Chapter 81

The gift from the Li Family was certainly extraordinary. It was a brave troops made of a medium-high-level jade. Because the jade wasn't big, the size of the brave troops was limited, but it was still worth over ten million yuan.

When it was An Guangyao's turn, he took out The Pond and The People handed to him by Gu Ning.

Once the landscape painting was shown, the crowd became excited again. Wu Guanzhong was a famous modern artist, so most people had heard of his name.

They weren't shocked by the price of this painting, but its value. There were many things without a price tag after all.

???" What? Is it really Wu Guanzhong's landscape painting, The Pond and The People? Let me have a look!" An old man in his seventies was thrilled. He stood up walking over at once.

This man was the curator of the museum and the head of the Antiques Association, Gu Changjiang.

Gu Changjiang wasn't questioning the authenticity of this The Pond and The People in An Guangyao's hands. He merely couldn't wait to see it.

Qin Haozheng was also excited because he had a great interest in antiques and paintings too.

An Guangyao knew that Gu Changjiang was an important figure, so he gave the painting to him without delay. Qin Haozheng came near immediately, followed by other art lovers.

In the beginning, some didn't believe that it was real, because the authentic one was rare, but after a while, Gu Changjiang proved it was real.

He said, "A few years ago, The Snow of Peking was sold at the price of five million yuan. The Pond and The People must be more expensive than it!"

Knowing that everyone took a long breath. The price of this painting was higher than five million yuan.

At the same time, everyone believed An Guangyao sent this very valuable gift for an aim. He must be fawning on the Qin Family. Therefore, many people gave him an unkind look.

An Guangyao didn't mind though, but explained, " Master Qin, I assume you must already know that I've sold my company. Actually, this painting is from the real boss of Shenghua Real Estate. My boss coincidentally bought it with only a thousand yuan in the antique market. Please take it if you like it."

What? A thousand yuan?

Hearing that, everyone rounded their eyes in shock.

A thousand yuan to buy a valuable painting at the price of five million yuan? It was unbelievable!

If it was true, the real boss who had bought Shenghua Real Estate must be an outstanding person!

Haozheng" Ha-ha, I, of course, like it very much!" Qin Haozheng laughed. This gift was right up his alley! He didn't even want to disguise his happiness.

Although he was curious about who the real boss of Shenghua Real Estate was, he didn't ask the question. Since the real boss wanted to keep it a secret, he didn't bother to find out the answer.

The guests continued to show their gifts. Some also sent antiques at the price from hundreds of thousand yuan to several million yuan.

Although the price wasn't low, no other gift was more valuable than The Pond and The People. Gu Changjiang might have taken a look at the other gifts, but he wasn't as excited.

When the part of sending gifts almost ended, Gu Ning took her backpack from Mu Ke. She stepped back to where no one noticed her. Gu Ning opened her backpack exchanging what was in it with the gift she had prepared. She then returned with the gift in her hands leaving the backpack with Mu Ke again.

Qin Yifan paid attention to Gu Ning from time to time. He saw Gu Ning coming back with a wooden box in her hands. It was 20 centimetres wide, and 30 centimetres long. Without a doubt, it was the gift for his father.

He didn't expect that Gu Ning would be here with a present. It wasn't his intention.

Once Gu Ning walked ahead, everyone focused on her. Some were amazed. Some were appreciating her beauty, while some were jealous of her. Gu Ning ignored them directly.

Qin Haozheng didn't know Gu Ning. He only thought that she must be a well-educated girl from a noble family.

Gu Ning" Master Qin, it's so nice to meet you. My name's Gu Ning, a friend of Qin Yifan and Qin Zixun. It's my honour to be here tonight. Please allow me to represent my group of friends, may your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains!" Gu Ning said.

" Very well Thank you so much, Miss Gu," Qin Haozheng smiled.

Qin Yifan stepped forward to take the box. According to the rules, he needed to announce the name of the gift.

The minute Qin Yifan opened the box seeing the name on the card, he was astonished. He glanced at Gu Ning and her friends, then slightly raised his voice, "A glass with deer heads from the Qianlong Period in the Qing Dynasty."

Changjiang" What? Are you sure?" Hearing that, Gu Changjiang once again stood up all of a sudden. He immediately approached.

Qin Haozheng did the same thing.

People who had heard of the glass were all surprised. And those who hadn't heard of it knew that it must be very rare because Gu Changjiang was so thrilled.

Gu Changjiang held the glass in his hands carefully. He checked it for a long time with excitement on his face.

Although this glass was cheaper than The Pond and The People, it was as valuable as the landscape painting. It was an antique from the Qianlong period after all! And it was even in soft pastels.

Qin Zheng didn't believe that Gu Ning had paid for this glass because she was too poor to afford it. It must be the others who had bought it.

The party of sending gifts ended and the party went on, and everyone was enjoying it.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, a black armoured Mercedes was driving up not to fast but not slowly either. It was a moderate and calm pace.
