Having received the signal from Mengmeng, Gu Shiyu took back the small gourd and asked the stall owner, "How much is this gourd?"

The stall owner listened, his eyes never leaving the screen, "Three thousand."

A gourd the size of a palm sold for three thousand.

Passersby immediately gathered around out of curiosity, eager to see Gu Shiyu haggle with the stall owner.

"Mengmeng, what do you think?" Gu Shiyu asked Mengmeng.

Mengmeng thought about it seriously.

My brother just told me not to tell anyone what she sensed.

But she didn't know how much this thing was worth!

This really worried her.

However, the older the item, the more expensive it should be.

Mengmeng met Gu Shiyu's gaze and hesitated before speaking, "It should be possible."

"oops!"

Suddenly, a passerby who had come to join the fun squeezed out from the crowd.

The man's shout drew everyone's attention.

"This little gourd isn't worth three thousand. He's just trying to fool you two because you're kids," the man commented, pointing at the gourd in Gu Shiyu's hand.

As Mengmeng listened, she thought to herself: But the gourd is from a very ancient period, so it should be more expensive than three thousand!

Unfortunately, Gu Shiyu had just reminded her not to describe what she had seen. Otherwise, she would definitely have refuted the man in front of her.

The man sensed Mengmeng's gaze, lowered his head, and said gently, "Little girl, I often come here to hunt for treasures. I can tell you just arrived today, and everything is new and exciting. But this thing really isn't worth three thousand, don't buy it."

After saying that, he stepped forward to take the gourd from Gu Shiyu's hand.

They're all in Gu Shiyu's hands; there's no way anyone else could take them away.

Gu Shiyu dodged the man's touch and said, "Thank you for your kind reminder, but we are quite interested in this gourd."

At this point, the shop owner, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up.

"Go away, go away. If you're not buying, don't bother others." The shop owner put his phone back in his pocket, waved his arm, and shooed the man away.

Faced with the shop owner's rude attitude, the man's face instantly fell.

"I am dissatisfied, but I did not lie to the child." The man fiercely reached out and snatched the gourd from Gu Shiyu's hand.

The shop owner immediately backed down when he saw his aggressive demeanor.

After all, the item isn't genuine, and if the police get involved, he'll be the one who suffers.

"You want to buy this gourd?" the shopkeeper asked, feigning suspicion.

Upon hearing this, the man immediately threw the gourd onto the stall, saying, "I wouldn't take this worthless thing even if it were given to me for free!"

After saying that, he reached out and took Gu Shiyu's hand, trying to persuade him not to buy the gourd.

Mengmeng, however, picked up the little gourd again when no one was paying attention.

"Did you hurt yourself?" Mengmeng asked to herself as she looked at the gourd.

The sight of her carefully tending to the little gourd caught the attention of the passersby gathered at the entrance, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces as they began to discuss it.

"This child really likes this worthless gourd!"

"Look at their clothes, they're typical rich kids. For them, something they like only costs three thousand yuan, that's cheap, not expensive."

"It looks familiar, like I've seen it on the news before."

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

At this moment, someone started scrolling through their phone. When they finally found a photo of the Gu family's press conference, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd.

"They are the renowned family-oriented children!"

"No wonder, I was wondering where I'd seen this before."

Hearing the whispers outside the door, Mengmeng quickly ran up and grabbed Gu Shiyu's arm, "Brother~"

Because of their identities, more and more people gathered at the entrance to watch. Some even took out their phones to take pictures of them and post them online.

Regarding Mengmeng's identity, she only appeared at the press conference and has not appeared in the public eye since. Now, she has appeared in the antique market, and many people, upon hearing the news, rushed over to see what kind of child could be adopted by the Gu family and loved as their own daughter.

Seeing the increasing number of vehicles at the entrance of the antique market, Gu Shiyu didn't have time to argue with the man in front of him any longer. He took out three thousand yuan and asked the stall owner, "Are you sure it's three thousand?"

Upon seeing the money, the stall owner's eyes widened. His head throbbed like a perpetual motion machine, repeatedly nodding, "Yes, yes, yes."

Gu Shiyu picked up the gourd and placed the money on the stall. Under the gaze of everyone, he took Mengmeng's hand and walked out.

A large number of reporters are rushing to the exit.

"Brother~" Mengmeng held Gu Shiyu's hand tightly.

Gu Shiyu lowered his head, shielding Mengmeng against his inner side. He turned slightly to the side, avoiding the gaze of the reporters approaching.

"Quick, it's just ahead."

"We must get the headline this time."

Hearing the sound flash by, Gu Shiyu pulled Mengmeng along and quickened his pace toward the exit.

Upon reaching the exit, it wasn't just reporters anymore. There were also some netizens who had seen the pictures online and rushed over.

Their car was right across the street. When Mengmeng saw this, she quickly hid behind Gu Shiyu.

"Don't be afraid, your brother will take you away from here safely." Gu Shiyu took off his coat and draped it over Mengmeng. He looked at a coffee shop and led Mengmeng to the side.

Everyone assumed they were still inside, and few people paid much attention to the entrance.

Standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, Gu Shiyu sat on a chair outside with Mengmeng.

He took out his phone and contacted the driver, Lao Zhang.

A few minutes later, Lao Zhang drove his car to the entrance of the coffee shop.

“Brother, Uncle Zhang is here!” Mengmeng shook Gu Shiyu’s arm.

Turning his gaze back, Gu Shiyu looked at Old Zhang's position and raised his hand in response.

When Old Zhang saw Gu Shiyu, he jogged over to him.

"Master."

"Uncle Zhang, we need to leave quickly, or they'll find us soon."

When Lao Zhang was outside, he was puzzled as to why so many people and reporters had suddenly flooded into the antique market.

Now I understand, they came for them.

Old Zhang, already very experienced, bent down and took a black umbrella from the car, quickly covering Gu Shiyu and Mengmeng's heads.

With the black umbrella providing cover, outsiders could no longer see them.

"Young Master Gu! It's Young Master Gu!"

Exclamations erupted from inside the coffee shop, and people immediately dropped their coffees and rushed out.

Old Zhang gave Gu Shiyu a push and quickly closed the car door.

Just as he was about to walk to the driver's seat, the people surrounded the car and pushed him out, unable to get close to it.

"elder brother!"

The lathe was covered in palms, and those people had their mouths agape, like zombies.
