Su Yuan raised her eyebrows, as if to say, when did I bully you?

She smiled and explained, "Miss Guo, you're worrying too much. I'm your only daughter. Don't try to be so casual with your relatives. I'm worried that you're after our antiques and property."

"Ms. Su, some experts here want to see you. Why don't we go somewhere else to discuss it in detail?" He Jingchen took the initiative to suggest and help her out.

Su Yuan immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go."

Guo Yingying looked at their receding backs, she was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she was helpless.

Su Yuan, outside the crowd, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to He Jingchen and said gratefully, "Thanks so much to you today. If you hadn't shown up in time, I really don't know how Guo Yingying would have continued to make trouble."

He Jingchen smiled faintly and shook his head slightly.

"You are my guest, and it is natural for me to protect you."

After saying that, He Jingchen led her to continue visiting several other teachers.

Her works were collected by these teachers one by one, and they also expressed their desire to cooperate with her for a long time.

During the break in the meeting, Su Yuan sipped tea and quietly observed He Jingchen's every move.

Seeing that he was deeply engaged in the conversation, she quietly left the table and went downstairs to check the paintings that had been sold.

Su Yuan captured some information from the conversation just now.

He Jingchen's bidding was extraordinary. A single painting was sold at a high price of over 150 million, which was truly amazing.

Just as she was staring at the painting in a daze, Guo Yingying, who had finally calmed Wu Fan down, saw her and came over with a stern face.

"Sister, you know how to appreciate paintings?"

Hearing Guo Yingying's annoying voice, Su Yuan's face darkened.

She turned around and asked unhappily, "Guo Yingying, do you feel that you can't hold back just because I didn't kick you out?"

Guo Yingying became even more annoyed when she saw that she dared to speak to her like that.

She had just found out that the Su family had never had such a pearl necklace before. It was obviously a gift from a noble person.

Guo Yingying smiled contemptuously and approached Su Yuan.

"Sister, I've confirmed with father that the Su family didn't have this kind of pearl in the past, and you don't have the financial resources to buy it. Who is the financial sponsor who gave it to you?"

Su Yuan rolled her eyes.

"Why, are you looking for a sponsor too?"

As soon as the voice fell, Su Yuan sarcastically said: "Look at my memory. You are about to get married. Does Mr. Wu have such pearls at home? Why haven't I seen you put them on your fiancée?"

Wu Fan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Su Yuan, do you think everyone would cling to the powerful like you do?"

"I thought you were good at this. You couldn't get it yourself, so you didn't believe others could get it. First you questioned its authenticity, and now you say someone gave it to you. Jealousy is really an ugly thing. It's absolutely true."

As she spoke, Su Yuan looked at Mrs. Jiang who was recording a video with her mobile phone.

"Mrs. Jiang, what do you think?"

Mrs. Jiang was surprised to be called out so suddenly. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "That's right, that's exactly the point."

Seeing someone agree, Guo Yingying and Wu Fan looked over at the same time.

Mrs. Jiang realized that she might be involved in some trouble, so she quickly put away her phone.

"Oh, I remembered my husband seemed to be calling me just now, so I'll go first."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly left the scene.

However, the others had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Su Yuan did not drive them away.

She tidied her hair and looked at Guo Yingying again.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to lend you your necklace for a few days?"

Guo Yingying's eyes lit up, but she immediately noticed the mockery in Su Yuan's eyes and realized that this was another provocation from the other party.

Guo Yingying immediately changed the subject: "But sister, do you really know how to paint? I remember that you were not good at studying, so don't talk nonsense here."

Su Yuan smiled back and said, "I don't understand, so you must be an expert, right?"

"Compared to my sister, I know a little bit about it. This painting, for example, looks like it's from a famous artist's collection. It's a great honor to be able to exhibit it for us to feast our eyes on."

Guo Yingying let out a soft breath, a look of regret between her brows. "What a pity! The colors of this painting are too bright. I'm afraid it's a recent imitation."

Su Yuan was startled when she heard this and asked in surprise, "Just because it's well-maintained, you conclude it's a fake?"

Guo Yingying curled her lips, seeming quite disapproving.

"If you don't understand, don't guess blindly. This painting is not an authentic one. We have seen many paintings by An Chu, and even the best-maintained ones are not half as beautiful as this one. It is obviously deliberately made to look old, but it's a pity that the aging technique is not sophisticated enough. Although the painting is good, it is wasted..." After saying that, he sighed again.

Su Yuan glanced at the heavyweight figure not far away, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

This time, Guo Yingying hit a wall.

Yang Shangyi strode closer, stood behind Guo Yingying expressionlessly, and asked calmly, "Miss Guo, are you familiar with this business?"

Guo Yingying turned around and saw Yang Shangyi. Her eyes suddenly sparkled and she looked at him expectantly, "Hello, Mr. Yang. I think this painting is of superb artistry and has a simple and ancient style, just like back then. However, I actually have a similar painting at home, so I know a little about it."

"Oh?" Yang Shangyi seemed intrigued, his eyes shifting back and forth between the painting of the ladies and Guo Yingying. "So, Miss Guo thinks my painting is fake?"

Guo Yingying opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Is this painting yours?"

Yang Shangyi nodded slightly, then revealed a hint of regret. "I thought it was genuine, but I didn't expect that even I was almost fooled. It seems that when it comes to appreciation, I am indeed not as discerning as Miss Guo."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else quickly interrupted, "Mr. Yang, what are you talking about? This little girl coveted someone else's things before, and now she says the painting is fake. How can we believe it? Besides, everyone knows that Mr. Yang has a special liking for An Chu's paintings. How could he not tell the real thing?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang, don't take children's words seriously."

Seeing that no one believed her, Guo Yingying winked at Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was staring at the painting in a trance when Guo Yingying nudged him with her elbow, and he was immediately confused.

Wu Fan leaned in and whispered, "Yingying, I don't think this painting looks fake. It might be because it's been well maintained."

"Absolutely impossible!" Guo Yingying flatly denied it. She looked at Yang Shangyi solemnly, "Mr. Yang, I think this painting must be fake. The one in my collection was an early collection of my grandfather, Mr. Su. It has been well maintained, but it is still not as good as this one. This painting is definitely a fake."

Su Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she looked directly at Guo Yingying, "You mean, my grandfather's paintings are with you?"

Guo Yingying realized she had spoken out of turn, but at this point she was too busy to worry about it. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "That's my dad's. Don't even think about it."

Su Yuan was amused, but with a hint of sarcasm, "This is the first time I've seen a thief talk about his stolen goods in such a high-sounding way."

However, a new plan quickly emerged in Su Yuan's mind.
