Song Mian really wanted to raise the price to 131,000 yuan.
However, she had already been tug-of-war with this woman for half a day, and she knew very well that she wouldn't be able to snatch the bracelet by just adding a little bit of effort.
So, Song Mian gritted her teeth and said, "150,000!"
150,000 yuan was all her savings. If she used it to buy this pearl bracelet, she would only have a few hundred yuan left.
She prayed that the price wouldn't go up further, but Song Mian was still disappointed.
"180,000!" the woman said through gritted teeth.
Song Mian's heart sank to the bottom, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Oh no, I still couldn't buy it in the end.
Is it really true that she can't fix this problematic transaction and is facing the risk of being disconnected from the system?
Just as Song Mian was at a loss, a voice suddenly rang out.
Two hundred and fifty thousand.
At this moment, Song Mian and the others present all looked towards the man who had spoken.
Unexpectedly, Song Mian bumped into a pair of familiar eyes. She never expected that Qi Yefeng would appear here!
Walking quickly towards Qi Yefeng, Song Mian couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile: "What are you doing here?"
"I just came to watch the fun, but I didn't expect to run into you here." Seeing that he had successfully bought the pearl bracelet, Qi Yefeng asked, "Is there anything else you want?"
Song Mian shook her head and left the auction hall with Qi Yefeng.
After going with Qi Yefeng to pay for and pick up the pearl bracelet, Song Mian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Qi Yefeng, could I give you 150,000 yuan to buy this bracelet first? I'll add a little more and give you an IOU for the rest. I'll pay you back in one lump sum after a while..."
"Of course not." Qi Yefeng didn't even give Song Mian a chance to finish speaking before directly rejecting her.
Song Mian immediately wilted like a frostbitten cabbage.
To Song Mian's surprise, Qi Yefeng reached out and directly handed the pearl bracelet to her.
Looking at Qi Yefeng with a bewildered expression, Song Mian heard Qi Yefeng's soft voice ringing in her ears.
"You've helped our family so much before, how could I accept your money? The hairpin last time was a thank-you gift from our ancestors, so let's consider this pearl bracelet as my thank-you gift to you," Qi Yefeng said casually.
This surprise came so suddenly that Song Mian was stunned for a moment before saying, "Thank you..."
"I should be thanking you." Qi Yefeng looked at Song Mian, without telling her the specific details.
Actually, their family's group was already on the verge of collapse.
The sudden break in the cash flow resulted in the entire group incurring debts of nearly 20 million yuan.
Fortunately, the antique gold sold for more than 30 million, which not only solved the immediate crisis but also left the Qi family with more reserve funds, successfully bringing the Qi family, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, back to life.
All of this was thanks to Song Mian.
Qi Yefeng didn't tell Song Mian all of this in detail: "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go, I'll take you to eat first, and we'll talk slowly."
Song Mian held the pearl bracelet with obvious delight, and now she did whatever Qi Yefeng said obediently, following him.
During lunch, Song Mian roughly told Qi Yefeng what had happened.
The existence of the system was naturally concealed. The details Song Mian told Qi Yefeng differed slightly from reality: "When I was a child, I could see some strange things by chance, but I never thought it would develop into being able to see ghosts. I always wanted to hide this ability of mine, but I never expected it would be discovered in the end."
"It's also our family's fault. We shouldn't have revealed your existence to the media back then," Qi Yefeng said guiltily.
Song Mian smiled and said, "Back then, the Lin family was very aggressive. Even if you hadn't revealed my existence at the beginning, they would have said I was a con artist and forced me to come out."
“We can’t let them continue to act so arrogantly. Don’t worry, now that I know about this, I won’t just stand by and do nothing. I’ll contact our company’s public relations department right away and directly deny that your sister is Master Song, exposing their scheme.”
"Really? Mr. Qi, you're such a kind person!" Song Mian's eyes lit up as she said with a smile.
"It's all I should do." Seeing that Song Mian finally had an appetite, Qi Yefeng said, "Mr. Song, have you considered moving the store?"
Song Mian tilted her head: "Are you worried that Song Jinyan and the others will harass me again?"
"Yes. Once the Qi family clarifies things, their true identities will be exposed, and they may even face cyberbullying from netizens. This would be a significant blow to them, and they might become enraged and seek revenge on you."
“That is indeed possible… However, that shop belongs to my grandmother. She has been hospitalized, so even if we were to move, we would wait until she is discharged.” Song Mian was not good at lying, and she lowered her head silently as she spoke.
The fact that her backyard led to the underworld was something she couldn't easily tell others, so she couldn't reveal the truth about why she couldn't move.
"In that case, please be careful. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime." Saying this, Qi Yefeng was already prepared to help Song Mian.
After returning home, Song Mian took a nap. When it got dark, she saw Zhao Shubin float out of the memorial tablet.
Seeing Zhao Shubin roll his eyes at her after putting on his reading glasses, Song Mian was too lazy to explain further and quickly replied to Qian Rui.
Unexpectedly, she saw a message from Qian Rui saying that she was currently outside the funeral clothing store.
Without a second thought for Zhao Shubin, Song Mian quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and then ran towards the store entrance.
As Song Mian opened the door, she was met with Qian Rui's smiling eyes.
Qian Rui greeted Song Mian warmly with a slight nod: "Good evening, Boss Song!"
"Miss Qian, what brings you to my shop at this hour?" Seeing Qian Rui's radiant face, Song Mian hesitated for a moment before swallowing the words "Something happened at home."
"The hairpin I took from you before sold for a good price today, and I thought I'd come and thank you, so I brought you a cake." Qian Rui said, handing the cake box she was carrying to Song Mian.
Song Mian was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Miss Qian!"
"Don't mention it... Achoo! Why is it suddenly so cold?" Qian Rui hugged her shoulders and looked around inexplicably, making sure that the chill swirling around her hadn't disappeared.
"What's wrong with you? Please don't harass my guests!" Song Mian saw Zhao Shubin float out of the funeral shop.
