Chapter 81: Does this pig dare to provoke Miss's dignity?
In front of them was a steep cliff, straight up, neat as if cut out with a knife. On the cliff above, countless green eyes were staring at them, and it was precisely because of the color of these eyes that Cheng Zihang felt a chill run down his spine.
Eyes seem to be growing on the stone wall, countless eyes gathered together give people a creepy feeling.
Cheng Zihan tried hard to make that scalp-tingling feeling lighter, but still felt a lingering unease in her heart.
She turned her head and took a glance at Han Yi, seeing that his expression was no better than hers.
Whoever sees this scene will probably feel uncomfortable.
The sky silkworm had long since shrunk behind Cheng Zihan's body.
The stone wall in front of them suddenly rumbled, and some rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain, many of which fell around Cheng Zihang and his group, forming a circle that surrounded them.
Cheng Zihan carefully moved a little, but found that at the moment she moved, all eyes blinked simultaneously, and she felt her head buzzing, almost losing control.
Fortunately, she had been trained in willpower by Han Jincheng before, so she was not controlled all at once.
But Han Yi was not so lucky.
When those eyes on the stone wall blinked, his own eyes instantly became hollow.
After all, he was physically weak and couldn't even practice martial arts, so naturally he wouldn't have any self-defense skills. His willpower wasn't weak, but compared to Cheng Ziheng, it was far inferior.
Because he had a heart condition and couldn't withstand any shocks or scares, he was overprotected from a young age. The kind of training that tempers one's will is often conducted in extreme fear, which wasn't suitable for Han Yi.
Cheng Zihan took one look at Han Yi's condition and secretly cursed her luck. She hastily reached out to grab hold of Han Yi, while simultaneously activating the Demon Pupil. The Demon Pupil could penetrate through stone walls to clearly see what kind of monster was hiding inside, and it could also temporarily rescue Han Yi from his soulless state.
Once Han Yi's soul is captured, it will be a big trouble indeed.
Cheng Zihan reacted quickly, although it felt like a very long time, everything happened in the blink of an eye, just ten seconds, and all things had already happened.
Han Yi was panting heavily, his forehead beading with cold sweat, clearly having just gone through something that Cheng Zi Han didn't know about.
But now is not the time to ask questions, Cheng Zihan took a step forward and blocked Han Yi's way. Tian Can said that there was something here that even he was afraid of, probably what was behind the stone wall. But since there was such a powerful guardian, what was behind the stone wall must be extraordinary.
The demonic pupils on his forehead emitted a crimson glow, shining one by one on the green eyes on the stone wall.
A pair of eyes that were originally open at this time all closed, the entire stone wall restored its smoothness and flatness, and there was no longer the terrifying and frightening eyes from just now.
Cheng Zihan let out a sigh of relief. Using the demon eyes was more physically exhausting than she had imagined, and her current body was still relatively weak. No matter how much she practiced or strengthened herself, it was always limited by the fact that she was an eight-year-old child's body, which couldn't be made strong no matter what.
A pair of eyes disappeared, but between the stone walls, a dark passage slowly opened up.
Cheng Zihan glanced at Han Yi, saw his pale face and the cold sweat still on his forehead, and felt a bit worried: "Han Yi, are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable? Do you need to go back and rest first?"
Han Yi shook his head and also glanced at the dark passageway in front of him: "Zihan, are we going to go in and take a look?"
He always felt a little flustered, as if there was something inside that could devour people in general. He himself wasn't afraid of getting hurt, but he was worried that Cheng Zihuan might suffer some loss.
Cheng Zihan hesitated and looked at the passageway in front of her, shaking her head. "Don't go in for now, your current situation isn't good, I'm worried. If something happens, we won't be able to take care of you. I think Dad and the others probably heard the commotion too, they'll likely arrive soon. Let's wait here for them. When my dad arrives, you can follow him back home to wait for news, and I'll go in with Uncle Han."
Han Jingchen was only twenty-eight years old after all, and Cheng Zihan really couldn't bring herself to call him "uncle", so she could only call him "Uncle".
Han Yi furrowed his brow, clearly dissatisfied with Cheng Zihans arrangement.
Cheng Zihan naturally understood his concerns and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't be in trouble, and if you follow me in, I'll have to divide my attention to take care of your situation, which might make things even more dangerous. Even if you don't believe me, at least trust that demon from your family."
Han Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
Cheng Zihan supported Han Yi and sat outside waiting for Cheng Hai and the others to arrive.
Half an hour later, Cheng Hai and Han Jincheng Qin Ke arrived as promised.
They have dug up all the meat lingzhi in front, and each person is carrying a bulging backpack. Of course, besides the meat lingzhi, they also found other good things.
Cheng Zihan stood up and briefly told Cheng Hai about the current situation, then pointed to Han Yi: "Han Yi is injured now, you take him back first, I'll go in with Ke Xiu and Uncle Han to see what's going on."
Qin Kexiu is a soul, no matter what happens, don't worry too much, because everything can be slowly recovered.
Han Jingchen's skills are naturally no longer a concern.
It was Cheng Hai, after all, he was just an ordinary person. Cheng Zihan worried that he would be harmed if he went in, so she repeatedly warned him.
Cheng Hai knew about Cheng Zihan's concerns in her heart, although he was also worried about Cheng Zihan's situation and wanted to follow her to take a look, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Han Yi was clearly unwilling to leave, but Han Jingchen gave him a cold look and said only one sentence, which made him obediently follow Cheng Hai away.
Cheng Zihan thought of Han Jinchen's threatening words and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
"What did you just say?" Only after Han Yi and Cheng Hai left did Cheng Zihan start to interrogate.
Han Jinchen raised his head and looked around, pretending to be stupid and confused, but he didn't answer Cheng Zihan's question.
Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely before striding towards the dark passageway.
At this time, the night pearl that was stolen back earlier came in handy, but unfortunately, Cheng Zihan only stole one, and now thinking about it makes me regretful.
The surroundings were smooth and flat walls, the further forward you walked, the more there was a gloomy feeling, Cheng Zihang even felt that countless eyes around the walls were staring at him.
It's a good thing there's Han Jingchen, this strong and powerful person next door accompanying her, or else she would be even more scared.
It was very quiet around, and all I could hear were their footsteps, which echoed to the end and then bounced back.
Cheng Zihan walked along and listened to her own footsteps, suddenly feeling that something was off.
There are only three people here, but why does it sound like there are four pairs of footsteps?
Listen to the echo, beside them, there is obviously another person.
Cheng Zihan was shocked and quickly turned her head to look behind, behind her was Han Jincheng, and further back was Qin Kexiu, there were no other people at all.
Because Cheng Zihan stopped, Han Jincheng and Qin Kexiu also stopped one after another, looking at Cheng Zihan with confusion.
Those footsteps continued to move forward, kick-kick, each sound exceptionally clear.
This time it wasn't just Cheng Zihan who heard it, Han Jincheng and Qin Kexiu also heard it.
The two people looked at each other, their faces both somewhat solemn.
Cheng Zihan perked up her ears and listened carefully to the direction of the footsteps. The location seemed to be above her own position, while the sound was coming from...
Cheng Zihan suddenly took a step to the left and punched the wall beside him with great force.
"Hmm." A strange voice suddenly rang out, followed by a flurry of hasty footsteps, as if the other person was hastily fleeing.
Cheng Zihan sneered, thinking of running away? Isn't it a bit too late now?
She took big strides forward and soon caught up with the other person's footsteps. With another kick, this time she clearly felt that she had kicked something soft.
"Ahh!" A mournful cry echoed out, a gust of fishy-smelling wind brushed against Cheng Zihans face, Cheng Zihan's body leaned back, dodging the opponent's attack, and with all his might, he smashed the night pearl in his hand towards that dark location.
A strange noise came out, followed by a series of footsteps that gradually faded away.
Gone?
Cheng Zihan let out a sigh of relief.
The night pearl is gone, and the surroundings have returned to pitch black again. Now it's really troublesome.
At this time, Han Jincheng and Qin Kexiu had already arrived behind Cheng Zihan, both of them vigilantly looking around.
Surroundings were pitch black, but three people were highly sensitive creatures. Even if they couldn't see anything, their reactions weren't half a beat slow.
Three people stood back-to-back, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on their surroundings, vigilant for any sudden situation.
But it was really too dark around them, and they couldn't see anything even if they stared with their eyes wide open.
"It's too dark here, this won't do, we're being too passive, it's very unfavorable for us." The surrounding darkness seemed to be getting thicker and the air inside appeared to be gradually thinning out, Cheng Zihan felt like she was having trouble breathing.
She frowned and then said to the two people beside her.
Han Jingchen also had this feeling, as if someone was pinching his throat, and he couldn't breathe. But after all, he had more experience than Cheng Zihang, so he didn't have a big reaction to such a situation.
Qin Kexiu is not human and does not need to breathe, so he is naturally the one with the least impact.
"No! We're missing someone, where's Tiancan?" Just now all the way in, Cheng Zihuan hadn't noticed Tiancan's situation, and only now suddenly remembered that Tiancan was lost!
After they entered this channel, he was lost!
Han Jingchen and Qin Kexiu also reacted at the same time.
If Cheng Zihan didn't say anything, they really wouldn't have noticed where Tian Can had gone!
That little fatty, just now seemed to be following in their front, or walking in their front and coming in?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The silkworm is gone, is it playing or for other reasons?
"Zi Han, don't worry, he should be around here somewhere. Let's move forward and take a look at the situation ahead, we won't lose him." Qin Ke Xiu reacted quickly, afraid that Cheng Zi Han would panic and lose his footing, so he hurried to comfort him.
Cheng Zihan wasn't worried that the little fatty would be in any life-threatening danger, this place was full of weirdness everywhere, so it's better to be careful.
Suddenly a hurried footsteps came from the front, Cheng Zihang touched out the dagger at his waist and was ready to give him a knife as soon as he came over.
"Zi Han sister, Zi Han sister, it's me! You guys run away quickly, along the road you came from!" Before even waiting for Cheng Zi Han to react, a urgent voice had already transmitted over.
Cheng Zihan was stunned for a moment, and Han Jincheng had already picked her up and ran out in big strides, with Qin Kexiu following closely behind.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and it seemed that one or two muffled roars could still be heard.
Han Jingchen walked quickly and soon exited the passageway. When he saw the sunlight again, Cheng Zihan felt as if it had been an eternity.
Han Jingchen put down Cheng Zihan and stood in front of the stone wall, looking at the slowly closing stone wall.
"The silkworm is still inside." Cheng Zihan finally showed some concern.
"He won't be in trouble." Han Jinchen said coldly.
Cheng Zihan sighed and glanced at Han Jincheng, seeing that his eyes were fixed on the front, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing Cheng Zihan look at him, he lowered his head and looked at Cheng Zihan for a moment. "I smelled the scent of the Shen family here. This stone wall should have some connection with them."
It's the Shen family again.
Cheng Zihan was really full of curiosity about this Shen family.
In theory, the Shen family is not among the ten hidden world families, nor are they one of the four major families in the capital, but this family seems even more mysterious.
"Uncle Han, what is the Shen family's status after all?" Cheng Zihan couldn't help but gossip about this Shen family, or a certain woman from the Shen family and her relationship with Han Jingchen. It would probably take three days and nights of non-stop gossiping to get to the bottom of it.
Han Yingchen smiled wryly and stared straight at the stone wall in front of him, saying nothing.
Cheng Zihan stuck out her tongue and stopped asking questions.
What needs to be said will eventually be said, and if Han Jingchen doesn't say it, she can just go ask Han Yi.
"Wow." Just as the stone wall was about to close, a round thing was thrown out and rolled on the ground for several laps before stopping.
Cheng Zihan looked at the meatball and his mouth twitched involuntarily, then he reached out to grab his ear and pulled him up, "You little brat, where did you run off to by yourself? Don't you know we'd worry about you?"
Tian Can yelled in pain, wanting to rescue his poor ears from Cheng Bawang's hands, "Zi Han sister, Zi Han sister, please be gentle."
Cheng Zihan ignored him and continued to pull his ear, "Say, where did you go?"
"Hehe, I'm going to go steal something."
"Stealing things?" Cheng Zihan frowned and gave Tian Can a sideways glance.
"En en." Tian Can nodded repeatedly, but his ears also started to ache, this Cheng Zi Han was really not polite at all.
Afraid that Cheng Zihuan would really get angry and wouldn't let him suck her blood again, Tian Can hastily pulled out something from his bosom.
Cheng Zihan loosened the Heavenly Silkworm and took over the thing he handed out.
Entirely crimson, it is a palm-sized crimson-colored stone, but looking at it, it seems more like a piece of blood jade.
Cheng Zihan looked around and couldn't figure out what it was, so she threw it to Qin Kexiu and Han Jincheng to study.
Tian Can looked at Cheng Zihan's majestic appearance and almost got a heart attack.
"Zi Han sister, don't throw it around randomly, this thing is very precious!" Tian Can's face was painful.
Fortunately, Han Jinchen caught it with one hand.
He looked around and didn't see anything, so he directly handed it over to Qin Kexiu.
Qin Ke Xiu took it over and estimated that he couldn't see anything either, so he threw it back to Cheng Zi Han.
The silkworms are jumping their feet off.
Do these people know how precious this thing is? Just playing around like that.
Cheng Zihan picked it up and took another two glances before casually tossing it into her storage ring.
"Zi Han sister, do you know what you just lost?" asked Tian Can with a bitter face.
Cheng Zihan shook his head honestly and had already pulled Tian Can and Han Jinchen with him to walk back and forth.
"That's not a Blood Jade, it's the essence of blood extracted from the body of a Blood Dragon. Such a small piece can only be shed from a Blood Dragon that is over a thousand years old, and even then, the chances are extremely low. Each piece is worth a city." The Heavenly Silkworm gazed at Cheng Ziheng with a slanted eye, as if rebuking him, "You guys were just carelessly throwing it around, if you had damaged it, it would have been heartbreaking."
"What's the use of Blood Essence? " Cheng Zihan didn't have any sense of guilt, but rather felt a little curious.
"It's useless." Tian Can waved his hand.
"It's useless, even more precious than a fart." Cheng Zihan gave him a white eye and casually raised her hand to knock on his head.
The swallow ate painfully and covered its head and ran away.
Cheng Zihan didn't care about him either, as long as this dead kid could find his way back home.
After all these things, Cheng Zihan and the others didn't plan to continue searching for treasure either. They had already searched every nook and cranny of this mountain, and there was nothing good left.
When they returned to the villa, Cheng Hai and the others had been back for a long time.
As soon as Cheng Zihan returned, they all got up, and Cheng Hai was worried, looking her up and down to make sure she wasn't hurt before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're back, just now Silver Swallow sent someone over." Cheng Hai let out a sigh of relief before bringing up the main topic.
Cheng Zihan hummed and ignored him.
The Silver Swallow sent someone over, naturally it was to take the Flesh of the Lingzhi.
She had previously said that someone would be arranged to come over, but Cheng Zihan and others didn't wait for the person to arrive before they left.
Yingyan was probably anxious too.
"What did she want from you?" Han Yi was sitting properly on the sofa, sipping tea, and looked up at Cheng Zihang with a curious expression.
Cheng Zihan sat back, thought for a moment, and then said: "I asked her to help me auction off a few pieces of flesh Lingzhi. There's too much of that stuff, selling some can make some money."
Han Yicheng smiled doting and reached out to rub Cheng Zihans head.
Cheng Zihan always felt that this action was like comforting the pet dog at home, but somehow everyone who saw her used this action, making her a bit helpless.
Cheng Zihan also wanted to rub Han Yi's head, but Han Yi was taller than her. Even sitting on the sofa, Cheng Zihan raised her hand and still couldn't reach the top of his head, so she could only give up in frustration.
"Better to sell it off, but don't sell too much at once, or it might raise suspicions. There are more people attending the auction this time than you think, and they're not just anyone." Han Yi reminded him.
Cheng Zihan nodded. Han Jincheng told her that this time, people from the four major families in the capital had all arrived. He didn't know who the person from the Han family was, but he guessed that whoever came wouldn't be simple.
Cheng Zihan couldn't understand why this auction had attracted so many old guys when there was nothing valuable up for grabs.
Is there anything else they came for?
The most precious item in this auction is the lotus seedpod orchid, which has been appraised as the best quality and is also wild, having already bloomed, so experts can tell its authenticity at a glance.
Lianban orchid is the most precious and valuable among all orchids, especially wild ones are extremely rare. Nowadays, most of them are artificially propagated, but can such a precious orchid be easily cultivated?
So many people have tried and failed to cultivate lotus seeds after trying.
This time, it's a top-grade lotus seed pod orchid, and it's wild, so its preciousness is naturally predictable, attracting bad flower enthusiasts to come.
At this age, those who can afford to indulge in such luxuries are not simple people. The ones who came this time are quite impressive, and Cheng Zihan knew it even without looking.
However, the arrival of the Hidden World Family and the Four Great Families of the Imperial City did surprise her.
"Heyi, do you know who the person is that came with your family this time? And what did he come for?" Cheng Zihan couldn't help but ask while looking at Heyi.
Han Yi shook his head, "I don't know either, I didn't receive any notice. If it wasn't for seeing the people from the Han family arrive, I wouldn't have known."
Han Jingchen smiled: "I know who it is."
"Who?" Cheng Zihan and Han Yi almost asked in unison.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled again, their understanding was perfect.
"My father is your great-grandfather." Han Jinchen still smiled, but that smile was somewhat cold.
Cheng Zihan suddenly realized that Han Jincheng's relationship with the head of the Han family was not as good as she thought.
"Great grandfather?" Han Yi also furrowed his brow, his expression not looking good.
"What's wrong, Han Yi?" Han Jincheng didn't get along with the old master of the Han family. Did Han Yi not get along with the old master either? Cheng Zihuan looked at their expressions, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect him to come." Hehe. Han Yi also smiled, a very cold smile, as if the person who came was not the master of their Han family, but his archenemy.
Cheng Zihan was confused by the reactions of these two people, looking at one and then the other, and somehow felt that Han Yi's smile was similar to Han Jingchen's. They looked more like a family.
Helpless shaking her head, Cheng Zihan simply ignored them and went to rest on her own.
I've just been struggling for a while, and I'm exhausted.
In the afternoon, Yin Yan's people came again, this time with one more person, a 15 or 16-year-old boy who looked somewhat similar to Yin Yan, but was even more arrogant and disdainful.
As soon as he entered, he sat down on the sofa without any courtesy and said, "Call out those who can speak."
Cheng Zihan just got up and looked down from upstairs. Hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Can speak? Besides dumb people who can't speak here?
Xiao Zhengtai heard the snickering and looked up to see Cheng Zihan on the floor above. At first, he was taken aback, but then his face turned arrogant. "You little girl, do you know who I am? How dare you be rude to me!"
Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and gazed coldly at the little boy in front of her, whose appearance was not bad, but the arrogance between his eyebrows was too heavy, making her uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him.
These second-generation rich kids are like this, thinking that their noble identity makes them invincible, it's simply unreasonable.
"Huh? Who are you?" Cheng Zihan now wants to throw this guy in front of him out directly.
Put on a show in front of her? Play big cards? Don't you know who she is? That sentence just now should be said by her, shouldn't it?
While they were talking, Cheng Zihan had already come down from upstairs.
Cheng Hai and the others were also startled awake by the commotion, one by one they came out of their rooms.
Han Jingchen looked at the little boy with a cold face, silently leaning against the door and watching the show with his arms around him.
Cheng Zihan walked up to Xiao Zhengtai and sat down, still lifting his legs in a similar manner.
Qin Kesou raised an eyebrow and stood beside Han Yi, saying in a low voice: "Recently Zi Han is bored, today he came to find fault."
Han Yi also smiled, with a hint of indulgence in his smile.
"I am the eldest grandson of the Song family! Song Yin-yi, the future successor of the Song family! This auction house is under my family's name, who are you? How dare you be rude to me!" Song Yin-yi proudly announced his own great name.
Cheng Zihan looked at him with a face full of disdain. If the Song family really handed over their business to this idiot, they would probably be able to go extinct soon.
"Hmph, Cheng Zihan gave Song Yinyi a sideways glance. 'The young master of the Song family? You don't know who I am? Then what are you doing here? Looking for a scolding? Looking to feel uncomfortable?"
Cheng Zihan's tone was extremely cold, and everyone who knew her understood that this was a manifestation of her bad mood.
Song Yinyi had no idea that he had already angered the little beauty in front of him, and he was still proudly raising his chin, pointing his chin at Cheng Zihuan, "I came to take things away. You people who can speak, call them out. They said they wanted us to entrust them with selling Rou Lingzhi, I'm here to take the things away now."
Song Yin Yi's words were indeed reasonable and justified, but he didn't notice that Cheng Zi Han's face changed after hearing his words.
"Get out. We've changed our minds and we're not selling." Cheng Zihan gave the order to drive the customer away, standing up directly.
"Don't go!" The other person suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Cheng Zihan's hand, pulling her back and not letting her leave.
Han Jincheng furrowed his brow, coldly staring at the hand. Han Yi's face also changed slightly, and his gaze naturally fell on the hand as well. Qin Kexiu's face was even more pleasant to look at, it could be described as brilliant. The only one who didn't react was Cheng Hai. However, people who knew Cheng Hai were aware that the angrier he got, the calmer he appeared.
Cheng Zihan turned around, coldly staring at the hand that was pulling her own, pale and slender fingers, with distinct joints, not bad, but this hand seemed to have no right to touch hers.
Cheng Zihan forcefully pulled back his hand, turned around and stood in front of Song Yin Yi, opening his mouth with a cold yet clear tone, "Song Yin Yi, right? Let me tell you, there are no mute people here, everyone can speak! And now, let me tell you some unfortunate news, I am the one who said they wanted to sell the Lingzhi mushroom. But now, you've made me very unhappy, so I'm not willing to take it out and sell it. How about this? Even if I were to take it back home and soak it in water to feed the pigs, chickens, or dogs, I still wouldn't sell! Get out of here!"
Song Yin Yi originally still wanted to get angry, but after hearing Cheng Zi Han's words, he was stunned on the spot.
After being stunned for three seconds, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha, haha, I'm dying of laughter. Little girl, you're telling lies, how old are you? Do you have the right to speak? Hurry up and let your parents come out, I won't bother with a little brat like you anymore. As long as you apologize and bark like a dog a few times, I'll let it go."
Song Yinyi raised his chin, with a condescending look on his face, which made Cheng Zihuan want to rush over and beat him up.
But after all, this is the Song family's territory, and Cheng Zihan didn't want to provoke any trouble. Fighting someone was not something that could be done openly, of course. A grudge had to be avenged, a person had to be beaten, it just depended on the method used.
Cheng Zihan looked at Song Yinyi with a cold smile, that smile was eerie, looking at Song Yinyi only made her feel uneasy.
"What are you looking at? Quickly get down and learn from the dog how to bark, otherwise, humph, I'll see how you can leave this mountain!" Song Yin's heart was a bit panicked, but thinking that this was his own territory, no matter how capable Cheng Ziheng was, he couldn't do anything to him, so he mustered up the courage to shout back.
Cheng Zihan looked at the fool and took a glance at him, then turned around and said to the people watching behind: "This guy is really annoying, I don't want to see him again, throw him out for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, two figures moved immediately, and with a bang, Song Yin was thrown out of the door very neatly, and then the door was closed again. The action took place within just ten seconds.
The two people who were acting in unison exchanged a smile, and with a tacit understanding, they patted each other on the back before returning to stand on either side of Cheng Zihan, forming a very coordinated lineup.
Cheng Zihan looked at them strangely, "What are you doing?"
"That Song Yin Ye will come again." Han Jin Chen said straightforwardly.
Cheng Zihan hummed, "I know, he likes to come and go as he pleases, coming once and losing once. The Song family won't let him be so arrogant, I'm waiting for someone to come and apologize to me, maybe I can even take advantage of them. The Song family is also a big shot, they have more money than me."
Cheng Zihan said with a sigh on her face.
Han Jingchen's mouth twitched slightly as he silently glanced at Cheng Zihang, and his heart began to mourn for the people of the Song family.
Qin Kexiu directly lifted his head and gazed at the sky, pretending he hadn't heard anything just now.
Song Yin Yi went back and exaggeratedly told Song's family members about Cheng Zi Han's misdeeds, pretending to be pitiful with tears in his eyes, waiting for everyone to take him to reason with her.
Song Yiqing, the master of the Song family, was also present. After hearing Song Yin's words, his face changed, "Nonsense! They are all guests, and those who live in the villa area are all big customers of our Song family auction house! The origin is not simple, you offend the guests like this, do you still want us to find a scene for you? Are you out of your mind?"
Song Yiqing was actually furious in his heart, Song Yin Yi was young and vigorous, coupled with being born into a good family since childhood, and being spoiled by the people at home, had long been lawless. Where did he know that there were people outside of this principle?
This child has been spoiled because he hasn't received enough discipline through eating.
He glared fiercely at several people present, including Song Tianqi, the father of Song Yin Yi, and several other uncles.
"It's all because of you that he's been spoiled! Go and apologize to the guest right now! If they don't forgive you, then get out of my sight!" Song Yiqing glared at everyone before turning back to scold Song Yin Ye hatefully.
Song Yinyi pouted and turned her head away, ignoring Song Yiqing's words, clearly having no intention of following them.
"Look at the good son you've taught!" Song Yiqing cursed in anger.
Song Tianqi nodded repeatedly, and in the past, he was facing Song Yin's forehead with a heavy blow. "You idiot, how many times have I told you? Don't cause trouble when you go out! Are your ears filled with air?"
Song Yin Yi wanted to refute, but seeing Song Yi Qing's unpleasant face, he could only bite his lip and lower his head without speaking.
Song Tianqi pulled Song Yin out and walked far away before glaring at him, "Didn't I tell you on the way here not to cause trouble? Look at your cousin now, dominating this auction house with an iron fist, handling business in an orderly manner. The old man praises her every day. Can't you just be content? If you lose your position as heir and it's given to that little girl Xianyan instead, it'll serve you right!"
Song Yin-yi's face fell, "Since ancient times, it has always been men who take charge of the household! Where is the logic in letting women be in charge? I won't let that little slut Silver Swallow get away with this for long! I will definitely make her pay for this!"
"Look at the good deed you've done! You've offended all the guests! How dare you, go and apologize now!" Song Tianqi slapped Song Yin's head with a loud crack, scolding.
Song Yin Yi hugged his head and jumped back a few steps, shaking his head resolutely: "No way, even if you beat me to death I won't go! Dad, didn't you see how arrogant that girl is? She doesn't take our Song family seriously at all, I'm not going."
"You idiot! Do you want to infuriate your grandfather so much that he cancels your inheritance? If the guest doesn't forgive you, don't come back and see me!" Song Tianqi also wanted to protect Song Yin, but he knew the situation didn't allow him to be biased towards Song Yin.
If Song Yiqing hadn't gotten angry, it wouldn't have been a problem, but now that Song Yiqing has spoken out, he can only steel himself and come at him with all his might.
Song Yiqing had eleven sons, Song Tianqi was the eldest and also born to his first wife, so from a young age he was already half the master of the house. He would never eat such a dumb loss, like father like son, so the Song YinYi he raised also had the same moral character as him. Looking down on others was something he learned very thoroughly, naturally, things like pretending to obey while secretly disobeying wouldn't be rare either.
Song Yiqing could also see these things, but unfortunately, there were only a few people in the Song family who could be brought out to meet others, so he had no choice but to indulge him.
But in recent two years, Yin Yan's ability has stood out and his performance has been very satisfactory. He has gradually had the idea of passing on the position of the master to Yin Yan.
Although Yin Yan is a woman, her methods and character are far superior to those of Song Yin Ye, that spoiled brat.
Song Tianqi inadvertently knew his father's thoughts, so he was also very headache about Song Yin Ye, just hoping that this son would give himself some face, make progress, and not let Song Yiqing have the opportunity to remove him.
This time attending the flower auction, Song Tianqi actually came to watch the excitement.
Flowers, although many people like them, but having such a large-scale auction, labor-intensive and costly, may not be worth it, the final profit will not be high, this way, he has the opportunity to tell Song Yiqing that Yin Yan is wrong.
This time, the auction unexpectedly brought out a strain of lotus seed orchid, as well as several strains of artificially cultivated lotus seed orchids and green dragon lying ink pools that Cheng Ziheng had brought, including some rare and valuable peony flowers. I thought it was already quite impressive, but then suddenly, Cordyceps sinensis appeared!
The current market price of 500g-sized Cordyceps sinensis is around 100,000 yuan, but it's hard to find on the market. The black market has driven up the price to over a million. This thing is rare and hard to come by, although there are many records of it. Because they grow in different environments, their quality and effects vary greatly. It's said that the best quality Cordyceps sinensis grows on jade stones, and its value is simply priceless.
This time, Rou Lingzhi appeared here, and from Yin Yan's tone, it wasn't just one. Song Tianqi was naturally moved, so he instructed Song Yin to take the initiative to go to Cheng Zihan's place and bring some back. Who knows, maybe they could even secretly stash away one or two. After all, no matter how noble Cheng Zihan was, she was still just a guest. Once inside the mountain, it was the Song family's domain. Wanting to swindle her out of a few Rou Lingzhi would be an easy task.
Unexpectedly, Song Yin Yi didn't even handle this matter properly, and Song Tian Qi was about to explode with anger.
The two had already arrived at the entrance of the villa where Cheng Zihan was located. Song Yinyi looked unwilling, and Song Tianqi glared at him, saying: "Later, remember not to conflict with them, no matter what they ask for, just agree. As for whether it can be done, that's for later. First, let them hand over the goods. After the auction is over, we'll deal with them. Meat Lingzhi is a good thing, it's impossible to appear in large quantities. They can take out so many for auction, which means they still have some in their hands. Humph, they will all be ours later."
This Song Tianqi was also greedy and actually had such an idea.
Cheng Zihan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV with her legs crossed. She didn't feel like moving today. Today was the first day of the auction, and Yin Yan had already given her the list of items to be auctioned off. Since there wasn't anything that interested her, she decided to just stay home and be lazy.
Cheng Hai and Qin Kexiu went to check on the situation. They had set off immediately after Song Yinyi left.
Han Jincheng was here for Cheng Zihan in the first place, and since Cheng Zihan didn't leave, he stayed behind to protect her. Han Yi also liked Cheng Zihan, so she stayed too.
The coffee table in front of her was full of food, and Cheng Zihan didn't stand on ceremony, eating with great relish.
Han Jingchen and Han Yi both returned to their rooms in silence.
"Ding dong ding dong." The doorbell suddenly rang out. Cheng Zihan dropped the things in her hand, looked at the direction of the door, and didn't move.
She knew who was coming with her toes.
Today, Yanyan is hosting an auction, and she definitely won't show up. Even if she does, it will be during the lunch break in the middle of the event.
That person outside is naturally Song Yin Ye who was just driven away.
Han Jingchen walked out of the house and glanced at Cheng Zihuan, "Who?"
Cheng Zihan spread out his hands, "The one you just threw out, if you want to let him in, I don't care."
Han Jingchen furrowed his brow, glanced at the door, and turned around to go back to his room directly.
Han Yi also came out after a while, took a look at the door and then looked at Cheng Zihuan before asking: "Zihuan, who is it? Why not open the door?"
"Song Yin Yi." Cheng Zi Han replied succinctly and sat down to eat.
The Xian Shi family's Shi family no longer fears her, so why would she still be afraid of the small Song family? Not to mention whether this Song Yin Ye is really the current head of the Song family or not, even if he was, it wouldn't be too difficult for Cheng Zi Han to get rid of a member of the Song family now. As long as she uses her brain and comes up with a plan, with Qin Ke Xiu's help, it would be easy.
This Song Yin Yi is a brainless guy, wanting to deal with him is even simpler than dealing with a pig.
Arrogant and self-righteous, looking down on others.
Cheng Zihan was too lazy to care, and Han Yi naturally wouldn't let Song Yin Ye in. He stood at the door for a moment, then turned around and went back to his room.
Song Yin-yi and his son had been ringing the doorbell for half a day, Song Yin-yi's patience was finally exhausted, he kicked the door hard and cursed: "Damn it! How dare you not open the door!"
Song Tianqi glared at him, thought for a moment, and then said: "Isn't the auction starting today? Maybe he went to attend, no one is here. Let's come back this afternoon, you control yourself a bit, don't talk nonsense and offend people."
Song Yin's heart was unwilling, but he hesitated because Song Tianqi was his own father, and only nodded in response.
The two of them turned and left.
Cheng Zihan didn't hear the doorbell ring, and suddenly felt bored. Han Junchen and Han Yi were also hiding in their rooms and wouldn't come out. She watched TV until she was drowsy, so she went back to take a nap.
At noon, Cheng Hai and Qin Ke Xiu returned. Tian Can was idle and noisy, wanting to follow them. After Cheng Zi Han repeatedly warned him not to make trouble, he made several promises before Cheng Zi Han allowed him to go with Cheng Hai and the others.
The little guy still looks like he's got unfinished business.
Cheng Zihan looked at his appearance and knew that this guy must have done something wrong, and couldn't help but look towards Cheng Hai.
Cheng Hai sat down next to Cheng Zihan, received Cheng Zihan's gaze, and looked at Tian Can again before telling him what had happened.
It turns out that Tian Can really did cause trouble.
The first auction this time sold items priced between 200,000 to 1 million yuan, which is not particularly expensive. Because there are many goods in this batch, they were divided into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The final lot was a peony seedling from the Qinglong Womoke Pond, brought over by Cheng Zihan. There were not a few bidders, but the price just wouldn't go up.
It's been half an hour and it's still only 3 million.
Tian Can looked displeased at the sight of it. After all, it was something from his own home, how could it be so cheap? As a result, he opened his mouth and called out 500,000.
In the end, due to Tian Can's meddling, that peony seedling which was originally worth only around 3 million, ended up being sold for a whopping 8.8 million to a peony enthusiast.
Tian Can was a little proud of himself, and Yin Yan looked at him with joy in her heart.
They can extract a 10% handling fee from it, and naturally the higher the price the better.
The morning auction ended like this, and Cheng Hai and others just went to join in the fun, so no one made a move.
The auction had just ended when Silver Swallow rushed over in a hurry.
Cheng Zihan glanced at her lightly and saw that she was sweating on her forehead because of running in a hurry.
"What brings Miss Song here?" Cheng Zihan was still angry with Song Yinyi, and her anger extended to Yin Yan as well, so she didn't have a good attitude towards her either.
"I heard that my brother offended you and you refused to take out the Roulin Chi for auction?" Yin Yan asked somewhat anxiously.
Cheng Zihan didn't hide it, "Yes, who made him so annoying and offended me? I won't sell it to you, don't come begging me, I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you want me to take it out again, let him come apologize to me. If I'm happy, maybe I'll change my mind. However, you guys are running out of time, tomorrow's final auction is about to start and there won't be anything to put out. I'm afraid your other clients will also be unhappy, and the consequences are not something I can imagine."
Cheng Zihan was straightforward and didn't want to beat around the bush with Yin Yan. She just wanted to teach Song Yin a lesson, without any ill intentions towards Yin Yan.
"Zi Han, don't be like this, we have something to discuss properly, it's too hurtful and unpleasant." Yin Yan heard this and became anxious. Who is Song Yin Yi? Others may not know, but she doesn't either? He's just an uneducated, arrogant, and bullying second-generation rich kid, he has no other skills, the one thing he's best at is stirring up trouble.
He provoked others, that's nothing, but this time he came to provoke Cheng Zihuan, isn't it obvious that he wants to be at odds with her?
Although she is an illegitimate daughter and not valued, in the past two years, she has been proving her own worth with her own strength, and also got the recognition of the head of the household and her father. However, Song Tianqi and Song Yinyi are both of the same character, taking every opportunity to find fault with her.
Yin Yan can walk to today is really not easy, she does not want to let go of any opportunity at will.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you the thing, but first I'm going to teach Song Yinyi a lesson and see if he still dares to be arrogant." Cheng Zihan glanced at Yin Yan, and in his heart, he also had some appreciation for her.
If one day Silver Swallow were to lose hope in the Song family and leave them, she wouldn't mind pulling her over at all.
Yanyan is absolutely a talented person, with top-notch social skills. Where can you find such an excellent PR talent?
The Song family doesn't know how to cherish things, they really are blind. The head of the Song family, Cheng Zihan, hasn't even seen it yet, but already has a bad feeling about it.
Yin Yan naturally did not know about these thoughts in Cheng Zihan's mind, she was just very happy after hearing Cheng Zihan's promise, as long as Cheng Zihan didn't change his mind and take out the Rou Lingzhi, she had nothing to worry about.
As for Cheng Zihan wanting to teach Song Yinyi a lesson, she was more than happy to oblige.
After some thought, she said to Cheng Zihan: "Zihan, this time if you teach Song Yinyi a lesson, I will definitely help you with one thing in the future, no matter what it is."
Yingyan spoke too quickly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.
Cheng Zihan looked at her with a faint smile, "You can't back down now."
Yingyan sighed, "No regrets."
"You go back first, I'll take a look at Song Yinyi for a while, he should be here soon." Cheng Zihan looked at the time, it was already 12 o'clock, and estimated that Song Yinyi would arrive immediately.
Yin Yan nodded and was just about to leave when the doorbell rang from that side.
It seems that Yin Yan is unable to leave after all.
Cheng Zihan smiled and didn't go open the door.
Cheng Hai, Qin Kexiu, Han Jincheng, and Han Yi all walked out of the room one after another, standing at the door looking at Cheng Zihuan.
Cheng Zihan looked up at them and said, "What are you looking at me for? I won't go open the door. No way."
Tian Can at this time ran out of the room with a pitter-patter, "Zi Han sister, I'll go open the door, you reward me!"
As she spoke, she ran to the door and grabbed the door handle with both hands, about to pull it open.
At this time, Cheng Zihan said coolly, "You open it, and after opening it, I won't give you anything to eat."
Tian Can's whole body trembled with fear, his hand also stiffened and stopped moving.
Cheng Zihan smiled contentedly and ignored Tiansan, lying on the sofa by herself, feeling extremely comfortable.
Let Song Yin Ye wait at the door for a while, it's considered giving him a warning, letting him know that being too proud is not acceptable, pride is not an illness, but excessive pride is arrogance, and it makes people dislike you.
"Dad, I think that Cheng Zihan must have done it on purpose. She's inside, but she won't come and open the door for us!" Song Yinjie had been standing at the door for half an hour, but no one came to let him in, so he was furious, gritting his teeth as he spoke to Song Tianqi.
Song Tianqi also furrowed his brow, even in the capital, there were not many people who dared not to give face to the Song family, and this small place actually had someone who dared not to put the Song family in their eyes, it was unbearable!
"Open the door! Open it quickly!" Song Tianqi's temperament was just like Song Yin's, no wonder they were father and son, both acting impulsively without thinking.
Cheng Zihan silently looked at Yin Yan and asked in a cold tone, "Miss Song, are all the people from your Song family of this quality?"
Yin Yan's face turned slightly red as if she felt it was a shame to have such family members, "No."
Her voice was really too small, almost negligible, but Cheng Zihan heard it, so he looked at her with a suspicious face.
Yingyan's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.
She's not afraid of Cheng Zihan, but Qin Kexiu is now standing upstairs watching, and Song Yin and others are actually slapping her in the face.
There were two more people inside the house who were arranged to come and serve, they heard the sound of kicking at the door, hurriedly ran out from the kitchen, looked at Cheng Zihuan, "Miss Cheng wants to go open the door?"
Cheng Zihan nodded, "Go."
A slight lesson is enough, but if this continues, it's likely to lead to dissatisfaction from the Song family.
Cheng Zihan naturally didn't fear the Song family, but also didn't want to provoke them and bring trouble back to herself.
She's not afraid, but she's worried that those people will shamelessly make a move on the people around her, so she has to be on guard.
The servants heard Cheng Zihan's order and hastily went to open the door.
Cheng Zihan continued to lie on the sofa with her legs raised and didn't even look at the two people by the door.
Song Yinyi was furious, wanting to scold loudly as soon as she came in. Suddenly seeing Silver Swallow standing there, her anger couldn't be contained and she started scolding Silver Swallow instead, "Ah, you Silver Swallow! I was wondering why no one opened the door even after ringing the doorbell for so long outside. It turns out it's because of you, this little cheap thing! Tell me, did you say something to them that made them not open the door for us?"
Yin Yan didn't even bother denying it, talking to someone with a brain full of nonsense was a waste of brain cells, she said goodbye to Cheng Zihan and left first.
Song Yin Yi looked at Silver Swallow's back and gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could overpower her and bully her mercilessly.
He returned to his senses and looked at Cheng Zihuan coldly, "We are here to apologize."
Cheng Zihan sneered, looking at Song Yinyi with a mocking gaze, "Apologize? I didn't hear any apologetic tone, but rather a provocative one."
Song Yinyi's face turned pale with anger, staring at Cheng Ziheng, "Cheng Ziheng, you don't accept the toast but also want to punish me for not drinking? I've already swallowed my pride to apologize to you, what more do you want?"
"Sorry, I don't drink." Cheng Zihan continued to sneer coldly, lying down and not even looking at Song Yinyi anymore, but instead stretched out her hand to carefully examine her own fingers.
Han Jingchen and others have come out of the room and are standing on both sides of Cheng Zihan.
Song Tianqi had just not seen Han Junchen and Han Yi, this time he saw that the two monsters of the Han family were actually both here, and it seemed that they were all serving the girl lying in the middle. For a moment, he was frightened and his heart also added a few points of vigilance against Cheng Zihuan.
He quickly put on a smiling face and said to Cheng Zihang: "Sorry, this matter is all the fault of my family's Silver Wing. I hope you can forgive him for being young and ignorant, and don't take it seriously with him."
Cheng Zihan laughed upon hearing this, sat up straight and looked at Song Tianqi sternly, "Young and ignorant? You want me to forgive him? At his age, not understanding things is one thing, but doesn't he even have a bit of brains?"
Cheng Zihan's vicious and venomous accusations made Song Yinyi furious: "Cheng Zihan, don't be too arrogant! I'm not someone to be trifled with either. If you make me unhappy, I'll make sure you can't just walk away! Let you know that the people of the Song family are not easy to bully!"
Song Tianqi wanted to pull him back but it was too late, listening to his words and looking at Han Yi and Han Jingchen's cold faces, he had already lost all hope.
He glared at Song Yin Ye for a moment, and for the first time, Song Tian Qi felt that his own son was really stupid!
"Alright, I'd like to see you try to get me to leave! Get out! From now on, don't even think about setting foot in here again!" Cheng Zihan heard Song Yinjie's foolish words and became even more blunt, issuing an order to expel the guest.
Han Jingchen and Qin Kexiu took a step forward, their momentum bursting out, scaring Song Yinyi and Song Tianqi to retreat continuously.
"Miss Cheng, please calm down, please calm down. What do you want me to do to make amends with my Silver Wing? Just say it." Song Tianqi knew the identities of Han Jincheng and Han Yi, so he was extremely cautious around Cheng Zihuan. Seeing that Song Silver Wing didn't mind dying to provoke Cheng Zihuan, he hastily came out to mediate and make amends.
Song Yin Yi, however, was unaware of the good intentions and dissatisfied, protesting against Song Tian Qi: "Dad, why are you afraid of them? It's just that there are more people, I'll go back and call 120 people to come over and see if they won't be beaten until they're searching for their teeth everywhere."
Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow, and beating them until they were searching for their teeth all over the ground seemed like a pretty good idea.
Han Jingchen's face had completely changed, he turned his head to look at Cheng Zihuan, seeing her smiling brightly, and suddenly understood what Cheng Zihuan was going to do.
He gave Qin Kexiu a look, and Qin Kexiu immediately understood.
Two men went over and directly dragged Song Yin Ye over. Song Tian Qi wanted to come over and help, but was pulled back by Cheng Hai and Han Yi.
"Are you kidding me? Do you want to find a hundred or so people to beat us up and make our Xiaohan search for her teeth all over the ground? I'll let you experience what it's like to search for your teeth on the ground right now!" Qin Kesu said coldly, his massive fist slamming into Song Yin's cheek as soon as he finished speaking.
"Pffft." Song Yin Yue was directly hit and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out, his chest violently heaving.
He waited for Qin Kesu, still unwilling to admit defeat: "You dare to hit me! You hit me, just wait for my grandfather to bring people to deal with you!"
Cheng Zihan shook her head, this guy still didn't know whether he was dead or alive until now, it made her want to cry and laugh at the same time.
"It's better if he comes now." Han Jinchen was also straightforward, and with a punch, Song Yin's half face was numb, and a large amount of blood spurted out, which was even more fierce than the one Qin Ke had just hit.
"Waaaah." Song Yin Ye still wanted to speak, but Qin Ke Xiu simply removed Song Yin Ye's shoes and stuffed them into his mouth, not letting him make any annoying sounds.
Cheng Zihan watched with a cold eye and didn't stop Qin Kexiu and Han Jincheng from ruthlessly knocking out one of Song Yin's teeth.
Song Tianqi watched from the side, furious, "You, you actually dare to openly oppose our Song family! I won't let you off easily! You wait!"
After scolding him, Song Tianqi finally broke free from Cheng Hai's restraints and went to support Song YinYing as they walked away.
Cheng Zihan sneered and ignored him.
In the midst of the great mountain, a castle-like building can be vaguely seen standing among them. This castle was where Cheng Zihan and his group stayed when they came before.
Inside the castle there is a reception hall, specially for high-level meetings of the Song family.
At this time, Song Yiqing sat in the main seat with a cold face, and on his right side sat Song Tianqi with a disappointed face, and Song YinYi who was injured all over.
Yin Yan was also seated, looking at Song Yin's furrowed brow.
As soon as Song Yin Yi and Song Tian Qi returned, they told the story of how they met with Cheng Zi Han and others without saying a word and beat them up.
Song Yiqing was naturally furious. Such a blatant beating of his Song family, and the one being beaten was still the eldest son of the Song family, how could he remain unmoved?
"Are you sure she didn't say anything before they just started fighting? Didn't you guys say something out of line?" Song Yiqing couldn't understand his own son and grandson, they must have said something to provoke the other party, that's why they were beaten.
"Dad, we really didn't say anything. We went to ring the doorbell this morning, but no one answered us. So we went again at noon, and it wasn't until much later that someone came to open the door for us. As soon as we entered, before we could even speak, their people beat us up and threw us out." Song Tianqi said with a pig-headed face, complaining loudly to Song Yiqing.
Han Jingchen and Qin Kexiu only beat Song Yinyi, but the injuries on Song Tianqi's body were actually caused by himself on purpose, just to make Song Yiqing angry.
Song Yiqing was indeed angry.
His son and grandson were inexplicably beaten, that one slap was like a slap in his face, how could he not be angry?
"Grandfather, I think there must be some misunderstanding. When my uncle and brother came, I was also there, and they didn't intentionally not open the door. At that time, we were negotiating, and I hope Miss Cheng can take back her previous words and continue to bring out the Roulin Chi for us to auction off. After all, the news has already been released, and then my uncle and brother came knocking on the door. Miss Cheng considered our matters had not yet been discussed, so she told someone not to open the door first, and only after our negotiations were over did she instruct the servant to open the door for my uncle and brother."
Yin Yan chose her words carefully and didn't dare to say too much, but when she left, it was indeed for the sake of Rou Lingzhi's matter, so it wasn't considered a lie either.
As for those rude words spoken by Song Yin Yi as soon as they entered the door, she didn't say them out loud either, lest Song Yi Qing get angry.
Song Yiqing listened to Yin Yan's words and coldly looked at Song Yin and his son.
Song Tianqi didn't say anything, he just sat there with a cold face.
Song Yin-yi was not convinced, "You little cheap thing, of course you're speaking for that cheap goods, you're all the same!"
As soon as Song Yin Yi's words came out, Song Tian Qi knew he was done for.
This Song Yin Yi really has no brain, speaking without reserve, what he says is really infuriating!
He sighed and sat down beside her without saying another word.
Song Yiqing's face changed, and he looked coldly at Song Yin Yi, already understanding a bit in his heart.
Song Yin's mouth is foul, he knows this himself, but relying on his own identity, he has always been arrogant and doesn't know how much trouble he has caused. However, others look at the face of the Song family and add to it the power of the Situ family behind them, so they don't dare touch him.
This time I'm afraid I've kicked an iron plate and got a good scolding.
Song Yiqing coldly smiled as he looked at Song Tianqi, afraid that this time Song Tianqi had also done something bad. Just now, he was still helping Song Yin to speak, adding oil and vinegar to make it sound good. This father-son pair really is a perfect match! It seems that he can't continue to be biased towards them anymore.
"Grandpa, this time my brother has offended them. Cheng Zihuan has the Han family backing her up, I'm afraid she won't let it go easily." Yinyin only gave Song Yin a faint glance and then spoke to Song Yiqing.
"What? The Han family too?" Song Yiqing's face really changed this time.
If he had let Song Yinyi go to apologize before, it was for the benefit of the auction house and the reputation of the Song family. After all, the news about Roulingzhi had already been spread out. If they couldn't deliver on time, it would inevitably have a significant impact on the reputation of the Song family. However, now that he heard that Cheng Zihans backer was actually the Han family, his attitude immediately changed.
The Han family is a top-notch person in both the business and political circles. Offending the Han family, even if the Situ family protects them, they will not be able to eat or walk around.
"How did this get dragged onto the Han family's head?" Song Yiqing stood up and paced back and forth restlessly.
"Cheng Zihan and Han Yi have a good relationship, and also with the Han family, especially Han Jingchen. This time they came together, accompanied by these two." Yinyan hesitated for a moment before continuing to add.
This time Song Yiqing's eyes were wide with astonishment.
Unexpectedly, she's even close to that pervert Han Jingchen!
It's fine to have a good relationship with Han Yi, after all, he is just an unremarkable junior. Even if the Han family is more prestigious, Han Yi is still just a young man. Song Yiqing really doesn't take him seriously, but Han Jingchen is different.
In the capital city, everyone knows that you must not offend Han Jingchen, because he is simply not human! He is notoriously short-tempered and a dead pervert!
But since that thing happened back then, Han Jinchen hasn't asked about anything for many years.
Unexpectedly, he actually paid attention to a little girl, it seems that this Cheng Zihan is definitely not simple.
"After some thought, he finally said to Silver Swallow: 'No matter how you put it, this time we are in the wrong. Let's go apologize and hope she can be magnanimous and not bother us.'"
Ying Yan hesitated and looked at Song Yiqing, shaking her head. "I'm afraid it's difficult. Originally, she had already promised me that this matter would not be pursued, but now, I also don't have complete confidence that she won't pursue it."
Yin Yan said, still looking at Song Yin Yi, the meaning was already very clear.
This time might be her chance to squeeze Song Yinyi out and climb up herself. As long as Cheng Zihan cooperates, she is very confident that she can squeeze out this useless guy Song Yinyi.
It seems now that Cheng Zihan is very dissatisfied with Song Yinyi, no matter what the reason is, it's good for himself.
"Zi Han, is there a reason why you're doing this?" Han Yi asked Cheng Zi Han, puzzled, after sending away Song Yin and his son.
It's not quite like Cheng Zihan to confront Song Yin and his son in such a grand manner, she should be more despicable and sinister, for example, taking advantage of the dark night and strong winds, catching Song Yin off guard and beating him up violently, or even more ruthlessly, just like what she did to Yan Han...
However, Cheng Zihan did not do so, but instead directly confronted them openly, which was really not in line with Cheng Zihan's usual style of dealing with people.
Cheng Zihan looked at Han Yi and smiled, "You still understand me best."
Han Jichen looked at Han Yi silently for a moment without saying anything.
Qin Kexiu shook his head, he didn't ask because he knew what Cheng Zihan meant.
She did it on purpose.
Intentionally going against Song Yin Ye.
Intentionally making Song Yin Yi lose face.
Finally, it's estimated that Silver Swallow will be called in to settle this matter.
The purpose is simple, it's to make Silver Swallow owe her a favor, so that in the future, if she wants to cooperate with Silver Swallow or pull her over to her side, it will be much more convenient.
Cheng Zihan has already figured it out. Song Yiqing, that old stubborn man, if he really values Yin Yan's ability, it is impossible for him to wait until two years later to cancel the position of Song Yin Wing's successor and give it to Yin Yan.
He should have two concerns.
Firstly, Yin Yan is a woman. Women are bound to get married eventually. If the position of successor were given to her, it's likely that the Song family would change hands in the future. This is something that Song Yi Qing does not want to see happen.
Secondly, Yin Yan's identity is awkward. She was born to Song Yiqing's third son and his mistress, who was a dancer by profession. Under such circumstances, he even doubted whether Yin Yan was his own biological granddaughter, so how could he possibly hand over the position of successor to her?
So Cheng Zihan was certain that even if this matter got out of hand, and Yin Yan personally stepped in to resolve the commotion, Song Yiqing might place more importance on Yin Yan, but would never give her the position of successor.
Yin Yan has been working hard for so long, just to prove her ability and get the position she has been thinking about for a long time. If Song Yiqing still can't satisfy her in the end, she will definitely be disappointed, and it's only a matter of time before she leaves the Song family.
Cheng Zihan had calculated everything clearly, and this farce was just a play she deliberately performed with Yin Yan.
She knew that Song Yiqing would definitely let Song Yin Ye come to apologize, and if this time Cheng Zihan continued to be stubborn, Song Yiqing might take matters into his own hands.
She was waiting for Song Yiqing to come in person and meet this old man who had eyes but no pearls.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, an hour later, Song Yinyi arrived, accompanied by Silver Swallow and Song Tianqi.
Cheng Zihan looked at Song Tianqi with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression. Seeing the injuries on him, she naturally understood what had happened.
This person actually wants to self-mutilate to frame himself, it's really ridiculous.
Cheng Zihan sat on the sofa in the living room, lazily glanced at Song Yinyi and asked: "What's wrong? Mr. Song has come to my place three times today, it's almost like the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, although he didn't bring any gifts, with empty hands, I won't say anything about that. What is it this time? If you still want to come and get beaten up, then go back, my hand hurts from hitting you, this cheap skull, and I don't want to continue fighting with you."
Cheng Zihan's words were so arrogant, Song Tianqi listened and felt annoyed in his heart. But thinking about it, Song Yiqing was already very angry, now the best thing to do is to solve the problem as soon as possible, don't make Song Yiqing even angrier, and also try to trick Rou Lingzhi into their hands as soon as possible.
"Cheng Zihan, don't be so smug. This time I admit defeat, and I'm here to apologize to you." Song Yinyi gritted his teeth in anger, but since Silver Swallow was present, he couldn't say anything too harsh, and could only say it begrudgingly.
Cheng Zihan burst out laughing and looked at Song Yinyi with a glance, "Did I hear that wrong? What did you just say? Come and apologize to me?"
"Yes. Don't be too much! I've already apologized!" Song Yinyi was furious when he saw Cheng Zihan's attitude, and he wished he could pounce on her and bite her to death.
Cheng Zihan stood up and walked to the front of Song Yinyi, raised her head and looked at him coldly. "You apologize for this attitude, do you think I need to forgive you?"
"What do you want then?" Song Yin asked through gritted teeth.
"It's simple, you kneel down and learn to bark like a dog three times, and I'll forgive you." Cheng Zihan returned the words that Song Yin Yi had said to her that day, verbatim.
Song Yin's face turned green with anger, and he was about to lose his temper. Silver Swallow quickly stepped forward to mediate: "Miss Cheng, I think you should let it go and not take my brother's words to heart. He's young and doesn't know any better. You're a grown-up, so please be magnanimous and forgive him this time. Your request was also a bit too much for him."
Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Yin Yan and retorted: "Oh? Forcing someone to do something difficult? Your dear brother came here for the first time and spoke to me like this, with a tone even harsher than mine. Do you want me to teach you how it's done?"
Yin Yan's face changed slightly, and she turned her head to glance at Song Yin Ye.
Song Yin Yi hummed and raised his chin, ignoring Silver Swallow.
Cheng Zihan looked at Song Yin with a cold smile.
Song Tianqi saw that the stalemate was not beneficial to anyone, especially since they were at a disadvantage now, so he stepped forward, "Miss Cheng, let's end this while we're ahead. What do you want? We'll try our best to satisfy your demands."
Cheng Zihan gave Song Tianqi a sideways glance and didn't say anything.
Ying Yan hastily stepped forward, pulled on Cheng Zihan's hand and smiled: "Miss Cheng, just give me some face, forgive my brother this once, our cooperation will continue. What requirements or conditions you have, feel free to mention them, as long as they are within my capabilities, I'll satisfy them."
Cheng Zihan knew that Yin Yan was asking for a favor, so she wouldn't make things difficult for her. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Alright, then I won't charge you guys any handling fees for the items I'm putting up for auction this time."
Ying Yan burst out laughing as soon as she heard it, saying repeatedly: "Of course, of course."
Cheng Zihan sneered and glanced at Yin Yan, thinking to herself that if Yin Yan knew she had been deceived by her own doing, would she be so angry that she would spit blood?
The things that are being auctioned off now naturally won't have many procedures, so the dozen or so flower seedlings can be sold for three to five million at most. But what she's going to take out next, Silver Swallow might not be able to swallow it.
But for the Song family, a few hundred million is not a lot of money either.
"I have another condition." Cheng Zihan glanced at Yin Yan before continuing to add.
Song Tianqi's face had already turned somewhat unpleasant, but he couldn't lash out and could only stand by with a dark expression.
"What other conditions do you have?" Yanyan asked cautiously, already making eyes at Cheng Zihan.
"In the future, we can continue to cooperate as long as you still hold auctions. I have things here that can be sold at auction, but I have one condition: if you agree, we'll cooperate; if not, we'll never cooperate." Cheng Zihan said this while giving Song Yinyi a faint glance.
Song Yinyi gave her a cold glance, thinking if you have an opinion, just say it, what can I do about it.
Ying Yan was overjoyed and hastily asked: "What conditions?"
Cheng Zihan had previously brought out good items, and last time she also bought a lot of good stuff. The auctions in Wangcheng are just small-time, the big ones are at Tai'erzhuang's underground auction house outside the capital.
Yin Yan has been doing well lately, and it's estimated that she'll be transferred to Tai'erzhuang next year to take charge of the auction house there. As long as Cheng Zihuan is willing to cooperate, she's confident that she can manage the place with ease.
"All cooperative matters, I only want to contact you alone. Once the person changes, I will immediately stop cooperating." Cheng Zihan said calmly, and as expected, she saw Yin Yan's surprised expression when she heard her words.
Cheng Zihan was obviously helping her, how could Yin Yan be so clever and not see it.
She was just curious why Cheng Zihan wanted to help her?
Song Yin-yi's face changed upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but burst out in a loud scolding: "Cheng Zi-han, what do you mean by this? If you have something to say to me, then say it clearly! Don't beat around the bush and confuse people with your nonsense! Are you targeting me on purpose? You say you forgive me on the surface, but behind my back, you're actually stabbing me in the back. You really are shameless!"
Cheng Zihan's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Song Yinyi with a silly expression. This guy really had no brains, and at this time, he was still causing trouble, saying something like that.
It seems he has made up his mind not to forgive himself.
Cheng Zihan's face changed, and Yin Yan immediately became tense.
It was not easy to get Cheng Zihan's consent, how could she let go of the opportunity. At this moment, her face changed, and she glared at Song Yin Ye with a fierce gaze, "Song Yin Ye! Are you done causing trouble? Grandfather has already said it, no matter what conditions Miss Cheng proposes, we must agree! She hasn't made any excessive demands yet, are you not afraid of Grandfather dealing with you if you continue to cause trouble?"
"Song Yinyan, don't be so smug! Do you think that with this little cheap person backing you up, you can get the position of the head of the Song family? Don't even dream about it! With your unknown origins, don't even think about it! I won't say anything more, do whatever you want!" Song Yinyi also lost his temper, glared at Yinyan fiercely and turned to leave.
Ying Yan gritted her teeth, looked at him for a moment, then turned back to look at Cheng Zihan and hastily said, "Cheng Zihan, you have to keep your word."
Cheng Zihan didn't say anything either, just gazing at her quietly.
Ying Yan didn't care about that anymore, Song Yin Yi must have gone back to find Song Yi Qing to tattle, now she also wanted to go and take a look at the situation.
After several people left Song's house, Cheng Zihan finally smiled coldly and sat back down.
Han Yi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Cheng Zihuan, "Looks like someone's in trouble."
Cheng Zihan did not comment on this, but one thing was certain - she would definitely take action against Song Yin Ye, and it was impossible for her to let him off easily. As for what to do next, she had not made up her mind yet.
Qin Kexiu seemed to have seen through Cheng Zihan's mind, and suddenly added a sentence in a cool tone, "I think if something is hung at the entrance of the auction house tomorrow, it will be quite effective."
Cheng Zihan turned her head and glanced at Qin Kexiu, a smile playing on her lips.
Song Yin Yi indeed went to find Song Yi Qing to complain, and even told him about the matter of Cheng Zi Han wanting him to learn dog barking before forgiving him, adding oil to the fire and saying a lot. After finishing, he didn't care about Song Yi Qing's dark face, and loudly shouted: "Grandfather, I don't care how you punish me! I am your grandson! The eldest son of the Song family! Being humiliated is nothing, but she is indirectly humiliating our Song family! You can tolerate it, I won't! I will not go to apologize again!"
After roaring, Song Yinyi turned around and ran away.
When Yin Yan returned, Song Yin Yi had already vented and left, leaving only Song Yi Qing standing there with a cold face.
Yingyan walked over carefully and said, "Grandpa."
"Be honest, is this time you and that called Cheng Zihan together to bully your brother?" Song Yiqing's tone was very cold, he looked at Silver Swallow, the icy eyes couldn't see any warmth.
Yin Yan's heart sank, and she smiled bitterly as she looked at Song Yiqing. "In your eyes, Grandfather, I'm just that kind of person, am I? I've met Miss Cheng Zihan twice before. The first time was when her nursery produced the famous peony flowers that shocked the capital, and it was a big deal back then. I went to find her hoping we could cooperate, but she refused me without hesitation. The second time was here at the auction house, where she brought many precious flower seeds, and I personally received her. Later, she suddenly came to me with the meat spirit mushroom, asking how much it was worth and if I could help sell it. I immediately agreed, planning to arrange for someone to pick it up right away and start preparing for the auction. I had already announced that we would be adding another item to the auction list, so most of the buyers knew about the meat spirit mushroom. As for its value, Grandfather should know as well. I don't know why my brother suddenly provoked Miss Cheng Zihan, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I don't know what he just told you, but I want to tell you that just now, Miss Cheng Zihan agreed to cooperate with us long-term. She has many treasures in her hands, each worth a fortune, and if we can get such a partner, it would be a great opportunity for us. Moreover, she has the support of the Han family behind her. I think this is an opportunity, and we were about to reach an agreement when my brother suddenly lost his temper and scolded her severely. Now I don't know if she'll change her mind and refuse to cooperate with us again. Grandfather, I don't ask for fairness from you; I know I'm a daughter born out of wedlock, and I know that as a woman, my words carry no weight. But I've always worked hard to prove myself. If you insist on thinking that Miss Cheng Zihan and I are in cahoots, then so be it. I'll go work now."
Yingyan finished speaking and backed out with red eyes.
Song Yiqing looked at her back, seemingly lost in thought.
After some thought, he finally walked out and headed in the direction of the villa where Cheng Zihan was.
He wants to go find Cheng Zihan and have a talk.
