Mrs. Huo Is Known for Her Predictions of Misfortune

Don’t Do It Again

Qin Jiao’s father was also a big shot in the capital. His first wife passed away early, leaving behind Qin Jiao as their only daughter. Qin Jiao’s father had an outstanding background, hence even for his second marriage, it would not have been difficult for him to find a young and beautiful woman. Given his status, he’d be made a laughing stock if he found himself a woman who had been married before, and in addition even had children from a previous marriage. Therefore, it became common assumption that Yang Ya had never been married before, and even less so, have a daughter as old as Ye Yao.

Yang Ya’s expression turned a little ugly. “This…”

Gao Qiao smiled and continued, “Of course, Madam Yang, don’t worry. I’m not a talkative person. But neither am I a fool. In any case, one wouldn’t be happy to be made use of. So, Madam Yang, don’t do it again.” Although he was smiling, there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. He was also a person of status, but he had been fooled by Yang Ya and Qin Jiao.

Yang Ya knew that she had failed this time, so she could only nod.

Gao Qiao stood up and said to Ye Yao, “Let’s go. Huo Buyu asked me to come over and take you to lunch.”

Ye Yao stood up and waved at Yang Ya with a smile. “Well then I’ll take my leave, Mom.”

After Ye Yao and Gao Qiao left, Yang Ya flung the coffee cup onto the ground angrily. “Ye Yao!”

Gao Qiao and Ye Yao headed out to pick up Huo Buyu before proceeding to lunch. In the car, he asked curiously, “Is Yang Ya really your biological mother?”

Ye Yao spread her hands and said, “I hope not.”

Gao Qiao shook his head. “Then you’re quite pitiful. She didn’t even hesitate to take advantage of you.”

Ye Yao thought of what Yang Ya had done in the past and smiled. “This is nothing. She has done things that are far worse.”

“Huh?” Gao Qiao was extremely surprised. He could not understand the relationship between Ye Yao and Yang Ya. The fact was that there were many complicated relationships within wealthy clans, but these complexities would not happen between parents and their children. Because there were too many branches of the extended family, of course the closest relatives had to stick together. Therefore, although Gao Qiao had some strange relatives in the family, his parents were considerably close to each other.

Ye Yao glanced at her watch and said casually, “Why are you driving so slowly? Don’t tell me we’re stuck in a traffic jam and can’t make it to lunch?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yao reacted and hurriedly covered her mouth. Oh no! She had complained too much recently and had become used to it. She had forgotten that she was a jinx. If a traffic jam happened, it would delay her meal! This was the bad thing about the ability to jinx things. Sometimes, what she said would come true, and she could even end up being the unlucky one.

Gao Qiao shook his head with a smile. “You’re overthinking it. This is not a popular route, there won’t be a traffic jam. I guarantee you.”

Ye Yao laughed dryly. Compared to Gao Qiao’s personality, she believed in her ability to jinx things more.

As expected, after driving for less than 100 meters, it started to jam, because a nearby road had suddenly collapsed. All traffic was redirected to the route that Gao Qiao had taken. It was a small road to begin with, and when so many cars suddenly surged onto it, the traffic came to a standstill.

Gao Qiao often took this route. Even during the morning rush hour or the evening rush hour, it had never been congested! This was the first time he’d encountered a traffic jam, and it had to be under the circumstance that he had so boldly made a claim. In order to ease the atmosphere, Gao Qiao joked with Ye Yao, “Are you a jinx? Your words hit the nail right on the head! I’ve been taking this route for at least five years, if not ten. It had never been congested.”

Ye Yao glared at him. She actually didn’t like others saying that she was a jinx! Because it sounded awful! Although others were only making the remark in jest, the fact was, she was really a jinx! Hmph! Ye Yao was so angry that she ignored Gao Qiao.

Having been given a dirty look for no reason, Gao Qiao scratched his head in confusion.

About 20 minutes later, Huo Buyu called Ye Yao. “Where are you guys? Why aren’t you here yet?”

Ye Yao informed him, “We’re stuck in a traffic jam.”

Huo Buyu fell silent for a moment. “… Have you been speaking without thinking again?”

Ye Yao said with a tinge of guilt, “I didn’t do it on purpose this time…”

Huo Buyu was at his wit’s end, but he said with exasperation, “Alright, there’s no hurry. Tell Gao Qiao to drive slower and be careful.”

“Okay.” Ye Yao hung up the phone and held her chin as she fell into deep thought. Wasn’t this jinxing ability too pathetic? It should only work on others and not on herself! No matter what, this was her skill. How could this skill harm its own master!

Ye Yao was peeved!

After being stuck in traffic for more than an hour, the road slowly cleared up. When they arrived at the restaurant, Ye Yao got out of the car and was about to walk in when a shrill cry suddenly came from behind. “Ye Yao! Stop right there!”
