Chapter 022 Jinjiang Debut
"What?"
Meng Xiangjun's breathing became rapid, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she nervously pinched the edge of the table with both hands, looking at the date written on the note in disbelief.
"Today is June 17th, and you said I won't live until June 29th. Does that mean I only have less than half a month left to live?"
"According to your current pulse condition, this is the case," Bai Mian said gently, "but fate can be changed."
Hearing Bai Mian say this, Meng Xiangjun instantly relaxed. She crossed her legs, a trace of disdain appeared in her eyes: "Oh, I understand, it's this old-fashioned rhetoric again, you want money, right? First you say I have a bloody disaster, and then let me pay for it myself, right?"
Lame Brother was a little unhappy. He patted the table and said seriously: "Please be careful with your words. Our little God of Wealth is not that kind of charlatan!"
"Oh, we're singing the same tune, it looks pretty good," Meng Xiangjun admired her manicure nonchalantly, "As expected, all of you internet celebrities are here to make money. Never mind, I'm rich now anyway, so I'll just do it for good luck. Just tell me how much you want, and I'll let my fiancé pay for it."
Lame Brother stuck his head out of the door and saw the fiancé that Meng Xiangjun mentioned was sitting in the driver's seat of the luxury car outside. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and gave off an aura of "keep away from strangers". Lame Brother looked at his chin and felt that he looked familiar.
"Do I know him?" Lame Brother said to himself, "It shouldn't be possible. My friends are all poor losers like me..."
Meng Xiangjun burst out laughing and leaned back in her chair. "Come on, the people who want to get close to my fiancé are lining up for miles. I advise you to just tell me if you want money. I'm not against giving it to you. Why put on such a show? It's a pity. I thought I had met a real master."
"Apart from the ten yuan pulse diagnosis fee, I won't charge you any more fees," Bai Mian said seriously, "The only person who can resolve your fate is you."
Hearing Bai Mian say this, Meng Xiangjun changed his previous careless attitude, sat up straight, and began to look at Bai Mian:
"Then tell me, what caused my death?"
"Your pulse shows that you will drown on June 20th." Bai Mian said this word by word.
Meng Xiangjun took a deep breath, "The 20th, only three days left? The 20th... Yes, I'm going out that day. I've made an appointment with my ex-boyfriend's mother to go boating on the lake. Could I have an accident while boating on the lake? That's terrible. Fortunately, I knew about it in advance. I'll tell her later that we won't go boating on the lake, let's watch a movie instead!"
Lame brother couldn't help but complain: "You are about to get married, and you are still traveling with your ex-boyfriend's family. This is too outrageous."
After Lame Brother finished speaking, Meng Xiangjun's face changed. She asked back, "What do you know? Do you know the inside story? I accompanied my ex-boyfriend's mother out because that day was my ex-boyfriend's death anniversary!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the store was filled with doubtful voices. Everyone became curious about the story behind Meng Xiangjun. Meng Xiangjun did not let everyone down and lit a thin cigarette and began to tell the story.
"Speaking of my ex-boyfriend Qi Yuanhai, I actually didn't love him, but he pursued me for many years and accompanied me for many years. I guess we had a friendship."
"To be frank, I know I'm pretty. I've had many suitors since I was a kid, and Qi Yuanhai is the most persistent one among them. From elementary school to college, he has been writing love letters to me. I threw one, and he wrote one. In the end, I was so obsessed with him that I just became friends with him."
"I rejected him directly. I told him that I must find a rich husband in the future and it is impossible for me to find a boy from an ordinary family like him. But he refused to listen to me and kept chasing me. I had no choice."
Lame brother interrupted: "Since you despise him so much, why did he become your boyfriend later?"
Meng Xiangjun rolled her eyes: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm almost there!"
"He and I were admitted to the same university, and we were friends for four years. When we graduated, he always had migraines, and later went to the hospital for a checkup. He was diagnosed with brain cancer, and it was in the late stage. The doctor said he would not live more than half a year."
"On the day he found out the result, he came to me with the medical report and begged me to be his girlfriend. He said this was his last wish and that if he couldn't be with me while he was alive, he would die with regrets."
"Although I don't like him at all, we have known each other for so many years, so there is always some affection between us. People are all made of flesh and blood, so I softened my heart and agreed to his request."
"Later, I accompanied him to the hospital for treatment and met his mother. Only then did I know that he was from a single-parent family. His father had passed away a long time ago, and his mother raised him alone."
"He underwent several chemotherapy treatments in the hospital, but they didn't seem to have any effect. He became thinner and thinner until he was just skin and bones. We could all see that he didn't have much time left."
"After the last chemotherapy, he told me that the three months he spent with me were the happiest time of his life, but he was still not satisfied. He suddenly made an excessive request to me - he hoped that I would get married with him!"
When Meng Xiangjun said this, her tone suddenly changed: "Tell me, are you kidding me? I am only with him because I sympathize with him. Why should I add another marriage experience for him?"
Meng Xiangjun looked back at the crowd, and everyone nodded in agreement. She then continued with satisfaction: "Anyway, I rejected this request, and he was very disappointed. Then he made another last wish - he hoped that I could spend more time with his mother after he died. I agreed. After all, his mother would live alone in this world in the future, which would be quite pitiful."
"I left the hospital later, and Qi Yuanhai died soon after. I didn't see him for the last time. Later, I made an agreement with Qi Yuanhai's mother Du Li that I would spend every year with her on Qi Yuanhai's memorial day. This year is his first memorial day, and I can't break my promise."
Meng Xiangjun blew out a smoke ring and raised her eyebrows to look at Lame Brother: "Now, you know why I want to go on a trip with my ex-boyfriend's family, right?"
Lame brother clasped his fists repeatedly, with a look of admiration on his face: "The heroine is righteous, it is me who is narrow-minded!"
The cigarette was almost burned out, Meng Xiangjun put it out and said with some emotion:
"At the time, I just thought that he was going to die, so I helped him once. Who knew that this experience would bring me trouble? After he died, I started to meet new boys. Some of them were good in all aspects and we were interested in each other. But when they heard that my ex-boyfriend died of a terminal illness, they all avoided me like the plague. I guess they thought it was unlucky."
"Some people even say that I am a jinx. What era is this? How can people still believe in this?" Meng Xiangjun said indignantly, "What dynasty did this old zombie travel through time from?"
Lame brother comforted him: "Men with strong lives won't be afraid of these things. If they are afraid, it's because they are weak."
Meng Xiangjun was amused: "Yes! A bunch of wimps! God let me miss them, that's because there are better ones waiting for me. Just when I was worried about finding a boyfriend, a destiny fell from the sky——"
"My car was parked in the parking lot that day, and a car that came later scratched the paint off it. I was about to get angry when I suddenly noticed that the owner of my car was a young man. He had a good temperament and drove a very luxurious car. I immediately became interested and added him on WeChat to get to know him better."
"I guessed right. He is single and his family is very rich. Not long after we met, he confessed his love to me. After knowing about my ex-boyfriend, he didn't care at all and spoiled me like a baby. We were in love for half a year and he proposed to me. Everything went smoothly as if it was a miracle."
Meng Xiangjun's voice rose at the end, and it was obvious that she was very happy to talk about her fiancé.
"Congratulations," said Lame Brother, "What's your fiancé's name? Why haven't you mentioned his name before?"
Meng Xiangjun leaned back in his chair and said cautiously, "Forget it. We're live streaming now. What if someone with ulterior motives spots me after I say his name and brings him trouble?"
"Excuse me," Bai Mian interrupted the casual chat between Meng Xiangjun and Lame Brother, "You are the first person I have ever seen who remained so calm after being informed of his death date."
Meng Xiangjun spread her hands and said, "What's the big deal? The problem has been solved. You said I would accidentally drown while boating in the lake, so why don't I just go to the movies instead?"
"No, I didn't say it was an accident," Bai Mian slowed down his speech, "You were boating on the lake--"
"He was dragged under the water and drowned."
