Mrs. Huo Is Known for Her Predictions of Misfortune

Chapter 16

My Boyfriend Treats Me Badly

Ye Yao stood at the bottom of the escalator and looked at the glass elevator thoughtfully. In fact, she did not completely understand her own ability, but she knew that her jinxing effect could not be maintained for too long. Although she could stop the elevator, she did not know the exact duration. It was just like how she made it rain in the morning, but it was only for five minutes. The rain had stopped even before the road surface got wet. However, more than half an hour had passed since the rescue workers and mall management turned up. The operation of the mall elevators were still suspended. Perhaps the person in charge of the mall realized that there was an accident and turned off all the elevators? That was also a possibility. However, there was another possibility that her curse was still holding up… Therefore, she herself was unclear of how strong her jinxing ability was now.

After Gao Qiao was done helping the mother and child, he walked back to Ye Yao. “Did you get a fright just then?” He did not think that the elevator had stopped because of Ye Yao, hence he seemed rather normal when facing Ye Yao.

Ye Yao nodded. “A little.”

Gao Qiao expressed his understanding. Girls would definitely get frightened when they encountered such a situation. “Let’s look for a place to sit then? Let’s drink something to calm ourselves down.”

Ye Yao agreed. “Okay.” She was simply going along with what Gao Qiao said. but her mind was still thinking about her jinxing skill.

The two of them sat down at a high-end restaurant. After Gao Qiao ordered, he asked Ye Yao, “You look like you’re still of schooling age?”

Ye Yao replied, “Design major at the Imperial Capital University.”

Gao Qiao was pleasantly surprised. “Really? I’m also a student at Imperial Capital University. I’m in my third year. Why haven’t I seen you before? You’re so beautiful. If I’d seen you in school, I definitely won’t forget you.”

Ye Yao glanced at Gao Qiao. This guy was rather good at flirting! She took a sip of lemonade and asked with a puzzled expression, “What did Madam Yang tell you about me?”

The man answered, “She said that you’re the daughter of a distant relative of hers, and that you’re not bad a person. She wanted to introduce us.”

Ye Yao laughed. “And of course she wouldn’t have told you that I have a boyfriend, right?” Distant relative? Wasn’t that so ironic. Turning from mother-and-daughter to distant relatives.

Gao Qiao did not expect Ye Yao to be so straightforward, so he had to change his approach. “Ye Yao, I’ll be straightforward with you then. I don’t think I can’t get any girl whom I’m interested in. Besides, I have absolute confidence that your boyfriend can’t compare to me.”

Ye Yao’s expression instantly became playful! She often played with Huo Buyu’s phone, so she naturally knew about Gao Qiao. He had a good relationship with Huo Buyu and often called and exchanged messages with him. Moreover, Gao Qiao was a very narcissistic man. His WeChat profile picture was of himself. Hence, the moment she saw Gao Qiao, she was taken aback.

Ye Yao shook her head. “It’s not about comparison. It’s just that my boyfriend has a bad personality. He’s too domineering. He’s usually very strict with me. He’ll fly into a rage whenever I mention a break up. I’m very afraid of him. How about this? If you can settle my boyfriend, I’ll be with you. How about that?”

Admittedly, Ye Yao’s intention was that of watching a good show. Gao Qiao was obviously a playboy who had deceived countless young ladies. As for Huo Buyu, she was only just cracking her head over how to punish him! Wasn’t this a solution that came knocking on her door?!

“Oh?” Gao Qiao’s interest was piqued. “Just from what you’re telling me, I can say for sure that your boyfriend doesn’t love you. If you like someone, you should respect and love her, not bind her to you. Everyone is a free individual, don’t you think?”

Ye Yao replied, “Haha, yes, you’re too right!” She raised her cup to propose a toast. “Then I wish you the best of luck in dealing with my boyfriend and putting an end to my misery.”

Gao Qiao said very confidently, “Don’t worry!”

In fact, a Cassanova like Gao Qiao was a good player, he had a glib tongue. It would have been a pleasant conversation if they didn’t talk about relationships. Ye Yao even agreed to watch a movie with him. In a dark environment like the cinema, it was easy to close the physical distance between them. Gao Qiao did not disappoint. When the movie reached its climax, he reached out for Ye Yao’s hand.

Ye Yao sensed that Gao Qiao wanted to hold her hand and muttered softly, “Aiyo, we’re about to hold hands. I wonder if he’d get a cramp in his hand suddenly? That won’t be good.”

Before Gao Qiao’s hand could come into contact with Ye Yao’s, he felt his fingers convulse. It was so painful that he groaned. Perhaps Gao Qiao’s thoughts were too evil, so not only did his hand cramp, but his entire body went into a spasm! His muffled groan slowly turned into a loud grunt, and everyone in the movie theater turned to look at him.
