At this mont, Li Chuan's mood is equally complex.
Because he now knows Gao Jinyu's identity.
This leaves him speechless for a while.
The other party is not only the secretary of the provincial city but also Han De's mother?
However, why does Han De look nothing like Gao Jinyu?
Isn't it said that sons often look like their mothers?
Han De felt a chill in his heart from Li Chuan's gaze and imdiately snorted coldly and turned away.
He wanted to deal with Li Chuan, but he was simply no match for him!
Previously at the Zhou Family, he wanted to use the geomancer Zhuang Bufan to suppress Li Chuan's prestige, but it turned out Zhuang Bufan is dead now!
So at this mont, Han De is genuinely afraid of Li Chuan.
"Sis, the Xi Mountain Traveling Picture is right here, have a look." Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Li Chuan, indicating for him to take out the Xi Mountain Traveling Picture.
Li Chuan didn't say anything either, he and Gao Jinyu maintained a kind of tacit understanding, pretending not to know each other.
After placing the brocade box on the table, Li Chuan took out the Xi Mountain Traveling Picture and laid it flat on the stone table.
Gao Jinyu's face was full of anticipation and excitent. She shouted to Han De, who hadn't gone far, "Han De, bring my magnifying glass!"
Seeing his mother, whom he feared, Han De imdiately scampered off to fetch the magnifying glass and handed it to Gao Jinyu.
With the magnifying glass in hand, Gao Jinyu began to observe the Xi Mountain Traveling Picture, practically lying on the stone table. Her round and perky bottom and a slender waist made it hard to believe she was Han De's mother.
As Li Chuan looked at that beautiful curve, he couldn't help but recall that unforgettable night, and his mind wandered.
As Gao Jinyu looked more at the painting, the more she liked it. Being from a scholarly family, she was very fond of classical calligraphy and painting. After a mont, she got up and looked at Li Chuan, probing, "Little brother, are you really unwilling to sell this Xi Mountain Traveling Picture to ?"
Hearing Gao Jinyu's voice, Li Chuan snapped back to reality and subconsciously said, "Actually, I originally wanted to give this Xi Mountain Traveling Picture to... a friend."
Halfway through, Li Chuan suddenly realized he was about to say it was intended for her, but that couldn't be said!
If he said it out loud, it would cause trouble. Why would he give it to Gao Jinyu?
Did they know each other before?
How did they know each other?
This could easily arouse others' suspicion!
Many things can't stand up to scrutiny!
Fortunately, he realized it in ti and corrected himself.
At this ti, Gao Jinyu also blushed and said, "To be honest, little brother, this Xi Mountain Traveling Picture is very important to . It was a cherished piece of my father in his youth, but later, it was stolen by a master thief in the Jianghu, becoming a source of regret for my father."
"If I can return it to its rightful owner, I am willing to pay a high price for it!"
Li Chuan showed a playful smile on his face, "So you thought to trick here first, now, if I refuse, I can't leave this place?"
Frankly, if not for wanting to surprise Gao Jinyu, he wouldn't have bought such paintings. Who would have thought Gao Yuanyuan was Gao Jinyu's sister?
It really is fate!
"Little brother, you're joking. We are not robbers." Gao Jinyu smiled slightly, full of charm, almost srizing Li Chuan.
"Mom, so what if we just take it from him? He even stole my fiancée!" Han De started to add fuel to the fire.
With Gao Jinyu being the provincial city's secretary, Han De's courage was significantly boosted. Seeing that Gao Jinyu was determined to get Li Chuan's painting, he had to stir things up.
Sure enough, after hearing Han De's words, Gao Jinyu looked incredulous, "What did you say? Isn't your fiancée that girl from the Zhou family? What's it got to do with him?"
Even Gao Yuanyuan was confused. Everyone in the provincial city knows about the engagent between Han De from the Han family and Zhou Ruolan from the Zhou family.
"De, what's going on?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked, ready to hear so gossip.
With Li Chuan looking at him playfully, Han De felt inexplicably flustered and finally said, sowhat awkwardly, "Mom, Auntie, I truly like Ruolan, but... it's unrequited love... When I went to Taohua Village, I found out Ruolan doesn't like ... She likes this guy..."
Han De had long wanted to reveal this because he really didn't want to marry Zhou Ruolan, only to find his wife sleeping with soone else every night!
He didn't want to be a cuckold, not even in the role of a fiancé!
However, he didn't know how to say it. Who would have thought this situation would arise today, giving him the perfect opportunity to speak out!
Upon hearing this, Gao Jinyu's face displayed a strange expression.
After that night, she knew Li Chuan very well; he was indeed attractive to young girls.
However...
"Han De, you're useless!" Gao Yuanyuan's face turned dark, "I can't believe you can't even handle your betrothed fiancée! You've disgraced the entire Han family!"
Han De felt a huge grievance!
How could this be his fault?
It was Li Chuan who behaved unscrupulously! If he hadn't gone after Zhou Ruolan's heart, determined to be Theft Cao, would anything like this have happened?
Seeing things getting awkward, Li Chuan rubbed his nose and said, "Madam Gao, actually, young people today pursue love freedom, betrothal by parents is a remnant of feudal society, we still need to respect the will of the people involved."
"Besides, let this painting be my apology."
He initially wanted to give this painting to Gao Jinyu, and now he just went along with it.
Moreover, he found that both Gao Jinyu and Gao Yuanyuan were quite reasonable. They didn't bla him for this incident but instead blad Han De for his incompetence.
Speaking of competence, how could Han De compare to him?
Hearing Li Chuan's words, a wry smile appeared on Gao Jinyu's face, "In that case, I will accept the Xi Mountain Traveling Picture, but it wouldn't be right to take it for nothing. Yuanyuan, transfer him the money as we agreed earlier."
Li Chuan hurriedly said, "No need, it's just a token of my goodwill."
Gao Jinyu was firm, "Let's keep emotional issues separate, but the money, we must give it."
Hearing this, Li Chuan stopped refusing.
Three thousand turned into six million in the blink of an eye; this was indeed easy money!
Just as Li Chuan was unsure of what to say, wanting to find an excuse to leave, Gao Jinyu suddenly let out a scream, clutching her stomach and slowly sitting down on a nearby chair, her pretty face full of pain.
