Chapter 144 What are you pretending to be?
"Aunt Cui, you seem to know the origin of this painting?"
Pei Yuzhi suddenly turned the conversation to her again.
Cui Xinyue was not an ordinary person after all. She quickly calmed down, passed Sun Yunyu's puzzled eyes, and met her father's warning eyes.
...
She felt so wronged.
Why did her father look at her the same way as Pei Yuzhi?
Did her father also think that she would lose her temper in public and make a fool of herself?
"Grandpa, you know, my mother only likes to appreciate. For such antiques, it still takes professionals to explain."
Huo Qiao said with a smile, and then glared at Pei Yuzhi.
Pei Yuzhi was startled, and then touched his nose embarrassedly.
It seemed too fierce to his mother-in-law.
Cui Xinyue didn't expect Huo Qiao to help her out, and her heart, which had been cold for a long time, got a breath of relief.
Especially, Pei Yuzhi seemed to be suppressed by Huo Qiao.
After being glared at, Pei Yuzhi dared not say anything more, as if she had surpassed Sun Yunyu.
She straightened her slender and beautiful neck, pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "Xiao Qiao is right, Yunyu, you should explain it to your father as soon as possible."
Huo Qiao twitched his lips and thought: [She doesn't think I'm helping her out, right? I'm just afraid that she will be provoked and have an embarrassing quarrel with Pei Yuzhi. ]
Pei Yuzhi smiled and thought Huo Qiao was very cute.
At this time, the whole scroll has been displayed in front of everyone.
Although it can be seen at a glance that this painting is an old object, it is very well preserved.
It was a landscape painting, with misty rain and hazy mountains. Under a big tree in the lower right corner of the painting, there were two old men wearing straw raincoats, drinking tea and playing chess.
"Oh? Is this the work of Master Wei Yu?" Old Master Cui slowly stood up, his eyes full of surprise, "Haha, why is Old Man Sun so generous this time? He actually gave me this painting? Quick, go get my glasses!"
Old Master Cui was very interested, and the guests also focused their curious eyes on the painting.
Master Wei Yu, everyone present knew him. This master was good at painting figures, and the price of his paintings was very high. At an overseas auction, a painting was once sold for a nine-digit price.
The main reason was that too few of the master's works were left, and each was worth a fortune.
Old Man Sun? Who was he?
Such a generous gift of Master Wei Yu's work.
No one in the venue doubted the authenticity of the painting. Although Master Cui had been involved in fighting and killing, he was very culturally educated.
Not to mention that he had been cultivating himself and studying ancient Chinese culture for more than 20 years.
He knew antiques and ancient paintings like the back of his hand.
"You are right. My father has always been stingy and cherishes Master Wei Yu's words very much. Especially when he heard that you like Master Wei Yu recently, he was reluctant to show it to you. This time, it was Yu Zhi who joked that his grandfather was too stingy. My father was embarrassed and reluctantly asked me to bring the painting to you."
Sun Yunyu was very good at speaking. After a string of words, everyone knew that Master Cui had a very good relationship with her father.
Of course, Master Cui only had a look on his face, and finally gave Pei Yuzhi a look.
However, her son, who was always smart, didn't respond to her words and said a few flattering words.
Although Sun Yunyu felt it was a pity, she didn't force it.
She wanted her son and Huo Qiao's relationship to be taken to the next level, but young people have their own ideas, and she was afraid that she couldn't control it.
Pei Xinyan sneered on the side. His silly wife probably didn't know that her good son and Huo Qiao had been together for a long time.
"Oh? I'm not stingy, old man. I'll ask someone to take him to my warehouse to pick out a treasure next time. It's a meeting gift from me."
Old Master Cui's tone was polite, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows, just staring at the painting.
At this time, Pei Yuzhi said respectfully: "Thank you, grandpa."
Grandpa?
The guests around looked at each other in bewilderment.
Where did this ignorant brat come from, thinking that he could become a relative by giving a painting as a gift?
Only those who knew the secret could not help but twitch their lips.
Especially Old Man Cui.
He seemed to have admired the painting enough, and finally straightened up, casting his slightly cloudy but very energetic eyes on Pei Yuzhi.
Pei Yuzhi stood neither humble nor arrogant, looking at him.
Huo Qiao moved his lips to say something, but felt that it was better for him not to speak now.
Everyone in the family knew about his relationship with Pei Yuzhi, and the old man was clearly pretending to be ignorant, because he was angry that he did not take Pei Yuzhi back and let the old man "admonish".
Now, in front of everyone, Pei Yuzhi followed him and called "Grandpa", which almost poked the old man's lungs.
Huo Qiao felt torn.
[Grandpa cares most about his reputation. He just thinks that he and his uncle already know about the relationship between Yuzhi and me, but Yuzhi's parents don't know yet. It's because Yuzhi doesn't value me enough.]
[...After this incident where Pei Yuzhi, this bastard, is making trouble, if Grandpa embarrasses him in public, I won't speak up for him!]
Pei Yuzhi's eyes moved slightly. So that's what happened.
Although Huo Qiao scolded Pei Yuzhi in his heart, he still couldn't bear to see him being wronged in public.
"Grandpa, he..."
"But I don't want the treasures in your warehouse. Your other treasures..."
"Pei Yuzhi, what nonsense are you talking about!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Huo Qiao guessed what he was going to say. He
was so excited that his ears turned red.
[—I am really impressed. Doesn't he feel embarrassed? What's the point of saying treasure or not? And in front of so many people! I am a fucking man!]
Huo Qiao gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red because of embarrassment.
"Oh, so you are still coveting my other treasures. You are so arrogant!"
Old Master Cui smiled.
"Dad, young people are just joking. Don't take it seriously. Let me put this painting away, okay?"
Cui Xianxing probably saw what these young people were up to.
He glanced at Pei Yuzhi nonchalantly, thinking, how unstable and anxious he is.
Pei Yuzhi isolated himself from all these sights. He looked at Old Master Cui seriously and said,
"Grandpa, I am pursuing Huo Qiao now. He said that he values his family's opinions very much. I think Huo Qiao is the person you treasure most, so you brought up such a bold topic here."
"What? You are pursuing Huo Qiao?" Sun Yunyu was speechless, "But, haven't you known each other for a short time and just become friends?"
Cui Xianyue's words were thorny: "Yunyu, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"
What are you pretending to be? Pei Yuzhi has bewitched Huo Qiao to the point of being infatuated with him. Huo Qiao will probably call Sun Yunyu "Mom" in the future, right?
Cui Xianyue, who had never thought about this before, felt suffocated.
So her son was born to Sun Yunyu?
She disagrees!
"Yuzhi, you and Huo Qiao..."
Sun Yunyu felt sweat pouring down her back. She knew Pei Yuzhi well.
What is he talking about pursuing? He must have been together before he would bring it up in this situation.
No wonder Mr. Cui's nose wasn't a nose and his eyes weren't eyes just now!
