Imperial Treasure-Chapter 742 - 454: Hua Sha’s Reunion_2

So without connections, you’re absolutely nowhere.

"Come on now, let’s purchase the courtyard first, and also, why haven’t you started moving the books yet?" Flower Demon slapped her on the head, and a group of people began to seriously help Sui Yi move house. Once everything was sorted out, they looked over the furnishings in the various rooms. The major items were all ready, but there was one significant issue.

"Where’s the bed? The most important bed, where did it go!" Gong Jiu glared, her outburst causing Sui Yi to press her temples involuntarily, "Aside from the main house, we have yet to purchase them"

It was only in these past few days that she returned to Capital City. In the past, Su Zimu helped with the house affairs, and Lin Yun was too busy with company matters to attend to them, especially the daily necessities. Su Zimu couldn’t decide everything by himself, so there were still voids to fill...

"What are we waiting for, let’s go! Fill up all these thirty-five rooms," Gong Jiu and her group weren’t short of money, and it had been a long time since they gathered together. Fueled by the festive mood of moving into a new house with Sui Yi, the group headed to the department store to buy household goods, creating quite a lively scene.

They bought quite a few mattresses and other things, for thirty-five rooms no less – just the beds amounted to over two hundred thousand, not to mention the bedding and the like. Gong Jiu took the lead, swiped her card, and just like that, five hundred thousand was gone.

But everyone knew she was the wealthiest among them, her relationship with Sui Yi was also extraordinary. It wasn’t a matter of tens of thousands; she could spend millions without batting an eye...

The department store, having landed such a big order and recognizing Sui Yi and Gong Jiu, faces that adorned financial magazine covers, naturally were very attentive and thorough, arranging for the goods to be delivered promptly and the after-sales service completed...

As for helpers around the house, they certainly were essential. Through a reliable domestic service agency, they also hired a dozen people...

A housewarming celebration is always important in China. Although Sui Yi only notified a few acquaintances, by the evening, Tang Hanyan arrived with Luo Feng, followed by Pu Qinghan and then Mo Ke. Fu Ling and the Old Master also came, and then Cao Ling, Xiao Xianting joined as well.

Of course, people like Fu Ling came uninvited.

Gong Jiu muttered to herself that these people sure had quick intelligence gathering, but with so many people present, the small-scale community meal originally prepared just wasn’t suitable, and then it turned into...

Hot pot!

Alright, mostly because Luo Feng, who was in the food industry, suggested this – after all, these people were used to high-end dining, and hot pot, being down-to-earth and suited for groups, was quite to their liking.

Alright, probably few people could imagine Tang Hanyan, Fu Ling, and Cao Ling, such female magnates and ladies of high society, sitting around a table eating hot pot with chopsticks in their hands...

Of course, all these guests brought gifts. In Gong Jiu’s words, this table of hot pot ingredients paid for itself...

During the meal, business matters were deliberately avoided by everyone present. What went unnoticed was the subtle exchange of glances between the Old Master and Sui Yi.

In fact, Sui Yi was quite surprised by the Old Master’s initiative to visit. Midway through the meal, the two stepped into the glasshouse in the garden. Sui Yi turned on the heating, and they sat facing each other.

"Miss Sui must really want to kill me now," he said.

Sui Yi looked at him and said nothing.

He laughed, "But you can’t kill me... because only I have the antidote to the poison in Yi’s body..."

Sui Yi still didn’t speak, simply steeping tea with hot water, putting on the lid. After a while, she finally said, "Is that the reason you came here?"

"Not entirely... I think Yi is a point of conflict between us, but also a potential opportunity for cooperation..."

"The international jade market?"

"No," the Old Master shook his head, smiling, "You and I should both understand that for people like us, money is but the icing on the cake and necessary capital. There are no dazzling civilizations or treasures left in this world that could move our hearts..."

He took the tea Sui Yi passed to him and took a sip, "In ten days, the Hua Sha evening party in the United Kingdom, I await your presence."

He stood up and left.

Sui Yi watched him go... leave the house.

After a while, Cao Ling walked in and said lightly, "I originally thought Miss Sui had already decided to kill this man~~"

Her gaze fell on the tea, as if to suggest why didn’t you poison him...

Sui Yi shook her head, "It’s not time yet..."

Poisoning, after all, is a last resort..

"So, you want to wait for the right moment to strike at the root?" Cao Ling moved closer and sat down grace.

Sui Yi gave her a side glance, "Is Miss Cao here for the Imperial Guards, or for the Cao Family?"

"Do you think I belong to the Imperial Guards?" Cao Ling’s eyes flashed, her smile radiant.
