The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 19

Yu Yuan looked at her, slightly furrowing her brow, "I'll keep it brief. Your parents' palace energy is dark blue with a hint of yellow, indicating they were well cared for by elders. This suggests that your parents passed away early, and you grew up with your grandparents. One of the elders who took care of you passed away just last year, right?"

"A Bite of Meat Bun" slowly lost the confident smile from her face, replaced by shock. "How... how did you know?"

"I know more than that," Yu Yuan glanced at the time, "If you trust me, call a familiar uncle or aunt from home and ask them to go to the back mountain where you were born. Your grandmother is in danger."

[Ahhh! Group Leader, don't trust her! If you call your family now, it's basically admitting you believe her!]

[Admin, please don't be reckless!]

[For Jingxi's sake, hold back! You absolutely cannot fall into Yu Yuan's trap!]

[Ugh, Yu Yuan is so sneaky! She's using your family's safety as a bargaining chip. No matter if something actually happened or not, any normal person would feel the urge to call and check!]

'A Bite of Meat Bun' had already picked up her phone, ready to dial, but the flood of messages in the group chat made her freeze mid-motion.

She hesitated.

They were right—if she called now, wouldn't that mean she actually believed Yu Yuan? But she had literally just talked to her grandma two minutes ago. The old lady was chilling in the yard, stargazing while soaking her feet. How could she suddenly end up at the back mountain?

Regaining her composure, she looked at the ridiculously attractive face on her computer screen and shook her head. "Master Yu, you must've miscalculated. I just spoke with my grandma before our call—she was at home, tidying up and getting ready for bed. There's no way she went to the back mountain."

[Ally detected?]

[Okay, I admit I cursed too aggressively just now... Welp, too late to take it back. May you rest in peace.]

[lololol turns out you're one of us? My bad, almost friendly-fired!]

[Still, maybe just call and check? Better safe than sorry.]

[You didn't even bother checking before making a conclusion. What if something actually happened? Girl, your grandma raised you all these years, and you can't even spare one call?]

[Ugh, parents and grandparents have it so hard... If she dies, her son, daughter-in-law, and boss still have each other, but the granddaughter she raised with so much love won't even make a single phone call.]

A Bite of Meat Bun's face darkened as she stared at the comment section. The first wave of messages from her fellow anti-fans waiting for Yu Yuan's downfall was still understandable. But why were these people so sure that something had actually happened to her grandma?

Wasn't this just straight-up cursing at this point?

She let out a cold laugh and fired back. "You think I'm a heartless ingrate? Did you guys not hear me say that I just called my grandma?!"

"I clearly said Yu Yuan claimed my grandma is at the back mountain, but I literally just talked to her while she was at home. You think I don't know how long it takes to walk from my yard to the back mountain better than you so-called metaphysics fans?"

[Uh... metaphysics fans?]

[Hmmm... that kinda reminds me of last night when we were fighting with a bunch of anti-fans. Glorious memories.]

[HAHAHAHA so you're an anti-fan, huh? No wonder you refuse to call your grandma—just here to stir up trouble!]

[Not that she won't call, more like she doesn't dare to. What if the streamer was actually right? That'd be embarrassing for her idol.]

[Grandma: Wow, what a filial grandchild. Won't even call me just to protect her idol's reputation.]

A Bite of Meat Bun realized she'd been exposed, her face shifting from pale to flushed red. Heat crept from her ears down to her neck.

She had been a fan of Lu Jingxi for years and was definitely skilled in throwing insults. But the problem was—she wasn't behind a keyboard this time. She was on a livestream. On camera.

Yu Yuan glanced at the chaotic comment section but didn't go in for the kill. Instead, she simply said, "No matter who you are, since you paid for a reading, I'll finish it."

A Bite of Meat Bun looked up, surprised.

Based on Yu Yuan's usual personality, she had fully expected to see herself get screenshotted and dragged on Yu Yuan's Weibo for the whole internet to roast. But this time, Yu Yuan had let her off the hook? The sun must have risen from the west today.

Yu Yuan caught the shock in her eyes and curled her lips into a smirk. "The celestial movement at the edge of your eyebrows suggests relocation, and there's a strong energy flow that aligns with your Parents' Palace. Do you have plans to return to your hometown soon?"

"......"

A Bite of Meat Bun's eyes widened in disbelief. It took her a moment before she finally stammered, "H-how... how do you know that?"

She totally didn't expect to get into the livestream call this time. Sure, she and her friends from the fan group had been planning for a while, but no one thought she'd actually be quick enough to snag this fortune-telling opportunity first!

And even if someone around her knew Yu Yuan, how could they possibly know so much? The thing about going back to her hometown... she only told her grandma.

Wait—she told her grandma she was going back home, and then Yu Yuan mentioned that her grandma went to the back mountain...

'A Bite of Meat Bun' felt her fingers trembling as she grabbed her phone and quickly dialed her grandma's number again. The call rang for a long time, but no one picked up.

Her eyes turned red with panic as she started pacing around the room, dialing over and over again. Three, four calls—no answer. In the end, she had no choice but to call her uncle, who lived closer to her grandma.

The livestream audience couldn't hear exactly what 'A Bite of Meat Bun' was saying. Meanwhile, 'Bei Ming You Yu' sat in his car, glancing at his friend beside him—who, in the middle of summer, was bundled up in four or five layers of thick winter clothing. Frost clung to his eyelashes, and every breath he exhaled came out in a puff of white mist, like it was the dead of winter.

It was scorching hot in May, yet he was shivering. With him around, the car didn't even need air conditioning to stay cool.

Seeing the way his friend kept staring at the phone screen with desperate anticipation, 'Bei Ming You Yu' reassured him, "Master Yu is the real deal. Don't worry, I'll ask what's going on."
