My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 151 He really did want this jade.

Gu Xingzhao tried to distance himself from Xu Ci'an, who resembled Lu Xingyao, but Xu Ci'an brought up the topic several times.

Perhaps because Xu Shisan had lied, this younger uncle of the Xu family first asked about her job, then about the university she graduated from, her major, and even her age.

After taking a sip of his tea, Gu Xingzhao finally couldn't help but interrupt, "Do you usually ask so many questions about the friends Xu Shisan brings back?"

Based on her observations along the way after arriving at the old house, and even hearing people talking about it, it's clear that Xu Shisan often brings friends back. Although not every one of them is a girlfriend, would Xu Ci'an ask so many questions about every single one of them?
If she had to ask every single person who came, she felt that Xu Ci'an's workload was far too heavy.

"I'm sorry." Sensing the other person's unease, Xu Ci'an didn't ask any further questions.

Gu Xingzhao breathed a sigh of relief. If he had asked any more questions, he would have simply given him the household registration book.

After a moment, Xu Ci'an's voice rang out again, "I won't ask about every single one."

Gu Xingzhao: "?"

She quickly realized that the other person was explaining the question she had just asked, which indirectly confirmed that Xu Shisan really did often bring "friends" home.

Just then, Xu Shisan returned and overheard Xu Ci'an's words. He plopped down between the two of them and asked, "What? You ask about every single one?"

The two exchanged a glance, neither speaking. Clearly, Xu Ci'an had realized that his words had somewhat damaged his nephew's reputation.

Seeing that they were all silent, Xu Shisan became even more curious and looked at Gu Xingzhao, "Ah Zhao, what were you talking about just now?"

Gu Xingzhao glanced at Xu Ci'an with a smile on his face, "I asked Mr. Xu if he asks about the household registration of every girlfriend you bring home, but he just said he doesn't ask about each one."

Xu Ci'an paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup: "."

Xu Shisan was stunned and looked abruptly at his uncle. "Uncle, those friends I brought back before were just ordinary friends. We just ate together and played games together. You can't talk nonsense in front of A-Zhao!"

He never expected that before he could even win over his own people, he would suffer a major setback at his uncle's hands!
Gu Xingzhao will definitely misunderstand that he is the kind of person who is casual.

Xu Ci'an glanced at Gu Xingzhao and saw that the other party was smiling, looking quite interested, as if he were watching a show.

Then look at Xu Shisan, he's as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He suddenly wanted to take back what he said earlier. Treating someone unfairly meant that the other party had something to ask for, but Gu Xingzhao clearly had no feelings for Xu Shisan, nor did he have any other demands such as money.

As for whether the nephew will be mistreated, boys should suffer more losses, as it is a blessing.

Xu Ci'an took a sip of tea. "I never said it was my girlfriend."

Xu Shisan was stunned: "?"

What do you mean?
However, before he could figure it out, the dishes were already on the table, and the two of them had started eating.

Xu Shisan belatedly realized that he had been tricked by the two of them. He subconsciously looked at Gu Xingzhao, only to see Gu Xingzhao smiling, completely unconcerned about whether he was the kind of person who did things casually.

"There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart."

After lunch, Xu Ci'an left.

Gu Xingzhao strolled around the Xu family's old house for a while before leaving. When he drove her away, Xu Shisan couldn't help but ask in the car, "Actually, I'm rich, I'm not bad looking, and I have a decent figure. What is it about me that you don't like?" In his memory, all the girls around him who were interested in him never rejected him. But with Gu Xingzhao, he had been repeatedly rejected, and his self-confidence had been eroded.

Gu Xingzhao: "?"

Xu Shisan replied sincerely, "If you don't like anything about me, I can change it."

Gu Xingzhao suppressed a laugh and replied sincerely, "What do you like about me? I can change it."

Xu Shisan: "."

The atmosphere solidified.

In less than five minutes, the car returned to the antique street. Gu Xingzhao glanced at his phone and saw that three million had been deposited into his bank account.

Seeing Xu Shisan's frustrated expression, she found it somewhat amusing. "Actually, we've been friends who've collaborated many times. I'm really curious what you're after from me, and why you're being so attentive to me?"

Xu Shisan rested his hands on the steering wheel, recalling the jade pendant he had once coveted from Gu Xingzhao. His gaze fell on her neck, still on that rope, and he immediately pouted, "Let me tell you, do you think you can satisfy me?"

Gu Xingzhao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tell me about it, maybe?"

Xu Shisan said tactfully, "When you first came to my shop, didn't I ask you about the jade pendant around your neck? You said you weren't selling it, but I really liked it."

Gu Xingzhao subconsciously touched the jade pendant hanging around her neck, given to her by Xu, the second daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She took the jade pendant out of her collar and asked, "Is this the one?"

Upon seeing the jade pendant again, Xu Shisan's eyes lit up, feeling that the pendant looked even more beautiful now.

Judging from his reaction, Gu Xingzhao knew that he really did want this jade!

For a jade pendant, she used both her good looks and various monetary temptations, trying to offer herself up several times. The thought process of this rich person is truly incomprehensible.

Xu Shisan was already regretting it. He shouldn't have said that. Letting Gu Xingzhao know that he had been eyeing her things would probably make him avoid him from now on. Not to mention the jade pendant, he might not even be able to see her again.

Gu Xingzhao stroked the jade pendant repeatedly with his fingertips, then took it off his neck and threw it into Xu Shisan's arms. "Here, consider it a return gift for your previous meeting."

As she spoke, she pushed open the car door, got out, and then got into her own car.

"???" Xu Shisan was dumbfounded, holding the jade pendant blankly. He raised his hand and slapped himself. Ouch—it wasn't a dream, she really gave him the jade pendant!

No, didn't she refuse to sell before? Why is she giving it away for free now?

He hurriedly got out of the car with the jade pendant and caught up with Gu Xingzhao. He pressed his large face against her car window, still somewhat incredulous. "This is a top-quality piece of jade. Are you really going to give it to me directly?"

Gu Xingzhao was actually a little reluctant, but after seeing Xu Ci'an and the Lu family's treasure pavilion today, she was completely certain that Xu Shisan was a descendant of the Lu and Xu families.

I quite like this jade pendant, but I only like its value. Rather than keeping it in the hands of a common person like myself, I'd rather give it to Xu Shisan, who truly appreciates it, so that it can be considered a return to its rightful owner.

Gu Xingzhao looked at him amusedly, "If you don't want it, give it back to me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shisan immediately hung the jade pendant around his neck, not intending to give Gu Xingzhao any chance to back out. However, he really didn't expect Gu Xingzhao to be so generous, since when they first met, she would haggle over even ten or twenty thousand yuan.
Thinking of this, he leaned forward, his face close to the half-open car window, "Tell me the truth, have you fallen in love with me, that's why you gave me such an expensive gift?"

Gu Xingzhao chuckled, met Xu Shisan's gaze, and beckoned him with his finger, signaling him to come closer.
