CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: BRIDESMAID

The hall was instantly crowded with people, Zhou Qin was forced to stand up and step outside.

She didn’t like crowded places.

Lin Xiaoyan also didn’t like being jostled around, especially being watched by others like this.

She quietly walked to the side and stepped outside the door.

"Phew~"

Finally squeezing through, Lin Xiaoyan let out a relaxed sigh.

There was another girl who was just like her.

The two exchanged a glance, inadvertently breaking into a smile.

"Hello." Zhou Qin greeted proactively.

Lin Xiaoyan also smiled in return, "Hello."

"Are you here to have fun?"

"Yes, and you?"

"My friend is getting married tomorrow, and I’m a bridesmaid for her."

"Oh, that’s nice."

By now, everyone had finished their check-out procedures and was coming out one by one.

Gongben and several others came out first, their expressions were grim, someone cursed the onlookers using dog language.

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t understand, but from their tone and expressions, she could guess that these people had definitely said something unpleasant.

"Yanyan, let’s go."

Xuan Shiwu approached, looking at Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Okay."

She turned to Zhou Qin, "Goodbye."

Zhou Qin smiled, "Goodbye."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, ruffling Zhou Qin’s hair, as she fixed it, the sunglasses on her head fell off.

Lin Xiaoyan saw this, quickly walked over, picked them up, and handed them to Zhou Qin.

Zhou Qin saw the sunglasses in Lin Xiaoyan’s hand and thanked her gratefully.

"You’re welcome."

Zhou Qin reached out to take the sunglasses, and when her fingertips touched Lin Xiaoyan’s fingers, Lin Xiaoyan’s body stiffened.

"Yanyan?"

Xuan Shiwu noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s strangeness and immediately walked over.

Her gaze turned towards Zhou Qin, who was putting the sunglasses back on her head, and when she saw Zhou Qin’s face, she frowned.

This person...

"Oh, miss, your forehead is darkened, you’re going to face misfortune soon!"

Xuan Shiyi walked over and saw Zhou Qin standing opposite Lin Xiaoyan.

He spoke dramatically upon seeing Zhou Qin’s face.

Xuan Shiyi’s words immediately caught everyone’s attention.

Gongben and others looked over too, and when they saw Zhou Qin, they all realized that Zhou Qin was about to encounter something unfortunate.

However, they didn’t pay much attention, as they had seen too many people like this.

Zhou Qin looked at the way these people were looking at her, a shudder in her heart, what did it mean?

Xuan Wu walked over, "Miss, my talisman can help you get through this difficulty, for only 1,888 yuan per piece."

Xuan Wu took out the talisman paper, looking at Zhou Qin.

Zhou Qin looked at the yellow paper in the man’s hand, feeling like it was casually folded, and hearing it cost nearly two thousand, her intuition told her this was a scam!

The bride’s family heard the commotion here and immediately came over.

"Oh my, are you trying to eat people? Two thousand for just a piece of paper, fooling ghosts!"

"Exactly, where did this scammer come from, trying to deceive people here? This kind of trickery doesn’t fool us anymore in this day and age!"

"You better leave quickly, or we’ll call the police!"

...

Xuan Wu ignored the others; he looked closely at Zhou Qin and found that she seemed not to believe him either. Well, it was none of his business!

"Since the miss doesn’t believe, let’s forget about it. Everyone has their own fate, and we cannot control it..."

Xuan Wu swiftly put the talisman paper away.

Lin Xiaoyan regained her senses and, looking at Zhou Qin, her eyes showed reluctance.

"I think it would be better if you bought one," she softly said to Zhou Qin.

At this moment, the bride finished her call and walked over, frowning at seeing Zhou Qin in the crowd.

"Qin Qin, what happened?"

Zhou Qin looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s expression, uncertain whether to believe it, but seeing these people’s eyes full of pity and sympathy made her heart panic.

"Okay, I’ll buy one!"

Just to buy myself some peace of mind!

The surrounding people heard Zhou Qin foolishly wanting to buy the scam talisman paper and gathered around to persuade her against it.

The bride also scolded Zhou Qin for not being able to identify scammers even after all these years of education...

The crowd’s noise left Zhou Qin bewildered once again.

At this point, Xuan Wu also lost patience, snorted coldly, and left.

Others also gradually left, Lin Xiaoyan watching the bride’s family surrounding Zhou Qin, sighed in her heart.

Lin Xiaoyan turned to Xuan Shiwu, "Could you wait for a bit, please?"

Xuan Shiwu nodded.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly entered the inn, found the owner, and inquired where the bride was going for the wedding tomorrow...

On the way up the mountain, Xuan Shiwu walked alongside Lin Xiaoyan, highly curious about the situation of the girl earlier.

"Yanyan, what will happen to that girl? I only saw that she’s about to face calamity, a potential death crisis, but I don’t know what exactly will happen."

Thinking of the "scene" she saw earlier, Lin Xiaoyan felt a heavy heart, a feeling of suffocation.

"The girl from earlier, she’s the bride’s bridesmaid..."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan talk about that girl, the others slowed down, moving closer, listening to her.

"...After the wedding ceremony, the groom’s side caused trouble with the bridesmaid, some people among them."

Scenes of those vile faces flashed through Lin Xiaoyan’s mind, "They took advantage of this opportunity to molest that girl.

The girl called for help from everyone present, but no one came to her aid, not even that bride!"

"Sigh!"

Lin Xiaoyan let out a heavy breath, "After the incident, the girl reported it to the police, but when they arrived, everyone denied it, claiming they were just having fun.

Including the bride, who instead blamed the girl for ruining her wedding, accused her of stealing the gift money."

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyan didn’t look at the others; she directly called He Qi’an.

"Hello?" He Qi’an was surprised seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s call, wasn’t she supposed to be in a competition?

Lin Xiaoyan solemnly told He Qi’an about the girl from earlier.

He Qi’an frowned after hearing this, "You focus on your competition, I’ll arrange for someone to handle the girl’s matter."

Hearing He Qi’an’s words, Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit relieved, she recalled the groom’s family details she learned from the owner and told He Qi’an.

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Lin Xiaoyan finally felt somewhat eased.

"Tsk, now I understand why you have so much Merit!"

Xuan Shiyi looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s face, noticing her Merit seemed to have increased again, feeling a jealous twinge.

Others, hearing about Lin Xiaoyan’s Merit, looked at her with envious eyes.

Lin Xiaoyan paused, looking at them.

"Didn’t you all also see what that girl was going to face earlier? Why didn’t you help her?"

She voiced her confusion.

Xuan Wu walked over, looking at Lin Xiaoyan, "Sigh, do you think we don’t want Merit?" After speaking, he shook his head and walked away.

Xuan Shisan snorted coldly, "In our line of work, the biggest fear is getting entangled with karma!"
