"What?" One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and as soon as the old man spoke, the people around him all poked their heads out to look over.
"What the hell, does this melon stay ripe?"
"Nonsense, that's Elder Zhang from the Guwu family. Can what he said be wrong?"
Everyone shouted lowly, with shock in their eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, are you sure you read it correctly? Is it really the ancient breathing method of the legendary ancient martial arts family?" someone else asked.
"You can't be wrong!" The old man said resolutely, with uncontrollable excitement on his face: "When I saw it in ancient books, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect to meet it in person today..."
"Mr. Zhang, are you sure?"
After hearing this, several other business tycoons also came over and asked with curious expressions. At the same time, their eyes were extremely fiery. If it was really the ancient breathing method of the Guwu family, its value would be inestimable.
You know, the Zhang family only learned a little bit of ancient martial arts and became an ancient martial arts family, ranking among the rich!
"My dear friend, can I take a look at this thing? I am willing to pay 10 million... no, 100 million!" Mr. Zhang said to Xiao Ye, the desire in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
After hearing his words, the expressions of the other business tycoons also became anxious, and they wanted to rush over and snatch the piece of calligraphy and painting, because they knew very well that as long as they mastered this art of breathing, it would be equivalent to owning it. Endless wealth and money.
"Ahem..." Xiao Ye coughed twice.
"I don't want to sell it. I'm just an ignorant boy, just a coincidence."
As Xiao Ye spoke, he glanced at Hu Wei, full of provocation.
Sure enough, when he heard Xiao Ye's answer, Hu Wei's body trembled slightly and he was shaking with anger.
Below, Liu Rou was stunned when she saw this scene.
Is this still the little licking dog next to me that comes whenever called? With a wave of his hand, he has a wealth of no less than 100 million?
For a moment, she felt a strong sense of regret for the decision she had made earlier. If she had known this, she would have taken some benefits.
"idiot!"
Zhao Yasi said coldly.
At this moment, everyone present was shocked. They did not expect Zhao Yasi to say this, let alone Hu Wei to be so stupid.
However, what he said just now also made everyone confirm the value of the painting. It should be the ancient breathing method, one of the four ancient secret arts.
The value is inestimable, as long as you learn a little bit of it, it will be enough for a lifetime.
Of course, the premise is that you can understand the ancient words above.
"My little friend, this thing is very important to me, so I hope I can part with it."
Mr. Zhang couldn't care less about face at this moment and kept winking at Xiao Ye.
Several other business tycoons around him also rushed towards Xiao Ye.
"Little friend, I will offer 150 million..."
"Little friend, I will offer 200 million..."
"Two hundred and fifty million..."
"I will pay 300 million..."
One by one they started bidding, as if they would be embarrassed to convince Xiao Ye if they didn't take some action at this time.
Looking at the expressions of these big guys, Xiao Ye almost laughed out loud. They increased the prices one by one without blushing or beating.
In fact, what he wants to say is that these big guys can't understand the words on it at all, and even if they get it, it's just a dead thing.
Facing the eager gazes of everyone, Xiao Ye shook his head slightly and turned to Zhao Yasi, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Everyone, the bidding funds for this painting were provided by Miss Zhao."
"So, any decision about this painting should be made by Miss Zhao."
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Yasi.
Her expression was calm, but with an unquestionable determination.
She looked around and then spoke slowly.
"In this case, I don't plan to sell this painting."
As soon as Zhao Yasi finished speaking, there was a sigh of disappointment.
Although the business tycoons were sorry, they did not continue to entangle.
They all know the influence of the Zhao family in Jiangcheng and even Southern Province.
They could only respect Zhao Yasi's decision.
When Liu Rou saw this scene, her unwillingness and jealousy became stronger.
She couldn't understand why Xiao Ye could be favored by the daughter of a top family like Zhao Yasi.
The auction ended quickly, and Xiao Ye and Zhao Yasi left the venue together.
After Liu Rou witnessed all this, the jealousy in her heart reached its peak.
She quickly caught up with Xiao Ye and Zhao Yasi and stopped in front of them with an arrogant look.
"Xiao Ye, I know you tried your best, but I am willing to give you a chance now."
There was a hint of pride in Liu Rou's voice.
"You come home with me, and I can consider returning your 200,000 yuan as a bride price."
"However, after we get married, my name must be on the house and car."
Xiao Ye stopped and turned around, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.
He looked at Liu Rou and his voice was calm and firm.
"Liu Rou, you are so shameless."
"Those 200,000 yuan will be just like feeding the dogs. From today on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
Liu Rou's expression changed, anger and humiliation intertwined on her face.
Liu Rou was irritated by Xiao Ye's cold response, and her voice rose a bit, full of anger and sarcasm.
"You heartless person! Don't you want to save your father who is dying? You are so ignorant. In the end, you are still a poor loser!"
Xiao Ye remained calm in the face of Liu Rou's scolding, with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"Liu Rou, you really know nothing. The cost of my father's treatment has long been no longer an issue."
Liu Rou said mockingly.
"Have you started to live a soft life? Find a rich man and you don't have to worry about it?"
Xiao Ye turned a blind eye to Liu Rou's provocation and did not respond. He turned around and continued walking with Zhao Yasi.
But Liu Rou was unwilling to accept it and continued to block their way.
At this moment, Zhao Yasi turned her head and glared at Liu Rou with her cold and majestic eyes.
The undoubted power revealed in those eyes made Liu Rou feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Liu Rou was shocked by Zhao Yasi's aura and suddenly lost her previous arrogance.
Her voice became deeper, her lips trembled, and she no longer dared to say another word.
Xiao Ye and Zhao Yasi walked past Liu Rou side by side without giving her any attention.
The silhouettes of the two people were elongated under the light, looking particularly coordinated.
Zhao Yasi said softly: "Don't pay attention to this kind of person, she is not worth your time."
Xiao Ye turned to Zhao Yasi with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Ms. Zhao, thank you for your help today. I will return the two hundred thousand to you as soon as possible."
Zhao Yasi smiled slightly and waved her hand.
"You don't have to be so anxious. What you helped me do today is far more than just 200,000 yuan."
"You have also seen the value of that painting."
Xiao Ye's face flashed with determination.
"No matter what, I will definitely pay back the two hundred thousand. This is my principle."
Zhao Yasi looked at Xiao Ye's determined eyes, and her respect for him increased a little more.
She nodded slightly in agreement.
“Okay, then I’ll do as you say.
Xiao Ye thanked Zhao Yasi, and then they drove to the hospital together.
In the night, the car lights cut through the dark tranquility, but Xiao Ye's heart was peaceful.
After arriving at the hospital, Xiao Ye quickly went to the payment window and paid the fee for his father's surgery without hesitation.
Zhao Yasi nodded, her eyes full of understanding and support.
"You stay with your father first, don't worry about other things. I will handle the affairs between us. I wish your father a smooth operation."
Xiao Ye looked at Zhao Yasi gratefully.
"Thank you very much, Miss Zhao."
Zhao Yasi smiled softly, turned around and left the hospital.
Xiao Ye walked into the ward and saw the anxious face of his mother Liu Guifang.
He whispered to his mother.
"Mom, now you don't have to worry about money anymore, everything has been solved."
Liu Guifang looked a little surprised when she heard Xiao Ye's words, and an incredible light flashed in her eyes.
She asked with concern: "Xiao Ye, where did you get the money? You didn't do anything stupid, right?"
Xiao Ye comforted his mother with a smile.
"Mom, don't worry, I didn't do anything illegal. The most important thing now is that Dad can get timely treatment."
Liu Guifang looked at Xiao Ye personally, with mixed emotions in her eyes, including relief and worry.
She told Xiao Ye: "Then you must remember that no matter what, you must not do anything illegal."
"Although our family is poor, we cannot lose our principles of life."
Xiao Ye nodded and responded affectionately.
"Mom, I understand. I will never do anything against my principles."
"Don't worry, I will solve our difficulties in a legitimate way."
After hearing this, Liu Guifang's worries finally eased a little.
