He really wanted to say to his master, "I truly haven’t occupied much of your ti."
Even though he was Gu Jin’s apprentice, he had always been left to his own devices.
Seeing Gu Jin’s evasive manner, Qiu Qianghai also laughed and then asked about her family situation.
Gu Jin believed that the Yu Family must have investigated her, but Qiu Qianghai’s direct inquiry carried a different weight, so there wasn’t much she couldn’t say. She briefly described her family’s situation.
She spoke freely about whatever ca to mind, even including that she ranked ninth among the younger generation of the Gu Family.
The Gu Family not only included Grandpa Gu Dabao’s branch but also the Gu Family in town.
To be precise, Gu Jin ranked ninth among her peers in the Gu Family, with Gu Minmin ranking tenth.
As Gu Jin talked about her family, Qiu Qianghai also introduced himself.
He not only managed the Haijiang Hotel but was involved in any business that could make money, including trading under the table. The projects he handled were quite diverse, even the year-end auction was held at his hotel, allowing him to earn a considerable commission.
Yu Shuo also occasionally chid in, discussing other topics, and An Mingji was able to join the conversation as well.
While the four were chatting, there was a knock on the door.
Entering were Jiang Senior and Jiang Hanyi.
The old man of the Jiang Family had woken up, and they were leaving. They ca to inform Qiu Qianghai and to thank Yu Shuo for his life-saving grace.
In their eyes, it was Yu Shuo who saved the old man.
After all, at that ti, Qiu Qianghai had ntioned the Yu Family’s secret technique, and only Yu Shuo, a person from the Yu Family, was present.
At this mont, the Jiang Family still hadn’t grasped the situation, too concerned with Jiang Senior’s health to notice any oddities.
By the ti they realized, the Yu Family had already thought of a way to respond.
After the Jiang Family left, it was getting late, so Gu Jin and An Mingji prepared to head ho.
Qiu Qianghai personally escorted them ho. He no longer drove himself, as the psychological shadow made it difficult to overco in a short ti.
The driver took Gu Jin and An Mingji ho, and after watching them go upstairs, the car slowly drove out of the neighborhood.
...
The next day, a distinguished guest visited the Yu Family.
Jiang Senior, who had been on the brink of death the previous night, personally ca to visit.
After all, being a sly old fox who had lived for most of a lifeti, he imdiately sensed sothing was amiss when his children recounted the details of last night.
Of course, upon learning that soone wanted to harm him, Jiang Senior’s thods were even more ruthless than Jiang Father’s.
That very night, he had soone "invite" the person who had given him the jade to the Jiang Family.
He found out that the jade had changed hands several tis before reaching the giver, who presented it as a gift at his grand birthday banquet.
The old man sent people to follow this lead and continue the investigation.
The next morning, without a mont’s delay, Jiang Senior eagerly gathered people to visit the Yu Family.
The Yu Family seed to have anticipated it, as Old Master Yu had prepared good tea early on.
"Old brother, it’s been a while since we last t."
When Jiang Senior entered the Yu Family gates with his bodyguards, Old Master Yu personally rose to greet him.
"It has indeed been a while. Old Yu, I’ve missed you greatly."
The two old n verbally sparred with each other.
Old Master Yu welcod his guest to sit on the sofa, and Jiang Senior’s sharp eyes swept across the prepared teacups on the table, indicating prior preparation.
He imdiately got to the point, gesturing to the bodyguard behind him.
The latter presented a delicate box with both hands.
Receiving the box, Jiang Senior opened it, revealing the jade that had nearly cost him his life.
He bluntly asked, "Old Yu, I’m not here without reason. I just want to know what was wrong with this jade, and who exactly saved last night?"
