Chapter 405 Which Gui Guzi At Night Is Genuine
Gu Nian raised her head and said in surprise, "Gui Guzi At Night?"
That was really a coincidence.
If it wasn't she who had asked Si Yejue out of curiosity about what the elderly Mr. Si liked, she would have suspected that Zhuo Ya did it on purpose.
It could be seen that Zhuo Ya really wanted to please the elderly Mr. Si.
Mrs. Zhuo had known Gu Nian for a long time and disliked her very much.
She believed Si Yejue must have been engaged to her daughter if it wasn't for Gu Nian's appearance.
Mrs. Zhuo asked with a contemptuous smile, "Yes. You don't know what Gui Guzi At Night is, right? Maybe you think it's a kind of title in a novel."
"But in fact, it is a painting created by Master Changyuan."
Gu Nian only said "Oh".
"Each of Master Changyuan's paintings is worth at least one million dollars. Gui Guzi At Night has been auctioned for a high price of forty million dollars."
"However, Master Changyuan regards money as nothing and doesn't want to sell Gui Guzi At Night to anyone."
Gu Nian sneered, "Since it hasn't been sold, how did Miss Zhuo get it?"
Zhuo Ya said, "I got a chance to know Master Shanshui when I was abroad, and he knew Master Changyuan. He said that Master Changyuan liked my style of painting and planned to accept me as his student."
"So I got a discount and bought it."
Hearing her words, Gu Nian couldn't help laughing, "Master Changyuan planned to accept you as his student?"
Why didn't she know about that?
Zhuo Ya nodded, "Yeah."
Gu Nian just said "Oh". She hadn't painted for a long time.
Si Yejue looked at Gu Nian worriedly, "Nian..."
Mrs. Zhuo said, "Ya, your Grandpa Si has been waiting for the painting for a long time. Hand it to him quickly."
Zhuo Ya nodded, took out the scroll and handed it to him.
"Grandpa Si, just a small gift for you."
The elderly Mr. Si hurriedly reached out to pick it up with a smile.
Before he opened it, Gu Nian said, "That's really a coincidence. The gift I am going to give to grandpa is also Gui Guzi At Night."
Hearing Gu Nian's voice, the guests looked at her.
The elderly Mr. Si asked with the scroll in his hands, "You also have Gui Guzi At Night?"
"But Master Changyuan only painted one Gui Guzi At Night."
"Why do you both have Gui Guzi At Night? What's the matter?"
Mrs. Zhuo sneered, "There must be a fake one."
Then all the guests cast their eyes that were full of doubt on Gu Nian.
"The one in Gu Nian's hand must be fake."
"Zhuo Ya once studied abroad. She has been good at painting since she was a child. She is favored by Master Shanshui and Master Changyuan, and she is rich, so the painting in her hand must be genuine."
"I heard that Gu Nian had a bad reputation in the past, and she just came back, so she must not be able to afford the genuine one."
Someone whispered, "Gu Nian's may be the genuine one. You know, even though Gu Nian couldn't afford it, the third master could. It is possible that he bought it for her."
That guess sounded reasonable.
Si Yejue was a little worried, but he believed in Gu Nian, "Of course Nian's is genuine."
Mrs. Zhuo smiled, "Just show yours to us to see whether it is genuine."
She looked at Gu Nian and asked, "Miss Gu, dare you take it out?"
Gu Nian generously took out her scroll, replying, "Of course I dare."
Zhuo Ya looked at Gu Nian and said, "Then... If you want to give Gui Guzi At Night to Grandpa Si as a gift, take mine. You can take yours back."
"Otherwise, it will make you embarrassed."
Zhuo Ya said that entirely for the sake of Gu Nian.
But obviously, what the other guests thought was that Zhuo Ya's was genuine and Gu Nian's was fake.
