Chapter 1509 - The Wen Yan Couple (44)

The old saying was right. No matter how impressive a woman was, she would become shy and gentle when she met the man she liked.

A few days ago, Chu Chu had vowed that love at first sight would never happen to her. In the end, it happened today. Life was full of surprises.

In this auction, regardless of whether Tang Yin’s painting was real or fake, the standards were really high. In the following auction, the price of the antiques did not exceed the 700 million yuan for the “Tiger Mountain Painting”, but the highest bid was still 500 million yuan.

Dongfang Chu and Wen Ruoshui, the two antique idiots, did not dare to bid casually anymore. Instead of buying something here, they might as well find someone they knew to help them buy it. At least they could confirm the authenticity.

If a fake was bought in this place, who would they find to reason with?

A painting of “Creek Mountain Autumn Painting” by Emperor Huizong of Song, appeared at the auction. They wanted to bid for it, but they did not dare to, afraid that they would buy fake goods again.

“He bought it.” Dongfang Chu pulled Wen Ruoshui and looked at the man sitting in the front row worriedly. “What if it’s a fake? Can you think of a way to inform him?”

“You haven’t even met him yet, and you’re already helping him feel sorry for his money?” Wen Ruoshui gave her a hard slap and teased her.

“You only know how to make fun of me.” Dongfang Chu pretended to be angry and indignant. “It’s a waste of time to come to such an auction. Tell me, isn’t their boss afraid of ruining his reputation? How would he dare sell fake goods?”

“Perhaps their boss doesn’t know that it’s fake.” Wen Ruoshui felt that such a high-end auction had been appraised by the top antique artists in China. It couldn’t be fake on purpose.

That painting should have been an accident. Besides Huo Ci, no one present had recognized that it was fake. No one knew how he had recognized it at first glance.

Dongfang Chu was still worried that the painting was fake. That person had been cheated of his money to buy a fake. However, she did not even know him, let alone warn him.

In the end, she saw him bid 80 million for the painting.

Huo Ci gave him a puzzled look. Was this person crazy? If he wanted it, he could have kept it. He even bought paintings at his own auction.

Nangong Lengyu did not know about antique calligraphy and paintings, but Huo Ci seemed to know a lot about them. She did not know if he really knew or was pretending to know. She asked, “There won’t be any fake goods after this?”

Huo Ci nodded. “They’re all authentic.”

Nangong Lengyu pouted, not believing him. “How do you know that Tang Yin’s painting is fake?”

Huo Ci pointed at his eyes and smiled arrogantly. “I have sharp eyes. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”

How did he know? Of course, he had seen it before. The real work was with Grandpa. If Grandpa said that he was the second-best collector in China, no one would dare say they were number one.

Grandpa kept a low profile and would not show off his collection. Not many people in China knew what he had collected.

He had grown up among antiques and had seen many real things. He could tell what was real and what was fake with one look.

When the auction ended…

Dongfang Chu and Wen Ruoshui had just gotten up when they were stopped.

A person handed them an exquisite long wooden box and said respectfully, “This is a gift from our master to the two ladies. I hope you like it.”

Dongfang Chu already had a bold guess in her heart. She subconsciously looked at the VIP seats. The man had already left.

Wen Ruoshui looked at her in a daze, as if her soul had been stolen. She looked at the person in front of her. “Sorry, we can’t accept it.”

They could not accept anything from strangers, no matter what it was.

“Sir said that meeting is fate. The two of you don’t have to feel burdened.” The man looked sincere.

Wen Ruoshui wanted to say something, but she was suddenly interrupted.

“This is his kind intention. Second Sister-in-law, you can keep it!” Huo Ci took the long wooden box with interest and opened it. It was indeed the Creek Mountain Autumn Painting.

The man who had sent the painting had completed his mission and left. In a moment, he disappeared. Dongfang Chu could not find him even if she wanted to.

“Why would he give you a painting?” Nangong Lengyu glared at Huo Ci ferociously. He was being nosy. Who told him to accept it? “If that guy has evil intentions, just you wait.”

“What do you mean by harboring evil intentions?” Huo Ci smiled and drawled slyly. “What other reason could there be for a man to give a woman a gift? A hero can’t resist a beauty!”

Dongfang Chu’s face flushed. “Stop spouting nonsense.”

“What else could it be?” Huo Ci knew a lot about men.

That guy must have taken a liking to one of them. However, if he had taken a liking to Second Sister-in-law, he would definitely dig out his eyes and chop off his hands.

“You know him, right?” Wen Ruoshui looked at Huo Ci but did not take the painting. “Return this to him. No matter what the reason is, we can’t take it.”

“Don’t mind me but didn’t you come to bid on a painting? It came knocking on your door and you didn’t want it.” Upon seeing Dongfang Chu’s red face, Huo Ci could guess what was going on.

So that guy had taken a liking to Dongfang Chu. It was very possible. To be honest, she was also a great beauty and could be on par with Second Sister-in-law.

“If you don’t want to, we’ll do it by ourselves.” Wen Ruoshui actually had other ideas in her heart. If they went to return it themselves, Chu Chu could use this opportunity to see that man. “Give us his contact details.”

“I don’t. I don’t know him.” Huo Ci was telling the truth.

Nangong Lengyu kicked his calf.

“You’re committing murder!” Huo Ci jumped up in pain, his handsome face twisting exaggeratedly. “I really don’t know him.”

Big Brother could not find any specific information about that guy. He only took a look at the information. What could he know? This pretty boy was getting more and more greedy. He would punish him when he got back.

Nangong Lengyu grabbed his collar and approached him. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she asked, “What do you want?”

That bastard Huo Ci would not act unless he knew success was certain. If she did not give him benefits, he would not easily do good deeds and help others. He was too hateful.

“Exfoliate my skin. One month.” Huo Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and leaned close to her ear to breathe.

Nangong Lengyu’s body suddenly stiffened as she gritted her teeth in anger. “Scram!”

Huo Ci left elegantly and neatly. He did not know why he had such a big reaction at the mention of this. They were all men, so what was wrong with taking a shower together? Perhaps he felt that he was too young and was afraid of hurting his dignity by competing with him?

Upon seeing him leave just like that, Nangong Lengyu wished she could just kill him. She could not do that either, so she could only compromise. She ran two steps and chased after him. She grabbed his arm and forced out a few words through gritted teeth. “I’ll wash your feet.”
