Alice's refusal to show Neil, including Picasso's sketches, was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face and made Neil angry!

Although Alice is the princess of the British royal family, as a constitutional monarchy, neither the princess, the prince, nor even the Queen of England has the right to dictate the decisions of the British Museum. So Neil doesn't have to worry about Alice at all. What's more, Princess Alice is only about thirty years old, more than twenty years younger than him, and this kind of practice is unbearable for him. At the same time, he also suspected that the famous paintings mentioned by Princess Alice were completely imaginary, and Picasso's famous paintings were not available in many museums, so this young Chinese man would have one? It's ridiculous, it's just a fantasy, maybe it's a high imitation, and it can fool Alice. The reason why I don't show it to myself is because I'm afraid of debunking it, right?

Despite his shame, Neil politely saluted Princess Alice, and left without eating.

Alice also had an ugly face, Neil didn't give her face at all, and her attempt to help Yu Fei failed.

On the contrary, Yu Fei, who was one of the parties involved, did not have the slightest expression of frustration, he lazily waved his hand at Neier, and said, "Go slowly, don't send it!" ”

Yu Fei originally wanted to say "It's too dark at night, be careful when walking" such a suggestive threatening remark, but after thinking about it, forget it, after all, it is a fall into the inferior grade.

When Neil was about to walk out the door, he was stunned!

Because he saw that bronze sculpture in the corner of the living room!

When Yu Fei brought these antiques that had just been picked up from the market in Bloomonse, the butler Bernie was going to send them to the underground collection room together. But Yu Fei felt that he had to go to the gambling contract and couldn't stay in England for a long time, and he had to take these things with him, and it was too inconvenient to move them around in the collection room, so he asked Bernie to put them in the living room.

In order not to be an eyesore, Bernie placed the bronze sculpture in a relatively hidden location, so Neil did not notice it when he entered the door. And when he was about to leave, he happened to see it because of the angle.

"This ......" Neil's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid. As a curator of the British Museum who has been dealing with antiques all his life. There are countless precious antiques he has seen in his life, and there are very few that can surprise him so much.

Neil's strange behavior was immediately noticed by Bernie, who was sending off the guests on the side.

"Mr. McGregor?" The butler shouted.

But Neil didn't seem to hear him at all, and walked a few steps to the front of the bronze sculpture. The greedy gaze seemed to be watching a girl with no clothes on, and he reached out to fumble it, but immediately put it down!

"Where did Her Highness get this precious sculpture?" Neil and Princess Alice have also had a few interactions, which can be regarded as some friendship. He had also had the pleasure of visiting Princess Alice's pantry before, but he hadn't seen the sculpture, so it was a bit strange.

In fact, the friendship between Alice and Neil is also one of the reasons why Princess Alice came forward to sit Neil and Yufira together, she originally thought that with her friendship with Neil, coupled with her own identity, Neil should give in, but she didn't expect that because of Neil's stubbornness. and Yu Fei's arrogance, in the end, this matter collapsed.

"So, you're too impulsive." Princess Alice said helplessly. Things have developed to such an extent that it is useless to say anything. But Alice still wanted to persuade Yu Fei a few words, with his character, he would definitely suffer in the future.

Yu Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe." But I really don't like this old man. ”

"Why?" Princess Alice asked curiously, "Just because he's the director of the British Museum?" ”

“。” Yu Fei said no three times in a row, and then said jokingly: "Mainly because he is not handsome enough." ”

Seeing Yu Fei's indifferent attitude, Princess Alice had no choice, this is a person who doesn't know what worry is at all. But the optimism in him is very contagious, and I always feel relaxed and happy with him.

At this moment, the door of the restaurant was violently pushed open.

"Bernie. What's going on? Princess Alice, who had her back to the door of the restaurant, frowned slightly. This way of breaking in without knocking on the door was very rude, and it also interrupted her conversation with Yu Fei. Because Neil had already left, Yu Fei walked next to Princess Alice, half of his ass was already sitting on the table, and the distance between the two was very close. Thankfully, nothing more intimate was made, otherwise it would have been completely exposed. So Princess Alice was very angry. Bernie is an old man. After working on the manor for decades, how can I forget this rule.

But Yu Fei, who was facing the door of the restaurant, said in surprise: "Neil?!" ”

Princess Alice turned her senses in surprise, Yu Fei was right, the person who suddenly broke in was not the butler Bernie, but Neil, the curator of the British Museum!

The grace of the old gentleman was now gone. He was desperate for an answer.

When he opened the door of the restaurant, he was surprised to find that Yu Fei and Princess Alice were sitting together in an extremely ambiguous posture, although there was no physical contact, but this familiar and informal attitude also made him instantly understand that the relationship between Yu Fei and Princess Alice was probably not so simple.

"Mr. McGregor? Is there something you can do? Princess Alice asked coldly. Her title has been changed to be formal and unfamiliar.

Neil heard it too, of course, but he didn't care, "Your Royal Highness the princess, where did you get the bronze sculpture in the living room?" ”

"Bronze sculptures?" It took Princess Alice twenty seconds to guess that the bronze sculpture Neil was talking about was the big guy Yu Fei had brought back from the Bermondse Market. How? Is there something wrong? Although she also thought the sculpture was a little weird, she didn't see anything unusual.

Princess Alice had also thought about asking Mr. Neil to identify the bronze sculpture before, but because the conversation was very unhappy, such a request was not spoken, I didn't expect Neil to see it himself, and with such an attitude, could it be that this bronze sculpture is really extraordinary?

Princess Alice glanced at Yu Fei, but found that although Yu Fei was also a little surprised, the degree was far less deep than herself, as if she had expected it, could it be that he already knew something?

"The bronze statue you mentioned does not belong to me, but to Mr. Yu Fei." Princess Alice said.

"What?!" Neil felt unacceptable that such a precious sculpture belonged to this young Chinese? How is this possible? If it weren't for Alice's expression being very serious and not fake, he would have thought that Princess Alice was joking on purpose.

"Mr. Yu, where did you get this sculpture?" Neil's attitude is no longer as arrogant as before, and he also believes that what Princess Alice said before should be true, and this young Chinese should indeed own Picasso's famous paintings. If that's the case, he's a great collector.

Neil's attitude became respectful, and Yu Fei didn't care about himself, and said lightly: "This bronze sculpture I just bought from the Bloomencer market. ”

"Permonsee's Market?" Neil was stunned for a moment, but then categorically vetoed: "Impossible, this is impossible, how can such a precious work of art be bought in the Bermonse antique market?" ”

Neil almost thought Yu Fei was joking with him.

At this point, Princess Alice had to come forward and say, "Neil, I know you find it difficult to accept, and in fact I am very surprised, because Mr. Yu Fei once bought more than ten famous European paintings at the Beremmonse market for four hundred pounds, including the sketches of Picasso. I know you may not believe in my level of appraisal, but these famous paintings have been appraised by Mr. Bafaya. ”

"What?!" Neil was almost overwhelmed by Alice's words, and it was crazy that he found a sketch of Picasso in the Bloomerce market. If it weren't for Princess Alice mentioning Buffaya, Neil wouldn't have believed it!

In Alice's description, the Bermondsey market is almost a huge treasure trove, but Neil is well aware that it is usually only a few low-quality antiques that are sold. High-value antiques only appear at major auctions.

Princess Alice understands Neil's attitude very well, and she was in the same mood when she first got the news.

"Mr. Curator, since you are so concerned about this bronze sculpture, you should know its origin, right? Who made it? Yu Fei asked.

And that's exactly what Alice wants to know. Both turned their gazes to Neil at the same time.
