Chapter 137: Chapter 137 My Bottom Line is High_1

Chu Zizhou was baffled as he opened it, and to his surprise, it was a reward certificate.

The reason for the award was that Song Yunuan had made a significant contribution to the museum thanks to her rich historical knowledge, and was specially rewarded for it.

The signature at the bottom was from the Beidu Museum.

It was affixed with a bright red official seal.

Gu Huai’an said, "I haven’t had the time recently, please take these to Little Nuan for me."

Chu Zizhou took the certificate and asked if there was anything else Gu Huai’an needed.

Gu Huai’an shook his head.

Over at the Gu family’s dinner was ready, and Gu Huai’an’s mother came over, kindly asking Chu Zizhou if he would like to stay for the meal.

Chu Zizhou hurriedly waved his hands, saying he was leaving Beidu tomorrow and would rather have dinner at home.

Gu Huai’an’s mother, Qin Suyun, did not insist and, seeing her son sitting on the sofa reading, quietly followed out.

Before she could even speak, Chu Zizhou preempted, "Don’t ask me, I know nothing."

Then, carrying the items, he dashed off in a hurry.

Qin Suyun stood at the door, frowning.

It seemed there really was something going on.

Because her usually stoic son had actually asked his secretary Xiao Wu what kind of hairpin girls liked?

Xiao Wu didn’t tell her; she accidentally overheard it at the door,

So was that girl in Nanshan County Town?

Old Master Gu had two sons and two daughters.

The two daughters were married off.

Because of work reasons, he lived with his two sons.

Upstairs and downstairs, a household of more than a dozen people, by all accounts should be lively, but the dining table was silent.

Old Master Gu was very stern.

He rarely spoke at the dining table.

But today, Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Huai’an sitting beside him and directly said, "Huai’an, you’re not young anymore, it’s time to think about settling down. Didn’t I give you a list? Take a look, if you like anyone, you can get to know her."

Gu Huai’an’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his voice calm, "I don’t like any of them; don’t get me these things anymore."

Old Master Gu’s eyes widened, his hand slammed on the table, wanting to scold him, but he couldn’t bear to do it.

His grandson was a treasure, a genius mind, more powerful than a computer.

The other young people at the table all made faces when the Old Master slammed the table.

The Old Master was biased, they knew it would be all bark and no bite.

And sure enough.

Old Master Gu asked, "So you’re not considering it?"

Gu Huai’an put down his chopsticks, surprised, "Why wouldn’t I consider it?"

He was not a bachelor by choice.

Old Master Gu: "..."

The cheeky kid, is he trying to kill me with anger?

Qin Suyun hurriedly stepped in to mediate, her face all smiles, "What are your thoughts? Have you taken a fancy to any family’s daughter?"

Gu Huai’an replied indifferently, "Mom, there’s no need for probing. When the time is ripe, I will naturally bring her to the Gu family, but only if..."

At this point, Gu Huai’an paused, glancing at the members of the Gu family who all widened their eyes in anticipation.

"Don’t presume to investigate, nor fancy that you can intervene. This is my private life, and in this regard, my bottom line is very high, higher than you can imagine!"

The crowd: "..."

Most people like to say, "Don’t test my patience."

But he said his bottom line was high.

How high could it be?

So high that it reached to the heavens, not even a question could be asked?

Qin Suyun closed her mouth, her gaze dropping, silent.

Yet her brows moved slightly, a mix of emotions in her heart that she couldn’t articulate.

Without even knowing who the other party was, Huai’an was already protective.

Her feelings couldn’t be more complex.

Everyone else had different thoughts.

Old Master Gu was genuinely curious, wondering who had caught Huai’an’s eye. Perhaps the answer was in the canvas bag Chu Zizhou took with him.

-----------------

Chu Zizhou found reliable people overnight, ready to create an award certificate for Song Yunuan according to Gu Huai’an’s standards.

But the person making the certificate for him informed Chu Zizhou that the brocade featured on the sample couldn’t be found on the market.

Because it wasn’t for sale.

Could something else be used as a substitute?

Chu Zizhou immediately understood and carefully wrapped the certificate in soft cotton cloth.

The man looked enviously at the wrapped certificate.

He said to Chu Zizhou, "A piece of Yun brocade worth its weight in gold, do you know what that means?"

Chu Zizhou shook his head, "I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to know. Just find me a beautiful brocade, we won’t compare it with this one, and pretend you didn’t see anything."

"Don’t worry, I would never talk carelessly," the man immediately assured him.

He was very quick, completing the certificate’s cover within an hour.

He also had a color printer.

Another certificate was made.

The name wasn’t filled in, but everything else that was needed was printed on it.

Chu Zizhou thanked his friend and then left the small courtyard.

He blamed Gu Huai’an in his mind, why hadn’t he been informed?

If he had accidentally damaged such a valuable piece of Yun brocade, what would he have done?

Was he trying to set up a trap?

Moreover, he must have been very attentive.

Anyone uninformed might think this was a marriage certificate.

Meanwhile, at the Gu family’s place,

Gu Huai’an had already gone to Dragon Aviation, Qin Suyun and Gu Hua had gone to their room, certainly to discuss matters.

As for why they didn’t discuss it together.

It was because their differing opinions might lead to arguments.

They simply decided to discuss separately.

Old Master Gu sat alone in the study pondering.

He was a man who didn’t believe in superstitions.

After much thought, he still decided to seek out trustworthy individuals to discreetly make inquiries.

Damn kid, setting such high standards.

Can’t we just investigate and do nothing else?

We need to know what kind of person you’re going to bring into the family as your girl.

-----------------

Grandma Xia only stayed in the hospital for three days before declaring she would stay no longer; she insisted on going home.

She said not even a golden nest or a silver nest compares to her own doghouse.

No matter how good the conditions were here, she couldn’t sleep at ease.

The issue between Xia Xinshan and Whang Xiaoman was resolved the afternoon after it happened.

Whang Xiaoman could only take what belonged to her; Xia Guilan had brought the allotted grain and the full amount of 50 yuan without a single cent missing.

Two police officers accompanied her.

Her new husband was following not far behind.

The people of Willow Tree Village gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Whang Xiaoman kept cursing under her breath.

Seeing only Xia Xinshan at home, she wanted to scold him as before, calling him a useless coward without any prospects.

But she found that Xia Xinshan had changed.

He wouldn’t even let her into the yard.

Standing at the gate, he said with an icy voice, "We agreed when we divorced that you would no longer bother with Xique, and you would have nothing to do with her in the future.

So, if you dare to go after Xique, I’ll stand at your doorstep and sing every day."

As soon as these words came out, the nearby crowd burst into laughter,

rocking with mirth.

They thought Xia Xinshan was finally standing up for himself.

Who would have thought he would actually go sing at his ex-wife’s doorstep?

But then again, if that really happened, Whang Xiaoman wouldn’t be able to live in peace.

This move... was actually quite spiteful.

Whang Xiaoman looked at Xia Xinshan in disbelief.

This damned, good-for-nothing loser, how dare he threaten her?

The two police officers beside her frowned and reminded her, "Whang Xiaoman, put down the grain and give the money back to Xia Xinshan."
