live on campus again.

But after the two of them had just discussed it, they actually got into the car with Duan Rao and the others. It was not because they were greedy for the vacation, but simply because... they wanted to eat some spectacles!

"Sister An Rao, Sister An Rao, what did you just say to Guo Meizhen? Why did she look like she saw a ghost after hearing it?"

"Do you know her? Are you familiar with her?"

Du Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed: "Not really, it's just that my sister always gets first place in the exam and she always gets second place. This reputation of being the perennial runner-up is quite famous in school, and she is always involved with my sister, so I can't help but... pay more attention to her."

Du Yuxi raised her eyebrows, and when she thought about how Du Anrao had asked them whether they had any grudges against each other as soon as they met, a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes.

Du Anrao listened to his explanation and nodded. He didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just asked with a smile, "Do you really want to hear it?"
