Chapter 714

He had seen photos of Shu Xia an hour ago.

Whether it was a profile view, a front-facing view, or photos from various angles, he had seen them all.

Shu Xia nodded toward Li Yuan, then continued to examine the Ancient Painting before her; only these few Ancient Paintings remained.

Li Qianqian walked up to Li Yuan, "Brother, why are you back so early today? It's perfect, I'll introduce you to my friend later. She works in Gu Lao's team and is extremely, extremely capable. I invited her over today to help look at these things in our home to see if they are real and to estimate their approximate value."

The confidence in her tone made it seem as if knowing Shu Xia was some extraordinary matter.

Li Yuan's voice lowered slightly, audible only to the two siblings, and his expression was somewhat serious, "When did you get to know her?"

Hearing Li Yuan's serious tone, Li Qianqian raised an eyebrow, suddenly giggled, and blinked as she said, "Is Sister Xia Xia not exceptionally beautiful? Did you fall in love at first sight? Compared to those messy women around you, Sister Xia Xia is worth more than a hundred of them combined! Brother, if you are truly good to me, you will pursue her and make her my sister-in-law. I guarantee that if she becomes my sister-in-law, I will listen to whatever you say in the future, absolutely no arguments!"

A beauty like Shu Xia could indeed stun someone at a single glance.

Even just seeing the photos, he had been stunned once an hour ago.

Those who finally came to him with the photos would always offer a sky-high price.

Li Yuan swept another glance toward Shu Xia.

The woman's expression was focused, undisturbed by the outside world, and she possessed an aura that belonged uniquely to her.

She should be younger than him, yet she understood these profound things.

No one in Gu Lao's team could just casually slack off or coast on their credentials.

Sensing that Li Yuan was involuntarily looking at Shu Xia again, hope surged in Li Qianqian's heart.

It looks like there's a chance!

If Shu Xia could become her sister-in-law, she would be overjoyed!

"Brother, say something, you haven't been stunned silly, have you? Let me tell you, be restrained in front of Sister Xia Xia, don't scare her, though Sister Xia Xia isn't that timid," Li Qianqian reminded Li Yuan.

Li Yuan withdrew his gaze, frowned, and said, "Do you understand her?"

"Whether I understand her or not isn't important; what's important is that Sister Xia Xia is a good person, not the kind who covets anything of mine. Besides, do you think the character of someone chosen by Grandpa Gu to be on his team could be problematic? Anyway, I trust my intuition; I've decided that Sister Xia Xia is the sister for me! Also, let me tell you secretly, Gu Cheng likes Shu Xia, but unfortunately, Shu Xia treats Gu Cheng like a younger brother. I think you are the type that Sister Xia Xia would like," Li Qianqian suddenly thought of some domineering CEO-type novels she had seen not long ago.

Although those novels were a bit too fake.

But she now felt that Sister Xia Xia had the charm and power to make people fall in love at first sight and be willing to give everything.

Li Yuan seemed to be pondering something and was somewhat silent.

Shu Xia walked over.

She was operating her phone to send a few photos to Li Qianqian.

"Qianqian, the items in the photos I sent you are fakes; the others are genuine, but their true value is far from being priceless. The most expensive of these paintings are worth no more than ten million at most."

Li Qianqian saw the photos, and her eyes widened after seeing them, "These are all fakes? I remember this vase was said to be an antique from a thousand years ago, worth at least fifty million; it's actually fake?"

"Brother, someone thinks we are easy to fool," Li Qianqian shouted toward Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's expression also darkened.

"Perhaps it wasn't intentional deception; the fakes here are good enough to pass for the real thing," Shu Xia said.

Although Li Qianqian was a bit angry about being cheated, she didn't care about a mere few tens of millions; there were more important things now, "Sister Xia Xia, this is my brother, Li Yuan."

"Hello," Shu Xia looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan and Li Qianqian, the two siblings, had eyes that looked alike.

Their personalities were not very similar.

Li Qianqian was the type with a straightforward, unreserved personality, living quite freely and easily.

But Li Yuan was unfathomable, and he possessed an aura that was terrifying and made one afraid to look him in the eye.
