Song Mian raised her chin, her clear black eyes filled with confusion: "Why should I be disappointed? Mr. Qi, your group has so many business partners, do you really treat everyone with complete honesty?"
“Of course not…” Qi Yefeng seemed to realize something just then, and said with a slight smile, “It was my fault, I forgot that Miss Song is also a businesswoman.”
"Jiaojiao and I are good friends because we are truly sincere with each other. But just because Jiaojiao is willing to be with me doesn't mean I have to be good friends with every other customer. Yesterday, Chen Shubin traded so many antiques for this pearl bracelet with me. Today, I'm handing the pearl bracelet over to Chen Shubin, and my task is complete. As for the rest, I don't really care."
Song Mian spoke frankly.
She wasn't interested in Chen Shubin's story, nor did she care whether he was telling the truth or lying to her.
Anyway, Chen Shubin and she did business together, and as long as she served the customers well, she had no interest in anything else.
Qi Yefeng nodded, but inwardly he felt a newfound respect for Song Mian.
It's rare to find a young girl as young yet so clear-headed as Song Mian.
“I think Old Ancestor Lin might be quite disappointed after he learns the truth. I would appreciate it if Miss Song could help persuade him.” Qi Yefeng said, placing a piece of Orleans chicken wing on the table and handing it to Song Mian.
“Of course.” Song Mian readily agreed. After finishing her meal, she declined Qi Yefeng’s suggestion to take her home for tea and instead had Qi Yefeng take her home directly.
Upon arriving at the funeral clothing shop, Song Mian learned new details from the bodyguards.
The Song family came again, and they almost splashed paint on the entrance of the funeral clothing store.
Fortunately, the bodyguards stopped them, preventing them from succeeding.
Song Mian was grateful to the bodyguards, but she was also more worried about Chen Guiying's situation.
Grandma no longer has any contact with the Song family, but that doesn't mean the Song family won't bother her.
Thinking of this, Song Mian left her house and headed straight for the hospital.
It was 8 p.m., and most of the patients were still awake.
Without notifying Aunt Shen in advance, Song Mian tiptoed into the ward.
Upon entering Chen Guiying's ward, Song Mian witnessed an extremely harmonious scene.
Chen Guiying and three other elderly women in the same ward were chatting together.
"Oh my, my little girl is here!" Chen Guiying smiled and waved to the others when she saw Song Mian. "I'm not playing anymore. It's rare for my little girl to come all this way, so I have to have a chat with her!"
"Grandma, it's only been a few days, but you look much better than before." Song Mian sat on the stool next to Chen Guiying's bed and placed the breakfast she had bought on the table.
“My health is already good. Nannan, you don’t earn money easily, let’s not waste money in the hospital, you should take Grandma home quickly.” Chen Guiying held Song Mian’s hand, “Look, you’ve lost weight again these past few days, it must be because you’re working too hard to earn money.”
"Grandma, I'm not tired." Song Mian looked at Chen Guiying's wrinkled face, and many words were stuck in her throat, leaving her at a loss for words.
Chen Guiying immediately noticed Song Mian's unease and pulled her hand to sit down: "Nannan, why do you seem unhappy today? Did you suffer some injustice at work? Tell Grandma honestly, and Grandma will help you get revenge."
Amused by Chen Guiying's serious expression, Song Mian called out "Grandma" and then threw herself into Chen Guiying's arms.
"Grandma, someone really did bully me. Grandma, those bad people treated me so badly, can I think of a way to get revenge on them?" Song Mian asked tentatively.
"Of course!"
To Song Mian's surprise, Chen Guiying agreed immediately, leaving her somewhat incredulous: "But Grandma, I'm not sure if you'll be angry after I take revenge on them..."
"Grandma will only be angry with those who bully you, not with you. Nannan, you are Grandma's only granddaughter and the most sensible child in our family. Grandma knows how outrageous the Song family is. Grandma can't save you, but Grandma hopes you can save yourself." Chen Guiying said earnestly, cupping Song Mian's face in her hands.
Song Mian's eyes widened in surprise, her face filled with disbelief: "Grandma, how did you know I was talking about someone from the Song family?"
"Silly girl, Grandma has lived so many years longer than you, so of course I know everything." Patting Song Mian's cheek, Chen Guiying said with a smile, "Alright, my good girl, do whatever you want to do. As long as you don't break the law, Grandma will support you."
"Thank you, Grandma." Song Mian gave Chen Guiying a big hug, and then said seriously, "Grandma, I promise you, I won't offend others unless they provoke me first, and I will only take action against them when I can no longer tolerate it."
"Alright, alright, Grandma knows. Go ahead and do what you want to do. Come visit Grandma more often when you have time." Zhang Guiying patted Song Mian and watched her leave.
Overjoyed, Song Mian quickly left the hospital and returned to the funeral clothing shop.
Song Mian didn't want to open the door today. She felt exhausted as she thought about what had happened these past few days.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Song Mian suddenly heard a clicking sound in her sleep.
It sounded like something was gnawing on something, and the orderly sound soon woke Song Mian from her deep sleep.
In her dazed state, Song Mian vaguely saw a huge dark figure huddled in a corner not far away.
It was a gray, hazy figure that looked exactly like a beggar, with long, messy hair hanging down his back, looking very slovenly.
A ghost had sneaked in while she wasn't looking.
Realizing this, Song Mian quietly concealed herself and slowly approached the beggar.
Picking up her pink shovel, which she used to dig holes, Song Mian approached the beggar ghost and clearly saw that the ground was covered with scattered sunflower seed shells.
This little thief is incredibly bold, actually daring to come here and provoke us!
With a heavy sigh, Song Mian's forehead was covered in a bead of cold sweat. Then, she slapped the beggar ghost on the head with a small shovel.
Originally, Song Mian only wanted to scare the beggar ghost, but to her surprise, as soon as her shovel landed, the beggar ghost let out a shrill wail and fell down with its eyes rolled back.
Unexpectedly, Song Mian was able to take down a ghost with just a small shovel. When she saw the beggar ghost lying on the ground, convulsing and rolling its eyes, her heart trembled violently, followed by a bad premonition.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop lying there pretending to be dead, please wake up!" Song Mian patted the beggar ghost's face, but found that the beggar ghost completely ignored her, and its body even began to twitch uncontrollably.
This startled Song Mian, who quickly fetched a bottle of water and gave it to the beggar ghost to drink.
After the bottle touched the beggar ghost's lips, the beggar ghost, who had been foaming at the mouth, suddenly seemed to have gained strength and began to drink in large gulps.
He couldn't stop drinking, one sip after another, and the beggar ghost gulped down the whole bottle of water!
The beggar ghost remained lying in front of Song Mian, looking half-dead.
Song Mian tried giving the beggar ghost another bottle of water.
The beggar ghost stopped drinking after only drinking half of it, his mouth tightly shut, and his stomach kept making gurgling noises.
The commotion sounds like they've been starving for a long time!
Upon hearing this, Song Mian had a strong premonition and tentatively picked up a pack of Little Panda instant noodles from the shelf next to her.
