Cao Yuqing was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and her nails dug into her palms. The pain only allowed her to stay rational.
Seeing that her eyes were red with anger, President Cao felt sorry for his granddaughter after all, and knew that she would be humiliating herself by asking for the truth.
So, he said half-jokingly: "Yu Qing, do you regret seeing Manshu learn to gamble on stones? Didn't you agree at the beginning that you would learn to appraise treasures in the future and inherit your grandfather's mantle?"
After President Cao made such a joke, everyone remembered that Miss Cao was already a top student in the Department of Archeology at University C. When she graduates, she will directly inherit President Cao's mantle.
It doesn't matter whether she learns gambling or not.
Who would have thought that Cao Yuqing had approached Mr. Zhu several times and pestered Mr. Zhu to become a disciple, but was rejected?
Cao Yuqing calmed down and glanced at Mr. Cao angrily: "Grandpa, what did you say? Of course I won't regret it. Treasure appraisal is also very interesting. I picked up a piece of Li Tinggui ink in Tianfu Lane last week.
.”
"Is it really Li Tinggui?" There was an old man next to him who was a collector and preferred the Four Treasures of the Study and calligraphy and painting.
When I heard it was Li Tingguimo, I instantly became interested.
Seeing that everyone's attention was diverted, Cao Yuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think so. When there is a chance another day, Yuqing will ask the seniors for advice and help them grow their eyes."
The collector nodded hurriedly: "It's natural. I've been collecting it for a long time and haven't come across a good piece of Li Tinggui ink. If Yuqing picks up the real thing, I'll have to appreciate it."
"If Yuqing is willing to give up her love, I can also bid for it."
Cao Yuqing returned to her usual aloofness and politely refused: "If it is really Li Tinggui's ink, it will definitely not be sold. When I bought that piece of ink, I thought of my grandpa's love for calligraphy and wanted to give it to him."
President Cao touched his beard and felt pleased by his granddaughter's words: "It's good that you have such a heart. Just keep it for yourself."
Someone nearby praised Cao Yuqing: "If Yuqing succeeds in picking up the leak this time, he will be considered a master. President Cao will have a successor, which is really enviable."
"Isn't it true? Yuqing's talent in treasure appraisal is unmatched by the incompetent juniors in our family."
A young man from another family is an admirer of Cao Yuqing.
I know that she has tried to become a disciple of Zhu Lao many times, but without success.
Now I see her boldly asking questions and being ridiculed by Mr. Zhu, which makes her feel gloomy.
He stared at Manshu with cold eyes.
"Since you are Mr. Zhu's apprentice, you must have some skills. I heard that Mr. Zhu has a lot of collections at home. Why don't you let Miss Manshu open a few pieces of jade and give us some insights?"
Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Liu Hong pretended to be generous: "If Miss Manshu can sell jade, no matter what it is, I will take it all."
The elders of the Liu family were furious.
"What do you charge?" With the little money you have in hand, can you afford Mr. Zhu's collection?
I'm afraid you're not here to discredit our family!
Cao Yuqing's eyes lit up: "I'm afraid Manshu has just become a disciple and hasn't started yet. Liu Hong, don't deliberately embarrass me."
After saying that, she looked at Manshu again and comforted her, "Sister Manshu, you have to study hard, we are all doing this for your own good. We are all our own people here today and we will not make things difficult for you."
Cao Yuqing was like a close sister at this time. She peeked at Yan Zhan out of the corner of her eye and was a little disappointed when she found that he was not looking at her.
