Chapter 517: Bet
Seeing that the boss was already annoyed, Ye Xuan did not continue to interrogate.
He carefully rolled up the scroll, put it back into the brocade box, and smiled at the old woman: "Auntie, I want this painting, I will give 500,000!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden gasp from the crowd of onlookers.
Some people looked at Ye Xuan with the eyes of a fool, and some even sneered at the corners of their mouths.
"Haha, this person is a fool, this kind of painting that is not worth 2,000 yuan, he actually wants to buy it for 500,000 yuan, I heard it right?"
"You heard it right, this is a rich second generation with a lot of money and stupidity, haven't you seen his girlfriend look so beautiful?
"It makes sense, I must be trying to pretend to be forced in front of beautiful women, what a big dog!"
……
Ye Xuan didn't listen to these words, but helped the old woman up from the ground.
"Young man, you are ......"
The old woman's eyes were also wide, and she was extremely shocked and puzzled.
Although she firmly believed that her painting was real, she never expected that it would be worth 500,000!
What is the concept of half a million?
That means that after she cures her grandson's illness, as long as she is not extravagant and wasteful, her grandson's entire tuition from primary school to university can also be solved.
Seeing the old woman looking at him in shock, Ye Xuan touched his nose and said with a smile: "Auntie, let me tell you the truth, your painting is far more than 500,000, and the price I paid for 500,000 yuan is actually my bank card, which only has so much money." ”
"If you're not in a hurry, I can ask a friend to help me send a card over, this painting, even if you want five million, I'll buy it!"
Ye Xuan's words were shocked again, and the sneers on the corners of those who watched the excitement were already stiff.
They really didn't understand, what did Ye Xuan think, he asked for five million for a painting that no one wanted for two thousand yuan?
This is no longer a loser, this is completely charity!
Ye Xuan didn't care what everyone thought, he was willing to spend so much money to buy this painting, it was definitely not just a matter of kindness.
Under his careful observation just now, he found that on the surface of this "Travels to the Mountains Behind Liuzhuang", there were wisps of emerald green fluorescence circulating.
This kind of thing is invisible to others, only he can see it, because he has a unique Nine Dragons Holy Body in the whole world.
It was this physique that allowed him to cultivate the Nine Dragons Sutra.
It is precisely this physique that gives him the ability to "devour spirits".
The last time he swallowed the spirit, he went to the Red Maple Club with Xu Feirong and auctioned an ancient painting scroll, that time he devoured the "spirit" on the scroll, and the Nine Dragons Sutra broke through directly, that kind of smooth taste, and now he is a little nostalgic.
It's a pity that there are too few "spirits" on the earth today, and it took him so long before he encountered an item with a "spirit" for the second time.
To Ye Xuan's surprise, this time the "spirit" was still attached to a painting.
What surprised him even more was that he encountered this kind of "spirit" item twice, and Zhou Xinya was present.
Could it be that this chick is his lucky star?
Ye Xuan pondered in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.
However, this smile, in the eyes of everyone, became a kind of smirk.
They all shook their heads and looked at Ye Xuan with a look of pity.
"Cut...... I thought this guy was some kind of rich second generation, but now that I look at it, I guess it's a mental illness, right?"
"That is, it's worth five million, why didn't he say it was worth fifty million?"
"Hey, look, Master Gao is here, now it's okay, let him slap this kid in the face!"
At this time, the crowd watching the excitement suddenly dispersed to both sides.
A middle-aged man with pale temples and black-rimmed glasses appeared.
He was fat and had a big belly as if he was ten months pregnant.
At this time, he walked in with his hands behind his back and with an arrogant face.
"I heard that someone wants to spend five million to buy a fake painting, Gao is a little curious, which young master is it, so don't treat money as money?"
Gao Chen walked in slowly, his eyes swept over several people in the store.
When she saw Zhou Xinya, the heat in her eyes suddenly appeared, and it was difficult to hide.
But as soon as he thought of his identity, he immediately coughed dryly twice, pinched his throat and asked.
Ye Xuan glanced at him and pouted, "Who are you?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd.
"Young man, this is our country's first-class treasure connoisseur, Master Gao Chengao, what he has seen in his palm, there have been no mistakes a few times!"
"That's it, he said that this painting is fake, then it must be fake, don't be stupid, spend five million to buy this kind of thing!"
"Don't persuade him, how and how others want to spend their money, can you manage it?"
……
After listening to those people's words, Ye Xuan nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are that Master Gao?"
"It's despicable!"
Gao Chen raised his neck and said in a smug tone.
He glanced at the brocade box in Ye Xuan's hand, let out a light snort between his noses, and sneered: "Young man, I have already identified this painting, it is fake." ”
"If you want to spend five million for this kind of painting, you might as well use the money to do charity, why give the money to such an old liar?"
Gao Chen said, and glanced at the old woman sneeringly.
The old woman's thin body trembled, shook her head and said, "I'm not a liar, I'm really not a liar!"
"Auntie, don't worry, I believe you are not a liar. Ye Xuan patted the old woman's arm and said with a smile.
Then, he turned his gaze to Gao Chen, squinted his eyes and said, "Master Gao, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Bet?"
Gao Chen's nostrils were pointed at Ye Xuan, and he sneered: "What are you going to bet on me, bet on the authenticity of this painting?"
"That's right!" Ye Xuan said categorically.
"Hahaha!"
When the onlookers heard his words, they burst into laughter.
Ye Xuan didn't care, just looked at Gao Chen provocatively.
Gao Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, since you want to bet, then I'll make a bet with you, but what's the bet?"
Ye Xuan thought for a while and said, "If I win, this painting will belong to me, but the five million to buy this painting will have to be paid by you!"
"No problem!"
As soon as Ye Xuan's words fell, Gao Chen readily agreed, "But what if you lose?"
"If I lose...... Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, "Today, you can pick four items on this antique street at random, no matter the price, I will pay for it!"
Hearing this, everyone's laughter was a little lighter.
In the final analysis, they will laugh at Ye Xuan, but they just think that Ye Xuan is stupid and has a lot of money.
But when a person has a certain amount of money, no matter how stupid he is, no one dares to laugh at him.
At this moment, Ye Xuan played such a role.
This antique street is said to have produced a tea bowl in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been auctioned for nearly 100 million yuan!
So if Gao Chen finally picked out four incredible antiques, and Ye Xuan came to pay for them, wouldn't it be hundreds of millions of them gone?
But Ye Xuan was able to make this kind of promise without changing his face, which showed that he was not short of money at all.
Such a super tyrant is not something they can laugh at wantonly.
Hearing Ye Xuan's condition, Gao Chen frowned and shook his head.
Just when everyone was puzzled, he said: "I have a lot of antiques at home, and I don't lack money to buy antiques, I don't need you to pay for me at all, this bet is not attractive to me." ”
"Then what do you want?" Ye Xuan asked.
Gao Chen smiled, and turned his gaze to Zhou Xinya, who was standing behind Ye Xuan and had a cold face.
"I Gao Chen loves antiques and beauties, and it has long been a good story in the circle, if you really want to bet with me, of course I dare to take it, as for this bet......"
Gao Chen smiled lewdly, stared at Zhou Xinya and said, "If you lose, just give me this beauty, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of chuckles from the crowd.
Indeed, Gao Chen's lust is well-known in the antique circle.
But others have the ability, so his shortcoming was generously tolerated by everyone.
Seeing him staring at Zhou Xinya at this time, everyone didn't show much surprise on their faces.
But Ye Xuan was not happy, he had never been in the habit of taking his woman as a bet!
This is not only a manifestation of irresponsibility, but also a blasphemy of the feelings of both parties.
Just when he was about to say no!
Zhou Xinya suddenly grabbed his hand, only to see the woman take a step forward, her expression was indifferent, and she said indifferently: "Okay!"
