When the topic of antiques came up, Chu Xiao hurriedly urged the driver to stop the car and pulled Chen Jiu'er to his side.

Chen Jiu'er was somewhat puzzled.

"Chu Xiao, you're already injured. Can't we wait until you've received treatment at the hospital before we deal with this?"

Chu Xiao shook his head.

"No, no, I've been having such bad luck lately. It's inconvenient to keep so many antiques around. You can take them to Grandpa Chen for me. There are a lot of people waiting to bid for them, and I urgently need the money."

Hearing this, Chen Jiu'er smiled.

"Grandpa is the president of the Da Gan Cultural Association. How many antiques do you have that can satisfy those..."

The next second, Chu Xiao opened the trunk. Her words caught in her throat as she looked at the trunk full of antiques. Her voice suddenly changed: "You, how do you have so many antiques?"

From the first time she met Chu Xiao, she felt that the man in front of her was extraordinary.

Having had so many encounters with him, she felt that Chu Xiao was even more unfathomable.

Chu Xiao noticed her suspicion and quickly lied, "They were all left by my dad and grandpa. To prevent Chu Zhenhe from taking them, they were buried on my grandpa's farm. I only found out about it recently."

Although it was a lie, it clearly dispelled Chen Jiu'er's concerns.

She picked up a brocade box and carefully stroked it, as if trying to feel the ancient and mysterious aura emanating from it.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao decisively opened the jewelry box, took out a fine mutton fat jade hairpin, and casually inserted it into her ponytail.

"The ancients were right after all. A beautiful jade is a perfect match for a beautiful woman. Jiu'er, you are so beautiful."

A beautiful jade paired with a beautiful woman?

Chen Jiu'er blushed, looked at her reflection in the rearview mirror, and proudly took off her hairpin, scolding, "Don't try that on me!"

"To save you, I've mobilized the Chen family's Flying Tigers, plus all sorts of other expenses, totaling fifty million, which will be deducted from your auction fee this time."

Chu Xiao smiled.

"No problem, deduct as much as you want, it's none of your business..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhicheng's sarcastic voice came from the phone: "Hey Chu Xiao, can you mute yourself when you're flirting with a pretty girl?"

Chu Xiao then remembered that he hadn't hung up the phone yet, so he quickly said to Mu Zhicheng:

"Stop talking nonsense. If you weren't so unreliable, would I have gotten hurt? Hurry up and buy me breakfast to apologize. I'll send you my location."

After saying this, he decisively hung up the phone and looked at Chen Jiu'er.

"Let's go, I feel the anesthesia wearing off, it hurts so much..."

Chen Jiu'er turned around arrogantly.

"You only learn from pain, see if you dare to be so impulsive next time!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if I really die, you'll be a widow before marriage."

"Who becomes a widow before marriage? You haven't even agreed to be my boyfriend yet! Besides, from now on, I need to seriously consider our relationship."

"Why did you fall for someone else so quickly? That shouldn't be the case."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"..."

The two arrived at the Chen family's medical room amidst their bickering.

While administering anesthesia to Chu Xiao, Zhao Anna urged him to relax.

Because the silenced bullet was lodged in his leg bone, even though he had been given anesthesia, he needed to remain conscious to remove the bullet without damaging his nerves.

Seeing Zhao Anna fiddling with the wound using pliers, Chu Xiao almost lost his temper.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Dr. Zhao, are you sure you're not taking revenge for someone else?"

Zhao Anna remained silent, her face cold.

I never expected that Chu Xiao would cause such a big mess just a few hours after we parted ways.

Seeing this, Chen Jiu'er sneered, "Heh, you didn't complain of pain the whole way, but now you can't take it anymore? Or are you pretending to be weak because you saw the beautiful Anna?"

Because she was holding her chest proudly, she looked especially cute when she said that.

Chu Xiao looked at her pitifully.

"Nonsense, do you think I'm that kind of person? It really hurts!"
