Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lady Picture

This time, Yuchen did not go as a spectator, but as a patter.

Last night, when Yuchen received the invitation, he decided to go.

He took a fancy to an old painting and wanted to buy it a few years ago, but for some reason, he couldn't go to the scene, thinking that he had been taken away, and for some reason, he appeared at the auction again, of course he couldn't miss this opportunity.

An Xia was ushered into a comfortable and antique box on the second floor, the leather sofa was quite soft to sit on, snacks, cakes were everything, and even a handsome maid wearing a cheongsam and looking good was waiting around.

From here, you can see the center of the stage at a glance, and it doesn't fit in with the noise below, and it looks like an official, but in fact, only the people in the VIP box are the customers that the auction house really values.

Although it was the first time for An Xia to come, because she had already seen that kind of scene last time, she seemed a little calmer.

Yu Chen glanced at the way she was sitting precariously, hooked the corners of her lips, and let the two people on the left and right leave.

Without outsiders, Anxia felt a lot more comfortable.

"Eat grapes?"

Yu Chen picked up a bunch of grapes from the table and handed it over.

Anxia took it and stuffed it into her mouth one by one, looking like a little squirrel, her cheeks bulging one by one.

Halfway through eating, she found that Yu Chen's gaze had been on her, and she turned her head to look at her in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine."

Seeing this, Anxia continued to eat grapes.

Yu Chen glanced at his hand and wanted to pinch it.

……

"Xiao Xiao, there are a lot of fish and dragons here, who knows if there are any unclean things here, if you want something, can't you just let someone shoot it back for you, and you might just come here in person?" Xie Yu frowned and looked at the restless crowd downstairs with disgust.

A group of uninformed people, it makes people unappetizing when they see it.

"It's grandpa's birthday in a few days, I'm bound to get "Eighteen Ladies", if you feel uncomfortable, you can go back first." Han Xiaoxiao knew his friend's virtue, and said as usual.

When Xie Yu heard the word grandfather, he knew Han Xiaoxiao's temper.

Han Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of the Han family, arrogant, indifferent, but very filial.

Grandpa Han's favorite collection is antique calligraphy and painting, and it will be Grandpa Han's birthday in a few days, and she will stay here for her grandfather to take pictures in person.

"I can't help you, I can only accompany you."

……

"Do you have a favorite?" Yuchen unfastened the cufflinks on his hand and asked Anxia.

"Hmm...... These are too expensive for me to afford. She said with a big grin, and she didn't feel ashamed, and she didn't feel that she had no money as a bad thing.

Having said that, Yu Chen could tell that her gaze kept wandering on the fifth page.

"Do you know this picture of a lady?" Yu Chen was interested, it was the first time I had seen her so interested in something.

"I don't like it, I just think it's amazing, the painting skills and meanings in it are very profound, I'm just a layman, and I don't know how to appreciate paintings, I just think it's really good."

She was a little surprised that a man would say that, but she still confessed obediently.

"Hmm."

After the auction began, the people downstairs competed.

And Yuchen sometimes casually explained the origin of these antiques to An Xia, and told her how to identify the real and fake, which can be described as extremely meticulous.

When it was the turn of the eighteen ladies and women, it was already at its climax.

"This "Eighteen Ladies" is painted by the Tang Dynasty painter Yuan Ming, depicting the landscape of the Tang Dynasty, this painting once crossed the sea to go overseas, fortunately was brought back by our owner, and then has been preserved here, with a starting price of 30 million."

"100 million." Yuchen said lazily.

An Xia opened her mouth in astonishment, "Isn't 100 million too high?" ”

"The value of the lady picture lies not in the painting itself, but in its history, which has traveled to many countries and has been regarded as a first-class cultural relics in the exhibition hall by countless countries, so its value is far beyond the painting itself." Yu Chen explained lightly.

An Xia was relieved, she thought that Yuchen had taken it for her.

"100 million! 100 million once, 100 million ......"

"150 million!" A cold female voice came from the box opposite, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with the other party's direct increase to 100 million.

There was an uproar at the bottom, although these people were not bad for money, but 150 million was not a small amount, and after looking at each other, they directly chose to give up.

"Two hundred million." Yu Chen didn't raise his head, and even made himself a cup of tea with great interest, the tea here is mellow and delicious, the entrance is faintly sweet, and he tasted the tea slowly.

"Xiao Xiao, did the person on the other side know what we want and deliberately go against us? Has anyone raised the price by 50 million at a time? It's not such a way to spend money! Xie Yu complained a few words, although their family has money, but they don't have much liquidity, and what they need is pocket money from their parents.

Han Xiaoxiao's face was not good-looking, she had prepared a lot for this picture, and inquired in advance, this painting was worth up to 50 million, but she didn't expect a dark horse to appear in the sky and cut off the beard directly.

She thought that even if someone wanted it, for the sake of the Han family's face, they would give it to her, but she didn't know who the person in the van was, and she didn't even give their Han family's face.

"Two hundred and ten million!" Han Xiaoxiao raised his card.

Xie Yu opened his mouth in shock, "You are crazy, such a broken painting is not worth so much, the person opposite is definitely deliberately raising the price, don't fall for it." ”

"I'm sober now." Han Xiaoxiao glanced at her lightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right. "People who say they are sober are doing things that are not sober.

"Do you like this painting very much?" It was the first time for An Xia to see the wealthy people around her.

"So-so." Yu Chen said.

An Xia almost spit out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, "For an ordinary painting, you directly bid from 30 million to 200 million?" ”

"The other party doesn't really want it, and he hasn't given up." Although the woman's voice was cold, An Xia could hear a trace of anxiety from it.

"Well, when she started bidding for tens of millions, she had already fallen behind, and she would lose this time." The old god Yuchen is here, and there is no change because of this tense atmosphere.

Sure enough, it was finally sold at Yuchen's sky-high price of 400 million.

Anxia, "......"

She felt that the world of rich people was still too far away from her.

The people on the first floor were enthusiastic when they heard the shouting, and they were discussing, "The voice is coming from upstairs, right?" ”

"Isn't it, to be a VIP of Feiyu Pavilion, it's not small, but I don't know who this one is upstairs."

"I heard that it seems to be the ...... of the Yu family"

"If it's the Yu family, it's reasonable."

Afterwards, the auction house respectfully sent the painting over.

This picture of a sky-high lady with a price of hundreds of millions of dollars was carefully placed in a roll, and the roll was placed in a box made of rosewood, and half of the wisteria pattern was engraved around the rosewood, and the hands of the visitors were carefully presented.

An Xia sighed, sure enough, it was a sky-high painting, and it was much higher than ordinary paintings.

Yu Chen's chin raised at An Xia, "Take it." ”

Anxia touched the box and asked, "Can I open it?" ”

"Take a picture and give it to you."

"What?"

An Xia looked sluggish, such a precious painting was given to her?

Yuchen tapped his index finger on the table, "Don't you like it very much?" ”

Anxia, "You see that...... Wrong! If you like it, you don't have to buy it, and it's still so much higher than the original price. ”

Before this painting was coaxed, what she liked was the painting itself, and after this painting was bought by Yu Chen for 400 million, she cared more about the value of the painting.

"I thought who bought a painting at a high price of 400 million, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Yu, but Mr. Yu's eyes are not very good, this kind of person who can't get on the stage is also with you, don't forget, our Xiao Xiao is your fiancΓ©e."

Xie Yu didn't know when he was standing at the door with Han Xiaoxiao, his domineering hands around his chest, looking arrogant and disdainful.

And Han Xiaoxiao bit his lower lip and stood forward, "Mr. Yu, whether this painting can be transferred to me, I really want to buy it, I know that with your family background, there is no shortage of this painting." ”

An Xia originally felt uneasy about accepting this painting, but when she was stimulated by Xie Yu, her mind rushed and she blurted out, "Mr. Yu, do you say that this painting is given to me?" ”

Yu Chen was surprised, "Of course it counts." ”

"Okay, then I'll take it." An Xia nodded, and really accepted the painting.

"You!" Xie Yu was furious, but Yu Chen was here, and he was helpless to take An Xia, "Some people don't look at their identities, are you worthy of 400 million paintings?" ”

An Xiale smiled, "This painting is mine now, I don't deserve it, are you worthy?" ”

Xie Yu's face turned blue with anger.

And Han Xiaoxiao's eyes were still fixed on Yu Chen, she was waiting for the man to make a statement.

Yu Chen's eyes turned, and when he saw An Xia's triumphant appearance, he smiled slightly, "Miss Han also saw it, I have already given away this painting, if you really want it, it is better to ask the owner of the painting." ”

Han Xiaoxiao frowned, his hands clenched into fists, "No need!" ”

After speaking, turning to leave, Xie Yu glared at them coldly, and chased them out.

As soon as the two left, An Xia returned the painting to Yu Chen.

"Don't you want it when you're done using it?" Yuchen was speechless, he was really the first one who dared to cross the river and tear down the bridge with him so quickly.

An Xia shook her head, "Thank you just now, this painting is very good, and I like it too." ”

Yu Chen looked at her deeply, knowing that she hadn't finished her words yet.

"But I don't want you to always come and help me, and besides, I don't have the ability or qualification to own this painting now, I hope that one day, I can really, rely on my own strength, to turn this painting into my own thing, and then I will have the confidence to choke back."

Yu Chen's eyes wandered, and the little woman was able to say this, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
