Nian Wanru was slightly startled as she glanced at Gu Qingyao. Only then did she hesitantly nod her head.

Ling Xiaoman, who was at the side, also smiled and looked over: "Did Madam bring an antique? It seems like the advice that Gourmet has given me is correct, Mr. Gu really likes antiques.

Gu Yanzhi nodded in satisfaction, then looked towards Nian Wanru and urged him: "Go."

How could Nian Wanru not know that if she went, it would really be a bomb that weighs a lot.

She frowned, but still nodded her head and agreed. "En, alright."

Nian Wanru smiled as she passed the box over. She saw Gu Yuanshan frowning as she studied the ink stone that Ling Xiaoman had given him. It was indeed an antique, but it looked weird no matter how she looked at it.

He frowned and looked at Nian Wanru with uninterested eyes: "This is …"

"It's also an inkstone platform, but speaking of it, it's a little similar to Assistant Ling's." Nian Wanru said with a smile.

Gu Yuanshan nodded his head, he then frowned and looked at Ling Xiaoman, and accepted the gift box from her.

The ancient and generous gift box was gently untied with a strap. Gu Yuanshan understood with a glance.

Many people could not help but look over. This atmosphere was a little strange, Gu Yanzhi's special assistance and Gu Yanzhi's Madam who kept proclaiming that their relationship was good, were they giving the same thing?

Some of the people who had approached earlier wanted to praise them, but upon seeing these two items, they immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, not daring to say a single word.

Good boy, this is the exact same inkstone, right?

How is that possible?

This kind of thing had always been particular about where it came from. It was used by the emperor during the Ming Dynasty, so there shouldn't be two of them …

"Since it's a good item, I'll accept it. It's as if I've thought about it." Gu Yuanshan did not say a word about Ling Xiaoman. Ling Xiaoman was a little confused, but she still did not say a word.

On the other hand, Nian Wanru laughed and spoke up: "Assistant Ling is quite considerate, I am indeed not knowledgeable about antiques, it's just that this square inkstone was bought by Mr Xu Wen at the time, and then gave to Yan Zhi as a gift. I wonder where Assistant Ling's square inkstone came from?"

"This," How could Ling Xiaoman not understand right now? Her mind was wandering, but her face was already completely pale. "This inkstone was left behind by grandfather, it looked like it was a treasure, so I gave it to Mr. Gu."

How could the crowd not understand his words?

~ It must be that Ling Xiaoman took the fake and threw it out right in front of everyone's eyes, it is truly the biggest joke in the world.

Ling Xiaoman remembered that her ink stone had been taken over by Gu Qingyao and Nian Wanru, she immediately understood everything.

Her expression was very ugly, and she could only force a smile. "Did I make a mistake? The Mr. Gu is too rude. "

Gu Yuanshan looked at Ling Xiaoman, and thought of what Gu Yanzhi had said before. He creased his brows: "You may go, as Yan Zhi is your special assistant, I believe you have a lot of matters to attend to, so you don't need to stay here today."

"Yes." Ling Xiaoman took a rare step and left in a hurry.

She knew that she had become the laughingstock of these people, but Ling Xiaoman did not have the time to care about them.

Gu Qingyao laughed, then saw that Gu Yanzhi's face was extremely ugly.

She lowered her eyes, but her gaze slowly turned cold.

He didn't know if it was Gu Yanzhi who dropped the gift, deliberately making Ling Xiaoman embarrass her in front of everyone, or if all of this was Ling Xiaoman's doing.

But she knew that Gu Yanzhi was definitely not innocent in this matter.

Gu Yuanshan's expression remained indifferent as he received the two gifts. He then said something to the butler and thanked Nian Wanru.

Nian Wanru naturally knew what had happened. She walked down and sat beside Gu Yanzhi.

"Yan …"

"Let's talk about this later." Gu Yanzhi said in a heavy voice.

Nian Wanru's heart sunk, and nodded in agreement.

Gu Yuanshan's Birthday Feast was nothing more than that, everyone chatted and talked about business.

Nian Wanru was already used to such occasions, so she naturally toasted to the masses and quickly struck a few deals. Like this, when Gu Yuanshan saw Li Muyan's present, the Birthday Feast was already about to disperse.

He took out the gift box, and his face immediately turned cold. "Who brought this?"

The butler took a look and said: "It's Miss Gu Qingyao."

"Gu Qingyao?" Gu Yuanshan was shocked.

He turned his head to glance at the nearby Gu Qingyao, and said thoughtfully: "Qingyao, this year has changed quite a bit."

"That's right," The butler didn't understand what was going on and only nodded with a smile. "Miss Gu has grown up quite a bit now."

"Hmm …" Gu Yuanshan laughed, and waved Gu Qingyao over.

Nian Wanru subconsciously patted the back of her hand, telling Gu Qingyao to control her emotions and not to make Gu Yuanshan angry.

Gu Yuanshan's attitude towards Gu Qingyao had always been neither cold nor hot. Even though he was the only member of the younger generation in the family, Gu Yuanshan had always hoped that Nian Wanru would give birth to a son. In the end, a girl came out of nowhere. Gu Qingyao also had a stubborn temper. He was a spoiled brat in his family, how could he accept such cold treatment? After coming and going, Gu Qingyao basically did not pay attention to Gu Yuanshan anymore.

At this time, Gu Yuanshan stared at Gu Qingyao for a while, then laughed: "Li Muyan asked you to bring this to me?"

"Yes, grandpa's happy birthday." Gu Qingyao laughed.

The expression in Gu Yuanshan's eyes changed slightly.

Gu Qingyao had changed. Her change was so obvious that even her emotions were not easily exposed.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuanshan slowly said: "When did you start to get to know Li Muyan?"

"Not exactly familiar, but we've met a few times." Gu Qingyao explained in a very natural manner.

Even if she wasn't familiar with him, he could just entrust his birthday present to her?

"Hmm, did your father say it? The relationship between Li Muyan and our Gu family." Gu Yuanshan's tone was very gentle, but his gaze was fixated on Gu Qingyao's face.

Gu Qingyao nodded: "Yes."

"That's good. Although he's your Little Uncle in name, he's not really close to the Gu family in all these years." Gu Yuanshan let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with an unspeakable emotion. He was silent for a while, then said: "Alright, getting close to Li Muyan isn't anything bad, Grandfather doesn't say much, it's just that you're not young anymore, so don't let others pick on you. When the time comes, you'll lose our Gu family's face too, understand?"

Gu Qingyao was slightly startled, and said: "I don't understand what grandfather means."

"You and Li Muyan were secretly filmed?" Gu Yuanshan asked with a frown.
