Chapter 95

——

After work, Qiao Nainai came to pick up Shu Xia.

In the car, Qiao Nainai told her that Qin Lao had bought too many things; he had everything, from stationery and antiques to calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, and all kinds of porcelain and jade.

"If you come across anything you don't understand, just ignore it. If there are fakes, you can tell your Qin Ye; he has plenty of money anyway, and if he gets swindled, it's because he doesn't know his goods. Don't be afraid that he'll be upset if he finds out they're fake."

Shu Xia smiled and agreed to everything, "Alright, I understand."

Qin Lao's home was in the suburbs, a traditional Chinese-style Laozhai.

It had every pavilion, terrace, and tower one could imagine.

When Shu Xia walked in, she thought she had gone to some tourist attraction.

"Why don't you two stay at my place tonight? I've developed a hot spring over there; you can go soak in it," Qin Lao said to Qiao Nainai with a chuckle.

Qiao Nainai hadn't been here for over a year and saw that Qin Lao had renovated the residence again, "When did you put in a hot spring?"

"There was already a hot spring source here; I wanted to soak in one not long ago, so I had them fix it up," Qin Lao replied very casually.

Qiao Nainai wasn't very interested, "I just got out of the hospital, my heart isn't too good, so I'd better not soak. But your place is just like a resort, the air is nice. Let's go, let Xia Xia go see those treasures of yours."

"Alright, let's go." Qin Lao walked in front.

Shu Xia followed the two elders the whole way, taking in the surrounding scenery from time to time.

It was truly too beautiful!

She remembered when she was in college, she came to the suburbs on a Saturday with her classmates and passed by Qin Lao's front gate. At the time, a classmate thought it was a tourist spot and even wanted to ask where to buy tickets, only to be stopped by security, who said it was a private residence, not a tourist spot.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it was a private residence.

They hadn't expected it to be a private residence.

Quite a few classmates were exclaiming that this was just too extravagant!

Now that Shu Xia had walked inside, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart at how extravagant it was; no wonder Qiao Nainai told her not to worry too much about whether there might be fakes that would hurt Qin Lao's feelings.

"We have a vacation villa, and there's a hot spring inside too, right nearby. I called Mu Ting when I went to pick you up; you two can go stay there tonight." Qiao Nainai seized every opportunity to create chances for Shu Xia and Qiao Muting to spend time together.

She had been young once and knew that Xia Xia had a great figure and was beautiful; if she wore a form-fitting swimsuit, her cold grandson might just get a nosebleed.

"Let Mu Ting come directly to my place. It's been a while since I've seen Mu Ting; it'll be good for us two men to have a chat," Qin Lao said hurriedly.

Qiao Nainai rolled her eyes, "The young couple is having their own private time, why are you an old man interfering?"

Qin Lao wasn't angry at being scolded by Qiao Nainai and just chuckled; it was clear that the two elders must have been very good friends when they were young.

"My grandson and granddaughter won't be back from abroad for a while. When they return, you two come over together; it'll be my seventieth birthday, so we can all get together," Qin Lao said.

Qiao Nainai nodded, "Fine, I agree to that."

As they chatted sentence by sentence, they arrived in front of a small two-story building.

"I keep all those things in this building. When I wake up in the morning, I take a walk over to take a look. These old objects, the more I look at them, the more I like them," Qin Lao said, turning back to Shu Xia.

When Shu Xia saw the collection room, which was as large as a two-story building, she was still startled in her heart.

Could this even compare to a small museum?
