Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling

Chapter 323 - 324: He Is Waiting for You at Home

As he spoke, the man’s expression grew more terrified. His lips began to tremble uncontrollably, and his face turned pale.

Su Nian frowned. ’A person inside a vat?’ This was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

The man’s expression grew even more fearful.

"And you have no idea what it was like! That dead man was just slumped over inside the water vat. I couldn’t wake him no matter how much I yelled. I was so scared!"

[There was someone inside? Oh my god, I’ve never heard of or seen anything like this before!]

[What kind of crazy stunt is that?]

[Maybe that person wasn’t a person at all, but a ghost!]

[I think this ghost is asking for a beating. Why would it just sit in the middle of the road, stuffed inside a vat?]

The viewers’ discussion grew more intense, but the man’s expression only became more terrified. He was trembling.

"Host, I don’t know why this is happening. Why did that ghost have to latch onto me?"

As he spoke, his expression grew even more fearful, and he even shivered involuntarily.

But Su Nian’s expression was somewhat cold. Looking at him, she asked a different question.

"Why did you smash the vat?"

"The vat was blocking me! It was in the way! That’s why I smashed it. Host, you know how it is, you must understand!"

"It was pitch black, and I was terrified, so I just smashed it!"

Su Nian was silent. She said nothing.

The man continued to explain, talking to himself about how dark the night was and how terrified he had been.

In truth, looking at it from his perspective alone, there were no holes in his story.

The viewers in the live stream chat were also a little confused.

[Why is the Host so hung up on this question?]

[It seems pretty normal, actually. If it were me, I probably would have smashed it too.]

[I mean, he couldn’t keep up with the car in front, his phone had no signal... He must have been in a total panic. Then there’s this vat blocking the road, of all things. He must have been so frustrated he just couldn’t hold it in!]

The man was still trembling, emphasizing how terrified he had been and that he had only smashed the vat out of desperation.

But Su Nian slowly raised her head, her eyes fixed on him.

"What about your companion? Why didn’t he come with you?"

Under her gaze, the man instantly felt his whole body stiffen. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

But he stuck to the story he had prepared and continued.

"He and I smashed the vat together, and then we discovered the body inside together. We were both terrified, but the car just wouldn’t drive."

"We drove around in circles, and then we ran into that same big vat again. My companion was so furious that he wanted to get out again, but this time, he actually got dragged inside by the thing in the vat! Everything I’m saying is the absolute truth!"

"That vat kills people! The broken shards fly at you and stab you. It’s terrifying! It must be a ghost, Host! I think the vat itself is a ghost!"

The more the man spoke, the more agitated he became, as if he were recalling something truly horrifying.

Su Nian glanced at him and casually picked up a peach. She had been in a good mood today, but now, after dealing with this man, she was starting to feel rather displeased.

Su Nian’s expression was cold. "So your companion was killed by the vat?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It was definitely the ghost inside the vat! That vat is seriously haunted! Host, if you don’t believe me, I can take you to see it! I’m really not lying. There’s really a ghost in that vat!!"

Su Nian snorted. "You’re like a toad jumping off a cliff trying to be Batman."

"What kind of performance are you putting on? With acting skills like yours, you could go win an Oscar."

Su Nian’s tone was deceptively gentle, yet laced with a hint of mockery.

The man froze instantly. He blinked, looking confused. "Host, why would you say that? What do you mean? I paid good money to get in here. If you’re not going to give me a proper reading, what’s the point of mocking me?"

But once Su Nian said that, the live chat immediately understood.

[Whoa, the Host hasn’t said something like that in a long time.]

[The moment she said that, I got it. This guy is another two-faced hypocrite.]

[He’s acting scared on the surface, but for all we know, he’s the one who killed his ’good buddy’!]

[Your Excellency’s opinion is in agreement with my own. I was thinking the same thing.]

[Oh, holy crap, I really want to kick this guy into next week. He’s putting on this whole supernatural act, but it turns out it was all his own setup!]

[And he’s still playing innocent. All I can say is, the Host is never wrong!]

[I knew it! The moment he came in, I said his face gave off a bad vibe. He really is a bad guy!]

Su Nian narrowed her eyes at him. His expression was a little panicked, but he was still trying to keep up his front.

"Host, you’re just talking nonsense! My companion is dead, shouldn’t I be worried?"

Su Nian let out a cold snort, her tone even more mocking.

"Wasn’t your companion killed by you?"

At these words, the man froze. He was stunned, momentarily unsure of what to say.

But after a few seconds, he quickly recovered.

"You’re just making things up! My companion was killed by the ghost in that vat. I bet you don’t have the power to exorcise ghosts, so you’re just trying to frame me! I... I think you’re just being ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he turned and stormed off.

Su Nian called out coolly after him, "You’ll be back to see me tomorrow."

"Your companion is waiting for you at your home."

As Su Nian said this, her eyes curved into a slight smile. Her cold demeanor was gone, replaced by the look of someone enjoying a good show.

The man’s whole body went rigid, and his steps faltered for a second, but in the next moment, he strode quickly out the door.

He left in a hurry, not even thinking to ask Su Nian for a refund.

[Look, look, look! He’s got a guilty conscience!]

[If he didn’t have a guilty conscience, why would he run off so fast?]

[The Host nailed it again. People these days are just disgusting.]

[They’ll do anything, and then act all innocent!]

[Seeing him rush off like that... pfft, you know exactly what he’s all about.]

[Is this what men are like nowadays? Such low standards. It’s a disgrace!]

Su Nian, for her part, pressed a bell, and today’s second client walked in.

The one who entered this time was a man with a somewhat haggard face.

He wore a pained and worried expression from the moment he entered, his features clouded with sorrow. He couldn’t help but sigh as soon as he was inside.

"Sigh! Hello, Host!"

Su Nian nodded, studying his facial features. His brow and eyes were clear.

Although he couldn’t be called a great philanthropist, he was just an ordinary, normal person. Su Nian asked.

"What would you like a reading on?"

The man waved his hand, looking as if he didn’t really care.

"Sigh, Host, just give me a general reading for now."

[Looking at him, I bet he’s suffered some kind of major blow in his life, huh?]

[Eh, I feel like he just fried his brain staying up all night gaming.]

[You guys are all wrong. Let me guess—he definitely just got dumped!]

[Why can’t it be the pressures of life?]

[What if it’s because he ran into a ghost?]
