the next day.
Yan Ning got up early and went to the art museum with mixed feelings.
She wore a simple dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps.
Her long, jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a fresh and elegant look.
A long queue had already formed at the entrance of the art museum.
"I'm so excited to finally see Mr. Xie's collection!"
"It's said that the total value of the exhibits on display today is in the billions. We're in for a treat!"
"Yes, that's a rare sight indeed!"
People's faces were filled with anticipation, and they couldn't wait to see the splendor of Xie Huaiye's precious collection.
The Xie family is the head of the three major families in City A.
Xie Huaiye's collection is even more dazzling, with each piece being a priceless treasure.
From ancient bronzes to exquisite porcelain, from calligraphy and paintings by famous artists to rare gemstones.
Yan Ning queued up and entered the art museum, which was bustling with activity.
Visitors wander between the various exhibition halls, where every sight is a breathtaking treasure.
Several middle-aged men stood gazing at a huge landscape painting from the Ming Dynasty.
In the painting, mountains rise and fall, clouds and mist swirl, ancient trees reach for the sky, and the artistic conception is profound.
The man wearing glasses tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.
"This painting is truly exceptional in terms of composition, brushwork, and artistic conception. It is truly enviable that Mr. Xie has been able to collect such a treasure."
Another slightly overweight man nodded, a hint of envy in his voice:
"That's right! Paintings from the Ming Dynasty that have survived to this day are already rare, and those that are well preserved like this are even rarer."
"Mr. Xie not only has a good eye, but also financial resources. This painting must be worth at least tens of millions on the market."
A woman nearby joined the discussion; she was wearing an elegant cheongsam and remarked:
"Yes, every piece in Mr. Xie's collection is a masterpiece among masterpieces."
"He not only collected ancient Chinese artifacts, but also Western oil paintings, sculptures, and even some rare ancient books. His wealth and taste are truly admirable."
"Mr. Xie's taste is truly exceptional!"
"We are so lucky to be able to see an exhibition like this!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, praising Xie Huaiye's taste and wealth.
Yan Ning silently passed by them, following the signs to find the white jade Guanyin statue.
Compared to other precious collectibles, the white jade Guanyin is not so unique.
The art museum was very large, with many exhibition halls. Yan Ning searched for quite a while before finding the exhibition hall where the white jade Guanyin statue was displayed.
The white jade Guanyin statue was placed in a relatively small exhibition hall, which was not crowded.
It was placed in the very center of the exhibition hall, and was completely protected by a glass cover.
The soft yet bright lighting in the exhibition hall illuminated the white jade Guanyin statue, making it shine brilliantly.
Yan Ning walked through the crowd and came to the white jade Guanyin statue. Her eyes were immediately drawn to it.
The white jade Guanyin nodded slightly, and from her lowered eyebrows to her gently drooping sleeves, every detail exuded an indescribable beauty.
It was as if Guanyin was gazing upon all things in the world with a compassionate gaze.
It's absolutely gorgeous!
It was so beautiful that Yan Ning almost forgot that it had blinked its eyes earlier.
At this moment, a little girl also came to the side of the white jade Guanyin.
She looked about seven or eight years old, with two pigtails and big, curious eyes.
The little girl leaned against the glass case, staring intently at the white jade Guanyin, murmuring incessantly:
"Mom, this Guanyin is so beautiful! I love it!"
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
The little girl's mother stood to the side, gently stroking her hair with a loving smile on her face.
"bite--"
At this heartwarming moment, Mom's phone suddenly rang.
She glanced apologetically at the little girl and said softly, "Mommy needs to take this call. Wait here for a bit, okay?"
After saying that, she went to the side to answer the phone.
"Okay, Mom, I won't go away."
The little girl obediently nodded and continued to lean against the glass, looking at the white jade Guanyin.
She shook her head as she looked at it, which looked very cute.
However, the next second, an accident occurred.
"Ouch! Mom, my eyes hurt!"
The little girl's body suddenly began to convulse, her hands gripped the glass cover tightly, and her facial expression became distorted.
Yan Ning was startled and was about to step forward to check when he saw the little girl's eyes meet the eyes of the white jade Guanyin.
In an instant, the eyes of the white jade Guanyin blinked slightly, as if it had come to life.
"ah!"
The little girl's body convulsed even more violently, and she let out a low groan.
Then he fell backward to the ground, his legs twitched a few times, his eyes rolled back, and he fell into a coma.
Yan Ning was shocked and immediately bent down to check on the little girl.
She reached out to check the little girl's breathing and found that although her breathing was weak, it was still relatively steady.
At this moment, the little girl's mother also turned around and saw her daughter lying on the ground. She screamed in terror:
"Xiaxia, what's wrong!"
She ran over quickly, picked up her daughter, and her eyes were filled with anxious and fearful tears.
Xiaxia lay in her mother's arms, her legs trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
Yan Ning stood up, her gaze fixed on the white jade Guanyin inside the glass case.
