The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 63 Saving the Heart Starts with Saving the Body (2nd Update)
The man's words were filled with despair, and those nearby who were listening intently felt a chill run down their spines.

But soon, these passersby convinced themselves that if they didn't have some insurmountable obstacle, they probably wouldn't have wasted 2000 yuan on fortune-telling.

Immediately, these people began to imagine all sorts of things, such as terminal illness or a major upheaval in their family.

Some people even wondered if the man had been cheated on and felt hopeless about life.

Yun Ran spoke: "Do you want to live?"

Her voice carried a hint of the languid ease of someone just waking up, yet it seemed to be the best weapon to dispel the illusion.

It gave the man the feeling of finding an oasis in the desert, and his tired eyes finally became lively again.

"Yes, I want to live!"

Yun Ran nodded. Someone who was struggling to survive even in dire straits had come to her for help, so naturally she had to lend a hand, especially since she had accepted money.

Just as the man was about to speak, Yunran interrupted him. This time, instead of giving him the tortoise shell, she gave him a fortune-telling tube.

"Close your eyes and draw a lot at random."

The man obeyed and quickly pulled out a bamboo skewer, then opened his eyes.

Upon seeing the "best fortune" sign written on it, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, followed by a hint of grievance on his face. However, the air of despair emanating from him was suddenly shattered.

[Host, how come you even have a fortune-telling container? Don't tell me it's full of the best fortune slips!]

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at the ginseng fruit in her mind: "Didn't you see that this person is about to break? This is a sign of a severe lack of hope."

At this point, having him toss coins or something would allow me to figure out the cause and effect, but since he doesn't understand divination, it would only increase his anxiety.

To save a person, you must first save their heart. He was desperate and lacked confidence, so let's give him confidence. There were so many fortune sticks in the fortune stick box, and he immediately drew the best one.

If he can read, he'll believe that he won this good fortune himself, and that he'll pull through, which will save me some trouble comforting him!

The ginseng fruit silently gave Yun Ran a thumbs up: [Host is truly awesome!]

The eagerness on the man's face was visibly evident.

Yunran took the bamboo sticks with an air of importance and then began to calculate with great seriousness. Anyone who looked at it would think she was acting like a master.
When Lao Liu returned, he was startled to see a large crowd gathered in front of the young lady's stall and quickly squeezed in.

He saw Yun Ran shaking his head and calculating. His lips twitched. For a moment, he felt that the word "charlatan" had become a reality for him.

But this was Miss Yun's 'hobby', and as her personal driver, he could only stand silently in a place where he could block Yun Ran from being beaten up.

"Your luck has finally turned around! Although you were having a bit of bad luck before, thankfully you met me, so it's not a big problem!"

Upon hearing Yun Ran's words, much of the despair emanating from the man vanished along with the longing in his eyes.

"Master, what should I do?"

Looking at the urgency on the man's face, Yunran sighed inwardly; this man was really unlucky.

Yunran had heard plenty of stories about real and fake heiresses, but she never expected to encounter a story about a real and fake young master.

"Thirty years ago, your parents were busy with work and entrusted you to the care of relatives in the countryside. Who would have thought that the relative was greedy? Not only did she take the payment from your parents, but she also switched you with her grandson. From then on, your life was rewritten."

When you were five years old, your parents were transferred to other jobs, and they took the adopted son back with them because they felt guilty.

Your parents practically granted him every wish, giving him the best education, the best resources, and the most love; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they treated him like their own eyes.

Twenty years ago, your parents went into business and are now well-known clothing factory owners with a net worth of over 100 million yuan.

The fake son's status naturally rose accordingly. He went abroad to study and even married a wealthy woman of equal social standing, living a life that could be described as a thrilling novel.

But after you were detained by that relative, she didn't treat you well at all. She either beat or scolded you, and even made you drop out of school at a young age.

But you inherited your parents' hard-working genes, starting from handing out flyers and eventually working in sales, struggling and enduring all kinds of hardships in society.

I finally got the job of sales manager, met like-minded people, and it looks like I'll be able to start a family soon.

Something unexpected happened: your younger brother—oh, no, I should say, your relative's second grandson—has incurred a huge gambling debt.

You were robbed of all your savings, and even your lover was almost devoured by those devilish people.

Those who hurt her are your family members. You have no choice but to painfully give up your lover and continue to struggle in that vortex.

But those people still didn't let you go. They set their sights on your kidneys and forced you to sell them to help them pay off their debts.

It was your former brothers who helped you through thick and thin who managed to rescue you and get you out of that family. But you had been brainwashed and manipulated by them for so many years that you couldn't muster the will to resist.

Later, a manufacturer you had previously worked with met your biological parents and, seeing your striking resemblance, finally revealed your true identity.

Unfortunately, your parents gave that fake son far too much love, and they can't take it back. In fact, that fake son even gave them a pair of adorable grandchildren.

At first, they felt guilty towards you, but that fake son not only had an excellent resume, but also a powerful in-law family.

With such a comparison, you gradually became the background of that family, and even a thorn in their side.

Your parents, in order to protect that fake son and their family, not only failed to punish the relative who stole you.

They even helped them pay off their high-interest loans, bought them a big house in the county town, and gave them a large sum of money. Their only request was that they not bother the fake son.

What will make you most desperate is that, in order to show their loyalty to their fake son, they set up a scheme to get you to sign several huge contracts.

With the deadline fast approaching, if you fail to fulfill the contract, you will face an endless and prolonged period of imprisonment.

That fake son, at this very moment, tells you that your former lover has married someone else…

Passersby listened as Yun Ran, like an outsider, calmly recounted the man's life story.

Yet they seemed to be able to deeply feel the pain and despair in the man's struggle.

Many people were even secretly wiping away tears, saying, "This life is just too hard!"
