Fortune Teller Master

Chapter 18.1: Captured Part 1



When Lin Qingyin’s Mother just came back, she was very nervous, but as soon as she opened the door, she found out that these two men were simply studying with her daughter. Suddenly, she felt refreshed and the smile on her face became even more brilliant.

Lin Qingyin and Jiang Wei didn’t think too much when they saw Lin Qingyin’s Mother come back. It was Fatty Wang, an old fox, who wanted to understand things more. So, he used this opportunity to chat and pulled Jiang Wei in: “This is our city’s Top 1 in the college entrance examination.” He also showed an article about it that year on his mobile phone to Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “Now, he is the top student in the Mathematics Department at the Imperial Capital University. He will take the postgraduate exam this year.”

If Lin Qingyin’s Mother was just enthusiastic to the two, now her eyes were shining while looking at Jiang Wei: “He is the Top 1 in the college entrance exam! And also, from the Imperial Capital University, wow!” Lin Qingyin’s Mother doesn’t know to say in excitement, she simply blurted out: “I’ll cook for you!”

Lin Qingyin, who had been gnawing on watermelons, immediately put it down and rushed over when she heard her mother’s words: “Mom, mom, your cooking is too smokey. It’s bad for the guest, so don’t do it.”

Lin Qingyin felt that her mother was not aware of her cooking skill. Otherwise, how can she be confident to show off her cooking skills to the outsiders!

“Is it too smokey?” Lin Qingyin’s Mother looked back at the kitchen. Their kitchen was on the balcony, and there was only an old sliding door between it and the living room. Because it’s too old, it can only be pulled halfway. Usually, the smoke often entered the house.

Thinking about the old-fashioned range hood that was very noisy and had bad effects, Lin Qingyin’s Mother then looked at the books and exercise books on the table and changed her mind: “Qingyin is right, cooking will delay your study. Well, I’ll invite you to eat outside.” After saying those words, Lin Qingyin’s Mother quickly estimated her money in the bag and said with a smile: “There is a restaurant outside our community that tastes good.”

Fatty Wang immediately stopped: “Don’t, don’t! Big sister, we are not outsiders. We are very familiar with Qingyin, so you don’t need to be so polite. Qingyin said that eating out would delay her study, so we have already ordered takeaway.” He showed his takeaway order to Lin Qingyin’s Mother and said: “It will be delivered in 20 minutes.”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother originally took advantage of taking an hour’s leave at noon. Since there was nothing wrong at home and they ordered takeaway, Lin Qingyin’s Mother decided to go back to her work. It’s unnecessary to delay the time any further. Otherwise, she will have a hard time to ask for a leave next time.

Seeing that the watermelon on the coffee table was almost eaten, Lin Qingyin’s Mother cleaned it up so that they wouldn’t clean it later: “I just came back to bring you fruits. Tell me what you want to eat next time. After all, how can I let you bring your own food when you give makeup lessons to Qingyin.”

Jiang Wei rubbed his head and shyly smiled: “Auntie, we are not an outsider. Little Master… … Qingyin helped me, so it’s just a trivial matter.”

Lin Qingyin nodded in agreement: “Yes, yes, he only gets a little busy.”

Fatty Wang covered his face, but then busily gave them a supporting statement with a smile: “Qingyin loves to help others.”

Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “… …”

The more you talk about it, the more I find it unusual.

But there were outsiders at home, and Lin Qingyin’s Mother was too embarrassed to ask. After saying a few polite sentences, she carried her bag to go back to work: “Then you continue to study, I have to go back to work immediately.” Lin Qingyin’s Mother waved her hand: “I’ll treat you next weekend to dinner, thank you very much.”

Fatty Wang smiled and sent Lin Qingyin’s Mother all the way to the door. He felt tired and relieved after closing the door.

When he went back to the living room, he saw Jiang Wei continuing to give lessons. Fatty Wang hurriedly squeezed between the two and asked: “Master, does your family know that you’re going out and doing fortune-telling?”

“They don’t know!” Lin Qingyin said of course: “They never asked me.”

Fatty Wang looked at Lin Qingyin and saw her usual facial expression. He suddenly felt tired: “Then, have you ever wonder what if your mother finds out that you’re doing fortune-telling?”

Fatty Wang added with a serious face: “I give people fortune-telling not only because it’s my ancestor’s job, but also because I didn’t study well and didn’t go to university. After graduation, I went out to work, but the salary is very poor. Also, you think about it, I have 6 apartments, the monthly rent is enough to feed me and my family. So why should I work hard to earn 2000 yuan? It’s much better to go out and give someone fortune-telling! I’m happy whenever I make money, but if I don’t, it’s also good to chat and joke around with people. It’s better than staying at home. Master, but you are different from me!”

Lin Qingyin looked at him angrily: “Why am I different? Because I don’t have 6 apartments?”

Fatty Wang was infuriated with Lin Qingyin’s focus: “Do you have one?”

Lin Qingyin’s anger suddenly collapsed: “I don’t… …”

“That’s not it.” Fatty Wang said helplessly: “In fact, the point is not the apartment. I have nothing else to do after graduation. I think doing something outside is better than staying at home, but you are different!” Fatty Wang pointed his finger on the books on the table: “Although I only chat with your mother for a short moment, I can see that she attaches great importance to your study. Although she doesn’t expect you to be Top 1 in college entrance examination like Jiang Wei, she certainly hopes you can get into a good university.”

“I know!” Lin Qingyin nodded in depression: “If it weren’t for the college entrance exam, I wouldn’t let Jiang Wei make up classes for me. In fact, I think it’s good to go to Xindongfang College to learn cooking. I checked it out on my mobile phone. They teach a lot of things there, Cantonese cuisine, Shandong, Huaiyang…”

Fatty Wang regretted answering Lin Qingyin’s question yesterday about where the chefs graduated. He didn’t expect Lin Qingyin’s ambitions to be so different! Why go to Xindongfang College to learn cooking? She should study Feng Shui School in Hong Kong. At least, she won’t encounter problems after graduating.

Realizing that his focus was missed by Lin Qingyin, Fatty Wang straightforwardly summarized the key to her problem: “If you go out and do fortune-telling, your mother will get worried that it will delay your studies, and…” He scratched his cheeks in worry. He doesn’t know if this question was a taboo to the little master.

When Lin Qingyin saw him, she understood what he was trying to say: “You mean what if my mother asks me who I learned this skill with?”

Fatty Wang nodded in relief: “After all, there are relatively few fortune-tellers like me.”

Lin Qingyin looked at Fatty Wang. She wanted to ask how good he was in this aspect. However, she really needs to consider what Fatty Wang said carefully. In fact, when she first went out to give fortune-telling, she didn’t think so much at all. She just wanted to earn money to buy spiritual jade to cultivate. But recently, she has been dealing with a lot of people, she knows that she also needs to consider her parents.

Fortune-telling must be continued. It’s important to take good care of her parents and fulfill the owner’s wish to enter university, but she can’t give up her fortune-telling.

Lin Qingyin thought for a moment. She felt that if her mother found out, it’s much better, she wouldn’t worry about how to give them money. The most important issue was her relatives… …

Outsiders were only concerned about the accuracy of her fortune-telling, but her relatives will focus on where she learned it from, right?
