AMRWFA -Chapter 215 Encountering the Poor Little One Whose Life Has Been Stolen Again

“I know. It’s written on your sign,” Ruan Yaoyao said, pointing at the placard in front of Li Haidong.

Li Haidong looked embarrassed. “I… I forgot!”

“I can read fortunes. Do you believe me?”

Li Haidong: ?…!

“Looks like you don’t believe me.”

Li Haidong wanted to say: Are the hobbies of rich patrons always this strange?

Thankfully she was a woman, otherwise she would’ve thought the patron was trying to “buy her services.”

“It’s okay if you don’t believe me. Let me ask you this—were you born on XXX year X month X day at 12:43 noon? The reason I remember the time so clearly is because on the day you were born, your father almost got into a car accident…”

Li Haidong’s eyes instantly widened.

It was one thing to know her date of birth—after all, it was on her resume—but not only did this person know the exact time, she even knew what happened on the day she was born?!

This…

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t stop and continued: “Because of that, relatives at home all said you were a jinx reincarnated, almost killed your father. Even your grandparents once disliked you, afraid you would bring misfortune to the family. Luckily, nothing bad happened afterward. Plus, you were your parents’ only daughter, and your parents’ careers kept improving, earning more money and face for the family. Gradually, your grandparents started to like you too. Don’t look at how young you were—you always remembered this incident and kept some distance from your grandparents. What truly made you let go was when you were sixteen. Your grandfather passed away, and people once again called you a jinx, saying you caused his death. It was your grandmother who stood in front of you and scolded them all back. From then on, your relationship with your grandmother improved.”

Li Haidong’s voice trembled. “You… how do you know this? Did you… investigate me?”

“Even if I did investigate you, it couldn’t possibly be this detailed,” Ruan Yaoyao said, glancing at the “information page” above Li Haidong’s head.

【I think I might really be able to tell fortunes.】

Ruan Zhihe said matter-of-factly: You already can!

【Before, I had to see the person in detail and carefully open the info page to see everything.】

【But now it’s different. Just seeing the person, even without opening the page, I can already see a lot.】

【It feels amazing—summary view or detailed view, like a satellite map, zoom in and out at will…】

【Like it’s instinct!】

She glanced at others nearby—those without “labels” above their heads.

【I can even see their fate lines too!】

【It’s just that their lives are like plain boiled water—nothing interesting.】

This time, even Ruan Zhihe’s pupils widened in shock.

Only now did she understand that what “fortune-telling” meant was this.

Could cultivation really make such a huge difference?!

This was too magical!

“Then… then how did you know all this?” Li Haidong asked, immediately regretting it, because the other party had already answered—she could read fortunes.

Ugh…

Was she being teased?

Or… could she really help her figure out why she had been so unlucky lately?

Ruan Yaoyao rested her chin on her hand.

“I told you—I can read fortunes.”

【Pretending to be a fortune teller is actually kind of fun!】

【I’ve decided! From now on, I’m a fortune teller!】

Ruan Zhihe: “……”

Auntie, you already are one. You’re not pretending at all.

Facepalm.

How did she even develop such a misunderstanding?

In Ruan Yaoyao’s imagination, a fortune teller was: white beard + blind old man + street stall + tools.

But in Ruan Zhihe’s eyes, the living fortune teller was: I can see your fate lines!

“So,” Li Haidong gathered her courage and asked, “can you tell me why I’ve been so unlucky lately?”

“You’re not just unlucky,” Ruan Yaoyao said calmly. “You’re about to lose your life. Do you understand?”

Li Haidong froze. “L-lose my life? Am I possessed?”

“No. Your life has been borrowed.”

“In other words, you originally had decades left to live. But because someone wanted more lifespan, they borrowed yours. So now you’ll die in their place—and even suffer backlash, which is why you’ve been so unlucky.”

“Borrowed life?”

What kind of nonsense was that?

Li Haidong felt like cursing on the spot. She was in her twenties, young and full of life—who was harming her like this?!

If she found them…

She quickly asked, “Can you solve it? Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for nothing. I don’t have money now, but if you help me, I’ll earn money and pay you back.”

“You said it. No backing out!”

“I swear!”

She raised four fingers.

Ruan Yaoyao smiled, almost laughing out loud.

【Hahaha… I’ve found a treasure who can make money!】

【Don’t worry, I’ll save you. I’m still counting on you to make me rich.】

【Hehe! Hand it over to the country daddy so it can fund me!】

“Once you make a vow, you can’t break it,” Ruan Yaoyao reminded her. She then told her to extend her hand and quickly drew a symbol in her palm.

It was unclear if it was just Li Haidong’s imagination, but after the last stroke, a golden rune actually appeared, flashed once, and then sank into her palm and disappeared.

Ruan Zhihe: “……”

She was numb. She had seen it too many times to be surprised anymore.

But this still had to be reported to the higher-ups—Auntie could now draw talismans out of thin air.

Even though I have no idea when she learned it.

Ruan Yaoyao: I don’t know either!

It just felt like instinct!

After finishing, Ruan Yaoyao finally realized she might have done something extraordinary.

But since she couldn’t figure it out, she simply let it go and leaned closer to Li Haidong.

“After you go back today, cut a strand of your hair, burn it facing your hometown direction, and recite a phrase while burning it…”

Li Haidong’s heart pounded. “That’s it?”

“That’s just the first step. After you do this, you’ll receive a call from your hometown saying your grandmother is critically ill and asking you to return.”

Ruan Yaoyao looked into her eyes seriously.

“When you go back, remember to notify me. I’ll go with you.”

A bad feeling rose in Li Haidong’s heart.

A call from home… saying her grandmother was critically ill again?

Suddenly, she remembered that last time, she also received a call like that and rushed back.

Then she slept beside her grandmother for one night—and her grandmother recovered.

But afterward, she started losing hair, suffering insomnia, as if she were cursed with misfortune…

“You’ve already guessed who is borrowing your life, haven’t you?”

“No way! She… she’s my grandmother.”

Her voice was pale, her denial weak.

Because even she didn’t believe what she was saying.

Ruan Yaoyao shrugged casually.

“Whether it is or not, you’ll find out when you go back. Remember to notify me. Don’t go alone—you can’t handle this kind of thing.”

【I just don’t want to admit I’m going to eat some gossip.】

Ruan Zhihe: …I knew it!
