Chapter 4

The lady was wearing a light yellow sling suit with a scarf tied around her slender neck, looking like a wealthy lady from Hong Kong.

Chu Yueqing took a look and thought that she should agree on the price first to avoid disputes later. "For fortune-telling, it's one hundred yuan per divination."

"So expensive? The old man and old woman on Tung Choi Street only charge twenty-one divinations." He Shifei was surprised and pushed her sunglasses up again.

Chu Yueqing understood that the price difference was huge, and it was normal for customers to have doubts, so she patiently explained: “You get what you pay for. Just like a similar coat, the one sold at Tung Choi Street and the one sold at AIA Building not only has two prices, but also two qualities.”

“It’s okay if you change your mind.”

He Shifei shook her head: “I go shopping often, and I understand what you mean. It is said that cheap goods are not good, so I decided to trust you this time.”

Chu Yueqing was in a good mood after taking the order, and she couldn’t hide the smile on her face. “You sit down first, I’ll make this bowl of purple sweet potato, coconut milk and sago.”

He Shifei didn’t say anything else, and sat down at the cramped small table with her bag.

Chu Yue rolled up her sleeves, took out a clean bowl from the foam box in the stall, and then scooped a spoonful of soft and sticky purple sweet potato from the popsicle box. The lavender sticky rice was then blended with transparent tapioca pearls, two pieces of ice, and finally poured in rich coconut milk.

A bowl of sweet and delicious purple sweet potato syrup was ready.

Chu Yue put the sterilized spoon into the bowl, turned around and put it on the small wooden table, "Drink the syrup first?"

He Shifei nodded. She still didn't take off her sunglasses and took a sip of the syrup with the spoon. The cool and delicious syrup went into her esophagus, sweeping away her early morning depression.

He Shifei's dissatisfaction gradually subsided, and she began to praise, "The dessert tastes good."

Chu Yueqing also took a wooden stool and sat down opposite her. After He Shifei finished the dessert, she took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the corners of her mouth, put on lipstick, and then looked at Chu Yueqing.

"Can we start?"

"Sure, but." Chu Yuexing clasped her fingers together and placed them lightly on her temples, "You have to take off your sunglasses."

When Zhang Jiande heard that Chu Yuexing wanted to tell fortunes again, he rushed out of the coffee shop with a cigarette holder in his hand. He stood next to Lin Jiahua and took a puff of cigarette, "Light it? Xingxing is going to tell fortunes again?"

Because of Uncle Jian, Lin Jiahua was also curious about fortune-telling. He pushed his glasses and said, "It's just the beginning, let's take a look first."

He Shifei took off her sunglasses, and everyone saw her haggard face. Her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts. No wonder she wore sunglasses.

He Shifei said awkwardly, "Let's start."

Chu Yueqing clasped her hands together and looked at He Shifei's face clearly before she started.

"You are 32 years old this year. You lost your mother when you were 8 years old. Your father had to do business and had no time to support you. After you were 9 years old, you lived with your aunt."

He Shifei looked incredible and was shocked.

These were all things from her childhood. She had never told outsiders about them. Even her childhood friends who grew up with her thought that her aunt was her biological mother.

"Have you investigated me? How do you know so much?"

"A person's life development will be shown in his face. I can tell what happened to you in the past with just one look."

He Shifei thought that fortune-telling was about the future and whether it was accurate would only be known later. Who would have thought that Chu Yueqing could tell the past with just one look.

She thought to herself: A hundred yuan is worth it just for this.

Chu Yueqing continued after explaining.

"After you became an adult, you moved back home to live with your father. Because of the years of estrangement, you and your father did not get along well, but because he was your only relative, you were willing to tolerate his strange temper." "

You hope that your father can occasionally show concern for you like other families. But today you are very disappointed."

Chu Yueqing paused here, "Because your father has a new love, and this new love..."

"She is your best friend since childhood."

He Shifei's expression became painful. She wanted to explain, but she opened her mouth and seemed powerless. She could only take a tissue and lower her head to wipe her tears, proving that Chu Yueqing was right.

Everyone around exclaimed.

"Wow, old man and young wife are really awesome."

Lin Jiahua was puzzled, "Since his father lost his wife a long time ago, why can't he find a girlfriend?"

"You are all stupid." Zhang Jiande glanced at him sideways, pointed at He Shifei, and pulled up his suit straps with his right hand to bounce on his big belly, "Her best friend must be about the same age as her. Her father gave all his love and care to her best friend, so who will care about her? It is said that a person's childhood takes a lifetime to heal."

Someone said, "Old man and young wife also have true love."

Ashanpo was combing her hair with a peach wood comb. There were more people joining in the fun, and she relied on her small body to move two more seats to the front.

"What true love? If you ask me, that young girl must be greedy for money to be with an older man, otherwise what is she looking for? To find a filthy man who smells like an old man?"

He Shifei shook her head in pain: "Anyone is fine, why Ah Xian? I have already told my father that if Ah Xian is there, I will not exist, and if I am there, Ah Xian will not exist. As long as the two of them choose to be together, I will not go home for a single day."

"But fortunately, even if I lose my father, I will still have the love of my husband. I am ready to have no contact with them until the end of my life, and my husband is enough for me. This time, I mainly want to calculate when my husband and I can have a child."

"Child?" Chu Yueqing shook her head, "You and your husband can't have a child."

He Shifei even forgot to cry at this moment, and stood there in a daze, "What do you mean by saying that?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, your husband has someone else outside." Chu Yueqing just finished speaking, and was refuted by He Shifei.

"Impossible, my husband loves me very much, he will never cheat."

"Why don't you give me your birth date and horoscope." Chu Yueqing got He Shifei's horoscope and counted on her fingers, "Did you meet at karaoke?"

He Shifei recalled the past, and the painful expression on her face gradually faded, and she couldn't help but laugh. It can be seen that He Shifei thinks this relationship is very beautiful.

"Yes, I often ask Ah Xian to go to the karaoke hall. Every time, I would run into him by chance. He was really handsome at that time, a replica of Andy Lau. He was also the vice president of a listed company, polite and humble."

Chu Yueqing said what he had expected, "What a pity, if this was really fate. Your meeting was created by him. He had already investigated you for a long time, and he was only attracted by your wealth."

He Shifei was originally in the international cosmetics business. She had a lot of assets at a young age, and was a favorite of many low-income men.

He Shifei was obviously not very happy with this result, "No, Ayuan couldn't lie to me. He said he was sincere to me, and even after getting married, he didn't reduce his enthusiasm for me."

Chu Yueqing continued to tell the results one by one: "From the horoscope, you will lose a lot of money soon. Have you signed some contracts with your husband these days?"

He Shifei was surprised: "You calculated this too? Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. He was very thoughtful and specially prepared a candlelight dinner. After dinner, he took a few contracts for me to sign, saying that he would use them for business purposes."

"Didn't you read the contract?"

"As a couple, they have to trust each other. Plus, I was drunk and confused, so I just signed my name."

He Shifei was getting more and more scared by Chu Yueqing's words. She forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Yuan won't do that. If he sets up a scheme to take away my company shares, I will be in huge debt."

Chu Yueqing nodded. "So, you will live in poverty for the rest of your life. Your husband's background is all fake. Everything he designed was just to cheat you of your property. You won't be able to find him anywhere in the world, and you will be depressed for the rest of your life because you trusted a man wrongly, and you will end up being unhappy."

"Is it... really that serious?" He Shifei hesitated.

He Shifei was in a mess and at a loss. First, her best friend confessed that she was with her father because of her Oedipus complex. Then she came to tell her fortune. Everything was right, but she said that her lover cheated on her.

He Shifei was afraid that Chu Yueqing had made a mistake, but she was also afraid that she was right. She didn't know what to do.

Chu Yueqing put down her hand and said seriously, "If I were you, the first thing I would do is to transfer the deposit back. I have to take back everything I need first."

"Also, your husband has booked a room at the Peninsula Hotel with three women. It's on the sixth floor, west side, in the last room."

"Thank you." He Shifei hurriedly paid the money, took her bag and left quickly.

The fortune-telling was over.

Chu Yueqing stretched her stiff waist and turned around to see Zhang Jiande holding Lin Jiahua's shoulders and teasing her.

"One man and three women, I don't know if it's true or not, can that person handle it?"

An employee of the cafe happened to watch the whole thing, thinking that although he didn't know if Mr. Ho Shi Fei's affair was true or not, he was almost right, so he walked to the dessert shop with a white paper full of numbers.

"Master Chu, can you tell me my fortune too, even if I can find a good start for this shop?"

Zhang Jiande looked at his own employee and shook his head, "Tian Tong Hui, you want to buy the Six Rings Lottery again? Stop it, the horse has stumbles, don't be careless one day and invest your entire fortune."

Tian Tong Hui smiled and showed a row of teeth: "Boss, I have inside information, it would be stupid not to buy it."

The Six Rings Lottery is the only legal lottery in Hong Kong and one of the few legal gambling methods allowed.

Although it is legal, the risk is also very high.

Chu Yueqing did not have a good rest and was not energetic enough, so he shook his head and refused Tiantong Hui, but he still gave a kind reminder.

"Tiantong Hui, I advise you not to buy the six-ring lottery today, otherwise you will definitely go bankrupt."

Tiantong Hui originally thought that no matter whether Chu Yueqing's calculations were accurate or not, he could get a good start, but he didn't expect that he would go bankrupt right away, and his face darkened a lot.

"Bah, big Gillette. I have inside information, I already know which horse will win. It's stupid not to make money."

Tiantong Hui said and rushed to place the bet, not taking the bankruptcy matter to heart at all.

"Good words can't persuade a damned ghost." Chu Yueqing shook her head, lifted the lid of the popsicle box and leaned against it to count the money. One hundred yuan for fortune-telling and seven yuan for sugar water, which added up to one hundred and seven.

"There is also fifteen thousand that Uncle Jian hasn't sent over yet, a total of one thousand six hundred and seven."

Chu Yueqing planned to close the stall a little later tonight. Making more money is the right way to live.

"Xingxi." Lin Jiahua also closed the stall and waved, "Let's go to Zhang's Tea Restaurant for lunch."

"Coming."

Chu Yueqing put the used sugar water bowl into the bucket and went into the restaurant with Lin Jiahua.

Zhang Jiande came over with a cigarette in his mouth and handed over the menu in person, "What do you want to eat?"

Chu Yueqing took the menu and looked through it, then clicked on the big piece of red meat on it and looked up: "Brother De, I want a bowl of Long□□ feet rice."

Zhang Jiande praised: "Xingxing really knows how to order. Brother De's chef is the No. 1 chef in Longjiang. I guarantee you will want it again after eating it once."

"Xingxing wants pig feet rice, and I want a bowl of curry chicken chop rice." Lin Jiahua returned the menu to Zhang Jiande, "Thank you, Brother De."

"Okay." Zhang Jiande took back the menu, very happy, "One more serving of the old-fashioned soup for each person, the dragon bones have been boiled for three hours, it's a good thing for you."

Chu Yuexi's eyes curved, "Thank you, Brother De."

The food was served quickly, and two bowls of soup were served first.

Chu Yuexi just picked up the spoon and took a sip, and the restaurant door was pushed open.

The owner of the tea stall came in, panting and begging in an extremely excited tone.

"It's amazing, at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, a naked man was chopped out by the pretty lady with a knife!"
