SAG -Chapter 63 Do You Think My Uncle Would Break Your Legs?

Just as Fan Kai had expected, Ning Qing frowned slightly and asked, “Mingxuan, you know them?”

Meng Mingxuan smiled.

“Sister Ning, this is my older brother and my sister-in-law.”

“Hm?”

Ning Qing frowned even more.

She had never heard of these people before.

Could they be some poor relatives of the Meng family?

She didn’t think much about it.

Who they were had nothing to do with her.

All she wanted was the necklace.

“What about the necklace?”

Meng Mingxuan looked apologetic.

“Well… Sister Ning, my brother and sister-in-law aren’t selling the necklace anymore.”

“I’ll treat you to dinner as an apology.”

There was no way Meng Mingxuan could let Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu sell it.

If he hadn’t seen it himself, that would be another matter.

But now that he had…

If they still sold it, Zhang Ran probably wouldn’t give him a pleasant look afterward.

Meng Mingxuan had to admit that ever since yesterday, he had developed a small but genuine fear of this uncle of his.

Hearing this, Ning Qing frowned even deeper.

“It isn’t that I’m refusing to give you face.”

“I really like this necklace.”

“They said they were selling it. Now that I’ve come, suddenly they aren’t?”

“What is this supposed to mean?”

Then she added, “If it’s about the price, don’t worry. I’ll pay the market value.”

That was already giving Meng Mingxuan face.

Standing nearby, Fan Kai became anxious.

However, Ning Qing subtly signaled to him.

He immediately understood.

He would still receive his commission.

It just wouldn’t be nearly as much as originally planned.

Though unwilling, he could only accept it.

After all, these sellers happened to know someone close to Ning Qing.

He could only chalk it up to bad luck.

Just then, Wang Jiajia suddenly spoke up.

“Actually… we never said we were definitely selling it.”

“From the very beginning, we only wanted to ask about its value.”

“If you don’t believe me, here’s our chat history.”

She had finally realized something.

The necklace seemed to be worth far more than she had imagined.

Which meant…

Fan Kai had intended to take advantage of them.

Fortunately, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu happened to know someone present.

If they had unknowingly sold it at a huge loss…

How could she ever face Liu Lu afterward?

So Wang Jiajia immediately stepped forward.

The moment she spoke, Ning Qing looked toward Fan Kai.

Because what Fan Kai had told her wasn’t like this at all.

Meng Mingxuan had felt a little awkward earlier.

But Wang Jiajia’s explanation instantly gave him confidence.

He wasn’t afraid of offending Ning Qing.

He simply felt there was no need.

“Sister Ning, you heard her.”

“My brother never said he was definitely selling it.”

He smiled.

Then he turned toward Zhang Sicheng.

“Brother Sicheng, honestly, this is my fault.”

“My dad told me a couple of days ago that he’d take care of renovating your house as a meeting gift.”

“I completely forgot.”

“It’s my fault.”

As he spoke, he deliberately took all the responsibility upon himself.

Zhang Sicheng was stunned.

“What?”

“A complete renovation?”

“This… this isn’t appropriate.”

“It’s far too valuable.”

Both he and Liu Lu objected at once.

They could accept Zhang Ran buying them a house.

From the very beginning, they had already accepted Zhang Ran as their father and father-in-law.

Emotionally they still needed time, but they had acknowledged that relationship.

But if Meng He also gave them an entire home renovation…

The favor would simply be too great.

They couldn’t accept it.

Ning Qing quietly watched without interrupting.

She was weighing the situation.

The others merely stood by to watch.

As long as Meng Mingxuan and Ning Qing didn’t start arguing, nobody intended to interfere.

At that moment, Meng Zixuan spoke.

“Brother Sicheng, Sister-in-law… if we’re talking about value…”

“Then shouldn’t I and Mingxuan pay you the difference for my necklace and his bracelet too?”

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu exchanged helpless glances.

Neither knew what to say.

They knew Zhang Ran had given gifts to Meng Mingxuan and Meng Zixuan as well.

But they had never known what those gifts were.

Now it seemed…

They were jewelry worth over a million yuan.

Perhaps far more than just one million.

Both of them were completely bewildered.

Was their father (father-in-law) really this generous?

Then they remembered Zhang Ran’s circumstances back then.

Perhaps…

He simply hadn’t known how much these things would eventually be worth.

Meng Mingxuan secretly gave his sister a thumbs-up.

Her words had left Zhang Sicheng with no way to refuse.

Adding fuel to the fire, Meng Mingxuan continued, “Exactly.”

“Brother Sicheng, if you’re saying that…”

“Then I’ll return this bracelet right now.”

He even pretended to take it off.

But Zhang Sicheng hurriedly stopped him.

“No!”

“You absolutely can’t.”

“That was a gift!”

“How could we take back something we’d already given?”

Meng Mingxuan immediately smiled.

“Exactly.”

“You said yourself—it was a gift.”

“So my dad giving you a renovation in return is only proper etiquette.”

At that point, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu could only smile bitterly.

At the same time, they became increasingly curious about the relationship between Zhang Ran and Meng He.

After they had finished speaking, Ning Qing suddenly said, “How about this?”

“I’ll add another one million.”

“I want this necklace.”

In the end, she still decided to buy it.

She simply loved it too much.

The moment she’d seen it, she hadn’t been able to take her eyes off it.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu interpreted her words literally.

Another one million…

On top of one million.

Double the price.

They were speechless.

At that moment, Meng Mingxuan quietly walked over beside Ning Qing and whispered so only the two of them could hear.

“Sister Ning…”

“Do you think I’m helping them?”

“To be honest, your offer isn’t low.”

“They wouldn’t really be losing out.”

“So why do you think I’m insisting on stopping you?”

Ning Qing frowned.

What exactly was he implying?

He wasn’t helping Zhang Sicheng…

Was he helping her instead?

Meng Mingxuan continued softly, “See my sister’s necklace?”

“And my bracelet?”

“My uncle gave both of them to us.”

“And he’s also their father.”

Actually, Ning Qing had already pieced together a little from everyone’s conversation.

But since she didn’t know the full story, she only understood bits and pieces.

“So what are you trying to say?”

“They’re just playing me?”

She sounded irritated.

In truth, she was even angrier with Fan Kai.

Yesterday he had practically sworn there would be no problems.

Yet in reality…

The sellers had never firmly intended to sell.

Meng Mingxuan chuckled.

“Do you know why I asked everyone out drinking yesterday?”

Ning Qing frowned again.

He had indeed looked like he was venting something yesterday.

Everyone had asked, but he’d refused to explain.

“Yesterday afternoon…”

“My uncle broke both legs of Tian Yaohui’s future in-laws.”

“Practically right in front of Tian Yaohui.”

“And right now…”

“My uncle is at an amusement park with his grandson.”

Meng Mingxuan spoke as though it were no big deal.

But Ning Qing’s pupils instantly contracted.

She knew exactly who Tian Yaohui was.

If what Meng Mingxuan was saying was true…

The implications were enormous.

Meng Mingxuan leaned closer and quietly finished, “If you force this purchase today…”

“This necklace is the wedding gift he personally gave them.”

“So tell me…”

“Do you think my Uncle Zhang would break your legs?”

“And even if Uncle Ning stepped in…”

“Do you think he’d be able to stop him?”

Meng Mingxuan still didn’t know exactly what kind of person Zhang Ran had been in the past.

But after witnessing everything yesterday…

He knew one thing for certain.

His uncle was far more formidable than he had ever imagined.
