The lights of the lottery shop were exceptionally bright, like daylight.
Even though Yu Wen had taken a fall, her face was still flushed with excitent: "Qiqi, let borrow your bag!"
Lu Qiqi had a complex expression and felt a mix of emotions; her close friend’s sudden fortune was really depressing her.
She forced a smile: "Be careful, it’s an LV bag."
Usually, even a touch would make Yu Wen panic in case she damaged it.
But now, with 300,000 in scratch tickets in her purse, money gives a woman courage!
Yu Wen carelessly said, "If it breaks, I’ll buy you a new one!"
Lu Qiqi’s heart twinged with pain again; it was too much.
Yu Wen’s neurotic behavior attracted the attention of the store’s custors, and her earlier shout of ’winning’ made people frequently glance her way.
Now Yu Wen saw everyone as a thief, she guarded her scratch tickets and placed them into her bag.
Scratch tickets were unregistered, literal cash, anyone could claim them, so she had to be cautious.
A man in his early thirties wearing a down jacket suddenly laughed, "Be careful, I’ve been playing scratch tickets for years. Once soone confused an 8 with a 6, only to get excited for nothing."
Yu Wen replied, "I’ve checked it several tis, I definitely didn’t make a mistake."
The man in the down jacket said, "Did you scratch them all? I’m not sure you did!"
Yu Wen was so excited earlier, she forgot if she scratched them all. His reminder made her heart itch like a cat’s scratch, suspicion written all over her face.
"I suggest you let the owner check first," the man in the down jacket said, "Oh, did you pay for them?"
Many people scratch first, then pay.
Jiang Yanan chid in, "She paid, paid from the start."
Still uneasy, Yu Wen rembered the banner outside the lottery shop, ntioning soone having won a 6 million prize here, and since the shop was pretty big, having two facades, she finally felt at ease.
She took her bag and moved to the counter for the boss lady to check the tickets.
As she did, the man in the down jacket also approached.
He craned his neck, took a glance, and shouted, "You’ve got it wrong, your numbers don’t match, girl, you ssed it up!"
"Hey, your card is useless!" the man in the down jacket exclaid regretfully.
As his words spread, Yu Wen’s expression changed drastically.
Beside her, Lu Qiqi changed her expression, suppressing a laugh, relieved after a false alarm: ’Gave a scare, luckily it wasn’t 300,000!’
’I’m really happy for her!’ Lu Qiqi kept taking deep breaths.
Yu Wen raised her neck to ask, "Where’s the mistake? The numbers clearly match!"
The man in the down jacket gradually moved closer, firmly doubting, "Where’s the win? It’s not there!"
"Your card’s useless!" the man in the down jacket shook his head, his hand moving quickly towards the card.
Yu Wen’s senses were alert, she swiftly pulled back the card: "What are you trying to do? I’m telling you, this store has HD surveillance caras!"
She glared fiercely at the man in the black down jacket.
Huang Zhongfei, knowing well that human nature can’t withstand tests, stood beside Yu Wen to back her up.
The man in the black down jacket glanced at the group, reluctantly withdrawing his hand and showing discontent: "I said you didn’t win, so you didn’t!"
He waved his hand and left the shop.
"Nutcase!" Yu Wen cursed, showing the scratch tickets to the boss lady.
The boss lady carefully examined the scratch tickets, as she ran a business and wouldn’t deceive anyone.
She smiled and handed the tickets back: "Congratulations! Go to the city lottery center tomorrow to claim your prize."
With those words, Lu Qiqi felt her mind spinning: ’Damn, she really won? 300,000!’
...
The frenzied Yu Wen, flanked by the calm Huang Zhongfei, the excited Jiang Yanan, and the envious Lu Qiqi, left the lottery shop.
Xue Yuantong’s eyes widened, staring at their backs, cheerfully saying, "She really won!"
Jiang Ning calmly said, "Well, it happens, it’s luck."
Xue Chuchu added, "Yeah, so people win hundreds, even thousands of millions."
But there was one thing she didn’t voice: ’Can ordinary people really hold onto such imnse wealth?’
Xue Yuantong felt envious, but not overly so, as she showed off her own scratch ticket: "Wait till I win 300,000 too!"
After scratching the card, she didn’t win 300,000, but she did win 300 yuan, covering today’s als.
Jiang Ning clicked his tongue in admiration, even though he hadn’t used his Divine Sense, Tongtong’s strategy in choosing cards was quite effective.
The small prize was claid directly in the shop, netting 240 yuan after the cost of the scratch tickets.
As the three of them walked out of the lottery shop, a cold wind and snowflakes hit their faces, and Xue Yuantong naturally helped Jiang Ning adjust his scarf.
Xue Chuchu silently adjusted herself, thinking how Tongtong used to think of her first.
But now, friendship was gradually being surpassed.
"The e-scooter is parked across the street, let’s head over directly."
Xue Yuantong looked from afar at the bus stop, seeing Yu Wen and the others still there, puzzled: "Why aren’t they leaving yet after hitting the jackpot?"
Jiang Ning said, "Maybe they’re waiting for a taxi, it’s snowing and not easy to catch one."
Xue Yuantong: "Wow, you even know this?"
Not used to taking taxis, she had overlooked this basic fact of life.
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything, just ruffled her hair and led her across the crosswalk.
anwhile, at the bus stop, Jiang Yanan asked, "Wenwen, what plans do you have? Giving the money to your parents?"
Yu Wen made an absurd face: "As if!"
"If I give it to my mom, she’d just say she’d save it for . I want to spend it myself, buy whatever I want in the future!"
"After cashing it in tomorrow, I want to et four people." Yu Wen’s expression was incredibly serious.
Jiang Yanan was curious: "Who?"
Yu Wen earnestly recounted: "My great-grandfather, my dear grandmother, the once-poor version of myself, and... the most handso and gentle him."
