"I lied just now! Lin Jiaojiao is actually our Lin family's ancestor, and we are her descendants!" Lin Zi hurriedly ran towards the gold. "So half of this gold belongs to our Lin family! Half of it belongs to us!"
Qi Yefeng watched as Lin Zi rushed over, stood on the steps at the door, and kicked Lin Zi in the chest.
Lin Zi screamed and fell to the ground. Lin Zixiang and Sun Man rushed over to help him up, pointing at Qi Yefeng's nose and scolding, "Qi Yefeng, how dare you hit someone in front of the media?!"
"I wasn't hitting a person, I was acting in self-defense. As you all saw, this man tried to rush over and steal my gold, so of course I couldn't just stand by and do nothing," Qi Yefeng said matter-of-factly.
"That's not just your family's gold! Lin Jiaojiao is also our family's ancestor, so our family has a share of this gold too!" Lin Zi, ignoring the pain, pounded his chest and stamped his feet as he looked at the gold.
"Just now, your whole family said in front of the media that you didn't believe Miss Song Mian's words, and even asserted that you didn't know Lin Jiaojiao and that Lin Jiaojiao wasn't a member of your Lin family. Now that you've seen the gold, you've suddenly changed your tune. How can I possibly believe you?"
Qi Yefeng chuckled and said, "If I indulge you today, who knows how many Tom, Dick, and Harry will come to take advantage of my Qi family's benefits tomorrow."
"Song Mian! Song Mian!" Lin Zi's eyes reddened as she looked at Song Mian as if grasping at a lifeline. "You know the whole truth! Come here and prove it to us, prove that Lin Jiaojiao is a member of our Lin family!"
Song Mian blinked her big, innocent eyes: "The Qi family used gold to prove that Jiao Jiao did exist, and that I'm not a fraud. Now you want to prove you're also Jiao Jiao's descendant, so you should be the one to find out the evidence. What does it have to do with me?"
“Miss Song Mian helped our Qi family, and we are grateful for her help. That’s why we are willing to make the matter of the gold public to clear Master Song’s name. In fact, it’s fortunate that Miss Song found our Qi family. Otherwise, if she had found someone else to make offerings to Ancestor Lin, and that other people had found out about the existence of the gold, and then transferred it all away when our Qi family wasn’t paying attention, our family would have suffered a huge loss.”
Qi Yefeng's seemingly casual remark dealt a fatal blow to the Lin family.
The media seized the opportunity, shoving all their cameras and microphones at the Lin family.
"Mr. Lin, you just admitted that Lin Jiaojiao is indeed your ancestor. Does that prove that what Miss Song Mian said is also true? She actually came to your Lin family first, but you were unwilling to worship Lin Jiaojiao, so Miss Song had no choice but to come to the Qi family?"
“Mr. and Mrs. Lin have always worked for the Qi family and can freely enter and leave the Qi family every day. Have you ever thought that if you were to worship Lin Jiaojiao, you could quietly transfer the gold out of the Qi family?”
“I think so too. The Qi family didn’t know about the existence of this gold before. As long as you slowly moved the gold away, you would be the ones who became rich overnight.”
"How do you feel about the Lin family missing out on tens of millions of dollars worth of antique gold?"
Faced with all those long guns and short cannons, Lin Zi let out a regretful roar, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
The Lin family members frantically called an ambulance and dialed 120.
"Sir, Madam, we were wrong!" Sun Man cried as she turned around, her knees slamming to the ground as she wiped her tears at the Qi family. "We are distant relatives, after all. Now that my husband is in trouble, please don't fire us!"
Since things have come to this, she has no choice but to stay with the Qi family. Even if she doesn't get the gold, at least she can continue to work as a nanny in the Qi family and earn more than 10,000 yuan a month without doing any work!
“Our family used to be willing to help you, but now our family is not willing to help you anymore.” After Lu Sijie finished speaking, she said goodbye to the media and took Song Mian’s small hand as they returned to the villa.
Under the envious and insane gazes of everyone, Qi Shan and Qi Yefeng carried the gold back to the villa.
Upon returning to the villa, Qi Yefeng immediately contacted the police for assistance in escorting the gold. He then took the antique gold to a bank for temporary storage overnight.
Song Mian was kept on by the enthusiastic Qi Shan and Lu Sijie, and after having a late-night snack, she rested in her room for the night.
Song Mian finally woke up the next day, not until the sun was high in the sky.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the mother-of-pearl antique box that Lin Jiaojiao had given her the night before.
She opened the box and saw a kingfisher feather hairpin lying inside.
The silver hairpin is entirely silver-white, adorned with small birds and landscape decorations at the top, in red and blue, making it dazzling and a very rare antique.
Feeling that this hairpin should meet Old Master Su's requirements, Song Mian immediately left the Qi family and went to the pawnshop.
Once the shop was fully furnished, Song Mian entered and saw Grandpa Su leaning back in his chair, drinking tea from a small silver teapot.
"Grandpa Su, you're living too carefree a life, aren't you?"
Upon seeing Song Mian, Su Kun immediately stood up from his seat: "Young Master Song is here. Come, come, please have a seat."
Song Mian and Su Kun sat down together at the tea table in the shop.
Su Kun boiled water and made tea for Song Mian, saying with a smile, "Boss Song, you're quite the internet celebrity now. What brings you here today?"
"When did I become a big celebrity? How come I didn't know?" Song Mian asked with a surprised look.
"This morning, major media outlets reported that you helped the Qi family find tens of millions of dollars worth of gold. Now, the entire internet is flooded with news about you. If the Qi family hadn't been suppressing the news and protecting your privacy, you probably would have been doxxed by now." Su Kun said, showing Song Mian the news on his phone.
Song Mian read the news carefully, an expression of disbelief on her face.
These news reports are far too exaggerated. They actually called her a goddess and even described her as a medium from the underworld!
"I'm just an ordinary businesswoman. I'm not as capable as these media outlets claim," Song Mian said, taking a closer look. She noticed that the Qi family's public relations were indeed quite good; although there were many photos, none of them showed her face clearly.
Not wanting to be approached by strangers on the street because of this incident, Song Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“No one without ability could help the Qi family find tens of millions of dollars worth of gold in one go.” Seeing Song Mian’s wry smile, Su Kun changed the subject. “Mr. Song, did you bring me something good again today?”
