Chapter 1023 It’s good to have a granddaughter-in-law
“Girl, did you find all these items?” asked Old Man Leng, but he didn’t believe it in his heart. He felt that it was impossible for all these things to be found at a loss, even if Gu Ning did have the ability to identify objects.
Because many objects are now collected by the state or collectors, there are very few authentic ones that can be seen. Even if Gu Ning has the ability to identify the authenticity of objects, there are not so many things for him to pick up! So he thinks that the origins of these objects are more or less problematic.
But even if there was a problem, as long as it wasn't theft, he didn't think it was a big deal. He just wanted an answer to feel at ease.
Mr. Leng has always been an upright person, so he doesn't want anyone in his family to do anything illegal.
However, some things are just stolen.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu also looked at Gu Ning in confusion. Naturally, they had the same idea as Mr. Leng, but they didn't dare to ask too much.
Gu Ning knew that these old men were not easy to fool, so he did not say that they were all lucky winners. He concealed things when necessary, and said things that did not need to be concealed.
"Some of them were found as bargains, and some were stolen by tomb robbers. Since I often go to the antique street, I occasionally come across them and accept them. Most of them were found when I went to Gangcheng a few days ago and was looking for people on a deserted island. I found a cave, which was the stronghold of ancient pirates. There were many objects in it, so I took them back." Gu Ning said.
Hearing this, the old men no longer doubted him. As long as they were not stolen from tombs, they had no other thoughts about these things.
However, regarding Gu Ning's visit to Hong Kong City a few days ago, Mr. Leng suddenly remembered that Leng Shaoting had also gone to Hong Kong City a few days ago. Could it be that they went together? Thinking about it, Mr. Leng casually asked, "You went to Hong Kong City a few days ago, were you with Shaoting? Shaoting also went to Hong Kong City a few days ago."
After asking, Mr. Leng felt that it was a little impossible, because Shao Ting was going to carry out a mission and should not be with Gu Ning!
However, when Gu Ning heard Mr. Leng ask this, he thought he knew something, so he said, "Yes! Because I had something to do in Hong Kong, he was worried, so he accompanied me."
Hearing this, Mr. Leng was stunned: "That's not right! I saw a news report saying that a woman named Tang Aining was gambling with He Hongyuan, the second master of the He family. I asked him if his mission in Hong Kong City was to protect this Tang Aining, and he said yes!"
Old Master Leng understood everything. It was obvious that Leng Shaoting was fooling him.
Gu Ning was stunned, and a look of discomfort flashed across his face. He didn't expect that Mr. Leng had seen the news, and Leng Shaoting was so perfunctory about it.
Since that was the case, Gu Ning naturally had to smooth things over, so he said, "Actually, Tang Aining is my friend. Because she had a deal with the He family, she went to gamble for the He family and He Hongyuan. This was naturally dangerous, so I went there to protect her. Because Shao Ting was worried about me, he followed me and both of us acted as Tang Aining's bodyguards."
So, Mr. Leng also believed it.
Next, Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu were fully focused on the pile of antiques, but Mr. Leng was not very interested. He liked calligraphy and paintings. This time he came mainly to see Gu Ning, so he pulled Gu Ning aside to talk.
However, since Gu Ning and Old Master Leng had recognized each other, it was time to bring out the gift, so he asked Old Master Leng to wait for a moment and said that he would go and get something.
Gu Ning pretended to go out for a while, and when he came back, he had a scroll in his hand.
"What is this?" When Mr. Leng saw the scroll, he knew it contained calligraphy and painting. His eyes lit up immediately and he couldn't wait to see it.
Because Mr. Leng had received calligraphy and paintings from Gu Ning, he knew that what Gu Ning was selling must be ordinary items.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhongyu and Mr. Xu immediately came over.
"This is a gift for Grandpa Leng. I hope he likes it." Gu Ning handed the calligraphy and painting to Grandpa Leng. He did not help him open it, but let him open it himself. This was more meaningful.
"I like it, of course I like it." Even before he saw what it was, Mr. Leng expressed his happiness. Not to mention that he knew that the things Gu Ning gave would not be bad, even if it was an ordinary thing, as long as it was given by Gu Ning, he would like it.
This is a gift given to him by his granddaughter-in-law!
Old Man Leng took it and opened the scroll.
However, you won’t know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be shocked.
"This, this is actually Tang Yin's [Hibiscus by the Water]..." Old Master Leng was stunned and excited. Although he had not yet verified whether the painting was real or fake, because he subconsciously believed in Gu Ning, his first reaction was not to doubt it.
"This, this is actually Tang Yin's [Hibiscus by the Water]..." Jiang Zhongyu and Old Man Xu were also stunned. They didn't expect that Gu Ning actually had such a precious thing.
"Is this real?" asked Old Master Xu. He was not doubting Gu Ning, but there were too many fakes nowadays, and even experts could make mistakes sometimes. So he was afraid that Gu Ning had made a mistake and Old Master Leng would be happy for nothing.
Although Mr. Leng believed in Gu Ning, he also needed verification, so he began to look at the painting carefully.
Even if he was suspected, Gu Ning didn't mind. After all, antiques had to be verified to determine whether they were real or fake, rather than just believing someone said they were real or fake.
After looking at it for a while, I was sure that it was the real thing.
"Really, it's true, hahahaha!" Old Master Leng was very happy. He had quite a few famous paintings, but none of Tang Yin's. Even if he had, he certainly wouldn't think it was too little.
"Grandson's wife, you are so amazing! You got such good things." Grandpa Leng praised.
"Humph! It's great to have a granddaughter-in-law. It's great to receive such a good gift. I don't know when that bad boy of mine will bring my granddaughter-in-law back to me. He should also give me a gift to make me happy." Grandpa Xu said sourly, feeling extremely envious and jealous.
But the most important thing is not the gift, but the granddaughter-in-law.
"Old Xu! Don't worry, it will happen, it will happen." Upon hearing this, Mr. Leng comforted him, but he didn't feel comforted, but felt a strong sense of pride and gloating.
"Humph! Of course there will be. My Zichen is not bad and he can find a good wife." Old Master Xu said unconvinced.
The reason why Mr. Xu always compares Xu Jingchen and Leng Shaoting instead of Xu Zilin who already has a fiancée is because Xu Jingchen and Leng Shaoting often go out together and have a closer relationship.
Obviously, they are two people who are often together. Leng Shaoting has a girlfriend, and she is so outstanding, but Xu Jingchen doesn't have one. This can't help but make Mr. Xu depressed.
