The next day, early in the morning.
Su Hua and Gu Beixian were dining in front of the elegant French dining table.
The phone suddenly rang.
Su Hua glanced at it and saw that it was Gu Jinyao calling.
After the call was connected, a deep and pleasant bass came from the phone, "How are you preparing for pregnancy?"
Su Hua smiled, "I'm pregnant. The baby is more than three months old."
It was quiet for a second.
Gu Jinyao said slowly, "Congratulations!"
There was genuine joy in her voice.
Su Hua smiled sweetly, "Thank you."
"You must tell me when the child is born."
"Will do."
Gu Beixian heard Gu Jinyao's voice, stretched out his hand, held Su Hua's hand, put his fingertips on her palm, and scratched her gently as if flirting.
It made her palms itch.
Su Hua raised her eyes and glanced at him gently.
I understand his little thoughts so well.
He already has children, so I wonder what else he is worried about.
Gu Jinyao said to Su Hua: "I'm looking for you today because of some work-related matters. I have a piece of Fu Baoshi's "Sky Boat Sleeping Picture" here. The treasure appraisers in the auction house said it was genuine, so I asked an outside expert to look at it. , also said to be genuine. But I think something is not right, and I can’t tell exactly where it is. Aye is proficient in bronzes and porcelain, but he is not very proficient in ancient calligraphy and painting. Can you help me take a look? If it is inconvenient, forget it. .”
Su Hua hurriedly replied: "Okay, I can't do the repair work for the time being, but I can do the appraisal, it's a simple task."
Gu Jinyao asked: "When is it convenient for you? I will send someone to pick you up."
"I'm free at any time, and all the work I'm doing almost stops."
"Then at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, I can just go there in the car, you don't need to send someone to pick you up."
"Well, wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Su Hua put the phone on the table.
Gu Beixian stretched out his slender arms, put his arms around her shoulders, picked up a piece of pan-fried snow steak with a fork, and fed it into her mouth.
Su Hua opened her mouth and ate it, "It's work, don't worry about it."
"Don't worry, you already have my baby in your belly, what else are you worried about?"
Suhua frowned slightly and looked at him meaningfully, "Then you scratched my palms, hugged me, and fed me again. Why are they so sticky?"
Gu Beixian said duplicity: "Don't be sentimental, I'm not doing it for you, I'm trying to cultivate a relationship with my son. Gu Jinyao is too good, I'm afraid my son will be attracted to him."
Su Hua couldn't help but laugh, "A fetus of more than three months is about to be called a fairy by you."
"Don't underestimate prenatal education, it's very effective. When Ms. Qin was pregnant with me, my grandfather was seriously ill. She had insomnia all day long and couldn't sleep, so she used the radio to listen to news and financial programs to hypnotize her. As a result, other children loved watching cartoons when they were young. , but I only like to watch news and financial programs. Even Lao Gu was amazed and said that she gave birth to a business genius."
Su Hua couldn't laugh or cry.
Gu Beixian picked up his cell phone and called Gu Nanyin, "At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, you accompany your sister-in-law to the Zhengrong Auction House."
Gu Nanyin said crisply: "What is the reward?"
"You are allowed to hold my son."
"I not only want to hold your son, but I also want to kiss your son, change his diapers, play with him, and be his godmother."
Gu Beixian raised his eyebrows, "Auntie and aunt are all you, aren't you satisfied?"
Gu Nanyin said: "The more, the merrier!"
The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
Accompanied by bodyguards, Su Hua and Gu Nanyin arrived at the Zhengrong Auction House on time.
Gu Jinyao was waiting at the gate of the auction house in advance.
Seeing Su Hua get out of the car, he strode over to meet her and was about to reach out to help her.
Gu Nanyin took the lead, held Su Hua's arm, smiled at Gu Jinyao and said, "Brother, I can take care of such a small matter without you having to worry about it."
Gu Jinyao smiled very softly.
He led Su Hua and Gu Nanyin upstairs to the treasure appraisal room.
The staff took out a painting from a special cabinet.
It is Fu Baoshi's "The Picture of Sleeping in a Boat".
Fu Baoshi is a famous landscape painting master in my country, especially fond of painting boating pictures.
With just a few strokes, the ethereal and poetic mood of the picture can be outlined, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.
"The Sleeping Boat" is a work created by Master Fu during his peak period in the 1940s.
His works have now been sold in the tens of millions.
A painting of a lady made for his beloved wife was sold for 85 million yuan not long ago, 97.75 million yuan plus commission, which is a sky-high price.
Gu Jinyao said to Su Hua: "The person who sold the painting was in urgent need of money and offered to sell it to me for 18 million. Everyone confirmed that it was genuine and tested it with instruments. The age of the paper and paint was correct. Please confirm again. If If it’s genuine, we’ll accept it.”
Su Hua stared at the painting carefully for a few times.
The artistry, painting style and seal are indeed Fu Baoshi's, and it's impossible to tell the authenticity from the fake.
Su Hua picked up the magnifying glass and looked carefully.
The more he looked, the more solemn his expression became.
Ten minutes later.
Su Hua said to Gu Jinyao: "The painting is real, but it is a revealing painting. If you guessed correctly, a painting has been revealed into more than three pieces. This should be the middle layer, and the color of the middle layer will be brighter than the first layer. It's light. I have a master touch up the color. The paint is from the 1940s. It can be collected, but it costs 18 million. Ancient paintings are inherently rare and expensive. One painting reveals three paintings. It’s not worth anything anymore.”
Gu Jinyao thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Let's have lunch together?"
Su Hua smiled slightly and said, "I am pregnant now and have some scruples about eating. I will eat this meal later."
"Then go to my office and have a drink."
"good."
Su Hua and Gu Nanyin came to his office with Gu Jinyao.
The secretary serves tea.
Pregnant women cannot drink tea, so Gu Jinyao asked Su Hua for a cup of hot milk.
He walked to the safe, opened it, took out a few brocade boxes, and handed them to Su Hua, "Take a look, do you like them?"
Su Hua opened it and took a look.
Inside are safety buckles made of fine Hetian jade, long-life locks and bracelets made of pure gold.
Gu Jinyao smiled lightly, "I prepared it early in the morning, and I can finally send it out."
Su Hua was deeply moved, "It's too precious, I can't have it."
"It's not for you, it's for my nephew."
Su Hua keenly heard a subtle change. He regarded himself as the child's uncle.
This is Gu Beixian's side.
It was hard to refuse such kindness, so Su Hua accepted it.
After sitting for a while, the two left.
Gu Jinyao sent them downstairs.
He followed Su Hua, his eyes fixed on her, and his arms kept slightly raised.
In that stance, if Suhua's feet were even slightly unsteady, he would immediately rush over to support her.
Gu Nanyin, who came with a mission, noticed it.
She stopped, turned around, and smiled sweetly at Gu Jinyao, "Brother, if you meet a suitable girl, go out and date her. Of these people, the one I love most, besides our two brothers, is you. Really, I I dream of you marrying me."
The same words sounded particularly pleasant when spoken from Nanyin's mouth.
Gu Jinyao raised the corners of his lips, "Okay, I'll marry the right one."
Gu Nanyin blinked his big eyes, "Do you want me to introduce it to you? What do you like?"
Gu Jinyao said quietly: "I accept the kindness, but let's wait for fate."
Gu Nanyin asked: "Do you still have contact with Sister Zhanzhi?"
"No contact for a long time."
Gu Nanyin's eyes darkened, "What a pity, such a lovely tooth cleaning sister."
While he was talking, a stretched Maybach drove over from far away and stopped abruptly at the gate of the auction house.
The driver got out of the car and opened the rear door.
A pair of straight long legs protruded from the inside, and the dark couture trousers were pressed crisply.
Then a handsome and elegant man walked down.
The man walked toward Su Hua with his long legs, his steps were as smooth as the wind, and his demeanor was graceful.
It was Gu Beixian.
When he arrived, Gu Beixian said to Gu Jinyao: "It's not that I don't worry about you, I'm going to the branch to inspect, and I happened to be passing by. Suddenly I missed Su Hua and the child, so I stopped by to pick her up."
When I heard this, I realized that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Gu Jinyao's face remained calm, "Congratulations."
Gu Beixian patted him on the shoulder and said, "I wish you will be single soon."
"Jingle Bell!"
Su Hua's cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone from his bag and glanced at it. It was Gu Aoting calling.
Su Hua clicked to connect.
Gu Aoting's voice sounded like a bell from the phone, "Daughter-in-law, where are you?"
The voice was so loud that others could hear it without having to turn it up.
Su Hua replied: "I'm at the Zhengrong Auction House. Are you busy?"
"I sent someone to buy your favorite Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. I happened to be passing by and planned to deliver it to you."
"Sister-in-law Liu is at home, just give it to her, thank you dad."
"What does one family say to two families? By the way, ask Ayao, do you want me to help him arrange a blind date? It's time for a twenty-eight-year-old to get a wife."
When Gu Jinyao heard this, his eyes changed slightly.
I doubt my ears a bit.
Is this still the cold-blooded, selfish Gu Aoting he knew?
He actually started to care about himself.
Gu Jinyao raised his head and looked at the sky.
The bright sun hangs in the southeast, not from the west.
