BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1783
Chapter 1783: Chapter 1783 re-enacted (1)(the second is asking for a monthly ticket)
“How can that be?”The old man squinted at Gu Nianzhi, his gaze lingering on her lips, he said,”... Since You’re from New York, you must know that the college girls there love to look for Sugar Daddy, right?”
Gu Nianzhi was instantly enraged. This was a complete insult to her.
However, she had to pretend to be interested and said, “Some of our classmates do look for Sugar Daddy. I also know of a website that lets them look for Sugar Daddy...”
The old man smiled and slowly stood up. “Think about it. If you’re interested, you can come to New York’s Central Park to look for me anytime.”
He placed an English business card in front of Gu Nianzhi. He did not rush her, but was clearly playing hard to get.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and looked at the business card, her mind racing to figure out what this person meant.
Gu Nianzhi did not think she was beautiful enough for someone she had just met to suggest that she was a mistress.
But this person did not seem to be joking.
Gu Nianzhi reached out and picked up the business card. She raised her head and smiled. “I’ll think about it.”
Her beauty was dynamic. She was delicate and lively, and when she spoke, it was especially moving.
However, when she looked up and smiled, it was as if spring had returned to the land. Everything was revived, and her eyes were filled with the light of spring. Her beauty was dazzling.
The old man’s eyes were dark. He seemed to have thought of something and nodded at Gu Nianzhi, “Think about it. I’m tired and need to rest. Help yourself. The furniture here is good, and the garden outside isn’t too bad either. You can take as many pictures as you want.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and agreed. “Thank you.”
She asked again, “May I know your surname? How should I address you?”

The man did not turn around. He paused and said plainly, “No, your surname is Xu. You can call me Mr. Xu.”
Gu nianzhi replied, “Thank you, Mr. Xu.”
“Okay.”The man answered and headed for the stairs.
Huo Shaoheng only came out of the bathroom after the man had gone upstairs. He still looked nonchalant and kicked the sofa Gu Nianzhi was sitting on. “Grace, are you coming? I’m hungry. I want to eat.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and stood up. “Then let’s go. I want to eat too.”
She walked out with Huo Shaoheng.
The old man upstairs had already pushed aside a painting on the wall and opened the hidden safe on the wall behind the painting. He took out a yellowed photo and examined it carefully.
The photo had been taken with film decades ago. After all the years, the clarity of the photo was now very low.
But even if it was beginning to blur, it could still be seen the delicate and lively smiling face of the little girl sitting between the two elegant men and women.
The way she smiled was too similar to the girl downstairs who claimed to be from New York..
The old man’s eyes sparkled.
He put the photo back into the safe and put the painting back in front of him.
When he walked to the window, he saw the two young men who claimed to be from New York walking through the front yard, about to go out.
The old man picked up his phone, he said to the young servant who was seeing them off, “Please come back. I have an old photo from decades ago. The 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 she did as she was told.
She stopped Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng and said with a smile, “Please Wait a moment. Our master said that there is an old photo from decades ago. The girl in the photo looks a bit like you. Are you interested? Do you want to see it?”
“An old photo from decades ago? !”Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up.
Finally, there’s a photo!
There was also a little girl that looked a little like Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi had a hunch that it was a photo related to Qin Huichang’s family.
Huo Shaoheng, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable with the old man. He did not want to go back and look at the photo.
Gu Nianzhi was very stubborn. She squeezed Huo Shaoheng’s hand and said to the young servant, “You go back first. I’ll discuss it with my partner. He’s in a hurry to go back for dinner.”
“Okay.”The young servant saw that the two of them didn’t know what to do and didn’t listen to her master. She was a little disdainful of them, but she still looked polite on the surface. She turned around and went back to the main house.
Gu Nianzhi saw that the man had gone far away, so she whispered to Huo shaoheng, “Let’s go take a look. Maybe there’s a big breakthrough?”
Huo Shaoheng stared at her and said indifferently, “I saw him touching your hand in the living room.”
Gu Nianzhi’s face turned red and she muttered, “I was just playing along. I did it on purpose. He asked me if I should find someone to help pay for Sugar Daddy’s tuition... I was just playing dumb with him...”
Huo Shaoheng ran his hand through her hair and said helplessly, “We can’t play along. We don’t know how to do this kind of thing. This kind of trick is the worst, and it usually doesn’t pay off.”
Gu Nianzhi pushed his hand away and said sullenly, “I won’t look for Sugar Daddy, but I have to see the photos. After so long, this is the first time I’ve had the chance to see an old photo of Qin Huichang’s family.”
The photo must have shown Qin Suwen’s face before the car accident.
Huo Shaoheng watched as Gu Nianzhi turned and left for the main house, so he had no choice but to follow her.
The old man hid behind the antique windows upstairs and watched everything silently.
Seeing that they had turned around, the old man took out a remade photo and put it in an envelope. He rang the bell to call for another male servant, he said, “Give them this photo and tell them it’s a remake. The original is on the table in the small reception 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 went downstairs as well. He went to the small reception room to put his things in, then came out and went out through the back door.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng had just walked in.
The male servant handed them the envelope containing the remake photo and said, “This is from our master.”
Gu Nianzhi took it and opened the envelope. She took out a photo that was obviously a remake. The photo was very old and blurry.
She could tell that the original photo was old, so the remake was even more blurry.
However, she could also tell that it was a family photo of three people.
It had the characteristics of that era.
Sitting in front of her house was a tall table with a pot of flowers on it.
Between the man and the woman sat a little girl with two braids. Her face was very small, and the photo was so blurry that it was almost impossible to see her face clearly.
However, the man and the woman could still see her face clearly. She could vaguely make out her handsome and elegant appearance. Judging from her age, she should be in her early thirties.
It was exactly the same as the photo of Qin Huichang and his wife that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng had collected!
They had found the photo from the university documents that Qin Huichang and his wife had entered in the past, but it was a one-inch-square registration photo.
Gu Nianzhi was excited and quickly asked, “Do you have the original? This seems to be a remake, right?”
The male servant was very impressed with his master’s resourcefulness and quickly said, “Yes, it’s in the room over there. Our master treasured this photo very much, so we can’t just show the original to anyone.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded in understanding and quickly walked over.
Huo Shaoheng’s feelings were very complicated.
He hadn’t expected this old man to really have an old photo of Qin Huichang’s family at that time.
What did this mean?
This meant that this person’s relationship with Qin Huichang’s family was unusually close..
Compared to his previous two colleagues and neighbors, he should know more.
However, Huo Shaoheng’s instincts didn’t like the way that person acted.
How Could Qin Huichang and his wife be good friends with such a person?
Huo Shaoheng was a little puzzled. He followed Gu Nianzhi into the small reception room next door.
The reception room was indeed very small. It was filled with furniture, and the originally small room was packed to the brim. There was practically no place to stay.
Antique curtains hung in front of the windows, and ancient palace lanterns hung on the four corners of the roof.
There was no natural light in the room, and the palace lanterns were dim, illuminating everything in the room. It was as if they had walked into the dust of history.
Gu Nianzhi stared straight ahead at the small table in the middle of the small reception room.
There was a standing doll on the table. It was a pink and purple princess dress, with thick bangs, slender eyes, a face like a silver plate, and a voluptuous figure. It looked like a little girl from an ancient painting, it was not a typical western-style doll, but a doll that had the characteristics of the ancient empire.
There was an envelope in front of the doll, exactly the same as the envelope that the male servant had brought.
It must be the original.
Gu Nianzhi’s heart pounded.
She had seen that doll before, and it was almost exactly the same as the doll she had held in the photo of her eleventh birthday.
Later, Huo Shaoheng and the others had copied a batch of dolls from the doll in the photo, intending to soothe the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi’s frightened emotions.
Gu Nianzhi had always liked these dolls. They were the best memories of her youth, because she thought they represented her forgotten childhood.
It wasn’t until later that she realized that this doll’s facial features and demeanor were similar to Wen Shouyi’s. She no longer liked them.
But why would dolls like this appear here?
Could it also be related to his maternal grandparents and biological mother?
Was the envelope in front of the doll the original one?
She was finally going to see her mother’s childhood photos..
Huo Shaoheng followed her in and quickly scanned his surroundings.
Suddenly, his gaze froze and he stood still.
He was about to ask Gu Nianzhi not to move, but Gu Nianzhi was so excited that she quickly reached for the envelope in front of the doll on the table.
The envelope was stuck to the doll.
Gu Nianzhi subconsciously grabbed the doll with some force and pulled it up, trying to pick up the doll and the letter.
She pulled both the doll and the letter up, but at that moment, she seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism.
There was a loud bang, and she felt the ground beneath her feet empty. The floor she was standing on suddenly split apart, revealing a hole in the ground below. She didn’t have time to scream before she fell down.
Huo Shaoheng only had half a second to think.
The door behind him was closing automatically, and the floor in front of him was closing automatically as well.
In a flash, Huo Shaoheng pounced on the loose floor and chased after Gu Nianzhi before it closed.
