“You are not suitable for marriage.”

As An Rugu’s voice came through her earphones, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>’s expression froze and her smile gradually disappeared.

Many exquisite thoughts had flashed through her mind, and she had guessed many possible results of the divination, but she never thought that An Rugu could say such a thing.

What do you mean she was not suitable for marriage? Was she only fit to die alone? That was so rude!

The audience was very surprised as well and guessed at <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>’s reaction in the barrage.

[Rich woman: I’m ready to get married, and now you tell me that the road to love is bumpy?]

[Rich woman: Fook refund the money!]

If someone who was in love was told something so unkind, their mood would definitely not be good, and they might scold the fortune teller bloody.

Fortunately, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing> was relatively well-cultivated. She restrained her smile, raised her eyebrows, and said with a forceful aura, “Why do you say this?”

If it was an employee of <Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing>’s company standing there, one look at her expression and they would immediately know that it was a sign of the boss’s rising anger.

But An Rugu didn’t care at all about the reaction of the predestined person, and told the other party the result of her calculation in a calm tone. “It literally means that your fate is to be in a rough marriage.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing> frowned when she heard the words, feeling a little uncomfortable to be suddenly dumped with such an unlucky fortune, and subconsciously retorted, “I have also looked for a fortune teller before—why didn’t they figure out my bad marriage fate?”

After she had a successful career, she met many bosses in the same industry. The richer these people became, the more superstitious they became. She also followed the trend and found a fortune teller, who was said to be very powerful.

The other party told her that she was a wealthy person who has come through hard work, whether it was in career or marriage, she would definitely get what she wanted. In short, the results of their marriage calculations for her were completely opposite as An Rugu’s.

Faced with her doubts, An Rugu held her teacup, and the water vapor floated in the air, obscuring her eyes. “Divination is like answering a question, and there is a difference between accurate and inaccurate.”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing> frowned more and more deeply, feeling a little unhappy in her heart. Not wanting to entangle with An Rugu any longer, her eyes fell on the ‘end call’ button on the phone, and she immediately stretched out her hand, ready to hang up the call.

Those hundreds of yuan… just treat it as her giving charity.

Dozens of viewers watching the livestream have been staring at <Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing>’s reaction. Seeing her like this, they know that she was dissatisfied.

[Rank 1 is furious!]

[I have something to say, the person just wants to calculate the wedding date, but the host directly tells her that wedding itself is not auspicious, adding insult to injury and messing up her own divination business. ]

[Host, you’d better go stream singing instead, this kind of technical work is not suitable for you. ]

[Speaking of which, is the anchor’s calculation really true?]

[It must be fake, you see, the rich woman can’t wait to get rid of her single life, isn’t her love life going smoothly?]

Just when <Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing> was about to end the call, a distant-sounding but pleasant voice rang in her ears. “You were born between the late hours of 11pm to 1am in a village surrounded by mountains. You have four older sisters and one younger brother. The relationship between you and your parents is shallow—you were not raised by your parents, right?”

The audience was very surprised when they heard this. There were so many children in the rich woman’s family?

[Four older sisters and one younger brother? Fake! There was family planning in the 1980s.]

[No, look at the reaction of the rich woman!]

When An Rugu was speaking, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing> paused the movement of her hand, and froze in the air just as she was about to press something off-screen. After a long time, she finally retracted her hand, a look of horror flashing across her face

“…Yes, my family was poor when I was young, and I grew up with my grandma. As for family planning, the village took a few fines and then left matters alone.”

She didn’t disclose the specifics of it to protect her privacy. In fact, her parents were going to sell her to someone else as a child bride¹, but her grandma couldn’t stand it and raised her herself.

Since her grandma passed away, she hasn’t thought about her childhood for a long time. If An Rugu hadn’t suddenly mentioned this matter, she would have felt that it was not her own experience.

How did An Rugu know about the situation in her hometown back then?

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Water Flowing> fell into deep thought, not bothering about the livestream happening. She has been away from home for many years and has not been in contact with people in her hometown for a long time. Even her closest friends do not know the background of her family.

After thinking about it, she figured she has a promising career in Nancheng, and she has also appeared in some business magazines. She has some fame and was known as one of the ‘most promising female entrepreneurs in Nancheng’.

Could it be that An Rugu knew about her before, and then went to her hometown to investigate her?

But she just clicked onto the livestream by chance today—how could An Rugu spend so much effort to investigate a person who was almost impossible for her to meet?
