Song Mian took it and opened the box. Looking at the antique necklace inside, his eyes curved with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Qi. Let's go. To thank you, I'll treat you to a meal."

Qi Yefeng is not picky about food. He doesn't care about expensive food, he only cares about delicious food, so the two of them went to a nearby steak restaurant together.

On the way, Song Mian asked Qi Yefeng about the price of the antique necklace, and also told Qi Yefeng the whole story.

"So, the beggar ghost that appeared in the funeral shop before is very likely to know your grandmother?"

"Yes, that's about what I meant. It's just that my grandma is having health problems right now, so I don't want to upset her too much. That's why I want to get to the bottom of everything before I go find her. Besides, Qian Xingyue definitely wouldn't dare lie to me in her current situation. I think my obsession with this antique necklace is enough to show that he and my grandma have a special relationship."

Song Mian vaguely remembered that her grandmother once said that she was adopted for a period of time when she was in her hometown.

But grandma was having a very bad life at that time, so if Chen Shubin was one of those who tortured her, she would not let him go easily.

Fortunately, she got what Chen Shubin wanted. Whether Chen Shubin could use this antique necklace 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, don't worry about paying back the money. Just pay it back when you have it. Besides, I came here today because I have something else I want 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 found out that a few decades ago, a man named Chen Shubin died in the wilderness. Not only did he have no family around him, but the people around him also had a very low opinion of him, to the point where he was despised by everyone."

"Then you can tell me what the specific situation is." Song Mian thought of Chen Shubin's tattered appearance when he appeared in front of him before. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Chen Shubin must have had a very difficult life before.

Qi Yefeng smiled wryly, "I don't know the details, but I know Chen Shubin's biggest problem is that he's not a good person, yet he took the initiative to get involved in your family's affairs. How can a ghost who can't be kind-hearted suddenly change his nature and become a good person?"

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

Speaking of which, Chen Shubin was indeed very impulsive as he left as soon as he said he would that day.

If Chen Shubin really knew his grandmother before, then everything would be clear.

But what kind of relationship does Chen Shubin have with grandma that could make a ghost so excited just by hearing something about their Song family?

"That's what I suspect. However, this information was collected decades ago, so I'm not sure if there's anything strange about it," Qi Yefeng said.

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 antique necklace with me. Today, I have handed the antique necklace 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.

"Of course." Song Mian agreed without hesitation. After finishing her meal, she rejected Qi Yefeng's suggestion to take her home for tea and asked Qi Yefeng to take her home directly.

After catching up on his sleep, Song Mian prepared to open the store in the evening.

Maybe it’s because she’s run the shop here for a long time, but she unexpectedly encountered a live customer when she opened the shop today.

Unlike the ghost guests coming from the backyard, every living guest who came to the funeral shop had a vague feeling of sadness.

After finishing the business with the living people, Song Mian soon saw Lin Jiaojiao and Chen Shubin coming over.

Lin Jiaojiao pushed open the glass door leading to the backyard, and as soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to fly to Song Mian's side: "Little Boss, how is the situation today? Did you successfully investigate it?"

Seeing Lin Jiaojiao so concerned, Song Mian realized that Qi Yefeng’s worries were right.

Jiaojiao is gentle and not wary at all, no wonder Qi Yefeng is worried that she is investing too much.

"The investigation has revealed the truth. Moreover, the antique necklace has been successfully obtained. Mr. Chen, according to the agreement, our transaction is now complete." Song Mian said, pushing the jewelry box aside to Chen Shubin.

Song Mian's mind moved, and the entire jewelry box became illusory and was delivered to Chen Shubin's hands.

Chen Shubin opened the jewelry box, picked up the antique necklace, and rubbed it against his face. "Yes, this is what I left behind... Boss, have you investigated the owner of this antique necklace?"

Under the expectant gazes of the two people in front of him, Song Mian said in a businesslike manner, "I don't know."

Chen Shubin froze and looked at Song Mian in disbelief: "You, what did you say?"
