Chapter 124 Jinjiang Debut
"I'm sorry to have worried you all. Since the photos were exposed, my phone has been flooded with calls. Countless friends in and out of the circle have come to congratulate me. I want to tell everyone here that it's too early for you to congratulate me. I'm not pregnant!"
Qin Yujun said to the camera: "As you can see, this pregnant belly is just a prop. The reason why I carry it with me is to adapt to traveling with a heavy load in advance. In my new drama "Female General Guarding the Country", the heroine I play needs to ride a horse to the battlefield while pregnant, and there are many action scenes. I do this to make the filming smoother when the time comes."
She smiled generously and continued, "I went to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital to observe the walking posture of pregnant women so that my performance can be closer to reality. I will try my best to restore the female general in everyone's mind. Please look forward to it!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her clarification. Lame Brother said thankfully, "Fortunately it was fake. I thought she was in love again. If she dared to take care of her pregnancy on the set, she would be nailed to the pillar of shame!"
Bai Mian smiled slightly and remained silent. The reason why she dared to use Qin Yujun to test Master Wuji was because she was sure that Qin Yujun was not really pregnant this time. When she took Qin Yujun's pulse before, she had already seen her future. Her career would be on the rise in the next ten years and she would not get married and have children.
After seeing Qin Yujun's live broadcast, Master Wuji's face turned purple. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. The two baby girls he swore to be did not exist at all. Now the whole audience was watching his show, and he had no way of making up for himself.
Jiang Yun became even more furious. She yelled at Master Wuji, "You can't even tell if I'm pregnant, and you say you can control my reincarnation? You're talking nonsense! Give me back my property!"
As she spoke, she started fighting with Master Wuji. During the fight, Master Wuji's white wig fell to the ground, revealing his black hair. This once again verified Bai Mian's statement that he was just a middle-aged man of the same age as Xiaofang, and not as old as he looked.
The onlookers laughed, and the two scammers wanted to run away, but the onlookers hurriedly stopped them. Someone called the police, and the police arrived quickly and took the two scammers away. Then the police found Jiang Yun’s supermarket, which had now become a pyramid scheme den, filled with people wearing white paper bags on their heads. They were waiting for the master to bring them "new friends", but they didn't expect that they were waiting for the police.
The police sent a large number of police cars to take these members away. Some people were still obsessed with their dreams of having a good life. When they were handcuffed and taken away by the police, one person shouted:
"If you dare to touch me, just try! Where's the master? I want to see the master! When I become the richest man in my next life, all of you will come to beg me!"
After the police took the pyramid scheme gang away, the supermarket returned to Jiang Yun, but she was not happy. She sat on the hospital bed in Cixin Hall, covering her face with her hands, and found it difficult to face her daughter:
"Alas, this is the only store left by her father, and I didn't even manage to keep it. I almost lost it. My daughter had a good job in Beihai City and was very busy every day, but I believed the lies of this liar and forced my daughter to come back. I made such a big joke in front of her. I am really ashamed of them!"
The more she spoke, the more frustrated she became. "I was often deceived before, buying some elderly health products or something like that, but the amount was relatively small, only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. This time is different. I actually sold the shop. Maybe I am really old and confused. I shouldn't continue to run the shop, but go to a nursing home..."
Jiang Liyi was standing opposite Jiang Yun. When everyone thought she would be furious with her mother, she reached out and patted her mother on the shoulder, saying softly, "You really shouldn't continue to run the supermarket."
Jiang Yun raised her head and asked sadly, "Do you also think I should go to a nursing home?"
"No," Jiang Liyi shook her head, "I'm going to take you to Beihai City and find you a job. You'll live with me in the future."
Jiang Yun was very worried: "But I'm so old, can I still find a job in Beihai? Besides, I don't know how to run a supermarket!"
"If you don't know, you can learn!" Jiang Liyi showed her mother a circle of friends on her mobile phone. "The cake shop downstairs from my house is recruiting apprentices. There is no age limit. The salary is just low. Anyway, you live with me, so you don't have to worry about the rent. This job is just right for you!"
Jiang Yun hesitated a little: "I am almost at retirement age. Can I still learn the technology now?"
Jiang Liyi smiled lightly: "What are you worried about? You are only fifty years old, and it is the right age to make a breakthrough. Go home and pack your things. I have already booked the plane ticket!"
Hearing her daughter's encouragement, Jiang Yun also became motivated. She immediately got up and walked towards the supermarket to pack her luggage.
After Jiang Yun left, Lame Brother muttered, "This cake shop is hiring apprentices with no age limit. How kind of a person! It's rare to see a job opening without age limits nowadays."
Jiang Liyi shook her head slightly. "I lied to her. I asked the cake shop owner to post this circle of friends. Only I can see it. I often buy cakes there and I am very familiar with the owner. Their shop was not hiring. It was only after I persuaded him that the owner agreed to let my mother be an apprentice. I also paid the apprentice's salary. It was just to give my mother something to do."
Lame Brother was very puzzled: "Your mother is so easily deceived. You took her to Beihai City. Aren't you afraid that she will be deceived again?"
Jiang Liyi smiled and said, "She was so easily deceived because she was too lonely. Since my dad left, she has no one to talk to. Only those scammers would listen to her. As she listened, she fell into the scammer's trap. If we want to prevent her from being deceived again, we must solve the problem from the root and eliminate her loneliness. This time I took her to Beihai City. She can learn technology during the day and have me accompany her at home at night. If she feels bored, she can also dance square dance. There are many handsome old men dancing square dance. Maybe she can even have a second spring in her life!"
Lame brother was amused: "You have a really good attitude. This time your mother caused such a big incident, but not only did you not get angry, you even brought her with you. If it were me, I would have fallen out with my family a long time ago."
Jiang Liyi smiled bitterly, "It would be a lie to say I'm not angry, but she is my mother after all. She raised me before I was 18. I have a straightforward temper and I like to fight with others. When I was a child, I got into trouble in class a lot. Every time, my mother helped me deal with it. She never blamed me. She always taught me softly. Now it's my turn. Should I throw her into a nursing home?"
Jiang Liyi finished speaking and added, "But it's too outrageous that she was deceived this time. It's okay to be deceived by health products, but she actually believed in reincarnation services. I have to have a good talk with her when I go back and let her be more careful in the future."
Speaking of this, Lame Brother felt a little embarrassed: "Oh, don't talk about her. I almost believed it just now. The reason why this master has so many believers is because he accurately grasps people's psychological needs. I also know that there is no hope for me to turn things around. This is how it is in this life, so I can only hope for the next life..."
When Lame Brother said this, he was interrupted by Jiang Liyi: "Hey, you haven't lived to old age yet, why do you sentence yourself to death? People's destiny can be changed. I went from a small town youth to the top seller in Beihai City. My monthly income exceeds the annual income of many people. I have come a long way, and I believe I will go further in the future! What about you, are you sure you want to give up now?"
Lame brother blushed, Jiang Liyi patted his shoulder and said, "What reincarnation? It's all nonsense. Instead of worrying about the afterlife, you might as well make the most of this life. Don't give up so early, buddy. Maybe your chance will come tomorrow!"
Lame Brother smiled. Although he didn't say anything, his mood became much better.
After saying this, Jiang Liyi paid Bai Mian for the pulse diagnosis fee, and then took her mother out to catch the plane.
Bai Mian looked at the time. It was half past eleven, and the store was about to have its lunch break. She habitually said, "Please come back this afternoon, the third client. This morning's pulse diagnosis ends here. Everyone please go home!"
Just as everyone was about to disperse, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "No! Master, can you help me now? I don't want to wait until the afternoon!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was a petite girl. She stood in the crowd, raising her right hand high, hoping to get Bai Mian's attention.
Bai Mian glanced at her. The girl's face was full of panic and she was still shaking. She looked terrified. Considering that she was probably in an emergency, Bai Mian agreed:
"Okay, come and sit down. I'll take your pulse now."
The girl hurriedly sat down in front of the pulse diagnosis table and said apologetically, "Master Bai, I'm sorry to interrupt your lunch break, but I've been waiting for a whole morning and I really can't wait any longer. I want you to help me solve the problem right now."
"It's okay," Bai Mian said gently, "What problem did you encounter?"
"I..." She looked at her toes and said fearfully, "My body seems to be shrinking..."
