Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Destined to have no children
"Haha, a little girl like you dares to play 'Heavenly Master' here," the fat man sneered as he spoke, "How old are you even? Impossible you started learning divination from the womb!"
At this time, as Zhong Niangyao and the fat man confronted each other, many onlookers had also gathered around. In fact, from the moment Nianyao appeared on Tongtian Bridge, there had already been quite a crowd.
Looking around, those who set up stalls here at Tongtian Bridge were almost all elderly sirs with graying hair. A young girl like Zhong Niangyao appearing in this place naturally seemed quite out of place.
The fat man was quite well-known in this area. His name was Qi Lei, a small contractor who made a bit of money over the years. However, his fame was not because of this, but because he had already married his third wife and yet had no children.
Over the years, Qi Lei had spent a lot of effort and money attempting to have a child, but obviously without any success.
In previous years, to have a child, Qi Lei was scammed out of hundreds of thousands by a swindler on Tongtian Bridge. So, his sudden appearance at the stall was definitely meant to make trouble.
Zhong Niangyao looked up indifferently at the man opposite, "It doesn't matter whether I can tell fortunes or not, what matters is whether you believe in my divination. If you believe, then I'll do it. If not, there's no need for any of us to waste our time."
While speaking, Zhong Niangyao pointed at a sign on the table which read "Three divinations daily, only for those predestined."
"Hahaha, you sure talk big!" Qi Lei laughed loudly, his smile filled with disdain, "Girl, I believe you, but if your prediction is not accurate, then I will overturn your stall today."
Zhong Niangyao's expression remained unchanged, "Fine, what would you like to know?"
"Little girl, since you say you're so divine, then help me figure out when I'll finally have a child," Qi Lei demanded outright, "You better be careful with your words, I'm not one to pamper women."
"Your palace of children is dim, plus when you were younger, you didn't take care of your body, indulged in smoking and drinking, which ruined your health. It might not show, but you are actually suffering from kidney deficiency and blood depletion, there's absolutely no chance for you to have children," Zhong Niangyao looked up at Qi Lei, "So, you are destined not to have children."
"Nonsense."
Qi Lei slammed the table with force, sending a shocking noise through the air; he immediately stood up, his entire demeanor fierce and intimidating as if ready to strike at any moment, "You utter charlatan, today I'm going to teach you a lesson."
With that, he moved to overturn the table.
Old Man Yang, who also had a stall nearby, came over at once, trying to broker peace. He knew that Zhong Niangyao truly had skills.
Just then, Qi Lei's phone suddenly rang, and he answered it.
After listening to the person on the other end, all the anger on his face instantly vanished, and he visibly became ecstatic.
After hanging up the phone, when he looked again at Zhong Niangyao, his eyes were filled with triumph, "Haha, you little girl, still trying to act like a diviner here. Didn't you just say I'm destined to have no children? Well, let me tell you now, my wife is pregnant."
"You charlatan, seems like your words are about to be proven wrong immediately!"
His expression was as joyful as if he had won the lottery. Perhaps for him, today's good news was even more thrilling than winning the lottery.
The crowd around also looked at Zhong Niangyao with doubt.
After all, she had just declared him destined not to have children, and now his wife turns out to be pregnant. Wasn't this a clear slap in the face? Although there had been many frauds before, being proven wrong so quickly was still quite rare.
However, Zhong Niangyao seemed utterly unfazed by this.
Her expression unchanging, her eyes even held a hint of sympathy, she rested her chin in her hand and looked at Qi Lei, "Yes! Your wife is pregnant, but what does that have to do with you?"
With these words, Qi Lei's face instantly clouded over, looking ready to storm at any moment.
He stared at Zhong Niangyao, clenching his teeth as he spoke, "What do you mean? Are you saying that the child my wife is carrying isn't mine?"
No man could accept the sting of being cuckolded. Especially not someone with Qi Lei's macho ego.
"Your hat does seem a bit green," Zhong Niangyao glanced towards the top of Qi Lei's head, nodding seriously, "Do you still want to continue? I can identify the culprit right now. But that will cost you extra!"
The first divination was free because she was in a good mood. This time, however, there would be a charge.
