Chapter 1009 The Batch of Ancient Objects

I found them by accident,
Gu Ning said.
Come on, let’s go to Xiangyun Antique-store now.

She couldn’t tell Cao Wenxin that she had dug ancient graves or stolen sunken treasure. Even though she knew that Cao Wenxin would keep it secret, it was better if fewer people were aware of it.
Grave-digging was illegal after all.
The government might arrest those who stole valuable ancient objects from graves.
Gu Ning wasn’t worried that the government would take her real antiques away because she had the support of the Leng family and the Tang family now.
Nobody was willing to act against her.

Really? You’re so lucky!
Cao Wenxin was surprised.
Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing.
…
After the opening ceremony of Xiangyun Antique-store, most of the owners of the antique stores on this street got to know Gu Ning, so they all greeted her kindly when she appeared.

Nice to see you, Miss Gu!


Nice to meet you too,
Gu Ning greeted them politely as well.
News of the wedding held by the Tang family hadn’t gone abroad yet, so not many people were aware that she was Tang Haifeng’s biological granddaughter.
If they had known Gu Ning’s family background, they would have been shocked.
…
Duji Antiques could barely stay afloat now, and Du Laifeng’s step-mother, Li Fengxia, couldn’t be more jealous of Xiangyun Antique-store. However, she didn’t dare to do anything about it since Gu Ning was the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store.

How could Du Laifeng be so lucky?
Li Fengxia muttered to herself.
If the girl had bought my store, I could have made a lot of money!

Li Fengxia only cared about money.
At this moment, she suddenly saw Gu Ning walking by, which scared her. She thought that Gu Ning had heard what she just said, and panicked because of her guilty conscience.
Gu Ning had indeed heard what she just said, but didn’t bother to pay attention to her at all.
Li Fengxia released a long breath when Gu Ning ignored her and walked away.
Xiangyun Antique-store was only 10 meters away from Duji Antiques, so Gu Ning soon arrived at her destination. There were a few customers in Xiangyun Antique-store when she walked inside.

Hi, boss!
Du Laifeng welcomed Gu Ning at once.
Those customers all looked over when they heard Du Laifeng greeting Gu Ning.

Hi, Miss Gu!
they said to Gu Ning.

Hi, please enjoy yourselves,
Gu Ning said with a smile.

Sure,
they said.
At the beginning, they just came here to look around, but now felt like buying something after meeting Gu Ning.

I came here with something,
Gu Ning said.
She made a hand gesture and told Du Laifeng to follow her up to the office. Du Laifeng was a little confused, but followed Gu Ning without delay.
He understood that Gu Ning might have brought some real antiques, but he was still shocked when he saw them with his own eyes.
Du Laifeng was suspicious of the sources of these ancient objects, but didn’t ask further about it.
Du Laifeng had attended the wedding held by the Tang family yesterday, so he knew that Gu Ning was a member of the Tang family.
He believed that she was able to handle it well even if she got those antiques illegally.

Oh, I heard something terrible just happened to Xianghe Antique. Do you know the details?
Gu Ning asked all of a sudden.

I went to see it this morning, and I know that the batch of ancient objects is real after the expert’s appraisal. It’s said that they’re covered in Yin, which caused the collapse, but more people believe that the building was just too old,
Du Laifeng said.
It was hard for ordinary people to believe in Yin. Even Du Laifeng held doubts.
Hearing that, Gu Ning was more sure that the collapse of Xianghe Antique had something to do with that batch of ancient objects, but she still needed to find out more about it. Therefore, she left the wooden box to Du Laifeng, then walked out with Cao Wenxin.
Xianghe Antique was located farther along the antique street, so they needed to walk for a while.
On the way, many people who recognized Gu Ning greeted her politely and Gu Ning also smiled at them.
In fact, some of them were quite jealous of Xiangyun Antique-store, but none of them dared to annoy Gu Ning.
Since they couldn’t mess with her, they decided that they should maintain a good relationship with her.
