Chapter 78: No Cunning, No Book

  Perhaps it was because he believed that Gu Mian would keep his promise, or perhaps it was due to his own confidence. Robert nodded in agreement with Gu Mian's request without hesitation.

  After seeing that Gu Miao had no other requests, Robert left the room.

  Looking at the time, although the doctor said that Huang Laobo would wake up soon, Gu Mian couldn't determine what time he could leave here.

  It couldn't be helped that Bai Fangfang was waiting anxiously, so she had to use the villa's phone to inform her, saying that something small had come up on her end and they probably wouldn't be able to have dinner together tonight. She asked Bai Fangfang to head back home first, and she would make it up to her another day.

  "You've arrived just in time." Robert said as soon as he walked into the study and saw Tang Ming sitting on the sofa with one leg raised.

  "I heard someone laid hands on you, worried that you'd be missing an arm or a leg, so I had to come and take a look." Tang Ming stood up, walked in front of Robert, circled around him twice, and clicked his tongue: "Looks like nothing's wrong with you, what a waste, I didn't know how many red lights I ran on the way here, I'm usually a law-abiding good citizen."

  Tang Ming said some out-of-tune words, but his eyes were very careful in observing Robert. Only after confirming that Robert had not suffered any serious injuries did he finally put his mind at ease.

  "But they were just small fry, unfortunately we didn't catch them all." Robert's face fell as he mentioned this.

  Tang Ming slightly furrowed his brow, walked to Robert's bookshelf, casually pulled out a hardcover book, and leaned against the bookshelf: "Was it for you or for 'Rose Queen'?"

  "Maybe it's because of me, maybe it's because of the 'Rose Queen', but that doesn't matter. What matters is that someone dares to do this and has to pay the price." Robert gently stroked the blue sapphire ring on his hand.

  "Oh dear, Mr. Smith is angry." Tong Ming sneered.

  "Anliya has been looking for you all this time, I wonder if I should tell her your whereabouts." Robert said coldly.

  Tang Ming raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay okay okay, I'll shut up, I won't say that."

  Robert tossed a dagger to Tong Ming and walked directly towards the chair behind the desk.

  "How can you say that we are old friends for many years, and yet you treat me like this? I rushed over as soon as I received the news about your accident." Tang Ming put back the book he had just taken down from the shelf, thought for a moment, and continued: "Has the person who repaired the 'Rose Queen' been found?"

  "Found him. He's in the villa now." Robert nodded.

  "Did he agree then?" Tang Ming continued to ask.

  Robert tilted his head, his blue eyes gazing out of the window: "It's just a matter of time."

  Tang Ming was clear-headed and saw that the other party had not yet agreed at this time.

  "Time is running out, you have to fix it before the exhibition starts. Your family has never been willing to take out 'Rose Queen' for public display before. This time, those media are all staring closely, if there's a slight mistake, I'm afraid it won't be good for you." Tang Ming put away his previous playful expression and looked at Robert seriously.

  "I have an idea." Robert smiled faintly.

  Tang Ming seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, looking at Robert and saying: "With your words, I can rest assured. You know, for you, I had to put in a lot of effort to persuade my mom to lend me her treasure. Heaven knows what would happen if something went wrong at the exhibition. She might skin me alive."

  "Don't worry, she can't bear to part with it." Robert said nonchalantly.

  After the small talk, Robert and Tang Ming started discussing business, but just as they had barely begun, someone came to inform Robert that Old Man Huang had woken up and was now making a fuss about leaving.

  When Robert heard that Old Man Huang woke up so quickly, he was also very surprised. He thought that given Old Man Huang's age and physical condition, it would take at least one or two hours for him to wake up from his coma.

  "Sir, you'd better not move. You've woken up, but you need to rest more." Robert and Tong Ming rushed into the room where Huang Laobo was staying, only to see him struggling to get out of bed, while the medical staff were trying to stop him from moving.

  Gu Xiang was also on the side trying to persuade Huang Laobo not to make any rash moves, but unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

  "Huang Shifu, you just woke up, it's best if you don't move around." Robert walked to the front of Old Man Huang.

  The medical staff in the room stopped moving as soon as they saw Robert. At this time, he was standing quietly on one side.

  Tang Ming and Gu Xiang almost discovered each other at the same time, only Tang Ming's surprise was slightly greater, and he also playfully raised an eyebrow at Gu Xiang.

  Gu Xiang was currently trying to persuade Huang Laobo, who still had a pale face, and was annoyed, where did he have the time to care about Tang Ming's unpleasant gaze.

  "You've come just in time, I'm going home." Old Man Huang stared straight at Robert.

  "You're not fit to go home now, and... your house isn't exactly suitable for living in at the moment either." Robert said slowly.

  Old man Huang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This is all your fault, I knew I shouldn't have let you in! I've lived there for so many years and nothing like this has ever happened. With such a big commotion today, the neighbors must have heard it."

  "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I've already arranged for someone to take care of it and your house will be back to normal tomorrow." Robert waved his hand at the medical staff in the room, waiting until they had left before continuing: "From what I understand, Mr. Huang seems to have encountered some minor troubles. If you're willing, I can help resolve those minor issues for you."

  "No need." Old Man Huang refused without hesitation: "There's no such thing as a free lunch, you'd better ask someone else for help. I'm old and can't take that much trouble."

  "I think Master Huang needs to have a word with me alone." Robert shifted his gaze to the person standing aside, apparently wanting Gu Mian to step aside for a moment.

  Gu Mei didn't take immediate action, but instead looked towards Old Man Huang.

  Huang Laobo looked at Gu Mian beside him, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. Only then did he remember that today was the first time he had met Gu Mian, who had been implicated by Robert because of him.

  "Little Gu, don't worry." Old Man Huang nodded towards Gu Mian and softly comforted him.

  Gu Mei looked at Old Man Huang, then looked at Robert standing not far away, and finally walked out of the room.

  Tang Ming followed behind Gu Xiang and left together, and when they came out, he also brought the door with him.

  "Hello Miss Gu, we meet again." Tang Ming smiled slightly.

  "What a coincidence." Gu Meng replied politely but with a hint of distance.

  She didn't have any sense of guilt for joining hands with Jin Ge to teach Tang Ming a lesson.

  Just by looking at Tang Ming's appearance, you can tell that he is not short of money. The rhino horn cup is probably just a small matter to him.

  "Miss Gu, they may be talking for a while, let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea!" Tang Ming said as he led the way down.

  He just said his decision out loud and didn't ask for Gu Mian's opinion.

  Gu Mei didn't think much of Tang Ming's somewhat ungentlemanly behavior, in her impression, the other party's attitude was normal, if he suddenly became a gentleman, that would be strange.

  Looking back at the door that had already been closed, Gu Ming let out a sigh and followed Tang Ming downstairs.

  When he came, he was too flustered to carefully observe the appearance of the large hall downstairs. Now that he had some free time, Gu Mian discovered that Robert seemed to be an antique enthusiast as well. There were quite a few antiques placed in the hall, with Chinese and Western antiques occupying a certain proportion.

  The places they visited were very cleverly arranged, blending Eastern and Western antiques together without feeling the slightest bit out of place.

  The villa's servant had already brought in the prepared tea, Tang Ming sat on the soft sofa, picked up the teacup and sipped it with his eyes closed, looking very comfortable.

  Gu Mei sat on the sofa, quietly sipping the tea in her hand, without even a glance at Tang Ming. Her mind, which had finally become slightly free, was now completely preoccupied with the gemstone cigarette case inside her bag.

  The gift for Grandpa is settled, but the one for Mom hasn't been bought yet. I still have to rush back home for dinner tonight, not sure if there's enough time to choose...

  "Miss Gu isn't working at Jibao Mountain House today?" Tang Ming saw that Gu Mei had been silent, and his eyebrows slightly rose as he took the initiative to speak.

  "Thanks to Mr. Tang's good fortune, we're off today." Gu Ming raised his head and replied to Tang Ming.

  She's telling the truth. If Tang Ming hadn't spent a lot of money to buy that rhinoceros horn cup, she wouldn't have been able to take an extra day off today.

  Obviously, Tang Ming was also a clever person and immediately understood the meaning of Gu Yan's words. He smiled with a deep meaning and said: "Miss Gu is wrong, that day I just helped someone buy something."

  She glanced at Tang Ming, and that day Tang Ming had bought the rhinoceros horn cup so readily. She was admiring Jin Ge while also being slightly surprised. No wonder when it came to Zhou Tao's matter, the usually difficult and bad-tasting Ming Shao was so easily taken advantage of. It turned out he wasn't using his own money, not a single penny was spared.

  At this time, a man who looked like a butler quickly walked over, bowed slightly to Gu Mian, and then said to Tang Ming: "Young Master Ming, there is someone outside with something, saying that you told him to come."

  "Yes, I called him. Let him in." Tang Ming nodded at the butler, then seemed to remember something and turned to look at Gu Mian: "Miss Gu, later someone will bring some good things in, I don't know if you're interested in taking a look?"
