C2692 He Didn't Make Any Moves
Huo Niannian naturally knew what Gu Yufei was thinking. The reason why she accepted the chessboard. Just to stay put and get the evidence.
No matter if Gu Yufei had done something to the chessboard or wanted to use it to cause trouble at Old Master Cheng's birthday banquet, she would not give Gu Yufei this chance.
Huo Niannian lazily raised her eyes. She took Gu Yufei's smug look into her eyes. She kept sneering in her heart, but there was no trace of it on her face.
After a moment, she said lightly, "Alright, do you have anything else? If you don't have anything else, then I'll be leaving first. "
She still had to make the best use of her time to go back and investigate what kind of secrets were on this board. She did not have time to waste with Gu Yufei here.
When Gu Yufei saw that her objective had already been achieved, she did not continue to pester Huo Niannian to prevent her from finding any flaws.
When Huo Niannian returned home, she immediately unwrapped the packaging of the board and revealed the true appearance of the board.
When she saw the true appearance of the chessboard, she was first shocked for a moment. She had been in touch with jewelry design for so long and had also learned some knowledge about identifying jade from Teacher Ning. Although she had only learned a little, she could tell at a glance that this chessboard was not ordinary.
Moreover, it had a sense of age.
Huo Niannian's expression became serious. She prepared to go to the study to look for some information.
At this time, Gu Tingshen just came back and saw her fiddling with a chessboard, so he walked over curiously.
His gaze landed on the chessboard, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Where did you find it?"
Huo Niannian had been flipping through the information for a while, but she still did not find any records about this kind of chessboard.
She pinched her sore neck and replied, "Gu Yufei asked me to give Grandfather a birthday gift. I keep feeling that there is something strange about it. This thing looks like an antique, but I know nothing about it."
After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh. As the saying goes, there is a gap between the two of them. She simply didn't have the slightest talent in studying antiques.
When Gu Tingshen heard that it was Gu Yufei who gave it to him, the smile on his face immediately faded a little.
When he had just entered the door, he could tell that this jade chessboard was probably an old thing from the Tang Dynasty.
As far as he knew, Gu Changqing had never had the hobby of collecting the chessboard.
Putting aside whether Gu Yufei had the ability to get this thing or not, if she had really gotten it by chance, why would she give it to Old Master Cheng?
Gu Tingshen only thought for a moment before his eyes turned deep.
There was only one possibility - just like Niannian thought, Gu Yufei must have other conspiracies.
Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across Gu Tingshen's eyes.
He had been busy dealing with Feng Ming during this period of time and had actually forgotten about Gu Yufei and Du Ruoqing. This gave them a chance to make a move.
His thin lips curled slightly and he sneered. A gloomy and unknown emotion rolled in the depths of his eyes.
Huo Niannian, who was beside him, quickly noticed Gu Tingshen's unusual behavior. She put down the book and the chessboard in her hand and walked to Gu Tingshen's side. Seeing his cold expression, her expression also became somewhat serious.
She could tell that Gu Tingshen should have thought of the same thing as her. Gu Yufei was so bold that she actually dared to make a move on Old Master Cheng...
Huo Niannian pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.
She gritted her teeth. Although she hated Gu Yufei deeply in her heart, the most important thing at the moment was to figure out what was so strange about this thing.
"Can you see what is so strange about it?"
Huo Niannian turned around and took out the chessboard and handed it to Gu Tingshen.
Gu Tingshen took it and the heavy jade fell into his hands, which confirmed his guess.2
This was really the chessboard of the famous Tang Dynasty masters.
"It's also a valuable antique?" Huo Niannian was very surprised and immediately became even more puzzled. What exactly did Gu Yufei spend so much effort to find this antique for?
She endured the doubt in her heart and watched Gu Tingshen carefully observe the jade board.
Suddenly, Gu Tingshen's gaze landed on a pattern on the top of the board.
He frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "The pattern here should have been drawn recently."
Huo Niannian immediately went over and stared at the spot where he discovered the problem for a long time. Sure enough, she found something strange.
"Indeed! The color here is obviously brighter than other places!"
Gu Tingshen nodded. He had to admit that Gu Yufei had done it very secretly this time. If she had not overlooked the problem of color, they might not have been able to discover the secret behind it.
At the same time, his expression became more and more serious. What was it that made Gu Yufei put in so much effort?
What did Gu Yufei put in so much effort and effort to do?
