After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.
Chapter 29: Why does having coffee feel like a trap?
The three of them sitting in the coffee shop looked very strange.
The entire café was empty except for the three of them. Two elderly men sat opposite Ling Yue, both of whom had ordered cappuccinos…
"Um, do you two not drink coffee anymore? My dad has given it up."
Grandpa Jing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Your dad's no good. I told him a long time ago that he should start exercising, and look how weak he is now!"
Haha, that's right. Ling Guofu still has such a big beer belly. Look at these two, they're slim and don't look like they have an ounce of fat.
"Grandpa Jing, Uncle Jia, is there something you need from me?"
As soon as Ling Yue finished speaking, Jia Zhengjing burst into laughter, which startled her.
"I never expected this, Jingyang Sheng, you're a generation younger than me, how interesting."
Jingyang Sheng rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to pay him any attention. He took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "This guy is having an episode. Don't bother with him. We're looking for you because your father mentioned that you plan to open a shop near Baiyun Temple."
Her dad really is a big mouth...
She doesn't remember her father having a good relationship with Grandpa Jing. What could she possibly remember? In her past life, she was a carefree, love-obsessed person, so let's not dwell on it.
How could I possibly presume to teach a fish to swim in front of such a titan of the business world?
"Hehe, the main problem is that I'm not good at studying, so I have to find a way to make a living in advance."
Jia Zhengjing, however, was full of praise: "Hey, you're so positive and motivated. These days, young people all choose to give up. My Baiyun Temple gets so many young people going there to burn incense and pray for blessings every day. It gives me a headache. And quite a few young people even come to me asking to become Taoist priests at Baiyun Temple. What's wrong with this society?"
Wait a minute, what does "his Baiyun Temple" mean? Is he the abbot of Baiyun Temple?
"Master Jia, Master Jia?"
Ling Yue could barely speak properly anymore.
"You can call me that, that's what everyone calls me. Xiao Lingzi is a young man with sound values and ambition, not bad at all. I've done a divination for you, you'll soon become very wealthy."
You're just bragging. What she needs most right now is money, and you're talking about making a fortune? She only has eighteen days to live, how come you didn't calculate that?
The little girl looked uninterested, her head down, stirring her coffee with a spoon.
Jia Zhengjing gave Jingyang Sheng a wink.
"Master Jia's divination is famously accurate. The entire commercial street near Baiyun Temple belongs to the Jing family. Grandpa, I can give you the whole street."
Ling Yue looked up at the two elderly people in front of her as if they were idiots.
Is this overwhelming wealth something she can handle?
As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Why does having coffee feel like a trap?
"Grandpa Jing, this joke is not funny at all. If there's anything you need me to do, please just say so."
"In the blink of an eye, Ling Guofu's daughter has grown up so much. Your father still hasn't told you, has he? When you were twelve, your father and I arranged a marriage between you and Jing Yucheng. The compatibility between your destinies is rare in this world. You can go back and ask your father about the specifics back then. You are 22 years old this year, and there are still two years until the agreed time. My suggestion is that you two can get engaged first and then get married in two years."
Why is this bringing up her marriage to Jing Yucheng again? This old man is talking nonsense. The two families arranged this marriage when she was twelve years old. Who are you trying to fool?
Seeing that Ling Yue had lowered her head and remained silent again, Jia Zhengjing wondered if Jing Yangsheng had been too direct.
So he pretended to cough and said, "Hey, look at me, how can Xiao Lingzi just drink coffee? Let's have some snacks. How about a tiramisu?"
If I can't even drink coffee, how can I possibly have the appetite for snacks?
"No need, no need, Uncle Jia, I'm on a diet, on a diet, haha."
"Hey, don't feel guilty. Actually, this is a good thing. It's good for both you and Xiao Jing. You'll see later."
Ling Yue felt increasingly uneasy. Could these two be acting as intermediaries, trying to persuade her? She had to make a quick getaway; this was no place to linger!
"Grandpa Jing, Uncle Jia, um, I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
As she spoke, Ling Yue got up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to make her escape.
"Hey, girl, you still haven't told me what you think? What are your thoughts on your marriage to Jing Yucheng?"
As Jingyang Sheng spoke, he stood up as well, even picking up his cane. Was he going to follow him again?
Ling Yue's head was buzzing. She scratched the back of her head and casually said, "As long as Jing Yucheng agrees, I have no objection. Please wait, please wait."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked out of the coffee shop. Seeing that the old man did not follow him out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, she had a ulterior motive. Jing Yucheng was a socially anxious person. How could he possibly agree to get engaged or married to someone he didn't know well? Even a normal person might not be able to accept it, let alone him.
Call her the master of shifting blame!
This day was truly eventful.
When I got home, I found the house completely deserted, and the living room lights weren't on. What happened?
"Dad? Ling Yi?"
Everyone responded, confirming that Lu Boqing must be in Ling Yi's room!
Rushing to Ling Yi's room and opening the door, I was astonished to find Lu Boqing and Ling Yi engrossed in studying the newly arrived Lego blueprints, not even lifting their heads once...
"Have you two gone mad with desire? Where's dinner?"
"Qingqing ordered KFC delivery for me. The Orleans chicken wings are so delicious! Sister, we still have some left for you in the fridge."
Why is Ling Yi making such a festive face while eating KFC?
"Lu Boqing, come out here for a moment."
Lu Boqing stood up reluctantly, walked to the door, and Ling Yue immediately closed the door.
She whispered, "Why can Ling Yi see you? You haven't even transformed yet. What does he know?"
"Why are you so nervous? Kids are easy to please. I told him I have superpowers and I transformed into a few different species for him. He praised me repeatedly, and we're good friends now."
Ling Yue really wanted to say that you are no more than three years old.
"My parents don't allow Ling Yi to eat junk food, yet you still order KFC delivery for him?"
"Your brother has a long lifespan, so what's wrong with eating what he likes? I really don't understand why you humans live such a tiring life, with only a few decades to live."
"Whose Book of Life and Death have you seen? Not just anyone can see that, right? Be careful, or I'll report you to the City God!"
"I've seen your whole family. Do you have any proof?"
Ling Yue was hit with a series of blows, making it impossible to have a conversation...
"I only have 17 days left to live, you know that, right? Can't you feel a little more sense of urgency, my dear partner?"
Ling Yue was still making a last-ditch effort to pull Lu Boqing back on track.
"The opportunity hasn't come yet, what's the rush? Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to find Ling Yi."
"Why haven't I seen my dad? Has he not come back yet?"
"He's going to Hangzhou on a business trip for a few days and he called home."
Ling Yue felt increasingly superfluous in the family, while Lu Boqing integrated in very quickly.
Her dad really slipped away quickly! Did he know in advance that he needed to see her and that's why he went on a business trip?
I'm so tired... Let it all end...
