Chapter 6
The next day, Jinlangxian was surrounded by many customers early in the morning. There was no room for everyone in the store. When asked why, everyone said,
"I came to see the play to attend Miss Lin's invitation yesterday."
Jinlangxian became a hit as soon as it opened. Li Chuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the customers coming and going in the store. He admired Lin Sheng from the bottom of his heart.
"This isn't Miss Lin, this is clearly my God of Wealth!"
He turned around and reserved the best seat for Lin Sheng, and prepared tea and food early, just waiting for Lin Sheng to arrive.
Lin Sheng got up very early. When he opened his eyes, the sun was high in the sky. It was noon.
"I'm just hungry, it's time to go get some food, Wangcai, we should go."
Wangcai came running when he heard the sound, stuck out his tongue, golden light flashed in his eyes, his tail wagging happily, and he ran obediently to Lin Sheng.
The customers at Jinlangxian were getting a little impatient and curiously asked Li Chuan,
"When will Miss Lin arrive? I've been waiting all morning. Maybe she doesn't dare to come?"
Li Chuan didn't dare to urge Lin Sheng, fearing that it would enter Lin Sheng's grudge notebook again, so he could only persuade him patiently.
"Maybe he hasn't woken up yet. You guys came too early today. It was 4pm yesterday. It's still early now."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they had got the time wrong. There was nothing they could do, so they simply ordered some food and ate while waiting.
After everyone's dishes were served, Lin Sheng slowly appeared at the door of the store.
"Hey, Miss Lin is here!"
As soon as he entered the store, Lin Sheng heard this and glanced around.
"Wow, today is really lively."
When Li Chuan saw her, his eyes lit up and he quickly went to meet her.
"Ms. Lin, the food is ready for you. Would you like to eat in the inner room first?"
Lin Sheng took a quick look and found a corner seat by the window.
"No need for a private room, the window seat is fine, the view is great."
Li Chuan nodded respectfully and immediately told the waiter to bring out the dishes.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Sheng, with no intention of moving away.
Lin Sheng felt everyone's gaze and joked in a bright voice,
"The food won't taste good if it's cold. I may look good, but I can't fill my stomach. Of all the world's great things, dry rice is the most important. The best is yet to come."
Everyone came to their senses, lowered their heads and started eating.
After noon, a woman suddenly ran to Lin Sheng's table, her words full of gratitude.
"Ms. Lin, thanks to your reminder yesterday, I turned on the surveillance camera last night and found out that my ex-boyfriend had been stalking me at the door of the apartment with a dagger in his hand. When he found out I was not there in the middle of the night, he started kicking the door frantically and cursing at the door.
No wonder you asked me to stay in the hotel for one night yesterday. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have met my end by now. I can never repay you for saving my life. In the future, if you need me anywhere, I will do my best to help you!"
The woman's face was already covered with traces of tears. No amount of words could express her gratitude. Her whole body was shaking with emotion, and finally she bowed ninety degrees to Lin Sheng.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng immediately became serious. He quickly stood up and helped the woman up with both hands.
"You don't need to be so polite. You are older than me, so I should call you sister. If you bow to me, I'm afraid it will shorten my life. But it's fate, so I saved you."
The woman stood up, wiped the tears from her face, shook Lin Sheng's hands, and said in a choked voice,
"You deserve this tribute. After five years of relationship, I finally realized today how cruel he could be. Just because I didn't give him 200,000 yuan, he actually killed me. I finally see his true colors. Thank you, Miss Lin, for your help."
Through the woman's words, everyone roughly understood what was going on and felt sorry for her.
"Girl, you've really made a mistake. This man is a piece of shit. He even dared to threaten me with a knife. Call the police right away. Don't be foolish and risk your life."
"You're really embarrassing us men! Five years have been a waste. Girl, break up with him immediately and send him to jail. We can't let this kind of scourge live on for the New Year. It would be so embarrassing if everyone knew about it."
"Ms. Lin, you are amazing. Can you tell my fortune?"
Others followed suit.
"I want to ask for your opinion too!"
Lin Sheng raised his hands, signaling everyone to stop talking, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and kindly reminded,
"Everyone spends wisely, so please be sensible."
A voice came from the crowd,
"Compared to fate, ten thousand is nothing. I'm willing to pay one hundred thousand. Miss Lin, please tell me your fortune first."
Upon hearing this, bidding suddenly broke out.
Li Chuan was dumbfounded. The situation suddenly changed and he had no time to react.
"Is that... done?"
Before he could answer his doubts, Li Chuan met Lin Sheng's eyes, understood what he meant, and immediately stood in front of everyone.
"Everyone, be quiet. Listen to Miss Lin's instructions."
The noise in his ears finally stopped. Lin Sheng saw everyone's hopeful eyes, shook his head helplessly, and said,
"I made enough money yesterday, so I'm not open today to tell fortunes. If you meet me again next time, I'll definitely pay you for a fortune."
The crowd sighed, and one of them stood up.
"Ms. Lin, the chances of meeting you are too small. Please pick a time and place, and we will all be waiting there, and you can tell us your fortune."
The others couldn't help but agree.
"Yes, Ms. Lin, money is not a problem. We just want to ask for a fortune. Please give us a chance."
Seeing that everyone was petitioning, Lin Sheng looked a little embarrassed, and then he relaxed.
"Well, let's do this. I usually broadcast live online. You can follow me and I'll help you calculate it in the live room. Please follow the official account 'The pie falling from the sky hits my head'. If possible, please help me spread the word. Thank you very much!"
On that day, the net number of followers of "A Pie Fell from the Sky and Hits My Head" increased by 200.
Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel complacent when he saw the number of his fans.
"The 200 goal has been achieved, so how far can 2000 be?"
As he spoke, he fantasized about his wonderful life in the future, and Lin Sheng was completely unaware of the tail following him.
Seeing Lin Sheng get on the taxi, Lin Yiyi hurriedly told the driver,
"Uncle Wang, follow him."
The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror and felt something was wrong.
"Girl, which rich man have you offended? We're being followed. Do you want to get rid of him?"
Lin Sheng looked in the rearview mirror and saw a luxury car following behind her not too far away. No one else would be so bored to care about her so much except Lin Yiyi. She chuckled.
"No, just let him follow and see what tricks they are up to."
The driver couldn't help but be curious, and his eyes fell on Lin Sheng through the rearview mirror.
"Girl, you are so beautiful, are you being pursued by some persistent suitor?"
When the words fell into Lin Sheng's ears, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and he responded with a sincere face.
"She's not some suitor at all. She's the daughter of my shameless father and his mistress. My father angered my mother to death over this mother and son, leaving me all alone and helpless. He cruelly kicked her out of the house. 80% of the time, she came here to see me laugh at my expense."
Hearing this, the driver's face turned red with anger, he slammed the steering wheel and cursed,
"What a beast! How could you do such a wicked thing? Girl, you're also a miserable person. I can't help you much, but my driving skills are amazing. I was once a racing champion. Hold on tight, I'll take her for you!"
Lin Sheng was infected by the uncle's true nature, and his hands cooperated to hold the handle of the front seat tightly. Before he could react, the taxi rushed out directly. Lin Sheng felt a strong push on his back, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He hurriedly pulled Wangcai's dog leash,
"No, uncle, are you serious? Take it easy, I don't want to lose my life here—"
The driver had a confident look on his face, with a look of determination in his eyes. He assured Lin Sheng,
"Just wait and see!"
Seeing that the car in front was about to hit, Lin Sheng screamed in surprise, but he didn't have time to warn others.
The uncle made a smooth and sharp turn, and Lin Sheng was thrown to the other end of the seat. He gasped, clenched his hands tighter, and used his other hand to hug the trembling Wangcai tightly in his arms.
Although the car was going fast enough, the driver kept taking detours. The taxi appeared and disappeared in front of Lin Yiyi's eyes. Her mood was like a roller coaster, up and down.
"Uncle Wang, it appears again, hurry up and catch up!"
Uncle Wang stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward immediately, but the taxi disappeared again in the next second.
At the end of the competition, the taxi driver sent Lin Sheng to his destination and said complacently,
"Girl, my driving skills are pretty good, right?"
Lin Sheng felt that all he could see were stars, his mind had long been in a mess. He leaned back on the back seat and weakly gave the uncle a thumbs up.
"Jane...it's quite unexpected."
Wangcai, who was standing by, had already fainted and was unconscious.
After a long pause, Lin Sheng finally got up and saw the fare on the taxi.
"Five hundred dollars! Uncle, you are really awesome. I admire you so much."
The driver responded embarrassedly,
"Hey, if you keep praising me, I'll get proud. I've done a great job on this order today! I won't charge you any money."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his phone to scan the code and pay.
"I still have to pay the normal 20 yuan fare. I can't ride in your car for free."
After Lin Sheng got out of the car, she saw the car slowly approaching and parked not far from the villa. She simply ignored it and went straight into the house. Wangcai followed behind her tremblingly, his steps unsteady.
"Miss, Miss Sheng must have discovered us. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to do this?"
Uncle Wang couldn't help but worry about Lin Sheng.
"She's not some young lady! The Lin family only has one young lady, and my father only has one daughter, so that can only be me, Lin Yiyi. Lin Sheng is just a bastard, what's wrong with that? Just do your job well and don't meddle in other things."
Lin Yiyi scolded him harshly, took a photo of the villa, and spoke in a bad tone.
"It's really unexpected that she lives in such a high-end villa. Since I can't deal with her, I want to see if her group of poor relatives will let her go!"
After saying that, he immediately sent out the photos he took, and Lin Yiyi's mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
