Black-bellied Bamboo Horse: Xiaoqingmei, I can't eat enough!

Chapter 481 What a Time
Soon, Gu Nian saw Xu Muqing.

He just happened to look over and was meeting Gu Nian's eyes.

Gu Nian smiled at him and raised the wine glass in his hand.

Well, last time Luo Han said that she was too anxious and easily scared people, this time she can't be too abnormal!Eat a fall and gain a wisdom!

Xu Muqing didn't respond to her, but walked towards her directly.

"Teacher Xu, happy birthday."

When he approached, Gu Nian smiled sweetly and raised his glass to him.

Xu Muqing clinked glasses with her lightly, but told her, "Drink less."

Gu Nian nodded, and only took a sip of the champagne in his hand, expressing that he was very obedient.

Xu Muqing was about to drink, but was stopped by Gu Nian: "Don't, you can't drink too much today."

Xu Muqing was taken aback for a moment, remembering the incident when she poured a glass back then, she smiled helplessly: "This is not wine."

Gu Nian blinked and nodded in understanding.

Oh yes, just like the sparkling water that Fang Rui gave her back then.

"Okay," Gu Nian nodded, and raised his glass to him again, "Thank you for your rescue in country n this time."

Xu Muqing's eyes dimmed, she looked at Gu Nian and said, "Let's go?"

Gu Nian looked at him with some hesitation on his face, but finally nodded.

The two went to the balcony one after another. Xu Muqing looked at Gu Nian with deep eyes: "You...why are you there? How did you come back?"

After Xu Muqing said so much, Gu Nian really wanted to applaud him.

But of course she couldn't do that, she could only think about it in her heart.

Gu Nian sighed lightly, bit her lower lip and said, "A few days ago, my stepmother went to jail, you should know that, right?"

Xu Muqing nodded.

Gu Nian sighed softly, leaning on the railing and looking at the long night: "It's her, who kidnapped me. If I hadn't met you that day, I might not have come back."

Xu Muqing frowned, unable to understand what Gu Nian meant.

Gu Nian seemed to be struggling, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "That person bought me from a human trafficker. You showed up that day and angered him. The next day, you threw me into the river to drown me."

Xu Muqing's eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Nian in disbelief.

Gu Nian knew that he was struggling to speak, so he simply told the "truth" directly: "It's also my fate. I floated all the way down the river, but I didn't die. Instead, I was rescued by the soldiers and saved my life."

After finishing speaking, Gu Nian sighed a long time, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Xu Muqing with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Xu, there is no repayment for saving your life, just tell me if you have something to do in the future."

Xu Muqing hesitated for a while, then patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, it's over."

Gu Nian nodded again and again, and repeated Xu Muqing's words as if to comfort herself: "Well, it's all over." After finishing speaking, she asked as if changing the subject, "Then why are you there, Teacher Xu?"

"Jade." Xu Muqing replied simply.

"Go into the jade, you are really unlucky, you are a disaster." Gu Nian lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

Xu Muqing shook her head, looked at her and said, "No."

"Then how did you... come back?" Gu Nian looked at him and asked tentatively.

She knew how Xu Muqing came back, but in Xu Muqing's eyes, she probably didn't know, so she had to ask this question.

"Police." Xu Muqing replied.

Gu Nian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded clearly: "Yes, you must have brought someone there, but... fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I would have spent the rest of my life blaming myself."

Xu Muqing continued to shake her head, looked at her and said, "No need."

Gu Nian smiled at him, the pain in his eyes couldn't be concealed, Xu Muqing stared at him all over.

A gust of cool wind woke Gu Nian from her sadness. She blinked and said to Xu Muqing, "Mr. Xu, go in quickly. You are the protagonist today, so don't let me occupy you for too long."

Xu Muqing nodded and watched her make a "please" gesture.

Gu Nian nodded with a smile, and followed Xu Muqing back to the venue.

"Master Xu, happy birthday!"

When Xu Muqing came back, she was immediately surrounded by guests.

Gu Nian backed away calmly, found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, and sent a message to Sun Haolin.

"Third Brother, let me ask you, is there any jade in Dongbeng Village?"

Sun Haolin replied quickly. Obviously, the training of special forces made him very irritable and boring: "Why do you ask this? You are not allowed to touch the things over there."

"Huh???" Gu Nian's heart beat extremely violently.

She seems to remember that Wu Wei once said that people from Dongbeng Village to Country N are drug dealers, wanted criminals, gamblers... just don't know, are there any smugglers?
The Xu family is in the jewelry and jade business, and a stable supply of goods is naturally essential.

As the young master of the Xu family, Xu Muqing, even if he wanted to choose the stones himself, he should go to those large mines or stone markets. How could he go to that run-down place where there are no villages, no shops, and drug dealers everywhere? What about the village?
After returning, Gu Nian also checked, that small town is not the only way to go to any mine, not to mention, she met Xu Muqing at that KTV...

All of this can only explain one problem - where Xu Muqing went, he didn't just pass by, that was his destination.

Sun Haolin did not reply to Gu Nian for a long time, which made Gu Nian frown.

It is rare for Sun Haolin not to look back on his recalled WeChat, except when he is doing a task, or just... can't say.

Gu Nian raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, feeling that her mind was in a mess.

It seemed that something was ignored by her.

But... what is it?

"Nian Dabao! What are you doing here with me?"

A sudden sound interrupted Gu Nian's thoughts completely.

Gu Nian raised her head and looked at Luo Han resentfully: "Brother Han, it's really time for you to come!"

Luo Han was taken aback, and sat down beside her: "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Gu Nian shook his head and sighed lightly.

Well, the originally uneasy thoughts are even more fragmented now.

Gu Nian frowned, and asked him casually, "Brother Han, do you know how much the tariffs are on jewelry and jade?"

Luo Han was taken aback, and asked her with some doubts: "What's the matter? Want to play with this thing?"

Gu Nian just shrugged: "Suddenly remembered it, and then I couldn't remember it clearly. If I don't bother to look it up, I'll ask you."

"Jade tariffs are 17.00%, plus [-]% value-added tax. If high-end gemstones are classified as luxury goods, the tax will be higher." Luo Han shook his head and sighed, "Every year at the end of the year, look back My heart bleeds for Stears taxes."

Gu Nian smiled lightly, and said pointedly: "Then the Xu family pays more import taxes every year?"

Luo Han nodded as it should: "Yes, that's what his family does."

Gu Nian's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.
