He couldn't stop eating, one bite after another. Meng Yi liked it more and more, and in the end, he wanted to drink the whole broth of the hot pot.
Seeing Meng Yi touching his belly with a satisfied expression, Song Mian quickly opened the glass door to let in some fresh air.
The moment Song Mian opened the glass door, she could almost see the foul, pungent odor wafting through the air; the strong smell nearly made her stumble.
Suppressing the churning in her stomach, Song Mian shuddered all over, feeling completely unwell!
Lin Jiaojiao, who was standing to the side, couldn't withstand the overwhelming smell and bent over to vomit violently.
After Meng Yi had eaten and drunk his fill, seeing Lin Jiaojiao's resistance, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, she really doesn't know how to enjoy delicious food, or she's just unlucky!"
"You're lucky, otherwise how could you eat so much of my food in one go?" Song Mian looked heartbroken and sighed repeatedly at Meng Yi. "Do you know that I specially prepared this beef offal hotpot to please my big customer? I could sell this beef offal hotpot for eight million!"
Meng Yi's eyes widened in shock: "Song Mian! Stop trying to fool me! I know the market price. This hotpot meal costs at most a thousand yuan. I'll give you ten thousand if you want. Don't try to rip me off!"
"This is indeed the price in the mortal realm, but it's different once it's delivered to the ghost realm! Do you know how much effort it takes for me to deliver things from the mortal realm to you ghosts? I can only deliver this much stuff to the ghost realm every three days, which is why this hot pot is so precious!"
As Song Mian spoke, she got into character, wiping away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's over. I promised the customers something but failed to do it. What's the point of living like this?"
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you exaggerating? It's just a small thing, why are you making such a fuss?" Meng Yi saw that Song Mian was hanging her head and ignoring him, so he became uneasy. "Don't be like this, I can help you solve this, okay?"
“That’s not impossible.” Song Mian had been waiting for Meng Yi to say this, and immediately put away her sad expression, raising an eyebrow at Meng Yi.
Meng Yi then realized what was happening and looked at Song Mian with disbelief: "Are you kidding me? Song Mian, are you deliberately trying to trick me?"
Song Mian did it on purpose, of course, but facing the aggressive Meng Yi, she couldn't admit it: "You're really wronging me by saying that. I was originally planning to quit after making this one profit. You ruined my business."
"Lin Jiaojiao brought me here, so she should be involved in this too!" Meng Yi still couldn't accept the fact that she had been tricked.
Lin Jiaojiao feigned weakness and hid in Song Mian's arms: "Little boss, look how unreasonable there are people in this world! You clearly did something wrong, but you still blame me. I brought Meng Yi here out of kindness, but I didn't let Meng Yi eat your food!"
Song Mian patted Lin Jiaojiao on the back, earnestly comforting her, "Jiaojiao, don't be sad. It's come to this, we can only accept our fate. But this matter can't be left unresolved. When you return to the Ghost Realm, remember to tell all the ghosts how outrageous Meng Po's grandson has been!"
"That won't do!" Upon hearing this, Meng Yi nearly jumped up, grabbing Song Mian tightly and saying, "My grandma is already very angry about what happened last time. She originally didn't want me to come to the mortal world! I snuck out this time. If my grandma finds out that I snuck out and caused trouble, she'll definitely skin me alive!"
Seeing Meng Yi's nervousness, Song Mian sighed helplessly, "This won't work, that won't work. Meng Yi, you've done something wrong, you have to come up with a solution, right?"
Meng Yi, sweating nervously, looked at Song Mian and asked hesitantly, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you help me find a ghost, our entanglement will be over," Song Mian said straightforwardly.
Meng Yi looked Song Mian up and down, then hesitated before asking, "Is it really that simple?"
“Of course, after all, you didn’t do it on purpose today. Meng Yi, actually I wanted to give you more good food. If this beef offal hot pot wasn’t so hard to get, I would have sold it to you long ago.” Song Mian said with a serious expression.
Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but still said irritably, "Stop trying to sweet-talk me. Just tell me, what the hell are you looking for?"
"Could you help me find Yu Bai's family?" Song Mian asked expectantly.
Meng Yi immediately showed a look of disgust: "I knew it was because of him. I know, wait a minute, I'll give you good news tomorrow."
Seeing that Meng Yi agreed, Song Mian thanked him and saw him off.
The next morning, Song Mian went to the hospital to visit Zhang Guiying.
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?"
