627 My Heart Hurts So Much That I Canât Breathe
âNo way, you havenât even heard of the Lingan Residence? How dare he say that he has been playing with antiques for more than ten years?â
âLingan Residence is the most famous antique shop in this antique street. How can there be someone who hasnât heard of it?â
âSigh, I thought that Teacher Li had a good character just now. I didnât expect him to be so ignorant.â
âSince Boss Xue said that there is such a person, then there must be one.â
âCould it be that this kid really picked up a treasure?â
Even the people who had admired Li Guofu very much just now began to criticize him verbally and in writing. It could be seen how important this Lingan Residence was to everyone.
When Li Guofu heard everyoneâs mocking, his old face immediately turned red. He hurriedly cupped his hands at Xue Pu.
âIâm really sorry. Iâm from another city, so Iâm not very familiar with the antique world of Yang Cheng. Please forgive me.â
Xue Pu waved his hand indifferently.
âMy Lingan Residence is just an ordinary antique shop. Itâs normal that youâve never heard of it. But this Mr. Chen Yenan is a master of landscape painting. If you have studied calligraphy and painting for more than ten years, you should have heard of him.â
Li Guofuâs old face turned red again. Actually, he studied calligraphy and painting just to be elegant. In fact, he did not study it in depth.
When faced with laymen, he could still pretend to bluff.
However, when faced with such an industry expert, he didnât dare to say anything more, because the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Someone in the crowd immediately asked curiously, âBoss Xue, is this Mr. Chenâs painting valuable?â
When Xue Pu heard this, he immediately frowned.
âMr. Chen has always been indifferent to fame and fortune. Using money to measure his work is an insult to him. However, last year, the auction house had auctioned his work once. It was about the same size as this one and was sold for more than 400,000 yuan.â
âHissâ¦â
As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
âA painting sold for more than 400,000 yuan? Then he can really be called a master.â
âIn that case, this painting is worth at least a few hundred thousand, right?â
âIt canât be, right? This kid casually picked one and it can be sold for hundreds of thousands? Isnât this money earned too easily?â
âYou bought it for 20,000 yuan, and you can earn hundreds of thousands just by reselling it? Isnât this a little too ridiculous?â
âBut Boss Xue said it, so it shouldnât be fake.â
âBoss Xue was just saying it casually. If you ask him to buy it for hundreds of thousands of yuan, do you think heâll be willing?â
Perhaps in response to everyoneâs doubts, Xue Pu immediately turned to look at Ye Feng.
âLittle brother, I really like this landscape painting by Mr. Chen Yenan. Iâm willing to buy it for 500,000.â
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.
If there were still people who had doubts just now, there were no more doubts now.
If Boss Xue was willing to pay for it himself, it proved that this painting was really worth the money.
The stall owner instantly regretted his decision.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When he sold the painting for 20,000 yuan, he thought he had made a killing. He did not expect the other party to earn 480,000 yuan in the blink of an eye.
This made him feel like vomiting blood.
Ye Feng glanced at Li Guofu who was beside him and sighed, âI was planning to give this painting to my teacher, but since he doesnât like it, then Iâll give it to Boss Xue.â
When Li Guofu heard this, he felt as if his heart had been punched by someone. It was so painful that he could not breathe.
He actually brushed past a landscape painting worth 500,000 yuan.
This was 500,000 yuan!
He had been taking bribes in school, making everyone angry. In a year, he could only earn 500 to 600 thousand.
Now, someone wanted to give him a painting worth 500,000 yuan, but he actually rejected it.
His heart ached so much that he could not breathe.
But now, if he wanted to go back on his word, he couldnât bring himself to do so.
Just like that, he suffered in pain.
The people who had previously praised Li Guofu were now looking at him with gloating expressions.
âHahaha, look at that Teacher Liâs expression. Itâs too interesting.â
âNonsense, this is 500,000 yuan. Who would be happy to give it away like this?â
âHis righteous look just now really fooled me. I thought he was really elegant and had clean sleeves.â
âHe probably thought that he couldnât take out any expensive gifts, so he said that, right? He didnât expect the other party to actually give him a painting worth 500,000 yuan. He probably regrets it to the core.â
âI really didnât expect this young man to have such good taste. He picked out a painting worth 500,000 in one go.â
âFrom the looks of it, he doesnât look like someone who lives off a woman. He has some real talent.â
âOf course. Otherwise, would that beauty have taken a fancy to him?â
Everyoneâs mockery made Li Guofuâs blood pressure soar. He almost fell to the ground as he glared at Ye Feng.
This kid probably knew that he wouldnât accept it, so he deliberately said that he would give him a gift to make him embarrass himself in public. It was simply despicable.
As for Zhuang Xiaojiao, she looked at Ye Feng curiously.
It seemed that this guy was really knowledgeable about antiques. He was able to pick a landscape painting worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
She really didnât know what this guy didnât know.
Ye Feng faced everyoneâs strange gazes, but he was still calm.
It was just a painting worth 500,000 yuan. Compared to his previous brilliant achievements, it was nothing.
These people were really making a fuss over nothing.
Xue Pu seemed to see that Ye Feng did not care about the 500,000. He could not help but feel shocked.
It seemed that this young manâs family background was extraordinary.
Thinking of this, he spoke again.
âOur Lingan Residence is holding an antique blind box event. The entrance fee is exactly 500,000 yuan. If this little brother is interested, why donât you use this painting to deduct the entrance fee?â
Without waiting for Ye Feng to agree, Zhuang Xiaojiaoâs interest was piqued. âAntique blind box? It sounds very interesting, Ye Feng, letâs go play for a while, okay?â
Ye Feng nodded with a bitter smile. âIâll listen to you.â
Zhuang Xiaojiao immediately jumped up and down happily like a child.
Boss Xue immediately led the two of them to his shop. The onlookers followed suit.
Li Guofu looked at Ye Fengâs back and gritted his teeth in hatred. âI want to see what else you can do.â
Thinking of this, he immediately followed.
