This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Liu Jianjun thought for a moment and said to the others.

Hearing this, they all nodded.

Just then, a middle-aged woman came rushing into the hospital.

When she saw Liu Jianjun and his group, her face went pale as she ran over.

"Mr. Liu, I’m so sorry. I failed to take proper care of the old lady..."

She was the full-time nanny Liu Jianjun had hired to look after the old lady’s daily life and needs.

She would accompany her on outings to prevent her from getting lost or having an accident.

Today, she had taken the old lady out for a walk, but she got distracted by some commotion. When she turned back, the old lady was gone.

She searched for a long time without success and only found out the old lady was at the hospital after receiving a call from Liu Jianjun.

Knowing something bad had happened, she rushed to the hospital immediately.

"Here’s your salary for this month. You don’t need to come back."

Liu Jianjun was not nearly as patient with her, firing her on the spot.

They were lucky to have run into Chen Mo this time; otherwise, it could have been a much bigger problem.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Liu..."

Her eyes filled with regret, but the damage was already done.

Liu Jianjun and his group ignored her and walked straight toward the inpatient ward.

...

Chen Mo drove away from the hospital and headed straight home.

He carried the armfuls of shopping bags upstairs, cut the tags off the new clothes, and hung them in the closet one by one.

He placed the new handbags on the table.

He lay down on the sofa to rest for a bit, scrolling through the news on his phone.

Then, he came across an interesting news story.

"Only Supercar Owners Dare to Help a Fallen Old Lady."

It was a trending topic in the city. He clicked on it and realized it was about the very incident he had just been a part of.

Someone had filmed a video and posted it online.

The footage showed an old lady who had fallen to the ground, with no one daring to help her up.

It captured the entire process, from the moment Chen Mo appeared in his supercar to him proactively approaching to check on the old lady and calling an ambulance.

Many people were discussing it in the comments section below.

"Honestly, if that were me, I’m not sure I would’ve dared to get involved."

"What normal person would dare get involved in something like that?"

"I guess only a Brother Fu in a supercar wouldn’t be scared. He’s got the money and time to deal with the fallout."

"The rich and powerful aren’t afraid, but it’s rare to find one who is also this kindhearted."

"I just love a man with a big heart. If that handsome driver is single, he can hit me up~"

"Do you really love a man with a big heart? I can hear your abacus clicking all the way from Jingcheng. I won’t even bother calling you out."

"Holy shit, it’s Lord Jing!"

"Who wouldn’t love a guy who’s both kindhearted and drives a supercar?"

"I wonder if he likes men?"

"I want to know what happened next. Don’t tell me the Brother Fu in the 911 got scammed too?"

"..."

Chen Mo scrolled through the comment section and couldn’t help but laugh at some of the replies.

’They love a man with a big heart?’

’I bet in their eyes, that ’big heart’ is shaped like a shield, isn’t it?’

’And someone was even asking if he likes men?’

’When the hell did this kind of thing become so common in Modu?’

"Driving a supercar doesn’t save you from getting scammed. Someone photographed his car at the hospital."

"Lol, so even a Brother Fu couldn’t escape it?"

"Is it possible our Brother Fu is going to be riding a shared bike from now on?"

"It’s not that bad, it’s not that bad. A Mazda at worst."

"I think I know something you guys don’t. I was delivering food to the ER just now and heard the family talking about thanking him. Something about a 3 million reward?"

"Buddy, you can try to fool us, but don’t fool yourself."

"Is this guy just trolling?"

"It’s true! The old lady’s family—looked like three sons and two daughters—I heard them say they’d give that Brother Fu a 3 million reward in total. I heard it with my own ears, I’m absolutely sure."

"If I’m lying, I hope I get bad reviews and late penalties on every single one of my deliveries."

Chen Mo scrolled for a bit longer and discovered there was a follow-up to the story.

Someone had seen his car at the hospital and taken a photo.

Everyone was saying he’d probably go straight from a 911 to a shared bike after this.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile.

’Not only did I not downgrade to a shared bike, I made more than enough to buy another 911.’

He was surprised to see that a delivery driver had actually overheard Liu Jianjun offering him the reward.

It was just that when he posted about it, nobody believed him.

It forced the guy to make a dire oath to prove he wasn’t lying.

"Damn, that’s a truly dire oath."

A flash of surprise crossed Chen Mo’s face.

He had actually worked as a delivery driver before, so he knew that for someone in that line of work, that oath was the ultimate curse.

"That dude is hardcore."

"Could it be true? Holy shit, 3 million!"

"What the hell? A 3 million reward for real???"

"Damn it! I was right there! If I’d helped her up, that 3 million would be mine!"

"What a massive loss. I watched 3 million just fly out of my hands."

"No wonder they say the rich get richer. It really is true."

"It’s just a one-off case. I’m not salty at all!"

"This whole thing is like a gamble. It’s great if you win, but you can’t afford to lose."

"..."

Just like Chen Mo, everyone else started to believe the delivery driver’s words after he made such a dire oath.

But what he said was simply too shocking.

Not only did he not get scammed for helping the old lady, but he actually received a 3 million reward from her family!

So not only would Brother Fu not be downgrading from a 911 to a shared bike...

...he might even upgrade his 911 to a Cullinan. Who could have predicted that?

This was especially true for those who had been at the scene; they were all beating their chests in regret.

If only they had done what Chen Mo did—go up, show some concern, and call an ambulance.

Wouldn’t that 3 million have been theirs?

That was 3 million!

On a salary of 100,000 a year, you’d have to work for 30 years without spending a single cent to save that much.

And now, someone had earned it just by making a phone call for an ambulance.

And it was an opportunity that had been right there for the taking...

However, some people remained level-headed, not letting the 3 million go to their heads.

’Chen Mo was able to get that 3 million because he was lucky.’

’Do I have that kind of luck?’

’Chen Mo drives a supercar, so he can afford the risk even if it goes wrong.’

’Can I?’

Seeing everyone’s comments, Chen Mo just smiled without saying a word.

’They can regret it all they want now,’ he thought, ’but if they were given another chance, they’d make the exact same choice.’

’Ordinary people who can’t afford the risk shouldn’t take the gamble.’

After reading the comments for a while, Chen Mo closed Weibo.

"Come to my place after work tonight. I have a bag for you."

He opened WeChat and sent a message to Xia Shiqing.

"Okay, I’ll head over right after work."

Xia Shiqing replied instantly.

Next, he tapped on Pan Kejia’s profile picture.

"Xihe underground parking lot tomorrow morning. I’ll give you the bags then."

"I’ve replaced those two old bags of yours with two new ones."

Chen Mo sent her the message.

’Tomorrow morning, when I drive Xia Shiqing to work, I can give the bags to Pan Kejia in the Xihe underground garage at the same time.’

’Plus, it would add a different kind of spice to the encounter.’

"Thanks, mwah mwah~"

Pan Kejia sent back a couple of kissing emojis.

She knew exactly why Chen Mo was coming to the Xihe parking lot tomorrow morning.

’He’s definitely taking Xia Shiqing to work.’

’And why would he be taking Xia Shiqing to work?’

She didn’t even have to think about it to know what that meant.

’But a new bag cures all ills, so she could happily ignore that little detail.’

Chen Mo tidied up his apartment and then carried Pan Kejia’s three bags downstairs, placing them in the frunk of his car.

「Evening soon arrived.」

"DING-DONG~"

"Door unlocked."

As the main door swung open, Chen Mo saw Xia Shiqing walk in, dressed in a sharp business suit.

Even though he’d seen it many times, he was always captivated by her long, fair, beautiful legs.

The kind of legs you could play with for a year.

However, Chen Mo noticed that while she carried her handbag in one hand, she held a grocery bag in the other.

Through the transparent plastic, he could see it was full of groceries.

"You bought groceries?"

Chen Mo shot her a surprised look.

"Mhm. I asked you what dishes you liked last time, so I went and learned how to make them from some videos."

"I wanted to cook for you tonight."

Xia Shiqing placed the groceries on the table, her beautiful eyes looking straight at Chen Mo.

The last time Chen Mo had cooked for her, she’d told a friend online that she wanted to learn how to cook his favorite dishes for him.

’Whether she had feelings for Chen Mo or not, the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.’

"The cooking can wait. Let’s do some ’cooking’ of our own first."

A sly look flashed across Chen Mo’s face as he stepped forward and swept her into his arms.

He stared deeply into her bright eyes for a moment before lowering his head to kiss her tempting, ruby-red lips.
