Chapter 64: 63. Do you guess my uncle will break your legs?

Just as Fan Kai had thought, Ning Qing was also frowning slightly at this moment, and she spoke, "Ming Xuan, do you know them?"

Meng Mingxuan said with a smile, "Ning Jie, this is my brother and my sister-in-law."

"Hmm?" Ning Qing frowned even more; how had she never heard of these people?

Could they be some poor relatives of the Meng Family?

"This necklace?" Ning Qing didn't dwell on it; whoever they were, it had nothing to do with her, and right now, she just wanted the necklace.

Meng Mingxuan said with an embarrassed look, "About that, Ning Jie, my brother and sister-in-law aren't selling the necklace anymore. I'll treat you to a meal as an apology."

Of course, Meng Mingxuan couldn't let Zhang Sicheng and the others sell the necklace. It would have been one thing if he hadn't run into them, but since he had seen it, if he let them sell it, Zhang Ran probably wouldn't give him a pleasant look later.

Meng Mingxuan had to admit that since yesterday, he truly felt a tiny bit of fear in his heart toward this uncle, Zhang Ran.

Upon hearing this, Ning Qing's frown deepened. She really liked this necklace. "Ming Xuan, it's not that I'm not giving you face, but I really like this necklace. Besides, they had already said they would sell it, and now that I've come, they aren't selling it anymore—what is this supposed to mean?"

"If it's about the price, you don't need to worry; I'll pay the standard price," Ning Qing added, which was her way of giving Meng Mingxuan face.

Fan Kai, standing to the side, was getting a bit anxious, but after seeing Ning Qing signal to him, he knew his benefits would still be there, just not as many as originally expected.

Thinking of this, although Fan Kai felt some resentment in his heart, he could barely accept it. Who told him that Zhang Sicheng and the others knew people here, and that the relationship was quite good? He could only blame his own bad luck.

Just then, Wang Jiajia suddenly said, "Um, we never said we were going to sell it. From the very beginning, we only said we would ask about the price and the situation. If you don't believe me, look, here is the chat history."

She had caught on to some signs; it seemed this necklace was more valuable than she had imagined. In other words, was Fan Kai intending to cheat them?

It was fortunate that Zhang Sicheng and the others knew one of the people here. If they had really sold it at a loss, how would she, Wang Jiajia, have the face to see Liu Lu in the future?

So, seeing this situation, Wang Jiajia also took the initiative to speak up.

Once she said this, Ning Qing immediately looked at Fan Kai; what she had heard from Fan Kai was not this.

Meng Mingxuan had been a little awkward at first, but with Wang Jiajia saying that, he felt a bit more confident. He wasn't afraid of offending Ning Qing, but there was no need for it.

"Ning Jie, you heard it too; my brother and the others never said they definitely wanted to sell it," Meng Mingxuan said with a smile.

Afterward, he looked at Zhang Sicheng and said, "Cheng, actually, this is my fault. It's on me. Two days ago, my father told me that the renovation of your house would be handled by us, as a welcoming gift from my father to you. I just forgot about it for a moment. It's my fault, I'm sorry."

He was taking all the responsibility upon himself.

Zhang Sicheng was at a loss upon hearing this; how did it suddenly become a gifted renovation?

"This... this isn't appropriate, it's too valuable," Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu said simultaneously.

They could accept the house Zhang Ran had given them because, from the start, they had accepted the fact that Zhang Ran was their father and father-in-law, even if they couldn't get past the mental hurdle of calling him that yet.

But if Meng He said he was gifting them a renovation, the favor would be too great for them; they dared not accept it.

Ning Qing kept watching them without rushing to speak; she was also weighing things. The others were just watching the spectacle from the sidelines; as long as Meng Mingxuan and Ning Qing didn't start a fight, they wouldn't randomly intervene.

At this moment, Zixuan spoke up, "Cheng, sister-in-law, you really shouldn't talk about value. If we go by what you say, should I have to pay the difference for this necklace of mine, and Ming Xuan for the bracelet on his wrist?"

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They knew Zhang Ran had also given gifts to Meng Mingxuan and Zixuan, but they didn't know what they were.

Now it seemed they were items worth millions, and it didn't seem like just one million; it should be more than that.

This left them feeling dazed for a moment. Was their own father (father-in-law) always this generous?

But then they recalled Zhang Ran's situation at the time; he probably didn't even know how much these things were worth.

Meng Mingxuan secretly gave his sister a thumbs-up. Once she said that, Zhang Sicheng and the others wouldn't know how to refuse.

Meng Mingxuan added fuel to the fire, "That's right, Cheng. If you put it that way, then I'll return this bracelet to you right now."

As he spoke, Meng Mingxuan made a move to take off the bracelet, but he was quickly stopped by Zhang Sicheng.

"No, no, this is a gift given to you, how can we take it back?" Zhang Sicheng said hurriedly.

"Exactly, you also said it was a gift given to us, so it's only natural for my father to reciprocate," Meng Mingxuan said, seizing the opportunity.

This time, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu could only offer a bitter smile, though they were also curious about the relationship between their father (father-in-law) and Meng He.

Seeing that they had finished, Ning Qing suddenly spoke, "How about this: I'll add another million. I want this necklace."

In the end, she decided to take the necklace; she liked it too much. From the first glance, she hadn't been able to look away.

She didn't believe that Meng Mingxuan and Zixuan would truly fall out with her over these two people; at worst, she would just apologize to the Meng siblings later.

Zhang Sicheng and the others understood it as one million plus another million, a direct doubling of the price, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

However, at this moment, Meng Mingxuan quietly walked to Ning Qing's side and whispered to her, "Ning Jie, do you think I'm helping them? Logically speaking, your price isn't low, and they wouldn't be at much of a loss, so why do you think I'm so insistent on stopping you?"

Ning Qing frowned. What did Meng Mingxuan mean by this?

If he wasn't helping Zhang Sicheng and the others, was he helping her?

Meng Mingxuan continued in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you see my sister's necklace and my bracelet? They were all given by this uncle of mine, who is also their father."

Actually, Ning Qing had caught a bit of this from their conversation earlier, but because she didn't know the true situation, she only half-understood.

"Then what do you mean? Are they playing me for a fool?" Ning Qing said, somewhat annoyed.

She was actually more annoyed with Fan Kai, because Fan Kai had practically sworn to her yesterday that there would be no problem, but the reality was that Zhang Sicheng and the others had no intention of selling.

Meng Mingxuan chuckled, "Do you know why I was drinking and venting with you guys yesterday?"

Ning Qing frowned again. Yesterday, Meng Mingxuan really did seem like he was venting about something, but when asked, he wouldn't say what it was.

"Yesterday afternoon, this uncle of mine, practically in front of Tian Yaohui, broke the legs of his future in-law. And my uncle is currently at the amusement park playing with his grandson." Meng Mingxuan's tone sounded very relaxed, as if it were nothing major.

But Ning Qing's pupils constricted. Of course, she knew who Tian Yaohui was, and she knew even better what it would mean if what Meng Mingxuan said was true.

"If you really force a purchase of this wedding gift he gave them today, do you guess whether this Zhang Shu of mine will break your legs, and whether Ning Shu will be able to stop him?"

Although Meng Mingxuan didn't know what kind of person Zhang Ran had been in the past, ever since experiencing yesterday's events, he knew it was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.
