Rich and powerful scheming: Please sign the old love husband

The audience burst into warm applause, and even the organizers did not expect that the price would be as high as 80 million.

Pei Jinnian took the jade set from the host and when he glanced at the audience, Bo Ran had already pulled Gu Huaian and left the stage in a hurry.

She made him spend an extra 50 million on something that could have been pocketed for only 30 million.

After getting in the car, Bo Ran blurted out: "It's the first time I've spent money so happily. Seeing Pei Jinnian's face, I really want to celebrate."

Gu Huaian suggested casually: "Why don't we go have a drink together?"

Bo Ran thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but the place is up to me."

Gu Huaian didn't expect Bo Ran to take her to the open-air food stall.

But he was just startled for a moment and sat down without asking a word.

Bo Ran thought that Young Master Gu could be too dissatisfied with things. It seemed that he was well-educated.

Gu Huaian was watching her ordering food next to her. After a while, she turned back and asked him: "Is it okay to drink draft beer? Do you have any dietary restrictions? Do you eat spicy food?"

He didn't have any objections and was as quiet as the two other people.

After finishing the order, Bo Ran remembered: "I didn't help you complete the task. Will your dad scold you when you get home?"

"It's okay. If the old man wants this, he's probably giving it to Pei Jinnian to please him."

Bo Ran was shocked. It was rumored that Gu Boyao came to power with the support of Pei Jinnian. It turned out to be true.

"But why is Pei Jinnian so obsessed with this set of jade? He would rather pay a sky-high price to buy it." He asked again.

Bo Ran laughed: "Because...it was originally his family's thing."

The breeze from the river blew, causing the hem of her thin skirt to rise slightly. She seemed to have remembered something, and her eyes slightly looked away, as soft as water.

Gu Huaian suddenly interrupted her: "Wait a moment."

Then he took off his coat and put it on her knees: "Okay."

Bo Ran glanced at him and continued: "I don't know if you have heard of it. There used to be a strange stone museum in Jiangcheng City, which collected many strange stones, famous flowers, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The museum is located in the square in the city center now.

That piece of land, plus the treasures in the museum, had a market value of 1.9 billion at the time. It is probably even more inestimable now. The eight jade pieces being auctioned today are one of the collections in the museum."

When Gu Huaian heard her talking about it, he remembered an old news story from more than 20 years ago, in which the director of a private museum sued the government and real estate developers for illegal demolition. Because it was the first case in which a citizen sued an official, it caused a sensation in Jiangcheng City.

It was very big, but then nothing happened.

Bo Ran said: "That piece of land was signed by my father to approve the development of commercial real estate. After the museum was demolished, many collections disappeared. The seven jades auctioned today are among the properties confiscated by the government after my father's downfall.

.”

Gu Huaian heard her mention her late father and knew how sad she was, so he patted her hand on the table in a comforting manner.

He looked at the jade bracelet on her hand and asked: "Then why was this jade bracelet not confiscated together, but said to be lost?"

Bo Ran was silent for a moment, drank the beer in the plastic cup in one gulp, and then slowly said: "Because this jade bracelet does not belong to my father."

It was an engagement gift given to her by Pei Jinnian.

When the developer gave this set of jade articles to Mayor Bo as a thank you, he said that one piece was missing. Later, when Pei Jinnian gave the jade bracelet to her, her father said that he had just enough to give her as a dowry.

At that time, she and her father believed in him so much that they had no suspicion at all.
