Du Ruo looked at Mr. Chen's excitement and felt secretly amused. Mr. Chen probably thought that Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua were in charge of the Ji family, and he hoped that Bai Minhua would make him obedient. Unfortunately, Mr. Chen's plan was probably going to fail.
She glanced at her adopted brother next to her. Her brother was not a naive person and would definitely not care about the Chen family.
Chen Guochang said to Du Ruo with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be my niece. This is truly an unbreakable bond, a natural blood relationship. Come in and sit down. Your uncle will give you some red envelopes."
Du Ruo smiled without saying anything.
Ji Bailin and Chen Guochang met for the first time and had a good first impression. However, when he saw Du Ruo's faint smile not reaching his eyes and Yuan Tingchuan and Ling Yun looking like they were enjoying the show, he knew that something must be wrong. The word "uncle" was on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back.
He now realized that his sister was much more reliable than his mother, and it would definitely be right to follow his sister.
Chen Guochang glanced at the brother and sister, his eyes flashed, and he sneered in his heart. They were just two juniors, could their arms twist over their thighs?
He took off his glasses, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sat next to Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua.
The four of them continued their "friendship", while the people next to them watched leisurely with indifferent expressions. Only Ling Yun was very supportive. Not only was he moved to tears, he also led the two children to applaud and cheer non-stop. He was an absolute die-hard fan.
Chen Guochang's eyebrows twitched. He had known Boss Ling, Ling Feng, for many years. He was a man who did not play by the rules. He did not expect that his son was so unreliable. Why did he look so deserving of a beating?
That night, the Chen family asked Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua to stay at their home. They wanted to let Ji Bailin stay too, but he firmly disagreed and insisted on staying at Du Ruo's place.
Du Ruo felt sad when looking at his overcrowded "little house". Is it still too small?
It is said that three women make a drama, and three men also make a "palace fighting drama".
Yuan Tingchuan sat back and watched Ling Yun and Ji Bailin practicing Tai Chi with each other.
Ji Bailin was very curious about the relationship between Ling Yun and his sister. Ling Yun was also curious about Du Ruo, his younger brother who had not appeared in the previous generation. The two of them chatted back and forth and had a lot of fun.
Du Ruo pulled Yuan Tingchuan to sit on the sofa in the study and whispered to him about the Chen family.
"Why did they go to so much trouble to get Bai Minhua here?"
"Why else? It's most likely because of that Chenghua Doucai Fish and Lotus Bowl."
“Isn’t this over yet?”
"The lost item hasn't been found yet? What's the end of it?"
Du Ruo touched her chin and put her other arm on Yuan Tingchuan's shoulder.
"So they're going to look for me? This definitely wasn't me who did it. Why would Chen Guochang bother me?"
"Because they're not fools, they'll definitely guess that I have the thing. Isn't this just a roundabout way to save the country?"
Du Ruo understood. Chen Guochang brought Bai Minhua here because he thought that she was her biological mother and she would give her some face. With this face, he let Du Ruo take the bowl back from Yuan Tingchuan, but what was the use of taking it back?
Seeing that she hadn't figured it out, Yuan Tingchuan stroked her hair and said, "The task force came here to investigate the Chenghua Doucai Fish and Lotus Bowl. They're definitely going to conduct further investigations. But once they authenticated it, it turned out to be an authentic antique. What do you think?"
Then this matter would become a misunderstanding and would definitely not be investigated further.
But, "Aren't there a few things missing too?"
"If a pot is broken, blame the pot; if a bowl is broken, blame the bowl. As long as we can prove that this incident is a misunderstanding and make some adjustments, it will most likely disappear."
"This trick of cutting off the source of the fire is really good at Chen Guochang!"
Seeing that Du Ruo finally understood, Yuan Tingchuan smiled mysteriously.
"Do you really want to give that to them?"
"I will definitely return the things, but not to them. I will donate them directly to the museum." These are things from the National Museum, and I definitely cannot keep them for myself. It will cause trouble sooner or later.
"You want to donate it to a museum? It's someone else's stuff, how could they not recognize it?"
"What do you mean by knowing each other? People even have twin brothers. Isn't it normal for antiques to be similar?" Yuan Tingchuan's expression was very intriguing.
Du Ruo said thoughtfully, "That's right, you found the things and donated them to the museum. Even if they knew what happened, they wouldn't tell them.
If they shout to the world that you found it, wouldn't that indirectly prove that they lost a lot of things? This is different from the investigation team. Who knows what people outside will say.
It would be better to admit that it was you who donated it. After all, the things are back and you can just cover yourself with a big quilt and be done with it."
Yuan Tingchuan said: "We must donate, but we can't do it now. We have to wait for a while."
Du Ruo understood: "Should we wait until the investigation team takes Chen Guochang in before donating?"
Yuan Tingchuan stretched out a finger and shook it: "No, wait for a while, and donate it after Chen Guochang sells the things."
Du Ruo's eyes widened. "If you donate those items, won't they know that the real ones are in your hands?"
"Just let them know, or let the buyer, Mr. Smith, know."
My goodness, Yuan Tingchuan is such a evil person.
Chen Guochang had just sold the items to Smith, and then Yuan Tingchuan donated several of them to the museum. Mr. Smith would definitely be suspicious, right?
If he suspects something, he'll hire someone to investigate. Once they do, they'll find out everything they bought is fake. With so many fakes, won't he be hell-bent on getting back at Chen Kuo-chang?
By then, Chen Guochang would be attacked from both sides, and that would be very dangerous.
Mr. Yuan never got involved with them and even got a good reputation for donations. He donated so many antiques at once, so the government would definitely not treat him unfairly. Maybe all kinds of policies would be tilted in his favor, and he would make a lot of money, right?
The important thing is that Boss Yuan didn’t spend a penny on these things, he just got something for nothing.
Du Ruo looked at Boss Yuan with admiration. She had no choice but to admit defeat. It seemed that she still had a lot to learn.
but……
"Based on my understanding of Han Ming, he must have a backup plan at this critical juncture, especially after we get rid of the person. Maybe Han Ming will take advantage of the situation to make trouble. If he also secretly sells the things, it will be even more fun."
This can be considered as killing rabbits by grabbing grass, and it also tricked Han Ming.
Du Ruo knew Han Ming better. At this moment, Han Ming was reporting to Qu's father the news that Master Zheng and his group had escaped.
"By the time I found out, they had already run away. I went to the warehouse to check and found that one box of antiques was missing, but the others were still there. It was a blessing in disguise."
