In the main room, Old Master Shen put up his reading glasses and used a magnifying glass under the lamp to look carefully at the small square pot that Xing Yan brought.
After a long time, he sighed, “Since Mr. Xing believes in me, this old man will tell the truth. This is an imitation of the official kiln of the Song Dynasty during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty and is not an authentic product.”
Xiao Lin’s heart tightened. He lowered his head, not daring to look at his boss’s face.
Xing Yan’s expression did not change at all. He picked up the small square pot, looked at it, and then threw it into the box he brought.
Old Master Shen was startled, grabbed the pot below with a swiftness that should not have been expected at this age, and glared: “Although it is an imitation, the value of imitations during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty is not much lower than the real thing. Even if you don’t want it, don’t waste it!”
Xing Yan did not expect that his random actions could cause such a big reaction from Old Master Shen. He did not know much about it. He only heard that it was not genuine, so he thought it was a worthless fake. He immediately wanted to smash it.
Who would have expected that the old man spoke slowly and only spoke half of the words?
The Old Master Shen held the small square pot like a treasure and carefully put it into the box. After taking a final look, he sighed, shook his head slowly, and said, “This old man doesn’t have enough energy to keep guests. I’m neglecting you two.”
This meant to see off the guests. Xing Yan gave Xiao Lin a wink.
Xiao Lin understood immediately and respectfully handed over a check, “It’s just a small thing, but it’s not a sign out of respect. I hope the Old Master will accept it.”
Old Master Shen did not look at the check and nodded coldly.
“Excuse me for disturbing you today. Goodbye.” Xing Yan stood up and said politely. Then, he turned around and walked out. Xiao Lin quickly followed with the box in his arms.
After they walked away, Old Master Shen put the check into the drawer. He casually glanced at the amount on it and saw a string of zeros behind it. He frowned and opened his mouth to ask the nanny to stop the person. After thinking about it, he gave up and shook his head again, “This Xing family…”
He did not continue what he wanted to say. After all, it was not the behavior of a gentleman to talk about people behind their backs.
In fact, even if he uttered the words ‘rich and powerful’ in front of Xing Yan, Xing Yan would not be offended because he is indeed rich and has never intended to hide it.
Although the Xing family is one of the most prominent families in Lincheng, their real fortune is only a matter of one or two generations. They have only been rich for a short time and have little foundation.
In the eyes of those from a truly upper-class family whose family has been passed down for more than a hundred years, their family is considered a nouveau riche.
Xing Yan’s evaluation of others is clear. He also admits that he is a nouveau riche, but so what?
Those so-called upper-class people who have higher eyes than the top, when they see him, don’t they have to be polite, or even rush to fawn over him?
No other reason, it is just because he is rich, richer than others. If he has money, he can do whatever he wants.
He stepped out of the main room and heard the sound of the violin again. He raised his head and glanced at the balcony. Due to the angle, he finally saw half of the slightly dropped side face.
He casually asked Xiao Lin: “Who is that?”
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said, “It should be Master Shen’s granddaughter.”
The person on the balcony probably saw two strangers coming into the house. She put down her violins and glanced here, her face cold and reserved.
“Hey, a cultured cold beauty.” Xing Yan whistled in his heart.
