"By the way, Miss, it seems that the Shi family also wants to bid for the mine."
"The Shi family?" Shi Ran stood up in surprise. "Who is it? Grandpa? Dad? Uncle?"
Think about it carefully.
Excluding his father, Shi Ran knew that his father was not interested in this. If there was an auction, the teacher would not be unaware of it.
Excluding my uncle, after all, my uncle has an affair with the Song family. How could there be another competitor in the Song family's bidding?
"Is that Grandpa?"
"It seems to be the master."
Shi Ran frowned.
In your previous life, did grandpa ever participate in the auction of a mining farm?
I have no recollection of it. I only remember that the Song family was the final winner, so I didn't pay attention to who else was bidding for the mine.
What's more, what people care about is the final result, and there is no mention of who was involved.
If grandpa also participates, will the price be higher?
This is her own business. In fact, she and her grandfather are competitors.
At present, all her business is done in the name of teacher, and people are not allowed to know that she is the person behind it.
So, I can’t tell grandpa yet.
"Let the teacher get ready."
"OK."
Huang Lele nodded and walked out.
The cake that Shi Ran sent to Song Sichen was also prepared for her aunt's twins.
At the previous birthday party, the twins were a little unhappy because their parents were arguing, so this time I wanted to use cake to make them feel better.
Shi Ran walked into the twins' living room alone.
"No one."
It was strange that the twins were not in the living room, and when I walked in, I didn't see anyone in the yard either.
As I pushed open the half-open door to look for the twins, I heard a familiar voice from inside.
“Is the mine operating as expected…?”
Mine?
Shi Ran quickly held his breath and hid behind the door.
"Not only are we paying attention to this matter now, but even the Shi family is paying attention to it."
"This is a major event, so it's understandable that they're concerned." My uncle said with a kind smile, "As mentioned before, the auction is scheduled for this Friday."
"Fortunately, there's no change. So, the bidding price..."
"Because it's our mine, the old man seems very confident and has asked his secretary to handle it. After all, it's ours. I heard that the Shi family will bid 15 million, so we only need to surpass that by one million."
Sure enough, because of grandpa’s joining, the price was a little higher than what Shi Ran knew in his previous life.
After this incident, although the position will be a little difficult, my uncle is not too worried.
No matter what, he is the only son-in-law of the Shi family.
Even if he knew that he was the one who leaked the news, he would just pretend to reflect on himself for a few months.
Shi Ran didn't quite understand.
My uncle's family owes 70 million in debt, and 5 million needs to be paid off this weekend, so they will hold an auction on Friday to repay the debt.
But why would my uncle help the Song family?
Grandpa also wanted to get this mine, and perhaps he also saw the value of this mine, but why didn't my uncle let Grandpa take a picture of it, but instead helped outsiders?
"Then it was sold at the agreed price of 16 million."
"Yes, everything was as agreed beforehand."
"Haha, wish us good luck."
The man opposite my uncle was scratching his hair and grinning foolishly.
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It seems that because the mine belongs to our family, no one in the Shi family would doubt it. So, I wish us success."
My uncle extended his hand and shook hands with the man opposite him.
"Please believe us, the Song family. Even if we get the mine and the purchasing rights, we will give you half of it."
"certainly……"
Shi Ran finally understood why her uncle betrayed the Shi family.
For purchasing rights.
Feeling that their conversation was almost coming to an end, Shi Ran took a deep breath, turned around, and wanted to leave quietly.
Click.
Hear a small noise.
It seemed to be the sound of a half-open door.
My uncle immediately stopped talking and began to scan the room carefully with eagle-like eyes. The smile on his lips had already cooled down.
The hem of Shi Ran's dress was exposed at the door.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Shi Ran was too late to run. He pretended to have just appeared. The next moment, he was grabbed by his uncle's shoulders.
"you……"
My uncle looked at Shi Ran in surprise.
"Where's my brother?" Shi Ran held out the cake in her hand with a clear face, pretending not to hear anything, and said with a smile: "I came to give my brother a cake. Where is my brother?"
Shi Ran was trying so hard to smile that the corners of his mouth seemed to be cramping.
I don't know how I made the sound that made him discover it.
The face that usually always had a smile on it became cold when it saw Shi Ran, and its eyes, sparkling like snakes, stared at Shi Ran.
[So this is your true self. It must be tiring to keep pretending to be a good son-in-law!]
"Since when have you been here?"
"Shi Ran just arrived."
"I didn't hear any knocks."
"Because the door was open, I just walked in...I'm sorry."
Shi Ran tried his best to pretend to be scared and hunched his shoulders.
At this time, Shi Ran's savior came over.
"Shi Ran?"
It was the twins' voices.
"Brother!" Shi Ran was like a life-saving straw. "I'm here to bring you cakes. These are cakes from Lu's Cake Shop. They're so sweet. I bought some today and brought some for you, brother. Let's eat cake together."
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Changping's face tightened.
"Nothing, Shi Ran couldn't find you guys, so he came here."
As he said that, his uncle let go of Shi Ran and smiled at the twins.
"Dad, do you have guests today?"
Chang'an looked at the man standing behind him, who was sent by the Song family.
"Ah!" the man suddenly said hurriedly, "We've finished talking. I'm leaving now."
He nodded and left in a hurry.
Shi Ran pretended nothing had happened and just stared at the man's leaving steps.
After the man walked out of the corridor, my aunt came over with tea.
"Why is Shi Ran here?"
"Send a cake to my brother."
The corners of my aunt's mouth curled up into a smile and she rubbed Shi Ran's hair.
"Go play with your brother."
"OK!"
Before Shi Ran could finish her words, the twins had already pulled Shi Ran's arms and left.
"Have the guests left?"
"Yeah." My uncle, who had returned to normal, patted my aunt's shoulder and said, "I have an appointment today and will be back a little late. You can go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."
My uncle kissed my aunt on the cheek affectionately and left the living room.
Shi Ran turned around and saw that scene.
What led to their divorce? Why didn't my aunt even fight for custody of the twins during the divorce?
