Chapter 713

"Are there any ripe grapes in our orchard? Pick a few bunches and bring them in," Li Qianqian instructed the servant nearby.

Shu Xia followed Li Qianqian the whole way, calculating the time in her head; if she went home, it would probably be around eight or nine o'clock.

In the car, Li Qianqian revealed how many items there were.

It looked like she would need to find a time for this.

They entered the villa and went upstairs.

The third floor was not divided into rooms.

A great many antique ornaments were displayed there.

The dazzling array was enough to confuse the eye.

Large and small, paintings, Blue and White Porcelain, bronzeware, jadeite, nephrite, and so on—everything was there.

"There are quite a lot of things," Shu Xia was slightly surprised.

Li Qianqian said with some embarrassment, "It was my brother's birthday two days ago, and he received quite a few more things. I haven't been up here for the past two days, so I didn't expect there to be so many more."

Shu Xia looked at them one by one.

There were many items, so she needed to look at them slowly.

Li Qianqian did not dare to disturb Shu Xia and followed silently to the side. This was her first time seeing Shu Xia at work, and she found her gaze involuntarily drawn to her.

Even she, a girl, felt that Shu Xia looked too charming when working seriously, let alone those men; they must be completely captivated by Shu Xia.

Isn't that exactly the case with Gu Cheng?

He can even go and be an assistant for Shu Xia now.

Shu Xia pointed to a few of the items, "Take photos of these few first to make a record."

Then she went to look at the other items.

Li Qianqian immediately went to take photos.

Half an hour later, the servant brought over washed grapes and other fruits.

There was also some tea.

"Sister Xia Xia, do you want to sit down, drink some water, and eat some fruit to take a break? I just had them prepare dinner," Li Qianqian asked.

It seemed her brother should be back soon too.

He had called her this morning, saying he would accompany her for dinner tonight.

She hadn't specifically asked Sister Xia Xia to come today; she had assumed that after mentioning it today, she would have to wait a couple of days for Sister Xia Xia to come over.

"No need for now, I'm not hungry yet; let's finish looking at everything first." Shu Xia's eyes did not move away, as she was intently studying the few paintings in front of her.

These paintings were all very well preserved, and one could tell at a glance that they were of great value.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from somewhere.

"The servant just said you brought a friend over?"

Hearing her brother's voice, Li Qianqian hurriedly turned her head to look, "Brother!"

Li Yuan looked toward Shu Xia.

Hearing that Li Qianqian had brought someone directly up to the third floor, he was worried.

Qianqian was young and easily deceived.

Most of the things kept on the third floor were of great value, and it was easy for people to develop greed.

But Qianqian had a kind nature and was easily tricked by others.

He, Li Yuan, would absolutely not allow his sister to be deceived.

When his gaze landed on Shu Xia's profile, he was slightly stunned.

It felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

Perhaps hearing the sound of him talking to Qianqian, Shu Xia looked over toward him.

A moment ago it was her profile, but now they were facing each other directly.

A look of surprise flashed in the depths of Li Yuan's eyes.

No wonder he felt she looked familiar just now!
