To be honest, when Ji Xiaoli was extremely poor, she once dreamed of winning the lottery and becoming rich overnight. After all, her imagination was restricted by poverty at that time, and she really couldn't think of any other way to get rich overnight except winning the lottery.
In order to make this dream more realistic, she specially went to Zhihu to ask a question - What's it like to win 5 million?
Most of the answers she received were anonymous. Ji Xiaoli flipped through them one by one, hiding under the covers and fantasizing about the day when she really won the lottery...
Now, she can't remember many details, but she firmly remembers one thing - donation!
Those who are rich but heartless will be punished by heaven!
Once you win a big prize, reporters will swarm in for exclusive interviews and even force you to donate.
A few hours ago, Ji Xiaoli thought that the first thing she would do after having 60 million would be to buy a car or a house.
A few hours later, reality slapped her hard in the face.
In full view of everyone, she signed her name on the check and said with a smiling face, "Of course, I also hope that this donation can reach more people in need."
Reporter Yuan Fang was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes. "You're really a kind - hearted person. Good luck will always be with you!"
Ji Xiaoli forced a smile.
When she saw that her good - luck value didn't change at all after the donation, she realized that good luck seemed to be lost this time.
After getting rid of the reporters, Ji Xiaoli hurriedly found the system to question it.
Ji Xiaoli: What's going on? Why didn't my good - luck value increase after I donated? Doesn't this count as spending money?
The good - luck value remained stable at 437.
Ji Xiaoli became even more nervous. She had just donated 1 million. Logically, her good - luck value should have increased by 10,000, right?
What's going on with the lack of reaction?
Is it stuck? Has a bug appeared?
"Xiaoli!"
As soon as the reporters left, Zheng Nanfeng strode over.
"Let's go! Let's go for dinner?"
He was happier about Ji Xiaoli winning 60 million than if he had won it himself. Although 60 million wasn't really a big deal for the Zheng and Ji families.
"Hey, rich lady. Shouldn't you treat us to dinner after winning the lottery? Let's have dinner together. What do you want to eat?..."
Listening to Zheng Nanfeng chattering in her ear, Ji Xiaoli even had the urge to eat him.
She glared at him angrily. "Eat what? Is there anything else you know besides eating?"
Zheng Nanfeng was stunned by her shout.
What's wrong...
Why is she angry again for no reason?
Zheng Nanfeng scratched his nose and took a step back. "Then don't eat? I'll take you home?"
"NO! THANKS!"
Her top priority now was to figure out what was wrong with this lousy system!
Pushing aside Zheng Nanfeng who was standing in front of her, Ji Xiaoli stormed off.
The system still ignored her.
The good - luck value remained rock - steady.
Ji Xiaoli was getting more and more anxious. Just then, Song Yuan called her on voice call.
Huh? Is he looking for her?
Ji Xiaoli took a deep breath, forced a smile and answered the call. "Hello, editor Song."
"Xiaoli," Song Yuan's voice was steady and gentle, with a reassuring warmth. "Are you busy?"
For some reason, Ji Xiaoli felt her ears heat up and her heart start to race when she heard his voice.
Editor Song Yuan's voice... sounds so nice!
"It's like this. Your book My Life Is on a Roll has received a good response since it was launched on our platform. A reporter from Huayin Voice came to our company today. I'd like to arrange an interview for you by the way. Do you have time to come?"
Huayin Voice...
Is it the legendary Huayin Voice?
Ji Xiaoli suddenly felt short of breath and stood there petrified.
After waiting for a while without getting a response, Song Yuan said, "Well, of course, if you're not available today, it's okay..."
"I'm available! I'm available! I'm available!"
Ji Xiaoli said in a hurry. No kidding. This was a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity. How could she miss it!
Song Yuan: "Okay, then come as soon as possible. The editor from Huayin Voice may leave before 6 p.m. It's already..."
Ji Xiaoli quickly checked the time.
- It was 4:30 p.m.!
"You have an hour and a half left."
Ji Xiaoli gasped. It might take...
She unconsciously tightened her hand. Looking back suddenly, she saw Zheng Nanfeng still standing there dejectedly.
It seemed that he... came by car?
And it was a... sports car!
Five minutes later, Ji Xiaoli got into his flashy and showy sports car with Zheng Nanfeng.
After Ji Xiaoli told him the company's address, the sports car sped off towards the company.
On the way, Zheng Nanfeng casually asked, "You've won 60 million. Why are you still going to the company?"
"You don't understand!" Ji Xiaoli said seriously. "60 million is just a fixed amount. Going to the company for an interview to build up my reputation can achieve sustainable development."
Sustainable development?
Zheng Nanfeng was amused by her. He turned the steering wheel with one hand and nodded in praise. "Well! Xiaoli, you're so cute."
Then he asked again, "By the way, why did you think of buying lottery tickets?"
Although 60 million was not a small amount, it wasn't really necessary for the Ji family.
Ji Xiaoli's voice suddenly turned a bit cold. "I just wanted to buy. Why do you ask so many questions?"
Actually, on the one hand, she had the support of the good - luck system and wanted to try her luck with lottery tickets. On the other hand, the nature of this 60 million was obviously different from the money Wei Yanlan transferred to her card.
"Okay, okay." Zheng Nanfeng replied with a smile. "Do whatever you want. But is this your first time buying lottery tickets? You're really lucky..."
"Zheng Nanfeng."
Ji Xiaoli suddenly interrupted him. "I'm taking your car because I really need to go to the company urgently. If..."
Ji Xiaoli was sitting in the back row. Her hand on her lap tightened slightly. "If this makes you misunderstand, you can let me out of the car."
The air in the car suddenly froze.
Zheng Nanfeng held the steering wheel with one hand, his black eyes fixed on the road ahead, his expression unreadable.
After a while, he pursed his lips and said faintly, "After all, you still don't admit this marriage."
"Why should I admit it?"
Ji Xiaoli felt strangely amused. "Just because of my suddenly - appeared mother? A childhood betrothal that I have no memory of?"
"You..." Zheng Nanfeng felt a pang in his heart. "You have no memory at all? Then, do you remember how you got lost?"
How she got lost...
Ji Xiaoli shook her head and sneered.
She had forgotten a lot of things from her childhood, but she remembered this clearly.
"Of course I remember. My mother said she would take me to the park. It was an afternoon. There were a lot of people in the park. There were lovers hugging each other and old people doing tai chi. Mom took me to the fountain in the park and said to me, 'Xiaoli, watch the fountain here and wait for mom. Mom will go and buy you a bottle of water and come back soon.'"
"Then I waited and waited. I waited from afternoon to dusk, from sunset to evening, but she never came back. Later, an old man came and asked me, 'Little girl, where's your mother?' I said, 'Mom doesn't want me anymore.'"
With a screech, the sports car made a turn and stopped steadily in front of the Mingri Xingguang Building.
Zheng Nanfeng looked solemn and shocked.
Ji Xiaoli was calm but exhausted. "Open the door."
