"How could it be?" The old man looked at Gu Nianzhi with squinted eyes, his eyes lingering on her lips, and said: "... Since you are from New York, you don't know that the college girls over there, Your favorite gardadd, right?"
Gu Nianzhi was immediately furious. This was simply a humiliation to her. ￣︶︺
But on the surface, I had to pretend to be more interested and said: "There are indeed some of our classmates who are looking for gardadd. I also know that there is a website specifically for them to look for gardadd..."
The old man smiled, stood up slowly, and said, "Think about it carefully. If you are interested, you can always come to New York's Central Park to find me."
He put an English business card in front of Gu Nianzhi without urging her, making it clear that he would play hard to get.
Gu Nianzhi lowered his head, looked at the business card, and quickly thought about what this person meant.
Gu Nianzhi didn't think she was so beautiful that a person she met for the first time could suggest nurturing.
But this man didn't seem to be joking.
Gu Nianzhi stretched out his hand, picked up the business card, raised his head and smiled, "I will consider it."
Her beauty is originally dynamic, delicate and smart, especially moving when she speaks.
But this smile when he raised his eyes was like spring returning to the earth, everything was revived, his eyes were full of spring light, and it was dazzlingly beautiful.
The old man's eyes were dark, as if he had remembered something, and he nodded to Gu Nianzhi, "Think about it carefully, I'm tired and need to rest. You can do whatever you want. The furniture here is good, and the garden view outside is not bad. You You can shoot whatever you want.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and agreed, "Thank you."
Then he asked: "What's your last name? How do you address me?"
The man didn't look back, paused, and said calmly: "My surname is Xu, you can call me Mr. Xu."
Gu Nianzhi responded, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."
"Yeah." The man responded and went to the stairs.
After the man went upstairs, Huo Shaoheng came out of the bathroom, still looking careless, and kicked the sofa where Gu Nianzhi was sitting with his long legs, "Grace, are you leaving? I'm hungry and I need to eat. .”
Gu Nianzhi stood up with a smile, "Let's go, I want to eat too."
She walked out with Huo Shaoheng.
The old man who was already in the bedroom upstairs pushed aside a painting on the wall, opened the safe hidden on the wall behind the painting, and took out a yellowed photo and looked at it carefully.
That photo was taken with film decades ago, and after years of wasted time, the resolution is now very low.
But even if it starts to blur, you can still see the cute and smart smile of the little girl sitting between the two elegant men and women.
The way she smiles is so similar to the girl downstairs who claims to be from New York...
The old man's eyes flashed slightly.
He put the photo back into the safe and put the painting back in front of him.
When I walked to the window, I saw the two young men who claimed to be from New York walking through the front yard and going out.
The old man picked up his mobile phone and said to the young servant who was seeing off the guests: "Please come back, I have an old photo here from decades ago. The little girl in the photo looks a bit like that girl. They should be interested. Ask them if they want to see it.”
The young servant was a little surprised, but he still did as he was told.
She stopped Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile: "Please stay, you two. Our master said that there are old photos from decades ago. The little girl in the photos looks a bit like you. Are you interested? Do you want to see them?" ?”
"Old photos from decades ago?!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Finally there are photos!
There was also a little girl who looked somewhat similar to Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi's intuition was that the photos were related to Qin Huichang's family.
Huo Shaoheng felt a little uncomfortable with the old man and didn't want to go back and look at the photos.
But Gu Nianzhi was very stubborn. She squeezed Huo Shaoheng's hand and said to the young servant: "You go back first. I will discuss it with my companion. He is anxious to go back for dinner."
"Okay." The young servant saw that these two people didn't know each other and actually didn't listen to her master's words. She was a little disdainful of them, but she still looked very polite on the surface and turned back to the main room.
When Gu Nianzhi saw this man walking away, he whispered to Huo Shaoheng, "Let's go and have a look. Maybe there will be a major breakthrough?"
Huo Shaoheng stared at her and said lightly: "I saw him touching your hand in the living room."
Gu Nianzhi's face suddenly turned red and he muttered in a low voice: "I was just trying to trick him, on purpose. He told me about gardadd and asked me if I wanted to find someone to help me pay the tuition... I was pretending to be confused with him... "
Huo Shaoheng smoothed her hair with his hands and said helplessly: "It's not possible to just use the trick. We don't know how to do this kind of thing. This method is the worst, and usually the gain outweighs the loss."
Gu Nianzhi pushed his hand away and said slightly: "I won't look for gardadd, but I must see the photos. After searching for so long, this is the first time I have the opportunity to see old photos related to Qin Huichang's family."
That photo must show what Qin Suwen looked like before he was disfigured in the car accident.
Huo Shaoheng watched Gu Nianzhi turn around and leave towards the main house, so he had no choice but to follow him.
The old man was hiding behind the fine-lattice antique windows upstairs, watching all this silently.
Seeing that they had turned around, the old man took out a reproduced photo and put it in an envelope. He rang the bell and called another male servant and said, "Give them this photo and tell them that it is a remake and not the original." It’s on the table in the small living room on the first floor, the small table in the middle of the room.”
The male servant agreed and went downstairs with the envelope containing the photo.
The old man also went downstairs, first went to the small reception room to put things, then came out and went out through the back door.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng just walked in.
The male servant handed them the envelope containing the reproduced photos and said, "This is given to you by our master."
Gu Nianzhi took it, opened the envelope, and took out a photo that looked like a remake. The photo was very old and unclear.
It can be seen that the original film must be quite old, so the reproduced photos are even more unclear.
But it can also be seen that this is a family portrait of a family of three.
It has the characteristics of that era.
Sitting in front of her small foreign-style building, the hostess had a high table next to her and a pot of flowers on the high table.
There was a little girl sitting between the host and hostess. She had two braids and her face was very small. The resolution of the photo was so low that it was almost impossible to see her face clearly.
But the host and hostess can still clearly see their appearance. Their handsome and elegant appearance can be vaguely distinguished. Judging from their age, they should be in their early thirties.
It is exactly the same as the profile photo of Qin Huichang and his wife collected by Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng!
They found the photo from the university information where Qin Huichang and his wife joined the company, but it was a one-inch square registration photo.
Gu Nianzhi became excited and asked quickly: "Do you have the original film? This seems to be a remake, right?"
The male servant admired his master's ingenuity and said quickly: "Yes, it's in the room over there. Our master treasures this photo very much, so the original photo cannot be shown to anyone casually."
Gu Nianzhi nodded to express understanding and hurriedly walked over.
Huo Shaoheng's mood was very complicated.
Unexpectedly, this old man really had old photos of Qin Huichang's family at that time.
What does this mean
This shows that this person's relationship with Qin Huichang's family is not an ordinary one...
Compared with the previous two colleagues and neighbors, I should know more.
But Huo Shaoheng didn't like that person's behavior.
How could Qin Huichang and his wife be close friends with such people
Huo Shaoheng was a little puzzled and followed Gu Nianzhi into the small reception room next to him.
The reception room was indeed very small, and it was filled with furniture, which crowded the already small space to the point where there was almost no room to stay.
Antique curtains hang in front of the windows, and ancient palace lanterns hang from the four corners of the roof.
There was no natural light that could shine into the room, and the light from the palace lanterns was dim, making everything in the room shadowy, as if walking into the dust of history.
Without squinting, Gu Nianzhi looked straight at the small table in the center of the small reception room.
There is a standing doll on the table. She has a pink and purple misty princess dress, thick bangs, slender eyes, a silver plate-like face, and a plump figure. She looks like a little girl who stepped out of an ancient painting. The girl is not a common Western-style doll, but a doll with ancient imperial characteristics.
There was an envelope placed in front of the doll, which was exactly the same as the envelope that the male servant brought just now.
It must be the original film inside.
Gu Nianzhi's heart was pounding.
She had seen that doll before, and it was almost exactly the same as the doll she was holding in the photo on her eleventh birthday.
Later, Huo Shaoheng and the others made copies of a batch of dolls based on the dolls in the photos, intending to soothe the frightened twelve-year-old Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi has always liked these dolls. They were the best memories of her childhood, because she thought these dolls represented her forgotten childhood.
It wasn't until later that I discovered that the facial features and expressions of this doll and Wen Shouyi were somewhat similar, that I no longer liked them.
But why does a doll like this appear here
Could it also be related to his maternal grandparents and biological mother
Does the envelope placed in front of the doll contain the original film
She was finally going to see photos of her mother when she was a child...
Huo Shaoheng followed in and glanced around quickly.
Suddenly his eyes froze and he stood still on his feet.
He was about to tell Gu Nianzhi not to move, but Gu Nianzhi was in a excited mood and had quick eyes and hands. He had already reached for the envelope in front of the doll on the table.
The envelope was actually glued to the doll.
Without thinking, I subconsciously held the doll with a little force and pulled it up, trying to pick up the doll and the letter together.
Both the doll and the letter were pulled up by her, but at this moment, she seemed to have touched some mechanism.
Just hearing a roar, she felt her feet were empty. The floor she was standing on suddenly moved to both sides, revealing the hole below. She fell down before she could scream.
Huo Shaoheng only had half a second to think.
The door behind him is closing automatically, and the loose floorboard in front of him is also closing automatically.
In a flash of lightning, Huo Shaoheng rushed towards the loosened floor and jumped after Gu Nianzhi before it closed.
