Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Praising the High and Trampling the Low Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Praising the High and Trampling the Low Qin Xiaoyu chattered with Gu Qiaoqiao and told her that because Gu Qiaoqiao had won back the Jade Flute and discovered the pearl bracelet Grandpa Gu had gifted to the Old Matriarch, she had become a legendary heroine in her classmates’ eyes.

At that time, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t even know that the family recognition banquet and the announcement of her being the Gu Family’s successor hadn’t sparked much interest among the people.

Instead, it was the Jade Flute that became the highlight of the banquet.

Later, when they learned how Gu Qiaoqiao, a nineteen-year-old girl, had won back the Jade Flute, she took on a mysterious aura in the eyes of those secluded noblewomen.

Earlier, those women who had mocked Shen Manru were now incredibly envious.

Especially Qin Yize’s second and third aunts, who had praised Gu Qiaoqiao immensely after the banquet.

This was a classic case of elevating one person while degrading another.

But, after all, many people in this world are just like that, aren’t they!

What also moved these women was the pearl cultivated inside the Jade Flute.

A pearl cultivated within jade.

It was the first time many had heard of such a thing.

Let alone a pearl that had been cultivated in the Jade Flute for fifty years.

Later, when speaking with the Old Matriarch, their conversations were mostly aimed at getting a glimpse of that pink pearl bracelet.

Just the thought of it filled them with excitement.

Fifty years, half a century!

They believed that the bracelet had become a priceless treasure.

Shen Manru, being a woman as well, was naturally amazed.

And she also felt honored by the association.

However, it was a pity that she knew so little.

Now, hearing Xiao Yu ask about the Jade Flute, she hurriedly asked Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, did you know beforehand that the Jade Flute was your grandfather’s?”

“I didn’t know, I only wagered on it after hearing it was from Yubao Square.”

“Qiaoqiao, how then did you find out that the Jade Flute was a relic of your grandfather?”

As Grandma Qin was talking with her eldest grandson, she too became interested and curiously asked.

Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t expected that after all this time, the Qin family would still be so interested in these events.

But indeed, they had known that Gu Qiaoqiao and Chu Chengfeng had gone out and won back a Jade Flute.

They hadn’t realized, however, that there was such a touching story involved.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood up, “I will bring the Jade Flute over, and then you will understand.”

The Jade Flute had been kept in Gu Qiaoqiao’s bag and she had forgotten to take it out, so she had brought it back to the Qin Family that day.

Soon, Gu Qiaoqiao took out the Jade Flute.

Qin Xuan was the first to look at it.

Gu Qiaoqiao pointed to the inscription, “That is my grandfather’s handwriting, ‘Mountain Man’. I knew of it before, but I didn’t know that my grandfather’s name was actually Gu Kun.”

Gu Kun, with the alias Mountain Man.

People sixty years ago still paid great attention to naming.

“Sister-in-law, when you saw it, did you immediately determine that it was Grandpa Gu’s property?”

“Yes, I did.”

Then, at Qin Xiaoyu’s request, Gu Qiaoqiao repeated the story of that day to the Qin family members.

Qin Yize wore a faint smile on his lips.

Although he had already known everything clearly, listening to Gu Qiaoqiao recount it now still made him feel as if he were standing beside her, joining her as she fought bravely.

The Qin family hadn’t expected the events of that day to be as dramatic and tumultuous as a story.

Regarding Gu Qiaoqiao, they had no idea when this child had grown to a point where she could control the situation.

The night deepened.

The Qin Family, now more warm and harmonious, also went to their respective rests.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize returned to their room as well.
