Liu Meiying had never expected that the usually obedient Song Tingwan would actually threaten her with calling the police. She couldn't believe it. "I raised you, and you treat me like this? All my kindness over the past twenty years has gone to waste!"
Song Tingwan snorted coldly, "Ms. Liu, don't use those things to hold me hostage. When you're old, I'll still have the same obligations to fulfill. As for that old man, if you want to marry him, marry him yourself. Don't come to me again."
Not wanting to waste time arguing with her, Song Tingwan placed her finger directly on the green dial button and said, "If you don't leave now, I'll really call the police."
"you!"
Liu Meiying seemed to be extremely angry at her attitude. She took two steps towards Song Tingwan and raised her hand, almost aiming it at her face, but then stopped herself. She then picked up her Hermès and stormed off.
Looking at Liu Meiying's departing back, Song Tingwan's heart still ached slightly.
Although she had already seen through the Song family's attitude, after all, they had been living together day and night for more than 20 years.
Her brain knew what she should do, but she couldn't control her instinctive physiological reactions.
"Sister, this lady..."
Song Tingwan glanced at Fang Shijie and said, "Just say what you want to say."
Fang Shijie walked closer and said hesitantly, "This isn't the first time I've seen her. She's been hanging around the store entrance every day these past few days, but she hasn't come in. I thought she was a customer who was hesitant about whether to come in."
Hearing this, Song Tingwan pinched her palms until she felt a tingling sensation. Then she turned to look at Fang Shijie and said with a smile, "Xiao Fang, next time you see her, ignore her. Send me a message and I'll handle it. If she tries to enter the store, call the police."
Fang Shijie was stunned and said, "Sister, are you really calling the police?"
"Of course..." Song Tingwan put a hand on his shoulder and patted him, forcing a smile, "No. Just scare her and scare her away. Scare her a few more times and she won't dare to come anymore."
Fang Shijie gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! Simple and crude."
Soon, a tall blond man walked in.
Song Ting received him warmly in the evening, "Andy? Hello, my last name is Song."
She had never seen it, but...
Who made his features so obvious?
Blonde hair and heterochromia.
"Hey! Hello. Am I not late?" Andy reached out and shook hands with Song Tingwan.
"Wow, your Chinese is so fluent. The timing is just right." Song Tingwan praised sincerely.
"Thanks."
Song Tingwan led everyone to the prepared table and asked Fang Shijie to pour a glass of water.
As Andy approached the table, he covered his face with his hands and exclaimed, "Oh my God! You know... Miss Song, your shop is truly a treasure trove! These inks look so high-end at first glance! They're exactly what I want!"
Song Tingwan raised his eyebrows confidently, "We at 'Ink Fragrance' will certainly not let Mr. Andy down."
"I heard that Mr. Andy wants to pick out some Five-sided ink as a gift. Is it convenient to ask if it's for an elder?"
Andy took a sip of water to calm his excitement, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "Of course it's convenient. One of them is my best friend, and the other four are elders."
Andy rubbed his hands. "Rather, the other four are from the same generation as my father's father, which means they are my grandfather."
Song Tingwan nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment's thought, he pointed to one of the inkstones on the table. "This one is smaller, and the gilded pattern on it is more delicate. It looks energetic and suitable for young people, unlike other inkstones that give off a calm and elegant feeling."
Song Tingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Andy, asking for his opinion. "It would be more suitable for young people, what do you think?"
"Ms. Song, you have a very unique vision. I admire you very much." Andy smiled heartily. "I like all of this Nine-sided Ink. I really can't choose. I plan to buy them all."
Nine-sided ink?
Buy all?
Song Tingwan couldn't believe her ears and asked tentatively, "Mr. Andy, are you sure?"
Andy pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.
Seeing this, Song Tingwan's tense heart relaxed slightly.
Yes, she was a little hesitant to sell it because of how much money it would cost to buy them all.
After all, when she went to Grandpa Li to get the ink sticks appraised yesterday, Grandpa Li specifically reminded her to be careful because there would be those professional scammers who would come to buy these things and then report them, saying that they bought fakes and ask her to pay compensation. By then, her store would not be able to continue operating.
She had to be careful.
Andy's wealth and power really made her feel a little nervous.
Song Tingwan was about to speak when she saw Andy draw a circle above the table. "Miss Song, I mean, I want everything on this table."
At this point, Song Tingwan and Fang Shijie both widened their eyes, "Are you... serious?"
Andy's face was filled with confidence, his heterochromatic eyes sparkling with excitement. "The items on this table give me a strong sense of books, something I can't experience in my mother's country. My mother's father also loves books and culture, so I think he will love it!"
"Oh, right." Andy pointed to the solid wooden pen stand on the table with several wolf-hair brushes hanging on it. "Miss Song, can I take this stand with me? It looks very...useful."
Song Tingwan: “…”
She felt that she could no longer understand Chinese.
Finally, after much deliberation, Song Tingwan decided to let Fang Shijie entertain Andy first and introduce to him the characteristics and value of each ink.
Fortunately, she had told Fang Shijie in the morning that these ink sticks had a history of two thousand years, and taught him everything Xiao Yunze had told her.
Seeing that Andy was chatting happily with Fang Shijie, Song Tingwan said that she was going out to make a phone call, then walked outside and dialed Li Jinxiang's number.
The communication with Li Jinxiang went smoothly, and Song Tingwan told him in detail what he knew about Andy.
Of course, there was nothing she couldn't say, after all, she didn't know his privacy.
Finally, Song Tingwan decided: sell!
In the words of Li Jinxiang:
Those who come to cause trouble all have obvious characteristics, and they are definitely not as ostentatious as Andy, who drives a sports car worth tens of millions, and whose suits, watches, and even ties are all very valuable. The words "Come and rob me" are written all over his body.
Those people are usually very low-key and don't want their appearance to be remembered so that they can continue to cheat the next person.
After hanging up the phone, Song Tingwan walked into the store and said that he had already talked to the teacher and all of these could be sold.
Andy was instantly overjoyed, staring at Song Tingwan with burning eyes, "Really?"
Song Tingwan smiled, "Of course."
"However, apart from the ink, everything else on this table, such as the inkstone, rice paper, and wolf hair brushes, can be considered our gifts of 'Ink Fragrance'." Song Tingwan was wearing a formal suit today, looking confident and capable. He smiled and extended his right hand to Andy.
At this moment, Andy's joy seemed to overflow. He shook Song Tingwan's hand and said, "Oh my gosh! Really?"
