876 Priceless
Director Yang had a white ring on his finger for today’s party. It was a symbol of his status and how far he had reached in life.
It wasn’t easy to obtain this ring.
It was also a well-made accessory, clearly tailored to his taste.
However, even he couldn’t believe the four-inched tall white jade buddha placed right on the tray. It glinted under the sunlight, making it quite a striking sight.
Director Yang quietly took off the jade ring on his thumb and shoved it into his pocket.
Although he was discrete with his movements, Yao Ran saw it.
She knew what he meant.
For some reason, she felt relieved in her heart.
Director Yang had really agreed to marry her for the medicine bottle she had.
However, she knew that Director Yang had been working with her all this time. In fact, she was actually annoyed with the Yao Family in A City. She believed that they were being too petty.
After all, the Yao Family wasn’t even one of the top families in A City, let alone the capital.
Yao Ran had always known about this, but there’s nothing else she could do.
Now, the person who had actually brought the gift over was nothing short of magnificent. The person had gifted her a four-inch white jade Buddha statue, which crushed white jade ring. It obviously raised the status of their family.
It was a gift that had brought glory to the Yao Family.
Of course, as Yao Ran was included in the family, she was also being blessed with the gift.
After Chief Yang had put away his ring, he felt even more uncomfortable with all the praises coming back and forth. He pursed his lips.
The red coral should’ve been more than enough to be used as a birthday present.
Who knew that he’d witness someone giving away a White Jade Longevity Buddha today?
“I didn’t expect that someone would go through so much trouble just to get on their good side, don’t you think?”
Director Yang slowly shook his head. “Ah, it seemed that our whereabouts have been exposed. That’s why they must’ve arranged a gift for us in advance.”
As soon as these words were spoken, they all understood what he meant.
It turned out that these gifts were all for the Yang Family. Otherwise, how could the Yao Family receive such generous gifts? They weren’t even that influential.
Someone must’ve known of the engagement between the Yang and the Yao Family. That was why they have sent all of these over. The guests slowly nodded in understanding.
“So that’s how it is. I was wondering why someone would be this generous. It turns out that it’s all thanks to them.”
“I understand.”
Everyone glanced over at Director Yang in admiration.
This was as expected from the Yang Family.
Feeling the crowd’s envious gaze, he slowly straightened his collar. He pretended that he didn’t care about this as he glanced over at the second gift.
“Next, we present the painting.”
The man in a white suit pretended not to hear their discussion. His face was blank as they removed the red cloth.
Swish!
The moment the red cloth was lifted, they all gazed in awe at the landscape painting.
In the corner of the frame was the seal belonging to the famous artist and poet. Just that signature alone would cost the painting millions of dollars.
Master Lu gasped. He happened to be a high member in the Painter Association.
As soon as he heard the name of the gift, his eyebrows raised in disbelief. He gazed at the gift under the red cloth, believing it to be a fake gift.
After all, he had seen plenty of copycats.
However, when he saw the painting in the hall, he was completely stunned. He didn’t move.
“Oh my god, it’s real!”
Master Lu squeezed out of the crowd and gazed at the painting in shock. His hands were trembling, feeling his feet stiffen. He took a deep breath.
Only one painting was displayed in the museum, and it was a treasure to behold.
He didn’t know where else to buy the others.
Only three years ago, at the auction in the capital, there was a painting by Master Bai shit that had been auctioned off at an astronomical price. At that time, everyone had confirmed that it was the real thing!
He didn’t expect that it would be gifted here.
This was a priceless treasure!
