Young Master Feng, Your Lady Has Stunned the World! -Novel - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: The Painting is in Her Hands

Gu Chu straightened her back and asked the young man, “How much is it?”

The young man stretched out a few fingers. Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. “This is several times higher than the market price, right?”

“Some things have a price but no market, and some things… have a market but no price.” The young man’s tone was smug.

Therefore, there was no market price at all.

Gu Chu looked at the painting and was a little hesitant.

The young man shrugged indifferently. “Since you’re Lin Yu’s friend, I’ll give you a fixed price. If you don’t want it, I’ll immediately send it to the auction house. Maybe I can sell it for a higher price.”

Gu Chu looked at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu just happened to look at her. The two exchanged glances and knew what the other was planning.

Gu Chu smiled. “You said just now that you need the money now. If you sent it to the auction house, they might not be able to sell it for a while. It might take ten days to half a month, or it might even take a year. If you’re unlucky, you might not be able to sell it. Then, who knows when you’ll be able to sell it.”

Lin Yu nodded and added, “When it’s sold, you’ll have to pay the auction house a hefty commission. This will take up a lot of time, but you also have to spend a lot of money.”

Gu Chu continued, “You’ll also have to buy insurance for it. If anything happens to it on the way to the auction house, your loss will be even greater.”

Lin Yu nodded in agreement. “The insurance premium for antiques is not low, and there are usually hidden terms. If you are deceived, it is very likely that you will lose everything.”

They worked together to persuade him. He gritted his teeth and thought about it, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

“I would rather take some risks than sell it to you at a loss. Otherwise, my ancestors would not forgive me.”

“Hey.” Gu Chu patted his shoulder. “We’re all friends. Let’s take a step back. I’ll give you this much..”

She recited a number and said, “If you agree, I’ll give you the money now.”

The young man: “?”

…

They were so good at negotiating.

Lin Yu took Gu Chu’s hand off the man’s shoulder and smiled innocently. “I can write you a check without going through your bank. It’ll be more convenient for you.”

The young man was still hesitating when Gu Chu’s phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was from Feng Jia.

Gu Chu hung up and opened Wechat to reply to him. “I’m busy. Is there something urgent?”

Feng Jia only replied to her. “Come home early. I have something to tell you tonight.”

“Okay.”

The young man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. “Alright, deal!”

Gu Chu and Lin Yu looked at each other and smiled.

They had done a lot of such things together since they were young. They could tell what the other party was thinking with just a glance.

The young man was still a little angry. “You guys are really too cunning!”

Gu Chu realized that this man was interesting, so she asked, “Why can’t you go through your bank?”

Lin Yu replied, “He stole this painting. If there’s a large amount of money transferred into his bank account, won’t his father notice it?”

“He stole it?” Gu Chu took a look at the painting and was a little worried. “Then will there be a problem if I buy it?”

Lin Yu said, “Get him to sign a receipt.”

Gu Chu thought for a moment. “Let’s record a video.”

Double insurance.

The young man: “…”.

After the transaction was completed, Gu Chu carried the painting and left the clubhouse with Lin Yu. She was elated and caressed the painting gently.

Lin Yu saw that she was happy, so he was happy too. He said, “It’s been raining these few days at night. Be careful.”

Sure!

Gu Chu came to her senses. “Thank you. It’s all because of you that I get to have the painting.”

Lin Yu did not mind. “It’s nothing.”

“To me, it’s not a small matter.”

She wanted to give this painting to her mother.

She thought that she would be very happy to receive it.

She could also take advantage of her good mood to tell her the truth about Gu Wan’s disappearance back then.

In fact, Gu Wan had lied to her. This way, the misunderstanding between mother and daughter would be resolved.

The more Gu Chu thought about it, the better her mood became. Her almond-shaped eyes shone brightly under the candlelight from the lantern hanging in the corridor. “Lin Yu, shall we go eat?”
