To prepare these items for Ding Ningdie, Ning Shu felt like she’d pretty much used all her knowledge.


    Especially with the body lotion. After finishing it, Ning Shu left clear instructions for applying it after a shower for best results.


    Then, Ning Shu notified Lian Min toe pick up the items.


    Lian Min examined what Ning Shu had made and nodded approvingly. “You really put thought into this. I thought since it was for your sister, you might be half-hearted about it.”


    Ning Shuughed. “How could I? If I half-heartedly made something, it would reflect poorly on my reputation. I’m more worried she won’t even use it since I made it.”


    Lian Min nced at Ning Shu, picked up the items, and prepared to leave.


    Ning Shu asked, “I heard your family’s going to bid.”


    Lian Min replied, “Of course. All the wealthy families in the city want that plot ofnd.”


    Ning Shu shook her head. “With that muchpetition, it’ll cost a fortune.”“Yes, my eldest brother and second brother both want thatnd,” Lian Min said.


    “That plot will go for hundreds of millions.” Lian Min furrowed his brows. “It’s a bit pricey.”


    Ning Shu shook her head. “You’re overvaluing thatnd, and there’s a real estate bubble about to burst. Even if there isn’t one now, it doesn’t mean the value will stay this high. It’s not worth it.


    “Instead of fighting over one piece ofnd, it’s better to do something else.”


    Lian Min looked at Ning Shu. “Don’t mess with me again. Last time, after working with you, my brother gave me an earful. Asking you to make this is my apology for that.


    “My brother was furious, ming me for rashly going against Bai Hanmo.”


    Ning Shu hadn’t interacted with Lian Min’s brothers, but with the amount they were nning to spend on thisnd…


    And considering there was an ancient tomb site underground and it was an enormous one at that…


    The tomb site was a burial ground for an ancient n, and it had caused a huge stir when discovered.


    This meant thend could no longer be usedmercially.


    Also, excavation would take a long time.


    So now, thend was practically worthless.


    The Lian family was also heavily impacted, and their money vanished without a trace. “Besides, Bai Hanmo has already lost a lot of money buying thepany for his father-inw. If the Bai family wins thisnd, isn’t that a good thing?”


    “And anyway, a piece ofnd is just dirt. Who knows what’s beneath it?” Ning Shu shrugged, making light of it.


    “You just want revenge on your fiancé and your sister. Why drag my family into this?”


    “I’m not. I’m just advising you. Instead of spending that money onnd, it’s better to deal with the Bai family, who dominates the market.”


    If the Bai family wanted to bankrupt a smallpany, they could do it in minutes. They had the money to dominate.


    Even if there was a price war,petitors couldn’t keep up and wouldn’t even recoup their capital.


    But the Bai family wouldn’t care.


    They were a monopoly.


    Ning Shu really didn’t understand why this twisted market economy had no regtions and why the government didn’t intervene.


    Another possibility was thatpanies like the Bai family’spany contributedrge amounts of tax revenue, so the authorities looked the other way.


    Previously, Bai Hanmo had spent over a hundred million. If he won thisnd, it’d be enough to give him a good setback.


    Lian Min simply asked, “Is my mom’s beauty paste ready?”


    “It’s ready,” Ning Shu said, taking it out of the refrigerator. While at it, she handed Lian Min the burn ointment.


    Lian Min’s face turned serious as she prepared to leave. Ning Shu said, “You should listen to me. Thatnd doesn’t seem right, and the feng shui is bad.”


    Lian Min couldn’t help but scoff at Ning Shu. “You’re being superstitious.”
