The media listened quietly, gradually becoming captivated by Lin Jiaojiao's story.
Every time Song Mian heard Lin Jiaojiao's story, she would feel a pang of sadness.
"That happened three hundred years ago. There's no way to verify it now. Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?" At this moment, Lin Zi's voice suddenly rang out, disrupting the originally harmonious atmosphere.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zi.
"Mr. Lin, so you don't admit that everything the Qi family said is true?" The reporters present all thrust their microphones at Lin Zi.
Lin Zi had never seen such a scene before, and for a moment he felt a little scared.
Sun Man lowered her voice and whispered in Lin Zi's ear, "Honey, let's not get involved with that Lin Jiaojiao. Let's not immediately assume that Lin Jiaojiao is a wandering ghost. Otherwise, everyone will think that the Qi family worships wandering ghosts, and they won't be able to handle the public opinion. The group will also be affected by the public opinion!"
Lin Zixiang added, "Dad, anyway, the things that happened between Lin Jiaojiao and the Qi family happened three hundred years ago. As long as we don't admit that she's a ghost of the Lin family, no one can refute that what we're saying is false!"
Seeing that Qi Yefeng still refused to bow his head, Lin Zi felt a surge of intense dissatisfaction.
The Qi family is really stubborn. They could have just continued to support the Lin family, but they insisted on forcing them to deliver the final blow to the Qi family's group.
Thinking about the difficult life he would face in the future, Lin Zi could not tolerate the Qi family still living a life of luxury!
“That’s right, our Lin family can confirm that we have no ancestor named Lin Jiaojiao!” Lin Zi said loudly.
"So, the story the Qi family just told was completely fabricated. Qi Shan, our family warned you before that Song Mian was nothing serious, just a con artist, but you insisted on listening to her and worshipping a wandering ghost."
"I can tell you and Song Mian are birds of a feather. Could it be that your family has done this kind of thing before, which is why you're so good at it? People say that raising ghost children can bring wealth and glory. So that's how your family made your money!"
Lin Zi's words were sharp, and he kept blaming the Qi family as he spoke.
"If that's your logic, I clearly went to your Lin family first. If Lin Jiaojiao really is a ghost, then it was your family who stopped worshipping her first." At this moment, Song Mian, who had been silent, spoke up, "Weren't you Lin family very aggressive when you refused to worship Jiaojiao? Why are you regretting it now?"
"You charlatan, how dare you spout nonsense here! You were the one who started this whole thing from the beginning, pretending to be a ghost to swindle and cheat people! You were the one who started all this from the start!" Sun Man said, pointing at Song Mian.
Immediately, the media turned all their microphones and cameras toward Song Mian.
"Miss Song Mian, do ghosts really exist? Could you let us see a ghost too?"
“Ghosts in this world are not toys for the living, nor can they be seen at will with a casual attitude. I can only say that I am not lying, and the Qi family is not lying either. Finding the lost ancestor and worshipping him again is a perfectly reasonable thing to do,” Song Mian said.
"Then prove that Lin Jiaojiao is indeed the ancestor of the Qi family! Song Mian, you're just making things up without any evidence, no one will believe you!"
Listening to George Lam's arrogant shouts, Song Mian knew that this man was convinced that she couldn't prove it, which was why he was making things difficult for her in front of so many media outlets.
Moreover, what George Lam said was indeed true; she had no way to prove that Lin Jiaojiao actually existed.
The media seemed to notice Song Mian's embarrassment, and in an instant, everyone swarmed around her, shoving their microphones into her face.
"Ms. Song, can you prove what you're saying?"
"If you can't, then you really are a charlatan, just like the Lin family said!"
"Miss Song, may I have a few words with you?"
"The Qi family seemed to trust you completely, but you deceived them. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Unable to handle the frenzied reporters, Song Mian instinctively stepped back, stumbling slightly.
Fortunately, she soon stumbled into a warm embrace, and when she turned around, she met Lu Sijie's eyes, which were filled with tenderness.
"Song Mian, don't be afraid, Auntie won't let them bully you." Lu Sijie gently patted Song Mian's shoulder, and then continued, "This is a matter for the Qi family, so of course the Qi family should be the witness."
Sun Man was amused by Lu Sijie's words, her eyes filled with mockery: "You say you'll prove it? Heh heh, how will you prove it?"
“Our Qi family has always valued filial piety. After welcoming Patriarch Lin home this time, Patriarch Lin was overjoyed, so he asked Miss Song Mian to present us with a generous gift.” Lu Sijie said, turning to look at Qi Shan and Qi Yefeng.
The father and son worked together to move the heavy iron box out of the house.
With a loud bang, the metal box landed on the ground, and everyone present looked at it with a newfound curiosity.
"It's just a broken box, what's so special about it?" Lin Zi said dismissively.
Qi Yefeng smiled without saying a word, then directly lifted the lid of the iron box, revealing the glittering gold inside.
At that moment, everyone in the audience was stunned.
"This is the gold that Ancestor Lin hid in our Qi family's back garden three hundred years ago. For so many years, our Qi family has never discovered this gold. If it weren't for Master Song Mian returning Ancestor Lin's memorial tablet, we wouldn't have received our ancestor's blessing. I ask you all, if Master Song Mian is really a fraud, and Ancestor Lin is just a wandering ghost, would our Qi family have received so much gold for nothing?"
Qi Yefeng's words caused an uproar among the reporters present.
They all pointed their cameras at the gold and started discussing it enthusiastically.
"So much gold, and it's all antiques? My God! Forget whether Lin Jiaojiao is actually the ancestor of the Qi family, even if she's a wandering ghost, I'd be willing to worship her if she gave me this much gold!"
"Sigh! I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems the Qi family was right!"
"So ghosts really exist in this world?"
"What does it matter if there are ghosts or not? Even if today's story is all fake, the fact that the Qi family obtained the gold is true!"
Song Mian nodded in agreement after hearing what one of the reporters said.
In fact, these reporters may not believe what they just said.
However, once this antique gold worth tens of millions appeared, all the ghosts and spirits became irrelevant.
The important thing is that the gold is real. So whatever the Qi family says after they get the gold will be seen as the truth by outsiders!
"This is impossible!!" Lin Zi's expression turned to one of utter disbelief when he saw the gold. "Did Lin Jiaojiao tell you this? This is impossible! She's just a promiscuous slut who eloped with someone. Where would she get so much gold?!"
"Hmph, you're the slut, your whole family are sluts. How much gold I have is none of your business, anyway, I won't give you my gold!" Lin Jiaojiao floated to Song Mian's side.
Song Mian's eyes darted around slightly: "Mr. Lin, didn't you just say that Jiao Jiao was a wandering ghost? How come you're now admitting that the story the Qi family told you is true?"
