Chapter 1125: The Real Treasure Vault

This meal, everyone was engrossed in their own thoughts about the secret of the jade pendant, eating absentmindedly.

After dinner, Mr. Gu said, "Everyone, come with me to the study."

Han Jingchen took Han Chaojun from Gu Wanqing’s arms: "Dad, I’ll stay in the living room with Chaojun, and keep an eye on things outside."

Mr. Gu initially wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but considering there were others at home, he nodded.

Xinyan brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for everyone, placing it in front of them.

Mr. Gu took a sip of tea and then said, "Back then, the old master didn’t manage to explain his affairs, and I never knew there was a second piece of the jade pendant."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Mr. Gu poured himself another cup of tea: "However, when I was young, I heard my grandfather mention a place several times, and the scenery described when the jade pendants are united exactly matched what he said.

When I grew up, I accompanied my father twice. Thinking back now, it should have been intentional on his part, but I was too young to be explicitly told then."

This got everyone’s attention, all eyes turned to Mr. Gu.

He continued, "If I’m not mistaken, that place should be the true hiding spot of the Gu family’s treasures."

Gu Wanqing’s initially excited face turned grim upon hearing the words ’treasure hiding spot.’

Because of that so-called treasure hiding spot and the unknown family heirloom, their family almost fell apart.

Clearly, the old couple of the Gu family were also affected, their expressions didn’t look very good.

For a moment, everyone in the study fell silent.

Xinyan naturally understood everyone’s mood.

It was Mr. Gu who broke the silence first: "Let’s focus on our own tasks for now. Once the time is right, we’ll make a trip. I also want to see in my lifetime what kind of treasure drives so many people crazy."

Old Madam Gu spoke: "Let’s wait until the summer vacation and let Yanyan accompany you. First, because Wanqing has Chaojun and can’t get away, second, if everyone goes, it’ll draw too much attention. Who knows if someone’s still watching our family, better be cautious."

Xinyan had no objections, but Gu Wanqing looked worried and said, "How about letting Jingchen accompany you? In case anything happens, he can help handle it."

Mr. Gu shook his head: "Let’s follow your mother’s plan. If someone’s still watching us, if you all go together, it’s indeed too conspicuous.

I remember the Ji Family moved there altogether before, it’s a pretty good excuse.

By then, we can say Yanyan is accompanying me to visit old friends. We’ll stay a while, walk around, and should not arouse suspicion."

Once the arrangements were made, they left the study.

On Sun Zhenjun’s wedding day, Xinyan specifically took a day off.

He Jinxuan came over early; he ran two trips in Gu Wanqing’s car, taking everyone to the Sun Family.

After the wedding, Sun Zhenjun and his wife moved to the house allocated by his workplace.

Han Jingchen and Han Jingheng, besides the cash gifts recorded in the gift ledger, each gave a big envelope for them to use in settling down.

Originally, Gu Wanqing wanted to give them a refrigerator produced by the factory, but Han Jingchen stopped her.

On this day, the Sun Family was brightly decorated. The new bride, He Jiewen, wasn’t a local, so she stayed in a hotel beforehand.

He Jiewen’s parents only had one daughter, so they arrived in Beijing early to prepare a dowry for her, afraid that their daughter might be mistreated in her husband’s family.

They basically spent their life’s savings to give their daughter a respectable stance, hoping she could stand tall and live comfortably in her husband’s family.
