Chapter 994: Stereotypes Can Be Deadly
"That woman chatted with me about everyday things for a bit, then, after asking how many people are in our family, she started saying she could tell fortunes."
Jiaojiao said this and couldn’t hold back; she laughed out loud.
Suizi and Yu Jingting laughed too.
Because this trick was all too familiar.
Back when Jiaojiao couldn’t even walk and was still in swaddling clothes, Wang Cuihua was already carrying her around and using this trick to tell fortunes for money.
So when Jiaojiao heard someone in front of her talk about telling fortunes, she really couldn’t hold it in and just laughed.
"She insisted on giving me a reading. I said, ’Sure, go ahead.’ She closed her eyes, her fingers moving back and forth randomly—I almost told her that she wasn’t even pinching her fingers correctly."
Jiaojiao also initially aspired to be a ’great psychic.’ If Suizi hadn’t corrected her, she would still be preoccupied with telling fortunes for others, after all, she did have a head start in the ’charlatan race.’
"What nonsense did she spout?" Yu Jingting asked.
"After her own set of charades, she said the reading showed I didn’t get along with my biological brother, that we fight daily, and that my brother, being a ’Lonely Star of Evil,’ overpowers me. She even saw that my sister-in-law and my brother are of one mind, quarreling with me every day, and she asked if it was accurate."
One couldn’t say that her reading was inaccurate; it was simply irrelevant to the truth.
