"Young lady, I've seen plenty of people like you who try to inflate prices and are blinded by greed. One hundred million taels of silver isn't just enough for your dilapidated house, it could build an imperial palace!"
Old Master Song narrowed his eyes, looking at Xiao Xitian with resentment. "You just blurt out whatever comes to mind, asking for the sky. It makes you seem very uneducated..."
As his words fell, everyone from the Old Yun family was enraged and rushed forward, surrounding Old Master Song.
How dare he say Sweet Baby was uneducated? This dog is tired of living...
"What are you doing? I'm a person of status. Are you going to hit me?" Old Master Song flinched, feeling a surge of fear.
Xiao Xitian smiled sweetly, tilting her small head to look at Old Master Song. "Uncle, whether I'm educated or not is debatable. Conversely, are you educated? You barge in uninvited, trespass into a private residence, walk around and point fingers in my yard without the owner's consent, and then you show off with a stack of paper money. You're rude and overbearing. It's not just about being uneducated anymore; you're uncivilized and lack morals..."
Her words were like cannonballs, blasting Old Master Song to a crisp, almost giving him a heart attack.
He never expected such a small girl to have such a sharp tongue, able to retort without using any vulgar language.
"Clearly... clearly, you're asking for too much. Who can afford one hundred million taels of silver!" Old Master Song mumbled.
Hearing this, Xiao Xitian chuckled. "You think it's too expensive? Then I'll give you another discount!"
With that, Xiao Xitian held out both her small hands, raising two middle fingers on each. "Here, look closely. Twenty million taels of silver. How's that for a discount?"
Old Master Song twitched his lips. He looked at Xiao Xitian's middle fingers. Although he didn't understand why she was showing them, he felt despised and insulted...
Seeing Old Master Song frozen in place, stammering and unable to speak, Xiao Xitian frowned slightly. "What? Still think it's too expensive? You can't even afford twenty million taels of silver, so why are you showing off at my place? You want to buy a house for your concubine, you're shouting orders and acting like a tyrant. If your parents knew you were being so extravagant and ostentatious outside, wouldn't they be so angry they'd turn into a giant balloon?"
"You, you..." Old Master Song clutched his chest and retreated several steps.
Meanwhile, Yun Jinshan and the others burst into laughter, almost choking.
Oh my, little aunt, how come I never noticed you were so good at arguing before?
Jin Xiaolou's face turned red from suppressing his laughter, and his eyes were filled with admiration and respect as he looked at Sister Xitian...
"What 'you'? Don't you like this house? Hurry up and pay!" Xiao Xitian reached out for the money.
Old Master Song, supported by others, had a darkening expression. "I, I don't have that much money!"
Xiao Xitian heard this and said, "Oh," shaking her little head. "Since that's the case, then you can pay five million taels..."
Old Master Song panted heavily, clenching his fists tightly. "No, no!"
"Eh? Tsk tsk, you don't even have five million taels?" Xiao Xitian sounded disappointed, scratching her face. "Then one million taels. This is the lowest price!"
Old Master Song gasped for air. "One million taels, I, I don't have it either!"
Xiao Xitian: "..."
See, this is clearly a fake rich person!
"Then what are you showing off for!" Yun Daman couldn't help but curse. "I thought you were rich enough to rival the nation, but you're just a bumpkin. Alas, it's true that small temples breed strong winds and shallow waters are full of turtles. What do you even amount to..."
"Oh, Daman, don't talk about him like that. He's about to cry!" Zhao Guihua added fuel to the fire.
Yun Erman heard this and chuckled. "It's okay, sister-in-law. Just let him cry. It's not a crime for men to shed tears. I've never seen a rich man cry. That scene must be a real eyesore, haha!"
Du Tieshan heard this and pinched Yun Erman, chiding him, "You country bumpkin, say a few less words!"
Old Master Song, who was about to faint from anger: "..."
Hey, can you guys stop talking? Don't you have any sympathy?
Xiao Xitian suppressed the urge to burst into laughter, winked at her mother, and then looked at Old Master Song again. "Mr. Millionaire, since you can't even afford one million taels, I'll reluctantly waive another fifty thousand taels for you. Pay the money now, and I'll immediately give you the deed and land certificate. How about that?"
Old Master Song: "..."
He couldn't even afford fifty thousand taels.
Is this little girl determined to finish him off today?
"I, I don't have it!" Old Master Song slowly lowered his head.
"Huh?" Xiao Xitian looked shocked, her expression extremely exaggerated and incredulous. "No way, no way. You're a local magnate, respected as Master Yuanwai, yet you don't even have fifty thousand taels of silver? Alas, you've disappointed me so much..."
In fact, Xiao Xitian wasn't doing this for money, but to thoroughly humiliate Old Master Song.
She had gradually lowered the price from one hundred million taels to fifty thousand taels, a huge span. Xiao Xitian could set any price she wanted.
It was precisely this act of asking for the sky that created a strong narrative arc. Coupled with Xiao Xitian's skill in retorting, she completely deflated the arrogant and overbearing Old Master Song...
Just then, Xiao Jinfeng walked over slowly, hands tucked into his sleeves, with Er Longzi trotting behind him.
"What's going on?" Xiao Jinfeng swept a cold glance at Old Master Song and asked in a deep voice.
Seeing that help had arrived, Jin Xiaolou stepped forward to report. "Young Master Xiao, this Master Song wants to buy this house but doesn't have the money to pay. He's currently 'bargaining' with Sister Xitian..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinfeng suddenly looked at Old Master Song, exuding a powerful aura. "Bold peasant! This house was built by His Highness the Crown Prince, no, by Young Master Xiao! It can not only escape the heat but also ward off the cold. How dare you, a mere bumpkin, covet the deed and land certificate? You're simply courting death!"
"That's right, courting death! He deserves a beating!" Er Longzi also craned his neck and cursed.
Old Master Song was thoroughly scolded and was no longer able to retort...
Helplessly, he turned to his companions for help. "Old, Old Sun, quickly say something on my behalf!"
They had agreed when they came that they would buy this house no matter what today, and his companions had promised to help him negotiate the price.
The middle-aged man called Old Sun glanced at Xiao Xitian, then carefully examined the distinguished Xiao Jinfeng, feeling a chill run down his spine.
He couldn't afford to offend these people.
Old Sun pushed Old Master Song away, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and ran towards the outside, saying as he ran, "Oh dear, I almost forgot. My son is pregnant, and I need to go back and take care of him. Sorry to bother you, goodbye!"
Everyone: "..."
