Chapter 536: Chapter 536: The Nervous Father

"No delays, that’s good."

Qin Guodong chuckled and said, "Two thousand yuan is still too much. How about I return it to you and get my phone?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Guodong said.

Qin Yun laughed, his father was indeed such a person, unwilling to take advantage of anyone.

"Brother, once it’s bought, it’s bought. Let’s not talk about returning it." Qin Yun said.

Seeing Qin Yun say this, Qin Guodong had no choice but to stop insisting.

After chatting for a while, Qin Yun suddenly looked at a nearby shop and exclaimed, "Oh, there’s a lottery store here."

He smiled at Qin Guodong and said, "Brother, are you interested in buying a ticket?"

"No."

Qin Guodong glanced at the lottery store and shook his head, thinking buying lottery tickets is just giving away money.

Qin Yun was not surprised and walked into the lottery store.

Previously, he had won five thousand yuan, spent some of it, and bought Qin Guodong a phone for two thousand, leaving him with a little over two thousand now.

So Qin Yun directly bought a 10+4 complex ticket, totaling 840 bets, which cost a total of 1,680 yuan.

Qin Guodong watched Qin Yun buy the lottery, feeling amazed that over a thousand yuan was directly spent on lottery tickets. Qin Yun must be some wealthy heir, really rich.

If he were to spend so much on lottery tickets, he definitely wouldn’t be willing.

After buying, Qin Yun suddenly seemed to remember something, looking at Qin Guodong, "By the way, I’m leaving Wan Province these days, going elsewhere. Brother, could you hold onto this lottery ticket for me? If it doesn’t win, forget it, but if it does, help me claim it."

After speaking, he stuffed the lottery ticket into Qin Guodong’s hand.

Seeing this, Qin Guodong quickly said, "Isn’t this inappropriate?"

After all, Qin Yun spent over a thousand on it.

"It’s fine." Qin Yun said with a smile, "I’m just buying this ticket for fun. It’s not that easy to win, right? Besides, if I take the ticket with me out of town and it wins, I won’t make it back in time, and it’ll expire so I can’t claim it."

Qin Yun was fooling his own father.

"Alright, then. Brother, I have things to do, so I’ll leave first." Without waiting for Qin Guodong to say anything, Qin Yun called a car and swiftly departed.

"Ah, little brother." Qin Guodong wanted to stop Qin Yun but it was too late.

Holding the complex lottery ticket in his hand, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

This was bought with over sixteen hundred yuan. If he lost it, that would be terrible.

So, Qin Guodong solemnly placed it into his own wallet.

After pondering, Qin Guodong went to that lottery store to ask, "Boss, when does the next lottery draw take place?"

After receiving an answer, Qin Guodong finally returned home with the lottery ticket.

For the rest of the day, Qin Guodong felt somewhat distracted. Zhao Mei asked him about it, and he mentioned the lottery ticket.

"Oh dear, Old Qin, you really are carefree. What if this expensive lottery ticket gets lost?"

Zhao Mei said anxiously. This was a lottery ticket bought for over a thousand yuan. If it doesn’t win, fine. But if it wins and they lose the ticket, they wouldn’t be able to afford it.

For Zhao Mei, this was a very troublesome matter.

Just this issue alone was enough to keep her up at night.

Qin Guodong said helplessly, "There’s nothing I can do. That little brother handed me the ticket and hurried off, saying he had pressing matters and would even leave the province."

Lottery tickets have very low odds of winning, and in his opinion, Qin Yun wasn’t counting on winning either, so he left the ticket with him and went on with his matters.

Looking at the worried Zhao Mei, he said, "No use worrying now, it’ll be drawn after nine tonight. Just check if we win at that time, right?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Actually, Qin Guodong also felt uneasy, waiting all along.

Finally, it was past nine in the evening.

Qin Guodong sat on the chair, glancing at his phone occasionally.

When the time came, he opened his phone to check the winning numbers of this draw.

"01, 04, 09, 13, 19, 21, 07." Upon seeing the numbers, Qin Guodong suddenly froze.

Qin Yun had bought this complex lottery ticket; he had looked at the numbers many times and memorized them. Now the numbers were exactly the same as the first-prize numbers!

"This is... won the first prize?" Qin Guodong showed a hint of shock on his face.

He had seen on TV people winning the first prize, but he never believed he would have such luck. But now it had actually happened.

In his hand, he held a ticket that could be directly exchanged for a five million yuan prize, yet Qin Guodong didn’t show much joy, only tension.

Because this ticket wasn’t his, but Qin Yun’s.

Now the ticket was in his hand. If he lost it, what should he do?

Qin Guodong was just this kind of person; guarding his heart against such an enormous amount was difficult. He was tempted, but he knew it wasn’t his and he absolutely couldn’t keep it.

Actually, anyone could help Qin Yun claim the prize, but human nature is unpredictable; no one knows what’s on the other person’s mind.

If he found someone to claim it for him, that person might take the money and run, leaving Qin Yun without recourse.

But Qin Yun knew his father completely, hence directly went back to Qingwu County Qin Family Village, met up with Qin Guodong coincidentally, then coincidentally bought a lottery ticket, and finally let Qin Guodong help claim it.

This was Qin Yun’s plan.

"Old Qin, what’s happening with that lottery ticket? Whether it won or not, you should tell Mr. Qin." Zhao Mei asked.

Qin Guodong didn’t speak. After several seconds, he replied, "The lottery ticket won."

"Won?" Zhao Mei was shocked upon hearing.

Actually, she thought the chances of not winning were high.

"How much was won?" Zhao Mei asked.

Qin Guodong replied honestly, "Won the first prize, the prize is over five million yuan."

"First prize? Over five million?"

Zhao Mei was completely stunned, seemingly unable to believe what she heard.

She never believed in lottery winnings. She never got involved in these, but now the ticket in her hand was a first prize, redeemable for over five million!

In addition to the shock, Zhao Mei didn’t feel joy; she felt panic.

"Old Qin, quickly call Mr. Qin and let him take this lottery ticket away." Zhao Mei said anxiously.

For the two of them, this lottery ticket had become a hot potato.

Qin Guodong nodded, realizing and started dialing Qin Yun’s phone number, which was previously his own phone number.

"Hello." The call was answered in less than three seconds.

At that moment, Qin Yun was also waiting, having already seen the winning lottery numbers.

As expected, he had won the first prize directly.

(Thanks to Bansheng Liangliangliang Dao Shang for the 1500 reward, thank you.)
