Chapter 280 - 281: Mom Is on Dad’s Back
Irritated, the girl instinctively started blaming Su Nian.
"Can’t you just call an ambulance for me? Are you blind, or what?"
Su Nian shook her head, acting as if she hadn’t heard a word.
She went back to munching on her peach, even nonchalantly tossing the pit into a nearby trash bag.
The girl muttered indignantly under her breath, ’"Don’t bully the young and poor?" What a snob, looking down on people. Just wait until I’m rich, I’ll show you!’
She took it for granted that she would be rich one day, seemingly forgetting her current predicament.
As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Mom, I fell. Can you come check on me?"
"I can’t move by myself. You need to take me to the hospital right now!"
Watching this girl, who was acting like a giant baby, made Su Nian’s opinion of her sink even lower.
Meanwhile, most of the viewers in the livestream chat were also cursing her out.
[People like that will definitely get what’s coming to them.]
[I’m speechless. What kind of person is she?!]
[Is that how she talks to her mom? If she were my kid, she’d be getting a factory reset today!]
[If that was my kid, I’d have to whoop her, or I couldn’t call myself her mom!]
Su Nian watched her coldly, perched high and mighty in her rocking chair.
"Do me a favor and get out to make your call. Don’t do it here."
Su Nian’s words were completely devoid of human warmth. A flash of venomous hatred crossed the girl’s eyes.
She wanted to start screaming curses, but when she met Su Nian’s sharp gaze, she inexplicably lost her nerve.
She hopped out with great difficulty. By the time she was outside, she was drenched in sweat, but Su Nian didn’t even spare her a glance.
"Damn it, what kind of ’master’ is she? She’s just a fraud who can’t even predict lottery numbers!"
She was still muttering profanities when, a second later, she took another huge tumble right at the entrance.
When her mother arrived and took her to the hospital, even the doctor was astonished.
Who falls twice in one day and manages to fracture both an arm and a leg?
"That fucking master must have cursed me, it has to be her! When I recover, I’m going to get her back for this!"
"Can’t you give me a break? I’m exhausted from work!"
"Stop trying to guilt-trip me! Why are you the one who came? Where’s my dad? Get my dad, he has money! You’re broke, what are you even here for?"
Su Nian was unaware of the argument in the hospital. She was now facing another visitor—a little boy.
This time, a chubby little boy with a round, sturdy-looking face walked in.
But strangely, he wasn’t accompanied by any parents.
After hearing the sound of Su Nian’s bell, he poked his head in and entered cautiously. The moment he saw Su Nian, he froze.
"Wow, Miss, you’re so pretty! You’re really, really pretty!"
The little boy’s tone was full of awe. Paired with his cute, impish expression, he was utterly endearing.
But Su Nian’s brow furrowed in an instant.
It was simply because the boy’s facial features were too bizarre.
Moreover, he was shrouded in a thick aura of death, as if he had recently spent a long time with a dead person.
’But how would a child this young have the chance to be around the dead?’
[Aww, what a cute little cub! He’s a hundred times cuter than that last brat!]
[Come here, come here, let Auntie smother you with kisses!]
[Such a little baby. Does he know to come for a fortune-telling at this age?]
[At his age, he should really be trusting in science, you know.]
Su Nian concealed the probing look in her eyes and asked in a gentle tone, "Do you have any money, little one?"
[Nice, the streamer is as pragmatic as ever!]
[Hahahaha, streamer, you’re killing me!]
The boy nodded firmly.
"I do! My mom loves watching your livestreams the most. She gave me money. I have a problem now, so I wanted to come and have you tell my fortune."
As he spoke, the boy took out a card and handed it to Su Nian.
"There’s a thousand yuan in this card. That’s a lot!"
His proud little expression made the viewers in the livestream chat burst out laughing again.
[Oh my god, he’s so cute!]
[Look at how proud he is. I just want to pinch his cheeks!]
[I gotta say, he really is rich. I’m already working and I haven’t saved a single yuan.]
[You can tell just by looking at him that he’s a child who grew up surrounded by love. His mother must be an especially kind person.]
After taking the card, Su Nian pulled out a POS machine and asked, "PIN?"
The boy, trying to act grown up, swayed his head like a little adult, even though he was only seven or eight.
"My mom told me my PIN is six zeros."
He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss, be quiet about it. Don’t tell anyone else. My mom said this is a secret that only she and I can know."
Faced with such an adorable little one, even Su Nian couldn’t help but let her eyes crinkle into a smile as she whispered, "Okay."
Once the payment went through, Su Nian had him sit down properly.
The boy carefully put the card back in his pants pocket and sat upright on the chair.
His obedient posture made him look just like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to start class.
Su Nian asked another question, "So how did you get here?"
The little boy tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"A few days ago, my mom said her eyebrow was twitching a lot and she had a bad feeling. She said we had to come see you, that you’re super, super accurate."
"She also said that everything you say is true. Then my mom was going to bring me to see you, but we didn’t come because my dad wanted to have pork rib soup."
"We waited in line outside for a really, really long time, but it was never our turn, so Mom took me home."
Su Nian nodded with a smile, but if you looked closely, there was no trace of mirth in her eyes.
This was because Su Nian could see with perfect clarity that in the part of the boy’s face representing his parents, the area for his mother was shrouded in black qi, signifying she was already dead.
And his father’s side was no better. It was tainted with a gray aura that was growing stronger.
His father was facing imminent jail time, and his mother was already dead.
Su Nian’s heart grew heavy, but the chat comments were still gushing over how cute the child was.
[I’m not even exaggerating, I could just smooch that little face all day long.]
[So fair, so soft, so tender. I really want to kiss him.]
[I don’t know why, but I feel like he’s a little dirty, like he hasn’t washed his hair or face properly in a few days.]
[Maybe his mom’s been busy lately. Besides, kids are mischievous, sometimes you just can’t keep up.]
Su Nian smiled and patted his head. "You’re pretty smart, then, knowing to run over here all by yourself. What did you want to have divined today?"
Hearing this, the little boy seemed to finally remember his purpose for coming.
He tilted his head and frowned, his round eyes full of confusion.
"I don’t know why, but for the past few days, my dad has been carrying my mom on his back. He keeps asking me why I don’t look for Mom. It’s so weird. Isn’t my mom right there on his back?"
