Chapter 188 - 188 Are You Not Awake Yet?

Bai Chuwei looked at the man squatting in front of her and added, “And this jade is just so big… just good enough to make two jade talismans… ”

One prone to illness and easily tricked, the other beaten to death in the original text—these two are in desperate need, aren’t they?

And speaking of closeness, Bai Ze is her cousin in name, while Qi Mo is her Nth generation junior.

Suddenly, Bai Chuwei hooked her arm around Duan Feihan’s neck, the faint scent of medicine flooding his nostrils.

Bai Chuwei’s voice was seductive, “Hanhan, what do you think of my treatment of Qi Mo? You could also…”

Before Bai Chuwei could finish her sentence, several urgent footsteps approached swiftly from afar; someone had already rushed into the third-floor parlor.

The bodyguards, just having relaxed, were now on full alert, their muscles tensing as they vigilantly eyed the newcomer.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Duan Xiuqi took off his duckbill cap and explained at a breakneck pace, “I was going to pay Bai Chuwei’s debt… Fourth Brother?”

Duan Xiuqi, Tong Yunrou, and Tong Qingyan looked at Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan in shock, their posture utterly unexpected.

The young girl was sitting on the sofa, her arm hooked around the heir of the Duan Family’s neck…

Tong Qingyan’s eyes reddened in an instant!

Duan Feihan gently pulled down Bai Chuwei’s hand from his neck and stood up from the carpet, glancing sideways at Duan Xiuqi, “No need for Third Brother to worry.”

Tong Qingyan, somewhat distraught, bit her lip and asked softly, “Could it be… Elder Brother Four helped the Bai student pay off her debt?”

Or was it the young Master Qi?

Tong Qingyan took a deep breath, her voice gentle, “Bai student, from now on, you mustn’t be so headstrong, or else others will have to bear the responsibility for you.”

Bai Chuwei raised an eyebrow in response, “Are you still asleep?”

Tong Qingyan was startled—was there something wrong with what she had said? If Bai Chuwei hadn’t been so willful and insisted on attending the auction, would this situation of not being able to pay have arisen?

Tong Qingyan felt her face flush with irritation because of Bai Chuwei and was about to speak when a middle-aged man in a suit swiftly exited the third-floor parlor.

Li Sheng was stunned to see the crowd in the hall, “Why are there so many people here?”

Bai Chuwei smiled as she extended her fair hand towards Li Sheng.

Li Sheng quickly comprehended, reverently placing a gold card in Bai Chuwei’s palm, his tone humble, “Miss Bai, there’s six million in here, it’s already been transferred.”

The entire scene erupted in amazement!

Tong Qingyan was astounded, “Six million?”

Wasn’t it Bai Chuwei who couldn’t pay the auction house? How come it was the auction house’s owner giving her money instead?

This world was getting a bit too fantastical.

The debtor not only had not been sent to the police station, but the creditor was the one giving money…

Giving money back!

No one at the scene had ever witnessed such a maneuver!

Bai Chuwei watched as Li Sheng had his assistant hand the medicine box to Duan Feihan; then, satisfied, she turned to walk outside.

Li Sheng followed her step by step, “Miss Bai… Fairy Bai!”

Bai Chuwei’s slender finger lightly scraped her chin as she spoke meaningfully, “Xiaoli, the fake Cuiyu Porcelain Vase you sold to my second cousin last time… made me very unhappy.”

Li Sheng’s face turned green as he hastily assured, “Don’t worry, I will replace it with a new one for your brother tomorrow.”

Antiquities are all about discernment; if you end up with a fake, you’re just out of luck, and no one else is to blame.

But Bai Chuwei was different!

She was someone who could make jade talismans out of ordinary leaves!

“Chuwei, Chuwei!” High heels clacked behind her as Tong Yunrou hurriedly approached.

Bai Chuwei frowned and took a step back, “What’s the matter?”

Tong Yunrou eagerly took Duan Xiuqi’s arm, smiling at Bai Chuwei, “Actually, it’s like this, I’m about to marry Xiuqi soon, and we’re still short a bridesmaid. Would you be willing to be my bridesmaid at our wedding?”
