Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Knock Out Teeth and Swallow Blood Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Knock Out Teeth and Swallow Blood Uncle Gu and Gu Qiaoqiao had finally returned from Diannan.
Yuhong’s heart, which had been hanging in her throat, slowly settled down.
The dinner was extremely lavish.
The Old Patriarch did not let Zhang Yi leave, instead, he had him stay for the meal.
Because of the days in Diannan, there were some matters Gu Qingfeng needed to understand thoroughly.
For instance, that Hua Lian who stirred up trouble.
And the so-called Daxi Clan.
He knew of the Daxi Clan, but they had always kept to themselves.
How had they gotten involved now?
There were also other matters that couldn’t be thoroughly discussed over the phone and needed proper understanding.
However, during their days away, no one had really eaten well.
Now facing these exquisite delicacies, everyone’s appetite surged.
The dinner was lively and bustling.
After eating, the Old Patriarch and Gu Tianfeng went to the study.
Uncle Gu, Zhang Yi, and Gu Qiaoqiao went along as well.
The Old Patriarch asked in detail about the events in Diannan from start to finish.
In the end, he nodded in satisfaction, “Good, you all did very well. However, this time, we were lucky to have Ah Ze’s help. It seems that in the future, we must be fully prepared.”
Uncle Gu nodded, “Yes, sometimes we take things too lightly and think matters are simpler than they are.”
The Old Patriarch nodded, “Next, we have to deal with Tian Sanxian. However, there will be a tough battle ahead.”
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her clear, water-like eyes and asked Gu Qingfeng, “Great Grandfather, does Ning Wanru dare to come to you for a reckoning?”
“She definitely will come,” Gu Qingfeng said with a cold smile. “This time, she invested heavily and ended up celebrating too early, and when she discovers the truth, she will undoubtedly suspect that I had a hand in it.”
Gu Tianfeng adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, “So what? The contract is clear and in black and white, and it’s protected by law.”
Gu Qiaoqiao teasingly pushed her father’s arm, “Dad, you are now able to read contracts?”
“Hmm, I can barely understand them,” Gu Tianfeng said with a smile.
Indeed, this time, they would have to grit their teeth and swallow their blood.
After talking for a few moments, the Old Patriarch then allowed Zhang Yi and Uncle Gu to go and rest.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered the two orchids she had dug up in the deep valley.
She wondered if they were the Ice Orchids that Qin Yize had mentioned.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly opened the plastic-wrapped basket.
Thanks to her touch, the two orchids were still thriving vigorously.
Just like they were in the deep valley.
The leaves were lush and dripping.
The petals were crystal clear, and it seemed as though every part of the orchids had been carefully sculpted by the heavens.
Gu Qingfeng exclaimed in shock, “Top-quality Ice Orchids.”
Then he asked Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, where did you find these?”
Gu Qiaoqiao then recounted in detail to Gu Qingfeng how she had found the two orchid plants.
At that time, Lady Yu and Yuhong also gathered around.
Both were fond of flowers and plants.
Seeing the two orchids, they were utterly captivated.
Great Grandma also discerned almost immediately that these were high-quality Ice Orchids.
Despite it being late at night, they carefully planted the Ice Orchids in the greenhouse.
However, the Gu Family only kept one.
Lady Yu asked Gu Qiaoqiao to bring the other one back to the Qin Family the next morning.
Because Shen Manru of the Qin Family also loved plants.
Although the Qin Family Courtyard did not have a greenhouse, they had a hall near the balcony in their house.
