Chapter 17: You Are Really Lucky

"Antique market, bought for ten thousand yuan," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Ten thousand yuan, and you made 990,000 in one flip?" Ye Taihe stared at the check in Chen Yu's hand, regretting it so much he felt like he was dying.

He was a man who prided himself on being noble, but he was definitely not someone who didn't need money; he couldn't earn this one million even if he didn't eat or drink for ten years.

"Chen Yu, I didn't expect you to have such a good eye," the muscles on Fang Chen's face twitched, and he cursed Chen Yu to death in his heart.

Today he had lost all face, while Chen Yu had stolen the entire spotlight.

"Wife, let's go," Chen Yu said, supporting Ye Xinyu as they left.

From beginning to end, Ye Xinyu never looked back once; perhaps she had become completely disappointed in her own family.

"It's just one million, what's there to be proud of?" After Chen Yu left, Fang Chen said indignantly.

"Don't worry, that bastard Chen Yu is a good-for-nothing; he'll squander this million before long."

"Right, people like him never have enough money no matter how much they get."

The members of the Ye Family cursed Chen Yu bitterly, as if Chen Yu were their greatest enemy.

"Wife, you keep this check; you won't have to work overtime so hard in the future," Chen Yu said, handing the check in his hand to Ye Xinyu.

"Am I dreaming? I have one million now?" Ye Xinyu looked at the check in her hand, unable to believe it.

"Not dreaming, this is our money," Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

"Chen Yu, how do you know Wu Lao?" Ye Xinyu asked, "Did you pick up a bargain?"

"Met him at the antique market, I suppose it counts as picking up a bargain, something I got for ten thousand," Chen Yu said with a chuckle, "This was a gift for your dad, but he didn't want it; how about we give this million to him?"

"No," Ye Xinyu quickly put the check away and sighed, "I see it clearly now, and my heart has gone cold. Let them do whatever they want from now on; as long as you treat me well, that's enough."

"Don't worry, things will be even better in the future," Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Spend the money however you want."

"You still owe someone one hundred thousand that you haven't paid back; Zou Dalong won't let it go easily. I'll pay him back later, and the rest of the money needs to be saved for a down payment on a house. We can't keep living in someone else's house..."

Ye Xinyu calculated with her fingers while looking forward to their future life, her face brimming with happiness.

"Ye Xinyu, if you don't come back to work, just wait to pack your things and leave," just then, the manager of Ye Xinyu's company called.

"I'm sorry, Manager Wang, I'll be there this afternoon," Ye Xinyu said hurriedly.

"Fine, if you don't come this afternoon, just wait to hand over your work. Don't think you're the boss just because you're pregnant; do you believe I can fire you in a minute?" The Manager Wang on the phone remained relentless.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well these past two days, but I'm fine now, I'll go to work immediately," Ye Xinyu apologized, and the other party hung up with a snap.

"Didn't you ask for leave until tomorrow?" Chen Yu frowned and said, "Resign. That manager of yours is a bastard; there's no need to look at his face there."

"With just this one million, it hasn't reached the point of resigning yet," Ye Xinyu rolled her eyes at Chen Yu and held his arm, "Husband, the days ahead are long. We have a child and need our own house. I haven't reached the point of living in luxury yet, and there will be many places to spend money in the future."

"I just don't want you to suffer any grievances," Chen Yu said with a heartache, "You don't need to worry about the future; the future will definitely be better than it is now."

"I know, as long as you work hard, our life will definitely get better and better. Alright, I'm going to work. I'll keep the money so you don't spend it recklessly, and I'll find time to pay back the money owed to Zou Dalong," Ye Xinyu kissed Chen Yu on the cheek and then left happily.

"Hey, there's no need to pay back Zou Dalong's money," Chen Yu wanted to call her back, but she had already walked far away.

Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry; right now, Zou Dalong was like a grandson in front of him, so how would he dare to bring up paying back money? But it was better to keep some things from her for now to avoid her overthinking.

"Chen Yu, where are you? My grandfather says his chest feels uncomfortable, I have to trouble you to come over," at this moment, Lin Qingyue's call came through.

"I'll be there right away," Chen Yu hung up the phone, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the hospital.

In the hospital, Lin Lao's spirits were quite good, and Lin Qingyue was accompanying him; besides them, there was a couple in their thirties.

The man was in military uniform, and the woman was delicate and pretty, possessing the demeanor of a distinguished family; the two were Lin Qingyue's youngest uncle and aunt, Lin Kaicheng and Peng Rong.

Zhou Chi happened to be visiting Lin Lao today as well. Seeing Chen Yu, he first showered him with praise, then smiled and said, "Little Chen, Xu Lao speaks of you with nothing but praise. If only our Fengling medical system had more talents like you."

"Bureau Chief Zhou is too kind. Compared to Xu Lao, my experience is still lacking," Chen Yu smiled. People like Zhou Chi were leaders who spoke nicely, but it was best to only take a third of what they said seriously. He exchanged pleasantries while taking Lin Lao's pulse.

A moment later, he smiled and said, "Lin Lao, no need to worry, it's just some Qi deficiency. Your lung cold condition is an ailment left over from decades ago. To expel the cold, it will take some effort. I will perform Acupuncture for you and adjust your medication; there won't be any major problems."

"Haha, that's good. Sorry to trouble you, Little Lin. This ailment of mine was contracted over thirty years ago while performing a mission in the snow on the Northern Border. My lungs were frostbitten, and even Xu Lao said it couldn't be cured at the root and could only be controlled with medicine. I didn't expect you to be able to cure me," Lin Lao laughed heartily.

"This young brother is truly a Divine Doctor," Lin Kaicheng said, "Hello, I am Lin Kaicheng. I entrust my father's illness to you. If there is any need in the future, my Lin Family will do everything in our power."

"You're too kind," Chen Yu smiled. Although Lin Kaicheng wasn't very old, the three stars on his shoulders represented his status. To be able to climb to this position at such a young age, his future would surely be boundless.

"Kaicheng, just take good care of Rongrong and yourself at the border; don't worry about me," Lin Lao sighed while letting Chen Yu perform Acupuncture, "It wasn't your fault that the child passed away due to an accident. Look on the bright side; you are still young, so have another child."

Peng Rong was slightly stunned. Hearing Lin Lao's words, her eyes turned red, and she turned her head away.

The two had a child the year before last, but the child passed away due to an accident. It had been so long, yet she had never walked out of the shadow of losing her child.

"Dad, I know. Rongrong hasn't been able to untie the knot in her heart for a while; I will try to persuade her more," Lin Kaicheng also looked dejected.

Chen Yu glanced at Lin Kaicheng and saw a cluster of faint black Qi between his brows. His wife, Peng Rong, was the same. He furrowed his brows slightly.

"Little Chen, do you have something you want to say?" Lin Lao was a person who had lived to become a spirit; he noticed the change in Chen Yu's expression instantly.

"I do have something to say, but I'm afraid of offending Lin Xiansheng," Chen Yu smiled.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly, it doesn't matter," Lin Lao laughed.

"Alright then," Chen Yu had finished the Acupuncture and put down the needles in his hand.

"Lin Xiansheng has a dignified Appearance, a full forehead, and ears higher than the eyebrows. This physiognomy indicates a full fortune and a smooth official career; it is the appearance of someone who will surely achieve both fame and wealth and be respected by others in their later years," Chen Yu smiled.

"Little Chen actually knows how to read physiognomy," Lin Lao smiled. In fact, he didn't believe in these things, but out of respect for Chen Yu, he didn't say it explicitly.

"Madam Lin's physiognomy shows a high nose and beautiful eyebrows, and the Life Palace is full; this is the appearance of having many children and much fortune," Chen Yu smiled.

"Enough," Peng Rong's face turned pale and she trembled slightly. She had not walked out of the pain of losing her child, so she was unwilling to listen to Chen Yu's flattery.

"Allow me to finish," Chen Yu said, "Both of you have excellent physiognomy, but unfortunately, a baleful star has descended upon your Life Palace. If I am not mistaken, you two married at twenty-five. Sister-in-law has been pregnant three times; the first two times the fetus died in the womb, and the last time was a threatened miscarriage. At thirty, you should have had a child, but it passed away due to an accident."
