Chapter 668

So she drew many jewelry and fashion designs and handed many exquisitely embroidered pieces to her older cousins so that she could get the best price for them.

The money naturally came rolling in.

Lately, she had been working on skincare products and perfumes. She dabbled in these in her previous life as well.

As the Gu family’s eldest young lady and an expert physician, her life had been very good.

She usually made these skincare products herself. She had also studied perfumes in her previous life and had even won an international competition in blending perfumes!

But in her previous life, she had not spent much time in these areas. In fact, she had not dealt with them much. It was just a hobby that she used to make products for herself or for gifts.

She still preferred trading in commodities.

But things were different now!

Her older cousins were in this line, and she had the time now, so why let the opportunity go to waste?

She had been in the Qiao family for half a year. Qiao Yuying often had to do business in faraway places, so Gu Qingyao had gone to Hong Kong twice with her.

She had specially gathered information on antiques from China. On both visits, they were fortunate enough to encounter large batches of Chinese antiques.

The first batch consisted of porcelain and decorative items. There were nearly a hundred items. The second batch consisted of antique paintings. There were over sixty paintings. Gu Qingyao examined them and saw that they were authentic. Although their prices varied, there were definitely many good items there.

They spent less than a million in total. At the moment, she had no problem coming up with a sum like that.

Her mother also had a large collection of such things, so she had many connections in this area. They went twice and managed to collect such items both times. Many rich people in Hong Kong were interested in such things. If they had arrived a little later, they would not have been able to obtain them.

When they got back, Gu Qingyao rolled on her bed in delight. Oh, oh, oh, she just had to wait for their value to rise!

She was delighted to earn money, but Grandma Qiao was dismayed.

Finally, there was someone in the family who was talented in medicine, but they had lured her into business. This must be stopped. She must correct this wayward child.

Grandma Qiao earnestly remonstrated with her. “Yao Yao! Don’t you think we have plenty of money? If you need money, you can just let me know. In fact, you don’t even need to tell me. In the future, I will make those jerks give you a regular allowance. You can have as much as you want. And your mother, uncles and grandparents will all give you an allowance, all right?

“Won’t you learn medicine from Grandma? Medicine is so meaningful! You can heal the sick, save lives, and deliver all living things from torment. It’s such a noble thing, isn’t it? Business is too tough! Let’s not learn about that, all right?”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

True, she could heal the sick and save lives. But deliver all living things from torment?

Surely she did not have the ability to do that?

Grandma dragged Gu Qingyao to her own study. The Qiao home was very large and had many studies. Because everyone needed a space to work, and they usually stayed together, almost everyone in the family had their own study.

Grandfather and Grandma shared a study. Their study was especially large and mostly consisted of Grandma’s medical books.

The study had a vintage look. All its furnishings were antiques and the walls were almost completely covered with bookshelves that were filled with books.

Gu Qingyao was amazed when she saw it!

Grandma Qiao said smugly, “Look, Yao Yao, I have collected all these over the years. Most of the books here are related to medicine. I found a way to bring most of them from China! Many of them are the only existing copies.

“There are many secret formulas to preserve health which were used only by the ladies in the imperial palace. They were not circulated outside the palace!”
