LADY LIN'S FIRST-EVER JOURNEY TO IMMORTALITY

16-20

Chapter 16 A Call from Hometown

Lin Luoran drives her new car nervously, and goes shopping with Baojia. Baojia condemns her old Nokia antique as worthless and her black trench coat extremely unfashionable...In a word, all stuff of Lin Luoran from head to toe can't satisfy Baojia's taste.

Lin Luoran knows the personality of Baojia. All the seeming "dislike", in fact, is another way to celebrate for her.

Baojia takes her to buy shoes and clothes. A thick winter coat, silver stilettos and black rivet boots. All these were luxuries Lin Luoran admiring through the glass of the commuter bus when she was with Li Anping and worked hard constantly for his tuition fees and living costs. Today, she goes on a shopping spree and gets satisfied.

That may seem tacky to some people, but Lin Luoran begins to understand a truth that if a woman doesn't love herself, don't expect a man to save her!

In the afternoon, Lin Luoran, worrying about the space, doesn't accept Baojia's invitation, and insists on driving back to her rented flat.

The community of Lin Luojia's rented flat belongs to the area to be demolished in R City. Those with abilities have moved away. Only some migrant labors like Lin Luoran and a small number of aborigines unable to leave are still here. Therefore, most of the cars in the community are very cheap, about one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand yuan.

When Lin Luoran drives a new BMW back to the residential district, the elder walking around are all shocked.

"Oh, isn't that the girl who lives on the third floor of Unit One? I've heard from Mr. Li that she was from a village. She had a hard time before. Why does she suddenly become beautiful and rich?" An old woman holding her granddaughter stops an old man who is also taking a walk and asks jealously.

Alas, that girl even looks less blessed than my daughter. With such a sharp chin, she doesn't deserve this happy life – the old woman thinks unhappily.

The old man rolls his eyes and covers his grandson's ears. Then he lowers his voice and says mysteriously, "Got rich overnight. Does she find a sugar daddy? Today's young people can't bear hardships at all..."

The old woman pats him, "Shut up. Don't say that in front of kids. If you mislead my Niuniu, I'll fight with you!"

When they are gossiping aside, Lin Luoran packs stuff in the trunk and hears these malicious guesses clearly—After she ate the magical fruit and sweated a lot, the change of her appearance is what visible to others and what invisible is that she can see immortal energy and even tiny legs of a ladybug on a leaf with her eyes. As for her ears, she can hear the flapping of flies' wings a few meters away if she wants.

After packing up and locking her car, Lin Luoran pretends not to hear their gossips and goes upstairs.

Unluckily, when she just walks a few steps, the girl named "Niuniu" wriggles in grandmother's arms and loudly asks, "Grandma, what does 'find a sugar daddy' mean?"

Lin Luoran turns around to see her and the little girl with round eyes still asks the old woman curiously. The woman covers the girl's mouth, looks at the old man and slips away with him together.

Lin Luoran can only laugh bitterly. She can't argue with the elder, let alone to beat the kid. The only thing she can do is to encourage herself to be generous and more generous!

She bought a car on a whim, but now it seems that it doesn't go well with the community.

It doesn't imply that Lin Luoran dislikes the place she's lived for three years. But there are not enough planned parking spots in the district. She had to take up the aisle to park her car just now. It will be a big problem in the future.
