Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

The earliest forgery emerged about eight hundred years ago, and it was crazily collected by many calligraphy and painting enthusiasts.

Its auction price on the black market once reached millions.

They carefully stored this painting and calligraphy, and during another gathering, Old Master Shang, out of a desire to show off, brought it out.

Unexpectedly, it was authenticated as the genuine piece by the most famous expert in calligraphy and painting from New Nation.

That night, everyone was so excited that they couldn't speak coherently.

It wasn't about how much this painting could be sold for, but because everyone believed that this authentic piece had already faded into the dust of history.

Yet unexpectedly, it survived more than a thousand years.

How could they not be overjoyed?

The next day, Old Master Shang asked Shang Qing to invite Dongfang Yu to the Shang Family for a banquet.

At that time, Shang Qing thought that after the phone call on the night of the Lantern Festival, the two of them wouldn't have any contact again, as there were many matters she shouldn't be involved in.

Moreover, it was evident that Dongfang Yu didn't want her to be involved in these matters.

That night, she got Dongfang Yu's assurance, and she felt it would be fine to just let things remain calm, since, in her heart, her best friend was still Gu Qiaoqiao.

But unexpectedly, her grandfather gave her a command to surely invite Dongfang Yu to the Shang Family.

Helplessly, she made a phone call, not expecting Dongfang Yu to accept the invitation willingly.

Then, at the banquet, he casually recounted how he acquired the painting to Old Master Shang.

It sounded like a story, thrilling yet also surprisingly twisty.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yu's knowledge was incredibly vast.

Old Master Shang even regarded him as a friend despite the age difference.

Thus, naturally, they began to interact.

Clearly, Dongfang Yu showed no aversion.

Shang Qing didn't understand why Dongfang Yu didn't reject these interactions; in her mind, Dongfang Yu was like a hermit from the world, not someone who should be mingling with them. He should maintain the mysterious aura of a worldly hermit.

Yet, observing soberly, Dongfang Yu in front of Old Master Shang appeared like a humble, polite young scholar well-versed in texts.

Thus, Shang Qing couldn't refuse his visits, despite that each time she called him to come, the call was at her grandfather's behest.

But deep in her heart, she wanted to see Dongfang Yu.

In Shang Qing's eyes, there wasn't a feeling of facing an old monster or a wizard, she merely saw a young man of unmatched elegance, gentle as jade, polite, and handsome.

Shang Qing had never encountered such a person before; he seemed out of place with this crowd, yet if he chose to, in an instant he could blend in among them, and effortlessly won everyone's affection.

For example, the Shang Family now praises him highly, and even Old Master Shang has a notion of wanting Dongfang Yu as his grandson-in-law.

Therefore, to Shang Qing, Dongfang Yu had an unparalleled allure hidden deep within her suppressed heart.

However, she forcefully suppressed it, refusing to involve herself in such matters.

If she didn't know Gu Qiaoqiao, it might be easier; they could do as they wished, and she wouldn't be so troubled.

However, she knew Gu Qiaoqiao first, and they were good friends, having experienced life and death together.

Thus, Shang Qing felt somewhat torn.

She hadn't been in contact with Gu Qiaoqiao for some time...
