Chapter 173: Smoke Bomb

  Qiu Yan heard Gu Mian's words and felt a sense of unease, her heart rising with an ominous premonition.

  Judging from her understanding of Erniang, Gu Mei would say such things, it's likely that Erniang has gotten into trouble, and this trouble is related to her cousin.

  This has really made her anxious, her older cousin has been better than her in every way since childhood, and now she's found a rich husband and is living the life of a wealthy lady, and even the money for this wedding was mostly paid by her cousin.

  Not only for her, but also for the whole family, that aunt of hers is a golden god of wealth. They can't afford to offend anyone who brings them wealth!

  She immediately lost interest in finding trouble with Gu Mian and turned back to ask Er Niang what had happened.

  Just as the wine had not been finished, Peng Jun did not notice what Qiu Yan and Gu Mei were saying. After finishing the wine at Gu Mei's table, he hurriedly urged Qiu Yan to go to the next table, while there were constantly people coming up to congratulate her, making it impossible for her to ask Er Niang alone.

  Gu Mei watched Qiu Yan walk away with a heart full of worries, and her heart felt even more relieved. If others wanted to make her unhappy, they would have to pay the price.

  "Your second aunt is the same, it's been so long since things passed, why are you still mentioning Qiu Yan? Fortunately, your grandfather didn't hear just now, or he would be angry again." Mom had heard what Qiu Yan said to Gu Mian, and after Qiu Yan and Peng Jun left, she couldn't help but speak out.

  "Second Aunt is just that kind of person, besides, after the thing with Second Uncle, she and we had a falling out and never made up, today I gave her a little lesson, it's normal for her to say some bad things about me behind my back, anyway this kind of thing has been going on for more than one or two days." Gu Mian let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

  Mom also shook her head: "But you've gone a bit too far today. Can that jade sheep really be sold for 800,000? Now your second aunt is even less likely to make amends with us."

  "I just wanted to tease them a bit, I didn't necessarily want them to buy it. They were the ones who first suggested buying it, and they were also the ones who voluntarily bought it afterwards. My jade sheep for 4 million is absolutely market price, as for the extra money, let's just consider it as appreciation." Gu Xiang gently shook her mother's arm.

  Mom sighed and didn't dare to say anything more about this, after all, today's matter was indeed started by Auntie Er first, and later Xiao Pangzi's mom also didn't ask what it was before opening her mouth to buy two portions.

  "Although today's matter is our fault, can you say that you didn't take advantage of Yu Xiao to bully others? This time, let it go, but next time don't be too extreme. It's okay to fight back and teach someone a lesson when something happens, but try not to make things too awkward." Mom cautioned carefully.

  Although their family has no power, they have always been upright and honest. The daughter is happy to have a nobleman helping her, but she also doesn't like her own daughter becoming the kind of person who relies on power to bully others, so she can't help but remind her a few words.

  Daughter is growing up day by day. She also has her own circle, and as a mother, she can only give some general advice, and can't control much else.

  "Mom, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who can't forgive others. It's just that Second Aunt is really too much, always coming to find fault with me. I haven't done anything wrong to her, and even more so, I don't owe her anything. There's no need for me to be like a punching bag and let her say whatever she wants. From now on, I'll pay attention to this, as long as Second Aunt doesn't continue being so unreasonable, I won't take the initiative to do something that will make things difficult for both of us." Gu Yan comforted.

  "You've been sensible since you were young, Mom knows you have a sense of propriety." Mom patted Gu Mian's hand and changed the subject to ask about Yu Xiao: "That Yu Xiao seems quite good, where did you meet him, what does his family do? It looks like Qiu Yantang's husband and father-in-law are intentionally trying to curry favor with her."

  "It was when I was appraising antiques that I met him, we've seen each other a few times, but we're not particularly familiar. However, he's indeed a good person, last time my second uncle had an accident, it was him that I asked for help. As for what his family is like, I'm not too clear about that. (pauses) All I know is that his dad seems to be some kind of director in the central government."

  Mom heard this and couldn't help but feel a little moved, then continued to ask: "He looks quite young, with a pretty good presence, what does he do, how old is he?"

  Yu Xiao knew that... Gu Mian inadvertently raised her head and met her mother's slightly excited eyes, and couldn't help but frown: "Mom, did you misunderstand something?"

  "What misunderstanding? I didn't misunderstand anything! How is Yu Xiao doing, you tell me!" Mother asked anxiously.

  "Mom, you said there was no misunderstanding, but why are you so concerned about Yu Xiao's affairs? Yu Xiao and I are just ordinary friends, don't get any wrong ideas."

  "Mom knows you're just ordinary friends, mom understands." Mom had an air of experience about her, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

  Since Gu Miao and Du Hao broke up, there has been no new development in her emotional life. Although Gu Miao said she had let go, as a mother, she still had some worries. Suddenly finding such a high-quality man by her daughter's side made her excited.

  Ordinary friends, if they were just the kind of ordinary friends that Gu Mian mentioned, who had only met a few times and weren't very familiar with each other, why would they go to the trouble of using their connections for Gu Mian's second uncle's affairs, and still defend Gu Mian in front of everyone today?

  It seems that her daughter is still quite conservative and shy.

  Gu Mei looked at her mother's expression and knew that the other party was completely misunderstood. She wanted to explain a few words, but she didn't know where to start.

  Mom is now in high spirits, no matter what explanation she makes, I'm afraid the other party won't take it to heart.

  Forget it, whether it's true or false, she herself knows. After a while, even if she doesn't explain, I believe mom will also see clearly.

  "What's so funny?" Grandpa asked with some curiosity upon seeing Mom's smiling face.

  "There's nothing, Mengmeng said that this time going out will also bring back gifts, asking what I want." Mom was afraid of embarrassing Gu Meng, and hurriedly helped to cover it up.

  "It's the thought that counts with gifts, and don't buy too many, it won't be convenient to bring them back later." Grandpa nodded in agreement, believing mom's words.

  "I also told Mengmeng that." Mom smiled and turned her head, making a gesture to Mengmeng in a place where Grandpa couldn't see, indicating that the cover-up was successful.

  Gu Mian's mouth twitched involuntarily and let out a long sigh, without responding.

  After lunch, Gu's family didn't stay much longer either. They said their goodbyes and headed straight home.

  When they left, Qiu Yan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Looking at the small flame in Gu Mei's eyes, it seemed to be jumping up rapidly, and it appeared that she probably knew that her elder sister had spent 800,000 yuan to buy Gu Mei's jade sheep.

  However, she was still a bit better than Erniang, at least she didn't start questioning on the spot, and managed to force out a smile with a dark face to see off Gu Mian's family.

  Er Biao didn't know where she had gone, and Gu Mian didn't see her figure when he left.

  800,000 yuan was successfully obtained, and Gu Mei still had some money in her hand. Qin Sheng also helped her sell the Ruyi box on his side. She took advantage of the time before following the inspection team to put the villa's affairs on the agenda.

  She first consulted with her mother and grandfather, got their consent, then found a reputable real estate company to help them look at suitable buildings, and after she finished inspecting, decide which one to buy.

  Mom and grandpa were not very supportive of Gu Mian buying another house, after all, in addition to where they live now, there is also a new house prepared for Gu Mian that has not been occupied.

  It was just the two of them who couldn't resist Gu Mian's persuasion, and they also thought that since Gu Mian was in the appraisal business, maybe he would bring back even more good things in the future. After considering all these factors, they finally agreed.

  Besides, since she had already said that she would give Qiu Yan a big gift, Gu Mei naturally couldn't go back on her word. The wool comes from the sheep's body, and she didn't mind spending the money.

  However, she didn't give the money directly, but instead asked her mother to buy a suitable gift and sent it over. As for Er Yi's side, she didn't forget either, and went to buy some nutritional supplements suitable for women, sending them all to Er Yi's place, and specifically stated that they were given as a thank you gift because of Er Yi's good fortune in selling the jade sheep.

  If it was sent separately, Aunt Er might have felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the gift, but she would still be very happy to accept it. Unfortunately, Gu Mian was naughty and directly sent the gift to Qiu Yan and Peng Jun, explaining the reason for sending the gift and asking Peng Jun to forward it.

  Qiu Yan was originally dissatisfied with Er Niang, who had caused her cousin to spend a lot of money buying antiques, and now she was also being treated coldly by her cousin. Seeing the gift sent by Gu Mian made her even more angry, and behind her back, she did not hesitate to speak ill of Er Niang.

  Er Biao found out about Gu Ming's method and was so angry that she wanted to go to his place immediately and have a good talk with him.

  Unfortunately, at this time, Gu Mian had already boarded the plane to Shaanxi and didn't have the energy to accompany Er Niang in her nonsense. Meanwhile, Grandpa and Mama Ji Yun were arranged by Gu Mian to join a travel group suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, successfully avoiding meeting Er Niang during Gu Mian's trip.

  This time's private investigation team was led by Mr. Qiao, and the people on this side gathered together to go there first, and after arriving in Shaanxi, they had to wait for others to gather together again.

  "Gu Mian, would you like to have tea or juice?" Qin Sheng sat beside Gu Mian, while the flight attendant stood on one side with a smile, pushing the meal cart.
