627 My Heart Hurts So Much That I Can’t Breathe

“No way, you haven’t even heard of the Lingan Residence? How dare he say that he has been playing with antiques for more than ten years?”

“Lingan Residence is the most famous antique shop in this antique street. How can there be someone who hasn’t heard of it?”

“Sigh, I thought that Teacher Li had a good character just now. I didn’t expect him to be so ignorant.”

“Since Boss Xue said that there is such a person, then there must be one.”

“Could it be that this kid really picked up a treasure?”

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 everyone’s mocking, his old face immediately turned red. He hurriedly cupped his hands at Xue Pu.

“I’m really sorry. I’m from another city, so I’m not very familiar with the antique world of Yang Cheng. Please forgive me.”

Xue Pu waved his hand indifferently.

“My Lingan Residence is just an ordinary antique shop. It’s normal that you’ve 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.”

Li Guofu’s 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 didn’t dare to say anything more, because the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Someone in the crowd immediately asked curiously, “Boss Xue, is this Mr. Chen’s painting valuable?”

When Xue Pu heard this, he immediately frowned.

“Mr. 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.”

“Hiss…”

As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

“A painting sold for more than 400,000 yuan? Then he can really be called a master.”

“In that case, this painting is worth at least a few hundred thousand, right?”

“It can’t be, right? This kid casually picked one and it can be sold for hundreds of thousands? Isn’t this money earned too easily?”

“You bought it for 20,000 yuan, and you can earn hundreds of thousands just by reselling it? Isn’t this a little too ridiculous?”

“But Boss Xue said it, so it shouldn’t be fake.”

“Boss Xue was just saying it casually. If you ask him to buy it for hundreds of thousands of yuan, do you think he’ll be willing?”

Perhaps in response to everyone’s doubts, Xue Pu immediately turned to look at Ye Feng.

“Little brother, I really like this landscape painting by Mr. Chen Yenan. I’m willing to buy it for 500,000.”

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.

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, “I was planning to give this painting to my teacher, but since he doesn’t like it, then I’ll give it to Boss Xue.”

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 couldn’t 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.

“Hahaha, look at that Teacher Li’s expression. It’s too interesting.”

“Nonsense, this is 500,000 yuan. Who would be happy to give it away like this?”

“His righteous look just now really fooled me. I thought he was really elegant and had clean sleeves.”

“He probably thought that he couldn’t take out any expensive gifts, so he said that, right? He didn’t expect the other party to actually give him a painting worth 500,000 yuan. He probably regrets it to the core.”

“I really didn’t expect this young man to have such good taste. He picked out a painting worth 500,000 in one go.”

“From the looks of it, he doesn’t look like someone who lives off a woman. He has some real talent.”

“Of course. Otherwise, would that beauty have taken a fancy to him?”

Everyone’s mockery made Li Guofu’s blood pressure soar. He almost fell to the ground as he glared at Ye Feng.

This kid probably knew that he wouldn’t 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 didn’t know what this guy didn’t know.

Ye Feng faced everyone’s 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 man’s family background was extraordinary.

Thinking of this, he spoke again.

“Our Lingan Residence is holding an antique blind box event. The entrance fee is exactly 500,000 yuan. If this little brother is interested, why don’t you use this painting to deduct the entrance fee?”

Without waiting for Ye Feng to agree, Zhuang Xiaojiao’s interest was piqued. “Antique blind box? It sounds very interesting, Ye Feng, let’s go play for a while, okay?”

Ye Feng nodded with a bitter smile. “I’ll listen to you.”

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 Feng’s back and gritted his teeth in hatred. ‘I want to see what else you can do.’

Thinking of this, he immediately followed.
