Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Chapter 24 Only people themselves want to change

Jiao Xiaolian stood there, stunned.

She wasn't ugly, but she was definitely not among the most beautiful.

The way she met her boyfriend was indeed full of the Mary Sue elements of a novel. He got lost, and she gave him directions. After going around in circles, they met again, and she discovered that he was terrible with directions and got lost again. So she took him to his destination.

Out of gratitude, he added her on WeChat, and that's when she found out he was here to study.

After chatting on WeChat for a while, they gradually got together and started dating.

He came from a wealthy family. He went to school during the day, and the two of them could spend their evenings together. He would give her gifts, watch movies with her, laugh with her, play with her, and do everything she wanted to do.

The days she spent with him were the happiest time of her life.

"I still can't believe it." Jiao Xiaolian covered her face. "Could it be that he was also deceived? I still can't believe that someone who was so good to me would try so hard to harm me."

Zhang Yue looked at Jiao Xiaolian, whose expression was pained, and then at Xia Wange, who was eating with her head down. She was about to speak when she wondered if the other girl had also been cursed like her, and that was why she was so stubborn.

But then he thought about it and shut his mouth.

First, if someone were truly under a curse, the master would surely be able to tell. Second, she was the one who humiliated him in every way, yet she still chased after him. But Jiao Xiaolian is different; the other person is handsome and treats her well, so it's understandable that she's love-struck.

"Hmm..." Xia Wange was silent for a moment, "Tell me, is it possible that he's so good to you because after he killed you, you still have feelings for him? When you hurt him, if he begged you, you wouldn't hurt him anymore?"

Jiao Xiaolian's face paled for a moment.

Zhang Yue really wanted to force a smile and tell some kind of hellish joke, but judging from the two of them, it seemed the master was serious...

Putting down her chopsticks, Xia Wange said seriously, "You've already noticed something's wrong, haven't you?"

Jiao Xiaolian pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

Yes, she had already noticed something was wrong. She found herself becoming increasingly fatigued. The reason her boyfriend washed her feet was simply because she had been inexplicably extremely sleepy since returning home, unable to even lift her arms, and her complexion was getting worse. She had always assumed it was due to working overtime recently and hadn't considered that possibility at all.

But yesterday, after Zhang Yueyi mentioned it to her, she inquired about this "Sister Xia" and immediately realized that this Sister Xia was not simple.

"Yes..." Jiao Xiaolian frowned, her eyes filled with reluctance, "Do you think it might be me...?"

"Stop, stop guessing. I don't need you to believe me. I'm just telling you what I know." Xia Wange looked at the other person's ashen face and continued, "Anyway, you can't get rid of this thing now."

Jiao Xiaolian's face turned pale and then red. She gripped the bracelet tightly, not daring to show it even a little bit.

This is another point that she would overlook if the other person didn't point it out.

She would take it off when washing up, and she wouldn't wear anything when doing her skincare routine in her room. When her boyfriend asked about it while she was lying in bed, she was about to say that it was in the bathroom, but when she turned her head, the bracelet appeared on her bedside table. She thought her boyfriend had put it there.

Sometimes she would take it off in the morning and forget to wear it, but when she got to the office and suddenly remembered it, it would be in her bag or on her desk. She used to think it was just a habit she had put there...

Isn't that right?

No, no, no, the first possibility is that her boyfriend found it on the bedside table, and the second possibility is that she just got used to it?

Xia Wange noticed the change in the other person's eyes and knew that she was making excuses for her boyfriend again. Actually, it wasn't surprising. It was rare to find a partner who met all her fantasies in every way, and suddenly someone told her that that person wanted to harm her. No normal person could accept that.

With a sigh, Xia Wange said, "There's no rush. As long as you don't go abroad with him, at worst the situation will remain the same, or it might get worse."

Jiao Xiaolian looked at Xia Wange, "Why is it that as long as we don't go abroad..."

"The Party and the people will not allow it."

Zhang Yue and Jiao Xiaolian: "?!"

Xia Wange glanced at them, her face expressionless, and said, "In China, especially in a first-tier city, with a job, friends, and family, how could I possibly let you have your skull removed so easily?"

Zhang Yue and Jiao Xiaolian: "..."

Xia Wange stood up. "If you want to get rid of this bracelet, give it to me. I can crack it. If you want to try it out, give it to Zhang Yue."

Zhang Yue was taken aback.

Xia Wange added, "Have Zhang Yue hide it, or throw it away. You can think about it yourself."

After saying that, Xia Wange left the restaurant. Zhang Yue quickly caught up with her, holding a cloth wrapped around the bracelet. She looked troubled. "Master, this..."

"Find a clean trash can and throw it away."

Zhang Yue was taken aback. Trusting Xia Wange, she didn't say a word and threw it into the trash can on the side. After throwing it away, the two waited for the elevator together, and she hesitated to speak.

"Zhang Yue, only when a person is truly heartbroken and wants to change can others help her. If she keeps hesitating, then no one can help her."

Just like that policewoman Liu Mei, she sincerely wanted to study. Seeing her determination, everyone would help her if they could. If she hesitated and wanted to study but didn't want to, she would only be stuck in the quagmire for the rest of her life.

Zhang Yue was taken aback, then lowered her head and said, "I used to be just as stubborn, so I understand her quite well..."

"Stop."

Xia Wange quickly said, "Even after all this, they still don't want to break up. They must have experienced some benefits. Maybe the other person is rich and can give her enough financial support, give her expensive gifts, or is handsome enough. When you close your eyes and think you should be rational, you can't be rational when you open your eyes and see his face. Or maybe he is very good to her and makes her feel like a princess when she is with him."

"To put it bluntly, the other person might be exceptionally good in certain areas, making her unable to resist. If he's handsome, rich, good in bed, and treats her exceptionally well... As the saying goes, 'To die under a peony is to die a romantic death.' Most people would probably be conflicted. Even if they were going to die the next day, they might still want to enjoy themselves today. She probably wouldn't come looking for me until she's really about to die, which I completely understand."

"You're different. Even if you've been cursed, not all curses are the same. The fact that you became like before means you didn't have a bad impression of him, and you might even have thought he was alright. That's why, after being cursed, you ended up as someone else's servant. Don't compare your life to his glorious one. You have terrible judgment."

Zhang Yue: "..."

Okay, that's enough. That's too straightforward, so straightforward that she can completely empathize with the other person.

Just then, she received a call from her mother, Song's mother. The voice on the other end was very loud, and as soon as she answered, the voice came through clearly, and it could be heard very clearly even in the elevator.

"Hey! Yueyue! Did that Lei's mother come looking for you?"

"No, the security guard didn't say anything. There are a lot of people here, so they probably wouldn't dare to come."

"That's fine. His mother came to our neighborhood looking for me, and she wants me to pay her compensation. Damn it, does she think we're easy to bully? As soon as I called out, all your aunts and uncles came. His mother only brought a few people, and she still wants to get something out of me. Does she think we're easy to bully? Even your grandma, who wasn't wearing dentures, couldn't talk back to her!"

Zhang Yue remained silent for a moment. She used to hate it when her relatives meddle in her affairs, but she never expected them to stand up for her at this moment.

Having just won a battle, Song's mother couldn't stop talking and started boasting, "His mother even told me to wait and bring people over. Humph, isn't she just waiting for her relatives to get off work? When her relatives get off work, our relatives will get off work too. Then your second and third uncles will all come over, and I don't believe they'll dare to bully us! Also, Yueyue, when you get off work, I asked your brother to pick you up. Come back with him, and be careful."
