Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, because she suddenly rembered sothing that her Great Grandfather had told her.
It was about this Hundred Miles of Mountains Map.
The Hundred Miles of Mountains Map has been in the Gu Family for over a hundred years.
If it weren’t for the Gu Family’s special preservation thods, the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map might just be a pile of paper scraps by now.
"Then I understand what’s going on, the painting in your ho is a forgery, created by Mr. Qian Shi over five years. Although it’s not at a national treasure level, it is quite valuable. Naturally, the Gu Family wouldn’t let it fall into overseas hands. The reason is quite complicated, you should go back and ask your grandfather about it."
Gu Qiaoqiao said with a bright smile.
Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up, silently praising.
He almost forgot about this as well, only rembering just now.
It was the Old Patriarch who told him that.
And now he knew who this woman was.
"You are Miss He, aren’t you?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile, "Your grandfather Old Mr. He has been away from the New Nation for many years, hasn’t he returned?"
Miss He?
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned as she looked at the woman in front of her, suddenly having an odd thought. Is this woman the one called He Shan?
The woman looked at Zhang Yi, her eyes flashing with a hint of darkness, and everyone in the hall was also watching her, the room suddenly turned quiet.
The next mont, the woman let out a laugh, but because her voice was hoarse, it didn’t sound very pleasant.
"Haha, Uncle Zhang, you truly have a discerning eye, yes, I am He Shan, and my grandfather is indeed Old Mr. He you ntioned."
So it really was He Shan.
Unexpectedly, she was that man’s granddaughter.
Even her Great Grandfather hadn’t discovered this.
Perhaps she deliberately concealed it.
Gu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly, then curled her lips; this woman was truly as unpredictable as they co.
He Shan stepped forward and handed Zhang Yi a business card, "Uncle Zhang, I’m truly abrupt today, but my grandfather misses his holand deeply and specifically instructed to visit Yubao Square. He is particularly thought about this Hundred Miles of Mountains Map all the ti."
Zhang Yi took the business card, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Miss He, how is your grandfather’s health?"
"Hmm, the old man is quite well."
"Would you like to have a cup of tea in the living room?" Zhang Yi invited.
He Shan waved her hand, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, I have other matters to attend to today. I will co to visit another day."
Then she looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Who might this young lady be? I haven’t heard my grandfather ntion her before."
"This is the successor to the Old Patriarch of the Gu Family, also his great-granddaughter Gu Qiaoqiao."
Zhang Yi introduced generously.
There was nothing to hide.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and asked, "Is Miss He planning to take so antiques back abroad this ti?"
"Yes, which is why I only ca to Yubao Square, I do not recognize other places. What I said just now was just a joke, I hope nobody takes it seriously..." The arrogance on He Shan’s face had completely disappeared by now, she appeared very open and cheerful.
But Gu Qiaoqiao still felt sothing was off.
"Miss He, it’s nothing. At Yubao Square, people often point at our antiques and say they are fake, we naturally won’t take it to heart."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice was very calm and carefree.
"Then I am relieved." After He Shan said this, she turned to Zhang Yi and playfully said, "Uncle Zhang, just now it was rely to test if anyone still rembers my grandfather, please do not mind if I was impolite."
Zhang Yi waved his hand and said heartily, "No problem, no problem, we won’t take it to heart."
He Shan glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, smiled and nodded, then turned gracefully and walked towards the door.
When passing by Qin Yize, she paused slightly, curled her lips, "This gentleman apparently doesn’t know the story here, please do not mind if I was offensive just now."
Qin Yize glanced at He Shan and said faintly, "It’s okay."
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to He Shan but walked towards Gu Qiaoqiao.
He Shan turned her head to look at the two of them, unable to see Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression clearly against the light, but clearly even the corners of her eyes were brimming with a smile.
Not much different from what was seen on the streets of Jinling City.
He Shan concealed the emotions in her eyes, lifted her foot, and walked out the door.
It wasn’t until her figure disappeared from the entrance of Yubao Square that Zhang Yi retracted his gaze, his expression a bit serious, he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and said in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, He Shan’s grandfather is not an easy person."
"Oh, how much do you know about him?"
"Not much, but he is sowhat unscrupulous in his actions."
And the old man next to Zhang Yi, looking at him thoughtfully, suddenly rembered what was going on and pointed at Zhang Yi with sudden realization, "Xiao Zhang, could it be that Old Thief He from West Second Street?"
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "Grandpa Yang, is her grandfather nicknad Old Thief He?"
Elder Yang nodded, "Yes, I knew about this back then, didn’t expect his granddaughter to return; the old guy is almost eighty, yet the granddaughter’s age seems too young."
Gu Qiaoqiao calculated, it seed quite normal.
Getting married late roughly accounted for it.
However, He Shan knowing the whereabouts of Chang Jianhua naturally also knows the feud between the Gu and Chang Families.
What was her intention today?
Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize left Yubao Square.
The Jeep was parked not far away in a parking lot, Qin Yize holding Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand was walking slowly towards it.
The scenery here was very nice.
All around were tall parasol trees.
The huge canopy cast a green shade over the pedestrian walkway.
This was not the downtown area, nor were there bustling malls.
So, there were no bustling crowds here.
An antique shop isn’t a vegetable market, custors are countable daily.
There’s a saying, ’Business doesn’t open for a year, opens and eats for three years,’ that’s about what it ans.
So, it was very quiet here.
However, not far away was a street filled with hawkers, known as the Ghost Market; it was very lively,
Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t been in this line of work for long, but she had learned many things.
As she walked, she narrated the story of Old Thief He to Qin Yize.
That was before liberation.
Old Thief He lived on West Second Street, a well-known old player.
He was a man without many principles, but his family was quite wealthy, due to his devious and cunning character, so even in troubled tis, he lived quite well.
Later, because of a certain matter, he couldn’t stay in the country anymore, so he prepared to flee, taking with him a large number of treasures, what belonged to his family, others naturally couldn’t do anything about.
But he coveted Yubao Square’s Hundred Miles of Mountains Map.
The Old Patriarch naturally disagreed.
Vehently refused.
Later, he produced a Three-legged Qinghua Cauldron for exchange, but after much consideration, the Old Patriarch still did not agree.
