In a luxurious villa in Linyi City, when you push open the bronze door decorated with hollow reliefs, you will see an extremely luxurious hall.
The magnificent design and glittering decoration make you feel like you are in a royal castle in the new century.
In the corner of the hall, four elegant middle-aged men and women were sitting together, playing mahjong.
What they play is not an automatic mahjong table, but a manual mahjong table, which exudes a tacky and expensive feel.
The mahjong they use is made of pure ivory. A pair of mahjong is extremely expensive and shows their noble status.
The mahjong players are divided into two men and two women. They are the heads and wives of the Bai family and the Liu family, two of the four largest families in Linyi City.
Bai Xiong is wearing white cotton casual clothes, with a fair face and no beard. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he has the handsomeness of a mature man. He is the head of the Bai family and the father of Bai Lixuan.
Sitting on Bai Xiong's right hand is his wife Huo Yiyi, a middle-aged woman who is slightly fatter and pampered.
Opposite Baixiong was a middle-aged man with broad bones, a thin face, and a hooked nose. He was wearing a shirt and vest, and had a pocket watch hanging in his chest pocket. He looked like a nostalgic old scholar.
It is Liu Xueyuan's father and the head of the Liu family, Liu Fengsheng.
Sitting on the right side of Liu Fengsheng is his wife, Liu Xueyuan's mother, Jin Xiangyu. From the looks of it, Liu Xueyuan's beauty has completely followed this person's. Although she is middle-aged, she is well-maintained and still beautiful.
"Ninety thousand." Bai Xiong played a card, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, in a short while, we will become in-laws. I have paid enough for the betrothal gift, but I just don't want it."
I know what kind of dowry you will give to that girl Xueyuan when the time comes."
As soon as this was said, the four people present all laughed kindly.
Liu Fengsheng smiled lightly and said: "The dowry must be quite a lot, but since you asked, Brother Bai, I know you must have something in mind.
Let's do this, you see what's rare in my family, if you ask, I will use it as a dowry for Xueyuan."
Bai Xiong's eyes lit up, he looked at a landscape painting hanging on the wall and said, "You know, I've been thinking about that "Autumn Picture of a Pavilion by a Brook" for a long time."
Liu Fengsheng's hand that was touching the cards paused, and he said in a dumbfounded voice: "Ha, I knew it. You old boy, you have no good intentions!"
Huo Yiyi and Jin Xiangyu both covered their mouths and laughed.
Huo Yiyi rolled her eyes at Bai Xiong, slapped him, and said coquettishly: "You know how to cause problems for your in-laws, isn't this taking advantage of others!"
Jin Xiangyu patted the back of Liu Fengsheng's hand and said softly: "My in-laws actually like it, so I'll give it to my in-laws. As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero, and a famous painting is given to an elegant person."
Liu Fengsheng shook his head and sighed: ""Autumn Picture at the Pavilion by the Brook" was a treasure in He Xinhong's hand, and it was difficult for Bai Xiong and I to even take a second look at it.
A year ago, I divided up the big cake of the He family. For this "Autumn Picture of the Brook Pavilion", I got a lot of benefits from the discount.
When I think about giving it to this guy, Bai Xiong, my heart hurts so much that I can’t breathe!”
But Bai Xiong laughed and said: "So, you agreed?"
Liu Fengsheng rolled his eyes, picked up the hot tea cup, blew a sip of tea leaves on the surface of the water, causing ripples, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I give it to you, but I can't just let you take it away. After all, it is a priceless ancient masterpiece.
.
Let's do this, I will hold an auction banquet in a few days, and then this painting will be auctioned off as the grand finale. You can ask someone to raise the price to 320 million, and then just take the painting away.
As a result, the price of this painting has increased several times. If you really want to sell it one day, how can others have the nerve to lower the price too much? Don't you think so?"
The four people present laughed kindly together again.
They are the most powerful group of people in Linyi City. The so-called gold and silver wealth is no longer important in their eyes.
A priceless painting is certainly precious, but since one person wants it, the other person is willing to give it to him. From the moment Baixiong opened his mouth, this ending was actually destined.
As for Huo Yiyi's blocking and Jin Xiangyu's persuasion, it was just the proper process.
After all, after they get married, the income and profits they will bring will far exceed the value of a famous painting.
Liu Fengsheng's move not only gave away the painting, but also increased the price of the painting. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
The prices of items are all speculated.
Rich people make money, and sometimes it's just that simple.
Sipping tea, Liu Fengsheng looked at Bai Xiong: "Speaking of which, the two children should have announced their wedding date at Mingyuan Villa on the left bank, right?
Tonight at Xueyuan's birthday party, let them get engaged in front of celebrities from all walks of life in Linyi. The purpose is to announce to everyone that our two families will be inseparable from now on.
I think our previous arrangements can be implemented starting from tomorrow."
Bai Xiong smiled and nodded: "Yes, make money sooner rather than later. I think so too."
As soon as they finished speaking, their cell phones suddenly rang at the same time, almost in no particular order.
The faces of the four people all showed a little surprise.
Given Bai Xiong and Liu Fengsheng's status, few people would dare to call them at this time of night.
In other words, since the call came, it is no small matter!
They each looked at their phones and found that it was their children, Bai Lixuan and Liu Xueyuan, calling.
A doting smile appeared on Liu Rufeng's face, and she said lightly: "These two children don't need to report the good news together..."
Jin Xiangyu warned: "Ask the two children if they want to come back for soup later. Drinking alcohol will hurt your stomach."
Liu Fengsheng nodded and answered the phone.
Bai Xiong also answered the phone with a smile.
"Dad! The adopted son of the He family, Han Jiulin, is back! Uncle Fu is dead! I was beaten!" It was the voice of Liu Xueyuan's gritted teeth.
"Dad, someone came to Xueyuan's birthday party today to cause trouble. It's Han Jiulin, He Zhuo's brother with a different surname! He is provoking us and sentenced us to death!" This was Bai Lixuan's gloomy voice.
The four people at the card table all changed their expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely depressing!
Bai Xiong and Liu Fengsheng looked at each other, and they both saw cold murderous intent in each other's eyes, especially Liu Fengsheng, whose face was as gloomy as ice.
"My dear daughter, please wait a moment. Your Uncle Bai and I will come over now. If anything happens, we can tell you in person when we arrive."
Bai Xiong nodded and said to the phone: "Wait."
The two of them suddenly stood up, and Bai Xiong sneered: "He Xinhong's adopted son dares to go back to Linyi to dance? What does he want to do, a lone hero to avenge his brother and father?"
Liu Fengsheng said in a cold voice: "I don't care what he wants to do, if he dares to beat my daughter or kill my housekeeper, I will make his head fall to the ground tonight!"
Jin Xiangyu and Huo Yiyi also stood up with cold faces!
"Crush that little beast into thousands of pieces!" Huo Yiyi's face looked ferocious!
Jin Xiangyu also said very cruelly: "Yes, chop him into pieces and feed them to the dogs! And whether he has any relatives or friends, they will all be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs!"
They are rich and noble people in Linyi. When they have nothing to do, they are affable and polite. They are more gentlemen than Western gentlemen.
But if someone offends them, they will show their claws and declare their majesty!
They are the four major families in Linyi City, and they are the local emperors of Linyi City!
They are not to be offended!
They tolerate no offense!
Anyone who dares to offend them, no matter who they are, will pay the price they deserve!
