Chapter 803: Tired of Living?

"Swallow your sister!"

Kong Delong shouted coldly: "You're at death's door and you're still being stubborn. Lying is one thing, but you even dared to bring Chairman Gu into this. If Chairman Gu blames us, can you afford to take the responsibility?"

Ye Chen smiled: "If you don't believe me, just call Chairman Gu and ask him if he gave me this fan himself."

"Pah!" Kong Delong curled his lips: "Even with my status as the young master of the Kong family, I'm not qualified to contact Chairman Gu directly. Are you acting tough here because you know I can't verify the authenticity with Chairman Gu?"

Ye Chen smiled noncommittally: "For this kind of thing, arguing is meaningless. Let's just find a professional authority to take a look."

"No need." Kong Delong sneered: "Let me tell you, I specifically invited the eldest young master of the Gu family, Gu Weiliang, today. If this thing of yours is real, then it's the collection of Young Master Gu's uncle. We'll know the situation once we ask!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen laughed out loud: "Fine, since you insist on waiting for the eldest young master of the Gu family, then let's wait for him to come."

Kong Delong didn't expect Ye Chen to be unafraid, without even a hint of guilt, and couldn't help but feel surprised.

If he were in his shoes, having taken a fake to impersonate Chairman Gu's collection, and hearing that the eldest young master of the Gu family was coming, he would definitely run away to avoid being caught red-handed by the eldest young master of the Gu family.

But Ye Chen had no intention of running at all.

This made him wonder, why was this kid so confident?

Although he seemed to have some connections in Jin Ling, he couldn't possibly have climbed up to Gu Yanzhong's relationship, right?

Who is Gu Yanzhong? He is the head of the Gu family, the third-ranked major family in Jingcheng!

Let alone Ye Chen, even his own father couldn't reach that level of relationship. Why would Ye Chen, a mere live-in son-in-law from a small place like Jin Ling, be able to connect with Gu Yanzhong? It's simply impossible!

Just then, someone shouted: "The eldest young master of the Gu family is visiting!"

Everyone instantly perked up.

Even Dong Ruolin's grandparents hurriedly became serious.

Even though Gu Weiliang was just a young man in his twenties from the Gu family, in the eyes of the Dong family and the various guests, he could be considered the one with the biggest background and the highest status at this birthday banquet. Even the birthday star, Old Mrs. Dong, had to be polite, or even sycophantic, in front of Gu Weiliang.

At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Gu Weiliang walked in with an arrogant look on his face.

Dong Ruolin's father and uncle were beside him, full of flattery, nodding and bowing, completely in a posture of unmasked kneeling and licking.

Today, Gu Weiliang originally didn't plan to come, because his relationship with Kong Delong was just average. Although the Kong family's strength was slightly stronger than the Dong family's now, it was still far behind the Gu family, so Gu Weiliang didn't look down on Kong Delong at all.

But the reason he was willing to come was mainly because he heard Kong Delong say that he had a sister who was truly top-grade, having just returned from Jin Ling, and he wanted to introduce her to him.

Although Gu Weiliang was no longer capable in that regard, he still had the character of a playboy. Although his ability was gone, he was still full of fantasies and desires for the opposite sex.

Actually, this was human nature. Ancient eunuchs often had "food-sharing" relationships with palace maids in the palace; this was no longer a secret.

Plus, Gu Weiliang had long heard that Dong Ruolin, the granddaughter of the Dong family, was as beautiful as a fairy. Since he had the opportunity this time, he thought he would come and see, and get to know her by the way.

As soon as Gu Weiliang entered, Dong Ruolin's grandfather immediately stepped forward and said enthusiastically and respectfully: "Young Master Gu, I didn't know you were coming. Please forgive us for not welcoming you properly!"

Gu Weiliang waved his hand indifferently and said: "I heard from Delong that today is his grandmother's birthday banquet and he invited me to come and show support, so I rushed over to disturb you."

Dong Ruolin's grandfather hurriedly said: "Young Master Gu, your presence makes the Dong family shine. How can it be a disturbance!"

As he spoke, the old man immediately greeted Dong Ruolin and said: "Come, come, Ruolin, get to know Young Master Gu!"

Dong Ruolin's grandfather, uncle, and father all had a surprisingly consistent view on Dong Ruolin's lifelong event.

They all felt that Dong Ruolin should marry a young master from a top family so that she could bring enough help to the Dong family.

This was also the reason why they arranged for Dong Ruolin to work at the Dihao Group in Jin Ling.

However, Dong Ruolin had been in Jin Ling for so long without even seeing the chairman of the Dihao Group, so they gradually lost patience with this matter.

Now, looking at Gu Weiliang in front of them, they all had the same idea, hoping that Dong Ruolin could be with Gu Weiliang. In that case, the Dong family would be able to soar into the sky.

The moment Gu Weiliang saw Dong Ruolin, his eyes went straight.

Although there were many beauties in Jingcheng, there weren't many beauties in major families.

After all, it was difficult for a person to have both an excellent background and excellent looks.

Although the Dong family was a bit down and out now, Dong Ruolin was truly stunning!

So, Gu Weiliang immediately set his sights on Dong Ruolin.

He immediately reached out to Dong Ruolin and said very gentlemanly: "Miss Dong, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Dong Ruolin's expression was somewhat cold. She deliberately didn't reach out, but nodded and said: "It's also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gu."

On the side, Dong Ruolin's father, Dong Jianghe, immediately scolded: "Ruolin! Why are you so impolite? Why don't you shake hands with Young Master Gu?!"

Dong Ruolin said: "Sorry, Mr. Gu, I touched a stray cat at the door just now and haven't washed my hands."

Gu Weiliang was somewhat unhappy. This Dong Ruolin had such a high attitude, not even shaking hands with him. This was really not giving him face!

However, he didn't get angry on the spot, thinking he would endure it for now to leave a good impression on Dong Ruolin, so as to facilitate further development.

At this time, Kong Delong hurriedly ran over with the folding fan Ye Chen brought, respectfully greeting Gu Weiliang while saying: "Oh, Young Master Gu, you came just in time. There's an idiot here who is spouting nonsense with a fan of your uncle's, insisting it's authentic. I suspect this kid deliberately took a fake to impersonate it, and is even using the Gu family's name to act tough!"

After speaking, he immediately opened the fan and handed it to Gu Weiliang, saying respectfully: "Young Master Gu, look, it's this fan! Can you tell everyone, is this real?"

Gu Weiliang frowned. He knew nothing about antiques and couldn't tell real from fake. He didn't even know where this fan came from.

Fortunately, Kong Delong said flatteringly: "This fan face is Qi Baishi's 'Fortune and Longevity' picture. It is said that your uncle bought it for a sky-high price of 48.88 million back then!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Weiliang thought to himself, if the authentic one was really his uncle's collection, then his uncle would definitely not sell it.

After all, he valued antiques and collectibles very much, only buying and never selling, like a Pixiu. Over the years, he had bought various famous paintings, and it was said that the paintings alone were worth tens of billions.

Although the transaction price of this fan face was only 48.88 million, based on his understanding of his uncle, it was impossible for the collection to be taken out of his hands.

What's more, he didn't know the Dong family at all. The Dong family didn't even have a chance to curry favor with him, so why would he take out his own collection as a gift for Old Mrs. Dong?

Therefore, it could be concluded that the fan face in front of him must be fake!

Thinking of this, Gu Weiliang immediately asked coldly: "Where did this idiot come from, daring to impersonate my uncle's collection? Tired of living?" ===== CHAPTER 804 =====
