Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 83

“No way, I’m born with this ability. Even if you want to learn, you won’t be able to.”

“How can that be something you’re just born with? At most, it’s something that’s been trained over time. Sister, it’s fine if you don’t tell me, but I’m not a child anymore. Don’t try to fool me.”

Clearly, Lu Mao did not believe what Sheng Fei said and shook his head.

Sheng Fei shrugged her shoulders. There was nothing she could do, she had told the truth. It was something she was born with.

Innate abilities, how could one possibly learn that?

“Forget it if you don’t believe me.”

Sheng Fei waved her hand.

Sheng Fei didn’t want to say too much to Lu Mao, talking to someone who doesn’t understand is like playing music for a cow.

Instead, she often chatted with Lu Mao’s boss.

The boss was a young man and also a talkative person. Every time he chatted with Sheng Fei, he could always make people feel exceptionally at ease, so the two of them chatted like old friends for a long time.

After selling the antiques, Sheng Fei had saved up about 50,000 yuan at home these days. Actually, this 50,000 yuan was just a small amount in Sheng Fei’s eyes, as there were still too few things she wanted to do in the future.

She continued to hide the money using her own special ability.

Sheng Fei was generally very careful in her actions.

The only downside was that if her special ability was to disappear, the money would probably be untraceable.

In addition to these things, Sheng Fei would also decompose other valuable ornaments and jewelry and gather them around herself.

Although she often carried a small backpack when going out, Sheng Fei was just using it to divert attention.

The small backpack actually only contained some tissues and small items without anything too precious, like the money, which Sheng Fei would never put in the backpack.

Carrying the small backpack, Sheng Fei walked on the street, looking at the street, and her mood became very calm.

Nowadays, Sheng Fei was enjoying life more and more.

As she was walking in front, Sheng Fei suddenly felt that there seemed to be some chaotic footsteps behind her, getting closer and closer.

Sheng Fei was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to turn around, she felt a pain in her arm and the small backpack immediately disappeared.

Sheng Fei was startled.

“There’s a robbery!”

Although there was nothing important in the small backpack, the fact that someone robbed her really annoyed Sheng Fei.

As soon as she shouted, a young man next to her immediately gave chase, probably wanting to be a good Samaritan.

After chasing for a long time, Sheng Fei was ready to give up.

She stood there in place, panting and taking a break.

Running was not Sheng Fei’s strong point, and now she really didn’t want to run anymore. About ten minutes later, Sheng Fei thought that the small backpack was gone for good.

But after a while, she found her small backpack back. Sheng Fei looked up and saw the young man sheepishly scratching his head, handing the backpack back to Sheng Fei.

“This is your thing, I just got it back from that thief’s hands.”

“You run really fast.”

“I’m a county-level sprint champion and have won medals before.”

The young man seemed very shy. After introducing himself to Sheng Fei, he fidgeted with his fingers.

Seeing Sheng Fei’s beautiful face, the young man didn’t know where to put his eyes.

He also seemed a bit clumsy when walking.

“Thank you so much this time. Let me treat you to a meal.”

Although there was nothing important in the bag, but since the young man had done a good deed, and Sheng Fei just happened to be going to have lunch, she invited the young man to eat together.

“How could that be? I was just doing a small favor.”

“Thank you, it’s also a token of my appreciation. Surely you won’t deny me the chance to thank you?”

“Then let me treat you to a meal.”

In the end, the young man took Sheng Fei out to eat.

The two of them went to a nice restaurant. After Sheng Fei ordered two bowls of rice, she ordered several main dishes as treat for the young man.

Sheng Fei had recently made some money, so she didn’t treat her stomach badly.

She lowered her head and started eating first.

Seeing Sheng Fei eating so heartily, the young man also stayed silent. They both lowered their heads and ate their meal in harmony.

By the time they had both eaten about the same amount, Sheng Fei started talking to the young man. She learned that his name was Zhang Jiahui and that he had come here to visit relatives.

It just so happened that he saw someone trying to snatch Sheng Fei’s things, so he immediately gave chase without a second thought.

Zhang Jiahui had a kind face and was quite talkative.

After the meal, he proactively poured a cup of hot water for Sheng Fei to help clear her throat.

Then the two then began conversing.

Zhang Jiahui seemed very approachable and considerate.

In the end, when the server came to collect the bill, it was Zhang Jiahui who paid.

“This is too kind of you, I was meant to treat you to a meal since you helped me. Now that you’ve paid, what should I do?”

Zhang Jiahui smiled, his eyes curved as he looked at Sheng Fei.

“I’m a man, how could I let a woman pay! Besides, to have a beautiful woman like you dine with me is an honor.”

“Your words are indeed very sweet. Just call me Sheng Fei!”

After chatting with the young man Zhang Jiahui, Sheng Fei smiled and the two then went their separate ways.

Zhang Jiahui kept thinking about how lovely Sheng Fei had looked during their meal and her graceful mannerisms. Even just her face alone was unforgettable to him.

Moreover, he felt that Sheng Fei had a kind of calm and rational quality about her that was also very charming.

This kind of charm seemed to exist within her.

Zhang Jiahui was clearly captivated by Sheng Fei’s aura.

“She’s so beautiful, and seems so refined. I wonder what her family does.”

Zhang Jiahui was rather shy, and the whole person appeared a bit awkward.

But once he got more comfortable, he became more talkative. It was only after Sheng Fei’s figure had disappeared for a long time that Zhang Jiahui suddenly remembered he had forgotten to ask where she lived.

If he had, he could have used the excuse of sending her home to learn her address.

That way, he could visit her or see her again.

Zhang Jiahui felt a bit regretful, thinking that he might never see Sheng Fei again in this vast world.

Thinking of this, he could no longer see Sheng Fei’s retreating back. With crestfallen eyes, he could only leave.

After her small backpack was snatched, Sheng Fei opened it to find all the contents gone. There were just some papers left, not even a single penny.

It seemed that the thief had made off with everything.

Zhang Jiahui likely hadn’t noticed it, and Sheng Fei didn’t suspect him of stealing her things at all. His eyes, actions and behavior gave no indication that he was the type to steal.

Sheng Fei prided herself on being a good judge of character, and this time was no exception.

After returning home, Sheng Fei proceeded to make dinner.
