When everyone heard what Chu Xiaoling said, they all stared at her.
Zhou Qianru asked with a smile: "You won't win two hundred or five dollars, right?"
Chu Xiaoling didn't show off, and said with a guilty conscience: "It's fifty thousand...US dollars."
"fifty thousand?"
Zhou Qianru immediately went over, took the lottery ticket from her hand, and compared it with the lottery numbers just now. There were six numbers in total. The first five numbers were chosen from 1-69 in the white ball, and the last number was chosen from 1-69.
Selected from the red ball No. 26.
Among the first five white ball numbers, Chu Xiaoling got 4 correct bets, and the last red ball number was also correct.
According to the winning rules of Powerball here, the third prize is $50,000.
Zhou Qianru didn't believe it, but compared with the winning numbers she just wrote down, she found that she had indeed won.
After a while, she handed the lottery ticket back to Chu Xiaoling with a complex expression and said: "You are so lucky. How come you and Chen Feng are both so lucky?"
Miao Na on the side also looked at Chu Xiaoling with envy.
After Chu Xiaoling took the lottery ticket, she immediately stood up, walked over a few steps, handed it to Chen Feng and said, "Brother Chen, I give this lottery ticket to you. You bought it with money, so you should be the one to receive the prize."
Chen Feng looked at her with great relief. One was that she was not moved by money, and the other was that he confirmed her koi attributes. She did have some luck herself. Otherwise, this time Chen Feng would divide the lottery ticket he bought into four.
After winning the lottery, Chu Xiaoling won't be the only one who won the "big prize" in the lottery. The other three people, including himself, also won only small prizes.
It all depends on luck.
Even in this luck competition, her luck was better than Chen Feng's.
Going a little further, if Chu Xiaoling had not been lucky enough to meet Chen Feng before she became ill, she would not have been able to get help from Chen Feng.
As for the fact that she was born in poverty and lived a difficult life, it may be that her good luck has not yet arrived.
When he met Chen Feng, and after Chen Feng agreed to help her treat her illness, her good luck began.
Originally, without Chen Feng's help and rescue, there was a high probability that she would have been left to die.
It is precisely because of Chen Feng's appearance and rescue that she can continue to live for a long time.
Accordingly, Chen Feng is likely to get rewards in terms of fortune from her, which means good people are rewarded.
Of course, in fact, Chen Feng does not get this kind of reward by doing any good deeds and just saving a random person. It depends on who he saves.
For example, like Chu Xiaoling, Chen Feng felt that the rescue was not in vain.
Not to mention that he could train her to be his best confidant in the future, Chen Feng felt the need to help her just because she was likely to enhance his luck.
Now Chu Xiaoling wants to return the winning lottery ticket to him. It can be seen that it is not a show. This makes Chen Feng even more satisfied. This proves that she is not an ungrateful person, nor is she a short-sighted person who is greedy for small profits.
Chen Feng stretched out his hand to push away the hand she handed to him, and said with a serious face: "I said before, the lottery is given to you. If you really win the prize, it is your own luck. Just take it yourself.
.”
"Brother Chen, I really can't have it. You paid for this in the first place."
Chu Xiaoling was also very serious and serious, as if she was determined not to.
"You really don't want it?" Chen Feng frowned slightly and looked at her.
Chu Xiaoling shook her head firmly: "I really don't want it. It's not mine in the first place."
Zhou Qianru came over and put her arms around her shoulders, and said with a smile: "My little sister, are you stupid? This is 50,000 US dollars, more than 300,000 national currency. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Chu Xiaoling said seriously: "I really can't have it."
Seeing this, Chen Feng could only smile and shake his head and said: "Okay, just give me this lottery ticket, and I will help you claim the prize tomorrow. You have to pay 30% income tax here, and in the end you only got 35,000 US dollars. This money
Just think of me as sponsoring your studies in the future, and I will give it to you after you recover from your illness, so you can't object, right?"
"In this case, doesn't it mean giving it to me?" Chu Xiaoling asked in a daze.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "This is different. This is my financial support for you, which means you owe me. When you graduate from college in the future, you will repay me and work hard for me."
Chu Xiaoling was speechless. She wanted to decline this kindness, but she couldn't explain why.
Chen Feng probably guessed what she was thinking, so he said: "You used to live too poor and miserable. I think your leukemia is probably caused by you scrimping every day, even going hungry, and working hard to study. Otherwise,
, as young as you are, it is very difficult for you to get this disease unless it is hereditary. Therefore, after you recover from the disease, if you continue to work and study, or if you don’t eat well or sleep well every day, you will cause harm to your body.
If you fail, then wouldn’t I have spent so much money on you in vain? At that time, you can study and study with peace of mind. With the money you won today, you will be able to spend it in the next three years of college.
.”
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Chu Xiaoling actually agreed.
She had also thought about why she got this disease at such a young age. After much deliberation, she found that the reason was roughly the same as what Chen Feng just said. It was that she worked too hard during her work-study program, which destroyed her body and reduced her immunity.
The disease found her.
In this way, the gain is really not worth the loss.
Zhou Qianru also said: "Xiao Ling, what Chen Feng said is right. You got this disease at a young age because you didn't have a good diet and a good body. Besides, at your age, working to make money is secondary, the most important thing is
Study. Listen to Chen Feng, he has spent more money on your treatment, how can you still refuse this small amount of money?"
Chu Xiaoling had no choice but to say: "Okay, thank you, Brother Chen. When I get better, I will study hard and work for you all my life."
Chen Feng and Zhou Qianru couldn't help laughing when they heard Chu Xiaoling's solemn words.
After the three of them chatted for a while, it was getting late, so they went to bed separately.
Early the next morning, Chen Feng got up at almost seven o'clock and went out for a run.
As usual, he met several familiar faces who had gotten up early for morning jogging. They all greeted him politely, and Chen Feng smiled back or said "Gudmoning".
Until a tall mixed-race foreign girl, after greeting him as usual, did not separate from him as before, but ran side by side with him and introduced herself in a familiar manner: "
Hi, my name is Lucy, what do you call me?"
"Chen Feng." Chen Feng answered briefly.
This person looked at Lucy, who was in her mid-twenties, and then asked curiously: "Are you from the Han country?"
Chen Feng glanced at her and said slightly coldly: "People from the Dragon Kingdom."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I saw that you look a lot like a few of my friends from the Han country. I thought you were also from the Han country."
Chen Feng felt a little unhappy after hearing this, thinking that your mother-in-law looks like someone from the Han country.
But in fact, of course she cannot be from the Han country. This woman should be of mixed race. The most obvious one is black ancestry. In addition, she also has some Latin American and white ancestry. Her facial features are three-dimensional and her eyes are blue and black.
Yes, the appearance is pretty good.
But she is almost the same height as Chen Feng and has a strong body. At first glance, she looks like a King Kong Barbie who loves fitness and has strong arms and thighs.
This is totally not Chen Feng's cup of tea.
Therefore, Chen Feng's attitude toward her seemed relatively cold at this time.
However, this King Kong Barbie seemed to be very interested in him and said to herself: "Did you go on a business trip a few days ago? I didn't see you when I went running in the past few days, and I just met you again today.
.”
"Sorry, I don't like talking when I'm running."
After Chen Feng said this, he began to speed up slowly, trying to get rid of her, but it was obviously not easy.
The other party was a fitness expert. When Chen Feng accelerated, she also accelerated, and her breath was not disturbed at all.
"Oh, okay, then I won't talk for now. I'll talk after you finish running."
After saying this, she really stopped talking.
But she still followed Chen Feng closely and ran with him. Chen Feng tried to speed up several times to get rid of her but failed. Instead, he disrupted his running rhythm and finally made his breathing a little disordered.
On the other hand, Lucy, running down with him, still had no obvious change in her breathing and was very steady.
This made Chen Feng a little discouraged.
After finishing a lap, Chen Feng walked directly to his villa without paying attention to her.
"Hey, wait a minute. Leave me your contact information." Lucy stopped Chen Feng and asked him for his contact information directly.
It was obvious that she was indeed interested in him.
"I didn't bring my cell phone." Chen Feng said perfunctorily.
"Then give me your mobile phone number."
"I didn't remember, I mean, I came to Houston not long ago, and I just applied for a mobile phone card here."
"Oh, ok, that's okay. You can also write down my mobile phone number, and I'll give it to you. Then you can add me on WhatsApp, okay?"
Chen Feng was speechless again. Are all foreign women so proactive?
Brina and he had an adaptation and buffering period before, but this Lucy acted like she was interested in him as soon as she started.
Of course, this may be because he is overthinking it, and the other party may simply want to make friends with him.
"I don't have WhatsApp. I'm from the Dragon Kingdom, so I use prestige."
"Oh, yes, prestige, I know, I also have a prestige signal, which is a mobile phone number. You can add me."
What else could Chen Feng say.
"Please note my mobile phone number and I will give it to you."
Lucy reported her mobile phone number three times in a row, and after making sure Chen Feng remembered it, she waved goodbye to him.
Chen Feng returned to the villa, went upstairs to take a shower, and then came out of the bathroom. He picked up his phone and looked at it. There were several unread messages. After reading them, he chose Sun Xiaorui and Brina and replied with a few sentences.
Sun Xiaorui said she missed him, but Brina said it would take a few days before she could come to Houston.
Chen Feng asked Brina to come over as soon as possible, and then told Sun Xiaorui that he would go back as soon as possible.
Then he went downstairs to have breakfast.
Then, he suddenly remembered the Lucy he met the morning before. After hesitating for a while, he finally added her prestige friend using the phone number he remembered before.
The other party quickly passed his friend verification and then sent a smiley face.
[I thought you wouldn’t add me]
After Chen Feng took a look at it, he didn't reply and blocked her from his circle of friends.
He only added her out of basic courtesy. After all, we lived in the same community and could barely be considered neighbors.
And when I run every morning, I often encounter them. If I can't even add a prestige friend, I will inevitably be embarrassed next time I see them.
After seeing that Chen Feng didn't reply to her, he didn't send any more messages, so he must have known better.
After having breakfast, the four people on Chen Feng's side drove to receive the award.
Miao Na drove a very safe car and it took more than half an hour to get to the prize redemption service center. To avoid trouble, Chen Feng asked Zhou Qianru to collect the prize instead. Her name and passport number were written on the back of the lottery ticket.
After all, he had already won one million US dollars last time. How long had it been since then? If he won another 50,000 US dollars, people would inevitably be suspicious.
Chen Feng's caution is necessary. This time it is Zhou Qianru who accepts the award, so there will be no such problem.
The process of receiving the award was very smooth. After all, it was only 50,000 US dollars. After deducting tax, it was only 35,000 US dollars. It was not considered a big award.
After receiving the awards, everyone was in a good mood. Zhou Qianru suggested going to the mall to buy some nice clothes for Chu Xiaoling.
Although the clothes Chu Xiaoling wore this time were not bad, after all, Li Xiaoyu and her three roommates helped pick them out, in Zhou Qianru's eyes they were obviously not up to par, and Chu Xiaoling was considered a winner this time.
I just wanted to change her clothes.
Chen Feng had no objection, and it was useless for Chu Xiaoling to object.
So, the four of them went to a nearby shopping mall to choose clothes for Chu Xiaoling. At Chu Xiaoling's insistence, they bought two sets.
Then, they planned to drive home to eat and wait to take Chu Xiaoling to the medical center for treatment in the afternoon.
As a result, they walked to the parking lot and suddenly found that the car was missing.
After confirming again and again, the four of them were convinced that their car was parked at this location in the parking lot before, but now it was someone else's car parked in this location. They searched around the area but couldn't find the car that Chen Feng had bought before.
A BMW car.
By this time, of course everyone was convinced that their car had been stolen.
Although it was a second-hand car, Chen Feng spent $25,000 to buy it with real money. Not long after that, it was stolen.
Chen Feng immediately picked up his cell phone and called the police, saying that his car had been stolen.
About six or seven minutes later, a police car drove over and stopped in front of them.
The car door opened, and two policemen in police uniforms, one man and one woman, walked out.
The man is a black man, tall, with a bald head that makes him look oppressive. The woman is probably wearing a police uniform. She looks heroic and has a good figure. She is also someone Chen Feng just met.
"Hi, Chen, what a coincidence. Was it you who called the police?" Lucy looked at the stunned Chen Feng with surprise and a smile.
"Ah, yes, I called the police." Chen Feng came back to his senses.
Lucy didn't have any small talk with Chen Feng, and registered Chen Feng in a business-like manner.
Then, she took out her walkie-talkie and reported the stolen vehicle on the police system.
"Chen, I will help you find it as soon as possible. Wait for my news."
After finally saying this, Lucy left with her partner in a cool manner.
Chen Feng obviously couldn't be convinced by her words, so he could only lament his bad luck. It was estimated that this BMW, which had only been driven for a short time, would not be recovered.
The four of them were not in a good mood when this happened, so they walked to the side of the road and planned to call a taxi.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, no taxi passed by.
Just when he was planning to use the taxi-hailing app here and order an online taxi, someone suddenly sent him a video call invitation.
When Chen Feng saw that it was Lucy's call, he quickly connected the call.
"Hi, Chen, your car has been found. I'll drive it to you right away, okay? Are you still there at the shopping mall parking lot?"
