Chapter 115 Holding a grudge
Lin Yan sneered, "I am not someone that every man would like. A cup of pearl milk tea is worth less than two cents, but you are shamelessly trying to snatch it from a girl. You don't have to be so blatant even if you are short of money."
"Where did the wild octopus come from? Nonsense. Don't I have money? I can see clearly that I was hit by this woman and I have internal injuries. If you don't compensate me, you want to leave? No way." Zhao Si retorted.
"Chunmei, give him the pearl milk tea. It's your fault for not looking at the road when you walked and bumped into the frail Mr. Zhao Si. You are too strong. You don't act like a woman at all. You must be careful when you go out on the street next time. Stay three meters away from someone as frail as Mr. Zhao Si." Lin Yan said to Chunmei.
"Okay?" At this point, Chunmei had no choice but to agree while crying, silently praying in her heart that Master Lin was there, hoping that Master Chen would not beat her to death when she returned.
"Green tea, go find Manager Xiong and ask him to make a cup of pearl milk tea for Chun Meiyun alone, and put it on my bill." Lin Yan turned around and made arrangements.
"A cup of pearl milk tea costs two taels of silver. It's not nice to ask you to pay for it! Consider it a loan from me. I'll give you the money when we get back to the palace." Chunmei said gratefully. You know, pearl milk tea must be booked in advance. She didn't expect that Master Lin of Xianyue Courtyard was so nice.
"No need! I still have this little money!" Lin Yan.
Zhao Si was unwilling to do so, with a vicious light flashing in his eyes. Lin Yan said that he was weak and frail, and it was really embarrassing for a grown man to be said like this in public. "If you can't speak, don't speak anymore. If you meddle in other people's business, you may die. I am a man, and you stray cat, tell me your name."
Lin Yan raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She looked up and down at the so-called man in front of her, her eyes full of disdain, and said: "I will never change my name. I am the star of misfortune in the Rui Palace. You better be careful. If you get close to me, you will be in big trouble! You will lose every time you gamble!"
Hearing the words "unlucky star", Zhao Si's face turned pale instantly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked at Lin Yan in horror, his heart filled with fear and uneasiness.
"Bad luck!" Zhao Si was most afraid of losing every time he gambled, which was even more painful than killing him. He had never expected that this woman was the legendary unkillable star in the city.
"I don't want to drink something that is already tainted with bad luck." He said as he was about to throw the pearl tea in his hand towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan was unable to react in time and secretly cried out in alarm, thinking that her clothes would definitely be in trouble this time. At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her and swung a sword to split the pearl milk tea thrown by Zhao Si into two pieces, without touching Lin Yan at all.
"Guard Li!" Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise. This was the man she had wanted to abduct out of the mansion, but he was injured while saving her, and he had not appeared in front of her since he went back to recuperate.
"Master Lin, don't be afraid. The prince has specially ordered me to protect you." Guard Li whispered. His voice was steady and powerful, making people feel at ease.
Lin Yan's heart was beating fast and hard, not because she was afraid, but because she saw Guard Li again. If she had brought Guard Li with her last time, there would have been no problems, and she would not have been caught so easily by Zhao Yuan.
Although meeting Li Yiyuan midway was not a big loss, it would be better to have another guard Li. They both have the last name Li, so they are not brothers, right?
Lin Yan's imagination is really too rich. There are so many people in the world who believe in you. Although these two people have the same surname, Li, they are really not related at all.
Guard Li stood like a mountain blocking Lin Yan.
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, Zhao Si threatened, "Woman, remember this!" and then ran away in shame.
One of the onlookers, a man wearing a bamboo hat, quietly followed Zhao Si.
While Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she discovered a problem. Fortunately, she did not go to find Li Yiyuan at the beginning, nor did she go to her own small treasury at the beginning. Otherwise, when Guard Li reported to Zhao Yuan, she would not be able to explain herself clearly, and she didn't know how Zhao Yuan would deal with her.
Green Tea handed the newly bought bubble milk tea to Chunmei.
Chunmei immediately knelt down to bow to Lin Yan, then hurried back home with the pearl milk tea.
After this incident, Lin Yan didn’t feel like continuing shopping. She just took a quick look and prepared to go home.
When passing by the former Juyi Casino, Lin Yan stopped with some nostalgia.
She looked at the tightly closed door and the spider webs on the door and couldn't help but sigh, "It feels like this gambling house hasn't been open for a long time. There are almost spider webs on the door."
"Yes, it has never been opened since that time." Guard Li at the side echoed.
Lin Yan asked curiously: "Oh? Why?"
Guard Li smiled and replied, "This is all thanks to you, my master."
Lin Yan asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What does this have to do with me?"
Guard Li explained, "More than half a year ago, the master made a bet here, and the boss lost hundreds of thousands. Actually, this is nothing. The key is that I heard that there is another mysterious person who also bought your life and made a net profit of hundreds of thousands of taels, which caused the Juyi Casino to go bankrupt in an instant."
Lin Yan opened her mouth in surprise, feeling touched.
It turned out that when everyone in the capital was betting on her death, there were still people who believed that she would survive and were willing to place bets to support her.
She couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are actually such good people! Such a discerning person, she deserves to be rich!"
She was filled with emotion. She had not expected her fate to be so up and down, but at the same time she felt a little relieved because at least someone still had hope for her.
Lin Yan took a deep breath and said, "It's a pity to leave such a good location vacant here!" Standing in the middle of the busy street, looking at the prosperous scene in front of her, she gradually had some ideas about making money. She felt that this was a good business opportunity, and if she could make full use of it, she would definitely make a lot of money.
"If I want to rent this building, who should I contact?" Lin Yan turned around and asked Guard Li beside her. After all, to realize her plan, she had to first solve the problem of renting this building.
Guard Li scratched his head and replied, "I'm not sure either. I need to ask around!"
Lin Yan nodded to show her understanding: "Okay, thank you for your help then."
At this time, Green Tea at the side couldn't help but ask: "But Master, what are you going to do with it?" She really didn't understand why Lin Yan suddenly became interested in this building. Moreover, the storefront of the clothing store had already been given to the master by the prince, and according to Master Lin's wishes, it had been given to Wei Ma to decorate and arrange, so what was the purpose of renting another one?
Lin Yan smiled and explained, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll go back and plan it in detail." She actually already had a preliminary plan in her mind, but it needed further refinement and improvement.
