[ILivestreamDivination] Chapter 4.1 — Livestream to Catch a Liar

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>’s mouth fell open wide. “Ah… is he a liar?” her tone was full of shock.

[Damn it, it’s true, the rich woman’s boyfriend who she’s going to marry is a liar!?]

[Fake, she looks very smart, how could she be cheated so easily?]

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> was really shocked by this development. “How could he be a liar?” she blurted out

Because she believed in An Rugu’s divination skills, her current world view has collapsed completely, and she couldn’t believe what she had just heard; her eyes were completely dazed.

Seeing her like this, An Rugu said, “You and your current boyfriend did not meet face to face, but through letters, or as is more common these days: through the Internet.”

“Yes,” <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> nodded. “He said he accidentally added me as the wrong friend, so he proposed to just get acquainted anyway.”

Because of her beauty salon business, the people who often socialize with <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> were almost all women. After her divorce, she had money and leisure, but she was inevitably a little lonely and would sometimes go to bars for some fun.

She was not interested in strangers on the internet, but the other party often greeted her with care. Because she was in the service industry all year round, she always smiled when she saw someone, and she was not used to treating others coldly. In this way, she got to know him a lot.

The man then revealed that he had had a painful marriage. <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> was usually cautious, but because of the common experience, she felt a little bit empathetic.

Thus, the two somewhat similar strangers became acquainted and, eventually, became friends.

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> will occasionally tell this netizen about the small troubles in her career that were inconvenient to tell to the people around her.

The netizen didn’t really understand business matters, but they were very considerate.

As time went on, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> felt that she had met an understanding person who could make her happy.

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> briefly talked about how she and her boyfriend met and became acquainted. Then she paused, visibly affected, “Because of him, I even understand why those stinky men could cheat. Who can withstand such a gentle and considerate person? He made me think of ​​getting married again.”

[I feel like he has an ulterior motive, so he will always be gentle and considerate. ]

[Why is this routine so familiar? Isn’t this just a pig-killing dish? ]

[What’s a pig-killing dish? ]

[To kill a pig is to talk about love through online chat, and then trick you into investing, then finally abscond with your money. Just like raising pigs, they are fattened first and then killed, so it is called a pig-killing dish. ]

Seeing these barrages, <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> slowly shook her head. “I know there are these types of liars, and I’ve heard my clients speak of such things, but that doesn’t seem like him at all. I’m very sensitive about money, and I didn’t feel that he meant to induce me to invest.”

The light in her eyes flickered, and her heart was full of uncertainty. After a while, as if she had confirmed something, she raised her head to look at An Rugu on the screen, and said with a bit of certainty and determination in her tone, “He really is a liar? Please tell me your calculations directly, I can bear it.”

An Rugu looked at the other party intently: her peach blossoms were completely rotten—a cunning and suspicious personality, scheming, with various prior criminal convictions.

If she didn’t intervene…

The truth was, rotten peach blossoms would have little effect on this predestined person.

Generally speaking, a woman with a pure official star, although high in status and wealth, was a wife who relies solely on her husband’s merits. This predestined person, on the other hand, was obsessed with gourmet and harms officials, attaches the most importance to career, has an independent personality, and obtains wealth all by herself. She was a strong woman, and rotten peach blossoms could not hurt her.

An Rugu didn’t directly answer <Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water>’s question, because she knew that such people like to look at evidence. Instead, she said, “Your boyfriend told you that he is not in Nancheng now, and he will meet you when the wedding date is fixed, correct?”

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> nodded immediately—it was one of the reasons why she was eager to set the date of marriage early. “Yes, he said that he is currently on a business trip abroad.”

[Business trip abroad? This liar is pretty awesome.]

[Liar: I’m in the United States, just got off the plane, send me money quickly.]

“If you believe my words, put on a mask now, and leave the house. Follow my instructions, and you will be able to see him,” An Rugu said.

<Time Passes Swiftly Like Flowing Water> now fully believed in An Rugu, and nodded without even thinking about it. She put on a mask, picked up her phone and stood up. “Okay, then shall I turn off the phone?”

“No, if you point the camera at the road, I can calculate things better.”

The audience in the live broadcast room did not expect this direction at all, and they were now extremely excited. The audience who originally came in because of the ‘New Streamers’ list also stayed because of this sudden divine development.

T/N: From now on, An Rugu would be making a lot of divination calculations as she livestreams, saying things like ‘killing officials’ and ‘the sun’s pillar is full of gold’. I have zero idea what these phrases signify but the second half of the divination would generally make it clear what her calculations mean, so just bear with the mystical-talk portions.

EDIT: Reader Tran Dai Phuc (thanks btw!) mentioned that ‘official’ here should mean ‘husband’, which makes sense given the context.
