Chapter 316: Your girlfriend is too amazing
Mr. Leng’s face had darkened, and he looked at Leng Shaojia with extremely dissatisfied eyes, which frightened Leng Shaojia so much that he lowered his head and dared not look at Mr. Leng.
Old Master Leng has always known the Leng family's attitude towards Leng Shaoting, but as long as they get along peacefully with each other, Leng Shaoting is not wronged, and no one shows dislike for Leng Shaoting in front of him or speaks ill of Leng Shaoting, he doesn't want to say anything.
If it’s shown and said, he won’t ignore it.
But is it really that difficult for a family to live in harmony? Leng Shaoxun could not stand the fact that his idolized brother Shaoting was targeted: "Sister Shaojia, you clearly know that grandpa likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but you still say that they are rubbish. Are you targeting brother Shaoting or grandpa? If according to your theory that if you don't like something, it's rubbish, then why did you design those rubbish clothes?"
Leng Shaojia likes fashion design. Although he does not have a job at the moment, he has been designing clothes whenever he is not having fun.
Leng Shaoxun's words were meant to provoke, not because he was scheming, but because he really couldn't stand Leng Shaojia, because she had targeted Leng Shaoting more than once or twice.
Although she didn't dare to target Leng Shaoting directly in front of him, she said a lot of bad things about him behind his back.
"You..." Leng Shaojia was furious, but Old Man Leng was there and she had just said the wrong thing, so she didn't dare to refute.
The relationship between Leng Shaojia and his sister and Leng Shaoxun and his sister is not very good. They often quarrel over trivial matters. This is because Leng Shaoming and his sister inherited the selfish character of their mother Jiang Shuyuan, and they always put themselves at the center of everything.
Also, they felt that since the first wife was dead, the Leng family should belong to their second wife, and the third wife was redundant here, so they regarded the third wife as a thorn in their eyes.
But they all know that a strong family must be harmonious and united, so even though they have a bad relationship, they will not let outsiders know.
"You should also say less," Leng Yuanzhen scolded Leng Shaoxun.
Because of Leng Shaojia's words, Old Master Leng was unhappy. He didn't want to see her, so he went back to the study and told Leng Changzhi that if Leng Shaoting came back, he should ask him to come to the study directly.
A little after eight o'clock, Leng Shaoting came back, greeted several elders in the living room, and went upstairs.
"Brother Shaoting, can I go with you?" Leng Shaoxun asked. He also wanted to see what the calligraphy and painting that Leng Shaoting gave to Old Man Leng looked like.
"I have something to say to grandpa. I want to see it. Wait a moment." Leng Shaoting didn't want to know about him and Gu Ning for the time being, so he refused.
"Okay!" Leng Shaoxun naturally didn't dare to resist.
Leng Shaoting came to the study and knocked on the door. When he didn't see anyone, Old Man Leng guessed that it was Leng Shaoting and hurriedly let him in.
Leng Shaoting pushed the door open and walked in. Old Master Leng had already stood up and hurried towards Leng Shaoting. He walked in front of Leng Shaoting and snatched the scroll from his hand without saying a word, but his movements were very gentle because he was worried about damaging the painting.
He hurried to the table, opened the scroll, and carefully verified the authenticity of the calligraphy. It was not that he suspected Leng Shaoting gave him a fake, but it was just a habit to verify.
Moreover, there are many high-quality imitations of calligraphy and paintings nowadays, and even experts may not be able to tell the difference, so even if Leng Shaoting got a fake, it would not be a surprising thing.
However, based on his experience, Mr. Leng concluded that this calligraphy of "The Goddess of the Luo River" by Zhao Mengfu was an authentic one. Suddenly, Mr. Leng's hands began to tremble.
"Hahahaha! It's an authentic work of Zhao Mengfu. I never thought I could get such a valuable collection in this lifetime." Old Master Leng was so excited that he immediately had a malicious thought: "Let those old men come and see it tomorrow and make them envy them to death."
"By the way, where did you get it?" asked Mr. Leng curiously.
"Ningning found it and said it's a New Year's gift for you." Leng Shaoting didn't take any credit and directly exposed Gu Ning to Old Master Leng. Anyway, Old Master Leng already knew about Gu Ning's existence, and there was nothing to hide. It was just that Old Master Leng didn't know Gu Ning's specific identity.
Without asking, Mr. Leng knew who Ningning was that Leng Shaoting was talking about. She was none other than Leng Shaoting's girlfriend. However, the words "picking up a bargain" made Mr. Leng's eyes widen in surprise.
"Your girlfriend is so amazing!" Old Master Leng praised her generously.
Leng Shaoting was naturally happy that Gu Ning was praised, and a smug smile appeared on his lips, which surprised Old Man Leng. Leng Shaoting actually smiled, and it was because of that girl.
Grandpa Leng finally understood that his grandson had fallen completely into the hands of that girl. This made him more and more curious about what charm that girl had that could have won over his grandson so well.
But I have to say, this girl is really generous! She was able to find a bargain, so she must know the value of this calligraphy and painting.
In fact, it wasn't. Gu Ning's valuation of "The Goddess of Luo River" was wrong. Gu Ning thought the insurance value of the painting was around 7 or 8 million, or as much as tens of millions. In fact, it was not the case.
The insurance value of this "Goddess of Luo River" is at least over 30 million. If it were to be put up for auction, it might be sold for around 50 million.
After knowing that it was sent by Gu Ning, Mr. Leng suddenly felt that this was too hot to handle: "But, this gift is too expensive!"
Old Master Leng didn't think that the girl gave him this expensive gift to please him. He just thought that the girl was thoughtful and came from a good family.
However, this thing was indeed too valuable, and he felt a little uneasy holding it.
"The more valuable things are here." Leng Shaoting took out another handbag and placed it on the table.
Mr. Leng was stunned. What could be more valuable than Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy and painting? Could it be an antique?
"What is it?" asked Old Man Leng, his hand already impatiently opening it.
Leng Shaoting did not answer and let him see for himself.
Mr. Leng took out a wooden box from the bag and opened it. A piece of very green jadeite, as green as flowing oil, came into view, making Mr. Leng's eyes widen: "This, this..."
I'm speechless.
He had the answer in his mind, but he was not sure. Mr. Leng immediately took it out and observed it carefully. He was finally sure and excited: "This, this is really Imperial Green, it is really Imperial Green. How did you get it?"
"Ningning solved it today in the Gambling Stone Street," Leng Shaoting said.
"What?" Old Master Leng's heart trembled. It was her again.
Thinking of the news he heard not long ago, that a girl had found an imperial green jadeite worth hundreds of millions in the gambling stone street, he was also shocked for a while! But he didn't expect that this girl was actually Leng Shaoting's girlfriend, and his future granddaughter-in-law.
