Chapter 18 - Counterfeit Money

Ding Yuqin smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, Master Liu got excited and chattered on, "Don't you believe it, my profession has actually saved lives before!" Our neighbor has an old lady named Wang, who is in her eighties. Her husband passed away early, leaving her with a radio. The old lady listens to it every day, saying that it's like chatting with her husband. One day, when the radio broke, the old lady became distraught and on the verge of a mental breakdown. In the end, I fixed the radio. Would you say that counts as saving a life? "

Okay! Ding Yuqin said confidently, "This radio is the old lady's spiritual sustenance. If it suddenly breaks down, she may not be able to bear the shock. It's not impossible for her to die suddenly at her age. In that case, you really are a doctor." "

Ding Yuqin's spirits improved a lot, she smiled sweetly, looked at Master Liu with more appreciation and closeness, and even chatted and laughed with him. Master Liu grew to like the cute and kind Ding Yuqin more and more. Finally, unable to hold back, Master Liu blurted out, "Want to be in a relationship with me?" "

What? Ding Yuqin widened her eyes and cutely tugged at her own ear.

Master Liu's face turned red, coughed twice, and said, "I mean, can I treat you to a meal?" You see, I didn't register or pay today, but you still gave me the medicine. I want to save money to treat you to a meal. Let's consider it a favor this time! "

Ding Yuqin never harbored any ill feelings towards Master Liu, and today, seeing him always trusting her and selflessly helping the young patient and the elder sister-in-law, she looked at him with new eyes, and... It's just a meal, for her who is all alone, making a friend wouldn't be a bad idea.

After some self-persuasion, Ding Yuqin finally nodded, this is the first time that Master Liu has successfully dated a girl since he became an adult, and he is also a daytime angel, with a stunning appearance, he almost jumped up excitedly, tried to suppress his emotions, and pretended to be a gentleman and said: "Thank you for the beauty of the face, I don't know what you want to eat?" But let's talk first, I can't afford to treat you if it's over a hundred bucks! "

It was the first time Ding Yuqin had heard of such an invitation. She always had a smile on her face as she followed Master Liu to the main gate. It was noon, and the street was bustling with traffic and pedestrians. The major hotels along the road were doing brisk business. Although Master Liu appeared to be poor, he was willing to spare no expense for Ding Yuqin. At the very least, he brought along his passbook this time, even though he only had one hundred yuan in cash.

Not far from the hospital, there is a famous fast food restaurant with cheap prices and delicious food. Although it's not far, the midday sun is scorching. Seeing Ding Yuqin's fair and delicate skin glowing beautifully, Master Liu couldn't bear it. He casually hailed a taxi, and they arrived at their destination with just the starting fare. Master Liu paid the bill, and the taxi driver, holding a hundred yuan bill, carefully examined it for a while as if he was looking at his daughter-in-law. Then he turned around reluctantly, handed the money back, and said with a flattering smile, "Hey, brother, I haven't had any passengers all morning. I don't have change for such a big bill. What do you think..." "

Hmm? Master Liu frowned. He only had this one banknote on him, and judging from the driver's attitude just now, why did he say he didn't have change now after scrutinizing it for a while? Could it be... He had a sense of foreboding in his heart, but couldn't speak up. Ding Yuqin in the back seat was also a shrewd person. She quickly handed over a ten yuan bill, telling the driver not to bother giving back the change, and said, "Sorry, driver, you don't need to give us the change. Thank you!" "

Without saying a word, he opened the car door and walked straight towards the restaurant. Mr. Liu followed quickly, looking embarrassed, holding the hundred yuan bill in his hand. Typically, sellers would say they have no change after looking at the money, so this bill must be counterfeit!

Mr. Liu was very upset because yesterday evening someone bought a nine-inch black and white TV that had been stored in his shop for many years. Mr. Liu had purchased it for fifteen yuan back then, planning to use it for monitoring video in the shop. However, a seemingly honest middle-aged man came and said he was a migrant worker facing difficulties at home and just wanted to buy a TV to pass the time. Mr. Liu casually quoted a price of one hundred yuan, and the middle-aged man paid the full amount without bargaining.

Master Liu woke up laughing four times last night, he might cry today!

Now that the die is cast, Ding Yuqin has already entered the restaurant and been seated at a window-side table by the waiter. Liu Jiannan had no choice but to walk over with a forced smile on his face, feeling awkward. He really wanted to tell Ding Yuqin the truth, but this was his first time having lunch with a girl he liked. For a man, saving face is more important than anything else. He couldn't show any weakness no matter what!

At the same time, he still harbored a glimmer of hope. If others could deceive him with counterfeit money, couldn't he deceive others as well? As the saying goes. There are still more fools in the world!

Master Liu, who had opened up, sat down casually, while Ding Yuqin was absent-mindedly flipping through the menu, occasionally looking up at him with a smile in her eyes, not knowing what she was planning. Master Liu scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, not looking at the menu, and blurted out, "Four Australian abalones, two lobsters weighing three catties each, skip the fish maw, it's too expensive..." "

This is really not... The waitress said helplessly.

Ding Yuqin covered her mouth and chuckled with a recipe in hand, while Nian Fan picked up another recipe, calculated the price, ordered braised pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, sizzling beef, and a few typical meat dishes, along with drinks and a bottle of beer, totaling exactly one hundred yuan. She was determined to make the cashier at this restaurant think she was just as clueless as them!

They started eating, the two people at the table were basically strangers, not in a hurry. Master Liu tried to please, constantly picking out a few jokes that were not too vulgar from his mind, telling them with great enthusiasm. Miss Ding seemed to pay great attention to health, very picky about things. She only tasted a little of the rich food and finally ordered a bowl of tomato and egg soup for herself. She sipped it gently, occasionally smiling in response to Master Liu's jokes. However, Master Liu couldn't help but wonder if this bowl of egg soup was a complimentary dish from the restaurant.

The two of them chatted aimlessly, eating less and less, getting closer to the time to pay the bill. Mr. Liu became more and more nervous, almost squeezing the fake money in his pocket out of water. Just then, a voice like a crying soul came from the opposite side. Ding Yuqin waved her hand and said, "Waiter, the bill, please!" "

Upon closer inspection, Ding Yuqin was holding a hundred yuan bill in her hand. Judging from the quality and appearance, it was definitely a genuine bill. As the waiter approached slowly, she smiled faintly, her phoenix-like eyes glancing lightly at Master Liu... …
