Chapter 219: Chapter 202 Pricing_2

—A painting worth over a billion, yet sold for just one million, which is ultimately going to be donated to impoverished mountainous areas. In other words, Ping Zi just lost over a billion for no reason!!

This is simply the pinnacle of squandering wealth!!@@novelbin@@

Yan Yuting and Cui Tianlei were already staring agape, their jaws almost dropping to the floor. In the end, Yan Yuting even plopped down onto a chair. The mocking glances from the people around her were making her face burn with shame; she felt like she wanted to die.

She had chosen this painting from the Yan Family’s collection, never expecting it to be a painting within a painting, the true “Linshui Fuyu Picture”. That is to say, by coming to this charity auction tonight, she had caused the Yan Family to lose over a billion!!

If the people at home found out, she would definitely become the target of public criticism!!

“How could this be!! How could this be!!” Yan Yuting clenched her teeth, staring at the “Linshui Fuyu Picture” in Liu Wentian’s hands, her face turning a ghastly purple.

Cui Tianlei’s face was so sullen it looked like it could drip water. He thought this was going to make the other party embarrassed, but instead, he was the one who ended up getting a resounding slap in the face. The one who was blindly ignorant wasn’t the other party, but himself!!

He did want to back out now, but the painting had already been bid on by someone else; there was absolutely no way they would allow him to renege!!

On the stage, Old Xu looked at the painting in Liu Wentian’s hands with fervent eyes and said, “Young Brother Liu, are you selling this painting? Name any price you want!!”

After speaking, he felt somewhat embarrassed and added, “I was blind earlier, mistaking this authentic painting for a mere replica. And here I am called an ‘Art Master’. What a joke I’ve made of myself.”

Liu Wentian laughed and said, “Old Xu is too modest. It’s just that I happened to recognize the material used to glue the replica to the hidden painting, and I also just happened to know the right treatment method, that’s all. It was a fluke.”

The painting had a faint scent. Dao Huan said others could smell it too, but no one thought much of it, as it’s not unusual for antiques to have some odd smells after being stored for a long time. However, Liu Wentian was able to identify the scent as that of a juice called “Hualou Grass”.

The juice of “Hualou Grass” is clear and colorless, with an adhesive strength that is definitely many times superior to any glue available today. Even if subjected to wind and rain, or lasting hundreds of years, it would not affect its adhesive properties. However, it would dissolve when encountering boiling water, and the boiling water couldn’t penetrate the juice layer, so it wouldn’t damage the original painting.

Therefore, Liu Wentian had asked the staff to bring boiling water just now.

He thought the painting must be of high value; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been treated in such a way. He was somewhat surprised to find out that it was the genuine “Linshui Fuyu Picture”.

“Old Xu, if you really want to buy this painting, you can talk to Li He later. Let us continue with the auction for now,” Liu Wentian said with a laugh.

Old Xu smiled and nodded upon hearing this, confident that if the other party intended to sell, he had the means to purchase it.

When Liu Wentian returned to his seat, Li He’s charming eyes squinted into crescent shapes as she fixed her gaze on his face, seeming to want to see through him.

As Liu Wentian sat down and handed the painting over to Li He, he said, “I’m not good at pricing, so I’ll trouble you to sell this painting. Old Xu seems quite interested, so you can contact him later to discuss.”

Li He took the painting from Liu Wentian’s hand, her smile beaming, and said, “Do you trust me that much?? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll skim off your money?”

“We split the money fifty-fifty. If you’re skimming off money, that wouldn’t be very honorable.”

Liu Wentian responded, glancing at Li He’s smiling face with her slightly pouty, rosy, full lips. Honestly, they looked like cherries, really tempting one to bite into them.

Li He’s body stiffened a bit, and then she chuckled again, saying, “Fifty-fifty??”

Liu Wentian nodded, “Yes, fifty-fifty. We both came tonight, and considering the trust you’ve shown me earlier, of course, we should share our fortunes together.”

“This painting conservatively estimated should sell for at least one billion two hundred million. Are you sure about the fifty-fifty split?” Li He looked into Liu Wentian’s eyes and asked again.

Liu Wentian rolled his eyes and said, “Isn’t the beauty formula I gave you, “Hua Xiangrong,” worth sixty million?”

“Right, how could I forget that you’ve already gifted me the ‘Hua Xiangrong’ formula? You little guy, you really are too generous.”

After being stunned for a moment, Li He burst into laughter. Suddenly, she cupped Liu Wentian’s face…

Damn, I’ve actually been… kissed!!

And it was a first kiss too!

But Li He didn’t give Liu Wentian the chance to take initiative; she quickly separated from him after the act.

Liu Wentian was feeling gloomy, about to speak, when he heard Li He’s soft, coquettish voice, “Remember, little guy, not only can we share blessings, but we can also face difficulties together.”

“Uh…”

Liu Wentian was somewhat perplexed; what did this woman mean?

“Alright, everyone’s watching us, giggle. If you still want to kiss me, you’ll have to find a way to make me happy,” Li He said with a teasing tone, no longer paying attention to Liu Wentian.

Liu Wentian looked around; indeed, everybody was secretly glancing at them, especially the men, all with faces full of envy, wishing they could take his place.

At that moment, Li He finally felt her heart rate slowing down.

In the distance, Yan Yuting stared at Liu Wentian and Li He with venomous hatred, gritting her teeth and seething, “This pair, they’re really shameless, brazenly… That woman really is nothing but a saucy vixen!! And that damned man, causing me to lose over a billion, he deserves to die!!”

Cui Tianlei also stared at Liu Wentian with resentment, sneering, “I didn’t expect this kid’s eyes to be so sharp. Even Old Xu couldn’t spot what he did!!”
