Ah Jin's money didn't come from thin air; it was hard-earned money from working overtime until late at night every day and dealing with all sorts of clients.

Qiao Xi cleared her throat and said, "Anyway, I already have two. Uncle, you can give this one to my future aunt. She will be very happy to receive this gift."

Qi Jincheng immediately understood Qiao Xi's meaning, and he smiled slightly as he agreed, "In that case, we'll take our leave."

Before they could even turn around, Bai Xiuyan called out to them, "Stop!"

It's not that Bai Xiuyan can't afford the money, it's that he can't swallow this insult!

He could tolerate the 300 million if it brought him happiness, but the problem is that not only did he not find it enjoyable, it also left him with a belly full of anger!

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiuyan decisively said, "Take the three hundred and twenty million."

"Uncle," Qiao Xi pouted, looking troubled, and said, "I really don't like that Tear of Eternity. Compared to the other two, this one sounds a bit sad. You should keep it for yourself."

After saying that, she took Qi Jincheng's arm, and the two turned around to leave again in perfect coordination.

Bai Xiuyan was so angry he wanted to strangle Qiao Xi, that traitorous brat! If she weren't his sister's biological daughter, he would have killed her on the spot!

But considering he was his own son, he could only endure it!

"Three hundred million!" Bai Xiuyan said, touching his bottom line.

Qi Jincheng, playing along with Qiao Xi, gave a slightly helpless smile, "Uncle, it's not about the money, it's mainly that Xi'er doesn't like it, so we have no choice..."

"How much do you want?" Bai Xiuyan gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Qi Jincheng.

"One hundred million."

"Eighty million."

Qi Jincheng and Qiao Xi both offered two prices, with Qiao Xi clearly being more aggressive. This completely crossed Bai Xiuyan's bottom line, and he angrily rebuked Qiao Xi, "You brat!"

Qiao Xi hid behind Qi Jincheng somewhat fearfully and said weakly, "Eighty million is my bottom line. If my uncle is unwilling to sell, then I can only keep it for myself."

That broken stone is worthless to him! Leaving it there will only annoy him!

Suppressing his anger, Bai Xiuyan took another deep breath and said, "One hundred million, take it."

Qiao Xi never expected him to agree to the price she mentioned. Even if it were the 100 million that Qi Jincheng had offered, she thought it was impossible. But the result was beyond her expectations; her uncle actually agreed!

Could there be a problem here?

After all, her uncle would never do a deal that loses money like this. Her original intention was to continue to bargain with him, such as getting it down to 200 million, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.

Qiao Xi, somewhat incredulous, probed, "Uncle, are you really going to waste 2.1 billion for that 1 billion? This deal doesn't seem worthwhile no matter how you look at it."

"Shut up!" Bai Xiuyan's patience with her had reached its limit. Even though she was his own sister's daughter, he was about to lose his temper!

She clearly has the blood of the Bai family flowing through her veins, yet she insists on siding with other men!

Qi Jincheng readily replied, "Deal."

Qiao Xi blinked and looked at Qi Jincheng, who gave her an affirmative look.

It's hard to believe, but that's how it's decided!

Fearing he might change his mind, Qiao Xi immediately asked, "Uncle, shall we deliver the goods now?"

"Xi'er." Qi Jincheng gently put his arm around Qiao Xi's waist and said to her, "Go back and wait for me for a while. I want to talk to my uncle."

Qiao Xi's eyes unconsciously glanced at her uncle, sensing that he didn't seem very willing to communicate with A Jin.

But since Ah Jin wanted to communicate with him, she was determined to oblige. "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for you."

"Uncle, I'm leaving now." Qiao Xi made a point of saying goodbye to Bai Xiuyan before leaving.

Bai Xiuyan didn't want to pay any attention to her at all; it was already a favor that he didn't hit her with a hammer.

After Qiao Xi left, A Fei also tactfully withdrew with his bodyguards, leaving only Qi Jincheng and Bai Xiuyan in the room.

Qi Jincheng sat down in the chair opposite him without ceremony. It seemed like they hadn't sat down and talked like this even once since they both learned about the marriage.

"Get out of here right after you pay." Bai Xiuyan's face showed more than just a little disgust for him.

Qi Jincheng said slowly, seemingly unconcerned, "To be honest, I bought those three diamonds before and gave them to Xi'er. The reason I put them up for auction this time is just to go through the motions."

Bai Xiuyan had already vaguely guessed something before this, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped because of 300 million, so there is only one reason!

"Shameless." Bai Xiuyan cursed him angrily.

Qi Jincheng smiled slightly, poured himself a cup of tea from his teapot without ceremony, took a small sip, and said indifferently, "However, Xi'er just said that she is not very interested in that Tear of Eternity, so... it's up to you whether you want to sell it or not."

"Three hundred and ten million, not a penny less." Bai Xiuyan immediately changed his mind and overturned the previous price of one hundred million.

Qi Jincheng didn't try to bargain with him, but instead went along with him, pretending to mutter to himself, "If this money were used to buy that pen, it would be worthwhile."

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about!

Bai Xiuyan, feeling inexplicably jealous, said coldly, "She's yours now, the Bai family can't keep her."

The implication was that Qi Jincheng was aware of the situation, and he still held a grudge about it, which had become an insurmountable obstacle for him.

Qi Jincheng knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. The only thing he could say was, "I said that if I marry her, I will definitely treat her well, unless... she does something that crosses my bottom line."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuyan's face immediately darkened, and he warned him word by word, "If you dare to touch her, I guarantee that no one in your Qi family will survive."

That was Qi Jincheng's initial thought. Now that he knows Xi'er's feelings, he has no more worries. All he needs to do is treat her well and protect her.

His gaze deepened as he looked at Bai Xiuyan, his tone carrying a hint of ruthless warning, "If anyone dares to touch Xi'er, it's absolutely not your turn to lay a hand on her."

After a brief exchange of glances, Bai Xiuyan looked away first and gave him two words, "Get lost."

Qi Jincheng stood up knowingly, and said to him with amusement, "I will give you every penny of the money. As for your previous tricks, don't try them on me again."

“You didn’t beat me many times back in college. Now that you have Xi’er as your strategist, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to beat me again.”

"Get lost!" Bai Xiuyan couldn't help but give him a fierce look.
