"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Miss, it was all my fault!"
The man in the luxury car outside waited for a long time but his assistant didn't get in. He rubbed his temples and turned to look at him impatiently.
He paused for a moment when he saw Fang Yuan's familiar face.
He looked around through the car window before opening the car door and getting out.
"Assistant He, what's going on?"
A man's cold voice rang out at the entrance of the coffee shop.
He Jin, who was discussing compensation with Fang Yuan, was taken aback. Why did the boss suddenly get out of the car?
"Mr. Mu, why did you get out of the car?"
His boss has been having a really bad time lately; he's so unlucky that even walking alone, he's likely to get bird droppings on him.
He was genuinely worried that something might happen when he suddenly got off the bus in the city center.
"What's going on between you and this young lady?" Mu Qingyan asked, looking at Fang Yuan.
He Jin hurriedly reported:
"Someone bumped into me just now, and my coffee spilled all over this lady. I'm discussing compensation with her right now!"
Fang Yuan frowned as he looked at the newcomer.
"System, why do I see black mist above this guy's head? Is it an illusion?"
Fang Yuan was genuinely curious; the dark aura surrounding the well-dressed man in front of him was indeed quite striking.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also saw a faint golden light on his body confronting the black aura.
[Host, this is the ability your cheat system granted you, allowing you to see other people's fortune.]
"Seeing other people's luck? Why didn't I see it before?" Fang Yuan asked, puzzled.
She's seen quite a few people since she woke up today, but she can only see this one person's aura, which is strange.
[The luck of ordinary people doesn't manifest; you need to concentrate your mental energy to see it. But those who are extremely unlucky or extremely lucky have such strong luck that you can see it directly.]
"Oh, I see. That ability seems pretty amazing!" Fang Yuan exclaimed with delight.
Isn't this the perfect cheat code for a charlatan?
The system kindly offered a reminder:
[Host, you can only see a person's fortune; you don't actually know how to tell fortunes.]
Are you planning to just make up a bunch of lies and become a charlatan?
"·····"
Well, the system poured cold water on her again.
She can forget about setting up a fortune-telling stall, but seeing a person's luck seems to offer a lot of room for manipulation.
Fang Yuan started to think, but He Jin spoke again, interrupting her reverie.
"Miss, how about I offer you a thousand yuan as compensation?"
Now that his unfortunate boss has left, he naturally needs to get things sorted out as soon as possible.
Fang Yuan glanced at him, but didn't reply. Instead, he pointed to his boss and asked:
"Has this gentleman been having a lot of bad luck lately?"
Fang Yuan felt that the good fortune bestowed by the golden finger must be this man.
Although she couldn't tell fortunes, she could see that someone's luck wasn't a fraud, and she felt it necessary to demonstrate her abilities to this benefactor.
How did you know?
He Jin first exclaimed in surprise, then smiled knowingly:
"Miss, do you recognize my boss and want to find a chance to get to know him?"
He suspected that the young woman was deliberately waiting for his boss there.
Or is it her doing that his boss is having bad luck?
As an excellent assistant, He Lan quickly came up with many guesses.
"He Lan!"
Mu Qingyan gave her assistant a warning.
He turned and carefully examined Fang Yuan a few times, and the more he looked, the more he thought it resembled him.
He suppressed his suspicions and asked, "May I ask what this young lady's name is, what her family does, and how she knew my situation?"
"My name is Fang Yuan, and I'm just an orphan. Please don't misunderstand, sir. I just noticed that you have a lot of dark energy around you, so I asked you this out of curiosity," Fang Yuan replied generously.
Before Mu Qingyan could speak, He Lan laughed first: "You can see bad luck? Do you think you have golden eyes? Then look at me, how about that?"
Mr. Mu has been having a lot of bad luck lately; he spent the night at a famous temple last night before returning home.
Unfortunately, none of it was of any use.
Their car continued to have various accidents on the way here.
I came in to buy coffee because the owner hadn't slept all night and needed a pick-me-up.
Now that this girl claims to be able to see the boss's bad luck, he's even more certain that she's a fraud or someone sent by his rival.
“I can only see everyone’s luck. This gentleman is the kind who is particularly unlucky, so I noticed him as soon as he came in.”
After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at He Lan and said, "Your luck is tinged with gray, which means you probably got some bad luck from your boss. There's nothing special about it."
"Young lady, can you tell me who paid you to get close to my boss?"
“I already said, I can only see the fortunes of different people. I’m not a fortune teller, nor am I a Taoist priest,” Fang Yuan retorted unhappily.
Then, pointing to Mu Qingyan, he said, "This gentleman has a lot of dark energy on him, but he has some golden light on him that is resisting the dark energy. However, he won't be able to hold out for long."
Everything she said was true, not a single word was false. She only talked to him a few more times because she wanted to rely on him.
"·····"
“Miss, there’s no way to prove that you can see a person’s fortune. It’s hard not to be suspicious,” He Jin said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"What do you suspect me of? Are you trying to scam me? I never said I wanted your money!" Fang Yuan replied with a laugh.
She spoke without any hint of unease or guilt, which made the two men believe her somewhat.
"Is there a way to save us? What do you want?" Mu Qingyan suppressed his other thoughts and continued to ask.
“I wanted to sell something at the auction house across the street, and I was waiting here for someone with great luck to vouch for me. That’s when I saw you guys.”
Fang Yuan pointed to the auction house across the street and earnestly explained her purpose.
So she wasn't guarding the two of them; she was guarding the benefactor who was about to arrive for her.
And this benefactor just happened to be the two of them.
"Do you have something to participate in tonight's auction?" Mu Qingyan glanced at Fang Yuan's microcomputer again.
She looks like a student in her clothes, and she previously said that she was an orphan. What is she planning to sell?
Seeing the somewhat suspicious look in Mr. Mu's eyes, Fang Yuan pretended to take a red brocade pouch from his bag and handed it to him:
"Don't worry, this is my own stuff, and its origin is perfectly legitimate. It's just that this thing is very valuable, and I'm afraid I'll be falsely accused of embezzling it."
She found a piece of jadeite rough the size of a fist in the space.
This thing was left behind by her before, and she has no proof of ownership. If she goes in, she could easily be eaten.
To avoid trouble, she naturally needed to find a reliable backer to help her.
Mu Qingyan examined it carefully: "It is indeed a piece of high-quality jadeite!"
If this thing was found by accident, it's really hard to say where it came from.
He looked at Fang Yuan and said, "If you can solve my problem, I can guarantee that you will receive every penny of the money for this jade."
Without knowing Fang Yuan's identity, his business acumen kicked in again.
Fang Yuan chuckled lightly: "Now you believe I'm not a liar?"
"However, I'm not sure I can solve your problem, since I can only see whether someone's fortune is good or bad!"
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Mu Qingyan handed back the jade:
"Let's go to the other side first. The auction house there belongs to my company. I'll have my assistant buy you some clothes to change into."
He spent a night at the temple, but it didn't help. Now he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Besides, he was too familiar with the girl's face, and he didn't want to let her leave directly.
"Oh? Thank you very much. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you solve your problem!" Fang Yuan nodded and agreed to the deal.
Sure enough, the system wasn't lying to her; the owner of the auction house actually came to her door on his own initiative.
The assistant quickly packed two more coffees and followed the two back to the car.
Fang Yuan picked up his canvas bag to cover his clothes that had been splashed with coffee, and got into Mu Qingyan's luxury car.
