Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Did You Empty Out the Family Holdings? (Monthly Ticket Requested)
Gu Jin didn’t say anything and waved at the two Mu family members.
She sat on the sofa, eyes closed, a hint of fatigue on her face.
After a long morning, she was a bit tired.
For some reason, her longing for An Mingji grew stronger.
...
After the Mu family father and son left, besides Linda, Kasi, and the superpower users secretly guarding the courtyard,
the only one left in this cold and desolate home was Gu Jin.
She never noticed before, but now the house felt so lonely.
"Ow...ow..."
Perhaps noticing Gu Jin’s low spirits, Duoduo leisurely walked over from the corner and nudged her leg with its head.
Gu Jin looked down, reached out, and stroked Duoduo, who was squatting beside her, and sighed, "It’s good to have you here."
"Ow..."
Duoduo acted spoiled with her.
This big creature was not as adorable as when it was younger, trying to act cute.
But Gu Jin still thought Duoduo’s silly appearance was amusing and was amused for a moment.
On the side, Kasi and Linda saw her finally smile, exchanged a glance, and felt relieved.
The next day.
The head of the Mu family, Mu Zifan, and the father and son Mu Ziyu visited.
This time, they didn’t have the nervousness from yesterday. They looked full of energy and radiant.
It was evident that the elixir taken by Mu Zifeng worked quite well.
The Mu family didn’t come empty-handed; they brought gift boxes of various sizes, and their guards repeatedly carried things inside the house.
Soon, the gifts from the Mu family filled the table in the living room.
Gu Jin couldn’t help but laugh, "Is the head of the Mu family planning to move the family fortune here?"
"No way!" The head of the Mu family laughed heartily.
He knew Gu Jin was joking.
As one of Beijing’s four great families, how could the Mu family have such a limited fortune?
Gu Jin had Kasi brew tea for the guests, and she sat in the hall with the three Mu family members.
The head of the Mu family opened the nearest gift box, revealing the exquisite porcelain inside.
The blue and white porcelain, with its color on the vase and the intricately depicted patterns, was evidently a well-preserved premium piece.
Whether now or in a decade or two, this would be extremely valuable.
"Young Lord, yesterday Zifan broke a room full of your items during his breakthrough. See if you like these, this kid picked them out carefully, see if they please you."
Next, the head of the Mu family opened several more gift boxes, filled with rare porcelain or precious paintings.
"These things are too valuable."
Gu Jin genuinely felt that these priceless items were far superior to what was damaged in her living room yesterday.
In another decade or two, these could be worth several commercial buildings.
The head of the Mu family sensed Gu Jin’s refusal, kept his face indifferent, and gently said, "These are just a little token of our respect, Young Lord, please don’t refuse. We also have something to ask of you today."
Is there a request?
Gu Jin smiled knowingly, "Let’s hear it."
The head of the Mu family turned to his second son Mu Ziyu, "Ziyu, bring it out."
"Yes, father."
Mu Ziyu responded, immediately lifting a cardboard box from the ground.
He carried the cardboard box to the table in front of everyone, and as he got closer, Gu Jin detected a faint scent in the air.
It was like the smell of spoiled cheese mixed with onions, yet also similar to the aroma of turpentine, a blend of both stench and fragrance.
As soon as the cardboard box was placed on the table, Gu Jin knew what was inside.
The durian scent was so strong that if she couldn’t identify it, there would be something wrong with her nose.
