The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 3 She is back
The Huo family is a large family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It has gone through several dynasties and naturally has several affiliated families behind it. The Xue family is one of them. The heads of the Xue family in all generations have always been the right-hand men of the head of the Huo family.

They appear to be master and servant, but in reality they are more like close friends.

"What is your relationship with Xue Weian?"

When Huo Yunjing was the head of the family, his assistant was Xue Weian. Gu Qingyin often saw him and they were considered acquaintances.

Xue Ning: "My father."

Gu Qingyin suddenly realized, then lowered her head and began to rummage through her bag. It was the first time she met the junior, so she had to give him a gift.

She took out a yellow talisman folded into the shape of the Eight Diagrams and handed it over. "It's a peace talisman, it's not worth much, just carry it with you to keep you safe."

Xue Ning was flattered and took it respectfully with both hands, "Thank you, Madam."

Gu Qingyin waved her hand, picked up her chopsticks and started eating again.

Xue Ning happily put away the amulet, and turned around to see Huo Xingye staring at him with deep eyes, looking unhappy.

Xue Ning was confused.

Huo Xingye turned his head and said indifferently, "Just leave after the food is delivered. Do you want to stay for dinner?"

"No, I've already eaten." Xue Ning didn't understand, but still smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to the company first."

After Xue Ning left, Huo Xingye felt more and more upset. He held it in until Gu Qingyin finished her meal. Then he casually asked, "What did you give Xue Ning?"

"Amulet, didn't I just mention it?" Gu Qingyin took a sip of tea and said casually, "I drew it a long time ago and kept it in my bag. It finally came in handy today."

Huo Xingye pursed his lips. He really wanted to ask him, "What did you want to ask him?" Even Xue Ning had a gift for meeting him, so why didn't his own son have anything? But he couldn't bring himself to do that, so he held his breath and handed the file bag to Gu Qingyin.

"What you want."

Gu Qingyin took it and took a look. Inside were her ID, bank card and new mobile phone.

After all, twenty years have passed, and everything that should expire has expired.

"Are you full?" Gu Qingyin put the things back into her bag. "I'm going to the antique street. Can you give me a ride?"

Huo Xingye stood up and left, with a look of surprise in his back.

Gu Qingyin curled her lips slightly and followed slowly. Of course she didn't forget the meeting gift, but she had just returned from a mission and had almost used up all the good things on hand, so she had to replenish the stock before she could make anything.

Gu Qingyin got off the car at the street corner and waved to Huo Xingye, "Go and do your work, don't worry about me, I'll take a taxi back later."

Huo Xingye looked at her leaving back, and suddenly felt uneasy. Without thinking, he picked up his phone and called the bodyguard, "Send two people to follow Gu Qingyin and protect her safety."

The bodyguard thought it was unnecessary. With Gu Qingyin's skills, if something really happened, it would be hard to tell who would protect whom. But since the boss had spoken, he had no choice but to listen.

So, just after Gu Qingyin had been walking around for a while, two big men in black suits caught up with her. After learning the purpose of their visit, Gu Qingyin did not object and let them follow her.

Twenty years have passed, but the antique street has not changed much. At first glance, the things are still the same, and nine out of ten are fakes. The only things that have changed are the owners and the store names.

Gu Qingyin quickly lost interest and walked deeper into the antique street without looking around, and entered a shop called Genuine Products.

As soon as he entered the door, a young man in a green gown came out. He looked at Gu Qingyin inconspicuously, with a thoughtful look on his face. When he saw that Gu Qingyin frowned, he smiled and greeted her, "Is this customer not satisfied with the things in our store?"

"The quality of these things is not very good." Gu Qingyin was a little disappointed, "Did the owner of this store change?"

"No." The young man looked calm. "The world is not peaceful, so I dare not put good things out. What do you want? I'll find it for you." "Cinnabar, yellow paper, jade pendant, the best quality."

The young man smiled and quoted: "Cinnabar is 32,000 yuan per ounce, and yellow paper is 1,000 yuan per sheet. As for the jade pendants, a batch just arrived a few days ago. They are all of very good quality. They are 50,000 yuan each. How many do you want?"

The jade pendants in the store are all semi-finished products, with only outlines and no patterns, making it convenient for the Taoist priest to carve runes and formations on them.

Gu Qingyin's brows furrowed immediately. Twenty years have passed and prices have skyrocketed. It's like robbing money!
"can it be cheaper?"

The young man smiled and said, "It's a small business, no bargaining."

Gu Qingyin curled her lips, took out a card from her bag, and asked, "Can I still get a discount for a membership card from 20 years ago?"

The young man's eyes flickered. He took the card and checked it carefully. It was indeed real, but...

"Our membership card can only be used by the person himself and cannot be lent out."

"This is mine!" Gu Qingyin saw that there was a chance and quickly emphasized, "Boss Qin gave it to me personally. If you don't believe me, go ask him. He will definitely remember me."

She was a big customer of the store at that time!
The young man smiled. "Don't bother. I trust you. Wait a moment. I'll go get the goods."

Three jade pendants, a pound of cinnabar, and one hundred sheets of cut yellow paper, after a 20% discount and rounding off, the total amount was four hundred and fifty thousand.

Gu Qingyin quickly paid the bill and left. She looked like she didn't care, but in fact she felt very sad.

Fortunately, she had a secret stash of money, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to afford gifts for the children.

No, the price of her future orders must be doubled!
Gu Qingyin walked away with a bleeding heart, not noticing that the young man was staring at her back. He took out his cell phone and made a call, "Old man, the Heavenly Master who suddenly disappeared 20 years ago is back."

The bodyguard drove Gu Qingyin back to the villa. She carried her things and went into the study. She didn't finish making the three protective jade pendants until it was completely dark.

The emerald green jade pendant is not much bigger than a one-yuan coin, and it looks beautiful when worn as a pendant around your neck.

Gu Qingyin put away her things and went out when she smelled a spicy meaty aroma. She followed the scent downstairs and found that there were several more people in the villa.

The middle-aged woman in a Tang suit brightened her eyes when she saw her coming down, and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Madam, I am the new housekeeper, my name is Hua Xin."

Gu Qingyin habitually glanced at her face, then smiled with curved eyebrows, "I'll trouble Aunt Hua from now on."

This shout made Hua Xin smile even happier, "Madam, the food is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

Gu Qingyin walked to the restaurant familiarly and asked as she sat down, "When will Huo Xingye come back?"

Hua Xin shook her head. "I heard that the head of the family usually lives in a house near the company and probably won't come back." She was previously in charge of matters related to the Huo family manor and was temporarily transferred here today. She didn't know much about the head of the family's affairs.

Gu Qingyin nodded, then clasped her hands together, her eyes shining, "Then let's eat!"

As for the jade pendant, I can only give it to Huo Xingye when he comes next time.

But Gu Qingyin didn't expect that there would be no news from Huo Xingye for three consecutive days.

She was a little unhappy. Mother and son were reunited after 20 years, and then he disappeared after meeting once. What did that mean?
You little brat, you probably need to be punished!
