Jiang Yejin looked at An Jinpeng worriedly, deeply regretting that she shouldn't have asked such a thing on this occasion, she was really afraid that An Jinpeng wouldn't be able to stand the stimulation and lose her temper, so she just glanced at the auction table, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Eh, look at that painting, the lotus flower on the painting is exactly the same as the one that Lan Fei raised in the goldfish bowl." โ€

"Yes!" As soon as An Jinpeng heard the topic related to Lan Fei, he immediately shifted his attention, and now he was showing an oil painting, which depicted a few golden lotus flowers growing on the edge of a pool.

The auctioneer introduced, said that although this is a Western oil painting, but hundreds of years ago, Western missionaries came here, accidentally saw the painting in a waterhole in the deep mountains, this is a rare flower, named Jin Guanglian, only the size of the ancient people's drinking wine glass, growing in the deep mountains and Daze, the environment is very demanding, people once thought that this flower is just the painter's imagination, there is no such flower, until a few decades ago, science and technology developed, a photographer took a photo, the botanical community affirmed the existence of this variety of lotus.

The starting price of this painting is 1 million, and An Jinpeng raised a sign to shout the price, 1.2 million, it seems that he wants to auction it and give it to Lan Fei.

And an old man with a white beard sitting next to them immediately raised his sign, and the price was increased to two million and two hundred thousand. Ahn Jinpeng did not bid again.

Jiang Yejin couldn't help but laugh, "It's too expensive?"

An Jinpeng shook his head and said: "The old man next to him obviously likes it very much, this is just adding so much at one time, the gentleman does not win people's love, this painting is just a good gift for me, Lan Fei may not like it, but it may be of great significance to the old man, so don't rob it from others." โ€

Jiang Yejin was a little surprised, and his good impression of An Jinpeng increased little by little.

After the old man successfully photographed the painting, he turned around and smiled at An Jinpeng, "Young man, I agreed." โ€

An Jinpeng smiled, "It's okay, grandpa, my friend has this kind of flower, thinking that it would be a little interesting to take a picture and give it to her, but since she has real flowers, she won't care too much about a painting." โ€

Originally, it was just a casual explanation, but the old man said: "Young man, are you wrong? Didn't you listen to what the auctioneer just said, this flower only grows in the inaccessible mountains and Daze, and it has high requirements for the environment, so it is impossible to cultivate artificially." โ€

An Jinpeng turned his head to look at Jiang Yejin and asked, "You're not mistaken, right?"

Jiang Yejin affirmed: "That's right, Lan Fei kept this flower in the goldfish tank in her room, it's very beautiful, how could I be wrong about such a special flower, each flower has twenty-one petals, one petal is not more and one petal is not less, I counted it just now, and it is the same on the flower." โ€

An Jinpeng is very confident in Lan Fei's flower-raising skills, Jiang Yejin can even count the number of petals, and it is impossible to be wrong, so he said a little proudly: "My friend has a green finger, what others can't support, she can live." โ€

"Young people don't talk about it, it's impossible. The old man was visibly upset.

"What I said is true. Jiang Yejin was also a little unhappy, and no one was happy to be suspected of being suspected for no reason.

An Jinpeng didn't want to argue with anyone, seeing that the movement was a little big, and there were people around him, he was busy and said: "Forget it, forget it, forgive you if you don't know each other, it's not interesting to argue about this." โ€

Well, Jiang Yejin didn't want to cause trouble, so he closed his mouth angrily, turned his head and continued to stare at the lot below.

The old man did not want to give up, and said again, "Young people nowadays, how can they like to lie casually? โ€

"Hey, old man, who do you say is lying?" Jiang Yejin was not a good-tempered person, and immediately fought back when he heard the old man say this.

"Hey, do you know who you're talking to?" the two tall and burly men next to the old man immediately stood up.

Jiang Yejin is just an ordinary person, and he said something heavy in a moment's anger, and when he saw this posture, he remembered what kind of occasion this was, and he really fought with a rich man, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak out.

At this time, An Jinpeng stood up and said respectfully to the old man: "Old man, I'm really sorry, my friend is unintentional, just talking about things, it is true that a friend has this kind of flower, she is not lying." โ€

"Impossible!" the old man said categorically with a wave of his hand.

"If he doesn't believe it, forget it. Although Jiang Yejin was full of dissatisfaction, he didn't dare to cause trouble, and pulled An Jinpeng to sit down.

"May I ask everyone, do you need anything here?" Seeing that there was a dispute here, a banquet leader hurriedly came over.

The old man looked at his two bodyguards, and then at Jiang Yejin and the others, probably feeling that he had lost face and was suspected of bullying juniors, so he said: "In this way, let's take a gamble, if your friend really has this kind of flower, count me as losing, how about giving you this painting I just shot?"

An Jinpeng looked at Jiang Yejin.

Jiang Yejin hesitated for a moment and shook her head, she was not afraid of 10,000, she was afraid of what happened, she couldn't afford to lose.

The old man smiled and said, "Don't you dare, so young people should not talk about it." โ€

"It's not that I don't dare, it's just that it's unfair. Jiang Yejin said, "You are a rich man, more than two million paintings are just a thing that you can donate to do good deeds, and it doesn't matter if you lose, but I'm just a student, the wealth is uneven, obviously unequal, there is a case for everything, in case we talk now, what happened to the lotus flower raised by my friend, then I can't afford to lose." โ€

"The risk probability you said is too small, aren't you sure that you are not lying, do your friends have this kind of flower, if it is true, this gambling method is obviously your advantage, after all, there is no such flower, you know best. The old man looked at Jiang Yejin sternly, it seemed that he wanted to teach the young man a lesson.

Jiang Yejin was really unconvinced, looked at the Buddha beads in his hand, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered an idea, and said: "In this way, grandpa, don't take advantage of anyone, isn't this a charity auction, this thing we just auctioned is only 200,000, which is not comparable to your painting, but it is also what we like, if any of us loses, we will send our respective lots to the auction again, and the proceeds will be donated, what do you think?"

"Okay. The old man readily agreed.

Jiang Yejin waited for this, and immediately picked up her mobile phone to call Lan Fei, but Lan Fei's mobile phone was turned off, and she called Chen Linna again, Chen Linna was at home, Jiang Yejin asked her to take a picture of Lan Fei's lotus flower and send the photo over.

Such a simple request, but Chen Linna did not immediately agree, and asked, "Did Lan Fei agree?"

"It's just a picture, what's the matter. Jiang Yejin didn't expect that Lan Fei would agree to the question.
