She wanted to show her best side to Song Baoshi, but things didn't go as she wished when she ran into the tough Lin Yifan, which was destined to be sad.

Despite being utterly disappointed with Wei Chengxue, he still had to pick up the Ruby necklace.

Because the Ruby on the necklace was the newest, largest, and most radiant Ruby their company had mined this year, of high value and not to be lost.

However, just as he was about to pick it up, Lin Yifan beat him to it.

This Ruby necklace was very beautiful, obviously of high quality; hence, how could Lin Yifan pass up such a good thing?

"Give it back to me!" Song Baoshi cried out in pain.

This was a sum of money, after all. Even if he didn't give it to Wei Chengxue, he could sell it for a good price, so he definitely wouldn't let Lin Yifan succeed easily.

"That won't do. I, Lin Yifan, won't let go easily of the thing I have my eyes on," Lin Yifan bluntly refused, and then he held the Ruby necklace in his hand to examine and admire it.

He felt the craftsmanship and quality of the necklace were excellent, among the best of the best, perfect for his sister to wear.

"I have already agreed to compensate you with more than fifty billion, you could buy any expensive necklace with that money, just give this one back to me," Song Baoshi begged desperately, truly not wanting to miss out on another expensive necklace.

Seeing Song Baoshi so pathetic, Lin Yifan relented and said, "Alright! Since it's like that, I will reluctantly pay one million for this necklace, and you just transfer fifty billion to me."

"Pfft!"

Song Baoshi was so angered that he almost spat blood; his necklace was worth at least ten million, yet Lin Yifan was taking it for one million, it was maddening.

"My lord! You think..."

Just when he wanted to bargain, Lin Yifan stopped him.

"Alright, alright! Isn't one million enough? If you complain more, I won't give you a single penny."

Hearing this, Song Baoshi immediately shut up; the situation was in the other's hands, so he had to obediently do as told.

Now he had to take back as much as he could; losing another necklace for nothing would be a huge loss.

"Fine! You are the boss! You have the final say."

Song Baoshi hung his head in defeat, devoid of his usual pride.

Now he was no more than a sick cat and could no longer play the tiger.

Hearing this, everyone was incredulous.

The once-commanding figure among Capital City's elite was now compromising and willingly being taken advantage of, which was unbelievable.

But it was also normal, for under someone else's roof, who can avoid bowing their head?

After saying this, Song Baoshi left.

Now, he truly became "Song Give-Away Gemstone."

When Song Baoshi was far away, the onlookers burst into laughter: "Haha! Song Baoshi, true to his name!"

"Pfft! I never thought he really would become 'Song Give-Away Gemstone' today. A long time ago, I felt he would live up to his name."

"I thought so too."

Hearing these words, Lin Yifan finally learned that the scion of the Clan whom he extorted was named Song Baoshi.

"Ah! It's a bit embarrassing, letting someone live up to their name. But it's good to live up to one's name after all; this way, nobody is going to be poor."

Lin Yifan sighed as he spoke in a lowly manner.

The staff at "Embroidery Home" never expected Lin Yifan to be so shameless, and now they feared this person of unknown origin.

If he dared to extort the young masters and misses from the Wei Family and the Song Family, "Embroidery Home" would be even less of a challenge for him.

Therefore, the shopkeeper came over with a bow, apologizing in a humble and low voice, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I really had no choice earlier and resorted to deceit, deliberately cheating you all, I truly am sorry!"

"Hmph! Is sorry any good? You've already deeply hurt me," Lin Yifan responded, not planning to let the shopkeeper off so easily.

"Then, Mr. Lin, what can we do to earn your forgiveness?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

She had an uneasy feeling, thinking that Lin Yifan would surely ask her to give away the limited edition Xue Lanfu floral-refreshing dress to his sister for free.

As expected, that was exactly what Lin Yifan requested.

"Give my sister the limited edition dress she's wearing, free of charge!" Lin Yifan answered.

"This..." The shopkeeper of Embroidery Home found herself in a difficult position.

Because she was just an employee working for the company, earning at most tens of thousands a month; and the limited edition Xue Lanfu dress was priced at nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine. That meant if she were to pay out of her own pocket and give the dress to Lin Yifei for free, she would need to work over a year without pay to settle all the debt.

For a woman of her modest means, this was a heavy blow.

Seeing the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home hesitate, Lin Yifan asked with a threatening tone, "What? You don't want to give it?"

"Not at all! Mr. Lin, to be frank, I am just a shopkeeper at Embroidery Home, not the owner, so I can't afford such a big compensation," the shopkeeper replied with a distressed look, desperately anxious.

"Can't afford it? Then pay with one of your fingers!"

With that, Lin Yifan's expression turned cold, and he walked toward the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home with a bright red pair of scissors in his hand.

Watching this scene, the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home was terrified and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy, "Ah! Please! No! Mr. Lin, I beg you, have mercy, let me off this once! My family of five is still depending on me for support, please I beg of you!"

Seeing the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home so pitiful, Lin Yifei's heart softened, and she ran over to hold Lin Yifan's hand, persuading him, "Brother! Let her go! After all, she's working hard for others, and it's not easy."

And seeing the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home so terrified, and not appearing to be lying, Lin Yifan decided to let her go.

"Alright then! Get up! For my sister's sake, I'll let you off this time, aren't you going to quickly thank my sister?"

The shopkeeper of Embroidery Home immediately thanked Lin Yifei, "Thank you to this beautiful miss, thank you, I'm really very grateful."

"Don't mention it!" While saying this, Lin Yifei helped the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home to her feet, "Auntie! Please get up, no need to kneel."

Feeling this warmth, the shopkeeper of Embroidery Home was moved to tears and confessed, "If I had known you were such good people, I wouldn't have sided with Miss Wei Chengxue."

"Ah! Enough of that, in the jianghu, we can't help ourselves. Even if you knew we were good people, you would have done the same. Unless you knew our background," Lin Yifan retorted.

Such confessions might deceive a child, but they wouldn't fool him.

The shopkeeper of Embroidery Home didn't argue, because what Lin Yifan said was right. If given another chance, she would still side with Miss Wei Chengxue, as she wouldn't risk offending a known power for an unknown one.
