Section 76 Comparing

When so many people looked at me with strange eyes, my face was a little red. I didn’t expect that the jade horse was actually a fake product! But I saw it very clearly that He Yangde did spend 800,000 yuan! The antique shop owner repeatedly promised that it was definitely the authentic product, but he didn’t expect to be fooled!

He Yangde's face was so gloomy that water could drip out! I followed him, without saying a word, and did not touch his bad head.

About two minutes later, He Yangde waved his hand and said, "You can take a walk by yourself and let me be quiet."

I can understand him. He wanted to flatter him, but he slapped him on the horse's leg. It would be strange if he could be in a good mood!

With sympathy, I wandered around and admired the magnificent private club. I thought to myself that the palace was just like this, right?

There are all kinds of people around, in groups of three or five, chatting happily. Most men wear suits and ties, look like successful people, while women wear dresses, and I... wear down jackets! It is incompatible with the surroundings!

Before I walked around for a long time, I felt someone patting my shoulder. After turning around, a woman with a ponytail with a soft facial features and wearing a cheongsam was standing behind me! The cheongsam was white in the background and was embroidered with peonies, which made her even more beautiful!

"Huh? It's you." I smiled because it was not someone else who photographed me, but Xu Ningrou!

She also smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Come with Vice Governor He."

"Vice Governor?" Xu Ningrou looked puzzled and seemed to not know her.

I explained: "Last time, Vice Governor He forced me to join the archaeological team. The real purpose was to protect you. I only found out yesterday."

"Oh? Where is Vice Governor He?"

I smirked and lowered my voice and said, "He is depressed because the gift he gave to your father was a fake antique, and it was discovered by the old man at the door on the spot, which was very shameless. But this cannot be blamed for him, he was deceived."

Xu Ningrou couldn't help laughing: "Who dares to deceive the deputy governor?"

"Well, actually Vice Governor He has prepared a Tang San Cai Tao horse as a gift, but I reminded me that Tang San Cai is a funeral object and has a bad meaning. So I have changed the gift in a hurry and bought fake antiques."

Just now, several handsome men and beautiful women walked next to him, each with extraordinary temperament. One of them had a gentle face asked, "Ms. Xu, is this your friend?"

Xu Ningrou nodded: "Yes, everyone, don't be safe. My father is inside. Do you need me to lead the way?"

"We can just go over here by ourselves." said the elegant young man: "After presenting the gift, we will have a long talk with Miss Xu."

Xu Ningrou just smiled and said nothing...

After those people left, Xu Ningrou asked, "Is it very hot to wear a down jacket? There is a safe here, you can put the coat in it."

"Okay, where is it?"

"I'll take you there."

On the way, Xu Ningrou asked, "What are you busy with recently?"

I told the story of Yinlong Vein. When I talked about pretending to be mentally ill and sneaking into the mental hospital, she covered her mouth and chuckled. When I talked about the bastard and I were beaten by medical staff, she asked me if I was seriously injured. When I said I didn’t plan to come, I changed my mind when I heard that I could see her, she smiled without saying anything, and I don’t know what it meant...

………………………………………

Locking the down jacket into the cabinet, I said in my sweater, "It feels much better now."

Xu Ningrou smiled and said, "Last time you took good care of me in the ancient tomb, and I haven't had time to thank you."

"No, no, I got the reward last time, it was enough for 20,000 yuan."

"You are honest." Xu Ningrou said: "Twenty thousand is really not a small amount, it's almost worth my annual salary."

I was slightly stunned: "Is this a slander?"

"Of course not, I only spend the money I earn now."

I was silent for a few seconds and said, "You are such a strange person."

"Is this a positive or a negative?"

I didn't answer, just chuckled.

At this time, we returned to the club hall. Xu Ningrou brought two glasses of red wine and handed it over. I took a sip, and my face changed and almost spit it out! After barely swallowing it, I whispered: "It's so unpleasant."

Xu Ningrou's eyes were all smiling in a crescent shape and said, "You are so big, of course it's hard to drink. I'll teach you how to taste the bar."

I shook my head and said, "Forget it, I'm just an ordinary person. I can't drink this kind of thing normally, and it's useless to learn it."

Just as we were having a happy conversation, a disharmonious voice suddenly appeared next to us: "Ms. Xu, can you talk to you alone?"

I turned around and saw that the elegant young man just now was still the one who seemed to be interested in Xu Ningrou. A jealousy arose in my heart. Fortunately, Xu Ningrou refused and said, "What do you mean by Mr. Qi? Just say it here."

"Young Master Qi" narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked instead: "I wonder which family this little brother comes from? He looks very handsome."

I don’t know how to answer, but fortunately Xu Ningrou helped to help and said, “He is not a child of the Eight Great Family, but just my friend.”

"Oh? I wonder what this little brother is called?"

I replied politely: "Bruce Lee."

"It turns out it's Brother Li Xiao. I wonder what kind of gifts did you give to Uncle Xu this time?"

This really stopped me. I was not prepared for anything. He Yangde even gave me a fake antique. If I said it, wouldn’t it make people laugh? But I don’t want to lose face in front of the beauty. What should I do?

Just as I was thinking hard, Mr. Qi said, "I gave me a vase made of white jade with mutton fat, and the market price is about tens of millions. Although this is nothing in Uncle Xu's eyes, it is also my intention. I wonder what gifts did the little brother prepare?"

"I... haven't delivered the gift I prepared yet."

"I wonder what the little brother is going to give?"

"Keep confidential for the time being."

Mr. Qi smiled proudly: "I'm really looking forward to it. I'll go there and say hello to my acquaintance..."

………………………………………

Xu Ningrou knew that I was a fat man who was swollen and fat. After "Young Master Qi" left, she frowned and said with a light brow: "I thought you were calm and wise and would not compete with him. Qi Guanyu is a narrow-minded person and will definitely make you look ugly. Now it's not a good end."

I smiled bitterly: "It is normal to have a competing heart, it means I am still young."

"You are still in the mood to joke? I'll arrange for you to leave first."

I shook my head and said, "If you don't leave, you're just a gift, I'll give it."

Xu Ningrou advised: "Even if you send a plane, my father won't look at you, so there is no need to send it. And I know that your family is in average and you can't bring out any precious gifts. If you don't leave, you will be ridiculed by Qi Guanyu."

Although she persuaded me kindly, I still insisted on my own ideas and refused to leave.

Seeing that I was not in the air, Xu Ningrou seemed to be a little disgusted. After saying a few words, she left straight.

I felt bitter in my heart, she didn't understand at all. Because of that strange dream, I had loved her for a long time. Now that someone snatched her love, I certainly can't retreat, so I can only stay here with my teeth!

As for the gift... I only have a "Snake Demon Pill" on me, taken from the Yin-Yang Qi Gathering Array. This is a half-thumb-sized crystal, radiating milky white light. Speaking of which, the Snake Demon Pill is an antique and is not bad at its preciousness. I will give it to the head of the Xu family later...

………………………………………

Ten minutes later, the birthday party officially began, and the legendary head of the Xu family finally appeared.

I saw that he was a middle-aged man in his forties, with clear edges and a sense of superiority. It was not difficult to see that he was a handsome guy when he was young, otherwise he would not have had a beautiful daughter as beautiful as Xu Ningrou.

As usual, he spoke before, just saying thank you for attending the banquet...

At this time, He Yangde whispered beside me: "Eat quickly later, let's leave after eating, don't pay attention. If the news of my fake antiques is spread, where can I put this old face?"

At this time, the head of the Xu family said in front: "Thank you very much for the gifts you sent and the gifts from the other seven major families. Including the thousand-year-old ginseng sent by the Zhang family, the original work of the "Goddess of Luo River" sent by the Chen family, the mutton fat jade bottle sent by the Qi family, and the Nangong family..."

After the head of the Xu family said that, Qi Guanyu stood up and said, "Uncle Xu, there is actually someone who has prepared a generous gift, but you didn't report it."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"He." As he said that, Qi Guanyu pointed over.

Seeing this, He Yangde's knees softened and almost knelt on the ground with fright! His expression was as ugly as eating a fly! Fortunately, I held him in time! It seemed that he mistakenly thought that the fake antique was going to be exposed, so he was scared like a bird.

But I was not much better either. I was so nervous at this time! I gritted my teeth and walked towards the head of the Xu family.

As soon as I got to the vicinity, I was stopped by two bodyguards in black. The meaning was obvious and I was forbidden to approach.

I took out the snake-snake demon pill from my pocket and said, "This is my gift. I wish my uncle a happy birthday and all my wishes come true."

After seeing what I took out, Qi Guanyu laughed out loud: "What you are going to give is this stone? Did you just pick it up outside? You actually fooled Uncle Xu with this kind of thing, you are so brave!"

The head of the Xu family also looked solemn, as if he would burst out at any time. At this time, Xu Ningrou stood up and reminded: "He is my friend, don't make things difficult for him."

The head of the Xu family ignored his daughter and said to the bodyguard: "Present the things."

The bodyguard presented the snake-snake demon pill, and the head of the Xu family held it in his hand, closed his eyes, and sensed it carefully.

There were three or four hundred people in the entire club, but none of them dared to breathe heavily, and the needle fell to him! It took about ten seconds before the head of the Xu family opened his eyes, and a flash of light was flashing in his eyes, looking at me and asked, "Child, do you know what this is?"

I nodded: "Demon Pill."

The head of the Xu family was slightly moved: "Since you know it is a demon pill, are you willing to give me such a precious thing?"

Rare? Although I guessed that the demon pill might have some collection value, I didn’t expect it to be so precious! Looking at the face of the head of the Xu family, you can tell that the thousand-year-old ginseng and mutton fat jade bottles just now could not move him, but this seemingly ordinary demon pill actually caused great fluctuations in his emotions...
