"You just said that you have 'Luo Shen Painting'?!" Liu Renshi said.
Lin Tian saw that the shop assistant was still looking at him with disdain. His anger that had just subsided suddenly flared up again.
"Since your shop doesn't welcome us, we have plenty of places to sell paintings. Xiaoxiao, let's go."
Lin Tian was about to leave with Liu Xiaoxiao when Liu Renshi stopped them again.
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Renshi's eyes were fixed on the wooden box in Lin Tian's hand. He chuckled and said, "Dear customer, you can go and ask around. Buying antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, on this street, no one can offer a higher price than me."
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, only to hear the shop assistant say again, "Humph, you said so much, it must be a fake painting."
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Which eye of yours saw that this painting is fake? I clearly didn't take it out."
"If you didn't take it out, it means you are guilty."
"It means I don't want to show it to you at all."
"You!"
At this moment, another person entered the Wonderful Treasure House. "What's so noisy???"
"Ah, Boss Wei, you are here." The shop assistant immediately showed a flattering smile.
Wei Shuping was the big boss of this antique street. Almost no one dared to offend him.
Wei Shuping had just graduated from college a few years ago. He was almost 30 years old, but he looked like a bald man.
His eyes were fixed on Liu Xiaoxiao. Well, the more he looked at this girl, the more familiar she was, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"Boss Wei, what do you need?" Liu Renshi also stood respectfully on the side.
"Oh, I don't need it now. I just heard some noise outside, so I came in to see what happened." Wei Shuping said. His eyes fell on the refreshed Lin Tian, "This is?"
The shop assistant hurriedly said, "Boss Wei, you don't know, this guy brought a fake painting to our shop to sell. Fortunately, I stopped him."
Lin Tian was very angry now, "Hey, why are you twisting the truth over there?"
Wei Shuping was also curious about the ancient wooden box in Lin Tian's hand. He said, "Young man, since you said it's real, why don't you take it out and show it to us?"
Lin Tian was still a little hesitant.
"I'm selling this. If you don't buy it after seeing it, won't I lose money?"
"Young man, don't worry. As long as you bring it over, I will definitely accept it. At that time, you have the final say on how much it will cost." Liu Renshi said.
"Alright!" Lin Tian agreed.
"However, boss, are you sure that his is true?" The clerk still had doubts about Lin Tian.
"Since that's the case, let this old man appraise it." A trembling old man walked in.
When Wei Shuping saw the old man, his attitude also became very respectful.
When Liu Xiaoxiao saw him, she also went forward.
"Grandpa Xu."
"Good child."
Everyone was shocked. How could this poor brat's girlfriend know Mr. Xu Wanhai? From the looks of it, their relationship seemed to be pretty good.
Xu Wanhai? Who was Xu Wanhai? Lin Tian muttered Gugu. Someone beside him reminded him, "Don't you know? Mr. Xu Wanhai is a famous treasure expert in our country. As long as he takes a look at a treasure, he will know how much it is worth."
"He was also on CCTV's treasure appraisal program."
Lin Tian remembered. No wonder he looked so familiar. Sometimes, Lin Haitang would watch such programs, and he would watch them too. It was just that he didn't remember the name of the expert.
"Xiaoxiao, you've suffered." Xu Wanhai spoke to Liu Xiaoxiao like an elder.
"Not at all. Grandpa Xu, my boyfriend wants to sell paintings. I hope you can be merciful …" Liu Xiaoxiao said.
Xu Wanhai glanced at Lin Tian and then looked at the black wooden box in his hand.
He smiled, "Little girl, don't worry. Grandpa Xu still has this ability. Of course, I also believe in your boyfriend."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Tian, "Young man, please."
Lin Tian nodded.
"In that case, Mr. Xu, please wait and see." Lin Tian chose a long table and slowly unrolled the painting.
As the painting unrolled, people seemed to slowly see Luo Shen's beauty, Cao Zhi's infatuation, and the parting under the setting sun.
Xu Wanhai's gaze followed the unrolling of the painting. Sometimes, he frowned, sometimes he was shocked, sometimes he praised, and sometimes he nodded.
Following Mr. Xu Wanhai's gaze to the last part of the painting, Lin Tian saw the corners of Mr. Xu Wanhai's mouth curl up. He felt that he had already won.
After a long time, Xu Wanhai carefully looked at the painting. Then, he stood up. Everyone present held their breath, waiting for Xu Wanhai's answer.
"Cough." Xu Wanhai coughed.
"Elder Xu, what do you think? Should we still ask him to leave?" The shop assistant from before looked at Lin Tian and said as if his scheme had succeeded.
After hearing his words, the crowd began to stir.
"So, this is really a fake painting."
"Daring to act smart in front of Elder Xu, this person is finished."
The boss of Wonderful Treasure House hesitated.
Lin Tian was not swayed by these slanderous words.
Xu Wanhai slowly stood up amidst the questioning voices of the crowd. He walked up to Lin Tian and said, "Young man, how much is this painting? I want it. Name a price."
"What?" Hearing this, the crowd boiled again.
"Elder Xu, you …"
"Don't interrupt. I said, I want this painting."
"Then why did you sigh just now?"
"I … I was just afraid that this young man's price would be too high."
So this was what he was worried about!
It seemed that the painting in this young man's hand was the real thing!
"You bastard!" The boss of Wonderful Treasure House reacted and slapped the shop assistant hard on the face.
Then, he quickly walked to Lin Tian. "Young man, I'm sorry. My staff has been rude to you. Please don't be angry …" The boss of Wonderful Treasure House wanted to strangle the shop assistant. This young man was now someone that Xu Wanhai had his eyes on. He could not afford to offend him.
"It's okay. I know who's good and who's bad." Lin Tian saw that the boss of Wonderful Treasure House was kind and did not want to make things difficult for him.
But Lin Tian glanced at the shop assistant. He had already seen through the shop assistant's intentions with his X-ray vision pill. Where did he hear the news and come here to embarrass him?
The shop assistant felt guilty under Lin Tian's stare and avoided his eyes.
"Young man, name a price." Xu Wanhai was still very persistent. No matter what, this painting, he must have it!
"Since Elder Xu wants this painting so much, then I can only part with it." Lin Tian pretended to be thinking hard. "Then, give me one million first …"
"Deposit."
"How much is the total price?"
"Twenty million."
Lin Tian's exorbitant demand caused everyone present to be stunned.
Originally, it was one million. Okay, that was normal. But now, he suddenly asked for twenty million. Who could accept this?
