Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Golden Phoenix Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Golden Phoenix Elder Shen spoke with a smile, “I didn’t expect that you are actually the great-granddaughter of the Old Patriarch. No wonder your carving skills are so high. It’s not just talent; it’s also because you are a member of the Gu Family…”
“Thank you for the compliment, Elder Shen.”
The Old Patriarch laughed proudly, “Of course, didn’t you see whose great-granddaughter she is?”
Elder Shen, amused, shook his head, “Look at how pleased you are.”
The Old Patriarch just laughed heartily.
Elder Shen looked up at Loo Zhigang standing beside him.
Having received a signal from Elder Shen, Loo Zhigang quickly placed a box on the coffee table in front of Gu Qiaoqiao and then opened the box.
Elder Shen began, “Qiaoqiao, the last Eighteen Arhats I bought from you has broken, and I want to buy another one from you this time…”
The Eighteen Arhats had broken?
Shock showed in the depths of Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Is it badly damaged?”
Elder Shen nodded, “Yes, very badly, it’s almost turned to dust, and there’s absolutely no possibility of repairing it.”
Gu Qiaoqiao froze for a moment.
Suddenly, she understood why Elder Shen was sitting here today beaming.
It turned out that the Eighteen Arhats had taken a disaster in his stead.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao still felt a sense of accomplishment.
However, she did not show it.
She looked down at the box on the coffee table.
But she discovered that inside was a golden phoenix.
It looked just like the golden headdress worn by empresses on TV.
In the sunlight, it was gleaming golden.
“Qiaoqiao, although Grandpa Shen is the head of the Shen Family, he really doesn’t have much savings. This Golden Phoenix might look a bit old, but it is made with the lost art of Gold Filigree Technique, and the Golden Phoenix is also an ancestral heirloom of the Shen Family with a clear provenance…” Elder Shen explained leisurely.
By then, Gu Qiaoqiao had understood Elder Shen’s intention.
She glanced at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng nodded at her, signaling that bartering was acceptable.
After all, everyone knew that Elder Shen was a man of integrity.
He even Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
Such a man, like Grandpa Luo, was venerable and respected!
Although Gu Qiaoqiao had already agreed internally, since Great Grandfather was also here, she still needed to obtain his approval.
This wasn’t about obedience or filial piety; it was a matter of respect.
Gu Qiaoqiao took the Golden Phoenix out of the box.
Curiously, she examined it.
Could it really be the long-lost Gold Filigree Technique?
Only upon closer inspection did she realize that the Golden Phoenix was made of extremely fine gold wires.
My goodness, what skill that must have taken.
And it looked very old as well.
One could only admire the exquisite craftsmanship of our ancestors.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao knew that compared to our ancestors’ skills, she still had a long way to go.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes shimmered with mirth, “I really Golden Phoenix.”
Elder Shen seemed relieved.
Gu Qiaoqiao continued, “Three days later, let this assistant of yours come here to pick it up.”
Loo Zhigang quickly nodded, happily and readily agreeing, “Alright, alright, I’ll be here on time in three days.”
Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow, “Last time you even called me a profiteer, why not this time?”
Loo Zhigang laughed sheepishly, yet still asserted confidently, “That’s because you took my bank book last time, but this time you didn’t ask for the bank book…”
Gu Qiaoqiao found it both amusing and ridiculous, pointing at the Golden Phoenix, “Then you do realize that this phoenix is worth far more than your bank book, right?”
