Chapter 331: Doting Third Brother (1)

That old fellow had done this on purpose. He was clearly telling her that if she wanted the whole set, she would need to bring some good things to exchange.

Gu Qingyao knew that she would need to use a lot of resources in order to obtain the rest. The old man could tell that she liked it, and was not short of resources. So he had deliberately given her the prettiest necklace in order to bait her!

Never mind. She liked it!

As long as it was a good article, she did not mind bringing out more good things to exchange.

But Gu Qingyao was thinking that this old man would probably be harder to deal with in the future. She would have to prepare some nice food, and perhaps she could obtain more treasures from him!

She had met a tycoon!

Gu Qingyao sat on the bed, a pile of bracelets in front of her.

That’s right, a pile!

There were probably thirty to forty of them. The cheapest one would be worth 10,000 yuan in the future.

The old man had given her the bracelet in exchange for a few meat buns. He had casually handed it to her, as if he could simply produce another one and fling it at her.

It looked as if the old people on this side of the town were richer. They were also better connected and had more foresight. So they had hidden more goods.

There were over thirty bracelets on the bed, over forty rings and some earrings and necklaces. The most valuable of these were two top-quality bangles which would be worth a few million in the future.

Gu Qingyao happily put away her things. She felt as if she was running a jewelry shop.

But the problem was that all the things she had obtained were precious stones or diamond jewelry.

She had not managed to obtain any gold jewelry.

Precious stones were currently worthless. But gold was hard currency and these old people were very sharp. They did not use any of their gold. They kept it all!

They only brought out what was currently useless.

People who could produce so many precious stones would probably have plenty of gold too.

But Gu Qingyao did not care. If they did not give her gold, then so be it! To her, precious stones were just as good. In any case, the Gu family was not short of gold.

Before she came, Father had brought her to get some of the Gu family’s wealth. It was safest to put it with her. For the purpose of security, Father had slowly brought her much of the Gu family’s wealth over the past half a year.

Now she had more than thirty boxes in her interspace. Most of them were antiques, paintings or calligraphy. There were also two boxes of jewelry and four boxes of gold ingots.

Father said that there were more at home, but those had been hidden with even greater secrecy. Since they had remained undiscovered after so many years, he would not take them out for now, but just leave them there.

The Gu family’s ancestors were from an important family. Grandma was an only daughter, and had been born in one of the best and most wealthy families, so the Gu family’s wealth was truly formidable. Even though much had been lost, what they had left was still substantial.

Gu Qingyao tidied all these things away, then hurried to check on her goods. She noticed that she was running short of cloth sacks for holding food, so she hurried to make another dozen.

Business had been brisk the two times she had gone to the black market in the city. She could not control herself and had exchanged too many things, so she was almost out of bags.

She had plenty of cloth in her interspace, and also a sewing machine. Gu Qingyao sat at her machine and sewed swiftly. When she was done, she thought of how to get a hold of the entire set of ruby jewelry from that old man.

The next day, when Gu Qingyao got out of bed, Gu Jinlin was already making breakfast in the kitchen.

“Third Brother, why are you up so early? You came back so late last night.”
