Chapter 76 You're in the way
She had asked Mr. Lu again and again how her grandparents died. Mr. Lu only vaguely said that the two elders were old and could not withstand the blow, so they fell ill and both passed away.
But she couldn't find out more details. Now that she had listened to Zhang Maocai's words, she seemed to see hope again.
Perhaps she could understand the specific situation at that time through Zhang Maocai's description.
Zhang Maocai recalled, his face heavy, and said slowly: "The antique circle was very chaotic before, not as formal as it is now. Later, in order to unify management and prevent cultural relics from being sold abroad by criminals, the authorities began to review them. Every item must have formal procedures, especially those engaged in the antique industry are the focus of review."
"The antique circle at that time was like an earthquake. Apart from the unknown ones, the Lu family went through a process. Your Xu family was the focus of the investigation, so your grandparents were taken away. But everyone knew that the Xu family's things were taken away by the Lu family. However, the people above did not investigate. After a few years, they just said it was a wrongful case, which restored your grandparents' innocence, and the matter was left unresolved."
"The Lu family is not involved. Is it because they have someone above them?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"That's the rumor, but it's just a rumor after all. No one can confirm it except the Lu family." Zhang Maocai sighed, "This incident happened too long ago. It may be difficult for you to investigate. I know what you are thinking. You just think that your grandparents were framed, which led to the Xu family's decline. But now the key evidence must have been destroyed by the Lu family. Son, the most urgent thing is to get those relics back, and then slowly make plans."
She was very clear that Zhang Maocai was truly caring about Xu Qingsui.
"Grandpa Zhang, you are right. I must get back my grandparents' belongings, and no matter how difficult it is, I must find out the truth. If my grandparents were really framed by someone else, then I will double back everything that my Xu family has suffered now!"
Xu Qingsui clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that this matter could not be let go!
Zhang Maocai nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of you, you are Xu Songhe's granddaughter. Grandpa Zhang believes that you will succeed. If you need me in the future, just tell me and I will do my best!"
Zhou Jing echoed from the side: "Yes, yes, and I will also help you!"
Xu Qingsui was very moved: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zhou."
"By the way, I will go to the mountain city next week. I received a notice that a large number of precious cultural relics have been unearthed there. If you are interested, you can go with me as my last disciple." Zhang Maocai said to Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui's eyes lit up, she had always been very interested in this aspect, but ever since the incident with the Xu family, she had no chance to get in touch with it.
Now the opportunity has come, but unfortunately she has to go to work, so she is afraid she will miss it.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingsui lowered his head in disappointment. Just as he was about to refuse, Huo Xilin's gentle voice rang in his ears: "If you want to go, then go ahead."
Xu Qingsui suddenly looked up and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, wondering how he could see through her thoughts.
"But my work..." She had just taken the position of special assistant, and the employees in the company were talking about it. She asked for leave before she had proven her ability, which was a waste of Huo Xilin's trust and cultivation of her.
Although she likes to study and restore cultural relics, she cares more about her own character as a human being. This is what her grandparents taught her since she was a child, and she knows very well what is more important.
"Forget it. My current identity is an employee of the Huo Group and your special assistant. I have to complete my own work first!"
Xu Qingsui seemed to have made a great determination. Although it was a pity to miss such a good opportunity, she did not regret it.
"You don't need to ask for leave. I'm going to Shancheng on a business trip next week. If you happen to be free, you can use your free time to go with Grandpa Zhang to broaden your horizons."
Huo Xilin looked at Zhang Maocai and said, "Grandpa Zhang, you don't mind her finishing her work before joining you, right?"
Zhang Maocai was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then he laughed and shook his head repeatedly: "Don't mind, don't mind, Xu girl, you are right to do this, finish your work first, treat antiques as your hobby, study hard when you have time, and it won't be too late to develop your hobbies when you have the opportunity in the future!"
After that, Zhang Maocai leaned close to Xu Qingsui's ear and whispered, "First solve the problem of food and clothing, then you are qualified to talk about ideals!"
Xu Qingsui was almost moved to tears: "Grandpa Zhang, you are so kind to me!"
Although she and Zhang Maocai had not been in contact for a long time, she could truly feel Grandpa Zhang's tolerance and care for her.
She had grown up in the Lu family. It seemed that Grandpa Lu was very good to her, but this kindness seemed calculated. Every action and every word contained a mystery, forcing her to accept it while paying the corresponding price.
So after she went to college, she was able to work part-time to support herself, and she rarely went back to the Lu family and almost never used the Lu family's money anymore.
After parting with the two elders, Xu Qingsui and Huo Xilin prepared to go home.
"Xu Qingsui!" A figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them and blocked Xu Qingsui's way.
Xu Qingsui looked carefully and found that the person was Gu Rong.
But unlike before, Gu Rong looked haggard and a little thinner than before.
She frowned, somewhat disliking this person, and asked coldly: "Miss Gu, are you and I familiar with each other?"
"Xu Qingsui, it's all your fault that I went to jail and my life was almost ruined. Aren't you very proud of yourself?" Gu Rong asked angrily.
Go to jail?
Xu Qingsui suddenly remembered that day in the courtyard, Gu Rong called the police to arrest her and Huo Xilin, and then Huo Xilin sued her.
She had already forgotten about this matter: "From what you said, the matter has been resolved?"
Gu Rong snorted coldly and said unhappily: "This has nothing to do with you."
Although the problem was solved, she also paid a price to let Lu Jingyu help her solve it.
However, because the resolution process was not smooth, the Lu family lost a considerable order, so Lu Jingyu blamed her for this. Now he ignores her and has a new love.
How could Gu Rong be willing to be abandoned? She wanted to marry into the Lu family, otherwise she would not have designed to drive Xu Qingsui away.
"Since it has nothing to do with me, please move aside, Miss Gu. You are blocking the road." Xu Qingsui said.
