Chapter 208 -208: This Might Be the Person Ning Wanru Sent to Supervise Her
Actually, if we’re talking about the collection value, two hundred thousand isn’t that expensive. However, since the carver of the jade carving is Gu Qiaoqiao, even the best items turn into junk.
Still, Gu Qiaoqiao was quite the character, truly daring to ask for the sky.
He glanced one more time, then turned and left.
Since Ning Wanru didn’t order anyone to be killed, they had no way to stop Uncle Gu from going to the Qin Family to pick someone up.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao made a few simple dishes for Grandma Qin, and after the two had eaten, Gu Qiaoqiao called Luo Fan.
Luo Fan was still in the city of the North, having just returned from Stone Town.
Chang Qing had scored very well, securing the top rank in the province.
This time, Luo Fan took Chang Qing to the city, arranging for him to work in a hotel.
They provided room and board, and the treatment was quite good.
After hearing Luo Fan’s account, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and said, “Chang Qing is a grateful and good kid; you helped him, and he won’t forget you.”
Luo Fan also smiled, nodded in agreement, and after speaking a few words, Gu Qiaoqiao talked to him about her father’s book.
“I also think it’s been suppressed for too long, because there aren’t many manuscripts now. I even heard Director Yu recently complaining about a severe shortage of manuscripts. He even asked me if I knew any writers because he wanted to commission some work…”
“I’ll go to the magazine office this afternoon,” Gu Qiaoqiao said softly.
“Okay, you go ahead. They start work at one-thirty. I’ll call Director Yu right away, and you can look for him directly when you get there.”
“Okay, thanks for that.”
“Why thank me? If anyone, my grandfather and I should be thanking you,” Luo Fan said meaningfully.
Upon thinking it over, Gu Qiaoqiao realized that was true.
Then she started discussing other matters with Luo Fan, everything was fine at home, and she felt at ease.
After she hung up the phone, Gu Qiaoqiao was musing that, according to the timeline, the manuscript was clearly being suppressed.
After experiencing so much, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but wonder if someone had tampered with it.
Glancing at the time, Gu Qiaoqiao picked up her purse and left the house.
Just as she was walking out of the compound, Big Yellow was visibly agitated. Since her return, Gu Qiaoqiao had been the one feeding him and Mao Mao.
Hence, Big Yellow and Mao Mao were very close to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Every time they saw Gu Qiaoqiao, they would excitedly crowd around her, jumping up and down.
Then they would eagerly wait for Gu Qiaoqiao to run her fingers through their fur, both the big and the small one.
Gu Qiaoqiao even thought, at this rate, perhaps Big Yellow and Mao Mao might turn into spirits.
But today something was off.
They were restlessly circling in front of and behind Gu Qiaoqiao, then both dashed towards the gate.
Big Yellow was tied up.
The yard of Qin Family Old Residence was large, and many people here kept dogs.
The Qin Family was no exception.
And this Big Yellow was a descendant of a military dog, very powerful.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a stir in her heart.
Then she looked toward the firmly closed iron gate.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked down at Big Yellow again, feeling that although Big Yellow was anxious, he still seemed eager to dash.
Gu Qiaoqiao unleashed Big Yellow’s chain, and once free of restraint, he shot towards the gate like an arrow.
Gu Qiaoqiao called out softly, “Big Yellow, stop!”
She couldn’t be at ease with Big Yellow in this state; what if he went out and bit someone.
However, Big Yellow was quite clever.
After hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice, Mao Mao became exceptionally obedient, just like Big Yellow. They stood side by side, both looking up at Gu Qiaoqiao as if they were soldiers listening to their commanding officer’s speech.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but smile, then she reassuredly opened the gate.
With both dogs, she stood outside the Qin Family’s main entrance.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s sharp eyes caught a panicked figure flickering at the corner.
Considering what she had seen the day before, Gu Qiaoqiao knew this was likely someone Ning Wanru had sent to spy on her.
There was no question about it.
It was normal for Ning Wanru to send someone to watch her in order to control their family.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought that the best course of action would be to severe Ning Wanru’s overreaching hands to teach them a lesson, so they would think twice before trying anything again.
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out and gently patted Big Yellow’s head, whispering, “Don’t hurt anyone, just scare the bad guys a bit.”
