"Huode is here. Nini is ignorant, so don't bother with her. Who is this?" asked Qin Fang, the leader's daughter-in-law.
She looked at Xiangnan with scrutiny in her eyes, thinking that this woman was much worse than her Nini. Why did Huod bring such a woman with him?
"My wife is Xiangnan, daughter-in-law, and this is Aunt Qin, the leader's daughter-in-law." Huo De introduced Xiangnan.
Xiangnan smiled and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Qin."
Qin Fang nodded and asked Huo De curiously, "Why haven't I heard that you got married? When did you get married? Did Jinghai know about it?"
"We've only obtained the certificate for now. Jinghai should know about it." It's been over a month and he should know what he needs to know.
He couldn't hide his marriage, and the marriage report would definitely be known to Jinghai's family.
He didn't intend to hide it, he just didn't have time to tell them.
Aunt Qin said in surprise: "Didn't you discuss your marriage with Jinghai before? You kid..."
What is this child's status! How can marriage be so casual? Even if she knew that her daughter Nini liked Huo De, she would not dare to ask Nini to marry Xiangnan.
She mentioned it once and was scolded by her father-in-law.
It is impossible for Nini to marry into such a wealthy family, and even if she is forced into it, she will still be unhappy.
Nini can't get married. This girl doesn't look very powerful. How can she get married?
Qin Fang was not convinced and her expression faded a little.
"Come in quickly, why are you still standing outside?" The leader's voice came from inside, and Huo De hurriedly pulled Xiang Nan inside.
When I walked into the living room, I found that the entire living room was full of people sitting on the sofa and chairs.
Everyone looked at Huo De, then looked at Nan in confusion. Where did this woman come from?
The leader waved to Hood: "Come here, sit here." He patted the empty seat next to him.
Some people were smart enough to give up their seats.
Huo pulled Xiangnan and saluted the leader: "Hello, leader!"
Xiangnan followed and said, "Hello, leader."
Leader Ji glanced at Xiangnan and asked, "Is this your wife?"
Huo De nodded and said, "This is my wife Xiangnan. She has a gift for you."
Xiangnan was stunned for a moment and blinked at Huo De. What was he doing? Wasn't it said that the painting was painted by a mysterious painter? Why did he ask her to deliver it?
Xiangnan whispered, "Don't say I drew it, I copied it."
Hodder: “Don’t say.”
Xiangnan handed the scroll in his hand to Chief Ji openly and said, "This is a painting that my husband has searched for everywhere. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Chief Ji smiled and said, "I knew this guy would give me a painting, but I have high standards. If it's not a good painting, I won't accept it."
"Please take a look first. If you don't like it, we will find another one for you!" Xiangnan said.
Chief Ji took it and opened it with his own hands. Xiangnan helped him hold the other side and stepped back. A three-meter-long landscape painting appeared before his eyes, making people feel as if they were among the mountains and rivers.
Chief Ji's eyes widened: "Where did you get this? This painting is amazing. How can it be so artistic and make people feel like they are there?"
The people sitting in the living room next to him immediately came over and asked: "This must have been painted by some master, but why haven't I heard of him?"
"This painting must be worth at least tens of millions. Captain Huo is really kind to our old leader and is very generous with his gifts."
"The old leader is happy. This is his favorite thing. Captain Huo is so grateful for this."
Chief Ji really liked the painting, but the problem was that he also thought it was quite valuable, and he couldn't accept expensive things.
"Huode, this painting is really good, but I can't accept it." Chief Ji couldn't let it go and stared at the painting without moving his eyes.
I can’t take it, but it’s good for satisfying my eyes.
Xiangnan said with a smile: "Chief, don't worry about taking it. This painting is not worth much."
Chief Ji glared at her and said, "You little girl, you don't understand anything. What are you talking about here..."
"That's right." Some people had long disliked Xiang Nan. Everyone knew that Chief Ji had a prince from a famous family in Jinghai under his command. The prince was very old and still unmarried. Everyone wanted Chief Ji to act as a matchmaker and help him marry into a famous family.
As a result... Captain Huo came this time with his unknown wife, who didn't look that powerful, except that she was a little pretty.
No one in this circle has ever heard of this name, nor has anyone heard of a Xiang family in the Beijing circle.
"If you don't understand, don't speak. You say such a good painting is worthless. If you don't want to say anything, just shut up. You are really embarrassing Captain Huo."
"Where did Captain Huo find his wife? He's lying with his eyes open. As a leader, don't you understand painting? It's obvious that this painting is expensive."
"She said such a good painting is not worth much. Could she be a country bumpkin? I heard that Captain Huo lived in the countryside when he was very young."
"What a shame for a country bumpkin. I don't know what Captain Huo was thinking, marrying such an unknown woman."
Xiangnan ignored them and said to the chief with a smile: "Chief, believe me, I got this painting, it's really worthless."
"If you say it's worthless, then it's worthless. You're not saying it's worthless just because I'm not spending your money. My grandfather has lived an upright life and never accepted expensive gifts. You say it's worthless but you let him accept such an expensive gift. Do you want to ruin his reputation in his later years?" Ji Nini raised her voice and shouted.
Others only dared to whisper, but seeing how she was being so disrespectful to Xiang Nan, they chimed in, saying, "Yes, Chief Ji has been honest his entire life. What does this woman want?"
"This painting is just not valuable. My wife got it herself. Doesn't she know whether it's valuable or not? You think it's valuable because you are ignorant." Huo De spoke coldly, his icy aura fully open, making people feel his anger.
"Xiao Huo, don't say that on purpose to get me to buy this painting. I can still see its value. This painting will sell for at least a million."
Chief Ji smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know you have the intention, but I really can't accept it because it's so valuable. I'm satisfied just by seeing it."
Xiangnan said: "Commander, you also said how much this painting would be worth if it was sold, but if it is not sold, it will just be an ordinary painting. This painting is not a commodity in the first place.
It’s a birthday gift from the artist.”
"Who is the painter? Do I know him? If I don't know him, why would he paint for me as a birthday gift? If it's a favor from Xiao Huo, then it must have cost a lot of money.
Just let me put it in the study and look at it for a few days."
"Leader, this painting didn't cost any favors or money. At most, it cost the painting tools. The person who painted it is right in front of you. If she says it's not valuable, then it's not valuable."
Chief Ji asked in confusion: "Xiao Huo, what do you mean by this? Could it be that this painting was painted by Xiangnan?"
