Chapter 24: Borrowing Luck



Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "I only told Third Master about this matter. If it weren't for Third Master's help, how could he have been so efficient and asked me to report to the Acting Department tomorrow?"

"Furthermore, your first reaction when you heard about this was not surprise, but denial. This is enough to prove that you are also aware of this matter."

Ren Quan was stunned, and swallowed for a long time: "Madam, this is all your own guess, I didn't say anything."

"The Third Master asked you to keep it a secret?" Qiao Ruoxi was a little surprised.

Ren Quan nodded: "By the way, Madam, the Third Master also said that he is on a business trip recently and will not be back for a few days."

Qiao Ruoxi nodded. She didn't expect that the Third Master was so righteous and would do good deeds without leaving his name.

After Mr. Pei San comes back, she has to discuss with him a plan to treat her leg disease, otherwise she will owe him more and more favors.

When they returned to Riyue Villa, Aunt Zhang told her that Mr. Pei's bodyguard had delivered something and was in the living room.

Before Qiao Ruoxi walked over, she heard two men talking from afar.

"Ajie, what do you think Third Master was thinking? He actually used this scarce fabric and let that girl mess it up. Isn't this a waste of manpower and resources?"

"A Fei, be careful with your address. Have you forgotten what Third Master told you? This cloth was bought by Third Master, so naturally, Third Master can give it to whoever he wants!"

"I just feel bad. The weaving method of this fabric is an intangible cultural heritage. It's not public at all and can't be mass-produced. I have no problem using such fine fabric in haute couture, but..."

"A Fei, stop talking!"

Ajie poked Afei's arm, and saw Qiao Ruoxi coming over, so he stood up immediately.

Ah Fei also stood up, but his tone was not very friendly: "Madam, these fabrics were sent to you by the Third Master. We will leave after the things are delivered."

"Thank you." Qiao Ruoxi nodded, walked to the fabric and touched it.

It was indeed good material, and the weaving method was very special. It was breathable and not easy to wrinkle. It was similar to the weaving method of an old lady she had met in the mountains before, but not exactly the same.

"Madam, this material is very precious. If you want to make clothes for the Third Master, you should refer to more magazines and don't waste it." Ah Fei took out a stack of magazines from his bag and placed them in front of Qiao Ruoxi.

Ajie slapped Ah Fei hard and said, "We have no right to control how the lady makes the fabric. You are being very rude. Apologize now!"

Ah Fei was about to apologize reluctantly, but was stopped by Qiao Ruoxi: "Thank you for reminding me, I'll take all these things, thank you!"

Ah Fei was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qiao Ruoxi to be so generous. Not only did she not blame him, but she also thanked him. He couldn't help but blush.

Just as the two were about to leave, Qiao Ruoxi stopped them.

"Your name is A Fei? Has someone been borrowing things from you frequently recently?" Qiao Ruoxi looked at A Fei's forehead and pinched her fingers.

Ah Fei was stunned, remembering that his cousin had been borrowing money from him recently and never paying it back.

First, he had an abortion for his girlfriend, and then he had to pay off his mortgage and car loan. Under pressure from his mother, he couldn't save face and borrowed all the money, which totaled tens of thousands.

However, it was not easy to tell outsiders about such family matters, so she shook her head and said, "It's nothing, thank you, Mrs. for your concern."

Qiao Ruoxi took a piece of paper, picked up the brush and drew a talisman, then folded it and gave it to Ah Fei: "Borrowing money from evil is borrowing luck. You will have a disaster in three days. Wear this close to your body, and it will ensure you get through it safely."

Ah Fei twitched his lips, but Ah Jie was kind enough to take it for Ah Fei: "Thank you, ma'am."

After leaving the living room, Ajie handed the talisman to Afei: "This is a gift from my wife, you should keep it."

Without thinking, Ah Fei threw the thing into the flower bed.

"Do you really believe what the little girl said? If I can borrow money to get luck, I will go and borrow money from Master Pei San right away!"

"You dare?"

“I dare not…”

"If you ask me, you can believe it exists but not believe it doesn't." Ajie persuaded Afei to pick up the talisman paper.

Ah Fei's face was full of indifference: "I am an atheist just like the Third Master. Besides, have you ever seen anyone draw talismans with white paper and ink? Don't they usually use yellow paper and cinnabar? So it must be a bluff. I heard that college students nowadays like to study metaphysics, but they are all half-baked!"

After hearing this, Ajie also felt that it made some sense.

Qiao Ruoxi studied it for a whole night and became very interested in the clothing designs in the magazine.

Finally, by combining the magazine's concept with her ideas, she designed a casual suit and hung it in the room.

She didn't know Pei Yaozhou's size, and everything was done according to her memory, especially the memory of that night.

That very night, Qiao Ruoxi drank all the ice water in the refrigerator.

The next day, Ren Quan did not come to take her to school. Qiao Ruoxi was relieved and called a ride-hailing car to go to school with her mobile phone.

She has a strong learning ability and is now basically proficient in using a mobile phone. She is also gradually getting used to the expressions and language of people in this era through short videos.

When reporting to the Acting Department, Qiao Ruoxi saw a familiar face.

"Classmate Ruoxi, we meet again. I forgot to introduce myself last time. My name is Luo Yubai." The boy's sapphire eyes curved slightly, and he extended a hand towards Qiao Ruoxi in a gentlemanly manner.

Qiao Ruoxi also extended her hand and shook hands with Luo Yubai: "Qiao Ruoxi."

Even the acting teachers who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women couldn't help but smile.

"What a talented man and beautiful woman, what a perfect match!"

The department head coughed and took the two of them to the classroom.

"Look, recently everyone's been preparing for the final play. Even though you two joined midway, you still have to take the final exam. I'm wondering if anyone's missing from the group?"

"We are short of people, Mr. Luo, please join our team!"

"We are also short of people, we are short of Luo Shao!"

"Us too!"

Luo Yubai's identity is known to everyone, and his arrival has undoubtedly become the focus of this performance department. No matter who it is, they all hope to establish some relationship with the Luo family through Luo Shao.

On the contrary, Qiao Ruoxi, who had a bad reputation in the past, was not very popular. Only one boy blushed and asked if Qiao Ruoxi could join their group.

The department head was very happy and immediately made the decision: "Qiao Ruoxi, you will go to group number three."

Team No. 3 consisted of four people, two boys and two girls. The two boys smiled at each other, and one of them stood up with a red face.

"Classmate Ruoxi, we meet again. Do you still remember me?"

Qiao Ruoxi thought for a while and then remembered: "I remember. I saw him in the cafeteria."

"So you still remember me. My name is Qin Shi. From now on, we will be a family in the same group!" Qin Shi blushed and was very excited.

The girl with twin ponytails on the side glanced at Qin Shi and curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "You treat others as family, but they may not treat you as family."
