Chapter 97 Ruan Liuzheng: In one word, will you buy it for five million or not?
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Xie Wan Ning casually, a hint of chillness passing through her clear eyes.
She said calmly, "Have you thought it through? If you don't make an offer, I'm leaving."
Xie Wan Ning's breathing became heavy. She took a step forward and put her hand in front of Bai Huanqing, acting like a protector.
She raised her chin high, her eyes showing disdain, "How much do you want? As long as you are willing to sell this painting to us, I will pay you no matter how much."
They had been strolling along the way and only this painting that Ruan Liuzheng liked was unique and eye-catching.
In a few days, when Huanqing goes to Professor Wen's birthday party, if she brings this painting with her, she will definitely win Professor Wen's favor.
Maybe I could even break Professor Wen's rules and get him to make an exception and accept Huanqing as his disciple.
You know, Professor Wen is a famous art master in Yuncheng and even the whole world. If Huanqing is accepted as her disciple, she will no longer be excluded by those people in Yuncheng.
Xie Wan Ning thought of the sufferings that Bai Huanqing had told her about a few days ago, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.
Even though they had only known each other for a short time, Xie Wan Ning had already been moved by Bai Huanqing and truly regarded Bai Huanqing as a friend.
Besides, Huanqing also helped her...
Xie Wan Ning's eyes flashed, and she looked at Ruan Liuzheng with a cold face, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Xie Wanning, who was full of justice, and then turned around and looked at Bai Huanqing behind Xie Wanning with a smile. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to pay for the painting alone, or will you two pay together?"
Xie Wan Ning frowned, her tone slightly puzzled, "Is there any difference?"
Ruan Liuzheng smiled, and looked at Bai Huanqing indifferently with her cold eyes, with a look that held a deeper meaning.
The corners of her lips slightly raised, with a faint smile between her beautiful eyebrows, "Of course, if you don't explain clearly, how can I give you a quote?"
There was a faint smile on Ruan Liuzheng's lips, and a hint of teasing flashed across her pure and unworldly face.
These words were obviously very materialistic, but coming from her mouth, they didn't sound offensive at all.
Instead, I feel it is somewhat natural.
Xie Wan Ning was so angry at her that her breathing stagnated and the disgust in her eyes deepened.
She snorted coldly, "I am enough to deal with a woman like you. There is no need for Huanqing to help, so no matter how much you want, just tell me, I can afford it."
Ruan Liuzheng chuckled. She didn't answer Xie Wanning immediately. Instead, she raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Huanqing with a half-smile, "Bai Huanqing, have you been hiding behind and watching your good sister stand up for you? Don't you show any appreciation at all?"
Bai Huanqing's heart sank.
Looking at the provocation between Ruan Liuzheng's eyebrows, she slowly clenched her palms, and a hint of viciousness flashed across her clear eyes.
She took a deep breath, thought of Xie Wan Ning next to her, and stood up, with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Wan Ning, this is the birthday gift I chose for Professor Wen. How can I let you buy it for me?"
Bai Huanqing walked to Xie Wanning's side with a smile, her clear eyes fixed on Ruan Liuzheng, her tone was unusually gentle, "Sister Liuzheng, please make an offer. Although it is said that a gentleman should not take away what others like, this painting is indeed very useful to me."
"You don't understand painting. This painting would be a waste in your hands. So, I have no choice but to..."
Bai Huanqing stopped talking at the right time. She pursed her lips, and her innocent eyes flickered slightly, the meaning of which was already self-evident.
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her light crimson lips curled up in an arc that seemed like a smile but not a smile.
Her beautiful eyes and eyebrows were even tinged with a hint of playfulness.
She raised her eyes with an indifferent look, and without saying any more unnecessary nonsense, she said directly, "Five million!"
Bai Huanqing and Xie Wanning's eyes widened instantly, with a look of disbelief and surprise.
Although they all come from wealthy families and have a fixed amount of pocket money every month, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands, if they are really asked to take out five million at once to buy a painting, they really cannot afford it.
And Ruan Liuzheng's offer has completely exceeded their budget for today.
The two people who had been so confident just now now looked extremely ugly.
Especially Bai Huanqing!
From the beginning, she never thought that this painting would fall into Ruan Liuzheng's hands, nor did she think that Ruan Liuzheng would really have the money to buy this painting.
Ruan Liuzheng has already divorced Fu Yanci, where did she get the money?
Before coming here, Bai Huanqing had carefully looked at every painting in this exhibition, and only the painting in front of him had the best hope of pleasing Professor Wen.
It will enable her to win Professor Wen’s favor at her birthday party a few days later.
Therefore, she was determined to get this painting.
Bai Huanqing frowned slightly, and a gleam of white light flashed across her clear eyes.
After a long while, she took a deep breath, bit her lip and said, "Sister Liu Zheng, do you really have to do this? In order to retaliate against me, have you even given up the most basic bottom line of being a human being?"
"That's right, you're clearly asking for too much! We all know how much this pair originally cost."
Xie Wan Ning couldn't bear to see Bai Huan Qing being wronged, so she stepped forward and raised her chin high, "We offer the price to give you face, don't push your luck! Otherwise...believe it or not, I can make you get out of the exhibition immediately!"
Ruan Liuzheng tapped her arm with her fingertips, and a chill appeared in her cold eyes.
She was really fed up with their tactics of threatening others when they couldn't win the argument.
She sneered, "You are the ones who said you wanted to buy the painting. I just quoted the ideal price in my mind. What? Is it that you have no money or it is my fault?"
"Or do you think Mr. Wen's paintings are not worth the price?"
Ruan Liuzheng looked coldly at the two people in front of him, his expression showing undisguised contempt and disgust.
Why do I keep meeting people like Bai Huanqing wherever I go? She has already divorced Fu Yanci.
Why did Bai Huanqing keep clinging to her like a fly, even trying to interfere when she attended an art exhibition?
If you don't have money, just say it directly. Why keep jumping around in front of her? Her patience is really running out.
Ruan Liuzheng closed her eyes, then opened them again. She took a slow breath and said, "If you can't afford it, please make way. I have things to do and don't have time to chat with you guys here."
"you!"
Xie Wan Ning walked forward angrily, her beautiful eyes filled with deep anger.
Without even waiting for Bai Huanqing to stop her, she walked straight up to Ruan Liuzheng and said with disdain, "I have been so much a part of my life, and no one has ever dared to describe me as 'poor'."
"You are a mistress who is kept by someone, but you don't know your own identity. Believe it or not..."
Ruan Liuzheng couldn't bear to listen any more.
She looked at the arrogant and disdainful Xie Wan Ning in front of her with indifference, and interrupted coldly, "Do you believe that you can drive me out of Yuncheng with just a flick of your finger? You have already said this, there is no need to repeat it to me a second time."
Bai Huanqing's friend is indeed as stupid and conceited as she is.
Ruan Liuzheng chuckled twice, and her beautiful eyes showed a strong disdain. "If you don't have the ability, you will use your status to pressure others. Only people like you who think highly of yourself will always talk about your background."
"In a word, for five million, will you buy it or not?"
Xie Wan Ning was extremely angry. She said harshly, "I'm telling you, my last name is Xie! Mr. Wen, the organizer of this exhibition, is an old friend of my family."
"So I advise you to stop while you're ahead and sell this painting to us at the original price."
Ruan Liuzheng smiled faintly, with undisguised impatience in her cold eyes.
Her eyes were indifferent and her tone was slightly disdainful. "I don't care what your last name is or what your relationship with Mr. Wen is. Anyway, I am the owner of this painting now, and I can do whatever I want."
"No money means no money, why make excuses?"
Ruan Liuzheng raised the corners of his lips and looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, his eyes indescribably teasing.
Xie Wanning and Bai Huanqing's faces suddenly turned cold.
They stared at Ruan Liuzheng angrily, but no one spoke.
Xie Wan Ning was rich, but she couldn't spend so much money all at once to buy a painting that was of no use to her.
Her mother would certainly not agree.
Besides, if she wanted to use such a large sum of money, she had to get her mother's consent and she couldn't make the decision on her own.
Ruan Liuzheng saw the hesitation of the two clearly. She smiled faintly, turned around and prepared to go to the next exhibition area.
I don't plan to waste any more time on Bai Huanqing and the others.
However, just as she turned around, Bai Huanqing seemed to see something. Her eyes lit up and she trotted quickly in one direction.
Bai Huanqing smiled and took Fu Yanci's arm. Her innocent and charming face was full of joy. She said softly, "Brother Yanci!"
Fu Yanci's eyebrows relaxed, and he looked at Bai Huanqing lovingly, "What were you doing just now? Are there any works you like today?"
"Cousin! You're finally here."
Xie Wan Ning walked up to Fu Yan Ci, as if she had found someone to back her up. She looked at Ruan Liu Zheng viciously, "If you don't come, Huan Qing will be bullied to death by this woman in front of you."
Fu Yanci frowned and looked at Xie Wanning, the cousin he had just met not long ago, and pursed his thin lips slightly.
Ever since Xie Qingcen showed up last time, he has been trying to contact other members of the Xie family, hoping that one day he could enter the Xie family and gain their recognition.
Xie Wanning's family was the only member of the Xie clan that did not reject him but was willing to lend him a helping hand.
So no matter from which perspective, Fu Yanci couldn't just watch Xie Wan Ning being bullied.
Now that we have met, we cannot just stand by and watch.
Fu Yanci's expression turned cold, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction where Xie Wan Ning was coming from. There was a hint of sharpness in his dark eyes.
But when his eyes fell on Ruan Liuzheng, he was stunned for a moment.
Fu Yanci pursed his lips and took two steps forward unconsciously, "Why are you here?"
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes slightly, her eyebrows were indifferent, "What does it have to do with you!"
Fu Yanci's eyes darkened.
His face instantly turned cold, "Do you really have to talk to me like this? Ruan Liuzheng, are you really so heartless?"
The dark eyes stared at Ruan Liuzheng steadily, with an incomprehensible darkness hidden in them.
