Chapter 40: Bai Boan (Part 1)

Sitting in front of Lin Qingyin was a young man in his twenties. He was not tall and had no meat on his body. His eyebrows were slightly drooping. Coupled with his gloomy face, he looked like he was going to be unlucky.

The person who came to the fortune-telling was Bai Boan. It can be said that he was just an ordinary person. He doesn’t have good fortune in life just like Jiang Wei, but he was also not the kind of person who was very unlucky. He has no great talents, but also not a lazy person. He can earn enough to support his family.

Bai Boan also thought that he will live an ordinary life. That he will continue to work from 9 am-5 pm. When he reached the right age, he will marry his girlfriend, have one or two children after marriage, and then guide the children to grow up… …

Most people lived like this. Bai Boan felt that he was no exception, but since half a year ago, his life trajectory seemed a bit off the track.

In the beginning, after working smoothly for 3 years, he suddenly started to have trouble at work. He was frequently criticized by customers, but he couldn’t figure out what went wrong. He lost one or two customers for this every month. He changed from an employee who was occasionally praised to a person who has to be criticized every time there was a meeting. And recently, his department leader even hinting him these days that the boss seemed to want to fire him.

His career was not going well which was enough to make him feel bad, but at this time, his love life also began to have problems.

His girlfriend that he had been dating since college seemed to have reached the emotional bottleneck period. She no longer wanted to go to the park with him on weekends, nor want to go to the plaza to look at the furniture for the wedding room with him. She even gets annoyed when mentioning the wedding. She seemed to have the idea to ​back out from the wedding.

What bothered him most was his parents, they were in a good health, but recently, they often had low-grade fevers for no reason. Bai Boan secretly searched this kind of situation on the Internet. He felt cold after reading some articles. He wanted to take his parents to the hospital, but the old couple refused. They saw their son having trouble at work and love life. They don’t want to add to his trouble regardless of life and death.

Bai Boan felt desperate. His love life, career, and family were not doing well anywhere. If it were not for fear that his parents could not stand the blow, he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

In fact, as early as 2 months ago, Bai Boan’s aunt, Bai Juan suggested to him to do fortune-telling. She said that there was a little master who was very skilled and talented. A while ago, there was also a young man who was inexplicably unlucky. Later, the little master figured out that his luck was being taken away. Now that his luck returned, that young man’s family was prospering again. It all thanks to the little master.

Bai Boan was less than 30 years old. He has never believed in such things as fortune-telling. At that time, his career and love were just in crisis, but still not in a serious case. Moreover, he always adheres to the principle of moderation. He has never offended anyone, and his family doesn’t have a big property. Therefore, he doesn’t believe that someone would take so much trouble to target him. It may be just a coincidence so he refused Bai Juan.

Seeing that Bai Juan couldn’t persuade her nephew, she made an appointment. His son was about the same age as Bai Boan and he also had a girlfriend. Bai Juan wanted to figure out a suitable date for her son to get married next year, and then prepare everything that was needed in advance.

2 months later, Bai Boan’s situation was getting worse and worse. Bai Juan felt uncomfortable the more she saw it. She also couldn’t persuade her brother to go to the hospital. She had no choice but to persuade Bai Boan to see the little master, to know what went wrong. In Bai Juan’s point of view, the Jiang family’s affair was much more serious than her nephew’s, but the little master had solved it. Her nephew must have been caught by something evil.

Bai Boan, who had always refused fortune-telling before, began to waver. He was really desperate now. Even some of his friends for many years have ignored him for some reason. He can’t find anyone to ask for help now. Perhaps fortune-telling was the only way. At least, he can find someone to tell his problems.
