Gu Mei suddenly lifted up her own pillow, underneath the pillow was empty!
Pixiu! Top-grade Starlight Blue Sapphire!
Gu Meng's heart almost jumped out, she threw the pillow on her bed to one side, then lifted up the quilt that was covering her bed. (Cotton Candy)
No, no, and no!
He was really anxious this time and jumped out of bed, rushing towards the living room.
"Mom, where did the wooden carving under the pillow go?" Gu Ming flew quickly to her mother's side, with a hint of urgency on her face.
Nothing else matters, that treasure-hiding Pixiu in her belly is her greatest asset, if it's gone, she'll be worried to death!
However, she was still relatively calm and collected, her face showing a hint of urgency but not to the point of arousing suspicion from her mother and grandfather.
"Is it that wooden Pixiu you like to hug when sleeping at night?" Mom turned her head and asked Gu Mian.
"That's it!" Gu Mian hastily nodded.
Mom smiled slightly and put down the small knife that was peeling an apple, wiped her hands and said: "Don't worry, I've put it away, in my room, I forgot to give it back to you."
After finishing speaking, her mother stood up and went back to her own room. Before long, she came out with the Pixiu that Gu Xiang had been thinking of.
"You've been sleeping with this Pixiu every night since you got it, I know you must really like it. Yesterday, that child wanted the jade sheep but didn't get it, and then somehow managed to dig out this Pixiu from under your pillow, insisting on taking it away. Luckily, your grandfather scolded him and took it back for you."
Mom handed the Pixiu over to Gu Xiang's hands, continuing: "The jade sheep was put away by your grandfather. I just happened to put this Pixiu back in my room. You know, this Pixiu is made of a special kind of wood, and when I placed it on the bedside cabinet, the whole room filled with a faint fragrance after just one night. And last night's sleep was especially good."
Looking at the wooden carving in her arms, Gu Mei's heart finally felt at ease. If her mother also said she didn't know where the Pixiu had gone, she was afraid that she would immediately rush to Peng Jun's place and say whatever it took to get the Pixiu back.
As soon as she held the Pixiu, she felt the comfort it brought her. Unconsciously, she let out a low sigh: "This Pixiu is carved from the rare golden silk nanmu wood, which can make the house fragrant when placed inside. It's precious wood. I fell in love with it at first sight, if it gets lost, I'll cry my eyes out."
"You're so big now and still cry like a baby?" Mom teased.
"A thousand gold coins can't buy a good head, it's normal for her to be like that." Grandpa saw that Gu Mei was being teased by her mom and hurriedly came out to defend his granddaughter.
Mom couldn't help but chuckle: "I know you two are close!"
"I thought it was okay to be a bit careless with things at home, but who knew something like this could happen. I think we need to be more careful in the future. Xiaoyun, can you find someone to fix our bedroom door lock? From now on, whenever someone comes to the door, let's lock it. And even when we go out, let's lock it too, just in case." Grandpa reminded Mom.
"Uh-huh, I see." Mom nodded.
She also thinks that being careful in daily life is better, having a little more preventive heart is always good, especially since her daughter is involved in the antique business, if she loses something that looks insignificant but is actually very valuable, it would be terrible.
This matter not only gave Grandpa and Mom a wake-up call, but also gave Gu Mei a small warning.
She used to think that the more dangerous a place was, the safer it would be. No one would have thought that she would casually put the Pixiu with a treasure in her belly at home, and directly present it in front of everyone. Moreover, she had already developed a habit, every day she would hold the Pixiu in her arms and touch it, occasionally taking out the Starlight Blue Gemstone to see if there were any changes. That's why she never put the Pixiu in a safe place for storage.
But she forgot. This doesn't matter for most people, but it does for some.
It's just like the mischievous kid who came to our door yesterday, if Grandpa had shown a little softness without knowing the importance of Pixiu, her Pixiu would have been taken by someone else.
She didn't want it to happen again, so she decided to restrain herself from touching the Pixiu every day and put it away for safekeeping.
Actually, Gu Mei had done some research on safekeeping things before. Many reputable banks offer safe deposit box services, and the annual insurance premium for storing things in them won't be too expensive, completely within her affordable range.
Moreover, Grandfather had many things passed down from his ancestors stored in the bank's safe deposit box, and the jade bangle on her hand that brought her magical powers was one of them.
Thinking that the commotion caused by the Starlight Blue Sapphire had already passed, she thought that even if she put it in a safe deposit box now, no one would notice.
However, to be on the safe side, Gu Mei decided to put the jade sheep and some other things into the safe first.
Fortunately, the plane she was on returned home in the morning. After struggling for a while, it's not yet 12 noon now, and she has plenty of time to get this done today.
To celebrate Gu Mei's safe return, her mother had prepared a big table of dishes. Although Gu Mei was worried about the bank matter in her heart, she didn't show it on her face and cooperated to eat two big dinners.
After comforting his mother and grandfather, Gu Ming went to a bank he had been eyeing in the afternoon around 2 o'clock. After going through a lot of procedures, he successfully deposited the jade sheep and some small accessories.
Kuidi Gu is now considered a saver, she has long been qualified to become a VIP customer of the bank, and her luck is not bad, coincidentally there is still an empty safe deposit box left, otherwise she would have to change banks.
Nowadays, banks can provide safe deposit box services, but they can only store small items, not large ones. Moreover, due to the limited number of safe deposit boxes, it's not always possible to rent one even if you want to, which is really frustrating.
Things like antiques are actually liked by many people in pawn shops, not to mention that the prices in pawn shops are cheap, and there is no restriction on the size of the items.
Ever since Gu Mei experienced the incident of being switched at Hai Yun auction house, she had some doubts about auction houses and pawn shops, thinking that reputable banks with strong capabilities were safer.
The bank is good, the only drawback is that storing things is troublesome and not cheap, but it's worth it for better security, so I chose the most expensive one.
After settling these things, an afternoon passed quickly. Gu Mei went to the supermarket for a stroll and bought some snacks she liked before returning home. All that was left was to wait for a while, then put the Pixiu into the safe as well.
Grandpa and mom had no idea what Gu Mian did in the afternoon, the two said that when nothing was wrong, they would lock the door well. On the same day in the afternoon, a locksmith was found to check and replace new locks for the three people's rooms.
Knowing that the time to be with Qiong Qi at night was not much, Gu Mei hugged it tightly in her arms when she slept at night, and the next morning when she woke up, Qiong Qi was still firmly lying in her arms.
This time she learned her lesson, before leaving, she put the Pixiu in a lockable cabinet, and according to her mother's and grandfather's instructions, she also locked her bedroom door.
It was just that Grandfather had specially made arrangements for his old friends to come home as guests last night, and they would also bring the gifts brought back from abroad by Gu Mei.
Every time Gu Miao comes back from outside and brings gifts to familiar people, it has basically become a habit, and he will never forget Grandpa's old friends who are like children, so he is often praised by Grandpa's friends.
Gu Mian was praised, and Grandpa was naturally delighted, feeling so proud that he couldn't help but show off the gifts Gu Mian had brought back for him to others if given the chance.
However, Grandfather was still relatively sensible and only showed off some inexpensive but thoughtful items, such as the gemstone cigarette case that Gu Ming had bought at a low price in the flower and bird market. He took it out once, then carefully put it away and never took it out again.
Gu Meng speculated that the gemstone cigarette case might have already been put into Grandpa's safe.
After making sure the door was locked, she hastily ate the breakfast her mother had prepared and then rushed to work. Today was the first day back at work after the exchange meeting, she couldn't be late.
Today, the weather was beautiful, and although it had been raining continuously in the city for several days, today was sunny. Breathing in the fresh air of the morning, Gu Mian's mood was not bad, and he didn't arrive late, but instead arrived a little earlier at the office.
She didn't expect her to come so early, but someone came even earlier than her. After she walked into the office, she saw Chen Peng, who hadn't been seen for several days, and Chen Peng seemed not to have noticed Gu Mian, tightly furrowing his own brow, as if he had some worries.
Gu Mei sniffed her own nose, faintly smelling a light scent of perfume in the air. Because she herself didn't like to wear perfume, she was very sensitive to such smells, and this scent of perfume in the office seemed familiar!
No need for others to say it, Gu Mei had already guessed that the owner who left a faint scent of perfume was who.
Hmph, knowing you've made a mistake, so you deliberately came to work early to make up for it?
It's a pity that I only thought of showing off now, but it's probably too late!
