Chapter 29: An accident occurred at the Su family tasting meeting
When Zhong Yangyang saw the Zhong couple appear, she immediately wanted to defend Kong Xiyan, but she hesitated and couldn't explain how Kong Xiyan got in.
Just at this moment, Su Yue came over: "I brought her in. On the way here, I saw her wandering alone on the street. I thought since she has nothing to do today, she should accompany me here for a stroll."
With Su Yue's help, the Zhong couple thought it was too coincidental, but they also didn't think Su Yue would lie for Kong Xiyan, whom they had only met once.
After all, it's just for the Zhong family's sake.
"Xiyan." Liang Qiu walked straight towards Kong Xiyan, put his hands on her shoulders, his eyes full of regret: "Since you are here, why don't you wear the clothes I prepared for you?"
"Hmm?" Kong Xiyan blinked.
"When the time comes, you and Yangyang will stand together, dressed so similarly, like twins. It will be great!" Liang Qiu's addiction to miracle daughter came back, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
The corners of Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched, and she looked speechlessly at Zhong Yangyang beside her. The latter could only laugh dryly and wordlessly advised Kong Xiyan to accept her fate.
Seeing how friendly the richest family was towards Kong Xiyan, everyone felt that the Gao family's methods were really inferior.
After all, nouveau riche are not worthy of being on the stage!
At the same time, behind the crowd, a girl in a plain little dress fixed her eyes on Young Master Luo. Her gaze darkened slightly, and just as she was about to step forward, someone hugged her slender waist from behind.
"You said you wanted to see the world, so I brought you here." Su Jinchen put one arm around the girl's waist and used his other hand to stroke her face and neck with his fingertips: "How... are you going to repay me?"
"Young Master Su...don't do this..." The girl's voice trembled, and she looked timid and scared, but there was no fear in her eyes, only murderous intent: "There are too many people here, don't do this..."
"Heh." Su Jinchen laughed and led the girl away from the crowd. Not long after entering the room, a muffled groaning sound was heard, and then the girl walked out alone.
She walked into the hall, blending into the crowd, waiting for the right moment.
Kong Xiyan, who was in the crowd, glanced at Luo Sanshao's face. Her eyes moved slightly, and she hooked her finger at him and whispered, "Don't leave me."
If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen.
Hearing Kong Xiyan's words, Young Master Luo's eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.
After being hesitant and reluctant, you started to show weakness again, right?
Oh.
At this time, someone invited everyone to move to the side hall and the tasting session officially began.
From the other end of the side hall, Maidong, who was being entertained individually by the eldest son of the Su family, was also invited in and sat in the center seat.
Mai Dong looked young and was a new face in South City. He had attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as he appeared. Everyone was even more shocked to see that he was sitting in a place where only direct descendants of the Su family could sit.
Who is this new upstart?
After Maidong sat down, he looked around to see where the Gao brothers and sisters were.
Who knew that instead of seeing the Gao brothers and sisters, I saw an extraordinary person!
"division……"
Before he could finish his words, the latter narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head slowly at him, signaling him not to talk too much.
After being shocked, Maidong could only turn around slowly. He suddenly lost his previous majestic demeanor and straightened his back, looking like a primary school student who found his head teacher behind him.
"Mr. Mai, what did you just say?" The eldest young master of the Su family looked at Mai Dong.
"Master..." Mai Dong was still in shock. Why would his busy master show up in Nancheng at this time? "Learn the skills of the barbarians to defeat them, apply what you learn to become invincible. I, I came here to learn!"
"Mr. Mai is too modest. Everyone knows that Mr. Mai is a student of Dian Xi, the most popular new-school painter to date. It is difficult for many people to ask for a meeting with him." The eldest son of the Su family entertained Mai Dong alone today because he wanted to get some information about Dian Xi.
Unfortunately, Maidong is too tight-lipped. He doesn't reveal anything related to Dian Xi, which makes the existence of Master Dian Xi even more mysterious.
The Su family's tasting session officially began after a brief speech by the head of the Su family. The first item to be tasted was a jade standing statue of Guanyin, about the size of a woman's palm.
The jade is exquisite, and its color becomes more warm and clear with the baptism of time. The carving is delicate, and it has the elegant posture of a belt flowing in the wind. Guanyin has a compassionate face, with eyes slightly open, as if she can't bear to see the seven sufferings of all living beings, but she can't close her eyes completely and ignore them. She holds a jade bottle in one hand and seems to hold a willow branch in the other hand to sprinkle rain on the world.
This jade Guanyin attracted everyone's admiration as soon as it was exhibited.
The exhibit's introducer was very satisfied. He chuckled and then began to explain the item's origins. Finally, he sighed and pretended to be regretful: "It's indeed a good thing, but my friend has been short of funds recently and wants to sell it. He's offered 28 million. So, I can only entrust it to you, Mr. Su, to see if it will catch your eye and establish a good relationship with you."
The Su family's appreciation sessions not only include jewellery, antiques, landscapes, calligraphy and paintings, but they also occasionally bring in treasures like these for circulation.
There are mostly literati and scholars here, and the atmosphere is more free than that of an auction house. The Su family will not charge a commission like an auction house, and the price of the items is set by the seller.
If someone likes it, take it away. If no one wants it, keep it for yourself. The first one to ask gets it.
It’s just that the threshold is too high. Only truly good things can catch the eye of the head of the Su family and have the opportunity to be displayed in front of everyone.
Upon hearing the offer, Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly. The item was good and the price was not expensive. A few years ago, there was a Guanyin statue from the Qing Dynasty court that was larger and older than this one. It was sold for 75 million yuan.
It can be seen that the other party is really eager to get rid of it.
Kong Xiyan wanted to take a picture of it, but because the Zhong family couple were present, she couldn't speak. She could only put one hand in front of her lips and cleared her throat: "Ahem."
Mai Dong, who was sitting upright in the front, suddenly shuddered and said immediately, "If you are willing to give up your love, then let me make this good relationship."
Seeing that Mai Dong casually spent 28 million, those who had been guessing about Mai Dong's identity now looked at him with even higher regard.
The person who brought the jade Guanyin statue even clasped his hands and bowed to Maidong to express his gratitude.
Maidong smiled and turned around to look in Kong Xiyan's direction with a grin, as if seeking credit.
Kong Xiyan just curled her lips when she saw this, thinking that this cheap apprentice was sensible. She would add a little more to the 28 million and transfer it to him.
The few treasures exhibited and appreciated later were also very good, but except for a white jade pendant, they were not for sale and were only for appreciation.
Kong Xiyan didn't say anything about the white jade pendant, so Maidong immediately bought it for 17 million yuan, and turned around to grin at Kong Xiyan again.
wrong.
Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly.
This cheap apprentice seemed to be feeling guilty about something stupid, which was why he was trying so hard to please.
Just as Kong Xiyan was thinking this, the last treasure to be appreciated was already on display on the stage, which was a few paintings.
As soon as the painting was exhibited, Maidong began to break out in a cold sweat, while Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly.
Wow, he's showing off her paintings here!
No wonder he feels guilty!
While the paintings were being displayed, the girl sitting in the back also received instructions from above, and it was time to take action.
She stood up with a bang, her eyes bloodshot as she shouted, "You were the first to wrong me! I'm going to kill you!" Then she rushed straight towards Young Master Luo, the fruit knife she had taken from the Su family's hall in her hand shining coldly.
