The expression on his face froze, as he touched his bald head, somewhat not processing what Mu Yunchu meant.
"No, I mean if you wanted to scam me out of my money, you could at least say something professional,"
"I have such a big son there, if he's not my son, he's your son?"
The viewers in the livestream room started laughing gloatingly.
[Hahaha, I want to ask what state of mind the host was in to ask such a question?]
[I don't understand, really. Such a good opportunity to make money, why are you pissing off the big brother?]
[It's like showing off with an equation in the 1+1 problem, only to get 101 at the end.]
[Exactly, no need to tell fortunes, just make up two nice-sounding names and solve it, why make it hard for yourself?]
Everyone thought she was playing with fire and got burnt.
[I feel like if looks could kill, the host might have been killed by now.]
...
At this moment, his face drooped with his thick, coarse eyebrows knotted together, creating a '川' shape on his forehead.
He already looked fierce, and in this state, he seemed even more terrifying.
He randomly scared two kids on the roadside to tears.
It's reasonable to guess that, if he weren't facing Mu Yunchu, a woman, he would've exploded by now.
He rolled up his non-existent sleeves, crossed his arms, and glared at Mu Yunchu.
"Come on, today explain this to me clearly, or this won't end!"
He threw down his harsh words, then leaned back on his chair to see what Mu Yunchu would say today.
[I'd like to see how the host plans to wrap this up now.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, do you think this big brother will report her?]
[Host, don't say we didn't help you, I have a suggestion. At this moment, just like those dancing streamers, stand up, shake your butt, dance a bit, and then say some sweet words, maybe the big brother will forgive you.]
Mu Yunchu didn't care about the attitude of the people in the livestream room.
She wasn't even very concerned about his reaction.
She merely glanced at the username of the person who posted the latest comment, then repeated her calculated result once more.
"To be clear, this newborn child is not your son."
People who didn't understand might think she was adding fuel to the fire.
He laughed in anger.
He didn't know what Mu Yunchu was up to, but he completely lost interest in continuing talking with her now.
Because he was afraid if they kept on, he might have a heart attack.
"Alright, I'll admit you're tough."
He wanted to cut off the live connection with Mu Yunchu, but due to his shaky hands, he didn't press it the first time, which gave the latter a chance to speak.
"You were born in winter, and it was in the middle of the night."
"The location was a very remote village."
His hand paused in midair, looking at Mu Yunchu with half belief and half doubt. His action to hang up was stopped as well.
The fan in Mu Yunchu's hand waved lazily, the shadow flickered on her face.
"You're not the only son in the family, you have three sisters and a brother above you."
"Unfortunately, your brother was sickly and passed away when he was ten."
Since villages believe in mystical things, they thought your brother was 'taken' by someone, so they specifically changed your name to 'Zhuo'."
"Meaning to 'keep'.", Mu Yunchu looked at him, "Is that right?"
The audience started flooding the screen with shock.
[No way, she can even figure out the name?]
[Could it all be made up?]
[I don't think so, look at the big brother's expression!]
At this moment, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were at least twice as big as before, touching his bald head repeatedly, both amazed and puzzled.
"Really, sister, can you actually tell fortunes?"
These things are absolutely his secrets, he never told anyone, not even his current wife.
One reason was there was no need, another reason was his brother's death was a family sore spot, so he didn't want it to be known.
Yet these things were spoken word for word by Mu Yunchu.
Even if someone investigated him beforehand, they couldn't know so thoroughly.
Then there's only one possibility.
He really happened to come across a fortune-telling host.
Mu Yunchu didn't directly answer his question but spoke out everything she calculated. Because she knew laying facts bare was far more useful than pale explanations.
"You were mischievous since childhood, the one in the family who caused the most worry. At six, you set fire to the neighbor's stacked corn stalks in the fall, nearly burned down the house, making your parents compensate with lots of food stamps."
[Whoa, didn't expect the big brother to be so fierce as a child, respect, respect.]
[Looks so steady now, didn't expect to be such a rascal.]
Talking about the past, his weathered face gradually broke into a smile.
Somewhat embarrassed: "Well, I was young back then."
Mu Yunchu continued: "You didn't go to school much, only attended primary school for two years before quitting to follow your father to do farm work. But you were hard-working, worked fast, helping out a lot at home."
"Later when you grew up, you utilized your daring and adventurous spirit, and came alone to Qinghe City to strive. Coincidence or fate for wealth, you caught the wave just right, started a business, becoming a boss. Not only did life get better and better, but the company also grew bigger and bigger."
Transforming from a rural boy to a company boss over decades.
Those days seemed like yesterday.
He was entirely convinced by Mu Yunchu's ability, speaking candidly.
"That's how it was, I initially started by leasing cars, then rented out cars myself, gradually improved condition, and then opened a company to do a ride-hailing app."
Though there are many in this line later, he occupied a niche due to starting early.
[!!!]
[Whoa! This isn't just a big brother; he's a big shot!]
[I just screenshotted and searched his picture online, guess what? This guy's name is actually on the country's wealthy list!]
[!!! That impressive???]
He waved his hand.
"Not anymore now."
"It's the young people's era now."
He views such things openly, the wealth amassed enough for several family generations, now just seeking well-being, living a life by ordinary folks 'with a wife and children by a warm stove', long since retired to the background.
Maybe the conversation with Mu Yunchu was too absorbing, he even forgot about the fortune details she gave him earlier, only recalling after seeing the livestream comments.
[Wait... did you all forget something? If the host's statements were accurate, then didn't she say big brother only has one son... ]
He didn't finish, but everyone obviously understood what it meant.
Even his face turned much paler.
Looking at Mu Yunchu nervously and helplessly, completely different from before, "So, he's really not my son?"
The mere thought of the baby boy he anticipated for ten months not being biologically related, he instantly aged decades.
Mu Yunchu's eyes flickered, took a sip from a cup of hot water, just enough to hide the emotion in her eyes.
"Not entirely unrelated."
"Though he's not your son, he is your grandson."
[???]
