Ji Cong'an exclaimed in amazement, "How did Qianmo get her hands on Ye Bai's painting? And how did she manage to give such a valuable masterpiece to the Duke?"
The man, who had been lost in thought, blinked and said calmly, "The little girl said she got it from Old Master Bai's study and didn't know how valuable this painting was. I've already had it framed and plan to deliver it to the Bai family myself tomorrow."
“My lord, I’ve always been very curious about what Miss Bai and you went through abroad. Judging from her current attitude towards you, she doesn’t seem to know you at all,” Jiang Nanyan asked.
Gu Jueye picked up the wine glass in front of him and fell into a daze.
"She has amnesia."
The others looked surprised.
Ji Cong'an thought for a while and exclaimed, "No wonder! If Qianmo still remembers your past, she won't seem so natural when she sees you again."
I still remember Bai Qianmo's expression when she saw Gu Jueye at Mingyue Tower; she looked completely unfamiliar with him.
The lord is such a good actor; when he sees that a young girl doesn't recognize him, he immediately pretends not to recognize her either.
In short, he doesn't care about saving face as long as he can get close to the girl.
That's why he found their interaction strange at the time.
"Do you know why she lost her memory?" Du Muchen asked curiously.
"The investigation is still ongoing, but many clues seem to have been deliberately erased." Gu Jueye frowned as he thought of this.
After confirming that the little girl had amnesia, he contacted his friends in Country Y to help with the investigation.
According to the information sent back so far, the last time Bai Qianmo was seen on the surveillance footage, she was picked up by a man wearing a black trench coat, a mask, and a black hat.
Then, she vanished as if by magic, and there was no trace of her in the entire country of Y.
Furthermore, there have been no records of any spending on the money in the several bank cards registered in her name over the past year.

Bai Qianmo lay on the bed, scrolling through their chat history for a while, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
That scene in the grove of trees in the park kept replaying in my mind countless times; it was enough to drive anyone crazy.
I simply turned off my phone, threw myself on the bed, covered myself with the blanket, and prepared to sleep.
But I just couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
As it approached four o'clock, Bai Qianmo felt herself finally drifting off to sleep.
She had a dream in which she pinned Gu Jueye against the wall and forcefully kissed him...
The dream completely woke her up, leaving her in a cold sweat.
I glanced at the time; it was almost eight in the morning.
That's when she realized she was still a high school student.
She immediately threw off the covers, got out of bed, ran to the bathroom to wash up, changed into her school uniform, and hurried downstairs.
Aunt Zhang had already prepared breakfast. Bai Qianmo took a steamed bun from the table and asked as she ate it.
"Has the driver arrived?"
"I'm already at the door. It's getting late, and I was just about to go upstairs to call you."
Bai Qianmo was about to leave after eating the steamed buns when Aunt Zhang hurriedly handed her some white porridge.
"No rush, the porridge is warm, have a few sips before you go."
The thought that no one cared about Bai Qianmo in the Bai family made Aunt Zhang want to take better care of her.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Aunt Zhang, picked up the bowl of white porridge and drank it all in one gulp before waving goodbye to Aunt Zhang.
Watching Bai Qianmo run towards the door, Zhang Ma sighed.
These past few days, the husband and wife haven't been home. Only the husband calls every day to inquire about Miss Qianmo's whereabouts. The wife doesn't even ask. Every time she calls back, she just tells her what Miss Xiruo wants to eat and asks her to make it.
"What kind of mother is this? She's so heartless!"
"Aunt Zhang, what are you muttering about?"
Suddenly hearing Han Songyan's voice coming from the living room, Aunt Zhang was startled.
Suppressing my panic, I hurriedly left the restaurant.
"Madam, Miss Xiruo, you're back."
Han Songyan glanced coldly at Aunt Zhang, then looked at the dining table: "Where is Bai Qianmo?"
"Miss Qianmo has already gone to school."
Han Songyan remained silent with a sullen face.
Bai Xiruo, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "It seems that Aunt really cares about Qianmo. She actually sent her to No. 1 Middle School. I heard that she was admitted as an auditor. It is said that she has to go through a three-month testing period. I wonder if Qianmo can pass the test of No. 1 Middle School after three months."
"From now on, don't worry about her anymore. Haven't you learned your lesson this time? She doesn't care about us at all. Come on, let me take you back to your room to rest."
When Han Songyan mentioned Bai Qianmo, her face was full of disappointment and indifference, while a hint of smugness flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes.
As long as Han Songyan hates Bai Qianmo, she will have plenty of ways to drive Bai Qianmo out of this house in the future.
Watching Han Songyan and Bai Xiruo leave, Aunt Zhang frowned.
This Bai Xiruo is occupying the position of Miss Qianmo and deliberately stirring up trouble in front of Han Songyan. What's even more infuriating is that Han Songyan doesn't even notice.
It is said that bystanders see things more clearly. Even a peasant woman with little education could see Bai Xiruo's intentions. Yet, Han Songyan, a great artist, was completely unprepared for Bai Xiruo.
She's likely to have a tough time from now on.

morning
Gu Jueye and several experts and professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences had some academic discussions, and the meeting lasted until noon.
Back at the research institute, Yuanyou and Chuyi brought the experimental reports they had compiled over the past few days to the office. Gu Jueye ate some takeout and then focused intently on his work.
Until 3 p.m.
When the Gu family delivered a brocade box, Gu Jueye realized that he had an important matter to attend to today.
