Tang Li turned around and saw a woman in designer clothes, high heels, and a fashionable hat with big red lips walking over, swaying.
This woman was arrogant and looked at them with disdain.
When the middle-aged man saw the woman walking over, his eyes lit up. He quickly asked excitedly, âMiss, are you really willing to give me 100,000 yuan for this antique?â
After the woman walked over, she didnât even look at the middle-aged man. She first glanced at Tang Li before looking at Xiang Wanwan. She said in a sarcastic tone, âHey! Isnât this Xiang Wanwan, who is lusting after my boyfriend? Whatâs the matter? You can find a sugar daddy so you found a sugar mommy instead?â
At this point, she leaned towards Xiang Wanwan and gritted her teeth. âI didnât know you are into women as well.â
âWang Lu, what are you talking about?â Xiang Wanwan frowned. She first glanced at Tang Li apologetically before returning Wang Luâs gaze seriously. âItâs Zhang Pengfei whoâs always harassing me. Iâve never liked him.â
âNonsense!â These words instantly made her explode. âWhy in the world would Pengfei fall for someone who had nothing good about her? If you didnât seduce him, why would he buy you a gift?â
âHumph!â Xiang Wanwan retorted, âInstead of blaming me here, you should ask Zhang Pengfei why when I rejected him over and over, he is still harassing me.â
âYouâre the one who seduced him! Iâll kill you today!â
Wang Lu raised her hand to hit Xiang Wanwan.
Xiang Wanwan didnât have time to react. Just as her hand was about to hit her face, she was stopped by another hand.
Wang Lu suddenly looked at Tang Li, and her face contorted as she screamed, âWhat are you doing?â
Tang Li raised her eyebrows and advised her kindly, âMiss, weâre adults so we can talk. Do we have to resort to violence?â
âDid you have any problem with me teaching a mistress who seduced my boyfriend?â
Wang Lu struggled free from Tang Liâs grip and took two steps back. She rubbed her hand that was hurt by Tang Li and gritted her teeth. âBelieve it or not, if I call people over, every one of them will agree to me hitting a mistress.â
Then she pointed at Xiang Wanwan.
Xiang Wanwan was so angry that her face turned red. âI told you I didnât seduce Zhang Pengfei. He was the one who harassed me.â
âImpossible!â
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, the middle-aged man standing at the side was worried that his business would go down the drain. He quickly asked Wang Lu, âMiss, are you buying my antique or not? If not, Iâll sell them to someone else.â
Wang Lu was so angry that she wanted to tear Xiang Wanwan apart. She was not in the mood to talk about antiques now and was about to say no.
Just then Tang Li said coldly, âIf you donât want it, itâll be mine. Just now this uncle was kicked out from a nearby store. The people in the store said that he was selling a counterfeit. I donât care if itâs counterfeit or not as long as I am happy with my purchase. If youâre thinking the same and are richer than me, then hurry up and buy it.â
Wang Lu was not short of money. When she heard Tang Liâs words, she thought that Tang Li and Xiang Wan were together, so in order to piss off Tang Li, she straightened her neck and said with a red face, â100,000 yuan is nothing. Itâs not like I canât afford it.â
After saying that, she took out her card from her bag and asked the middle-aged man, âCard or cash?â
âCash, I want cash.â The middle-aged man looked at the card, and his eyes lit up. He quickly rubbed his hands and said, âMiss, thereâs an ATM not far ahead. Iâll bring you there now.â
âSure.â
When Wang Lu left, she sneered at Tang Li and said, âYouâll regret being friends with Xiang Wanwan.â
Tang Li replied seriously, âWell, Iâll wait and see. However, according to my prediction, your family will go bankrupt soon. Do you want me to draw a luck talisman to counter the disaster? The fee is reasonable, only one million. What do you think?â
Wang Lu was furious. âYour family will go bankrupt!â
After saying that, she leaped towards Tang Li, wanting to attack her.
Tang Li leaned her body to the side and dodged her. At the same time, she gave her forehead a flick and said, âCan we behave like ladies instead of using violence. Also⦠let me remind you that I have a black belt in Taekwondo. If you really want to fight, we can try.â
Wang Lu was speechless.
âHumph, people like you donât deserve my time.â
After saying that, he gave Xiang Wanwan a look that said, âJust you wait.â Then she left with the middle-aged man angrily.
Looking at the departing figure, Tang Li rubbed her chin and sighed. âSigh, the ignorant are so scary.â
âMiss Tangâ¦â
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Xiang Wanwan and asked, âArenât you still a student? Itâs Friday today. What are you doing here?â
âI donât have class in the afternoon, so I wanted to buy some cheap stuff and set up a stall at night.â
ââ¦â Tang Li was surprised by how brainless the female lead was to come to the antique street to buy cheap stuff.
âDid you buy any?â
âNot yet, but Iâve already settled on some. Iâll go over and talk about the price later with the boss.â
Tang Li thought that she was just trying her luck by coming over, so she followed suit. âAlright, Iâll go see how you bargain.â
She had never bargained, and she wanted to learn.
Xiang Wanwan naturally didnât mind, so the two of them set out.
On the way, Xiang Wan talked about the money she owed Tang Li. âIâm working hard to earn money now. Iâll try my best to return the money I owe you as soon as possible.â
âSure.â
After walking for two streets, they arrived at the place Xiang Wanwan said.
It was a stall with many copper coins and trinkets. When Tang Li walked closer to the stall, she sensed a powerful spiritual energy emanating from an ordinary-looking hairpin.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Xiang Wanwan got closer, she squatted down and chose a lot of small items before bargaining with the boss.
The boss said, âConsidering that you want a lot, I will give you a reasonable price. How about five thousand yuan.â
Tang Li used her consciousness to ask the Book Spirit in Wanwanâs mind.
âHow far have the female lead and male lead progressed?â
âTheyâve only met once.â
The Book Spirit told her about their meeting. It didnât sound romantic at all. The female lead was almost killed by the male lead.
The Book Spirit grumbled, âI feel like the Artifact Spirit is telling the male lead what to do. Last time, when the two of them were about to have some romantic encounter, the Artifact Spirit stopped him.â
Tang Li frowned and asked, âYou and the artifact spirit should not exist in this book. Now that you are here, will you two break the rules in the book?â
She only wanted to peacefully live in this world where she was not cursed. She did not want it to be destroyed because of two spirit artifacts.
âNo, the Artifact Spirit swallowed the book spirit of this book when we came in, so weâve already blended in.â
âThatâs good.â
Tang Li was relieved and retracted her consciousness. She happened to hear Xiang Wanwan say, âSir, five hundred, not a penny more and not a penny less. If you think this price is alright, weâll seal the deal right now. I am not a layman so donât ever think about playing tricks with me, I know exactly how much these are.â
Xiang Wanwan talked for four to five minutes.
The boss was worried that Xiang Wanwan might scare away other potential customers, so he agreed and even told Xiang Wanwan to take the item and leave quickly.
Tang Li was so shocked that she could not speak. If she remembered correctly, the boss asked for five thousand yuan, but she was able to cut down the price to five hundred yuan!
For someone like her who never bargained for anything, it was an eye-opener.
After the two of them walked for a while, Xiang Wanwan passed the hairpin that Tang Li had seen before to her. âMiss Tang, I saw you have been staring at this hairpin.. You can take it if you want.â
