Dai Hengxin clearly misunderstood what Xiao Yingchun meant and explained with a smile, “If I come across that kind of situation, I’ll just tell the person directly to take it back. I’ll act like they never came.”

The key point: he would not report it to the police.

But Xiao Yingchun asked another question. “From what I see on those television shows about valuing antiques, each category has its own specialists. In running a pawnshop, you can’t expect people to just happen to bring in items in your area of expertise. What do you do when it’s a type you’re not good at appraising?”

Dai Hengxin grinned. “I call in someone — for example, my uncle.”

Xiao Yingchun suddenly understood, and couldn’t help but laugh.

So it wasn’t just medical students who called in reinforcements— archaeologists and appraisers also did when faced with professional problems they couldn’t handle.

It made sense that even top experts, when faced with something they couldn’t judge at a glance, would also be very curious and interested.

Throughout the entire meeting, Dai Hengxin never once probed into the origins of Xiao Yingchun’s items— he only brought up the things his grandfather had told him and asked about those.

“I heard that after your parents passed away last year, that aunt of yours caused you some trouble. Do you need help?”

Xiao Yingchun was surprised. “You’re a pawnshop owner specializing in cultural relics—can you even handle this sort of thing?”

Dai Hengxin smiled. “Who doesn’t have a couple of friends? As it happens, I have a senior schoolmate who’s a well-known lawyer in the city and runs a law firm.”

“If you need, I can help you set up a meeting.”

Xiao Yingchun sincerely thanked him, then politely declined. “I don’t need it for now—when I do, I’ll come find you.”

Dai Hengxin took the opportunity to suggest adding each other on WeChat.

Xiao Yingchun didn’t refuse.

Being Grandpa Zhao’s grandson, it wouldn’t be hard for him to find out about her situation anyway, so it was better to be open about it.

After a meal—she wasn’t sure whether to call it lunch or dinner—Dai Hengxin sent Xiao Yingchun back home.

As they were saying goodbye, Xiao Yingchun thought it over and finally made up her mind. “I still have some things—tomorrow I’ll bring them over to your place, can you help me take a look?”

Dai Hengxin couldn’t be happier. “Of course, no problem! What time tomorrow? I’ll be waiting for you.”

Xiao Yingchun thought for a moment. “Around noon?”

Dai Hengxin said, “No problem! I’ll be at the shop at noon then, and I’ll treat you to lunch.”

Xiao Yingchun studied Dai Hengxin’s expression, suspicion rising in her heart. Could this guy have taken an interest in her?

After Dai Hengxin left, just as Xiao Yingchun opened the shop door, she heard a familiar voice.

“Little Yingchun, I think I just saw someone drop you off?”

It was Grandpa Zhao, Zhao Jiping.

Seeing the elder’s smile, full of meaningful implication, Xiao Yingchun admitted openly, “It was Dai Hengxin—he treated me to a meal.”

“Oh…” Grandpa Zhao let the word linger. “My grandson graduated from a prestigious university, he’s handsome, and he knows how to do business—he’s very good!”

“Mhm, mhm, mhm—very good…” Xiao Yingchun played along without much enthusiasm while turning on the lights and fan, and only after some effort managed to see Grandpa Zhao off.

Looking at the nearly empty snack shelves, Xiao Yingchun quickly called Uncle Liang, asking him to send over some small packaged snacks tomorrow.

No, it’s too hot— even the wind from the fan was hot. Time to install air conditioning!

Xiao Yingchun immediately placed an order for an air conditioner on JD.com. Before long, someone called back to confirm the installation time.

-JD.com is China’s largest retailer by revenue.

Just after hanging up the phone and getting ready to do her accounts, a person walked in from outside.

“Yingchun, the people you owe payment to came to my house looking for you—why aren’t you paying your debts?”

Xiao Yingchun looked up and met a familiar face. It was her aunt, Ge Chunyu.
