Gu Mei turned her head and glanced at Qin Sheng, thinking that since he had already seen so much, it didn't matter anymore. She opened her mouth and said: "I'm not angry with Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I know what kind of people they are. To be honest, I've been tolerant enough all these years. Now that Grandfather has spoken up, Second Uncle and Second Aunt shouldn't think about bullying me in the future... If they dare to provoke me again..."
Hmph, don't blame her for being ruthless when the time comes!
"If I had to describe your second aunt with one word, it would be 'greedy'. What is it that she always wants?" Qin Sheng asked.
"It's not something serious, just some small trinkets left behind by our ancestors. They're not even worth much money, after all, we're not a wealthy family." Gu Mei let out a somewhat helpless sigh.
It's really true that talking about money hurts feelings. Second Aunt was afraid that she and Mom would take advantage of those things, so they made such a big deal out of it, causing Grandpa and Second Uncle to break up like this. It's really true that there's no brain, just like Grandpa said, the whole person is stuck in the eyes of money.
Qin Sheng looked at Gu Mian, wanting to say something but hesitated, and in the end he didn't say anything.
"Right, I thought you'd come over this afternoon, don't you have something to attend to?" Gu Mian asked, not wanting to continue the topic of Second Uncle and Second Aunt.
"Things are almost done, I came here for something." Just then, Second Uncle and Second Aunt interrupted, and Qin Sheng almost forgot the purpose of his visit today.
"What's wrong?" Gu Mian curiously looked at Qin Sheng.
"I think your grandfather might need a caregiver to take care of him, I don't know if you have anyone in mind. Fangzhou's girlfriend is a nurse and she's quite familiar with this aspect. Yesterday I talked to her about it and she gave me a list of caregivers with good reputations." As he spoke, Qin Sheng handed over a piece of paper to Gu Mian.
Gu Mei Zheng was just about to go and ask around when Qin Sheng sent over the list, which made her extremely happy.
"Thank you, I just needed this." Gu Ming took it over and gave Qin Sheng a smile.
Qin Sheng saw that Gu Ming's smile was no longer so forced, and he let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that his efforts had not been in vain.
Originally, Gu Mian had thought of asking Qin Sheng to help her find out what kind of person Dr. Zou was. But later on, she thought about it and decided not to bother him too much, as she had finally managed to get Qin Sheng to eat his words, and she wanted to maintain the effect for a while longer.
She remembered that Han Lu's family doctor had a good relationship with this hospital, so she called Han Lu and asked for her help.
Han Lu handled things efficiently, and within an hour, she had found out everything clearly. Dr. Chen's words were not a single bit exaggerated. That Dr. Zou was indeed a talented person, having been in the hospital for a short time, yet his reputation was very good, and his surgeries were mostly smooth and successful, allowing Gu Mei to feel at ease.
After some thought, Gu Mei still decided to wait for Doctor Zou to perform the surgery. She replied to Doctor Chen, who immediately arranged a time, and two days later, when Doctor Zou returned, he would directly perform the surgery.
Grandpa was determined this time, directly instructing mom to take out the things and then dividing them among everyone in front of everyone the next day.
Actually those things are really nothing special, just some old-fashioned jewelry, with some gold and jade.
Grandfather didn't care how Erniang whispered, and divided it into two portions according to his own idea. One portion was given to Ershu, and the other portion was given to Gu Mian's father. However, Gu Mian's father had passed away early, so he directly gave the things to Gu Mian.
Gu Mian roughly looked at it, and Grandfather divided it fairly. He didn't favor either side, and in order to prevent Second Aunt from finding excuses later. He mentioned that he had given the bangle to Gu Mian beforehand, so the things Gu Mian got were one less when spread out like this.
The second aunt glanced at the bangle on Gu Mei's hand, saw that it wasn't of very good quality, and muttered a couple of sentences under her breath, then didn't say anything else.
Things have been divided up, and Grandfather is in no mood to see Second Uncle and Second Aunt again, so he hurries them away once more.
Gu Mei looked at Er Shu's back as she walked away with a delighted expression, her arms full of the things they had divided up, and couldn't help but curve the corners of her mouth upwards.
Second Aunt is really short-sighted, for the sake of that little thing, she's made such a fuss with them, and won't think more about it in the future. Even if Grandfather's things were all given to Second Aunt, she wouldn't feel heartbroken as long as she has that bracelet on her hand, everything else doesn't matter.
The biggest treasure is already in her hands, and she doesn't bother to give Second Aunt a glance.
It's best if there isn't a day when someone comes to ask her for help, otherwise she'll make Second Aunt know what the word "regret" looks like.
She selected a caregiver from the list brought by Qin Sheng, and after signing the contract, the caregiver officially came to take care of Grandpa, which made Gu Mian and her mother breathe a sigh of relief.
Since returning from Shaanxi, Gu Ming naturally had to go see Professor Wang. After visiting his grandfather at the hospital in the morning, Gu Ming went to find Professor Wang in the afternoon.
It just so happened that today was the weekend, and the two of them agreed to meet at a rather upscale teahouse.
Professor Wang couldn't take his eyes off the jade dragon that Gu Mei had taken out from Lin Hai's hands, staring straight at it with an expression like a starving man who had finally seen a beautiful woman.
Seeing Professor Wang in this state, Gu Mei could only quickly put the things on the table and let Professor Wang pick them up to observe carefully.
Professor Wang held a high-powered magnifying glass, holding his breath as he gazed at the C-shaped jade dragon in his hand, as if even the slightest sound of his breathing would scare it away.
Gu Mian briefly told Professor Wang what had happened while observing the Jade Dragon, which made Professor Wang exclaim that they were lucky. If Yang Lin and his gang had been more ruthless and tried to kill them all, Gu Mian and the others would have been in danger.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your gains from this trip are not small at all. You got this for 1500 yuan, I must say, your taste is better than mine." After Professor Wang examined the C-type jade dragon from head to toe, he confirmed that it was indeed a red hill culture jade artifact and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"It's just good luck." Gu Ming smiled and carefully put away the jade dragon.
She really felt that her luck was good, basically every time she went to a place, she would have a big harvest. Thinking back, she used to be just an ordinary appraisal professional student, but since the strange power appeared on her left hand, her whole life had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"It's still that saying, good luck is also a kind of strength." Professor Wang nodded and lowered his voice: "What do you plan to do with this Jade Dragon?"
"The jade's outer skin hasn't been removed yet, I plan to remove the skin first and then see whether to keep it for myself or resell it," Gu Mian replied.
Many people who collect jade articles hope to have a genuine Hongshan culture jade article in their collection, and if they want to sell it, they will not worry about finding a buyer.
This jade dragon is no match for that Bixi with a treasure in its belly, anyway Mr. Qiao already knows about it, and telling Professor Wang wouldn't be a problem either, Professor Wang is still trustworthy after all.
"If you want to resell it, I actually have a personal choice for you." Professor Wang thought for a moment and said to Gu Mian.
"Who?" Gu Meng asked.
"Lao Zheng from the Treasure Mountain House has always wanted to get a treasure for his shop, but he hasn't found something that meets his expectations yet. If it's this Red Mountain Culture jade dragon, I believe it should be able to move him," said Professor Wang.
Professor Wang also liked the jade dragon in Gu's hand very much, but he was also very self-aware that his financial resources were not enough to buy this jade dragon.
It's better to let the Jade Dragon fall into the hands of someone I know rather than an unknown person. Firstly, Zheng Laoban from the Treasure Mountain House is quite knowledgeable about jade, and secondly, he has a good hand for polishing jade, so he should be able to restore the Jade Dragon to its original appearance as soon as possible.
"I'll consider it." Gu Mian nodded.
Some things are better left unsaid. Before Gu Mei made up her mind, Professor Wang would never tell others about the jade dragon in her hands.
"This time following Old Joe out, are there any thoughts?" Professor Wang smoothly shifted the topic.
"Not bad, learned a lot of things, Mr. Qiao is also very impressive." Before, Gu Ming had no intuitive feeling about Mr. Qiao, but this time traveling together, she gained a deeper understanding of him.
"This opportunity is rare, if there's another chance like this in the future, you must grasp it firmly." Professor Wang said with a smile to Gu Mian.
Gu Meng looked at Professor Wang for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt for no reason, thinking that there was more to what Professor Wang said.
Qin Sheng and she had discussed ways to make her Xue Lao's apprentice, could it be that Professor Wang also knew?
After parting with Professor Wang, Gu Mei had been thinking about this issue, wondering whether Professor Wang knew or not, but after thinking for half a day, she still couldn't come to a conclusion, and instead became even more anxious and confused, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
The boat is now at the bridgehead and going straight. None of the eight characters have a stroke yet, so let's not think about things that are still far away. Let's think about Grandpa's leg instead.
This time, because of Grandpa's matter, I rushed back too urgently, and Gu Mei didn't have time to bring souvenirs for everyone. Han Lu the beautiful girl and Bai Fangfang the little beauty expressed understanding, but both asked Gu Mei to make it up to them.
Gu Mei felt guilty and, with Han Lu's help, didn't dare decline. After confirming that Grandfather was in good condition at the hospital and just waiting for surgery, she arranged to meet up with the two of them.
It never occurred to them that when the three of them met, Han Lu brought her a shocking piece of news. The extremely rare Starlight Blue Sapphire, which had failed to sell at auction and whose whereabouts were unknown for some time, has reappeared on the market. Someone revealed that the gemstone is likely to be sold soon.
