Chapter 4
Lin Sheng patted the back of Su Qianya's hand lightly, and suddenly a relieved smile appeared on his face, resoundingly.
"He wasn't sick originally, but someone gave him a chronic poison. Over time, the toxins accumulated in his body, causing him to suddenly fall ill."
Hearing the hidden meaning, Su Qianya's brows were filled with anger.
"Bai Chengye, I treated you well and even let you take over the Su family business, yet you actually poisoned my father in secret. You have absolutely no conscience!"
The audience watching the show couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Chengye panicked and quickly made excuses for himself.
"The doctors all said that your father fell ill due to overwork. She's just a beggar who eats and drinks for free. How dare you believe her and not me?"
Facing Bai Chengye's questioning, Lin Sheng was not at all flustered. He slowly let go of Su Qianya's hand and met Bai Chengye's gaze.
"Three months ago, in order to curry favor with your father-in-law, you gave him a can of tea. Although it wasn't a famous tea, it made him extremely addicted. You put drugs in it and then bribed the doctor to say that he was simply overworked."
"Sending tea? How come I didn't know about this, Bai Chengye, what else did you do to my dad behind my back?"
Su Qianya was surprised by Lin Sheng's words.
Bai Chengye is still quibbling.
"What evidence do you have to prove that I did this? Giving tea to my father-in-law is perfectly normal, but I would never poison him."
Lin Sheng sneered and said nonchalantly,
"The tea leaves are still in the bedside table in your room. We can't deal with them yet. Take them and test them and you'll know. Oh, yes, Miss Su, your father's attending doctor has been bribed and will take action against your father tonight."
As soon as the words fell, Su Qianya's whole body trembled, her limbs felt cold, she turned around and slapped Bai Chengye, gritting her teeth and saying,
"Bai Chengye, just wait to spend the rest of your life in prison!"
Seeing the situation, Li Chuan immediately ordered people to capture Bai Chengye.
Su Qianya's slightly red hand pulled Lin Sheng over, a hint of sob lingering in her voice.
"What else do you know? Can you save my dad? I will definitely give you a large sum of money as a thank you."
The word "heavy money" flashed through Lin Sheng's mind, and the expression between his brows changed instantly. He couldn't help but raise a hint of satisfaction at the corner of his mouth. He pretended to be calm and spoke gently.
"I'm not doing this for money. Since I've met him, it means we're destined to be together. Helping him is the gentleman's thing to do. I will definitely save the old man!"
"Woof!"
A loud dog barking sound came from the treasure bag, and Wangcai echoed it.
This time, Li Chuan heard it clearly, and looked at Lin Sheng with a meaningful look. Cold sweat broke out on his back, fearing that he would make a mistake and lose his job.
Su Qianya looked at Lin Sheng's pocket in confusion.
Lin Sheng immediately covered his pocket and said in panic,
"Haha, a cell phone ringtone, haha, very... cute, right?"
Su Qianya met her gaze, saw through Lin Sheng's thoughts, and then glanced at Li Chuan's trembling expression, and immediately understood what was going on. She smiled and said to everyone,
"If Miss Lin can save the old man, you are welcome to come to Jinlangxian anytime in the future. Not only will everything be free, but we also provide delivery service and you can make reservations in advance. Everything is up to Miss Lin's heart, there are no rules or restrictions!"
The Su Group is the largest catering group in the city, and the Jinlangxian Hotel is very popular among the people of the city. It has first-class service and excellent food, but hotels and restaurants of this level do not provide delivery services. Now, they have made an exception for Lin Sheng.
As a senior gourmet, Lin Sheng had no resistance to this temptation. He swallowed his saliva involuntarily. Lin Sheng was really greedy and decided to eat it in one bite.
"Miss Su, please leave it to me. Give this to the old man to eat, and he will wake up tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Su Qianya's eyes lit up, her face was full of surprise, and her trust in Lin Sheng increased a little more.
After explaining the matter, Lin Sheng also avenged Bai Chengye's contempt for her. Now she felt extremely happy and left cheerfully.
The next day, Mr. Su woke up. After a checkup, he found that his coughing problem was gone. He held his daughter's hand with a face full of gratitude.
"Qianya, quickly contact Miss Lin. I want to thank you generously!"
Su Qianya was delighted to hear her father's powerful voice. She quickly took out her cell phone, but suddenly stopped.
"I actually forgot about such an important matter and didn't even leave Miss Lin's contact information."
"Quick, go check! I must express my gratitude in person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qianya asked someone to investigate.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sheng set up a fortune-telling stall in front of the Jinlangxian Hotel.
The waiter at the door was stunned when he saw this scene. He recognized Lin Sheng's identity, but didn't want to offend him, so he had to call the manager Li Chuan.
Li Chuan felt a buzzing pain in his head, but he could only force out a smile. He ran to Lin Sheng, bent down and greeted her in a nice and gentle voice.
"Ms. Lin, why didn't you say hello when you came? I'll make room for you at the table right away. Would you like to go in and have something to eat now?"
Lin Sheng's face did not change, he slowly said,
"No, I'm busy with business. I'm not hungry yet. Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."
Seeing Lin Sheng's calm expression, Li Chuan looked embarrassed and couldn't help complaining in his heart, "This fortune-telling stall is almost right in front of me, how can I not know it?"
His young lady was so easy to deceive, but Li Chuan was a cunning man. He couldn't stand Lin Sheng's behavior, but Su Qianya wanted to serve Lin Sheng, so Li Chuan could only pretend to follow suit.
If you can't afford to offend, can't you just hide away?
Li Chuan closed his eyes, and a sentence kept running in his mind, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, anger is bad for your health."
Thinking this in his heart, Li Chuan simply turned around and was about to go back, but he heard Lin Sheng suddenly say behind him,
"Prepare the food for me first. I want a double portion of the braised lion's head."
Li Chuan closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, forced out an ugly smile, gritted his teeth and said,
"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
After saying that, he went back to the store obediently.
Customers coming and going couldn't help but frown when they saw the fortune-telling stall ringing, and whispered as they entered and exited the door of Jinlangxian. Some people even turned around and left when they saw the fortune-telling stall.
Lin Sheng noticed the looks of the people passing by.
"One 10,000 yuan for a fortune telling. You can't ask for money, and I'll even give you a peace locket. Everything you need for marriage and sudden wealth is available. It's up to you. You can win without losing. Miss, would you like a fortune telling?"
The man waved his hands, stepped back, and turned and ran away.
*
Li Chuan saw that the business in the store was obviously quiet, so he immediately called Su Qianya. He wanted to tell her about his suffering, but unexpectedly he was accused by Su Qianya.
"It's just a few customers, so what if they're lost? But please keep Miss Lin for me. The old man and I are rushing over now to thank her in person."
Su Qianya hung up the phone immediately and took Grandpa Su to Jinlangxian.
After that, Li Chuan suddenly understood and said half-believingly,
"The old man is awake? Could it be that this guy really has some skills?"
His eyes inadvertently passed through the glass window and fell on the equally deserted fortune-telling stall outside the door.
Lin Sheng stared at the customers coming in and out, holding a lollipop in his mouth, his tone a little melancholy.
"With so many people coming and going, isn't there anyone who wants to have their fortune told?"
Taking a long breath, Lin Sheng raised his hand and rubbed Wangcai's head.
"It looks like we won't make any money today. We'll have to starve."
Looking up and meeting Lin Sheng's gaze, Wangcai's eyes lost their light, revealing a hint of grievance, but he suddenly rushed out the next second.
Lin Sheng's hands were free, and he followed Wangcai with his eyes. He saw the little guy biting the trouser leg of a passerby and pulling him straight to the fortune-telling stall. He couldn't help but give Wangcai a blank look.
"Wangcai, we're doing honest business. How can we force you to buy or sell? Let this young lady go. But I see your forehead is dark. Is there something on your mind lately? You could talk to me briefly."
The woman looked at Lin Sheng, her eyes swept across the sign on Lin Sheng's desk, which clearly read "10,000 yuan for a divination, guaranteed profit", and her mouth twitched slightly, her expression seemed hesitant.
"No, I'm... in a hurry."
Seeing the other party's concerns, Lin Sheng expressionlessly slapped the placard down to cover it, and smiled at the woman and said,
"You are the first fortune teller today, so you can enjoy the opening discount. The first fortune teller at this stall is free. Are you really not going to come for a fortune teller?"
The woman's eyes lit up slightly, and she slowly walked towards Lin Sheng and sat down in front of the stall, her brows full of melancholy.
"As you can see, things haven't been going well for me lately. I just broke up with my boyfriend of five years and he asked for 200,000 yuan in breakup fee. I've also been getting scolded by my boss at work.
I have few friends. After I got a boyfriend, he didn't let me interact with other people. Now that we've broken up, I'm almost alone and have no one to talk to."
Lin Sheng listened patiently and did not choose to interrupt the woman's desire to share.
"My boyfriend is a homebody. He lived in my house until we broke up two days ago and then he moved out. He said I wasted five years of his best time and asked me to pay him 200,000 yuan as a breakup fee.
I usually paid for the water and electricity bills. He didn't have a proper job and occasionally earned some pocket money by playing games and taking orders. On the day we broke up, I found out that he was bringing girls into the game, adding their contact information, playing ambiguous games with them, and coaxing them into giving him huge red envelopes.
......
The woman spoke for half an hour, finally saying everything she had been holding back for so long. She felt very relieved.
"Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my nonsense today. I don't have anything to settle."
Seeing that the woman looked like a completely different person, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel happy for her.
"It's okay, I'm done. Just treat today as a day off. Stay in a hotel for one night and enjoy your time. Don't go home yet. There's a great place behind me with good service and excellent food. You might consider it."
Hearing this, the woman showed a hint of confusion, but just because Lin Sheng was willing to spend time to provide her with emotional value, she agreed directly and turned to go into Jin Langxian to book a room.
As soon as the woman left, four elegantly dressed young ladies walked up to the fortune-telling stall.
"One divination for ten thousand, guaranteed to win, can even predict love and wealth. Ladies, would you like a divination?"
But he heard a cold snort, and the unkind words fell into Lin Sheng's ears.
"It's such a good day, but I actually ran into you. What bad luck! You can't even afford to eat, so you come out and cheat people. You really bring shame to the Lin family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people beside him walked straight forward and kicked the stall down.
