The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Chapter 307 Learn to Conceal Skills

The car stopped in front of them, and Ruolan and Nan Yuan'er immediately rushed forward, eagerly opening the car door from the outside.

"Mommy~ Aunt Yuan'er~" Mengmeng opened her arms and greeted the two people outside the car door warmly.

Ruolan gently stroked the stray hairs that the wind blew across Mengmeng's face. "Are you hurt?"

"Did those people hurt you?" Nan Yuan'er asked with equal concern.

There are real-time news reports online about their situation. Those at home are incredibly anxious, wishing they could grow wings and fly over to rescue them from their predicament.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gu Shiyu bravely and skillfully drive the car out of the crowd.

Mengmeng jumped out of the car, full of energy. "Brother is amazing. He protected Mengmeng very well. She didn't get hurt at all."

Gu Yinshen stepped forward from behind. "It's good that you're not injured. Don't stand here, let's go inside and talk."

"I'd almost forgotten." Gu Jingsi came to Nan Yuan'er's side and asked with concern, "Wife, are your legs sore from standing for so long?"

Upon learning that they were on their way back, they couldn't wait to come out and greet them. It had been half an hour already.

Seeing how much Gu Jingsi cared for Nan Yuan'er, Ruolan cast an envious glance at him.

"Honey, are your legs sore? Do you want me to massage them to help them relax in a bit?" Gu Yinshen asked earnestly.

Ruolan was somewhat surprised and embarrassed. She reached out and nudged Gu Yinshen, who was standing next to her, and quickly walked into the house with her head down.

"Big brother, you've made your sister-in-law blush," Gu Jingsi teased.

Gu Yinshen said with a smile, "How cute!"

"Yes, yes, so cute." Gu Jingsi chuckled to himself, pulling Nan Yuan'er closer to him.

Chatting and laughing, they returned to the living room, where Gu Shiyu placed the small gourd on the table.

Gu Jingsi saw it first, picked it up and examined it, "Why did you buy such a gourd?"

"How much did you pay for it?" Gu Yinshen asked.

Everyone knows that the antique market is rife with inflated prices, and it's rare to find truly good items.

Gu Jingsi didn't notice anything special about the gourd, and turned to show it to Gu Yinshen.

Seeing that they had both looked at the gourd, Gu Shiyu finally spoke up, "I bought it for three thousand."

"This gourd is only the size of a palm?" Gu Jingsi felt it wasn't worth it.

Although three thousand yuan is not much in their eyes, the value of this gourd, from the outside, is only about a hundred yuan.

Gu Shiyu asked earnestly, "Aren't you curious about when it was unearthed?"

"Judging by its quality and style, it's something that's been made in recent years. It's not worth three thousand," Gu Jingsi commented.

Gu Shiyu looked at Gu Yinshen, waiting for his evaluation.

After looking him over, Gu Yinshen thought he was an exceptional person.

“Not in the near future,” he said.

Gu Jingsi exclaimed in surprise, "Take another look. Doesn't this look like it's from recently?"

"No, that's not it." Gu Yinshen remained firm in his previous statement.

He regularly attends antique auctions and has seen various artifacts with a long history. Based on his previous experience, he determined that this item was an artifact unearthed a long time ago.

Gu Jingsi really couldn't tell. He picked up the gourd again and looked at it inside and out, but still thought it was very ordinary.

"Shi Yu, do you know what year this artifact is from?" Gu Jingsi asked anxiously.

“Mengmeng knows,” Gu Shiyu said. “Mengmeng, tell them what you know.”

Mengmeng, who was standing to the side talking to Ruolan and Nan Yuan'er, was called out by Gu Shiyu. She turned her head to face the surprised gazes of Gu Yinshen and Gu Jingsi.

"Dad, Uncle, the little gourd is from the Spring and Autumn Period," Mengmeng said, revealing her knowledge.

"How did you know?" Gu Jingsi pressed.

"Little Gourd told me," Mengmeng said, pointing to the gourd in his hand.

He didn't hear wrong, did he? A gourd?

Gu Jingsi looked down at the small gourd in his hand, and asked Mengmeng uncertainly, "You mean the gourd told you that?"

"Mmm." Mengmeng nodded.

At this moment, Gu Shiyu spoke up: "After we went to the Guwan Market, we discovered that Mengmeng can sense everything that happens to the cultural relics by touching them."

This statement shocked everyone.

Her ability to summon healing butterflies was already extraordinary, but now she can even communicate with lifeless artifacts—it's simply unbelievable.

"Mengmeng, is what Shi Yu said true?" Gu Yinshen asked.

Mengmeng nodded, "Yes, Mengmeng can really see them from the process of making them to what they go through afterwards."

If she used this special ability to select antiques, wouldn't she be able to pick out the best antiques and sell them at high prices?

Thinking of this, Gu Jingsi immediately saw the drawbacks of this function.

The Gu family has ample funds and doesn't need to resort to such methods to make money. However, there are many people in this world who want to get rich overnight, and if they knew about Mengmeng's special ability, they would definitely have ulterior motives.

"Mengmeng, you must not tell anyone else about this ability of yours besides us," Gu Jingsi instructed.

“My brother said something similar,” Mengmeng said.

She just found it amusing and didn't realize what they were worried about.

“Listen to me, avoid contact with these antiques from now on,” Gu Yinshen said. “Don’t go to the antique market anymore.”

Can't go?

Mengmeng immediately pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

She promised them she wouldn't reveal her special abilities to anyone else, so why are they still preventing her from going to the antique market?

When Mingming came back, her brother promised her that he would take her there again this weekend to see all the antique markets they hadn't had a chance to visit yet.

Sensing Mengmeng's unhappiness, Ruolan asked, "Do you still want to go to the antique market?"

"My brother promised Mengmeng that he would take Mengmeng there this weekend," Mengmeng said, feeling wronged.

Considering Gu Yinshen's concerns, Gu Shiyu said, "Dad, don't worry, with me by Mengmeng's side, no outsiders will know about her special abilities."

That being said, there will inevitably be times when things are exposed.

But he couldn't bear to see Mengmeng sad, so he had no choice but to compromise and agree, "Alright then, but please be careful when you go there."

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on her."

"Yes, when my brother is with Mengmeng, he will protect her."

Seeing Mengmeng acting like a little adult, saying things to reassure them, they couldn't help but laugh at her adorable appearance.

Outside the gate, Tian Tian came into the courtyard accompanied by the driver.

Laughter and cheerful voices drifted from the living room, but Tian Tian's face instantly turned to hatred.

With Mengmeng around, even if she relied on the fact that she was her biological daughter, she couldn't surpass her popularity.

All of this is because she is cunning and tries every means to grab attention that shouldn't be hers.

If she can't have it, she can't have it either!
