"Amy’s painting?"
"No way, did I hear that right? Did the old man...not make a mistake?"
"This...this can’t be true! Even Cheng Xueyi only managed to get a copy..."
The chatter in the banquet hall rose and fell, with all sorts of comnts.
Basically, no one believed this was true, and so even suspected Mr. Cheng had beco senile. Of course, they’d never say that out loud.
"Old Cheng, are you kidding us?"
At that mont, a foreign man of similar age to Mr. Cheng ca forward, his eyes glued to the painting in his hands.
Mr. Cheng clutched the painting tightly like it was a cherished possession, "Go away, you’re just jealous!"
"No, I won’t fight you for it. Can’t you let share in the glory?"
The old man chuckled as he leaned in closer.
"Is that the renowned painter George?"
"Yes! He’s an old buddy of Mr. Cheng."
"If he says it’s Amy’s painting, then it’s almost certainly real!"
"Shh, let’s see what happens first."
...
Cheng Xueyi stared at the blond foreign man approaching, edging closer to get a clearer view.
"Hmph, you can look but not touch!"
Mr. Cheng treated it like a treasure, thinking for a long mont before agreeing, and he even added a condition.
"Okay, whatever you say!"
The old man shot him a look; he spoke Huaxia perfectly, indistinguishable from a native when communicating with Mr. Cheng.
Everyone craned their necks in curiosity, except for Cheng Shujin and a few others who remained perfectly composed.
Amy herself is right at ho!
Everyone was acting like they’d never seen the world before!
At this mont, Cheng Shujin felt especially proud.
Zhou Junyi, standing next to her, was also very curious. Though she didn’t understand much about these things, she knew Amy’s paintings were incredibly valuable.
Her full attention was on the stage, completely missing her son’s prideful deanor beside her.
"This...this painting is incredible! It must be from her ti on the border of L Country! Judging by the mood, there’s no mistaking it!"
While in L Country, Amy completed three pieces, one of which, called Desolation, fetched fifty million at the Y Country auction!
The other two works never resurfaced.
Who would have thought they’d appear today!
Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.
It’s real!
Even the way they looked at Chi Youyou changed.
This is Amy’s painting, and sotis money alone can’t even buy it!
Cheng Xueyi felt her head spinning, light-headed and dazed.
But so people still speculated.
"Could it be the Cheng Family did this to boost her image?"
"It’s possible. Maybe even the Song Family is involved. After all, calling soone a country bumpkin isn’t flattering!"
"Right, they must be polishing her background, or it’s too embarrassing!"
...
"Your niece is really impressive!"
George brushed aside the jealous remarks, beaming as he praised Chi Youyou, "Do you need a grandfather too? You wouldn’t mind another one, would you?"
Everyone: !!!
Chi Youyou quickly snapped out of it and shyly explained, "Actually, it wasn’t entirely my effort. My senior brother helped find it."
"Your senior brother?"
"Yes, he’s the head of KM Auction."
Blaming it on her senior brother was the best move~
KM Auction!
No wonder!
The crowd once again felt the blow!
Those who had just claid that the Cheng Family was gilding her were publicly slapped in the face!
