Chapter 317
Hearing what Gu Ning had just said, Leng Shaoting was cheered up at once . He didn’t mind Gu Ning taking his properties as her own at all . “Well, then I’ll take the gift on behalf of grandpa . ”
After that, they went back to the house . Before long, the news that someone had cut out the King’s Green went across the street of stone gambling . Many people were shocked as well as jealous .
When it was time for dinner, Leng Shaoting cooked for Gu Ning at the house . Gu Ning was on her period now, so Leng Shaoting persuaded her to rest a bit more . Nevertheless, even if she wasn’t on her period, he would still be willing to cook for her . Leng Shaoting was a great cook; even better than Gu Ning .
During the meal, Leng Shaoting’s phone rang all of a sudden . The caller was Xu Jinchen . Xu Jinchen invited them to attend an auction at 2 pm tomorrow afternoon .
Gu Ning heard that and was excited . She asked Xu Jinchen whether she would have a chance to put her objects up for the auction . In fact, Gu Ning just wanted to sell her ancient objects for fun, not for money .
“Do you have antiques as well? What is it?” Xu Jinchen asked with curiosity .
Gu Ning thought for a second before she said, “An Official Kiln Writing-brush Washer . ” She just wanted to attend the auction for fun, so she didn’t want to put an object that was too expensive up for it .
“No problem,” Xu Jinchen answered with alacrity . He knew little about antiques, thus he didn’t ask further about the Official Kiln Writing-brush Washer . At the auction, there was an appraiser who was responsible to evaluate the objects anyway . Of course, the appraisers weren’t always right, so occasionally there would be replicas . Some of them looked so real, and many experts failed to tell the difference from real ones . However, before the auction, potential buyers could check the object themselves and so they would be responsible for their own choice . The auction house didn’t need to bear any responsibility, and its reputation wouldn’t be damaged because that was the rule in this industry .
A few minutes later, Master Leng called Leng Shaoting again talking about the auction too .
Master Leng was an antique lover, so he was interested in the auction . He asked Leng Shaoting whether he was free tomorrow to keep him company . There was one of Xu Beihong’s paintings at the auction, and he wanted to buy it .
Leng Shaoting directly replied that he wasn’t free tomorrow, because he was going to attend the auction with Gu Ning . However, he didn’t tell his grandpa the reason . Otherwise, his grandpa would definitely come to meet them .
To stop his grandpa from coming, Leng Shaoting said, “If you want the painting, I can buy it for you . It’ll be crowded at the auction, so I think that it would be better if you stayed at home . ”
“I have to check it myself! What if it’s fake? I don’t want to waste money,” Master Leng said .
“Well, I can give you a better calligraphy than Xu Beihong’s painting, so you don’t need to attend the auction,” Leng Shaoting said . He was trying every method to stop Master Leng from coming .
“Do you want Xu Beihong’s painting, or Zhao Mengfu’s Luo Shen Fu?” Leng Shaoting asked .
“What?” Master Leng was astonished and excited . “Are you sure that you have Luo Shen Fu?”
“Yes,” Leng Shaoting said .
With Leng Shaoting’s affirmative answer, Master Leng was more than excited now . He couldn’t wait to get it . “Give it to me right now!”
“I promise that I’ll bring it to you later . ” Since Leng Shaoting mentioned Luo Shen Fu, he planned to send the gift to his grandpa today . Leng Shaoting understood his grandpa’s personality well . If he didn’t get the calligraphy, he wouldn’t sleep at night, and Leng Shaoting didn’t want his grandpa to stay up late . His grandpa was elderly after all .
“When? No, you must bring it to me as soon as possible!” Master Leng demanded .
“I’m eating now; I’ll bring it to you after that . ”
“Great! Don’t waste your time eating and bring it to me as quickly as you can!” Master Leng urged .
Leng Shaoting hung up the call and told Gu Ning he was going to leave for a while . Gu Ning heard the conversation between them and didn’t mind . After the meal, Leng Shaoting went back to the Leng Family’s house with the calligraphy and the King’s Green in his hands .
Gu Ning then sent messages to Lu Zhan and Duan Lixin, telling them that she had already settled the office building and the new company . Lu Zhan and Duan Lixin both relaxed after reading Gu Ning’s message . From now on, they would work for Fenghua Entertainment . Of course, they needed to sign contracts first .
In the Leng Family’s house, Master Leng was anxiously waiting for Leng Shaoting, and told the housekeeper to check outside all the time to see whether Leng Shaoting was back home . .
It was past 7 pm, so Leng Yuanqian’s family and Leng Yuanzhen’s family were all in the house with Master Leng . They knew that Master Leng was restless because of Leng Shaoting, so Leng Yuanqian’s family was displeased . In their eyes, Leng Shaoting was an outsider, even though he was Master Leng’s eldest grandson .
“Grandpa, Shaoting just visited you yesterday . Why are you so excited now?” Leng Shaoxun asked with curiosity . Not only Leng Shaoxun, but everyone else was also curious . They had never seen Master Leng being so restless with excitement just because Leng Shaoting was coming back .
“Shaoting is going to give me the Luo Shen Fu! It’s a priceless calligraphy!” Master Leng replied with happiness . He also didn’t hide his appreciation towards Leng Shaoting, which made Leng Yuanqian’s family feel dissatisfied . However, they had to admit that Leng Shaoting was very able to be able to get Zhao Mengfu’s Luo Shen Fu . They all knew that Master Leng was an antique lover, and everyone wanted to gain his favor . Unfortunately, it was so hard to find a real one nowadays even if you had enough money .
“I don’t think that it’s a big deal . It’s just a valueless piece of calligraphy,” Leng Shaojia said with disdain . She was obviously annoyed .
“Shaojia, mind your words!” Leng Yuanqian criticized . They all knew that Master Leng was an antique lover, and her words would definitely anger Master Leng .
