Du Ruo felt a little guilty. She was the first one to find the God of Thunder in this life, and there was no conflict between the two parties regarding the bidding, but she did have bad intentions.
However, Du Ruo immediately calmed down. This old man had caused her so much trouble in her previous life, so just consider it as an apology to herself, eh? It made sense the moment she thought about it.
Sato, of course, didn't agree with her thoughts. After a solemn bow, he sat down and said seriously, "Excuse me, Ms. Du, do you have any other requests?"
Du Ruo became excited when this was mentioned. She had already made up her mind that if she asked for too much, others would definitely not agree.
Don’t look at how excited old Sato was just now. If she made excessive demands, he would definitely stand up and leave.
"I want that fake Qianlong famille rose revolving vase you bought last time on Antique Street."
When these words came out, not only was Sato stunned for a moment, but even Yuan Tingchuan looked at her in surprise.
The Qianlong famille rose revolving vase is indeed very exquisitely crafted, to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. If Du Ruo didn't know it was a fake, it would be understandable that he wanted it. But everyone knows that it is a fake, in other words, a modern handicraft. What's the point of having it?
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Don't worry about what I do with it, just tell me whether you want to change it or not."
Sato nodded decisively. It was just a modern handicraft. No matter how exquisitely it was made, it couldn't hide its essence. There was nothing special about it.
The transaction went smoothly and both parties were happy. Sato said that he would send the Heart-Transforming Bottle to Du Ruo in the afternoon.
Because there were no deep conflicts like in the previous life, Sato even said when he left that they could work together if there was a chance.
Du Ruo smiled and nodded in agreement. Yuan Tingchuan was right. There were no eternal enemies. As long as the benefits were sufficient, it would not be a bad idea to cooperate once.
Sato kept his word. Not long after he returned, he gave the Qianlong famille rose revolving vase to Du Ruo and sent it to Yiyuan.
Du Ruo looked at the rotating bottle with his eyes slightly narrowed, wondering what he was thinking about.
Yuan Tingchuan grabbed her slender waist from behind, half-holding her in his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder, and kissed her earlobe with his warm lips, nibbling it gently. He asked vaguely, "What are you doing with this thing? It's just garbage. You like the Heart-turning Bottle? Tomorrow, I'll give you a real one so you can play with it."
Du Ruo struggled a little, then grabbed his handsome face with her hands, kissed him, and said with a smile, "Don't be so clingy. The two kids will come over after class soon. What will happen if they see us?"
"It's okay. They went to play basketball with Yuan Wu and won't be back for a while. Don't look at this rubbish anymore. You might as well look at me more."
He whispered softly in Du Ruo's ear: "Look at me more, what do you want?"
Du Ruo was amused by him and reached out to grab his ear: "Mr. Yuan, you are so arrogant. You have everything I want? That's not possible, right?"
Yuan Tingchuan rolled over and pressed her down. "I have something unique in this world that will make you happy. Can you guess what it is?"
Du Ruo's cheeks were burning hot, and as soon as he said "Pooh", he was drowned in the aroma of tobacco.
Perhaps men are very childish in front of their beloved women. Yuan Tingchuan was hugging Du Ruo's waist and "acting coquettishly" when the sound of two children running and making noises came from outside the door.
"Xiaozhe, next time you run to the left, don't rush back, okay?"
"You're too slow to answer. If I don't run over, you won't be able to answer it, right?"
"I didn't receive the call because I wanted you to go back. If you don't come here next time, you will receive the call, right?"
"Then you can't answer it either."
The two children ran into the living room and saw their parents looking at a porcelain vase.
"Wow, it's beautiful! Mom, this bottle is so pretty."
"It's quite beautiful, similar to the ones I have at home. I have several bottles like this at home. I'll take you to see them next time."
"If Mom goes, I will go. If Mom doesn't go, I won't go either."
Yuan Tingchuan coughed lightly, reached out to adjust his sleeves, and ignored the two children. He turned to Du Ruo and said, "Can you tell me now? What do you want this for?"
Du Ruo leaned closer to him and whispered, "What do you think the chances of me successfully switching the dragon for the phoenix are?"
"Switching a dragon for a phoenix? Where is the dragon?"
"They have to have it. They don't have the original, so how can they make a replica? It's so lifelike, they have to have the original."
"That reminds me. They definitely have more than just this one thing. Mr. Zheng said this group has been doing this for seven or eight years. Even if they want to make imitations, it seems they've also collected a lot of genuine products."
"That's exactly the point. Didn't that Zheng guy say his two senior brothers were helping out? They're both masters, and seeing the Chen family's situation is shaky, who wouldn't have some ulterior motives? If he had some other ideas, wouldn't we just hit it off?"
Yuan Tingchuan looked at Du Ruo with a smile in his eyes. Ruo's greatest characteristic was that she dared to think and act, and she would do it without hesitation, showing a spirit of adventurer.
Yuan Tingchuan pondered, it’s not that this thing cannot be done, but if you want to do it, you can’t just do one thing, that would be too boring. If you want to cover the bottom, you have to package it all up, then it’s worth doing it.
"If we have to change, we can't change this one. Wait for me to think about it. I'll let Yuan Wu test the two brothers surnamed Zheng first. The Chen family is going to sink anyway, and there's an 80% chance that they can lure one of the Qu family into it. It wouldn't be bad if we both took away the firewood from the bottom and packed up the things."
"What do you mean someone from the Qu family went in?"
"It's impossible to wipe out the Qu family just for this little thing. Why do you think Qu's father brought Qu Xin here?"
Du Ruo almost jumped in shock. What did Yuan Tingchuan mean? Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. His meaning was clear: Qu's father wanted to use Qu Xin as a scapegoat. This couldn't be right, could it?
Yuan Tingchuan made a gesture, telling her to wait and see.
"What about Han Ming?" It would be great if we could trick that bastard into doing this.
"That kid is quite clever. Judging from the current situation, he can get away."
"Will Qu's father let his daughter take the blame? And let Han Ming go?"
"Don't you think he doesn't want to? That kid is too smart, not as dumb as Qu Xin. If we send him in, he might stir up some trouble, which will be even harder to deal with. Can't you see that Qu's father has no patience left for this daughter? She's a discarded pawn, and he's wanted to throw her away for a long time."
Du Ruo secretly felt regretful. Since Yuan Tingchuan had said it, it was almost certain that this was the case. It was such a pity that Han Ming could not be killed.
