Chapter 279 - 280: Unfilial
The girl raised her eyebrows smugly, a hint of pride in her eyes.
’She knew this streamer was the real deal.’
Forget about her ripping ghosts apart with her bare hands—just look at her fortune-telling. Her accuracy rate was a hundred percent. ’Getting her to divine a lottery number should be a piece of cake.’
And when the girl asked her question, the chat immediately lit up.
[Hey, yeah, why didn’t I think of that?]
[Damn it, I’ve only ever dreamed about doing that. I can’t believe she actually went for it first.]
[If the streamer really tells her, I’ll go crazy with jealousy.]
[I also really want Fortuna, but I doubt the streamer will actually say anything.]
"So? What do you say, Master? Can you divine this for me?"
The girl was beaming. The shrewdness in her eyes, however, ruined the beauty of her otherwise sweet-looking face.
Su Nian shook her head.
Looking at the girl’s features made her uneasy. Her face was a textbook case of selfishness.
She had the face of someone who showed no regard for others. But thinking of the girl’s mother, Su Nian offered a tactful reminder.
"Have you noticed anything strange about your mother?"
[The streamer never says things without a reason. Could her mom be a ghost?]
[Can you not let your imagination run so wild? I bet her mother has some health problems.]
[What if her mother is actually a bad person?]
[Could she be some kind of murderer hiding in the city?]
"Strange? What could be strange about her? What could possibly be wrong with that old hag? Did she turn into a ghost, or is she sick and about to die?"
A flicker of confusion crossed the girl’s face, but the words that followed immediately made the faces of the viewers in the stream darken.
[What the hell? The way this woman talks is so nasty.]
[I can’t believe this. Didn’t they say her mother is divorced and raised her with her stepfather?]
[What the heck, why does it feel like she’s so ungrateful?]
[Maybe her mom is actually mean to her.]
Su Nian shook her head and continued, "You’ve always loved money, but your mother has had an average fortune her whole life. Your stepfather, on the other hand, is wealthy. You get along well with him because he has money, right?"
"Yeah, that’s right!"
The girl nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world and even offered her own take on it.
"In this world, whoever has money is the boss. My mom has no money. I don’t even want to take care of her when she gets old."
"If she hadn’t gotten lucky and married my dad, what would she be? Nothing."
The girl’s self-righteous and shameless expression once again shattered the viewers’ moral compasses.
[I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone *this* shameless.]
[I’m speechless. What kind of toxic ’princess’ is this?]
[She’s talking like that about the mother who worked so hard to raise her?]
[Damn it, this makes me want to reach through the screen and slap her a few times.]
Su Nian’s expression turned cold.
"I can’t divine what you want. You should leave."
The girl’s face fell instantly. Seeing Su Nian shake her head, she stood up indignantly.
"What do you mean, Master? Are you refusing to help me or something?"
"Aren’t you supposed to be an amazing fortune-teller? How can you not even divine a lottery number for me?!"
Su Nian gave her a careless, sidelong glance, her tone laced with impatience.
"I can only divine things related to you personally. You are not fated to win the lottery, so how do you expect me to divine a number for you?"
"That’s not how it works! Aren’t you able to divine anything? What’s so hard about a lottery number?"
Su Nian shook her head, her face growing colder, her beautiful features tinged with annoyance.
"I can only divine things related to you. Asking me to pull lottery numbers out of thin air... I can only say you’re delusional."
Su Nian had always been blunt. Hearing this, the girl’s eyebrows shot up.
Her tone was furious, and she began to speak recklessly. "You’re no fun at all! I ask you to divine one thing and you make all these demands. Did I not pay you enough?"
[Yeah, I think what the streamer said makes total sense. If she doesn’t have the luck for wealth, where is the streamer supposed to get a lottery number for her?]
[Seriously. If she can’t do it, she can’t do it. Is it necessary to be so aggressive?]
[Ugh, you’re not supposed to do it at all, okay?]
[Exactly. If she breaks the rules for you today, even more people will come and bother the streamer in the future. You’re already lucky enough to spend a few thousand yuan to meet a Master like her, okay?]
Su Nian shook her head and said calmly, "If you don’t want a reading, then you can get lost."
Hearing Su Nian’s blunt words, the girl became even more furious, continuing to mutter foul curses under her breath.
"This is ridiculous! You don’t even know how to do business. I already paid you, and now you won’t do your job! Then give me my money back."
Su Nian’s tolerance for idiots was usually high. Without a word, she transferred the money back to her.
The girl’s mouth was still spewing filth.
From the sweet-looking girl at the beginning to this snarling, foul-mouthed person she was now—the transformation was truly hideous.
[I can’t believe it. She has no class at all. No matter what, you don’t just keep cursing someone out like that.]
[Forget it, she’s just a moron.]
[The streamer must be speechless on the inside.]
[The streamer’s probably thinking, ’How did I run into someone like this? She’s got some nerve, shamelessly asking for this and that.’]
[This isn’t about having nerve, this is just being fucking shameless. Who in their right mind would make a request like that?]
[Hey, not only did she ask, she’s blaming the streamer for not doing it for her.]
The girl received the money and turned to leave. Su Nian watched her go, a smile playing on her lips. This girl’s bad luck was coming for her, and soon.
Based on the facial features Su Nian had read, the girl was also prone to throwing unreasonable tantrums at home.
She had enjoyed her family’s generosity since childhood but had never done a single thing to repay them.
A person like that wouldn’t give her family even ten thousand yuan if she won ten million.
And very soon, her retribution would arrive.
In Su Nian’s vision, she could see the girl’s general fate: destitute, alone, and helpless in her old age.
’After the girl gets home, she’ll fail to get her chance at Fortuna from me and throw a huge fit.’
’She’ll get into a massive fight with her mother, who will finally see her for who she truly is and cut ties with her.’
’Without the protection of her family, a girl who spends money like water and is lazy by nature will not have an easy life ahead of her.’
And as for right now... Su Nian watched her leave, still cursing foully under her breath.
The moment she stepped through the door, SMACK! She tripped and fell flat on her face.
The sound of her hitting the ground was loud. Su Nian could tell she had probably broken a bone.
"I told you to watch your mouth."
Su Nian frowned, looking down at her with a superior air as she scanned her from head to toe.
She let out a soft scoff, then picked up a peach and took a bite.
