Chapter 44: Bad Luck Can't Be Blamed on Society
Lin Feng suddenly felt an urgent need to use the restroom? That was clearly impossible; Lin Feng had rushed to that women's clothing store to prepare a surprise for Dong Jie.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded at the women's clothing store in the evening. A somewhat handsome man hurriedly entered the store, looking completely out of place in the luxurious fashion boutique. At first glance, one might think he was a clueless thief.
In this day and age, even thieves are so brazen? And this one is so good-looking? The Female Store Manager thought to herself.
Once Lin Feng stood still, the manager didn't see him pull out any weapons like a gun or shout "robbery," so she figured it would be better for her to step in and assist him. After all, she couldn't believe that such a high-end clothing store could be robbed.
If someone wanted to rob a place, wouldn't a bank be much easier to target than this small shop?
"Excuse me, sir, how can I assist you?" Although the Female Store Manager was unsure why Lin Feng was in such a hurry, she maintained her patience and asked.
"Uh... I'm here to buy a few outfits," Lin Feng replied with a smile. After saying that, his eyes began scanning the outfits Dong Jie had looked at earlier. Fortunately, they were still there and hadn't been sold. If they had been sold, Lin Feng's surprise for Dong Jie would have been ruined.
You? Buying clothes? A few outfits? The cheapest outfit in my store costs several thousand or even tens of thousands! You look like someone who could only afford street vendor clothes! The Female Store Manager felt displeased. She doubted whether someone dressed like Lin Feng could afford anything from her store and assumed he was just there to indulge himself.
This was also why she initially thought of "robbery" when she saw Lin Feng rush in; after all, he was dressed so modestly that it seemed unlikely he could afford anything from her boutique. Although Lin Feng did own some real designer clothes—Dong Jie had just bought him several outfits—he wouldn't wear them just to buy more clothes.
Lin Feng always believed that a man as dazzling as him wouldn't lose face by not wearing designer clothes. What did he possess? Charisma; that's what it was. How could someone like him, who had been reborn, lack that?
So even though the Female Store Manager looked at Lin Feng with a hint of disdain, he chose to ignore her. Normally, he would have left in a huff by now; however, in today's society, customers are kings. Since Lin Feng was there to make a purchase, he wouldn't let the manager's snobbish attitude bother him.
But this time, Lin Feng was on a mission and didn't want to stoop to her level. Compared to giving Dong Jie a surprise, no matter the attitude of the Female Store Manager or anything else, it was all irrelevant!
"This one, this one, this one, and this one... wrap them up for me quickly; don't dawdle. I've got to get home," Lin Feng said. Although he didn't plan on being rude to her, he couldn't help but throw in some sarcasm while acting like a big shot. Since customers are kings, he felt it wasn't excessive to refer to himself as such.
"Oh, Xiao Lan, Xiaohui, please wrap up all these outfits for this gentleman. Sir, will you be paying by card or cash?" Seeing Lin Feng's impatient demeanor and recognizing that she had encountered a big spender today, the Female Store Manager quickly changed her attitude by 180 degrees and began discussing prices with him.
"Cash payment, how much?" Lin Feng waved his hand and asked.
"A total of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety. I'll let you off the hook for the change, so just pay ninety-nine thousand nine hundred," the Female Store Manager replied.
Damn it, are you running a business or a promotion? Lin Feng felt like he was being treated like a fool, so he decided to stop acting like a big spender and started haggling with her.
In the end, taking advantage of his supposed eloquence—at least that's what he thought—Lin Feng managed to bring the price down to eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty.
Then, he pulled out a stack of cash totaling eighty-nine thousand, flaunting it as he handed it over. He picked up his clothes and walked out, casually saying, "No need for change!"
Lin Feng believed that his bargaining was a display of his wisdom, not a sign of stinginess. After all, could a stingy person say something as bold as "No need for change"?
Regardless of whether Lin Feng was stingy or not, he immediately placed his purchases into the magic ring after leaving the store. With his hands in his pockets, he walked towards Dong Jie’s location, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Jie Jie, I have to say, this store's restroom is pretty decent." When Lin Feng arrived, Dong Jie shot him a glance before getting into the taxi. Lin Feng followed her inside while continuing to speak.
"You little brat, why are you so nosy?" Dong Jie pointed at Lin Feng's forehead and said. Earlier, when Lin Feng had asked her to wait for him, she had no objections. However, the Driver was not pleased and had been grumbling during the wait. But Dong Jie wouldn’t share that with Lin Feng.
"What's wrong, Jie Jie?" Lin Feng sensed something unusual and asked.
"Nothing," Dong Jie shook her head and replied.
"A man who makes a woman wait isn't really a man," the Taxi Driver remarked pointedly.
At this point, Lin Feng understood; it seemed this Driver had poor service attitude.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng said nothing but instead leaned in to whisper to Dong Jie. This kind of Driver would get what was coming to him later.
Seeing that Lin Feng wasn't being impulsive made Dong Jie happy as she chatted with him. The Driver noticed that Lin Feng wasn’t saying anything and occasionally threw in some veiled comments while suggesting extra charges.
It took a full ten minutes for the ride, and the driver actually charged one hundred dollars.
Lin Feng didn't argue with him, agreeing readily, which puzzled Dong Jie. Why was Lin Feng so easygoing today?
Lin Feng said nothing and continued to chat with Dong Jie intermittently.
Finally, Lin Feng arrived at his destination and couldn't help but question his luck today. He had been overcharged for a piece of clothing and now he was getting ripped off by a taxi driver. It really felt like bad luck.
However, Lin Feng still said nothing. He and Dong Jie took out their belongings from the trunk, then he knocked on the taxi driver's roof and handed him a bill.
While knocking on the roof, Lin Feng inadvertently used some force, causing the roof to dent in. He remarked, "Why is this car so flimsy? It’s already dented!"
After saying that, before the taxi driver could say anything else, the driver felt the car shake as it sank noticeably.
"What kind of car is this? Don't they care about customer safety? The roof quality is poor enough, but even the tires are in such bad shape. All four tires are worn out. Sister Jie, luckily nothing happened; let's go," Lin Feng said as he entered the hotel with Sister Dong.
This left the driver feeling frustrated. He knew that with all four tires needing replacement and now this dented roof caused by Lin Feng's knock, he would probably lose a month's worth of earnings.
He didn’t dare blame Lin Feng. Although he suspected Lin Feng was responsible, he clearly understood the force behind that knock on the roof. He resigned himself to fate; better not let the car break down or he might end up in worse trouble.
This was a classic case of bullying the weak while fearing the strong. Just moments ago, he had been cursing loudly; now he was intimidated. Lin Feng was merely teaching him a lesson to remember not to rip people off—one should only take on what they can handle without crossing boundaries.
As the driver wallowed in regret, Lin Feng turned back and told him, "Bad luck shouldn't be blamed on society! Remember that." With a meaningful look, he walked away.
"Lin Feng, I knew you wouldn't let him off easily." Dong Jie understood Lin Feng's character well; he couldn't tolerate anyone close to him being bullied. She found his earlier calm demeanor strange and now realized that Lin Feng was brewing a real punishment for that unscrupulous taxi driver. The driver's entire month's income would likely be wiped out because of Lin Feng's actions.
"Heh... I'm doing this for his own good. He ran into me; if it were someone else tougher, it might not just be losing a month's salary. Besides, how dare he insult Sister Jie? If I don't teach him a lesson, I won't be able to sleep at night," Lin Feng said calmly, not shying away from Dong Jie's revelation but rather admitting it openly.
Seeing Lin Feng like this made Dong Jie feel both sweet and worried. She felt sweet because Lin Feng thought of her in everything he did but worried that his impulsive nature might lead him into trouble in the future.
Lin Feng considered himself an emotional person who was not lacking in rationality. As long as others did not bully him, he would not bully anyone for no reason. However, if someone did bully him, he would retaliate without hesitation.
Regarding rationality, Lin Feng had rich experience from his past life. When he became rational, it could intimidate his opponents. Therefore, generally speaking, he was not very rational. Lin Feng referred to this as playing the pig to eat the tiger.
The two entered the suite, ordered dinner, and then began to divide up the day's gains.
While Dong Jie was not paying attention, Lin Feng placed the clothes he bought for her on her bed. Then, following Dong Jie's request, he went to his room to change into the clothes they had bought that day so she could see how they looked on him.
In fact, Lin Feng had already tried on these clothes in the store, but since Dong Jie wanted him to try them again, he had no objections. This small request was something Lin Feng could easily fulfill for her.
Seeing Lin Feng enter his room, Dong Jie also went into her room to try on a dress she had bought that day.
"Ah..." When Lin Feng heard Dong Jie's exclamation, he knew she was surprised and quickly changed into his clothes and left his room.
"Lin Feng, did you buy all these clothes? How come I didn't see you carrying anything when you came out?" Dong Jie was not foolish; seeing that those clothes were all ones she had tried on before and recalling that Lin Feng had gone into the women's clothing store while he was in the restroom, she quickly figured out what he had been up to.
"Hehe... I can do magic; didn't you know?" Lin Feng thought that his surprise had been well received by Dong Jie. He shrugged and said.
"How much did you spend?" Dong Jie asked.
Lin Feng shrugged again and remained silent.
"Then I won't wear them," Dong Jie turned her face away and said.
"Over ten thousand." Lin Feng told a little lie.
"Details," Dong Jie said with a dark expression. She knew very well what Lin Feng was thinking.
"More than eighty thousand..." As Dong Jie's expression grew darker, Lin Feng couldn't hold back any longer and admitted honestly.
"You know, I understand you have some money, but you can't spend it like this. You still need to get married and have children, and you have to buy a house and a car. That all costs money, right? Plus, there are your aunt and your sister at home. Don't you want them to enjoy a good life?" Dong Jie said angrily, pointing at his head.
If someone else pointed at Lin Feng's head like that, he would immediately explode in anger. But with Dong Jie, Lin Feng knew she meant well. Looking at her expression, he felt as if he had returned to the past. Back then, when he made mistakes, Dong Jie would scold him in the same way. Unable to hold back, Lin Feng hugged the still-scolding Dong Jie tightly and lowered his head to kiss her, blocking her surprised mouth that had unconsciously opened.
After a long while, their lips parted. Lin Feng looked at Dong Jie affectionately and said, "I will make sure Mom and my sister enjoy a good life too. And I don't need to save up to buy a house, Jie Jie, trust me."
"Mm." Seeing Lin Feng's confidence and feeling a bit shy from the kiss, she could only respond vaguely.
"Hehe... Jie Jie, can I tell you a secret?" Lin Feng asked.
"Mm?" Dong Jie looked puzzled.
"Your lips are so sweet!" Lin Feng suddenly said with a mischievous smile before turning around and running away.
"Hey you bad guy! From now on, don't steal kisses from me without my permission!" The living room instantly became chaotic.
"If I ask for your permission, is it still called stealing a kiss?"
"Uh, that's true. Ugh! Anyway, you can't just kiss me randomly."
"What does 'not randomly' mean?"
"Random? You think you're funny?"
In the end, Lin Feng was tackled by Dong Jie and pinned down on the sofa, with his screams echoing through the living room.
After their playful antics, Lin Feng had dinner, took a shower, and sat with Dong Jie to watch a romantic drama. He couldn't change the channel because Dong Jie said it was a punishment for him.
Lin Feng protested loudly that he bought her clothes and didn't deserve punishment for it. As he grew increasingly frustrated with the situation, he took advantage of Dong Jie's distraction to lift her onto his lap and placed his hands on her stomach, teasingly roaming around.
"Ah..." Dong Jie was also shocked by Lin Feng Meng Lang's behavior. He tried hard to break free from Lin Feng's embrace with both hands, but Lin Feng was so easy to break free from, so he just hugged him. Tighter. "Let me go." Dong Jie still looked like a sister at this time, shouting to Lin Feng. "Don't let go." Lin Feng is like a stubborn child who just won't let go. "Don't let me get angry again." Dong Jie used what she thought was Assassin's trump card. "Then I'll hug you until you don't get angry." Lin Feng acted like a rogue and said. Dong Jie was so angry that he broke away again. However, Dong Jie's break away moved some muscles in the buttocks. As soon as the pink and tender area moved, Lin Feng suddenly felt a hot current flowing through his body, and then this hot current flowed into little Lin Feng's body. , and then... Little Lin Feng saluted. Dong Jie didn’t struggle anymore. Obviously, she also knew that little Lin Feng was saluting energetically somewhere on her head. "Boy, let me tell you good news, the Lord of the Rings can be upgraded." Just when Lin Feng was embarrassed, Tesla said in Lin Feng's mind.
