Chapter 70: Crane Longevity Picture
"Master Huo?"
Nan Yu looked at the strange man in the wheelchair at the door.
Half of his right face was covered by a black mask, revealing his thin, light-colored lips. His left face had a three-dimensional outline and an indifferent expression.
He has an innate fierceness that makes people afraid.
He slightly raised his eyelids, looked through the crowd, and set his eyes on Nan Yu.
A strong sense of oppression fell on her head, slowing her breathing.
Li Qingjia's voice continued to be heard in my ears.
"This Huo family master is the head of the Huo family. He rarely shows up and doesn't attend any banquets. He is always mysterious."
"Few people have seen him under the mask. Those who have seen him say that under the right side of his face is a hideous scar that looks like a centipede, which is scarier than a ghost."
Nan Yu looked indifferent as she just stared at him.
The next second, the wheelchair moved and came towards them.
It got closer and closer to her, until the wheelchair stopped at one step away.
The other person was wearing a dark suit with a white wool blanket draped over his legs, and his temperament was cool and noble.
Then he turned his dark eyes and looked at Li Qingjia beside Nan Yu.
His thin lips slightly parted and his voice was cold, like the white snow in the cold winter.
"Happy birthday, Madam Song."
As soon as he finished speaking, the female assistant who followed him came out holding a scroll.
In front of everyone, he unfolded the scroll.
A lifelike picture of cranes celebrating birthday appeared in front of everyone.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
"This is the debut work of the Chinese painting master Guan Nan - "Crane Longevity Picture"!"
"Look at this lively crane standing on the pine tree. It looks like it's alive and is wishing the old lady a happy birthday!"
"This is a work by Guannan ten years ago. I heard that she painted it to celebrate her grandmother's birthday. Later, her grandmother became seriously ill, so she had to sell it for medical treatment."
"Yes, I remember that this painting appeared at an auction that year and was sold for 10 million right after it was launched. Since then, Guannan has become very famous and his paintings are hard to come by."
When Li Qingjia saw this painting, he was so shocked that he stood there, shaking uncontrollably.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "This is the first time I have seen the original work of Master Guannan. I thought I would never see it again in my lifetime."
Huo Juanyan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said casually: "I heard that you have always liked Guannan's paintings. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect."
Li Qingjia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said gratefully, "Master Huo, thank you for your expense."
She quickly called Yu Lan.
"Yu Lan, quickly put the painting away."
Yu Lan, who had just changed her clothes and put on some makeup, widened her eyes when she saw the painting.
She carefully took the painting from her companion.
Everyone's eyes followed the painting, all with envious looks.
Only Nan Yu sat there with a calm expression, as if she was used to it, without a single extra glance.
Huo Junyan noticed that Nan Yu was different from the one he saw in the bar last time.
This time she was quiet and elegant, like a noble princess, with a bit of nonchalant beauty.
As if she noticed his gaze, she raised her head and smiled at him.
Like the peach blossoms blown off by the spring breeze in March, they fell into his calm heart, causing a slight ripple.
Huo Junyan's eyes darkened slightly, and he forced himself to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, then suddenly turned his head to look at Li Qingjia.
"Madam Song, I came here today because I have something to ask you."
Li Qingjia asked doubtfully: "Master Huo, what do you want to ask?"
Huo Juanyan asked directly: "Where is the ghost doctor?"
Li Qingjia looked bewildered and asked, "Who is the ghost doctor?"
Huo Junyan said in a deep voice: "Where is the person who saved your life that night?"
