Chapter 339: Telling Beth's fortune, but I can't go on
On June 21, Murong called and said, "Ms. Beth has arrived at his villa and invited me to come over for a chat."
We are only 500 meters apart, we can just walk there.
Just as I walked a short distance, I received a call from Wei Yiming: "Teacher Wan, I passed the semi-finals. Someone also signed a contract with me."
I said excitedly, "Okay, I'm abroad now, so it's up to you to work hard from now on. If you have any problems when you go back, please look for Secretary Tian. He's a good man and he will help you."
The other end kept thanking me and talked for a long time before hanging up.
Let’s meet Beth first and then ask him about the situation in detail. I said to Wei Yiming, “Okay, I’ll call you when I have time.”
Murong was waiting at the door to greet me. She said, "She's waiting for you in the tea room."
Murong led me in, and Beth stood up. Murong had already introduced me to her, so she took the initiative to extend her hand: "Hello, Mr. Wan."
I wonder if she remembers me. I don't think she really does. When Hongzhi took us to her house, he only introduced Mr. Chen, not me, his attendant.
We were sitting quite far away. She chatted with Mr. Chen for about ten minutes before sending him away.
I looked at the woman, adorned with jewels, and said, "Hello."
We both sat down and the maid brought me a cup of coffee.
Beth said, "I've heard Murong tell me about Mr. Wan's amazing abilities and have been eager to meet him. I flew here from Hanoi to ask him to tell my fortune."
I nodded, not saying much. A master without some style isn't a master. A master without some skill isn't a master either. A true master has both style and skill.
She reported her birth date.
I half-closed my eyes, twirled my fingers, and said, "You're 42 years old. Your zodiac sign is the Snake. Let me first give you a general idea of who you are."
She nodded.
"People born in 1977 are born under the Fire element. This year is Ding Si Snake in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches calendar, and in the Jia Zi Na Yin calendar, it belongs to Sandy Earth. The Heavenly Stem is Ding, which belongs to the Fire element; the Earthly Branch is Si, which also belongs to the Fire element. Therefore, people born in this year have Fire element predominant.
Since you are a Ding Si Snake, you are very cautious and rarely listen to others. So, even if I tell you your fortune today, you don't believe it in your heart.
She nodded quickly: "I believe it, I believe it. Of course I believe what Murong introduced."
I shook my head. "Ms. Beth, loyalty is the most important thing. We must tell the truth to each other. From what I can see, I'm sure you don't trust me. So, there's no need for polite words. If I'm wrong, I hope you'll point it out directly."
Her face flushed slightly.
"Your fortune is uncertain throughout your life. Not only is your personality suspicious, but it's also aloof, making it difficult for you to have close friends. You also come across as unapproachable. Therefore, for half your life, you've never consulted with anyone, always making your own decisions. Let me tell you more about your annual fortune."
She started with her arms crossed over her chest, and now she has her hands on the armrests.
"Based on your birth date and your face, I can conclude without hesitation that you are alive and your mother is dead. If I am wrong, please slap me."
Ms. Beth nearly fell off her chair. I doubt she'd ever encountered such a fortune teller. She crossed her arms again, a sign of renewed defensiveness.
"Am I lucky?"
"Not only are you lucky, but you also had a difficult childhood. You were infected with jaundice at birth. Under today's conditions, this might not be a big deal.
But you should have been born in the countryside, delivered by a midwife. You narrowly escaped death, but your mother lost too much blood during childbirth and was unable to receive emergency care, which is why you suffered this misfortune.
She bit her lower lip hard, a subconscious act to control her emotional expression.
"You are destined to be adopted. However, adoption is not possible, so I can conclude that the person who raised you is not your biological father. You were adopted by someone else."
At this point, she put her hands on the armrests again. It can be said that she wanted to shrink into her armor to protect her emotions, but she could no longer do that, so she simply let go and listened to me.
She took a sip of coffee and said, "Sir, your skills are indeed powerful. The first two things are both correct."
Those born in 1977, Ding Si Snakes, are naturally suspicious and aloof. Your unique life experiences have made you sensitive and suspicious since childhood, lamenting the unfairness of fate. Consequently, you are very strong-willed.
You started school at seven. You were incredibly bright and intelligent, always among the top students. At eighteen, there was no doubt you'd pass the exams. As for what university you attended, I can't predict. But your destiny is marked by wealth and seals. If you study finance, you'll be a top student.
“I studied at the School of Finance and Economics.”
I understood what was going on. I slowly leaned back in my chair, smiling slightly, but remained silent.
She and Murong both looked at me, their faces puzzled.
Beth asked, "Is it over?"
I said coldly, "Forget it."
She frowned at first, then stared blankly. Finally, she realized what was going on and said, "I've made many acquaintances with great minds, but I've never met anyone as outspoken as you, sir. If you wouldn't mind, would you please come to my hotel and spend a while?"
I was waiting for her to say this, but I pretended to be reserved: "You're very busy. To put it bluntly, you don't need to calculate your horoscope; you know half of it yourself. Your destiny is actually in your own hands."
She pleaded, "I've come here specifically to hear the master analyze this for me. Please, please, let me go. I want us to have a detailed heart-to-heart talk."
Murong understood Beth's last words and said to me, "Teacher Wan, we must help people to the end. Please talk to Sister Beth in detail."
I said, "In that case, I'd rather obey than be disrespectful."
Beth stood up, and Murong came downstairs to drive us to the Golden Hotel. When we got out of the car, a woman who looked like a bodyguard was already waiting to greet us.
Murong left. Beth led me upstairs.
She was staying in a business suite. The two of them sat down, and the woman made coffee, served fruit, and then closed the door and left.
Beth didn't mince words and asked, "Master, what changes will happen in my life after I graduate from college?"
"Even gods can't predict what exactly happened. I can only tell you that you suffered a great calamity at the age of 32. Your current position..."
I won’t say anymore.
She leaned forward and asked, "Master, what are you saying?"
I said firmly, "You shouldn't be sitting here right now. You should be sitting in jail."
Her face turned pale. She stood up out of habit, pulled the door, closed it, and walked to the window, pulling the curtains tighter.
She sat down and asked, "Master, what is your true identity?"
"The abbot of Taiyi Temple, a simple learner of Taoism, a follower of Taoism, and a researcher of Taoism."
She let out a long breath, patted her chest and said, "Yes, when I was 32, I did something stupid. It's hard to look back on it."
After a while, she asked, "Master, please calculate the outcome for me again."
I said, "You don't need to calculate the ending. Your hometown will always be your hometown. It will only exist in your heart and dreams. You can only wander around outside your hometown for the rest of your life. There's no need to elaborate on the rest. I've said before that your fate is in your own hands. Where to go is up to you."
She stood up and said, "Thank you, Master. I have important matters to attend to in Vientiane today. We'll meet again another day. I have a small reward, which Murong will give to you then. I hope we won't discuss our conversation at the hotel with anyone else."
I clasped my fists and said, "Don't worry, big sister. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have told me their secrets, and I kept them all to myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived this long in the underworld."
"Then we'll talk again some other day. We'll meet again later." She bowed.
I also bowed, and we both said goodbye with fists clasped.
