Sometimes, Xu Lang felt that he was an abnormal person, an existence that couldn't be easily accepted by the masses. At this moment, he was thinking, if he were to completely reveal his true self to Shen Yuruo, would she still accept him?

Then, she thought, why did she need to do this? What was there to worry about? Furthermore, Shen Yuruo was not the type of girl who would change her mind, but to protect her pure nature, it was better to keep her unaware of everything.

Xu Lang stopped thinking too much and quickly returned home with Shen Yuruo. Aunt Gui had long prepared dinner for Young Master and Young Miss, but after hearing that the two of them had already eaten outside, Aunt Gui seemed to be very happy. She could tell that Young Master and Young Miss were feeling very good, and their relationship should be getting better and better!

It was rumored that the old man had treasured this painting for dozens of years, and never showed it to anyone easily, not even gave it to anyone easily. Although the value of this painting could not be considered high, it was worth more than a million, but the old man had liked this painting a lot, he never expected that the old man would be willing to give it to Shen Yuruo! The old man did not expect that the old man would give this painting to him, and even give it to Shen Yuruo!

Not only him, but the other men were also bringing gifts one after another, which made Aunt Gui even more surprised. She had been in the Shen family for so many years, but these people had never interacted with her before. From the gifts that they sent over, the ones that they wanted to please the most seemed to be their young master, as most of the gifts were gifts that men liked, causing Aunt Gui to be even more confused!

Although Aunt Gui didn't understand, Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo knew very well that this group of people were just trying to curry favor with Xu Lang. It was because of this guy that he had such a good relationship with the person in charge of the Huaxia District at the world's most famous and wealthiest bank, Riba Bank!

It was understandable that the elders of the Shen Family who sent the gifts were, after all, Xu Lang and his elders. It was enough for them to show that they were willing to gift a present, but due to face, it was impossible for the elders to personally deliver it, but for people like Liu Qilin from other families, no matter in terms of family status or seniority, they had to deliver it personally, showing their sincerity.

Most importantly, during today's banquet, Liu Qilin had indeed offended both Xu Lang. In order to ease the conflict between them, only by personally giving them a gift did Liu Qilin have the sincerity to show off!

It was coincidental that the young geniuses of the other clans that had appeared at the banquet today all brought their gifts, as they wanted to visit Xu Lang. Even the people from the various clans that were not present today had heard of the news at the banquet and did not fall behind, competing to be the first to present their gifts, as they fawned over Xu Lang and fawned over him.

These people could really bear to spend such a large sum of money and send such expensive gifts. Of course, in Shen Yuruo's opinion, there was nothing that she liked, and she did not care about the money at all. Thus, she instructed the Aunt Gui to pass it on.

However, Xu Lang had a different opinion: "Hey, Aunt Gui, don't you dare send me off. As the saying goes, you should not hit the giver. Shen Yuruo was helpless, she could only listen to Xu Lang's arrangements!

It was fine if he was giving them gifts, but Liu Qilin seemed a little shameless. He insisted on paying a visit to Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo personally, but Aunt Gui couldn't stop him, so he could only let him in.

Upon entering, he couldn't help but flatter and flatter Xu Lang, it was truly disgusting, but since he had entered, Shen Yuruo had to treat him with respect and instruct Aunt Gui to pour tea, but Liu Qilin's attention seemed to be focused on him, he looked like a villain, extremely flattering, and almost carried Xu Lang up to the sky!

In terms of value, it was even more precious than the one Shen Zhencheng brought, at least worth more than 2 million. Furthermore, according to Liu Qilin, this painting was the work of the Art Sage Wu Daozi from the Tang Dynasty, and it was also his early work. The painting had not been formed yet, and the size of the entire painting was still too small, so the value was not as high as the mature art, but it could be preserved well.

Liu Qilin respectfully handed the painting over to Xu Lang. He thought that for someone like Xu Lang, who knew how to sing and dance, and was extremely knowledgeable about red wine, he would definitely be an elegant person. Anyone with an elegant personality would definitely love to play with ancient calligraphy and painting, as if it was a standard skill.

Xu Lang chuckled and said, "As for me, I'm just a coarse old man who doesn't know anything about paintings or calligraphy." As he spoke, he took the painting from Liu Qilin and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but frown, and then, he returned it to Liu Qilin. "The gift was not sincere at all. Are you having any fun fooling me with a fake calligraphy painting?

Hearing that, Liu Qilin could not help but be shocked, because this painting was bought by him at a high price, and was appraised by many experts. It was indeed the genuine work of the Tang Dynasty's Art Sage Wu Daozi, how could it be fake? He was clearly a little embarrassed as he said: "Mr. Xu, you sure know how to joke around. This is the real deal, how could it be fake!"

Xu Lang did not want to say anymore, because he really did not feel any scent unique to antiques from this painting. Based on his past experiences, this painting must be fake.

However, Liu Qilin was unable to accept this conclusion, and shamelessly said: "Mr. Xu, I have no other intentions. I came here to pay my respects, sincerely congratulate you and Miss Shen on your marriage, and sincerely want to become friends with you. In the future, we will be friends.

Without waiting for Liu Qilin to finish speaking, Shen Yuruo, who was at the side, could not stand it any longer, and interrupted on behalf of Xu Lang: "Alright, stop talking, one more word, dinner is about to come out! Even if you are asking someone for help, at the very least, you should be sincere, right?

Unexpectedly, even Shen Yuruo had confirmed that this was a fake painting, causing Liu Qilin to feel indignant, he tried to defend himself: "Mr. Xu, Miss Shen, even if you two are not willing to be friends with me, you can't be insulting me, right? This painting of mine is absolutely a true masterpiece! So many experts have appraised it, how could it be fake? "

In truth, Shen Yuruo did not understand the authenticity of calligraphy and painting. Although the company that she had created was actually involved in this field, she did not have the knowledge to appraise antiques or calligraphy. The things that Xu Lang had done before gave her a lot of confidence, and he believed that Xu Lang's judgement should not be wrong.

But at this moment, looking at Liu Qilin's miserable and wronged look, who seemed to not be lying, and how this simple and elegant painting didn't seem fake, she didn't know how to continue. He could only hear Xu Lang coldly say: "It doesn't matter if the painting you took was real or fake, I can't even speak for you, but you actually dared to have ideas about my wife.

He knew that he had already torn off all decorum with Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo today. No matter how much sincerity he had in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to befriend these two. Since that was the case, why should he be afraid of them?

However, Xu Lang actually insulted him with his words, saying that the painting was fake, making it hard for him to accept it. He suddenly stood up, and said furiously: "Xu Lang, don't be so shameless, I showed such great sincerity, sending you the genuine work of Art Saint Wu Daozi, who's worth more than two million, directly. I merely want to befriend you, why do you have to be so distant from me? "I advise you to not fail to appreciate my kindness. We are all business people, it is better to have one more friend than one other person. It is better to have one more enemy. Why do you need to act like this?"

Since this brat was so insolent, Xu Lang would not be polite. He was just about to kick this fellow out, but right at this moment, he saw that Liu Qilin was carefully rolling up the painting, and was about to put it back into the box. At the same time, Xu Lang suddenly felt a trace of dense and refreshing air, and couldn't help but frown and think that he had said something bad in his heart.

It was obvious that Liu Qilin was very confident in his painting, and for a villain like him, since he had already decided that it was impossible to become friends with Xu Lang and Shen Yuruo, and since he could not be friends, it would be better for him to be a complete enemy. Therefore, he did not hesitate to argue with the two of them, in order to gain a upper hand.

He angrily said: "What's so great about you two? I tell you, I've had enough! Today, I must demand an explanation. If this painting is indeed as you say, fake, then I will tear it up on the spot, apologize to you in front of everyone, and compensate you with at least 3 million in its original price! "But if this painting is real and you two are the one falsely accusing me, then you two must apologize to me in public and compensate me with at least 3 million!"

Regarding Liu Qilin's generous and indignant bet, Xu Lang also understood, after all, no one wanted to be misunderstood, and what's more, after all it was the work of the Art Sage Wu Daozi that had been hoarded for so many years, to suddenly be called a fake, no one would be able to accept it!

Xu Lang wanted to say something, but he did not expect Shen Yuruo to take charge first. He got up angrily, and said angrily: "Alright, since you want to play, then we'll follow you to the end. We'll accept this wager!"

Every single time, it seemed like Xu Lang was deliberately putting on a show of not having any confidence. But in reality, every single time, he was able to make a great reversal, so Shen Yuruo believed in Xu Lang's judgement, especially regarding the judgement of the antiques, this guy was always able to deduce the truth of the things she said with extreme accuracy. So, this time, he also unconditionally chose to believe in Xu Lang, so she accepted the bet on Xu Lang's behalf!

Xu Lang, who was sitting behind him, was speechless. He scratched his head awkwardly, and did not know what to do, although Shen Yuruo trusted him, she had always been a steady girl, why was she so impulsive this time? But at the same time, he understood that Shen Yuruo did this not because of impulse, but because she trusted him. Furthermore, she couldn't stand Liu Qilin's obvious provocation either!
