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, “Miss, are you really willing to give me 100,000 yuan for this antique?”
After the woman walked over, she didn’t even look at the middle-aged man. She first glanced at Tang Li before looking at Xiang Wanwan. She said in a sarcastic tone, “Hey! Isn’t this Xiang Wanwan, who is lusting after my boyfriend? What’s the matter? You can find a sugar daddy so you found a sugar mommy instead?”
At this point, she leaned towards Xiang Wanwan and gritted her teeth. “I didn’t know you are into women as well.”
“Wang Lu, what are you talking about?” Xiang Wanwan frowned. She first glanced at Tang Li apologetically before returning Wang Lu’s gaze seriously. “It’s Zhang Pengfei who’s always harassing me. I’ve never liked him.”
“Nonsense!” These words instantly made her explode. “Why in the world would Pengfei fall for someone who had nothing good about her? If you didn’t seduce him, why would he buy you a gift?”
“Humph!” Xiang Wanwan retorted, “Instead of blaming me here, you should ask Zhang Pengfei why when I rejected him over and over, he is still harassing me.”
“You’re the one who seduced him! I’ll kill you today!”
Wang Lu raised her hand to hit Xiang Wanwan.
Xiang Wanwan didn’t 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, “What are you doing?”
Tang Li raised her eyebrows and advised her kindly, “Miss, we’re adults so we can talk. Do we have to resort to violence?”
“Did you have any problem with me teaching a mistress who seduced my boyfriend?”
Wang Lu struggled free from Tang Li’s grip and took two steps back. She rubbed her hand that was hurt by Tang Li and gritted her teeth. “Believe it or not, if I call people over, every one of them will agree to me hitting a mistress.”
Then she pointed at Xiang Wanwan.
Xiang Wanwan was so angry that her face turned red. “I told you I didn’t seduce Zhang Pengfei. He was the one who harassed me.”
“Impossible!”
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, “Miss, are you buying my antique or not? If not, I’ll sell them to someone else.”
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, “If you don’t want it, it’ll 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 don’t care if it’s counterfeit or not as long as I am happy with my purchase. If you’re thinking the same and are richer than me, then hurry up and buy it.”
Wang Lu was not short of money. When she heard Tang Li’s 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, “100,000 yuan is nothing. It’s not like I can’t afford it.”
After saying that, she took out her card from her bag and asked the middle-aged man, “Card or cash?”
“Cash, I want cash.” The middle-aged man looked at the card, and his eyes lit up. He quickly rubbed his hands and said, “Miss, there’s an ATM not far ahead. I’ll bring you there now.”
“Sure.”
When Wang Lu left, she sneered at Tang Li and said, “You’ll regret being friends with Xiang Wanwan.”
Tang Li replied seriously, “Well, I’ll 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?”
Wang Lu was furious. “Your family will go bankrupt!”
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, “Can 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.”
Wang Lu was speechless.
“Humph, people like you don’t deserve my time.”
After saying that, he gave Xiang Wanwan a look that said, “Just you wait.” Then she left with the middle-aged man angrily.
Looking at the departing figure, Tang Li rubbed her chin and sighed. “Sigh, the ignorant are so scary.”
“Miss Tang…”
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Xiang Wanwan and asked, “Aren’t you still a student? It’s Friday today. What are you doing here?”
“I don’t have class in the afternoon, so I wanted to buy some cheap stuff and set up a stall at night.”
“…” Tang Li was surprised by how brainless the female lead was to come to the antique street to buy cheap stuff.
“Did you buy any?”
“Not yet, but I’ve already settled on some. I’ll go over and talk about the price later with the boss.”
Tang Li thought that she was just trying her luck by coming over, so she followed suit. “Alright, I’ll go see how you bargain.”
She had never bargained, and she wanted to learn.
Xiang Wanwan naturally didn’t mind, so the two of them set out.
On the way, Xiang Wan talked about the money she owed Tang Li. “I’m working hard to earn money now. I’ll try my best to return the money I owe you as soon as possible.”
“Sure.”
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.
After Xiang Wanwan got closer, she squatted down and chose a lot of small items before bargaining with the boss.
The boss said, “Considering that you want a lot, I will give you a reasonable price. How about five thousand yuan.”
Tang Li used her consciousness to ask the Book Spirit in Wanwan’s mind.
“How far have the female lead and male lead progressed?”
“They’ve only met once.”
The Book Spirit told her about their meeting. It didn’t sound romantic at all. The female lead was almost killed by the male lead.
The Book Spirit grumbled, “I 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.”
Tang Li frowned and asked, “You and the artifact spirit should not exist in this book. Now that you are here, will you two break the rules in the book?”
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.
“No, the Artifact Spirit swallowed the book spirit of this book when we came in, so we’ve already blended in.”
“That’s good.”
Tang Li was relieved and retracted her consciousness. She happened to hear Xiang Wanwan say, “Sir, five hundred, not a penny more and not a penny less. If you think this price is alright, we’ll seal the deal right now. I am not a layman so don’t ever think about playing tricks with me, I know exactly how much these are.”
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. “Miss Tang, I saw you have been staring at this hairpin.. You can take it if you want.”
