"I'm sorry, I really made an appointment with the client, and I didn't have time." Xu Qingran shook his head.

Jiang Yichen's face was a little not good-looking, he thought that it was just Xu Qingran's words and excuses to Xiao Chen just now, but he didn't expect it to be true, Xu Qingran actually rejected him.

However, the gloom on his face only disappeared for a moment, and soon disappeared.

Then the gentleman smiled, "It's okay, it's important." So, I'm already here anyway, so I'll send you there. ”

Xu Qingran hesitated for a moment and shook his head again, "No need, I'll just drive myself." ”

As he spoke, he walked directly to the car not far away and drove away.

After Xu Qingran left, Jiang Yichen's face was completely gloomy, "Damn, dare to refuse me." ”

As he spoke, a burning flash flashed in his eyes, "Wait, one day, I'll get you." When the time comes, I'll see if you can still pretend to be pure in front of me. ”

As if thinking of something that excited him, the corners of his mouth drew a wicked smile and he sat back in the sports car.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to remember something, "By the way, just now Qing Ran asked Xiao Chen to buy a birthday gift for the old lady of the Xu family......"

He groaned, not knowing what bad water was bubbling in his heart.

"Qing Ran really didn't lie to me." Xiao Chen, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the conversation between Xu Qingran and Jiang Yichen, and his heart was overjoyed, feeling a burst of unprecedented joy and satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered what Xu Qingran had explained.

The so-called family gathering is that people from several branches of the Xu family eat a meal together.

When the time comes, the people of each branch will be present.

To be honest, Xiao Chen didn't like that scene very much. Because there are always some people who like to pretend to be forced in front of him. Some guys who don't see people well will also take the opportunity to criticize Xu Qingran in front of the old lady.

There is actually nothing to prepare for in the matter of family gatherings.

However, Xiao Chen needs to buy a dress that can be seen a little. Because during the family gathering, the men of each branch have to represent their own branch and make some annual summaries and other things.

Although Xiao Chen is only a son-in-law, he is a man after all, and he also needs to speak.

In the past, Xu Qingran wrote the manuscript, and he just read it.

The important thing is the old lady's 80th birthday after the family gathering.

I heard that the old lady attaches great importance to this birthday, and in order to please the old lady, the people of the Xu family began to prepare for the birthday gift early. Xu Qingran gave Xiao Chen the 100,000 yuan, mainly to let Xiao Chen buy a birthday gift.

She knew that she couldn't compete with Xu Chengyang and others, after all, although he was in charge of a company, he didn't have much money, let alone the company's money.

Once discovered, Xu Chongshan and Xu Chengyang will definitely take advantage of the topic to play.

Therefore, Xu Qingran does not seek merit, but seeks no fault. Buying a gift of tens of thousands of yuan, although it can't please the old lady, it shouldn't make the old lady angry.

Although Xiao Chen didn't have a good impression of the old lady of the Xu family, since Xu Qingran asked him to do it, Xiao Chen naturally had to do his best to do it.

He didn't want to see that Xu Qingran was unhappy because of this kind of thing.

"I heard that the old lady likes calligraphy and painting very much, so I went to buy a calligraphy and painting." Xiao Chen muttered to himself, took the bus directly, and went to the antique street.

Jiang Yichen, on the other hand, quietly drove to follow Xiao Chen.

Seeing Xiao Chen enter the antique street, he immediately sneered and followed in.

With Xiao Chen's keen insight, he naturally discovered Jiang Yichen a long time ago, but he didn't take it to heart.

Jiang Yichen treated him as a waste, but he didn't know that in Xiao Chen's heart, Jiang Yichen was just an ant, and it was not worth Xiao Chen's attention.

Although it is said to be an antique street, in fact, there are many fakes here.

Ordinary people come here to buy antiques, and they simply give money.

Of course, there are genuine goods, but this will test the buyer's eyesight. There are even some people who are lucky and have good eyesight, and they can still pick up the missing something.

Of course, this little thing is naturally nothing to Xiao Chen.

The precious antiquities he has personally touched are probably more than the entire Linzhou Museum combined. If you want to talk about the eyesight in this regard, don't say that it is just Linzhou, even if you look at the entire Jiangnan, the entire Xia Kingdom, Xiao Chen recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first.

As long as he glanced at it, Xiao Chen could tell the authenticity of an antiquity, and even determine the age. This is something that many old experts who have been immersed in this way for decades have done.

In and out of several antique shops, Xiao Chen didn't see a single decent calligraphy and painting. Basically, they are fakes, and even if there are genuine goods, the quality is not very good, but the price is extremely high.

far exceeded the budget of 100,000 yuan given by Xu Qingran.

Moments later, he walked into an antique shop.

"Yo, isn't this Xiao Chen? I heard that you joined the Xu family and became a son-in-law, or the most cowardly? What are you doing in the antique shop? Almost as soon as Xiao Chen walked in the door, a young man inside saw him, and immediately showed a look of ridicule on his face.

It was a young man with glasses and a neat suit, who was Xiao Chen's high school classmate named Li Xiang.

When he was in school, because of his good family background, he felt that he was superior to others, so he targeted poor classmates like Xiao Chen everywhere.

I haven't seen him for many years, and I didn't expect to meet him here.

As he spoke, he also asked the owner of the antique shop, a bald old man: "I said Sun Bald, he won't be an employee of your store and cleaning toilets, right?" ”

The bald man hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Li Shao said that he laughed, I am a small shop, a big fart place, I am enough for one person, where can I still hire employees?" ”

It's not good for him to help Li Xiang taunt Xiao Chen, after all, for him, all the people who enter the door are customers, and they are all the God of Wealth.

"What am I here to do, does it have anything to do with you?" Xiao Chen didn't bother to pay attention to Li Xiang at all, said lightly, and walked directly into the antique shop.

His gaze swept around, and soon landed on a calligraphy not far away.

In an instant, a gleam flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and then he quietly pointed to the painting and said, "Take this painting and show it to me." ”

Sun Bald hurriedly took out the painting and handed it to Xiao Chen, while laughing and boasting: "The guest is really good eyesight, this calligraphy, but the authentic handwriting of Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gong, is definitely worth the price." ”

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, took the painting, and looked at it carefully.

Li Xiang on the side, seeing that Xiao Chen dared to ignore him, his face suddenly sank slightly, and then he saw the calligraphy in Xiao Chen's hand, and immediately couldn't help but sneer, "Heh, just a hillbilly like you, come to buy antiques?" ”

"Do you know how to read? Even if you are a vassal and elegant, you must have money. I heard that you rely on Xu Qingran to give you one or two hundred living expenses a day, and you also want to come here to spend? ”
