Chapter 499: Chapter 527: The Course of Events (1st Update)
"Why would I need so much money? Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t use it!" Shangguan Hong replied, "Besides, this is a gift I prepared for you, Grandpa. I won’t sell it for any amount of money!!"
The old man’s smile broadened; he hadn’t spoiled this grandson for nothing!
Now he guessed that Elder Shi must be feeling upset, after all, such a miraculous treasure slipped from his hands.
Shangguan Xiong and Fan Xia nodded, it seemed Hong’Er was not just a troublemaker, he had sensible moments too!
But from whom did he buy this treasure for just two thousand yuan? Why would anyone sell it?
Unless that seller was a fool, otherwise, anyone can tell that this is not ordinary stuff!
"Hong’Er, how did you get this treasure?" Shangguan Xiong asked the question everyone was curious about.
At this moment, almost everyone looked at Shangguan Hong in curiosity.
Shangguan Hong’s vanity was immensely satisfied, his little face was flushed. Being the center of attention and receiving everyone’s admiration, this was the first time in his life.
One could say this feeling was absolutely fantastic!
"The process is long and quite complex, it’s hard to explain all at once!" Shangguan Hong’s little face turned very serious, like a little adult.
Shangguan Xiong was stunned, is this brat purposely being mysterious?
Fan Xia couldn’t help but cover her mouth, laughing at her son, while Shangguan Nishang’s face darkened. "Does this brat want to get beaten up?"
The others at this moment, also suddenly found it inexplicably funny!
"No rush, take your time," the old man calmly and kindly looked at Shangguan Hong.
"But Grandpa, it’s really long!" Shangguan Hong said.
"We have plenty of time now!" said the old man.
"Do you really want to hear it, everyone?"
"Yes, we want to hear it!" everyone nodded eagerly. You spent two thousand yuan on something worth two hundred and fifty million, of course, everyone wanted to hear it!
Who knows, they could maybe score similar luck!
Although a two hundred and fifty million treasure might be out of reach, even a few tens of millions or a few million would be fine, and if not, even a hundred thousand would be decent!
"Shall I start then?"
"Go ahead!"
"I’m really going to start telling it now!"
"...Okay."
"Wait a moment, let me have a drink first!" Shangguan picked up a water glass, gulping down a large amount.
Shangguan Nishang, sitting next to Lin Xi, couldn’t hold back and said in a less-than-good tone, "If you keep stalling, we might as well discuss the Black Gold Card issue!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Hong gave an awkward smile, not to mention he feared his sister the most, and this time, he was at fault for stealing the card!
So he immediately put down the glass, glanced at his brother-in-law Lin Xi, with a slightly inquiring look.
"This little brat!" Lin Xi couldn’t help but curse silently.
You’ve teased everyone enough, and now you’re still asking me? If I tell you not to speak, wouldn’t I be hated by everyone in the Shangguan family afterward.
Although he didn’t care about most people’s grudge!
But to have Shangguan Nishang become his woman, offending her mother, father, and grandpa is probably not a good idea!
So Lin Xi signaled with his eyes, go ahead, say what you want!
This scene was seen by quite a few, and many then remembered Lin Xi, getting curious!
Could he be involved somehow?
Only then did Shangguan Hong begin to tell his story, starting from when he sneaked out of the Shangguan family.
When he mentioned reaching the antique shop, nobody paid much attention until he spoke of having the shop owner bring out the treasure of the shop, then everyone focused intently.
He recounted the previous events, of course, making some embellishments along the way!
Overall, he slightly exaggerated his role and downplayed his mistakes.
For instance, he added that from the beginning, he sensed the two small items were unusual, implying that even without Lin Xi, he would have bought them.
After he finished, everyone’s expressions varied.
The old man, with a stern look, spoke to the servant Ah Fu behind him, "Find those people and teach them a lesson again!"
"Dare to mess with my grandson, they must have guts of bears and leopards!"
