Chapter 124: Jinjiang First Launch
"I'm sorry to have worried you all. Since the photos were exposed, my phone has been bombarded with calls. Countless friends in and out of the circle have come to congratulate me. I want to say to 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 weight in advance. In my new drama "The Female General Who Reigns Over the Nation", the heroine I play needs to ride a horse on 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 maternity hospital to observe the walking posture of pregnant women so that my performance can be closer to reality. I will do my best to restore the female general in everyone's mind, so 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 just in love again. If she dared to have a baby on the set, she would have been 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 examined Qin Yujun's pulse before, she had already seen her future. Her career would be on the rise for 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. He could not get away with it at all.
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 to fight 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 did not look that old at all.
The crowd laughed, and the two scammers tried to run away, but the crowd stopped them. Someone called the police, who arrived quickly and took the two scammers away. Later, 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 still waiting for the master to bring them "new friends", but they didn’t expect that the police would come instead.
The police dispatched 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:
"You dare to touch me! Where is 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, feeling it was difficult to face her daughter:
"Alas, the child's father left only this shop, and I didn't even manage to keep it. I almost lost it. My daughter had a good job in Beihai City and was 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 cheated before, buying some elderly health products or something like that, but the amount was relatively small, only 10,000 or 20,000. This time it was different. I actually sold the shop. Maybe I am really senile and 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 and said 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 will take you to Beihai City and find you a job. You will live with me in the future."
Jiang Yun was very worried: "But I am 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 how, 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 lower. Anyway, you live with me, so you don't have to worry about the rent. This job is perfect for you!"
Jiang Yun hesitated: "I am almost retired. Can I still learn the technology now?"
Jiang Liyi smiled and said, "What are you worried about? You are only fifty years old, which is the right age for you to make a living. Go home and pack your things. I have already booked the flight ticket!"
After 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! It's rare to see recruitment without age limit nowadays."
Jiang Liyi shook her head slightly: "I lied to her. In fact, I asked the owner of the cake shop to post this circle of friends. The circle of friends is only visible to me. I often buy cakes there and I am already very familiar with the owner. Their shop didn't want to recruit people. It was because of my persuasion 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 confused: "Your mother is so easily deceived. If you bring 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 father left, she has no one to talk to. Only those liars would listen to her worries. As she listened, she fell into the trap of the liar. 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 skills 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 who dance square dance. Maybe she can usher in 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 quarreled 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 hot temper and I love to fight with others. When I was a child, I got into trouble a lot in class. Every time, my mother helped me deal with it. She never blamed me. She taught me softly every time. 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 was 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 life is like this, so I can only hope for the next life..."
When Cripple Brother got to this point, he was interrupted by Jiang Liyi: "Hey, you haven't even lived to old age, why do you sentence yourself to death? A person's fate 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 even 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, that's all nonsense. Instead of worrying about the afterlife, it's better to seize this life. Brother, don't give up so early, maybe your turning point will come tomorrow!"
Lame Brother smiled, and although he didn't say anything, his mood became much better.
After saying this, Jiang Liyi paid Bai Mian's medical fee, then took her mother out to catch the plane.
Bai Mian looked at the time. It was half past eleven, and it was almost time for the lunch break in the store. She habitually said, "Please ask the third master to come back this afternoon. This morning's diagnosis ends here. Everyone please go back!"
Just as everyone was about to disperse, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "No! Master, can you help me check it 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 frightened. Considering that she was probably in an emergency, Bai Mian agreed:
"Okay, come and sit down, I'll take your pulse now."
The girl hurried to sit down in front of the examination 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 can't wait any longer. I want you to help me solve the problem right now."
"It's okay," Bai Mian said softly, "What problem did you encounter?"
"I..." She looked at her toes and said fearfully, "My body seems to be shrinking..."
