Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Why Does She Take Away Two Hundred Thousand Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Why Does She Take Away Two Hundred Thousand Moreover, they ran a store, so he still understood this principle.
Therefore, the not-so-small guest room around the Eight Immortals table was filled with people.
When Gu Jiansheng brought out the Gold Jade Stone Carving, everyoneâs eyes straightened in an instant.
Because without any expectations and just watching for fun, seeing such an exquisite Jade Carving, how could they not be dumbfounded?
An experienced old shopkeeper carefully held the Jade Carving in his hand, taking up a magnifying glass to inspect it closely.
Yet, he discovered that the entire Jade Sculpture had almost no flaws.
Under the magnifying glass, the eagleâs feathers were incredibly clear, the texture was delicate, and indistinguishable from real feathers.
Most importantly, the sun in the sky was actually a gold nugget!
This was a rare piece of Gold Jade Stone.
The quality of the gold was average, the quality of the jade was also average, but the carving craftsmanship was astonishing, when these three perfectly combined together.
It became an unparalleled masterpiece.
The old shopkeeper put down the Gold Jade Stone Carving, feeling inexplicably reluctant to let it go.
It wasnât the finest jade, but it was extremely comforting to touch.
It seemed it could calm oneâs restless mood gradually.
This was a treasure.
Gu Jiansheng, that foolish boy, had silly fortune.
Two hundred thousand!
It was expensive.
But it was worth it!
Looking at the proud Gu Jiansheng, he couldnât possibly bring himself to speak ill of the Jade Carving.
He thought, this exquisite Jade Carving had spirit; if he spoke against his heart, the Jade Carving might be upset.
The old shopkeeper spoke up, âFoolish boy, willing to sell it or not, I offer two hundred and ten thousand.â
After others had looked at it, they all gave up their jestful attitude.
Itâs a marvel!
That was their unanimous conclusion.
Gu Jiansheng, hearing the old shopkeeperâs words and seeing everyoneâs expressions, couldnât have been prouder.
He raised his head and flatly refused, âNo amount of money will make me part with it, this is the treasure of Yubao Square!â
The others left with regret.
And Gu Jiansheng was more excited and thrilled than ever.
He walked back and forth in the room, unsure how to calm his emotions.
He thought, even his grandfather seeing this Jade Carving, would not speak poorly of it.
With the old shopkeeperâs words, this was the finest Jade Carving.
Probably this entire street could not find a Jade Sculpture, no, a Gold Jade Stone, carved so beautifully.
At this moment, Gu Jiansheng truly realized the value of this Gold Jade Stone.
Ning Wanru on a whim went shopping today, so she didnât receive the call from the internal line of Yubao Square in time.
Then, without any hindrance, Gu Jiansheng successfully purchased the Jade Carving.
He spent two hundred thousand!
Out of which, one hundred thousand had been gradually given by her over the years.
The other hundred thousand was the working capital of Yubao Square.
The most unbearable thing was that the girl who sold the Gold Jade Stone Carving and took away two hundred thousand was Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao!
That wretch!
How could she take away two hundred thousand? That money was hers and her sonâs.
Gu Qiaoqiao shouldnât take a single penny.
Ning Wanru trembled with anger.
She had Steward Wu drive, heading straight for Yubao Square, while also notifying Gu Cheng, who was handling Gu Kunâs affairs at the hospital, to head to Yubao Square immediately.
Unfilial son!
Heâs completely outrageous!
All the way there, Ning Wanruâs face was gloomy, as dark as the storm clouds in the sky.
They quickly reached the entrance of Yubao Square.
And Gu Cheng had just arrived as well.
They exchanged a glance, and Gu Cheng clenched his teeth, striding vigorously towards Yubao Square.
Inside the reception room, Gu Jiansheng was still admiring the Gold Jade Stone Carving.
This time, he used a magnifying glass.
He hadnât used it before, but after he did, he discovered endless mysteries.
And what Gu Cheng and Ning Wanru saw when they entered was this scene.
The scene was painfully glaring.
Seeing his grandmother and father walk in, Gu Jiansheng was taken aback but knew that he couldnât keep this from them.
However, today he felt unusually confident.
Because the Gold Jade Stone Carving he acquired had been recognized by the display cabinets on this street.
He held the Gold Jade Stone Carving with a beaming face, handing it to Gu Cheng as if presenting a treasure, âDad, take a look, Iâve got a treasure.â
Smack!
A crisp sound!
Gu Chengâs face turned livid as he slapped Gu Jianshengâs smiling, pale cheek.
Gu Jiansheng was stunned.
Ning Wanruâs expression was dark and menacing as she scolded, âYou fool, I told you not to contact that wretched person. Why didnât you listen, and why did you spend so much money on this junk?â
Gu Jiansheng placed the Gold Jade Stone Carving on the table, touched his aching cheek, and said hoarsely, âYou hit me without even looking? The old shopkeeper of Jubao Pavilion offered 210,000 to buy this Gold Jade Stone Carving and you still call it junk?â
Ning Wanru trembled with rage, yet she and Gu Jiansheng couldnât reveal the truth.
This child had a pure heart. If he knew that Qiaoqiao was a descendant of Gu Qingfeng, he might help that detestable girl recognize her relatives.
However, seeing this Gold Jade Stone Carving, Ning Wanru felt as if a huge stone was blocking her heart.
She stared intently at the Gold Jade Stone Carving and suddenly stepped forward to grab it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiansheng instinctively protected the Gold Jade Stone Carving, his eyes turning somewhat bloodshot, âThis is 200,000, and 100,000 of it is mine.â
Ning Wanru trembled with rage, the mention of the 200,000 exacerbated the pain as if it was cutting into her flesh.
She looked at the fuming Gu Cheng and cursed, âYou fool, look at the wonderful son youâve raised, who dares to oppose me.â
Gu Cheng looked at his son, stepped forward, held down the Gold Jade Stone Carving in Gu Jianshengâs arms, and, suppressing his anger, said, âJiansheng, let go, let your grandmother and I take a good look.â
These words seemed squeezed out between clenched teeth.
Gu Jianshengâs cheek burned with pain, his eyes filled with disbelief.
It was as if the person who had just hit him was a stranger.
How could it possibly be his father?
The only one who hit him was that dark-faced grandfather.
He protected the Gold Jade Stone Carving in his arms without loosening his grip.
Ning Wanru, seeing her most beloved grandson Gu Jiansheng protect the trash carved by that detestable Qiaoqiao, felt a boundless rage rise in her heart.
If Qiaoqiao were here, she thought, she would kill her.
What a regret.
If she had dealt with her sooner, none of these troubles would exist today.
Ning Wanru took a deep breath, softened her tone, âJiansheng, let me take a look at that jade carving, donât worry, for something that cost 200,000, your grandmother and father wouldnât be foolish enough to destroy it.â
Gu Jiansheng looked at the two people in front of him, placed the Gold Jade Stone Carving on the Eight Immortals table, but one hand still covered his face. Although he didnât blame his father for hitting him, his eyes were full of sadness.
He lowered his head, said nothing.
Ning Wanru picked up the Gold Jade Stone Carving, resisting the urge to smash it as she looked it over.
Her lips twitched.
