"It's you."
She had a pretty face with a delicate nose. Her beautiful eyes were like crescent moons, and she was smiling. Her skin was milky white like milk.
Gu Zhirou, Uncle Hua's daughter.
"You don't seem to welcome me.”Gu Zhirou was wearing a snow-white dress. She smoothed the hem of her dress and sat on a stool by the door.
"How can that be? It's been a long time since we last met, and I don't know what to say.”
Gu Yiran sized up this beautiful woman.
Gu Zhirou was a beauty when she was young. After she went to university, she learned how to dress up. With light makeup on her face, she looked dazzling.
She was considered a goddess no matter where she was. Many passersby could not help but cast their gazes over.
The two of them could be considered childhood sweethearts.
However, after Gu Yiran's father left, the relationship between the two families gradually deteriorated. Coincidentally, Gu Zhirou went to Shanghai to attend university, so the two of them rarely met.
"I remember that you should be graduating soon. Are you back to find something to do?”Gu Yiran also moved a stool over and asked casually.
"After graduation, I'll be unemployed. I'll help my dad with something first.”Gu Zhirou smiled." Let's not talk about me. What about you?”
"Me," Gu Yiran said indifferently," Isn't it the same as what my father did?”
While they were chatting happily, Gu Zhirou's phone rang.
It was Uncle Hua, asking if Gu Zhirou was home and if he should pick her up.
Gu Zhirou replied casually and then hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry. My dad is urging me to go home. Let's talk next time.”Gu Zhirou stood up, took her suitcase, and was about to leave.
"Let me send you off." Gu Yiran hurriedly snatched the suitcase from Gu Zhirou's hands when she saw how much effort she was putting in.
Gu Zhirou did not refuse.
The two of them walked along the old street.
They chatted on the way.
Suddenly, Gu Yiran smiled and said,"Don't you remember what you said when you were young?"”
"I said so many words when I was young. How could I remember which one?”Gu Zhirou blinked her eyes in confusion.
"On my tenth birthday, you whispered something in my ear.”The corners of Gu Yiran's mouth curled up.
She still remembered that toot mouth moving close to her ear and whispering.
"Brother Yiran, I didn't prepare a birthday present for you today. I'll marry you when I'm twenty.”
Gu Zhirou also remembered at this moment, and her face turned red.
" Do you still remember that?" Gu Zhirou stomped her feet and said," If you want to marry me, you still have to ask my dad if he agrees?”
"So you agree?" Gu Yiran asked in surprise.
"Let's get past my dad first." Gu Zhirou said proudly.
She knew that Gu Yiran's relationship with her father had been getting worse over the past few years. The two of them did not argue when they met because of their past friendship.
Haha.
Gu Yiran smiled helplessly.
After going around in circles, he still came back to a difficult problem that had been going on for thousands of years.
How to deal with his father-in-law?
This was especially true for those who had poor relationships with each other.
As the two of them walked, they arrived at Gu Zhirou's house.
The shop was not big, but the goods were dazzling. Modern paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls, and some crafts were placed on the open space.
As for the really good stuff, they were all placed in the shop. They needed to be carefully kept and would not be easily displayed.
The customer flow was also very good.
After all, Uncle Hua had opened a shop in Panjiayuan for decades and had never sold counterfeit goods. His reputation had already spread.
At this moment, Uncle Hua was standing at the door, eating melon seeds and taking care of the guests.
Seeing Gu Zhirou standing in front of the door, she immediately stopped caring for the guests and ran away quickly in her slippers.
"My dear daughter, why didn't you tell me that you were almost there over the phone just now so that I could pick you up?”
Uncle Hua gave his daughter a big hug and complained.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise!”Gu Zhirou said with a smile. Then, she pointed her slender fingers backward." Dad, look who's here."”
Uncle Hua looked over. When he saw Gu Yiran, his expression instantly turned stern.
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Yiran pushed the suitcase forward and said,"Send Zhirou off."
"You still have some conscience." Uncle Hua glared at him and said," And you, kid, don't call me that. Who are you to call me Zhirou?”
Gu Yiran felt helpless when she saw Uncle Hua's guarded gaze.
I haven't even started yet.
If I really did, you would have to take out a knife and stab me.
"Dad, stop fooling around." Gu Zhirou passed the things to her father and then sat at the door.
Back home, Lady Gu looked like the daughter of a wealthy family and started to get busy.
Uncle Hua was busy tidying up Miss Gu's room.
Gu Yiran also took advantage of this time to stroll around Uncle Hua's shop and quickly found what she wanted.
He saw a stack of yellowed paper under a few ancient paintings that were not considered precious.
There was a label next to it, telling them which era the paper was from and what it was suitable for.
Gu Yiran randomly picked one and looked at it.
The surface of the paper had a layer of faint luster, which was the patina formed under the effect of time.
No matter how exquisite the old paper was, it could not have such an effect.
Gu Yiran was sure that as long as he had such a piece of paper, coupled with Tang Bohu's flawless skills, he would be able to use it.
If that was the case, no one would be able to tell if the painting was real or fake.
"Don't touch it!" At this moment, Uncle Hua walked over from behind and said unhappily," My shop is full of fake and fake goods. It's different from your fake Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
"Uncle Hua, I'm not going to sell fake goods anymore. I'm going to get some real ones.”Gu Yiran was also a little embarrassed.
Selling fake goods every day over the years had ruined the reputation that his father had accumulated.
"Do you have the eyesight to find the real thing?”Uncle Hua glanced at him.
It was not good to not have good eyesight when receiving goods.
Seeing that the two of them were about to choke, Gu Zhirou hurriedly walked over and interrupted,"Dad, you said something happened at home last time. Now that I'm back, can you tell me what happened in detail?”
Speaking of this topic, Uncle Hua's eyes dimmed as he looked at his daughter who had grown up like a flower.
"You're all grown up now. It's fine to tell you some things.”
"I have a friend who bought Xu Beihong's horse some time ago. He's going to give it away when his friend opens for business.”
"He didn't know how to maintain the ancient painting, so he left it with me for safekeeping.”
"I didn't expect it to be broken!"
Gu Zhirou's eyes widened.
Gu Yiran was also stunned. This was too careless.
Xu Beihong's paintings had also been sold for hundreds of millions of yuan. Although he didn't know how much the painting in Uncle Hua's hand was worth, as Xu Beihong's most famous horse, it couldn't be too low.
Uncle Hua was afraid that he would have to spend all the money he earned in his next life on this.
