"Gu Mian?" Qin Sheng was taken aback, looking at Gu Mian not far away, his eyes revealing unspeakable surprise.
Gu Xiang rarely saw such an expression on Qin Sheng's face, smiling and shaking the still ringing phone in his hand: "You're looking for me, is there something going on?"
Qin Sheng quickly regained his composure, hung up the phone, and nodded at Gu Mian: "There is something I want to find you about."
Han Lu raised an eyebrow and looked Qin Sheng up and down with great interest.
Figure is okay, looks are okay, temperament is also okay, wow, what a rare good-looking guy!
"Is this the friend you said wanted to say hello?" Han Lu gently poked Gu Ming's arm and asked in a soft but audible voice.
Gu Meng and Han Lu had been close friends for many years, so she knew exactly what was going on in Han Lu's mind at this moment. However, with Qin Sheng standing right in front of her, she couldn't explain much.
"Miss Han, I presume? I am Qin Sheng of Gu Hongzhi." Before Gu Mian could make a move, Qin Sheng had already taken the initiative to approach her.
"Hello, I'm Han Lu, Gu Ming's good friend." Han Lu heard Qin Sheng say her name in one go, and she became more interested in him. Her gaze kept shifting back and forth between Gu Ming and Qin Sheng.
At this time, the man who had entertained Gu Mian and Han Lu earlier also came up with something in his hand. After seeing Qin Sheng, he politely nodded and put the thing on the table.
Han Lu temporarily withdrew her gaze from Qin Sheng and turned to look at the antique jewelry on the table. This time, the antique jewelry brought by the other party was obviously better than before, and the types were more diverse, not only with Chinese classical charm, but also Western-style antique jewelry and so on.
"Gu Mian, help me choose quickly. What do you think of this brooch? Is it suitable for my future mother-in-law?" Han Lu picked up a flower-shaped brooch inlaid with many small gemstones.
"This...". Gu Mei hesitated a bit. She didn't know much about Han Lu's future mother-in-law, so she had no idea if the brooch was suitable for her or not.
"Miss Han, if you're planning to buy it as a gift for Madame Wang, this brooch might not be suitable," Qin Sheng suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?" Han Lu looked at Qin Sheng with curiosity.
Qin Sheng took a few steps forward and walked to the side of Han Lu and Gu Cai, scanning the antique jewelry on the table: "I've also met Mrs. Wang a few times, she really likes antique jewelry. However, she has a preference for Chinese-style antique jewelry. Although she likes most high-end jewelry, Mrs. Wang has a head of black and shiny long hair, so when it comes to choosing jewelry, she actually prefers hairpins and the like."
"Mrs. Wang indeed has a very beautiful head of hair." Han Lu immediately put down the brooch in her hand and looked at Qin Sheng, saying: "I don't know if Mr. Qin can provide me with some reference opinions?"
Qin Sheng nodded at the man beside him. The man understood and packed up his things, then voluntarily went downstairs.
"Please wait for a moment." Qin Sheng apologized and went upstairs to a small room on the second floor.
"Little girl. Not bad eyesight, I think this one is much better than that scoundrel." Han Lu whispered to Gu Mian with a sly smile.
"Don't spout nonsense." Gu Ming glared at Han Lu.
Han Lu shrugged indifferently: "I've seen this kind of thing many times before, whether it's true or not is uncertain."
Gu Meng lazily rolled her eyes at Han Lu's words and ignored her, who was still muttering to herself.
Before long, Qin Sheng walked out of the room with a small wooden box in his hand.
"This is..." Han Lu looked at Qin Sheng as he brought out a small wooden box, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Golden Phoenix Hairpin?" Gu Mei's reaction was faster than Han Lu's.
The golden phoenix hairpin inside the box is exquisitely crafted, with the phoenix's head standing vividly on a cloud, as if it were about to spread its wings and fly high. A red gemstone is inlaid on the phoenix's eyes, full of spirit.
Jin Feng and Duo Yun are almost entirely made of silk, slender and elegant, with beautiful shapes, bright and pure colors. Judging from their style, they should be products of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is really beautiful." Han Lu carefully took out the golden hairpin from the box.
"This golden phoenix hairpin originally had a pair, one slightly larger, called 'phoenix'; the other smaller, called 'feng', with basically the same shape. The only difference is that the slightly larger one has a stronger and more powerful appearance, while the smaller one has a more delicate and beautiful look. Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang happens to have a smaller 'feng' in her hand, if Miss Han gives her this 'phoenix', I believe she will definitely like it." Qin Sheng said slowly.
Han Lu listened to Qin Sheng's words and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Qin Sheng wore a faint smile and let Han Lu look him up and down: "I wonder if Miss Han is satisfied?"
"It's settled, no need to choose, this one will do." Han Lu immediately made a decision.
She is about to visit the Wang family for the first time as a prospective daughter-in-law, so she naturally needs to bring something impressive to win over her future mother-in-law. Now that Qin Sheng has made it so clear, if she still doesn't understand, then she's really stupid.
"Gu Mian, isn't Mr. Qin saying he needs your help with something? I don't have much to do here anyway, you should hurry up and go help him." Since Qin Sheng gave her some face, she also had to return the favor.
"Don't need me to accompany you?" Gu Ming asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just take this hairpin back home with me later. My mom is still waiting for me to bring things back for her to examine." Han Lu waved her hand at Gu Mian.
Gu Mei raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Sheng, vaguely sensing the anxiety hidden beneath his calm face, and then acquiesced to Han Lu's kindness.
The next thing Qin Sheng handed over to someone else to handle, and he took Gu Yan directly out of the ancient Hongzhai.
"What's going on?" Gu Mian asked curiously.
"My friend has run into some trouble, I hope you can help out." Qin Sheng led Gu Mian to a small alley outside the Gu Hongzhai, lowering his voice as he spoke.
"Need identification?" Gu Ming understood at once, except for this she couldn't think of anywhere else where she could be of help.
"Hmm." Qin Sheng nodded and quietly looked at Gu Mei, waiting for her response.
"Don't worry, I said that as long as I can help, I will definitely help. Appraisal is my specialty, if you're not afraid of me making a mistake, then I'll be happy to take on the responsibility." Other things, Gu Miao didn't dare say, but when it came to appraisal, she was fearless.
"Don't worry, since I've asked for your help, I trust your judgment." Qin Sheng let out a slight sigh of relief and continued, "Things are a bit complicated, so I won't say much now. Later, I'll take you to a place where you can pick out what you think is genuine. Remember, apart from appraising, don't say or ask anything else."
Gu Xiang's heart skipped a beat as he listened to Qin Sheng's words, and it seemed that this appraisal was not a simple matter. However, due to his trust in Qin Sheng, Gu Xiang didn't say anything in the end, but only nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Qin Sheng then whispered a few more words, guaranteeing that this matter was absolutely safe and only hoped that Gu Mian could keep the secret after he went.
Before long, the sound of a car horn came from outside the alley. Qin Sheng took a look and motioned for Gu Mei to follow him out.
As soon as she walked out of the alley, Gu Mei saw a black sedan parked outside.
Qin Sheng opened the car door and asked Gu Mian to get in first, then he followed. The driver was a middle-aged man with a serious expression, who didn't say a word throughout the journey, just quietly driving the car.
Gu Mei originally thought that the place they were going to was either a remote warehouse or a deserted area, but the driver directly drove the car to the entrance of a high-end club.
This club is only open to specific members, and Gu Miao had been there once before when she accompanied Du Hao on a social engagement. Everyone who can enter is not a simple character.
She and Qin Sheng had just gotten off the car when someone came to greet them. Gu Mei took a closer look at the person's appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The person who greeted them was Yu Xiao, the person in charge of the Ming Dynasty ancient tomb theft case last time.
Yu Xiao looked at Gu Mei following behind Qin Sheng and felt a bit familiar, but couldn't think of where she had seen her before.
"Is it her?" Yu Xiao nodded slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it's fine." Qin Sheng patted Yu Xiao's shoulder and gave Gu Mian a reassuring smile before leading her inside.
Yu Xiao saw Qin Sheng with a confident expression on his face and didn't think it was appropriate to say anything else, so he just looked at Gu Mian a few more times.
The club is well-managed in terms of guest privacy, and Gu Mian followed Qin Sheng and Yu Xiaoqi all the way, turning corners left and right, without even seeing a single service staff member.
Finally, Gu Miao followed the two to a door, Yu Xiao took out a room card from her body and quickly opened the door.
Gu Meng followed quietly and went in, sneaking a peek, only to find that the room was surprisingly large, but there were only five people inside, four men and one woman.
Soon, Gu Meng discovered that the people in the house were divided into two factions. Among the five people in the house, one person walked directly to their side, leaned over to Qin Sheng's ear and whispered a few words, then stood aside without speaking, while the other four sat stably on the sofa without moving.
"Everyone is here, shall we begin?" Among the four people sitting on the sofa, a man with an eagle nose stood up and stared straight at Yu Xiao.
"Of course, I'm still waiting for the matter to be settled before going out to celebrate." Yu Xiao's mouth curved upwards, and she tilted her head to look at the man with a hawk-like nose: "We've already agreed on this, you can't back down later."
"Whoever regrets is a grandson." The eagle-nosed man sneered.
"Go!" Yu Xiao nodded and gave a signal to the man who had been whispering in Qin Sheng's ear earlier. The man then dragged out a large trunk from beside him and placed it in the empty space in the middle of the room.
At the same time, the man with a hawk nose also had someone drag out a box of the same size.
