As Shen Yi drove his new car out of the 4S store, he still couldn't quite believe it. Had the luxury car of his dreams really come into his life? Was he not dreaming?
In his shock, Shen Yi even forgot the shock brought on by his daughter's words.
Lying in Zhao Shuyan's arms, Shen Nanyi was rather listless. Her mind was still occupied by the task assigned by the system.
Just thinking about it made Shen Nanyi's heart ache. Suddenly, she remembered the number given by the system. Maybe all the funds were in there? Shen Nanyi still held high hopes.
She had recently read some random novels, in which the systems were all extremely generous. Her system should be no exception, right?
"Dad, take me to the lottery shop."
Thinking of this, Shen Nanyi's mood improved a lot. She called out to Shen Yi in a soft, sweet voice.
Even though she had a mature soul deep inside, her age and voice made her sound soft and cute no matter what.
"Okay, right away."
When his daughter made the request, Shen Yi readily agreed. The sports car smoothly cruised on the road.
Shen Yi hadn't even noticed that by now, he had already gotten used to his less-than-one-year-old daughter communicating with him normally. He even regarded Shen Nanyi as an adult.
With the whole family in the car, Shen Yi slowed the car down a lot, which caught the attention of some other drivers.
Undoubtedly, the BMW M series was the dream car for many car enthusiasts. It wasn't strange to see one on the road. What surprised them was that the sports car was driving so slowly! It was truly a waste!
They would never admit that they were jealous.
The honking sounds around them kept coming. Shen Yi seemed to realize something and stepped on the accelerator, quickly speeding away.
The acceleration performance of the M series was needless to say. In just a few seconds, all that was left for everyone was a blur.
Watching the car speed away, although they should have been happy, for some reason, they couldn't feel happy at all. Instead, they felt even more jealous.
Why did they have to suffer this kind of heartache at noon?
At noon, it was the quietest time for the lottery shop. The lottery shop owner was sitting on a rocking chair at the door of the shop, leisurely watching the passing vehicles.
Suddenly, a car stopped across the road. The faint luster of the car was so eye - catching that it was hard to look away. It looked very expensive.
The lottery shop owner's gossipy nature was immediately piqued. She craned her neck to see who was inside.
For her, there was nothing more exciting than uncovering a new piece of gossip.
The car door opened. Shen Yi got out of the car first and then opened the door for Zhao Shuyan.
When she saw Shen Yi get out of the car, the lottery shop owner felt that he looked familiar. It wasn't until Zhao Shuyan got out with the baby in her arms that the shop owner opened her mouth in surprise.
Why did she have such a deep impression of Shen Nanyi? It was all because of Shen Nanyi's big - spending spree that day. She had bought thousands of yuan worth of lottery tickets, but not a single one was worth more than a hundred yuan. She was really unlucky.
But today, at this moment, the lottery shop owner felt that she was the unlucky one.
Seeing the family walking towards her, the shop owner quickly stood up and showed what she thought was a kind smile to Shen Yi's family. This was like a fortune - bringing god coming to her. She could already see the money waving at her.
Previously, this family could spend thousands of yuan even without such an expensive car. Now that they were so rich, maybe they would spend tens of thousands!
The lottery shop owner was already worrying about whether there was enough paper for printing lottery tickets in her shop. She was even thinking about calling the people at Lin Jing's lottery shop to borrow some.
While she was still thinking, Shen Yi's family had already reached the door of the lottery shop.
Coincidentally, Shen Yi was still wearing the same clothes he had worn when he came to the shop that day. They were very ordinary clothes, but in the shop owner's eyes, they seemed to have a faint glow.
"Boss, one lottery ticket. Here's the number."
Shen Yi's attitude was no different from before. He was very gentle to others and didn't change his attitude at all because of his sudden wealth.
As he said this, Shen Yi handed the note in his hand to the shop owner.
"Okay."
Completely out of reflex, the shop owner agreed and walked into the shop with the note.
Due to her extreme shock, she didn't even realize that Shen Yi only wanted one lottery ticket.
"Hey? Do you want to add more tickets?"
When she reached the door, the shop owner finally regained her wits. Holding the lottery ticket in her hand, she felt a bit disappointed.
Looking at the car Shen Yi drove made her feel better. She thought that she could take some pictures of the car later and post them online. It would attract a lot of traffic. Thinking like this, the shop owner finally felt balanced, and her attitude towards Shen Yi was still quite good.
"No, thanks."
Waving his hand, Shen Yi was still a bit scared. He remembered the painful experience last time and rejected the idea of adding more tickets without even thinking.
His daughter had bought nearly a thousand lottery tickets, and the highest amount she had won was just a few dozen yuan. When it came to lottery tickets, their family really didn't have much luck. Maybe all their luck had been used up on antiques.
Shen Yi very readily gave the shop owner two coins and then the family left, leaving the shop owner standing there, holding the two coins and in a daze.
Now the shop owner was thinking whether she should enshrine these two coins.
At first, Zhao Shuyan had planned to tidy up the furniture and move to the new house. But now it wasn't necessary at all. They only needed to pack some daily necessities and clothes, and the whole family could move. Zhao Shuyan felt much more relaxed. She simply decided to leave all the furniture at home for the next tenant.
The next day they were going to move, but there was no sign of mess at home. The whole family was sitting neatly on the sofa, watching TV and enjoying their last day in this house.
Looking at the house where they had lived for so long, Zhao Shuyan felt a bit reluctant to leave. At the same time, she was even more eager for the new house.
At 8:30 p.m., the Double - Color Ball lottery was broadcast on time. Hearing the host's voice on TV, Shen Yi just remembered the lottery ticket he had bought today.
In order not to disappoint his daughter, Shen Yi quickly took out the lottery ticket and pretended to be very interested, watching the TV. In fact, there was not a single ripple in his heart. He didn't think he could win the lottery at all.
Shen Nanyi was sitting on the sofa very seriously, full of expectation. She knew that she would definitely win the lottery if nothing unexpected happened. She just didn't know how much she would win.
The good thing about the welfare lottery draw was that it was on time and not long - winded. The host said just a few words and then was ready to announce the results.
The number of the blue ball was announced first. It was exactly the same as the one on Shen Yi's lottery ticket. At this moment, Shen Yi still didn't realize anything was wrong. After all, the first numbers of many previous lottery tickets had also matched, but in the end, they had only won five yuan.
It wasn't until four consecutive numbers were exactly the same that Shen Yi had a faint, almost unbelievable premonition. He stared at the TV without blinking, completely different from his previous absent - mindedness.
They were only two numbers away from the grand prize!
