Chapter 202 -202: The Sky Over the Imperial Capital is Changing
If the old man knew about Gu Qiaoqiao’s existence and her carving skills, he would probably cry and say that the Gu Family had a successor.
A successor?
Ning Wanru gave a cold smile. Who knew how long she could live? In the end, there might be no successor after all.
She signaled Gu Cheng with her eyes. Gu Cheng took the Gold Jade Stone Carving, glanced at it, then stared at his son with a grim expression and lowered his voice, “Let’s end this matter here today. If that woman comes again, just drive her out of Yubao Square’s gates. She’s not welcome here.”
After that, he placed the Gold Jade Stone Carving into the briefcase he had brought, and then pointed at Gu Jiansheng, “Wait until we’re home tonight, I’ll settle accounts with you.”
Gu Jiansheng was about to step forward and take back the Gold Jade Stone Carving, but Ning Wanru’s eyes narrowed dangerously. After a long while, she came up to Gu Jiansheng, looked at his face, glared fiercely at Gu Cheng, and then said softly to Gu Jiansheng, “Jiansheng, just remember, your father and I won’t harm you. So, listen to us. Don’t accept anything from Gu Qiaoqiao from now on. Remember, Yubao Square does not welcome her!”
Gu Jiansheng looked at the people before him and muttered, “Why? You ought to give me a reason.”
A reason?
What reason could they give him?
Ning Wanru sighed, “Jiansheng, there will be a chance for Grandma to tell you about this in the future. But remember to listen to Grandma, or she will be unhappy.” Her tender words carried a subtle threat.
Gu Jiansheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yet his eyes revealed a trace of doubt.
Apparently, Grandma was very hostile toward Gu Qiaoqiao.
But they had never met; where did this hostility come from?
Without waiting for Gu Jiansheng to speak, Ning Wanru had already turned and walked away.
Gu Cheng followed her.
Gu Jiansheng slowly sat down on a chair, stroked his cheek that Gu Cheng had hit, and sat angrily.
This made no sense!
This was the second time Ning Wanru had lashed out at him because of Gu Qiaoqiao.
Thus, it was clear that the always gentle and noble Grandma definitely had a grudge against Gu Qiaoqiao.
But obviously, Gu Qiaoqiao did not know Grandma.
Yet Grandma knew her.
Gu Jiansheng’s eyes gradually grew deeper.
Meanwhile, Ning Wanru in the car stared intently at the Gold Jade Stone Carving, wanting to smash it, yet feeling it was too big a loss.
This was twenty thousand yuan.
If smashed, there would really be nothing left.
Ning Wanru’s expression was gloomy, her teeth clenched in hatred.
But this damned jade carving couldn’t return to Jiansheng’s hands.
She could only take it back to the villa.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was walking towards the bus. The sky was growing overcast, and clouds seemed to be silently rolling in.
A breeze sprang up.
The air around her subtly turned humid and stuffy.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked up.
It seemed the sky of the Imperial Capital was about to change.
She smiled slightly, her clear eyes shifting, and waved down a taxi, heading in the direction of the Qin family.
If she wasn’t wrong, the Gold Jade Stone Carving had already stirred up a storm.
Ning Wanru would definitely not allow Gu Jiansheng to keep the piece she had carved.
But since the jade carving was bought for twenty thousand yuan, Ning Wanru, being greedy, would be reluctant to destroy it.
So, it must have ended up back at the North Mountain Villa.
Not only would it be brought back to the villa, but it would also be placed somewhere she could constantly see it, to figure out her next move against her.
Plus, even if it wasn’t kept close by, as long as it was brought back to the villa where she lived, that would be enough.
It’s said that jade cultivates the person as much as the person cultivates the jade.
When people no longer cherish jade, jade will no longer cherish people either!
Gu Qiaoqiao had never experimented with this, but she knew in her heart that it wouldn’t take long for Ning Wanru’s graceful and elegant mask to be torn apart.
Another point was that this matter would definitely reach Gu Qingfeng’s ears.
Gu Qiaoqiao believed that by no later than tomorrow morning, Gu Qingfeng would definitely send someone to pick her up to the hospital.
Being invited and going on one’s own initiative had entirely different meanings.
It would also mean losing a lot of early opportunities.
Gu Qiaoqiao got out of the car, went to the nearest market, bought lots of delicious food, and then carried these items back to the Qin Family.
She now considered herself to have some assets.
The lavish dinner that Gu Qiaoqiao prepared stunned the four members of the Qin family.
Stir-fried prawns, steamed swallow fish, roasted beef steak, along with several stir-fried vegetables, each dish was comparable to those served in grand hotels, and perhaps even better.
When they found out that Gu Qiaoqiao had sold a Gold Jade Stone Carving for twenty thousand yuan, Qin Xuan was indeed startled.
It was not envy or covetousness, but admiration.
At such a young age, to have made so much money from one skill alone.
It was impossible not to respect her.
Meanwhile, Grandma Qin felt regret that Qin Yize wasn’t at home.
He was missing out on all these delicious dishes.
Only after Gu Qiaoqiao repeatedly promised that she would make an even more sumptuous meal when Qin Yize came back did she cheer up.
By this time, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to have quietly integrated into the Qin family.
As the night deepened, Gu Qiaoqiao dismissed all her thoughts, looked at the Mysterious Dragon Box on the table, pondered for a moment, and then put it away.
After tidying up her belongings and washing up, she lay down on the bed and felt tired.
She stopped thinking chaotically and fell into a deep sleep.
In the hospital, Gu Qingfeng awoke in the middle of the night due to the stimulating warm and cool sensations on his chest.
The face of the awakened Gu Qingfeng was darker than ever.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if concentrating on some unknown storm brewing within.
Had he become old?
Was he now seen as a feeble, useless old man?
Even if that were the case, what could be done about it?
One should know that a centipede does not topple over even in death!
When Uncle Gu saw that Gu Qingfeng was awake, he hurriedly informed him about Luo Zhenyu and Gu Qiaoqiao’s visit.
And about Gu Qiaoqiao selling a work to Yubao Square for two hundred thousand yuan that morning.
Gu Qingfeng touched his chest, no wonder he felt less stifled when he was angry.
Gu Qiaoqiao?
That girl with an extraordinarily astonishing talent for carving.
Uncle Gu then spoke solemnly, “Gu Kun’s funeral has already been handled, and his son has taken Gu Kun back to their hometown, stating they want to bury his parents together.”
“Did he say anything else?”
“No,” Uncle Gu paused, then continued, “I handed him twenty thousand yuan, told him that the house in Imperial Capital and the master position at Yubao Square are still reserved for him.”
“Good, you did the right thing,” Gu Qingfeng glanced at Uncle Gu, “That boy is too cunning, I’m afraid we can’t get much out of him, but we don’t need to ask any further, nor should we investigate…”
“Why not?” Uncle Gu asked, surprised.
“Isn’t there a saying, ‘Where there is a will to blame, an excuse will be found’?” Gu Qingfeng’s voice carried a chill.
“Old Patriarch, what do you mean?” Uncle Gu asked, stunned.
“No need to investigate, no need for evidence, nothing can stand in the way of me, Gu Qingfeng, reclaiming what I want,” his voice was fierce.
Uncle Gu nodded in understanding, “Old Patriarch, I agree with your view. What do you need me to do?”

“Tomorrow morning you drive personally to pick up Gu Qiaoqiao…”
