1028 Master Xu Is Upse
“Girl Gu, did you find all of them by accident?” Master Leng asked, but didn’t believe it.
It was very difficult to find a piece of real antique, but Gu Ning was able to find so many within a short time, which was so unbelievable! Therefore, Master Leng was suspicious of the sources of these real antiques.
Even though he had suspicion, it didn’t mean he thought it was a bad thing. As long as Gu Ning didn’t steal or grab them from somewhere, it was fine in his eyes.
However, Gu Ning had stolen some of them.
Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu also looked at Gu Ning with doubts. They had the same idea as Master Leng, but didn’t ask it aloud.
Gu Ning understood that it wasn’t easy to deceive them into believing that she found these real antiques all by accident
“Um, I found some of them by accident, and bought some from grave-diggers. I went to HK a while ago, and found a large cave in a mountain there. It used to be the base of a group of pirates and they left many valuable objects in the cave, so I took them,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, those masters nodded.
“Did you go to HK along with Shaoting?” Master Leng asked Gu Ning again. He remembered that Leng Shaoting had visited HK a few days ago too. However, Master Leng didn’t think that it was possible, because Leng Shaoting went to HK to fulfill a task and he should have been with Gu Ning.
“Yeah, I went to HK to deal with something, and he was with me to protect me,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Master Leng was struck dumb for a second. “How is it possible? I read a piece of news earlier and it said that a woman named Tang Aining had a gambling competition against He Hongyuan in HK. Shaoting told me that he went there to protect the woman!”
Master Leng suddenly realized that Leng Shaoting had lied to him.
Gu Ning felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect that Master Leng would read that news and that Leng Shaoting had lied to him.
“Um, Tang Aining is actually my friend, and she had a deal with the He family which was quite dangerous, so I went there to protect her. Shaoting was worried about my safety, so he went to HK to protect me,” Gu Ning said and lied.
Master Leng nodded and believed her explanation.
In the following hour, Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu focused on the pile of real antiques, but Master Leng wasn’t very interested in them because he loved paintings more. Therefore, he kept chatting with Gu Ning to kill the time.
Since Gu Ning introduced herself as Leng Shaoting’s girlfriend, she should send Master Leng a gift at their first meeting. She made an excuse and walked out, then came back with a roll of painting in her hands.
“What is it?” Master Leng’s eyes lit up at once. He understood that it had to be a painting of high quality.
Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu were also attracted to it.
“This is a gift for you, Grandpa Leng, I hope you’ll like it,” Gu Ning said and handed it to Master Leng.
“Of course I’ll like it!” Master Leng beamed. It was a gift from his future grand daughter-in-law!
Master Leng took the painting and unrolled it. The second he recognized what the painting was, he was shocked.
“I-Is this the Confederate Rose by Water of Tang Yin?” Master Leng couldn’t believe his eyes.
“The Confederate Rose by Water of Tang Yin?” Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu were astonished too.
“Is it real?” Master Xu asked. He wasn’t doubting Gu Ning, but there were too many fakes on the market after all, and he was unwilling to see Master Leng disappointed.
Master Leng then began to observe it with great caution.
Gu Ning didn’t mind, because it indeed needed an appraisal to see whether an ancient object was real or not.
After checking it, Master Leng was sure it was real.
“It is real!” Master Leng was thrilled.
“My great future granddaughter-in-law, thank you so much for this gift!” Master Leng complimented Gu Ning.
“Well, I’m a little jealous of you now. When can my grandson find such a good girlfriend like Girl Gu?” Master Xu said. He also wanted to be as happy as Master Leng.
“Xu, don’t worry about it. It’ll happen in the future,” Master Leng said to comfort Master Xu, but it sounded as if he was gloating.
“Of course it will happen in the near future! Jinchen is also a good young man, and he’ll find a good girl too,” Master Xu said.
Master Xu always compared Xu Jinchen with Leng Shaoting, because they were close friends and often hung out together.
Leng Shaoting already had a girlfriend and they were about to get engaged, but Xu Jinchen was still single, which made Master Xu feel upset.
