Chapter 19: Showdown (Part 2)

As soon as Lin Qingyin’s voice fell, the mobile phone on the table rang. Lin Qingyin pressed the answer button, and she heard Zhang Wu’s joyful voice from the other end: “Little Master, my company had a product problem today. Several contracts have been withdrawn, and all the previously signed orders have been canceled. I think my company now is finished!”

Lin Xu: “…………”

Why are you still happy when your company is now finished?!

Zhang Wu: “Thank you! You are the great benefactor of our family!”

Lin Xu: “…………”

I can’t understand the world of rich people.

Zhang Wu repeatedly thanked Lin Qingyin before hanging up the phone call. Lin Xu’s eyes changed when he looked at Lin Qingyin: This is brainwashing. It sounds so crazy!

Lin Qingyin was sent back to her room to finish her homework after eating. And then Lin Qingyin’s Mother narrated the things she witnessed in the park this morning to Lin Xu while cleaning up the house.

Lin Xu looked at the money in the paper bag and then looked at his wife: “Is our daughter’s divination so accurate?”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother nodded her head: “Don’t say anything else. That couple is looking for someone. Our daughter figured out where that person is just by looking at written eight characters and photos. It’s amazing. Don’t talk about other people, when I saw it, I was so excited, even up until now. I even want to ask our daughter to give me divination.”

Lin Xu glanced at the money in the paper bag with some worry: “So, are we really going to open a store? What if we lose our daughter’s money?”

“No!” Lin Qingyin’s Mother handed the jade pendant that their daughter had given to Lin Xu: “It’s from our daughter. She said we won’t be so unlucky when we wear it. In the future, we will listen to our daughter, so that we will never lose money again!”

Lin Xu took the jade pendant and put it on his neck. He didn’t know if his heart was just moved, but after wearing it, he didn’t feel that sleepy anymore.

Lin Qingyin’s Mother touched the same jade pendant on her chest and said seriously: “Our daughter said to open a small shop near the community. You see, in the past 2 years, we have been working 2 jobs every day. We got so tired that we don’t even have time to take care of our family. Qingyin will be in the 2nd Year of Highschool when the school starts. The pressure of the study will be much higher by then. Even if we can’t help her in her studies, we should at least support her psychologically. She doesn’t like to eat when I cook. So from now on, you will cook for her at home. Don’t let her get hungry.”

Lin Xu failed in business, so he already had a psychological shadow in his heart: “What kind of business should we do when we open a store?”

“Qingyin said that we should open a store and sell some ice cream, fruits, and the likes.” Lin Qingyin’s Mother looked into the room and said in a low voice: “I found out that Qingyin is very interested in eating these kinds of food recently. It’s just right to add more things that she likes to eat.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Lin Xu heavily nodded his head: “I will go to the unit to resign.”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother wrapped the paper bag and handed it to Lin Xu: “You go and deposit the money in the bank first. I am not at ease keeping so much money in the house.”

Lin Xu took the money and went out. Lin Qingyin’s Mother told her daughter that she will go to the unit to resign. Just when she was about to leave, she saw Jiang Wei and Fatty Wang came over.

After finishing their fortune-telling business this morning, Lin Qingyin and her mother went home together. Fatty Wang guessed that the mother and daughter will have a good talk. So, he went to Jiang Wei’s house and had breakfast. He thought it’s about time they finished talking, so came over with Jiang Wei.

Lin Qingyin’s Mother already knew about Fatty Wanga and Jiang Wei, so she was not as nervous as before. After letting the two get inside, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to wash the fruit and put them on the coffee table. Then, she called Lin Qingyin out of the room and instructed her: “You’re not allowed to let Jiang Wei do your homework. Do you understand?”

Lin Qingyin took a glance at Fatty Wang and dejectedly nodded her head: “I understand.”

Jiang Wei’s opened mouth was almost torn by this pleasant surprise that fell from the sky. How come happiness came so suddenly? After all, he had never written so many words after graduating from high school!

Auntie, you are more pleasing than my mother!!!

After Lin Qingyin’s Mother said those words, she looked at Jiang Wei and softly said: “Jiang Wei, it’s troublesome for you, but I will still trouble you to help Qingyin with her make up lessons.”

Jiang Wei: “Hahaha, I will, I will!”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “Next time, if Qingyin asks you to do her homework. Just ignore her and let her do it herself.”

Jiang Wei: “Hahahahaha! I will, I will!”

Hahaha, I can finally break free from this predicament!

Since she had to do her homework, she had to pause the make-up class first. Lin Qingyin took the remaining homework and textbooks, then put them on the table. Lin Qingyin kept looking for the answers from the corresponding textbooks to the homework.

Although Jiang Wei was a top student in high school, he prefers science subjects and was obsessed with the refreshing feeling of solving a complicated problem. On the contrary, he rarely gets full marks on subjects such as politics, geography, and history that focus on memorization. When Jiang Wei did Lin Qingyin’s homework on these subjects, he often looked through the books to find answers. Although he was not proficient in memorizing, he still knew exactly where the knowledge points in the book, so he only needs to turn the pages several times, and then he’ll find the answer.

Jiang Wei thought that Lin Qingyin should be similar to himself. However, Lin Qingyin frowned as she stared at her homework for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Wei propped his head and took a glance at it. He saw Lin Qingyin was staring at the multiple-choice questions on the geography test paper in a daze: “How long is your holiday vacation that you have forgotten all the contents you have learned? You can find the answers in the book. If you can’t find it easily, just flip the pages of the book.”

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he was a little worried. The Little Master looked like a very clever person. Why is her memory so bad?
Lin Qingyin looked up at Jiang Wei, put down the pen, and returned to her room. After a while, Jiang Wei saw Lin Qingyin took out a tortoiseshell. Jiang Wei and Fatty Wang were very familiar with this tortoiseshell. Recently, the Little Master always likes to hold this tortoiseshell in her hand. However, in just a few days, it looked much brighter than before.

  1. Please tell me she’s not going to use the tortoise shell as a magic eight ball to guess the multiple choice questions. LOL. I love this story. Thanks for the updates.
