He also watched the live stream these past two days and learned about the substantial wealth of Anning’s house; the collection alone in that Capital mansion was worth more than his company.
Moreover, it was said that the mansion in the Capital wasn’t even the ancestral ho of the Sheng Family; their ancestral ho was in Qinghe.
The treasures in that ancestral ho were probably even more abundant.
Zou Huai De’s eyes turned red when he thought of this, red with envy.
He thought to himself, if he hadn’t killed Anning back then, all these things would have been his by now.
Would he still need to put so much effort into running his company? Would he still need to go out and socialize every day, putting on a show of smiles for everyone?
The connections of the Sheng Family were indeed substantial.
But regret was useless now, what’s done was done, there was no turning back.
Apart from regret, Zou Huai De was also a bit scared.
Because he knew what Anning was capable of.
He knew Sheng Anning was no easy foe; back then, it took him a great deal of effort to kill Anning, and he succeeded because Anning was unguarded. Otherwise...
Now that Anning was back alive, and it seed that she might have had so extraordinary experiences over these years, he didn’t know how she would deal with him in the future.
Thinking that Anning certainly wouldn’t let him off easily, Zou Huai De grew even more frightened.
After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly rushed ho.
He needed to think carefully, figure out a backup plan before Anning took action against him, to prepare for a possible coback.
Also, Zou Huai De thought of urging Zou Xuexuan to get engaged to Xiao Kai soon.
If he beca relatives with the Xiao Family, they wouldn’t ignore him if sothing happened.
Liu Yue i and Zou Xuexuan were also quite anxious at the mont.
Zou Xuexuan had just contacted Xiao Kai, but he hadn’t responded, which made her feel quite uneasy.
After knowing this, Liu Yue i consulted with Zou Xuexuan.
"Mr. Xiao loves famous calligraphy and paintings, especially those antique ones. I rember we just auctioned a peony painting not long ago; we could give it to Mr. Xiao, which will definitely earn you so face and favor."
Zou Xuexuan also thought this was a good idea.
She rembered there were so antique calligraphy and paintings at ho.
Since Liu Yue i considered herself to have a good background, and her grandfather was a historian, both Liu Yue i and her father Liu Xuan favored antique calligraphy and paintings.
After marrying Zou Huai De, the couple, looking to elevate their taste and to have topics for social interactions, also bought quite a lot.
Thinking of her family’s collection, and how Sheng Jingjing also turned her image around because of a few antiques, Zou Xuexuan had so ideas.
She sweet-talked Liu Yue i for a while, and Liu Yue i agreed to take out so collections.
Zou Xuexuan chose a Moonlit Night Painting, took a photo from a good angle, and posted it on social dia.
She also provided a description of the painting’s origins and its artist.
This Moonlit Night Painting was quite famous; it was created by a talented scholar from over eight hundred years ago, known in history as Yin Song.
Zou Xuexuan explained the history of the Moonlit Night Painting, and many fans liked it, praising the painting and comnding Zou Xuexuan for her historical heritage.
Many were envious of Zou Xuexuan, constantly flattering her on social dia.
Zou Xuexuan was quite proud of herself, thinking she had done the right thing.
But after about ten minutes, Zou Xuexuan couldn’t smile anymore.
Because Anning and Sheng Jingjing had retweeted her post, especially Anning, who comnted that the painting was fake, not an authentic work of Yin Song.
Then, Zou Xuexuan’s fans got angry, went to Anning’s social dia to make a fuss, demanding that Anning apologize to Zou Xuexuan, criticizing Anning for calling the painting fake without clear evidence as she hadn’t even seen Zou Xuexuan’s actual painting, only a photo, which they claid was too arbitrary.
But what followed shocked many.
First, several social dia influencers retweeted Anning’s post, supporting her judgnt.
Moreover, Yue Haichang liked Anning’s post and made a comnt.
If Ms. Sheng says the painting is fake, it must be fake.
This statent confused people even more.
In addition to Yue Haichang, several historians also liked the post, and a famous Peking Opera artist did as well.
This made netizens feel that the whole situation was bizarrely unfolding.
Zou Xuexuan’s fans kept defending her, incessantly demanding Anning to co forward and explain.
"Don’t think just because many people support you that we’re afraid to speak out, we stand with the truth, your actions are too arbitrary, please co forward to explain."
"Please explain."
"Don’t deny our Xuanxuan entirely just because of personal grievances; it’s not fair."
"We hope you can explain clearly."
Anning remained unresponsive throughout and appeared very calm.
Then, about an hour later, Sheng Jingjing posted on social dia.
She made an explanation regarding the matter.
Sheng Jingjing’s post was a piece of text.
"Those familiar with history know Yin Song had a good friend nad Sheng Lai, and historians should also know that Yin Song once painted a Moonlit Night Painting and imdiately gifted it to his friend Sheng Lai, who is my ancestor. This painting has been preserved in my family and is still sealed in our family’s vault. So, where did Miss Zou’s Moonlit Night Painting co from? Is there any inheritance explanation? The reason why my mother decided that Miss Zou’s Moonlit Night Painting is fake is because the authentic one has always been in our ho. I hope this clarifies things for everyone."
Besides this text, Sheng Jingjing seed quite annoyed and added a few more sentences.
"Aside from the Moonlit Night Painting, our family owns other works by Yin Song; if anyone wants to challenge us, please reconsider and do not bring out fake paintings to make a fool of themselves."
Then...
Zou Xuexuan’s fans were utterly dumbfounded.
While the fans of Sheng Jingjing and Anning went wild online, flooding the internet with laughter and emojis, 2333.
