Tang Li looked at Xiang Wanwan in surprise. This was the first time someone gave her something like this. She took it and said, âThank you.â
Xiang Wanwan waved at her and smiled. âThis is nothing. You can take it if you want.â
Tang Li nodded and put the hairpin into her pocket. She asked, âThe boss asks for five thousand. Why did you manage to cut it down to five hundred?â
She was really shocked by her bargaining skill.
Xiang Wanwan smiled and explained, âThese are all counterfeits. Actually, I feel that 500 is more than enough because the manufacturing cost is even lower than that.â
Tang Li was speechless.
Xiang Wanwan added, âEven authentic antiques can be bargained, let alone counterfeits. As long as you know how to bargain, you can buy them at half the price. But when youâre bargaining, you are not supposed to show them that you are interested in their antiques. Otherwise, they will ask experts to evaluate the antique.â
Tang Li looked enlightened. âI see.â
After the conversation ended, Tang Li asked her, âIs your father still gambling?â
Xiang Wanwan immediately stopped smiling and looked downcast.
Tang Li knew from her expression that the answer was yes, so she asked, âDo you have any paper with you?â
âIs tissue okay?â
âSure.â
Xiang Wanwan took out a packet of tissues and passed one to Tang Li.
Tang Li unfolded the piece of paper and quickly drew on it with one hand before handing it to Xiang Wanwan. âWhen you get back, burn this piece of paper and let your dad drink it. If he dares to gamble again, his heart will ache.â
Xiang Wanwan took the piece of paper from Tang Li and lowered her head to take a look. When she saw the talisman on it disappear, her eyes widened in shock. She then looked at Tang Li in admiration. âMiss Tang, youâre amazing.â
The corners of Tang Liâs lips curled up. âYou can also become very powerful.â
Xiang Wanwanâs ambition was instantly ignited. She nodded at Tang Li and looked at the time before saying to her, âMiss Tang, Iâm going to set up my stall. See you next time.â
âSee ya.â
After Xiang Wanwan left, Tang Li continued to stroll around the antique street.
There were many antiques in the antique street, but very few of them had spiritual energy, let alone a container that could store souls.
Even so, she bought several antiques, all of which were expensive, but because of that, she was targeted by a few hooligans.
âShe must be from a rich family. She is probably here alone. Letâs go check out what she has on her.â
âWhat if she has friends?â
âWhatâs there to be afraid of?. Say she has friends, we can follow her to a remote place and attack her.â
âRight, weâll follow her to somewhere remote and then rob her. If she refuses, we canâ¦â
After discussing, they followed Tang Li.
âHey, isnât that Fourth Aunt? Why is she here in the antique city? Are those people following her?â
Xue Enyang, the grandson of the old manâs brother, who happened to see this scene, quickly turned to Qi Yihan, who was checking the accounts.
Xue Enyang did not particularly like Tang Li at all. He felt that she was not worthy of his fourth uncle.
When he saw her just now, he instinctively felt that Tang Li must be here to spend Fourth Uncleâs money again, so he told Qi Yihan.
When Qi Yihan heard this, he suddenly looked up from the accounts book.
Xue Enyang quickly pointed towards Tang Li. âI saw several boxes containing antiques in her hand. She bought them from some high-end antique shops.â
After saying that, he muttered, âIsnât she afraid of getting robbed holding expensive antiques on the street like that? Itâs obvious that those people who are following her are up to no good. Fourth Uncle⦠Fourth Uncle, where are you going?â
Qi Yihan did not reply.
âIs Fourth Uncle going to save Fourth Aunt?â Xue Enyang was inexplicably excited and immediately followed.
â¦
Tang Li knew that someone was following her. As it happened, she also wanted to find local people who were familiar with this place and asked them where she could find some good stuff, so she went out of the street.
There was an area at the back of the antique street that was specially designated for trucks to park. Trucks that carried antiques usually came in the middle of the night, but during the day, it was quite desolate.
When she walked over, it was empty and quiet.
Tang Li walked for a while before stopping. At the same time, she turned around to look at the few hooligans who were following her.
When the few hooligans saw Tang Li stop and turn around, they were so stunned that they swallowed their saliva.
A man with a face full of pockmarks swallowed his saliva and said in a playful tone, âHey pretty chick, weâre a little tight on cash. Why donât you lend us some money to spend?â
The other one immediately added, âYes, as long as you lend us some money to spend, we will let you go. Otherwise⦠hehe!â
Tang Li looked at them and asked, âIf I donât lend it to you, what will you do to me?â
âWe donât usually get our hands on girls unless they piss us off.â
âOh, really?â
âIf you take out some money obediently and give it to us, we wonât touch you. You can choose.â
âWhat if I donât wanna choose?â
âThen donât blame us for being rude.â
After saying that, they walked towards her fiercely.
Tang Li moved her wrist. To deal with these hooligans, she didnât mind using force.
Shortly after the fight started, the group of hooligans were all beaten to the ground and rolled around, holding their stomachs.
Tang Li clapped her hands and looked at them as she asked, âDo you guys wanna try again?â
The woman in front of them looked so beautiful that they thought she must be weak but they didnât expect her to be so powerful. It was indeed a hard lesson they learned today.
They were jobless hooligans who had been bullying people on this street for a long time. Seeing how powerful Tang Li was, they quickly got down on their knees and begged for mercy.
âPlease, no, donât. Madam, itâs our fault. We should not underestimate you. Madam, be magnanimous and let us off this time.â
â¦
âWhat makes you think Iâll let you off?â
Tang Li walked up to them and squatted beside one of them. She pulled out a fruit knife from his waist. As the manâs expression changed drastically, she patted the knife on his face and said with a smile, âYouâre really well-equipped. It seems like this is not the first time you tried to rob people. Iâm gonna get rid of evil for the people today. How about I chop off one of your arms?â
âNo, no, no⦠Itâs illegal!â
The few of them were so frightened that they could not speak properly.
âIllegal? Isnât it illegal to rob people of their money? I think what I am doing right now is called self-defense.â
âWe, we, we⦠We didnât rob you!â
A powerful aura emanated from Tang Liâs body, giving people the impression that she was a princess of the royal family. âIf I said you robbed me, then you robbed me.â
The hooligans were speechless.
They started trembling, because they knew that with just a word from a rich and powerful person, they would die. They immediately started crying in fear.
âMadam, please let us go.. We have children and parentsâ¦â
