Chapter 862: The Painting Given to Old Master Shang Was Actually an Original
Moreover, she also understood that Master Fong truly only did things based on his interests.
He was not thinking about expanding his culinary skills here or passing them on.
She hoped that in this lifetime, Master Fong would happily do what he wanted, without being burdened by someone like her anymore.
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked hard and looked back at Qin Yize's calm face.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao really wanted to ask Qin Yize, why didn't you tell me these things back then?
If you had told me the truth, wouldn't I have left that world filled with resentment?
Although your warmth does not pertain to love.
Yet, it too is a strength that can support me to continue moving forward.
It's just a pity, until her death, she never saw him.
In the affairs of the world, every drink and every peck has its fate.
Then what exactly is Gu Qiaoqiao's fate?
She felt a bit lost.
Beside her, Qin Yize seemed to sense Gu Qiaoqiao's emotional unease, his brow slightly furrowed as he walked, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao and softly asked, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?"
Gu Qiaoqiao snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head, "No, what could be on my mind?"
Then, she let out a long sigh in her heart, concealed all expressions in her eyes, lightly tapped Qin Yize's hand, and gently said, "Let's go, Xiaotong and the others must be impatiently waiting."
This was the first time Gu Qiaoqiao took the initiative to show intimacy towards him.
Qin Yize thought this was progress.
A great progress, he felt happy inside, curled his lips up, and stopped asking further, instead leading Gu Qiaoqiao towards the direction of the private room.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the private room.
Old friends gathering together naturally brings joy, and the hint of worry between An Xiaotong's brows seemed to have disappeared, she appeared much more mature.
It must be the months of studies abroad that taught her many things, her every movement carried a different aura from before.
At this moment, An Xiaotong increasingly had the charm of a white-collar lady.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao keenly noticed that Shang Qing seemed to have something on her mind.
She sat beside Shang Qing, nudged Shang Qing's arm with her elbow, and asked softly, "What are you thinking about? You look like you've lost your soul."
Originally, Gu Qiaoqiao was joking, but unexpectedly Shang Qing seemed startled, then noticed it was Gu Qiaoqiao who touched her, she quietly exhaled a sigh of relief and quickly argued, "I'm not thinking about anything..."
"With that absent-minded look, still saying you're not thinking about anything?" Gu Qiaoqiao pointed out unceremoniously.
Then she placed a cup of tea in front of Shang Qing and said, "Have some water."
Shang Qing quickly picked up the teacup, indeed, she felt a bit dry-mouthed, perhaps because of nervousness, actually she really had something on her mind.
She was thinking about Dongfang Yu and the Gu Family.
She didn't dare tell Gu Qiaoqiao, she was currently in contact with Dongfang Yu.
The reason for the contact was that the first time Dongfang Yu visited and gifted Old Master Shang that painting was actually an original.
At that time, both Old Master Shang and Shang Qing's father truly did not expect that the painting was an original.
We must know that this painting had been lost for over a thousand years.
Even a reproduction would be incredibly precious.
At that time, Old Master Shang and Shang Qing's father were thinking that this was a life-saving grace, and besides, Dongfang Yu was no ordinary person.
So when he could present this imitated counterfeit, they were already quite thrilled.
