Chapter 224 Something's Wrong with Li Li
"Um!"
Li Jing nodded and said, "I went to Siam a couple of days ago and brought the things back, but I noticed something was wrong. Every night, I can hear them crying!"
"I asked the master, and he said that the two little ones were restraining each other and wouldn't affect me. He said the crying was because they were full of resentment, and I shouldn't pay attention to it. He said that you have to pay the price for what you want to get!"
"To hell with the consequences! It's clearly because his skills aren't up to par!"
At this point, his eyes reddened. "I asked him for a solution, and he told me to bear it all myself. How am I supposed to bear it? He could at least give me a talisman!"
"Did you ask him for a talisman?"
I suppressed a laugh; this bastard brought it all on himself.
"He said two million per ticket, is he treating me like an idiot?!" Li Jing was so aggrieved he was about to cry.
I turned around, took a deep breath, and suppressed my smile.
"Brother Jing, my fees are also very high!" Fatty Lin said expressionlessly.
I admire Lin the Fat for this; no matter how funny something is, he can hold back his laughter.
I've figured it out. The master Li Jing found treated him like a leek, repeatedly harvesting him.
When you ask for the first baby, make one cut; when you ask him to make another baby using his own flesh and blood, make another cut; when you sell the talisman, make the third cut; and you will definitely have to make cuts again later.
"Xiao Lin, no matter how expensive you are, you won't cheat me!" Li Jing said.
"Brother Jing, you're right about that!"
Fatty Lin chuckled, pondered for a moment, and said, "What you want to solve is the problem of hearing crying, not these two little darlings, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Jing nodded repeatedly and said, "These two little darlings are for changing my luck. I only want to solve the problem of their crying, not get rid of them!"
"Okay, Jing-ge, my current appearance fee is two million. I sell my tickets to those celebrities in Hong Kong for one million each. I'll give you three, for a total of five million. For Sister Wen's sake, I'll give you a 30% discount, so it'll be three hundred and fifty. You can ask around; it's not expensive at all!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"Kobayashi, this money isn't expensive!"
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, "But I can't come up with that much money right now. I don't have that much working capital. All my money is invested in my business!"
"Brother Jing, how much money do you have?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Less than two hundred!" Li Jing said.
Hearing this, I understood that the main reason he came to us wasn't because the driver he hired was a rip-off, but because the price he was paying was too high and he couldn't afford it!
"Okay, Brother Jing, give me 150 first, and you can pay me back slowly when you have the money, how about that?" Fatty Lin said.
"Okay, no problem!"
Li Jing was overjoyed, wishing he could kowtow to Fatty Lin.
"Jing-ge, with Sister Wen and Sister Ying's connections, I definitely have to take care of you!"
Fatty Lin stood up, patted Li Jing, and said, "I'll get you some talismans right now. Wear one on your person, and once it's worn away by the resentment and has lost its effect, wear a second and a third!"
"well!"
Li Jing rubbed his hands together and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ten minutes later, Li Jing left with his little baby.
Watching Li Jing get into the car, Long Nier turned around and asked, "Fatty, why did you help him?"
"hehe!"
Fatty Lin gave a sinister smile and said, "Girl, do you think I'm helping him?"
"Isn't that right?" Long Nier asked, somewhat surprised.
"Ni'er, let me tell you, his two little darlings are really fierce. He might have a change of fortune at first if he takes them back, but it's all just superficial prosperity!" Fatty Lin said.
"What do you mean?" Long Nier asked.
"The meaning is simple. Those two little darlings hate him to death right now. If it weren't for the restrictions, they would have killed him long ago!" Fatty Lin scoffed, saying, "His own daughter hates him because he, as her father, didn't treat her like a human being; he treated her like a tool!"
"Even the child who isn't his biological son hates him. What does 'binding spirit' mean? What does 'the system of virgin boys and girls' mean? It's basically the same as forcing a ghost marriage!"
"These little darlings, driven by hatred and resentment, are selfish. How can they possibly be happy being forcibly bound together like this!"
"Nier, just you wait and see. Even if Li Jing's luck changes, it'll be a bad one. He may look prosperous on the surface, but he's rotten inside!"
"Still doing business? Still want to get rich?"
"Make a fortune off shit!"
"Fatty, do you want to see him suffer?" Long Nier realized what was going on.
"That's right, I want to see him suffer!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Someone like him only looks human; he's not human at all!"
A few days after Li Jing left, a great disaster suddenly struck – an earthquake.
The three of us chipped in and donated ten million.
The eldest brother, Long, took the initiative to organize a charity performance and led the way in donating money and goods.
Regardless of what kind of person Brother Long is, he can still stand firm on such crucial issues and matters of principle.
The three of us weren't idle either. We worked with our eldest brother, Long, for about a month, and even went to the disaster area ourselves.
We were busy until June, but instead of rushing back to Hong Kong Island, we went to Wuhu, where Li Li was filming. We planned to visit her.
We've been in touch every now and then these past few months.
Li Li's initial estrangement towards the three of us has returned to its previous familiarity.
She would share her work with us from time to time, and occasionally complain to me about how tiring it was.
I subtly inquired about her relationship with Third Master and unexpectedly discovered that they were together.
She no longer calls Third Master her godfather, and when she mentions him, her face is full of sweetness, just like a girl in love.
This shocked me.
The last time they met, she called Third Master her godfather.
She had absolutely no romantic feelings for Third Master; she only regarded him as an elder.
It hasn't been that long, and she's already with Third Master!
Something's not right!
I tried to ask more questions, but her assistant noticed and interrupted our conversation.
Less than an hour after that phone call, Third Uncle called us to give me a dressing down.
Third Master told me over the phone not to talk to Li Li about anything irrelevant, and added that Li Li was now his woman.
Although I had already guessed that they were together, I still couldn't quite believe it when Third Master confirmed it with me.
After giving her a warning, Third Master brought the conversation back on track, saying that all women are like that, they'll throw themselves at you if you give them a little sweetness, and even cited Aunt Xiao as an example.
Finally, Third Master reminded me again, saying that if Li Li calls again, I should coax her to come over and not mention the past.
It was this phone call that made me want to meet Li Li and see what was going on.
That's why, after finishing up about the earthquake, we didn't go back to Hong Kong Island, but instead went to Wuhu to see Li Li.
