Chapter 1708: Almost Knocked Gu Ning
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Ning guessed that the Jade Eyes was responding to the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern, so it must be the Jade Eyes which was being excited.
Even though the Jade Eyes were mixed with her eyes now, it was a piece of jade itself.
Gu Ning ached to open the box right now, but she had to control herself in public.
After that, Gu Ning and the others wanted to leave. Cai Wenhong said to walk them out, but they declined, so he didn’t insist.
Once they were gone, Cai Wenhong called Jiang Zhongyu.
“Master Jiang, General Leng exchanged a Tang Sancai vase which is worth about forty million yuan for the jade! There is a price gap of ten million yuan, but they didn’t hesitate at all,” said Cai Wenhong with excitement.
“What? A Tang Sancai vase? Wow, I didn’t know that Girl Gu has something valuable like that. Why didn’t she let us see it first?” Jiang Zhongyu complained. He always wanted Gu Ning to call him first whenever she found any valuable antiques. He wouldn’t mind if Gu Ning called Master Leng and Master Xu before him.
“What Girl Gu?” Cai Wenhong didn’t know Gu Ning’s relationship with Jiang Zhongyu.
“The girl with Leng Shaoting is Gu Ning, and she’s the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store,” said Jiang Zhongyu.
There were two females with Leng Shaoting back then, but there was only one girl, and Cai Wenhong realized that the girl was Gu Ning.
Although Jing Yunyao looked young, she was obviously a mature woman.
“Oh, she’s the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store!” Cai Wenhong was slightly surprised to know that. Because he was an old friend of the previous owner of Xiangyun Antique-store, he had heard of what had happened to it.
He knew that a girl named Gu Ning bought Xiangyun Antique-store, but didn’t know that Gu Ning was the girl he met today until now.
It seemed that the girl wasn’t ordinary, because she came with General Leng!
“What’s her relationship with General Leng?” asked Cai Wenhong with curiosity. Because Jiang Zhongyu was his teacher, he could ask whatever he wanted to know.
Jiang Zhongyu didn’t think it was something he shouldn’t tell other people, so he said, “Gu Ning is Leng Shaoting’s fiancée.”
Knowing that, Cai Wenhong nodded, but he wasn’t shocked, because he didn’t know much about Leng Shaoting or his character. He didn’t think it was very unusual that Leng Shaoting had a fiancée.
“Gu Ning is an unbelievable girl, and I can bring you to meet her one day when we’re free. She has many good objects,” said Jiang Zhongyu.
“Sure,” said Cai Wenhong happily.
Most of them were interested in antiques in this industry, and they would do some research once they found good objects.
…
When they went back to the hall, Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao that she needed to leave for a while. She had to put away the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern, then bring the Tang Sancai vase over here.
Although it was put in her telepathic eye space, she couldn’t directly put the jade inside and get the vase out.
Even though she could do that by avoiding the crowd, there were surveillance cameras everywhere, so it would be difficult for her to explain it if she was caught doing that.
Normally, no one would rewind the surveillance videos if nothing went wrong, but there was someone staring at the surveillance screens, and Gu Ning couldn’t take the risk.
Besides, Jing Yunyao wasn’t aware of her telepathic eye space yet, so she had to be very careful. Moreover, they just finished the deal, and it was impossible for her to get the Tang Sancai vase here within such a short time. It took at least an hour to do that, so it would arouse suspicion if she got it here so quickly. Therefore, Gu Ning needed to go out for a while and return at the right time.
Gu Ning didn’t tell them what exactly she planned to do, and Jing Yunyao thought that she would wait for someone to get the Tang Sancai vase here for her and help her move the jade away. She was afraid that Gu Ning might feel bored, so she said, “I can go with you!”
“Thanks, but I can do it alone. Why don’t you walk around here with my friends? It’s not appropriate if we leave them alone here,” said Gu Ning.
Gu Ning needed to do something without Jing Yunyao knowing it, and Leng Shaoting couldn’t leave her behind, so Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting to stay here.
“You’re right.” Jing Yunyao agreed.
“I’ll give them a call and your number. They’ll contact you when they’re done. I’ll be back in an hour and we’ll see each other then,” said Gu Ning to Jing Yunyao. Because her friends felt nervous to contact Leng Shaoting, she told them to call Jing Yunyao instead.
“No problem,” said Jing Yunyao.
Afterwards, Gu Ning walked away alone. She gave Chu Peihan a call and told her about the situation and Chu Peihan understood it.
On her way, several naughty kids were playing with each other and they almost knocked Gu Ning. Gu Ning was scared for a second, because the jade could be broken if they knocked her.
Although it was easy for Gu Ning to avoid those naughty kids, she cared a lot about the jade, so she was very nervous. However, right after Gu Ning avoided the naughty kid who almost knocked her, the kid ran ahead for a few steps and fell, then burst into tears.
“Oh, my son!” A couple stood aside and went to him at once and carried him up.
Gu Ning turned around and gave them a glance, then continued to walk away. It wasn’t her fault anyway, and the parents would take care of their kid.
Unfortunately, the couple soon ran over and stopped her.
