The two took a taxi to Gaoxiu Street. It wasn't far, and they arrived in just over ten minutes. However, seeing the crowd bustling inside, Lu Jiaxin chickened out.
Gu Wenfeng said, "Jiaxin, let's first go to the guesthouse to drop off our luggage, then come back!"
Lu Jiaxin didn't want to stay at a guest house. She said, "Brother Gu, let's rent a house instead. It's more convenient that way."
Gu Wenfeng disagreed with renting a house, believing it was unsafe, "There are so many thieves now. What if we go out to do business and a thief breaks into the house? Jiaxin, we still have a painting in our hands!"
The Longevity Painting sold for fifty thousand greenbacks, so even if the remaining antique painting didn't fetch as much, it should still be worth twenty to thirty thousand Hua currency. Renting a house might be cheaper, but staying at a guest house was safer.
