Now, not only has he caused all this trouble, but he's also discovered that the painting he bought for 20 million is fake. He's lost all face and dignity.
The person who caused all of this was not Jiang Nian, who was standing in the corner at the time.
It was Ji Yuwei.
"Miss Ji, you're the one who's deliberately trying to embarrass me!" Madam Si spat out through gritted teeth.
If it weren't for Ji Yuwei, even if the painting was a fake, it wouldn't have been pointed out in front of so many people.
She wouldn't have embarrassed herself like this before.
He used to affectionately call Ji Yuwei "Yuwei," but now he's full of anger and calls her "Miss Ji."
"Madam Si, it wasn't me, I..."
Ji Yuwei's face turned deathly pale.
She wanted to explain, but what could she say?
If she knew the painting was real or fake, she would never have bothered to find Qi Yi and slap herself in the face.
Ji Yuwei was filled with remorse; she never imagined that she would end up shooting herself in the foot.
Originally, Madam Si liked her so much and even wanted to introduce her to Si Boye, but now she has nothing left.
How can she win back Madam Si's favor?
"……alright!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Old Master Si spoke up authoritatively, "What happened tonight was my fault for not investigating properly before calling everyone here, making us a laughingstock."
As soon as Old Master Si spoke, everyone chimed in and tried to smooth things over.
"Not at all, it's just that the forgers are too clever."
"Exactly, apart from professionals, how can we tell the difference?"
"Mrs. Si, you must not let the person who sold you the fake painting get away with it."
"Regardless, we've learned a lot today, and we should thank you, Elder Si..."
Only then was the banquet able to continue.
As the crowd dispersed, Qi Yi immediately started chattering away next to Jiang Nian, asking her a series of questions.
It was as if they were afraid Jiang Nian would disappear again, and they didn't want to take their eyes off her for even a moment.
"Senior sister, when did you return to China, and when did you come to Jiangcheng?"
Why can't I find you using your old contact information? What are your phone number and WeChat ID now?
"Senior sister, where are you staying now? If you don't have a place to stay, come stay at my place, I'll take care of you."
The boy, who was previously aloof and arrogant in front of others, spoke with a childlike manner in front of Jiang Nian.
With sharp little tiger teeth, bright, sparkling eyes, and an irresistible clinginess, she sometimes speaks in a spoiled, affectionate tone.
But this handsome face is so endearing that you can't help but want to agree to anything it says.
Meanwhile, as Old Master Si watched the girl from afar, he became more and more satisfied.
Niannian, this child is first-rate in terms of character, temperament, and talent.
However, upon closer inspection of Song Sichen and Qi Yi beside Jiang Nian, both the man and the boy possessed exceptionally outstanding looks and demeanor. They were both staring intently at the girl.
Old Master Si's sense of crisis immediately arose.
I have no idea how far my grandson has gone in pursuing this girl. She's incredibly popular!
The young man from the Song family alone is not much worse off than my grandson, and he has a better temper.
And here comes another junior brother with whom I have an old friendship and who even studied under the same master; he can even act cute.
What can your own grandson do?
He has only a few pennies and a terrible temper.
The more Old Master Si thought about it, the more restless he became.
In crucial moments, we still have to rely on him, the grandfather. Without hesitation, he walked over to Old Master Ji.
He appeared nonchalant, but was actually full of his own thoughts: "Old Ji, what's your opinion on that thing we talked about last time?"
