"Yes. As long as he's willing to be exposed to the outside world, that's enough. I don't have any other requirements for my adopted son." Ling Jiao took a sip of tea and continued, "However, this child has a stubborn temper. I hope Miss Song can be more tolerant. If he's really disobedient in any way, Miss Song can take action whenever necessary."

Seeing Ling Jiao's serious expression, Song Mian looked at the handsome young man in the photo again, and suddenly felt that he had become difficult to deal with.

After thinking about it, he agreed to let Ling Jiao contact Yu Bai temporarily. Song Mian and Qi Yefeng quickly followed the address provided by Ling Jiao and arrived at the luxury apartment where Yu Bai lived.

Yu Bai's home is located on the top floor of the apartment. After Song Mian and Qi Yefeng arrived at Yu Bai's door, they directly rang Yu Bai's doorbell.

There was silence inside the door. Just when Song Mian thought that Yu Bai was not at home, the closed door in front of him was pushed open from the inside.

A boy who was as pale as the one who appeared in the photo just now walked out.

Yu Bai was still opening the door, his eyes filled with doubt. He looked Song Mian up and down and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for you! Are you classmate Yu Bai? I'm Song Mian, sent by your father Ling Jiao to take care of you. Hello." As Song Mian spoke, he took the initiative to extend his hand towards Yu Bai enthusiastically.

However, Yu Bai not only did not show any friendliness to Song Mian, he even closed the door directly, leaving Song Mian in the cold.

"Thank you, but I don't need anyone to take care of me. Please go back." Yu Bai's voice was full of resistance. He locked the door without giving Song Mian a chance to say another word.

"We don't mean any harm, so you wouldn't be so repulsive to us, would you?" After knocking on the door to no avail, Qi Yefeng's expression became tangled. "Miss Song, I told you that what Commander Ling asked of us isn't that simple!"

"It seems like that... Forget it, let's go. I'll treat you to dinner first, and then we'll see how things go after dinner. If it doesn't work, we'll come back later." Song Mian really wanted to spend more time with Yu Bai.

But if Yu Bai insisted on keeping her out, and she couldn't get any good results after trying, then she would have no choice but to give up contacting Yu Bai.

Qi Yefeng couldn't bear to refuse Song Mian, so he went to a restaurant near Gongyu with Song Mian.

The two found a suitable private room. Qi Yefeng looked at Song Mian, who was sitting across from him, and said, "I heard that you encountered a female ghost from hell. Miss Song Mian, I think you might be able to deal with the female ghost first. Also, the situation with Chen Shubin's male ghost is still a little vague. Elder Lin appeared in my dream again last night, hoping that I would come and help you today. Young boss, do you suspect that there is something wrong with Chen Shubin?"

Qi Yefeng originally planned to help Song Mian, but he still told Song Mian that Lin Jiaojiao had also appeared.

"I knew Jiaojiao was thinking about me." Song Mian said, a relieved smile on his face. "It's not that I doubt he has any problems. Mr. Chen helped me after all, and I am grateful to him. Moreover, I have fulfilled Mr. Chen's wish, and our transaction is completely completed."

However, she suspected that there was something going on between Chen Shubin and her grandmother.

Fortunately, she got what Chen Shubin wanted. Whether Chen Shubin could use this pearl bracelet to find the person he wanted to see was no longer something she could control.

Seeing Song Mian's insistence, Qi Yefeng couldn't refuse: "Miss Song, I came here today because I have something to tell you."

Song Mian had been concentrating on eating the steak on the plate. It was not until he heard Qi Yefeng's words that he looked up at him curiously.

Qi Yefeng: "I'm actually quite interested in things like ghosts, so I asked someone to do a thorough investigation last night. I ended up finding the Chen family from about a hundred years ago, and I did get some basic information about Miss Chen."

"Then you can tell me about it. I think Chen Shubin will be very happy when he comes tonight and hears about the past." Song Mian couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he thought that he might be able to coax Chen Shubin to spend money again.

Who would have thought that Qi Yefeng would reveal a bitter smile: "Miss Song will probably be disappointed. Because, according to my research, the Chen family only had one daughter, Chen, at the time, and no male heirs. It was because of this that after Chen's father passed away, she was adopted by relatives, who started to eat up her family's wealth and even married her off in the end."

Song Mian paused while eating and looked up at Qi Yefeng: "In other words, Chen Shubin is lying?"

According to Chen Shubin, Chen was his sister, but there was no such person as Chen Shubin in the Chen family. This means that one of the Chen family and Chen Shubin must have lied.

"That's what I suspect. However, this information was obtained a full hundred years ago. I'm not sure if there's anything strange about it," said Qi Yefeng.

Song Mian nodded in agreement, then continued to eat his steak.

Seeing Song Mian's calm reaction, Qi Yefeng asked tentatively, "Miss Song, aren't you disappointed? Chen Shubin lied to us."

Song Mian raised his chin, his pair of clear black eyes filled with confusion: "Why should I be disappointed? Mr. Qi, your group has so many business partners. Are you honest with everyone?"

"Of course not..." Qi Yefeng seemed to have just reacted, and after curling the corners of his lips, he said, "It's my fault. I forgot that Miss Song is also a businessman."

"Jiaojiao and I have a good relationship because we are sincere to each other. But just because Jiaojiao is willing to get along with me doesn't mean I have to be good friends with every other customer. Yesterday, Chen Shubin exchanged so many antiques for this pearl bracelet with me. Today, I have handed the pearl bracelet to Chen Shubin, and my mission has been completed. As for the rest, I don't really care."

Song Mian said it calmly.

What she cared about was not Chen Shubin's story, nor did she care whether what Chen Shubin said to her was true or false.

Anyway, Chen Shubin did business with her, so she just had to serve the customers well. She had no interest in other things.

Qi Yefeng nodded, but in his heart he began to look at Song Mian with a new respect.

It is rare to find a girl as young and clear-headed as Song Mian.

"I feel that when Patriarch Lin knows the truth of the matter, he might be very disappointed. At that time, I would like to ask Miss Song to help persuade Patriarch Lin." Qi Yefeng said, picking up a piece of Orleans chicken wings on the table and handing it to Song Mian.
