"Good child, you are so thoughtful."
Actually, no matter what she gave, Mr. Cheng would like it, but now she directly presented Amy’s original work, which he absolutely loved.
Xiao Sheng had a tough life, marrying an ordinary man and sharing in many hardships.
Little did he expect that this niece would be so promising.
"Third Grandpa, you’re too kind."
Mr. Cheng made Chi Youyou quite puzzled; he had no animosity towards her, and his affection for these things didn’t seem fake at all.
If he was indeed pretending, then she had to say he would be the top human master of deception!
With such a contrast, Cheng Xueyi’s painting seed worthless.
"I heard she spent a lot of money buying it back, and it’s just a replica!"
"Didn’t expect her to be outdone by a bumpkin from Huaxia?"
"Keep your voice down, she’s got connections!"
"Who knows if it’s true, maybe it’s backed by the Cheng Family and the Song Family."
...
There were still those who didn’t believe it, after all, she could just have brought a basket of fruits on stage.
"Hey? Youyou, are these the fruits you brought up?"
That’s when George’s gaze fell on a basket nearby, since Mr. Cheng wouldn’t let him touch the painting, he had to find another interest.
"Yes, these are fruits my dad grew himself."
Chi Youyou didn’t think much of it, nodding her head, and then saw George pick up a cantaloupe from the basket.
"Isn’t this the Xiye cantaloupe? My grandson bought one for from the KM Auction, it tastes really good!"
Wow!
She ran into soone who recognized it!
Chi Youyou’s heart skipped a beat, she never expected the world to be so small, and to imdiately encounter soone who had bought a cantaloupe from the auction!
There’s no way to stay low key now.
"What kind of cantaloupe?"
Mr. Cheng asked the question everyone was thinking.
However, Cheng Xueyi suddenly rembered the few rare fruits that appeared at the auction that day; she found it amusing, no matter how rare, they’re just fruits, is it really worth that much money?
That day, she thought only fools would buy them!
Now she didn’t expect to et soone who did...
She sneaked a glance, but then it struck her that this exorbitantly priced fruit was grown by Chi Youyou’s dad!
What’s the deal?
Wasn’t her dad supposed to be a poor farr from Huaxia?
Hearing this, George gloated imnsely, boasting how his grandson was so filial, buying him all sorts of delicious fruits!
Only to receive an eye-roll from Mr. Cheng, "Our Youyou gave them to directly and they didn’t cost a thing!"
George: ...
Thousands of emotional blows!
This ti it was Mr. Cheng’s turn to be puzzled, were these cantaloupes really that expensive?
Wasn’t Chi Dayi supposed to be a poor guy!
Not only him, everyone present was taken aback, today’s gossip felt like a roller coaster, up and down!
"Is it true?"
"George wouldn’t lie!"
"Wasn’t it said that Ruosheng married a poor guy from Huaxia? Could his grown cantaloupes really fetch such a high price?"
"Exactly, it’s hard to believe, isn’t it!"
Many mbers of the Huaxia Chamber of Comrce were whispering amongst themselves, including several forr suitors of Cheng Ruosheng, they were bitter, Ruosheng gave up a forest for the sake of a poor guy!
Everyone present considered themselves more impressive than him!
But now hearing George’s words, their hearts were filled with jealousy, and they resolutely refused to believe it.
But just then, a voice suddenly ca from outside the hall, "Hey, Cheng, am I late... you... it’s Guangyi!"
