Chen Zhe and Mu Wanzhi boarded first-class seats on the Wangjiang-Flyer back to Donghai.
An interesting thing happened on the plane.
Chen Zhe had just sat down.
A woman, around 30 years old and wearing black lip gloss, came to his seat.
"Handsome guy, are you here in Wangjiang for tourism?"
The woman leaned against him, looked into Chen Zhe's eyes, and asked with a half-smile.
"I'm here to take care of some business. What is it?"
Chen Zhe didn't understand why this woman suddenly came over and started talking to him.
May I sit down?
She asked casually.
Chen Zhe glanced at Mu Wanzhi in the next seat and noticed that Mu Wanzhi was also looking at them.
Chen Zhe wanted to refuse, but the woman simply sat down opposite him.
She was holding a deck of cards, which looked like a tarot deck.
"I'm a fortune teller. When I saw you just now, I became a little interested. Would you be interested in having your fortune told?"
"Excuse me, beautiful, I don't really believe in this stuff."
The woman was not disappointed by Chen Zhe's rejection; she maintained her faint smile.
"The journey is lonely. It takes four hours to get from here to the East China Sea. Wouldn't it be good to kill some time? Don't worry, I won't charge you."
Mu Wanzhi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over to sit with Chen Zhe.
"We are together!"
Her words sounded like a declaration of ownership. Last night, she and Chen Zhe had done what a man and woman should do. If the other woman were Chen Zhe's girlfriend, she certainly wouldn't say anything, but the other woman was just a stranger.
This made her feel disgusted.
The woman, instead of leaving after hearing this, looked at Mu Wanzhi with a smile.
"Sister, don't be nervous, I'm not trying to steal your man..."
She smiled, noticing the awkwardness in Mu Wanzhi's expression, and continued, "Besides... you two aren't boyfriend and girlfriend."
Her words made Mu Wanzhi a little angry.
She clung to Chen Zhe's arm, squinted, and questioned him in an unfriendly tone.
"What makes you think we're not boyfriend and girlfriend? Do you think I'm too old to have a younger boyfriend?"
The woman placed the cards on the table, covered her mouth, and smiled.
"Of course it's not because of superficial issues like age."
Chen Zhe became interested after hearing this.
"Then why do you think that way?"
The woman did not answer him immediately, but instead placed her hand on the tarot cards.
She smiled mysteriously and looked at the two of them, saying, "Just like I said, I'm a fortune teller. Are you interested in learning more about me now?"
Chen Zhe did not immediately agree; instead, Mu Wanzhi asked a question.
How do you play?
The woman spread out the tarot cards.
Use your hand to indicate;
"Love, wealth, career, you pick three cards."
Mu Wanzhi hesitated for a moment, then randomly picked up three cards.
After the woman read it, she seemed to understand it perfectly.
"Sister, your love life hasn't been smooth. You were married once when you were very young, but your husband didn't love you, and you became a widow at a young age. Although many people pursued you during that time, you never took the initiative. But recently, your love life has blossomed, and you've started a new relationship, but this relationship is something you can't keep secret..."
Mu Wanzhi and Chen Zhe were both surprised when they heard this.
They were quite certain they had never seen this woman before. How could she be so accurate? Did she really have some kind of skill?
"There's not much to look at regarding wealth; you were born rich and will never lack money in your life."
What about your career?
Mu Wanzhi already felt that this woman had some ability. She came out this time to try to salvage her career, so she wanted to know the answer.
The woman smiled slightly.
"You will encounter a major hurdle soon. If you don't handle it well, everything you've worked so hard for will be in vain. Of course, this won't affect your wealth. As I just said, you are born rich and will never lack money in your life. Even if you lose your career, you will still be just as wealthy."
"Can't I get over this hurdle?"
Mu Wanzhi asked with some concern.
The woman paused for a moment before saying, "Whether you can pass depends on your benefactor."
"My benefactor? Where is he?"
"hehe……"
The woman chuckled; "Though seemingly far away, your friend appears to be incredibly distinguished."
The woman glanced at Chen Zhe, her meaning clear.
Mu Wanzhi also looked at Chen Zhe, and unconsciously, she tightened her grip on Chen Zhe's arm.
"Chen Zhe, you...you'll help me, right?" Mu Wanzhi asked softly.
Chen Zhe nodded, then placed his hand on the back of her hand to reassure her.
The woman looked at Chen Zhe again.
"Handsome, it's your turn. Want to have your fortune told?"
Chen Zhe sized up the woman, thought for a moment, and then refused.
"No."
"Um??"
His refusal surprised both Mu Wanzhi and the woman. The woman's performance just now should have been very convincing. Wasn't Chen Zhe even a little curious about his future?
"Um... handsome, do you think my calculations are inaccurate?"
The woman asked.
Chen Zhe shook his head; "No, that's not it."
"Why is that?"
She pressed for an answer.
Mu Wanzhi also wanted to know the answer.
Chen Zhe smiled and said calmly, "The future is in our own hands. Even if it's predetermined, we still need to take the initiative before it happens. Knowing things in advance doesn't always mean things will be better. What do you think?"
"That's not entirely true. Knowing things in advance can help us avoid risks..."
"Heh, if it's destined, how can human effort escape it?"
"this……"
The woman was at a loss for words when Chen Zhe asked her that question. She gave an awkward smile, then stood up and left.
After she left, Mu Wanzhi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Aren't you really not curious about the future at all?"
Chen Zhe shook his head.
"Not curious."
He said that, but he was actually curious. However, he felt that this woman was strange and something was not right. Although the woman came to find him at first, Chen Zhe noticed that her gaze would occasionally look at Mu Wanzhi.
The moment Mu Wanzhi agreed to have her fortune told, Chen Zhe sensed excitement in the woman's eyes. Although she was trying to hide it, Chen Zhe had studied micro-expressions in psychology, and he couldn't be fooled by that.
Given his skepticism towards women, he naturally wouldn't continue the conversation.
...
Four hours later.
The plane landed at Donghai International Airport.
The woman was already standing at the plane door with her luggage when the plane landed.
After she got off the train, she found a corner and made a phone call.
"Boss, I haven't completed the task you assigned. Chen Zhe didn't ask me to do the calculations."
"What about Mu Wanzhi?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"She let it go; she seems to believe me."
"That's good enough. As long as she believes it, the task is almost complete. You've been there for several days, and it must have been tiring for you. I'll transfer the money to you later."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
