Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Slaughter Pig Platter
Jiang Li gave Xu Huiqiu a aningful look and finally voiced the first “but” of the day—
“But…”
The audience in the live broadcast room instantly held their breath.
Here it cos, the juicy gossip is finally here!
“While your Fire and Gold elents are prosperous, your destiny is afflicted by the Seven Killings, which symbolizes masculinity. This not only shows that you have a strong personality but also indicates you have poor luck with the opposite sex. Looking at your fortunes, you apparently haven’t dated much,” Jiang Li said. “I’ll be frank, your marital prospects aren’t looking good either.”
Xu Huiqiu wasn’t upset, after all, love and marriage weren’t her top priorities, but she still couldn’t help exclaiming imdiately.
“Master is truly divine, I’ve always had poor romantic luck, and I’ve never been confessed to before.”
And so, the comnts section picked up again.
[As expected, my other half is reserved for .]
[Sister, I like you, marry please!]
“However…” As Xu Huiqiu spoke, she revealed a shy smile, “I’ve had so romantic encounters recently.”
Jiang Li nodded in agreent, “I noticed that, do you need to calculate it for you?”
“Yes.”
A dozen seconds later, Jiang Li opened his eyes and said, “This so-called romantic encounter you ntioned, you t online, right? Indeed, there is a romantic star in your recent fortunes, but it’s hidden in the Xu storehouse; Xu being the fire storehouse, and your Four Pillars of Destiny this year also show fire. This shows that you t at a long distance, in the virtual world.”
“Yes, yes, we t online, but not entirely, it was an online comrcial event, we were both invited guests, and one thing led to another, and we got acquainted.”
Xu Huiqiu obviously felt deeply about this man, as she started talking non-stop about how the two of them t.
“… We hit it off, he also runs a pet hospital, loves animals, and likes to travel in his free ti. He even shared many pictures of the places he had visited, and it turns out I’ve been to almost all of them. Don’t you think we’re really ant to be?”
They had known each other for three months, and during these months, they had talked over the phone myriad tis.
Xu Huiqiu initially didn’t trust the internet, yet the man attended to her ticulously; if she was craving coffee, it would already be ordered to her doorstep, if she was hungry her favorite food would imdiately appear in front of her, even her occasional midnight musings received prompt emotional support from him.
While the audience in the comnt section was marveling at this sweet middle-aged love story, and praising Mr. Xu for achieving both in career and love, Jiang Li solemnly added:
“You indeed have a connection, but this connection has been artificially created.”
Xu Huiqiu: ?
“What do you an?”
“From what I see, this year is unfavorable for you, a major calamity awaits, and this trouble is caused by soone scheming against you. This just coincides with the ti and circumstances of the person you t online. His intentions aren’t pure, and it involves soone close to you.”
Xu Huiqiu: !!!
How could this be?!
She instantly beca cautious.
Although the sweet taste of love pleased her, when compared to her business and wealth, love was completely trivial.
“Master,” Xu Huiqiu said nervously, “he’s not after my money, is he? But that shouldn’t be, the guest information from the trade event is verifiable, his net worth is comparable to mine.”
Just a week ago, he had sent her a birthday gift, the sa jade necklace she was wearing around her neck. She even had it appraised, and this piece of green jade was worth at least 3 million on the market, and that day she also received 9999 pink roses.
Seeing the roses almost filling up her house, Xu Huiqiu felt her lost youth reignite.
This was also why she was willing to get to know this man further—who else would spend both ti and money like this if not soone sincere?
“Identities can be fabricated,” Jiang Li said lightly. “Moreover, if his intention was to target you from the start, then these acts can be even more deceiving. Don’t you think it’s a bit too good to be true how well he matches with you?”
[Damn, now that Sister Li ntions it, I also feel rather frightened. How can soone’s preferences match perfectly with another person’s?]
[Perfect is problematic! There’s no such thing as perfect in this world! Sisters in the live broadcast, be careful!]
[True, if a seemingly perfect man appears, your first reaction should be: Run!]
Xu Huiqiu fell silent, ticulously recalling the details of their interactions.
With the passion of hormones fading, what remained was cold logic.
“Now that you ntion it, it does make sense. I’m straightforward, and if I feel sothing, I will act on it. I’ve suggested eting up, but every ti it was canceled due to various unexpected events. I didn’t think much of it before since I am quite busy myself, but now thinking back, it indeed seems suspicious.”
If she really wanted to et him, she could hire a private jet to his ho right now.
But that man hadn’t shown any intention of making similar gestures, relying solely on texts to express his affection.
Jiang Li pondered for a mont and asked, “Have any of your close acquaintances shown anything unusual recently? Does anyone know about his existence, or are particularly interested in your interactions?”
Xu Huiqiu was about to say no, but suddenly it struck her, and she hit the table, “Yes, my cousin, she’s quite interested in our dynamics.”
Her cousin was her uncle’s daughter, who was studying in the Capital and lived with her.
Living in a big, empty house was quite lonely, so she simply let her move in.
Her cousin was adorable and in the pri of her youth. One day, accidentally, Xu Huiqiu ca across her chat history with that man and her cousin bombarded her with questions.
Xu Huiqiu disliked others prying into her private matters, but her cousin claid she was really into their ‘ship’ and begged her to satisfy her curiosity.
After understanding the anings behind these nas, Xu Huiqiu turned a blind eye and even started actively sharing details of their interactions, always receiving exuberant responses from her cousin.
Thinking back now, praising an unknown man so highly was indeed strange.
“… Right, and what’s even stranger is that before I didn’t notice, but now that you ntion it, I see sothing’s off,” Xu Huiqiu said. “The reason we never t in person is partly because of my cousin.”
The first ti they planned a date, her cousin suddenly had a stomachache, and she had to take her to the hospital and watch over her.
The last failed date was because an issue suddenly cropped up at her cousin’s school requiring parental presence, but just as she arrived, the eting dissolved.
She was puzzled at the ti, but now it seed like all the dots were connecting.
Jiang Li’s expression beca profound, “That’s because your cousin has been in cahoots with this man from the start—they are setting you up for a swindle.”
A so-called “pig-butchering scam”.
