Chapter 47: Transporting Qi

  "Your attitude, your behavior, make me think that none of these things are genuine." Gu Mian stepped forward, pointing to the items still on the table: "If you say there's a real one among these things, no matter what, you shouldn't be so careless and casual about throwing them onto the table. Note, I said 'throw'."

  The man clapped his hands and said with a tilted head: "Come to think of it, I really didn't notice that point, was I really careless?"

  "Although it's a bit exaggerated, but thinking about it, you indeed have been 'dumped'." The person who previously said that men are unlucky nodded in agreement.

  "Hmm, I suppose this is my oversight, but who set the rule that I must be careful? Even if all these things are genuine, breaking one or two wouldn't make me heartbroken. You're quite bold to judge based on this." The man said slowly as he looked at Gu Mian.

  "Details are just a very important issue. Before, you seemed to be casually tossing the box with the jade ring up and down, as if you didn't care at all, but if you observe carefully, you can find that every time you toss it upwards, the height is always the same, and the timing of catching it is also very accurate. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the box will absolutely not fall out of your hands. A person with such actions, how could they possibly treat antiques so carelessly by 'throwing' them around?" Gu Xiang smiled at the man.

  "It seems to make some sense, but it's still a bit far-fetched. Is there anything else?" The man straightened his back.

  "There's another important point, it seems like you're planning to use Zhou Tao as a plaything today. If something unexpected happens in the middle and Zhou Tao carelessly uses the real thing to vent his anger, regardless of whether that thing is valuable or not, I think you wouldn't want to be put on the spot and lose face in front of your friends. But if those things are all fake, even if Zhou Tao can't judge them correctly and makes some impolite moves, you won't suffer any losses, at most just wasting a bit of time, and you'll still get to see a wonderful show." Gu Xiang analyzed carefully.

  "It's not obvious, but you're quite meticulous." The man looked at Gu Mian with some surprise, neither acknowledging nor denying her analysis.

  "Our kind of appraisers, the most important thing is to be meticulous. If you're not careful, you might miss very important information and make a wrong judgment." Gu Ming accepted the other party's ambiguous words with equanimity.

  "You've managed to do that, but as for the other one..." The man shook his head, fiddling with the box in his hand, and continued: "But you're making your final judgment based on just these two points. Aren't you afraid of making a mistake? If you make even one mistake, you can forget about getting this jade ring back."

  "We're just guessing, all we need to see is if heaven is on our side, not those reasons that are worth considering. This opportunity was given by you, guessing correctly is Zhou Tao's luck, and guessing incorrectly is also his luck. Since he made the move of taking out the emerald ring in the first place, then he should accept the possibility of losing it." Gu Mian glanced at Zhou Tao.

  Zhou Tao's face suddenly turned bright red when he heard Gu Mian's words, and he lowered his head in shame. The joy he had felt earlier from correctly judging the situation and winning back the jade ring was also greatly diminished.

  Gu Mei saw Zhou Tao still knew shame, and finally felt that she hadn't wasted her efforts.

  Judging from the situation just now, Zhou Tao seems to still have some illusions about Zhang Tingting. If she doesn't take this opportunity to knock some sense into Zhou Tao, she's afraid that this fool will make similar mistakes again in the future.

  This busybody will not help for a second time after helping once, just hoping Zhou Tao's brain becomes slightly clearer after this incident.

  "It seems you really are lucky." The man let out a sigh, seemingly reluctantly accepting Gu Mian's answer.

  Gu Mei let out a slight sigh of relief, she couldn't possibly reveal that her left hand could distinguish between genuine and fake antiques. Facing the man's inquiry, she had to think of an excuse to cover up the truth.

  Her words sounded a bit rough and carried a large part of gambling, but thinking about it, it wasn't completely unreasonable. She had been with Du Hao for some time, so she did have some understanding of the habits and thoughts of wealthy people like him.

  The man in front of him doesn't seem to be the kind of person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, showing off his family background. So some things he does may seem a bit absurd at first glance, but in fact, everything is under his control. While enjoying entertainment and leisure, he will never put himself in a difficult situation where he can't advance or retreat.

  She guessed this sentence, which would neither make the other party feel embarrassed nor think that it was really their good luck, and could also cover up her own secret, a real two-for-one deal.

  "So now, shouldn't you return Zhou Tao's things to him?" Gu Mian was afraid that the situation would become complicated and only wanted to quickly get back Zhou Tao's jade ring and leave this place as soon as possible.

  The problem is she doesn't know if the other party will keep their promise or not, so she can only ask tentatively.

  She and Zhou Tao have been in a completely passive state from the beginning, whether or not they can get back the emerald ring depends not only on whether they can judge everything correctly, but also on what this man in front of them is thinking.

  Zhou Tao also looked at the man with a face full of expectation, thinking about her uncle's jade ring, and for the time being, she couldn't care about her own little thoughts.

  "This ring..." The man's words were cut off before he could finish.

  Knock knock knock...

  Someone is knocking on the door of the compartment.

  The person outside seemed anxious and didn't wait for a response from inside the private room before directly pushing open the door.

  "What's with you?" The man looked at the person who pushed in the door in surprise.

  Gu Meng was also staring at the newcomer in surprise, and it turned out that the first person to come in was none other than Du Hao. What made people even more speechless was that beside Du Hao was Qiao Qingya, whom she had met once at Jibao Mountain Villa.

  What are you newlyweds doing here instead of staying home and being sweet with each other on a late night like this!

  "What's wrong, isn't Ming Shao welcome? I heard someone say that Ming Shao was here, so I came over to take a look." Qiao Qingya linked her arm with Du Hao's and teased the man familiarly.

  Du Hao also had a smile on his face and nodded politely at the man, seemingly not seeing Gu Mian in the private room, without even giving him a glance.

  "How could I be unwelcome? I just didn't expect both of you to be here." The man stood up and walked towards Qiao Qingya.

  Qiao Qingya smiled slightly, her eyes scanning the room before stopping briefly on Gu Tian and Zhou Tao, then quickly turning back to the man with a hint of apology: "It seems we've come at a bad time?"
