Chapter 702: Mysterious Person (2)
Gu Qingyao stopped him and asked, “You bought a lot of gemstones and treasures and kept them with me back in the country. Do you need them now?”
Mo Beihan looked at her and smiled. “Between us, do we still need to differentiate whose item belongs to who?”
Gu Qingyao replied, “I’m scared that you don’t have enough money to spend.”
Mo Beihan looked at her for a while before sighing. He still could not bear to make her worry.
“Give me some gold and those diamonds that I pa.s.sed you. Gemstones are fine too.”
Gu Qingyao took out a batch of gold and a small bag of diamonds from her inters.p.a.ce.
A total of 89 bright, sparkly and dazzling diamonds laid in the small bag.
Mo Beihan traded for these from an influential capitalist back then.
That person lived very miserably back then but possessed quite many valuable items. He fell ill and did not have much time left hence he traded all his material goods away to live more comfortably in his last moments.
Back then, Mo Beihan had a lot of supplies, and that old man was willing to trade with him.
Mo Beihan traded them using 50 catties of rice and flour each, 20 catties of pork and mutton each, some eggs, red wine, sugar and canned food.
These supplies were enough for the old man to live for the rest of his life, and he was elated.
After receiving the items, Mo Beihan picked out about ten pink diamonds that were extremely rare and placed them in Gu Qingyao’s hand. “Leave these. You can use these to make some jewelry for yourself.”
Afterward, he pulled her into his arms and pinched her chin. “Don’t worry blindly. I will come back tonight to accompany you. All right?”
He landed a kiss on her forehead.
Gu Qingyao nodded obediently and walked him to the door.
After Mo Beihan left, Gu Qingyao went about her own business. In the evening, a car stopped at the door of Gu Qingyao’s house. An elderly with a distinguished demeanor and elegance rang the doorbell.
Gu Qingyao’s brows furrowed slightly at the sight of the person.
The elderly was very respectful toward Gu Qingyao and bowed slightly. “Miss Gu!”
Gu Qingyao did not reply.
The elderly was a Frenchman with blonde hair and blue eyes. His face was etched with wrinkles that evidently marked his age!
There was a hint of pleading in his tone!
“Miss Gu, Sir requests your presence. We really need you!”
Gu Qingyao knew what this old man was here for. After remaining silent for a while, she nodded and agreed, “Let’s go!”
Delighted, the old man hurriedly made way for Gu Qingyao.
“Wait for a while. I’ll take my medicine kit!”
“Sure, sure, sure! Please go ahead!”
The elderly was rather old already but still treated Gu Qingyao with great respect.
Gu Qingyao entered the house to take a small box before coming out.
The old man personally opened the car door for Gu Qingyao and started the car. An hour later, they arrived at an antique castle manor.
The large iron gates opened for the car to drive in. Pa.s.sing by a long garden and a grand fountain pool, the car eventually stopped at the entrance of the main house.
The old man was the butler of this place and had a very high prestige here. As he led Gu Qingyao in, the uniformed servants at both sides of the door bowed to greet them.
This was a cla.s.sic European-styled castle. Pa.s.sing through the luxurious living room, the butler led Gu Qingyao up the stairs and eventually stopped at a small living room for receiving guests.
In reality, this small living room was not small at all, and it could even be said to be very s.p.a.cious. However, in comparison to the living room on the lower floor, it was indeed smaller.
This was where the owner lived, and those who were received here were the owner’s most respected, closest and trusted friends!
