517: Chapter 0517: Profitable Purchase 517: Chapter 0517: Profitable Purchase “Huh?
Why did Old Zhou fall?
Quick, help Old Zhou up!”
People scrambled to lift Old Zhou, his clothes covered in footprints.
Old Zhou, dressed in a gray long robe with white hair and beard, was an expert in Dragon Country’s antiques.
Everyone hurriedly made way for Old Zhou.
He adjusted his reading glasses, thankful they hadn’t been crushed in the commotion; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to do any appraising!
Normally, being stepped on like that would have enraged Old Zhou, but now, he only wanted to lay his eyes on “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.”
Having finally made it through the crowd, Old Zhou glimpsed at the painting, and tears of turbid emotion began streaming down his face!
“My God!
It’s authentic!
Authentic!” Old Zhou threw himself at the painting, utterly enchanted by the artwork before him!
As soon as Old Zhou confird its authenticity, the previously sowhat calm crowd went into a frenzy again, “Mr.
Qin, I offer eighty million US dollars!”
“Eighty million US dollars?
I bid eighty million pounds!”
“I bid one hundred million pounds!”
…
The genuine “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” was considered a national treasure, and no amount of money would prevent soone from buying it!
Qin Yu wasn’t surprised by the spectacle at all, but he had no intention of selling.
For one, Qin Yu wasn’t in need of money at the mont; secondly, he felt differently about this painting of “Along the River During the Qingming Festival,” as if it contained so significant secret.
“Sorry, everyone.
I have no plans to sell ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival.’ I made it very clear earlier that this is a gift for my father-in-law,” Qin Yu said with a smile.
Seeing Qin Yu had no intention to sell, many VIPs returned to their private boxes, faces filled with disappointnt.
Old Zhou did not leave.
As an antique appraiser, witnessing such a marvel was the happiest mont of his life!
It could be said that Old Zhou had embedded “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” so deeply in his eyes it couldn’t be gouged out!
“Old Zhou, excuse , I need to put away the painting,” Qin Yu said, issuing an eviction notice to Old Zhou, but courteously considering the man’s age.
Old Zhou was almost depressed to death.
If it weren’t for Qin Yu being married and Su Ziyan being so outstanding, he would’ve sold his own granddaughter without a second thought!
Despite his reluctance, Old Zhou could only leave Qin Yu’s private box, looking back with every step he took.
Qin Yu’s private box emptied, Qu Xiaoting still hadn’t recovered from her stupor, struggling to comprehend what had just happened!
“How…
how could it be genuine…” Qu Xiaoting felt numbness in her lips, her mind blank.
Seeing Qu Xiaoting like this, Su Ziyan added salt to the wound unapologetically, “Oh, Miss Qu, looks like you got it wrong!
This is no fake!
We really hit the jackpot!”
Emilia was even harsher, chuckling, “I finally understand why Mr.
Qin said he wanted to thank Chen Jing!
If it weren’t for Chen Jing, Mr.
Qin might still think he bought a fake, right?”
Chen Jing’s heart sank completely!
She knew soone had deliberately set her up!
Soone had tripped her!
And that person, undoubtedly, was Qu Xiaoting—especially since Chen Jing had mocked her when she was embarrassed earlier!
Chen Jing said cheerily, “Miss Emilia, Mr.
Qin really shouldn’t thank , but rather Miss Qu, who tripped earlier!”
