Chapter 142 - A Complete Victory of a Line

Xu Shaoning was considered one of the top figures in Qingyang. There were only a few people who didn't know him.

There were also some of them who had seen them fight at Wang Han's party the last time. They knew some of the grudges between the two of them, so their eyes were now fixed on Zhang Xiaoloong.

The reason why men were in the limelight was not because of their face, but because of their women.

A beautiful woman like Chen Yaru would naturally make a man do crazy things. It was very easy to understand why Xu Shaoning would make things difficult for Zhang Xiaoloong.

However, no one knew if Zhang Xiaoloong would accept this challenge.

Last time at the party, he exposed Xu Shaoning in public and tried to give a “fake jade” to Chen Yaru, which made her lose face.

This time, Xu Shaoning took the initiative to throw out an invitation. Obviously, he had come prepared. If Zhang Xiaoloong did not stand out, he would definitely lose the limelight, but if he really stood out, he might not get any good result.

Chen Yaru also broke out in a cold sweat for Zhang Xiaoloong. She knew Xu Shaoning's character too well. The other party was a person who would definitely seek revenge. After what happened last time, it had been so long. He must have been waiting for a suitable opportunity, and now he was even more unwilling to vent his anger. He definitely wouldn't let it go.

Zhang Xiaoloong was very calm. He was just about to walk out when... He noticed that his sleeves were tightly grabbed and smiled as he patted the back of Yaru's hand. He then calmly walked out. “Since Young Master Xu invited me, I will have a look. But I am not good at these things. If you are not sure, don't laugh at me.”

“Hehe, if I don't understand, I'll just stay here obediently. I won't go out and make a fool of myself.” It seemed like Wang Changyu was born to make sarcastic remarks.

Xu Shaoning acted as if he did not hear this. He slowly opened the box and took out a painting. Foll0w current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

He waved his hand slightly and two people walked over from behind. One of them grabbed the painting and unfolded it completely.

“This painting is called the ancient painting of Pine Crane. It was drawn by a painter at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although this painter isn't very famous, his painting skills are superb. ” Xu Shaoning pointed at the painting and introduced it, “I bought this from the Qi Shi Auction House. The final price was about a million. Mr. Zhang, come and see if it's real or fake. “

“Young Master Xu, you are really hard to help others. You can even use fire to appraise the jade. But if this calligraphy and painting were to be burned, there would be nothing left. Regardless of whether it was the real one or the fake one, in the end, it would all be a pile of ashes. However, apart from appraising it this way, do you think he knows any other techniques? ” Wang Changyu immediately continued to mock him.

Zhang Xiaoloong walked forward and completely ignored their conversation. He picked up a magnifying glass from the tray and looked at it from left to right, as if he was really studying something.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Zhang Xiaoloong again, but he did not expect that the other party would say “the real thing this time” and make him faint from anger.

As for how the rest of the people praised this painting, he did not take it to heart at all.

In the crowd, Chen Yaru leaned close to Zhang Xiaoloong and asked in a low voice, “Can you really tell if that thing is real or fake?”

“The thing that came out of the Qi Shi Auction House should be real, right?” Zhang Xiaoloong laughed. “Anyway, it was Xu Shaoning who paid for it, and it was Old Man Li who gave it to us. It has nothing to do with us even if it is fake.”

Chen Yaru chuckled. She knew that he had said that intentionally, but she had indeed vented her anger just now.

If Zhang Xiaoloong really said that the painting was fake, who knew how many tricks Xu Shaoning had prepared to slap Zhang Xiaoloong in the face?

But now, he could only stand there and not say a word. He was probably immersed in the tragic memory of the big green goose.

While Zhang Xiaoloong and Chen Yaru were whispering, the guests on the other side had already presented their gifts one after another.

Some of them were packaged, while others would open and show on the spot. Without a doubt, none of them could compare to Xu Shaoning's antique calligraphy and painting.

The people present were all rich people. They came to support Lee Donghua for the sake of giving him face. However, if they were to offer a million to celebrate the old man's birthday, they might not receive any returns. Not everyone was willing to do so.

Therefore, most of these gifts were only a token of appreciation. Regardless of whether it was Lee Donghua or the old man of the Lee family, they did not seem to care about it. What they valued was only a token of appreciation.

In fact, Xu Shaoning had made a name for himself. After all, the gifts he prepared were very suitable for the old man. In terms of value, they were far more valuable than others. Naturally, they were the best among the gifts.

“Zhang Xiaoloong, you only went to evaluate other people's gifts. Why didn't you take out anything? Don't tell me you came with two hands and a mouth? That would be a joke. ” Without needing Xu Shaoning to look at him, Wang Changyu had already begun his attack.

“Xiaoloong's gift has been delivered to me a long time ago.” The old man of the Lee family could also tell that these two young men from the Wang Family and Xu Family... It was just that they were not on good terms with Zhang Xiaoloong, but in this kind of situation. He didn't want to say anything, so he just helped Zhang Xiaoloong get out of the situation. “The pot of orchids that the old man mentioned just now was given to me by Zhang Xiaoloong. Hehe, that's a treasure that can only be chanced upon by luck.”

“Orchids? Didn't you buy that?” Wang Changyu asked.

“That's right. How can the things sold to the old man be a gift?” Xu Shaoning also asked.
