A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 561 The Young Master is also planning to take the treasure

Jin Bao said with tears in his eyes, "How is it possible? The eldest young master would never do such a thing. The eldest young master likes you the most and loves you the most. Go and help me talk to her. I will always be humble and humble when I see Miss Tian in the future. They are still discussing it downstairs, so hurry up and go."

As he said that, he pulled Gui'er hard, and Gui'er quickly said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go."

In fact, she didn't want to go, but now Jinbao's belly was as big as a ball. It would be troublesome if something happened and she had to blame it.

Gui'er returned to the living room and sat down. She heard Director Tian say to Sha Yanyao with a smile, "By the way, I heard that Director Shen was the one who was killed in the explosion. Your former father-in-law seemed to have hidden a lot of jewelry and antiques. You found them, didn't you?"

Sha Yanyao was visibly taken aback, then smiled and said, "No such thing. It's just a small dispute. My ex-wife and I were married for a very short time, but my father gave her a lot of gifts to promote the marriage between our two families. We were supposed to get them back during the divorce, but Director Shen actually hid these things and left a will, saying that they were for his illegitimate son. My family definitely can't swallow this, so we're arguing about it now."

These words answered the question but also blurred the main point. Gui'er secretly praised them in her heart. If Director Tian knew about the antiques and jewelry in Director Shen's three warehouses, he would definitely get a share of the profits. Maybe Director Zhou's blackmail incident would happen again.

The next day, Gui'er was about to take a rickshaw to school when Sha Yanyao suddenly said, "Sister, I have some errands near your school today. You can take my rickshaw to school, and Ah Cheng will pick you up after school."

Gui'er nodded without giving it much thought and got into Sha Yanyao's car. After leaving the Sha residence and driving a little further, Sha Yanyao suddenly asked, "I heard you guys made great progress in your search for Director Shen's treasure in Shanghai, right? Father is very happy."

Gui'er was stunned for a moment. She knew Sha Yanyao was a very capable man, especially in terms of intelligence. He also worked in the secret service now, so she couldn't hide it from him, so she told him the truth: "Actually, we haven't found the place yet. We just know that it's probably in the hands of that Japanese named Mitsui. Director Shen really wanted to surrender to the Japanese at that time, so he gave the treasure to the Japanese for safekeeping. Now we need to continue to investigate where the Japanese hid it. Moreover, Director Shen had made a will at the time, saying that the treasures were to be inherited by his children, so there is also a dispute over inheritance rights. My second brother asked me to come to Nanjing this time to obtain Miss Shen's agency documents so that we can have full power of attorney for this matter."

"Did Miss Shen agree?" Sha Yanyao asked anxiously.

"I told her, and she said she would ask Mrs. Shen."

Sha Yanyao was silent, as if he was thinking about something. Gui'er thought for a moment and then said to him, "From what I heard from my second brother, it seems that after we get the property, we will give them some of it."

"That's for sure, but most of this stuff is ours. Father isn't in his right mind right now, and I don't know how he'll spend it. Sister, you see, we don't even have a place to live in Nanjing. This house may look nice, but it's rented, so it's not a long-term solution. And your nephew is about to be born. I'm actually worried about making a living right now."

Gui'er finally understood that Sha Yanyao also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

In fact, the reason why Guier was so actively involved in this matter was, from a modern perspective, simply because she didn't want her country's antiques to fall into the hands of the Japanese. Some of the treasures here may even be national treasures.

As for how to divide the antiques after they were brought back, she didn't want to get involved. Once interests became involved, it wouldn't be surprising in this era even if someone died.

So Gui'er said, "I remember that we had quite a few gold bars and silver notes in the secret safe at the Ji family. You can tell father about it when the time comes."

Sha Yanyao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Father must be utterly disappointed in me now. My marriage to Miss Shen didn't end well. We spent a fortune on it, and now it's nowhere to be found. My marriage to the Song family's daughter was arranged by Father and Mrs. Song, but I ended up being cuckolded. The whole of Jiangcheng knows about it. I've become a cuckold that everyone can laugh at. Even with this Miss Tian now, I know what kind of person she is and didn't want to accept such a marriage, but Father said that if I don't marry her, he will no longer care about this place."

It was the first time that Gui'er heard Sha Yanyao express his inner thoughts. She didn't feel that Sha Yanyao was opening his heart to her. The alertness she had developed after living in the Marshal's Mansion for many years made her wonder what he was thinking by revealing his true feelings to her like this?

She pretended to be sympathetic, sighed, and said, "Brother, I think Miss Tian might be a bit fierce, but she really likes you. Besides, don't you have Jinbao? Her child is about to be born, and you're going to be a father."

Speaking of children, Sha Yanyao finally smiled a little, but then he sighed and said, "Jinbao is gentle and kind, but with her background, she can't do much, and your sister-in-law will never tolerate her."

Gui'er thought of Jinbao's sobbing complaints and said to Sha Yanyao, "Jinbao is a pitiful person too. She doesn't have much family background and feels insecure wandering around alone. That's why she came to you, sister-in-law. I know she can't tolerate Jinbao, but no matter what, she helped us in the past and now she's pregnant with our child. It's not right to go too far."

She still spoke up for Jinbao, mainly because she was afraid that someone would really die and if Jinbao was forced to death, she would feel guilty about it, after all, it was she who brought her to Sha Mansion.

Sha Yanyao was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll try my best, but judging by the Tian family's intentions, I'm afraid they'll let Jinbao go after she gives birth. You should give her a heads up first, so she doesn't do anything extreme."

Gui'er said worriedly, "Let Jinbao leave? What about her child?"

Sha Yanyao said: "That child is our Sha family's flesh and blood, of course he must stay."

Gui'er didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that Jinbao would definitely not accept this plan. If he really couldn't get over it, what should she do?
