"Hey, isn't that Old Xie? Come on, Old Xie, come here quickly!" Old man Su pushed through the crowd and rushed out, grabbed Xie Bowen's arm and pulled him inside.
As he pulled her, he said, "I was just thinking about you. I didn't expect to see you so soon. You came just in time. Aren't the college entrance examination results out today? Everyone is comparing their scores here. How about joining in?"
Xie Bowen was watching the excitement with great interest, but he never expected that the fire would suddenly burn himself. He was stunned for a moment.
Then he broke free from Old Man Su's hand and waved it casually, saying, "I'll let it go. You guys can have fun."
Old Man Su's eyes flashed: "It's just a small bet, everyone is joking, just join in the fun."
Before Xie Bowen could refuse, he continued, "I heard from my grandson that your daughter is a top student at Dawnlight, and last month she participated in an international... international..."
Old Man Su couldn't recall the name of the competition, so he simply skipped it and said, "It was just an international competition, and he won first place! That's really impressive!"
"Look, your daughter is so amazing. You shouldn't give her your full support." Old Man Su waved his hand and pointed at the table full of antiques and treasures. "We agreed that no matter who wins, these things will be given to the child with the best test scores. Just like us grandfathers..."
Oh, that's not right.
Their family all has grandchildren, but Xie Bowen's family only has a daughter.
Old Man Su abruptly changed his words and said, "Just think of it as a reward from us uncles to the children."
He encouraged, "Come on, come on, just take any little gadget, let's have fun together."
Xie Bowen glanced at the things on the table.
The items are not bad, but... Xie Bowen, who was free a few days ago and took Xie Yisheng to visit Sheng Shijing's warehouse in Kyoto, said that he really didn't think much of them.
He doesn't even look down on her, let alone his daughter.
Xie Bowen was not interested.
Not to mention his daughter's grades... Xie Bowen shook his head again: "Forget it."
Well, he is a real man and he would not do something like betting with others when he knows he will win.
It’s better not to bully others.
This is what Xie Bowen thought, but Old Man Su didn’t know!
He felt that this old man Xie was too stingy and he couldn't afford to have fun with him!
Shuixie Lanting is considered a very high-end community in Kyoto. People who can live in this community are definitely rich, not to mention expensive.
Especially these retired old people, who doesn’t have some good things in their hands?
Isn't it just a small bet? He has invited you so warmly, but he still won't give in?
Old Man Su was unhappy and his face turned serious. "Isn't it just for fun? Everyone who has children or grandchildren taking the college entrance examination has done so, except you. What's the matter? Do you look down on us and don't want to play with us?"
"Or do you have no confidence in your daughter and dare not gamble?" Old man Su rolled his eyes and asked provocatively.
"That's right." Old Man Su chuckled twice, shaking his head as he recited, "That unlearned Miss Xie. Everyone in the circle knows that the eldest daughter of the Xie family is incompetent at everything she learns, and in the end she ran off to become a star in the entertainment industry. Isn't it because she saw no hope in her studies that she took a different path?"
"I understand, I understand." Old man Su said with a smile.
That's over.
Old Man Jiang and the others looked at each other and could no longer sit still.
Several people stepped forward to pull Old Man Su and Xie Bowen, trying to smooth things over, saying, "Okay, Old Su, you said it yourself, it's just a joke, just for fun. You know Old Xie well, he's participated in this kind of activity before, so don't force him."
Another person chimed in, "Exactly. Hey, it's ten o'clock now, time to start checking your scores. Come on, let's make the phone call."
Someone also whispered to Xie Bowen: "Old Su has that temper, just ignore him."
Xie Bowen's face had already darkened.
Of course he knew what kind of temper Old Man Su had, and this was not the first time he had been instigated and made things difficult for him.
It's just that I'm not prepared to make close friends with the other person, so I don't take those words to heart. When I'm happy, I'll just say a few words back, and when I'm unhappy, I'll just treat him as a fart. Who can really care about a fart, right?
But he's fine with anything, but he won't agree if you say his daughter is not good enough!
"Xie Yi!" Xie Bowen shouted coldly.
"Here!" Xie Yi immediately straightened his back and responded with full energy.
Xie Bowen was satisfied and gave him an approving look before saying, "Go and get the calligraphy that Mr. Lin from my study gave me."
Xie Yi grinned and immediately jumped out like a rabbit.
He looked so excited that if you didn't know him, you would think he had picked up five million.
Tsk, isn’t it just picking up five million?
That pile of things is nothing in the eyes of these old people, they are just liked in their hearts, but if they are really put outside to sell, each one can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, a total of six items!
Although it wasn't given to him, Xie Yi felt that he had contributed and helped, so he should at least get a share, right?
Well, he recently got into a new game and started with full constellations and full refinement!
Xie Yi is ready to go.
Xie Bowen watched Xie Yi leave, and when he turned back to Old Man Su, he snorted coldly: "Didn't you say you wanted to check the scores? Let's get started."
Old Man Su finally reacted and immediately changed his angry expression. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Didn't your grandson go to get Mr. Lin's calligraphy? I haven't seen Mr. Lin's original works yet. It's not too late to appreciate them first and then check them."
"As for the scores, they're there whether you check them or not. There's no need to rush."
That sounds nice, but don’t you just want to identify whether the calligraphy is authentic?
Xie Bowen snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
However, the other old men couldn't help but exchange glances, with some hesitation in their eyes.
As for Mr. Lin's calligraphy, any one of them is worth tens of millions as long as it is still circulating in the world. The value of his masterpiece "Written for You" is so great that it cannot be estimated in terms of money.
They really just want to have some fun and excitement, so there's no need to take out such a valuable treasure, right?
Old Man Jiang came up to Xie Bowen, glanced at Old Man Su, and said in a low voice, "Old Xie, what are you doing? You know what kind of person Old Man Su is, so why bother with him?"
"Even if you're really angry, you can just take something decent. Mr. Lin's calligraphy... this... this is too expensive."
Xie Bowen's eyes were deep: "It's better if it's valuable."
"It's only when it's valuable that people feel sorry for it, right?"
Old Man Jiang: “???”
This old guy is talking so mysteriously now that he can hardly understand what he is saying.
