Hong Huohuo panicked when he saw that Lin Han had a cold face and was not as lively as he had seemed at the beginning.

She pursed her lips and said cautiously, "I think I should take you directly to see my grandfather, Brother Lin Han, what do you think?"

I thought Lin Han would agree directly, but unexpectedly, he shook his head.

Now, Hong Huohuo became even more panicked.

However, this girl has a very high emotional intelligence, and everything she says and does is very flawless.

She didn't go to talk to Lin Han, but turned to Zhuang Yao, shook the latter's arm and begged:

"Sister Zhuang Yao, please ask Lin Han for me. It was my fault for not answering his call the past two days, but I really didn't mean it..."

Zhuang Yao shrugged her shoulders and pointed at Hong Huohuo in a hidden way towards Lin Han. Her expression seemed to say, "You should deal with the people you provoke yourself! Don't let anyone provoke me!"

Only then did Lin Han realize that Hong Huohuo had misunderstood him.

Of course it would be best if I could meet Mr. Hong in person.

But if that happened, Hong Huohuo would definitely tell Old Man Hong about how he saved her.

He saved people purely out of moral reasons. At that time, he didn't even know who Hong Huohuo was!

But Mr. Hong would definitely not think so.

Old Master Hong would think that Lin Han was a scheming person who was willing to use Hong Huohuo in order to get close to him.

Lin Han has been in the society for so many years. From being naive at the beginning, he has gradually transformed into a powerful person and has shown his ambition without any concealment.

But now, he has chosen to return to basics.

There is no need to hide anything in front of real people.

Any small movement will be seen through by them at a glance.

Hiding one's shortcomings is the secret to interacting with important figures like Mr. Hong.

"Huo Huo, you misunderstood. I feel honored to be able to go directly to see your grandfather, but I prepared a gift for your grandfather today... Besides, I am in the antique business. If you let me go in directly, isn't that cheating?"

These words made Hong Huohuo speechless.

Her pink lips opened slightly, and then she asked Lin Han: "Then... I'll go with you."

Zhuang Yao immediately responded, "Let's not do it. When you appeared just now, everyone around you was stunned. We will have to conduct an antique appraisal later..."

What I mean is, please stop causing trouble.

Ge Fu doesn't think so.

Seeing Hong Huohuo pouting and wanting to follow Lin Han, he simply said, "They don't know who you are! Just pretend to be my girlfriend!"

"Ha! You!"

The three of them were amused by Ge Fu.

Hong Huohuo's jade-like arms pinched her small waist, and she tilted her head slightly: "If you want to pretend, then pretend to be Lin Han's girlfriend!"

After saying this, Hong Huohuo realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly pursed his lips, glancing at Lin Han somewhat embarrassedly.

Zhuang Yao had already seen through Hong Huohuo's thoughts, but she was always very generous.

Hearing what Hong Huohuo said, she just looked at Lin Han with a half-smile, as if she was watching a play.

Lin Han, however, was calm and composed. He glanced back at Zhuang Yao and said, "I have many girlfriends. Why are you joining in the fun?"

In one sentence, a bucket of cold water was poured on the red fire in my heart.

Hong Huohuo pointed at Lin Han with her slender finger and said angrily: "Brother Lin Han, you are a bad person!"

Ge Fu next to him screamed, covered his heart exaggeratedly, and pretended to fall to the ground!

"Oh my god! I, Ge Fu, am one of the four young masters of Shangjing. How come I was completely defeated by you, Lin Han?"

He stretched out his hand, wanting Hong Huohuo to help him up: "Miss Huohuo, come... I can't hold on any longer, help me to the backstage."

Hong Huohuo knew he was joking, but still walked up to him hesitantly.

Even though Zhuang Yao yelled at her not to be fooled by Ge Fu,

She still pulled Ge Fu back.

Ge Fu wanted to comfort her and wanted to pull Huohuo's red jade hand to press it against his heart, but Huohuo pulled it away, and in the end, he pulled nothing.

"Brother Lin Han, let's go to the backstage. Actually, not many people know me. At most, I can just say... I am Sister Zhuang Yao's sister. How about that?"

"I definitely don't mind having such a beautiful sister!"

Zhuang Yao was the first to agree.

Lin Han didn't say anything else.

The inner venue is actually located in a library on the side of the Hong family manor.

They walked through a long corridor that looked like one from the former imperial palace, then crossed a lawn and arrived at the library.

Outside the library, three large characters "Qingfeng Pavilion" are hung high above.

After entering, the view suddenly becomes clear.

There are five floors in the library. According to Hong Huohuo, before the banquet, the first floor was also filled with books.

In order to entertain the guests, the Hong family moved the bookcases and books on the first floor to another place in advance.

Now, the huge space is used for guests to hold banquets and communicate.

On the left is the wine and beverage area.

On the right is the reception area.

The rows of seats and the long table at the front for displaying collections make the entire venue look like an auction.

Especially the spotlights above the long display table.

The collections above almost become the only focus of attention in the venue.

Before Lin Han and his friends arrived, the collection display had already begun.

The Hong family members will display, evaluate and register the gifts given by the guests to Mr. Hong one by one.

This process is also the best time for guests to show off their gifts.

At this time, displayed on the long table is an open-mouthed bowl from the Southern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln, which looks like a sunny day after rain.

Lin Han, Zhuang Yao, Hong Huohuo and Ge Fu had just sat down.

Lin Han shook his head: "This bowl is wrong. How dare you give something like this to others?"

Um?

After hearing this, Zhuang Yao and Ge Fu both looked up at the big screen.

Their seats are some distance away from the display stand.

There is a large screen in the venue, and the view is clearer from it.

"Fake? No way!"

Ge Fu didn't quite understand this.

I just know that the gift given to Mr. Hong cannot be fake.

In that case, it’s better not to send it!

Zhuang Yao understood a little, but couldn’t see it clearly on the big screen, so she just said: If this thing is real, it will be in the top ten!

"Not just the top ten, the top five are possible. There are only one or two Ru kilns from the Southern Song Dynasty in the museum!"

Lin Han asked Hong Huohuo: "If you encounter someone sending fake goods..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Han's gaze met Hong Huohuo's passionate eyes.

This girl doesn't care about the gift, it's just a Ru kiln from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Ever since she sat down next to Lin Han, her eyes have never left Lin Han, not even for a second!

Now, Lin Han looked at him coldly.

Hong Huohuo blinked, reacted for a few seconds and said:

"It's fake, so what... Some people do it on purpose, and some people... are probably deceived. My grandfather usually doesn't deal with these things!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of the evaluator was heard on the stage.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, we don't like this collection... You should take it back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a royal blue suit stood up with a pale face in the audience.

He ignored the obstruction around him and stumbled onto the stage.
