Qiqi blinked her big, curious eyes, her tone spoiled like a little witch who wanted to have anything she liked.

"But I just like it, I'm willing to pay for it for you!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a bank card, looking incredibly wealthy, and said, "I have a lot of money, you can name your price!"

"I...I won't sell!" Lingling said timidly, hiding her hands behind her back. "This is a gift from my mother, I won't sell it for any amount of money."

To make this bracelet, my mother stayed up all night every day, and even injured her hand.

This is my mother's gift; she doesn't want to sell it.

Oh, it's not for sale!

Qiqi pursed her lips in disappointment. She had thought that since they were in such a difficult situation, they would agree to buy it if she offered to pay for it.

With her bright black eyes darting around, Qiqi reached into her bag and took out a bracelet she had made herself. "Okay, I'll go with you then. My mom made this for me too."

Actually, this is a magical artifact she made herself, which can protect this young lady in critical moments.

She could tell that the young lady was going to have a bloody accident tonight and would be beaten to death by her father.

I'm sorry, Mom, Qiqi didn't want to lie.

"No, I won't change." Lingling shook her head again.

Qiqi: ……

If she neither sells nor exchanges, and you directly say she's facing a bloody disaster, they definitely won't believe you.

How can she give the magical artifact to the young lady?!

Qiqi frowned, looking troubled.

Seeing the little girl's dejected look, Lingling's mother felt a pang of sympathy and said, "I'm sorry, little one, this bracelet is a gift I gave to my daughter. She loves it and really doesn't want to exchange it with you. If you like it, how about I make you another one?"

This auntie is such a kind person; she takes such good care of even a complete stranger like a child.

Such a good person really didn't deserve to die such a tragic death.

"Okay then." Qiqi looked reluctant. "Then let's exchange phone numbers. Call me when you're done! This is for you, consider it payment!"

After Qiqi finished speaking, she put the peach wood bracelet in her hand into Lingling's mother's hand.

Lingling's mother glanced at the bracelet in her palm. It was made of wood, carved and polished beads, with intricate patterns, but she couldn't make out what they were.

The touch was also peculiar, with an indescribable sense of comfort.

The words I wanted to say to refuse somehow got stuck in my throat.

"Thank you in advance, Auntie." Lingling's mother put the bracelet on her wrist, then looked down and took out her phone. "Little one, do you know your parents' phone numbers?"

Qiqi then realized that she didn't know her parents' or brothers' phone numbers.

Fortunately, her second brother and third brother were outside, so she could just go and ask them.

"Excuse me, Auntie, I don't know my parents' phone numbers. But wait for me a moment, my brother is outside, I'll go ask him and then I'll come back to tell you!" Qiqi said, turning around and running outside.

"Hey..." Lingling's mother reached out to stop her, but it was too late.

It was getting late, and she needed to hurry back to cook.

If it gets too late, I'm afraid I'll get beaten up again.

Noticing her mother's unease, Lingling reached out and tugged at her clothes in a panic. "Mom, let's go back quickly. Otherwise, Dad will get angry again."

"Hmm." Lingling's mother nodded, but looking at the bracelet on her wrist, she bit her lip with some difficulty. "But we promised that little boy earlier, so let's wait a little longer."

"But……"

"Five minutes, we'll just wait for her for five minutes." Five minutes shouldn't be a problem, right?

The woman thought anxiously.

She took Lingling's hand and walked towards the bathroom door.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the little girl being held in the arms of a man in a black suit, with a cold expression and an extremely domineering aura.

The little girl was excitedly talking to him when she saw them come out, and immediately pointed at them.

The man carried her and walked towards them.

Lingling's mother awkwardly took her daughter's hand and shrank back two steps.

"Hello, you...you must be the little girl's brother?" The woman held her phone. "The little girl likes my daughter's bracelet, and I promised to make one for her. If it's convenient, could you leave me your number? I'll call you after I finish making it and send the bracelet over by express delivery."

Huo Fei, with a stern face and a cold tone, said, "I'm not Miss Qiqi's brother, I'm just a bodyguard." After saying that, he recited a string of numbers, "Call this number when it's done."

He left his own number, the young master's number, which naturally couldn't be easily given to others.

"Okay." The woman quickly wrote down the number, then dialed it back. She hung up after hearing a sound from the man's pocket. "This is my number. I'll call you when it's ready."

"Hmm." Huo Fei responded coldly, but when he turned to Qi Qi, his expression and voice softened. "Miss Qi Qi, my young master and the second young master Ji are already waiting in the shop. Let's go over now. They'll worry if we're late."

"good."

Qiqi originally had some things she wanted to say, but upon hearing this, she could only give up.

Moreover, saying too much during a first meeting can easily arouse suspicion in the other party.

However, as Huo Fei turned to leave with her in his arms, she couldn't help but shout something at the woman.

"Auntie, if you need any help, you can also call Uncle Huo Fei!"

Lingling's mother paused for a moment, unsure of how she might need help, but nodded nonetheless, "Okay."

After all, the little girl meant well!

"Mom, let's go quickly." Seeing the little girl leave, Lingling hurriedly urged her mother in a low voice.

She was really afraid that if she went home late, her father would get angry and beat her and her mother again.

She was terrified of her father because being beaten hurt so much.

Seeing her daughter cowering in fear, Lingling's mother couldn't help but recall the little girl from earlier.

She was dressed very elegantly and had bodyguards to protect her. Her chubby little face was full of innocent charm, a result of happiness. She was clearly a child who had grown up in a sweet and pampered environment.

If she hadn't been blind to the truth and risked everything for that man, her daughter could have been as happy as that little girl.

Thinking of this, a hint of guilt flashed in the woman's eyes. She held her daughter's hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Lingling, Mom will take you home now."

After the woman finished speaking, she bent down, picked up Lingling, and walked towards the escalator.

Behind them, Qiqi leaned on Huo Fei's shoulder, watching their backs.

The faint aura of death that had been clinging to them was beginning to dissipate, proving that the bracelet she had given to the aunt had worked.

I hope Auntie can wake up soon and escape this misery!
