"Ye Nan Cheng!" Upon seeing him, Su Chang Hao's eyes blazed with anger.
He still held a grudge about what happened at the family banquet.
Although, because of the Lu family's protection, he couldn't directly attack Ye Nan Cheng,
he had secretly used many insidious methods.
However, without exception,
Ye Nan Cheng easily neutralized them all.
He even helped Ye Nan Cheng gain many connections.
How could he not be furious?
And now, he dared to approach his fiancée?
"Ye Nan Cheng, you little brat, you dare to harass my fiancée? I think you're tired of living!"
Ye Nan Cheng, however, arrogantly retorted, "Want to touch me? You're probably not qualified!"
Just as the two were arguing fiercely,
Lin Wanru's voice rang out: "If you two want to argue, go outside! What kind of noise is this in my house!"
Hearing this, the two immediately calmed down considerably.
Then, Ye Nancheng explained his purpose.
It turned out he had also heard about the birthday celebration.
Therefore, he had come specifically to bring an antique calligraphy painting to Lin Wanru.
He took out the painting: "Wanru, this is an authentic calligraphy by Dongpo, a rare find in the world. It should be able to help you!"
Seeing the painting, Su Changhao began to speak sarcastically.
"An authentic calligraphy by Dongpo? Haha, I bet you bought it from some flower stall for nearly 110 yuan!"
Ye Nancheng said indifferently: "I have no reason to deceive you."
Tuo Changhao laughed and said, "Then why don't I find someone to authenticate it?"
"I don't believe it either. You, a powerless, penniless wretch, could possibly obtain the authentic calligraphy of the Dongpo scholar!"
At this point, Zhou Yi roughly understood.
The subsequent development was probably Tuo Changhao finding a master to authenticate it.
The authentication results confirmed it was authentic.
Tuo Changhao's questioning failed, and the Dragon King's pretense was successful.
Then, according to the initial development, Lin Wanru, with the Dragon King's help, successfully rose to power.
Her favorability towards the Dragon King would also increase significantly.
However, this was only the beginning.
The current development is completely different.
Her authentic calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty scholar Yan Zhenqing is enough to crush them!
As for Lin Wanru's favorability?
Of course, she'll get it!
As expected, Su Changhao sought out an appraiser.
The result was that the appraiser, Mr. Fang, confirmed it was an authentic handwriting, immediately expressing his astonishment and declaring it a true treasure.
Su Changhao was also dumbfounded.
He never imagined that
Ye Nancheng could produce something so valuable.
He felt his own status diminished.
His gaze towards Ye Nancheng grew even more disgusted, seemingly plotting to harm him.
Just as Zhou Yi thought the matter was about to end,
Suddenly, Lin Wanru spoke up.
"Master Fang, you must be a professional in the field of treasure appraisal, right?"
Master Fang nodded: "That's right, in Dongling City, I'm second to none!"
"I wouldn't dare say my appraisal of treasures is 100% accurate, but 99% of the time it's correct!"
Lin Wanru nodded: "Then I also have something I'd like you to help appraise. I wonder if that's possible?"
She was referring to the calligraphy painting of Zhou Yi.
Although she didn't quite believe it was Yan Zhenqing's authentic handwriting,
perhaps it was a later imitation?
To be able to produce such a painting, it would be considered that the old scoundrel hadn't gotten his hands on her.
"If it's true, then I won't blame him."
"Then I'll fulfill my previous promise and... I'll quickly fulfill my three promises..."
Lin Wanru thought about it again and again, feeling a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, she realized.
Why was she agonizing over this kind of thing?
Right now, this situation is equivalent to me eagerly anticipating a conversation with Old Man Xu, isn't it?
No, no, I need to quickly forget about it!
I just wish that rotten old man wouldn't mention it, otherwise I'll still blame him!
I don't have any feelings for him at all!
Her thoughts were, of course, unknown to the others.
Upon learning that Lin Wanru wanted to authenticate Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, Master Fang nodded and said,
"Hmm, that's no problem. I've looked at Yan Zhenqing's forgery, I know its characteristics, and the authentication shouldn't be difficult."
Then, the group spread out the calligraphy painting.
Master Fang took out his professional authentication tools and carefully examined it.
However, for some reason, after looking at it for a while, he suddenly shook his head repeatedly, his eyebrows furrowed.
Upon seeing it, Lin Wanru immediately felt a bad premonition.
"Damn it, this isn't even a fake, it's a complete counterfeit!"
"That rotten old man, how dare he deceive me like this?"
Just as Lin Wanru was feeling anxious,
a second later, she heard Master Fang suddenly exclaim: "Authentic handwriting! This could actually be authentic handwriting!"
"This is Yan Zhenqing's authentic handwriting!"
"What did you say? An authentic handwriting?!"
Hearing this, Lin Wanru was completely stunned.
Master Fang nodded slightly: "That's right!"
"Whether judging from the brushstrokes, the artistic conception, the ink used, the paper quality, or other aspects..."
"This is undoubtedly the authentic handwriting of the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Yan Zhenqing!"
Lin Wanru's beautiful eyes widened.
She had originally thought that the old man had brought out at most a fake.
Who would have thought it was an authentic handwriting!
In that case, the value of this calligraphy simply far exceeds imagination!
Calling it a national treasure is probably not enough!
Beside her, Su Changhao was equally dumbfounded.
"My goodness, Wanru, you're so willing to spend so much money to use Yan Zhenqing's authentic handwriting as a birthday gift!"
"This piece of calligraphy is so exquisite, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the entire Southern Province who could produce something like this!"
He praised Lin Wanru, then glanced at Ye Nancheng with a smug look.
It seemed he was pleased that the other party's plan had failed.
However, Ye Nancheng didn't react to him.
After learning the value of this painting, even this Dragon King couldn't help but fall silent.
"Even I would find it difficult to obtain this calligraphy."
"She actually managed to get it..."
At this moment, Su Changhao suddenly asked, "By the way, Wanru, where did you get this calligraphy?"
Where did she get it from?
Lin Wanru was startled, her peripheral vision glancing at Zhou Yi.
Then, fearing being noticed, she quickly shifted away.
She couldn't say.
"Is this what I obtained by cooperating with Old Man Xu in the infiltration and exchange?"
She hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Well, I had someone bring it back from overseas."
"It cost me a lot of money. I originally thought it was fake, but it turned out to be... real."
Su Changhao nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"If someone saw through it, it would probably be difficult to get your hands on it."
"This kind of national treasure calligraphy is something that even money can't buy. You've made a huge profit!"
A huge profit?
Lin Wanru felt something was off.
She pretended to casually glance to the side, and suddenly saw Zhou Yi giving her a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
He was still making a "three" gesture with his hand.
His meaning was obvious.
Lin Wanru secretly scoffed at him, her face flushing slightly.
Su Changhao suddenly exclaimed, "Oh? Wanru, why didn't you get compensation for this calligraphy?"
"How about I take you to find a master to compensate you?"
Lin Wanru regained her composure: "Ah, then let's do as you say."
Seeing that there was nothing for him to say, Ye Nancheng took his leave.
Before leaving, Su Changhao didn't forget to mock him.
"Ye, Lin Wanru is my woman. If you dare to plot against her again, you'll be dead!"
Ye Nancheng provocatively glanced at Su Changhao.
"That's not necessarily true! That depends on Wanru's own thoughts!"
After saying that, he left immediately.
Seeing the two of them clashing fiercely, Zhou Yi just smiled without saying anything.
You two, what are you arguing about?
Your house was already completely ransacked by me, you wouldn't even know it.
Then, Su Changhao greeted Lin Wanru and got into the car, intending to take her to find that master calligrapher.
At the same time, Zhou Yi received a system notification.
[Ding! A brand new special location has been detected: Su Changhao's Bentley!]
[Interacting in this special location can double your lifespan!]
Zhou Yi suddenly had an idea...
...
Shortly after, Su Changhao arrived with Lin Wanru.
He glanced at Zhou Yi behind him with a hint of helplessness.
He didn't expect this old man to come along too.
I originally intended to refuse, but somehow Lin Wanru agreed to bring this old man along.
He even thought he could use this opportunity to go shopping with Lin Wanru.
Now that such a big old light bulb is here...
How can we go shopping?
Okay, let's just get this done quickly!
So, Su Changhao volunteered, letting Lin Wanru sit in the car while he went down to handle the calligraphy and painting matter.
After watching Su Changhao leave, Lin Wanru asked Zhou Yi.
"Hey old man, how did you get that calligraphy?"
"Such a rare item, I'm afraid it cost a lot, right?"
Zhou Yi chuckled after hearing this.
"That's just an insignificant little toy among my collection!"
Insignificant? A little toy?
"A national treasure of calligraphy, and you're talking about it so casually?"
"Listen to yourself, is that even human speech?"
Lin Wanru felt like hitting Zhou Yi right now.
At this moment, Zhou Yi approached her.
"Lin girl, I didn't break my promise, did I?"
Lin Wanru understood Zhou Yi well, knowing he was definitely here to demand that she fulfill her promise.
She hesitated a little: "Of course not, when we get back... When we get back, I'll be with you..."
The more she spoke, the more awkward she became.
But Chu Yi's words surprised her.
"No need to go back, I think this car is pretty good."
"Otherwise, let's just stay here!"
