The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 46

His head was still full of what Master Yu told him last night. Normally, he'd be all hyped for a spooky exploration shoot, but right now? Not feeling it at all.

Seeing Zhou Yu so spaced out, the blue-haired "boss" frowned, sounding vaguely concerned.

"Brother Yu, are you feeling okay? If you're sick or something, you don't have to come with us. Your health comes first, man."

"...Nah." Zhou Yu finally snapped out of it and gave a lopsided grin. "I'm not sick. Just thinking about what happened last night."

"Last night?"

Blue-hair made a face like he already knew it was gonna be weird. Yellow and Green perked up instantly, buzzing with curiosity.

"What happened last night, Brother Yu? Spill the details!"

"Did you hit the bar and bag a hottie or what? How far did it go?"

Zhou Yu, stuck in the middle of their circle: "..."

Didn't bag any hotties. Did run into a couple ghosts though...

"Oh right—" He suddenly remembered last night's warning. Glancing again at the haunted high school building behind them, a chill crept down his spine. "When you guys go in, seriously—don't do anything disrespectful to spirits, alright? I mean it."

Blue-hair tucked his phone away, scratched his head, and looked a little impatient—but didn't mouth off this time. "Brother Yu, you seriously believe in this stuff? ...Wait, no, you always believed in this stuff."

He looked half amused, half whatever about it. Zhou Yu was about to nag him again when they heard the roar of motorbikes.

Seeing that smug, cocky look on his face, Zhou Yu was about to say something else, when he spotted a group of boys from a distance, riding in on sleek, badass motorbikes. They came to a smooth stop right at the gates of the abandoned school campus.

The boy in the lead took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face damp with sweat. He glanced around the group standing near the blue-haired guy, then let out an exaggerated "Yo," and said, "Looks like our Four Musketeers aren't all here today. Where's that Wang Xiaopang?"

The boy next to him took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and chimed in, "You haven't heard, Brother Bei? Wang Xiaopang's dad suddenly died. Some big-shot from the Celestial Master Hall said it was because of some kind of backfire from raising a ghost child... Poor Wang Xiaopang, man. His dad left behind a bunch of illegitimate kids. He's probably at home right now fighting them over the inheritance!"

"Damn, that's rough!" Tang Xiangbei raised his voice in exaggerated shock, then shot a gleeful look at the blue-haired boy. "Lu Yan, your best bro's family is going through hell and you're not even helping out?"

"Young Master Lu's too busy challenging this and that every day. Where's he gonna find time to help his bestie?"

The two of them were clearly in sync, bouncing off each other like a rehearsed comedy act. Meanwhile, the blue-haired guy they called "Lu Yan" was already so pissed his fists were clenched tight and cracking.

Off to the side, the yellow-haired and green-haired guys jumped up, faces full of anger. "Tang Xiangbei, what the hell's your problem? You think our boss, young master of the Lu family from Shancheng, should stoop to arguing with a bunch of illegitimate kids? If anyone should feel embarrassed, it's us for even listening to you!"

Tang Xiangbei's laugh suddenly stopped. He widened his eyes in mock surprise. "Wait, you guys seriously haven't heard the latest Lu family big news? Turns out his so-called sister isn't even related by blood. His mom ditched her real daughter just to ride his fake sister's celeb fame. If we're talking about who should be embarrassed..."

"Enough!"

Before Tang Xiangbei could finish, Lu Yan cut him off with a cold shout, glaring at him with eyes full of anger. "Tang Xiangbei, I invited you here for a challenge in the old campus—not to stand here and talk crap about my family! Say one more thing about my sister and I swear I'll throw hands!"

"Throw hands?" Tang Xiangbei's expression turned cold in a flash. "What, the great Lu family can't take a few words now?"

Just as things between the two young masters were getting seriously heated, Zhou Yu—who had been ready for this—let out a loud "tsk" and stepped between them.

"I'm from the Zhou family of Shancheng. I'm sure you've heard of us. I'm a few years older than you guys, so let's just settle this quick, alright? We'll head in, get it done, and bounce."

"Yeah, I've heard of the Zhou family. But you—" Tang Xiangbei turned his handsome face with a scowl, ready to throw out a jab, but the second he saw Zhou Yu's face, he stopped short.

"Wait a sec!" He grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and stared hard at his face. "Aren't you that unlucky dude who showed up in Master Yu's livestream yesterday?!"

Zhou Yu, who had just been happy to meet another fan of his master: "...Hey, what the hell, who are you calling unlucky?"

The lackeys who came with Tang Xiangbei recognized him too, eyes lighting up. "Yo! It is him! I remember that face!"

"He's the one who was hugging a giant rooster in the backseat, right?"

"The guy who got scared by a ghost and cried?"

Zhou Yu: "I didn't cry! And I definitely wasn't scared!"

But no one was listening. Tang Xiangbei and his crew stared at him like they were watching a monkey at the zoo. After they had their fill of gawking, Tang finally slapped his shoulder and said, "Didn't Master Yu tell you to get more sun yesterday? Why the hell are you still hanging around places like this?"

He rolled his eyes at the slightly confused Lu Yan, then turned back to Zhou Yu with a serious tone. "That Lu kid's kinda dumb, but you better listen up. Word is, the old campus got abandoned because someone jumped off a building back in the day. What if there are ghosts in there?"

Zhou Yu patted his camera, looking smug. "I'm here to run into ghosts, thank you very much! Master Yu said I've got a connection with her. She told me if anything weird happens again, I should go straight to her livestream!"

I mean, if he didn't show up a few more times, how would his master ever recognize his potential?

If he wanted her to see his talent, he'd have to run into ghosts more often and make sure to show up in front of her again and again!

Tang Xiangbei didn't catch on to what Zhou Yu was scheming. "Okay, but what if you do run into a ghost and Master Yu's livestream isn't on? Then what?"

Zhou Yu's smile froze. "......"

He let out a couple of awkward coughs. "Well, I... I obviously have other ways..."
