Chapter 8
Everyone didn't pay attention, but Yang Qi heard it and raised his head slightly.
At this moment of taking a look, the chandelier, which was as big as a table, just fell from the top.
With a loud bang, the glass table below shattered into pieces all over the place.Moreover, the sofa on the opposite side happened to be caught by the metal of the chandelier, directly piercing a big hole.The bulbs of the chandelier were also broken, and shiny diamonds fell all over the ground.
They bought this incomparably luxurious chandelier at a huge price. At present, there is only such a chandelier in the whole world. It is a luxurious full-diamond chandelier, worth [-] million yuan.
However, at this time, the chandelier shattered to the ground, and the three hundred million yuan was just gone.
No, what Yang Qi was more concerned about was that the chandelier almost hit him just now.Looking at the metal wire so close at hand, Yang Qi stared, not daring to take a breath.
If he hadn't been leaning back just now, the chandelier would have punched a hole in his head.
At this moment, everyone was shocked and even forgot to scream.Everyone was immersed in astonishment, and they didn't come back to their senses at all.
The quality of this chandelier is obviously very good, and the roof is also fixed, and the screws have not been loosened.Before that, people were sent to check regularly, and it was confirmed that it was solid and in good condition. Why did it suddenly fall off?
"Ah—" At this time, Yang Qi's mother came back to her senses first, let out a scream, and threw herself into Yang Qi's father's arms.
Yang Qi's father was also surprised. He looked at the shattered chandelier and Yang Qi who was closest to him, and he was relieved.
Yang Qi is fine.
Someone was called to clean it, and the family changed places to sit, but they all fell silent.
Yang Qi has already fallen into a state of autism. He has long felt that today is unlucky and that everything is inappropriate. As a result, a chandelier just now almost killed him.
He was frightened, and this time, he finally began to reflect.
He thought about everything today, and found a characteristic: Whenever he said words related to "rich", he would encounter very bad things.
Just like the chandelier just now, he said "my family is so rich" in the last sentence, and then the chandelier suddenly fell down.Another example is brushing his teeth in the morning, he hummed the song "I Have Money" by MC Hotdog, and then he fell down.Also, on the walk today, he thought he was the prettiest boy on the street, and then said "It's nice to be rich", and then his pants were scratched...
Could it be that the fortune teller was telling the truth?
At this time, after experiencing many magical events, Yang Qi has begun to doubt himself a little.
He clearly knows that in this age, one should believe in science and not be superstitious, but he feels as if it is true.
This incident has not yet made him decide to pretend to be poor. What really made him change was a few things later.
One thing is that Yang Qi's mother burned the kitchen down while she was cooking dinner.
Yang Qi's mother has two hobbies in her life, going out to play cards with friends, and another thing is that she likes to cook at home.In order to celebrate her return to China today, she decided to cook a meal by herself.
It stands to reason that she is an expert in the kitchen, and she is naturally extremely proficient in the use of household appliances. It should be impossible for her to do something stupid like burning the kitchen down.
But then Yang Qi learned that when Yang Qi's mother was cooking, the gas stove in the kitchen suddenly broke down, and the high temperature directly burned a hole in the pot.Coincidentally, another roll of kitchen toilet paper was placed next to it, and when a spark ignited, the fire spread.
When the servants put out the fire, they found that many kitchen utensils had been burnt out and had to be replaced with new ones.
When Yang Qi's mother put out the fire, she burned her eyebrows off, and she is still sad in the room.
Yang Qi thought for a while, he was calling Guo Jun at that time.
When talking between boys, sometimes it is easy to brag because of vanity.Then Yang Qi blew a few words, saying that he had a very good life recently, he just spent 200 million to buy a new car.
As a result, misfortune came out of his mouth. Yang Qi was not affected this time, but his family members suffered.
Sure enough, as long as Yang Qi has the idea of wanting to show off his wealth, bad things will happen.And if so many things broke today, it should be regarded as a loss of money in another sense, which is very consistent with what the fortune teller said.
When Yang Qi was hesitant, not long after, when Yang Qi's father was walking the dog in the yard, he stepped on a banana peel and fell, directly spraining his ankle, and now he is lying on the bed and cannot get out.
Yang Qi felt very strange, he didn't say anything, why did something happen again?
Is it a coincidence?
No!Yang Qi realized that it was not a coincidence, it was true.
Because during that time he swiped Weibo with his mobile phone and forwarded a friend's Weibo.
My friend’s Weibo was very simple, it was a selfie with his girlfriend standing in front of a luxury car, and then Yang Qi liked it and commented: “Little boy, come to my place next time, I will take you to the Rose Empire Bundi, my brother treats you."
We all know that the friendship on Weibo is very illusory, and sometimes what is said is polite, not necessarily serious.What's more, this Weibo was posted by Yang Qi's friend who had been away from him for several jet lags. Yang Qi knew that he would not be back for a while, so he said so.
But no matter what, it was related to "being rich", so Yang Qi still brought disaster.
After deep reflection, Yang Qi decided that for his own sake, he would rather believe what he has or not, and obediently pretend to be poor.
Before the plot in the book killed him, he didn't want to die because of showing off his wealth.
Yang Qi decided to go back to his parents and see what else the fortune teller had to say.
He was there when the fortune-telling was performed, but all the words were told by the fortune-teller and his parents behind his back, and only they knew what he said.
So far, he knows that he can eliminate the disaster by pretending to be poor, but how poor is it?And how long it will be installed, he still has no idea.
When standing in front of his parents and knocking on the door, Yang Qi heard them discussing why there were banana peels in the yard.
Yang Qi suddenly remembered that the piece of banana peel... seemed to be thrown by himself.
Seeing the golden python in the garden this morning, Yang Qi was so angry that he threw a banana peel at it.It is estimated that the servant was not careful when cleaning, the golden banana peel mixed with the bricks of the same color on the ground, and then fell down.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi felt even more guilty, and even knocked on the door a little lighter.
"Come in." Yang Qi's father's majestic voice sounded.
Yang Qi walked in, and then explained everything about today, saying that he felt that what the fortune teller said was true, and decided to pretend to be poor seriously.
Yang Qi's parents were quite relieved when they heard this.Even though they now know that Yang Qi may have caused today's accident, they did not complain. Instead, they persuaded: "Yang Qi, this is fate, and there is nothing we can do. Besides, pretending to be poor is just a matter of pretending to be poor." Years, when you turn 18 next year, your catastrophe will be over, and your bank card will be unfrozen."
Yang Qi originally thought about a year for a long time, but in the end, he thought that the bank card could also be unfrozen together, and he instantly regained his mental balance.
"Yes." Yang Qi nodded obediently.
"By the way, the fortune teller also said that if you pretend to be poor, you have to pretend to be thorough, so you can't go to an aristocratic school. You can go to a public school for a year." Yang Qi's mother explained.
Only then did Yang Qi realize that this was the reason why he was transferred to another school.Just because the school name has the word "nobility" in it, it violates the principle of pretending to be poor.
All right, he admits it!
But when it came to transferring schools, Yang Qi's parents became nagging, and they discussed Yang Qi's school equipment.
After all, it was Yang Qi's mother who loved her son more, thinking that he, who was usually spoiled and pampered, would be reduced to working with commoners in an instant, and her heart would hurt.
"What clothes to wear?"
"Famous brands must not be worn anymore, so let someone go online and buy him some clothes worth about [-] yuan."
"Then what does he eat every day? No matter how he pretends to be poor, he still can't save on food."
"Don't worry about food and living expenses. I will give him a card, and he can use 1000 yuan a month."
"Is one thousand too little?"
"It's quite a lot. He's boarding, and he doesn't have anything to spend except food."
"Give him a car. He has to go home on Saturday and Sunday. The school is a bit far away."
"No, their school is not far away, and the transportation is also convenient. You can take the subway or bus, and there is no need for a car."
……
"Wait, boarding?!" Yang Qi heard the key words.
No, it was agreed to transfer to another school, but now he has to be shut down?
Parents sighed together, and said, "Qingshi No. [-] High School implements a boarding system for all members, but don't worry, every Saturday and Sunday are off, you can still go home and have a look."
When Yang Qi heard the word boarding, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had inhaled poisonous gas.
It's been a long time since I heard this word. He has been used to being free for many years. It is too harsh for him to be locked in a school cage to study like many college entrance examination candidates!
"Why don't you talk to the school and let him pass the school?" Yang Qi's mother actually disagreed with him living in school.
Because she also knows that the dormitory conditions in Qingshi No. [-] Middle School are definitely not as good as those in noble schools.My precious son has to live in such a poor dormitory, how can this delicate body bear it?If it's sick, it's over.
Yang Qi's father turned cold and said, "You forgot what the fortune teller said? You don't remember what happened today?"
These two questions in a row left Yang Qi's mother speechless.
In the end, I had no choice but to sigh and nodded, patted Yang Qi's head and said, "Hey, there's no way, the fortune teller said, pretend to be poor as close as possible to the life of ordinary people. You must not show off at school, try to pretend to be poor, and wait until the catastrophe is hard." It'll be fine."
Yang Qi still nodded obediently.
He has almost understood the concept of "pretending to be poor", that is, mixing with ordinary students, wearing whatever they wear, and eating whatever they eat.Then he has to pretend for a year, and he will be free after one year, and he can resume his status as a rich second generation.
"I'll go back first." Yang Qi said goodbye, his parents nodded, and then he went out.
Yang Qi originally thought it would be easy to pretend to be poor, but later he realized, no, he was wrong.
Playing poor is harder than showing off rich. It's one of the hardest things in the world.
