This international exchange meeting came to a perfect close with Gu Mian and Qin Sheng winning the first prize, and the celebration party was also considered successful. Gu Mian and others left the hotel where they were staying the next day and headed to the airport to return home.

  Just like when he came, Gu Ming continued to sleep on the return flight and woke up almost at his destination.

  Ji Yun had received the news early and was waiting outside the airport. When she saw Gu Mian following the professors out, she immediately walked over.

  After all, they had just gotten off the plane after sitting for so long, and this time they had gained a lot. Professor Guan asked the director for instructions and then generously let everyone go home to rest, and return to work tomorrow.

  Everyone except Wang Juan expressed their joy, and Wang Juan had been sulking without speaking since she was ordered not to attend the celebration banquet, while others were too lazy to pay attention to her.

  Because of Gu Mian's relationship, her mother Ji Yun and Professor Wang had also met several times. This time, seeing her daughter return safely from abroad, the heart that had been hanging in the air finally felt at ease. She repeatedly thanked Professor Wang, then greeted other professors and colleagues before pulling Gu Mian home.

  All the way, her mother was concerned about Gu Mian's life abroad. Although Gu Mian called home every day, listening to her mother's nagging concerns made her heart feel sweet and she hugged her mother tightly.

  "Alright, you're such a big kid now, and yet you're still throwing a tantrum!" Mom Ji Yun looked at the taxi driver with some embarrassment, stretched out her hand to point at Gu Mian's forehead: "Your grandfather knew you were coming back today, he originally wanted to come pick you up, but I was afraid he'd get carsick so I didn't let him. This morning he kept urging me to go to the market and buy vegetables for you. You should properly comfort your grandfather later."

  "This goes without saying, I also brought gifts for you." Gu Mei smiled at her mother.

  "I didn't tell you not to waste money, your grandfather and I are fine, we don't lack anything." Mom gently pinched Gu Mian's cheek.

  "It's not like it's something expensive, just some small trinkets that look interesting. If they were really valuable, I'm not even sure if customs would let me bring them in!" With that, Gu Mei began to tell her mom in detail about what she had bought and where she had gone.

  This time abroad exchange is considered a business trip, due to the tight schedule, actually except for that day when I went to the flea market with Qin Sheng, I didn't go anywhere else. It makes her feel a little regretful, thinking that next time she has the chance, she must go alone and take a good tour.

  As soon as I got home and entered the door, I saw my grandfather sitting in the living room. My grandfather was also very concerned when he saw Gu Mian, and he repeated the questions my mother had asked before.

  Gu Mian didn't mind Grandpa's nagging either. She answered honestly and then took out the small toys she had bought to show Grandpa.

  Received a gift from his granddaughter bought from abroad, Grandpa was overjoyed. Looking at the gift in front of him, he was so happy that his mouth almost couldn't close.

  "Has there been any guest at home in the past few days?" Gu Ming looked at the fruit basket on the coffee table, which was obviously a gift, and couldn't help but ask.

  "Yesterday your second uncle and that Peng Jun came over, this fruit basket was bought by Peng Jun." Grandpa mentioned Peng Jun. The smile on his face also faded a little.

  He and Peng Jun partnered to open a restaurant, but an accident occurred, and he almost ended up in jail. He was extremely disappointed with his own son, and as for Peng Jun, he really didn't have any good feelings towards him. If it weren't for Gu Rong's apologetic smile, he might not even let Peng Jun enter the house.

  "What is he doing coming to our home?" Gu Mei heard that her grandfather did not mention Er Yi, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but when she heard that Peng Jun was among the people who came, she felt somewhat displeased.

  Grandfather bent down and took out a box of candies from under the tea table, placing it in front of Gu Mian: "He came to give you candies, he's getting married next month."

  Gu Xiang shook her head secretly, the restaurant's matter had just been resolved not long ago. Peng Jun was going to prepare for a wedding again, but this time he wouldn't have any reason to ask Grandpa for money, so she didn't need to worry too much about it.

  "Alas. We've received a red bomb." Gu Ming looked at the small card in the candy box and found that Peng Jun's wedding banquet was not far from their home.

  "It's just a formality, no need to make a big deal out of it." Grandpa didn't show much interest in Peng Jun's marriage. He still remembered how his second aunt had shamelessly come to their doorstep asking to rent their house as the new home for Peng Jun's wedding.

  "Hmm." For a decision made by Grandfather, Gu Meng naturally wouldn't have any opinions.

  Anyway, they and Peng Jun are just relatives separated by a layer, even if Peng Jun didn't invite them, it would be okay to say that now he has invited them, they can't directly refuse, at noon go show their faces, according to the market price give a red envelope, that's about it.

  "Ah, right." Grandpa seemed to have thought of something and quickly got up and went back to his room. A moment later, he came out again with something in his hand: "Is this yours?"

  Gu Mei raised her head to take a look, and it turned out to be the jade sheep she had put in the drawer. The jade sheep was still the reward she got after helping Yu Xiao identify a large number of antiques last time.

  "Grandpa, how did this end up in your hand? Didn't I put it in the drawer?" Gu Mian took the jade sheep from Grandpa's hand.

  As soon as her left hand came into contact with the jade sheep, it transmitted a warm temperature, and the bleating sound of "mā mā mā" also emerged from Gu Xiang's heart.

  "You'd better put this thing away properly from now on, don't just casually leave it in the drawer. Your mom and I won't say anything, but if someone else sees it and does something reckless, that wouldn't be good." Grandpa shook his head and sighed.

  "What's wrong? Has someone moved my things?" Gu Mian slightly frowned.

  She dislikes it the most when others casually move her things, even if it's her mother occasionally helping her clean up, she only tidies up the surface, and anything she puts in her drawers or cabinets is never touched. Everyone at home knows this, and even when Gu Nang comes to play, she will remember this point and absolutely not randomly move her things without her permission.

  "Just listen to your grandfather and be careful, yesterday when Peng Jun and your second uncle came, they also brought a 7 or 8-year-old child, seemingly a relative of Qiu Yan's family, no one took care of him so Peng Jun brought him along. The kid didn't understand the situation, taking advantage of the adults talking, he snuck into your room, saw the jade sheep in your drawer and thought to take it for himself, if not for your grandfather's sharp eyes, we wouldn't have even known he took something." Mom walked out of the kitchen with a plate of washed fruit and put it on the coffee table.

  "Is this really happening? Nowadays, 7 or 8-year-old kids are more sensible, how can she still be so careless with other people's things." Gu Mian, who originally didn't have a good impression of Qiu Yan, now had an even worse impression of her and her family.

  Looking at the jade sheep in her hand, Gu Mei couldn't help but secretly congratulate herself. Fortunately, Grandpa's eyes were sharp, and this jade sheep was worth at least tens of millions or even hundreds of thousands. If it had really been stolen, that would have been a huge loss!

  "I saw that child at home was a little tyrant, your grandfather wouldn't let him take away your jade sheep, and he sat on the ground rolling around." Mom Ji Yun said here also furrowed her brow: "Nowadays children are all treasures, but in terms of education, it's necessary to start from an early age. The 7-year-old grandson of Zhang Nainai downstairs is well-behaved, not only polite, but also has a sweet mouth."

  Gu Meng rolled her eyes secretly. If the Qiu family's upbringing was good, they wouldn't have raised someone like Qiu Yan who is narrow-minded and loves to stir up trouble.

  Her second aunt came home several times to make trouble, and Qiu Yan was always by her side, fueling the fire.

  "Anyway, I think it's better if we don't have much to do with them in the future. Peng Jun is not an easy person to deal with, and Qiu Yan is about the same..." Grandfather said to Gu Mian and her mother.

  "I understand." Gu Mian hastily nodded, she didn't want to have anything to do with Er Yi's family even more than her grandfather did.

  "Your mom and I have checked everything in your room, and it seems like nothing is missing. You should go check again yourself. If something is missing, don't worry about the unimportant things, but you must get back the important ones." Grandpa looked at the jade sheep in Gu Mian's hand and reminded him once more.

  Although he didn't understand antiques, he knew that his granddaughter wouldn't carefully put ordinary things in a box and store them in a drawer. So when he saw the child from Qiu Yan's family take Gu Xiang's jade sheep, he immediately stopped him without saying a word, and no matter how much the child rolled around on the ground and threw a tantrum, he refused to let go.

  The jade sheep is something that belongs to his precious granddaughter, how can he just give it away so casually? What's even more infuriating is that Gu Rong, that guy, actually helped the little brat speak up and hinted that as an elder, he should be more generous.

  Pfft, even if I want to be generous, it's only towards Gu Nan that I'm being generous. When is it their turn to be generous to the Qiu family? They're not running a bank!

  Upon hearing her grandfather say this, Gu Mei nodded and quickly returned to her own room.

  She didn't care about anything else, and directly went to her own bed. Her golden silk pouch was placed beside the pillow, and she even used a pillow to cover it when she left. If someone took the pouch away, she would be so sad that she wouldn't even be able to cry.

  The jade sheep is small and lovely, anyone who sees it will like it, no wonder the children will secretly pick it up. However, the golden silk nanmu wood is different, its dark color has little attraction to children, so it should be relatively safer.
