“Jianan, there are so many people here. It’s not good to talk about this here, right?”
“Huh?” Lin Jianan said in surprise, “From what you’re saying, did Big Boss Li do something inappropriate to you last night?”
Just standing there and listening to Lin Jianan’s words, Xu Wanwan felt her face turn red.
She pulled Lin Jianan to the side. “Keep your voice down. We didn’t actually do anything.”
“Then hurry up and say it. I’m dying of anxiety.”
Xu Wanwan was helpless and could only say, “Well… He kissed me last night.”
“Just a kiss?”
“Yes.”
“Then how long did it last? How did he endure?”
Xu Wanwan was even more confused. “What does this have to do with enduring?”
“Of course it has to do with endurance!” Lin Jiannan said seriously, “This is related to your happy life in the future, do you understand?”
“It’s not that long, about ten minutes.”
Lin Jianan was amused by her. “It’S not that long after kissing for more than ten minutes?”
“I don’t understand these things…”
“Wait!”
After Lin Jianan said that, she took out her phone and sent Xu Wanwan a bunch of information and videos.
After sending them, she smiled and said, “Wanwan, remember to look at it when you’re free later!”
Xu Wanwan didn’t think too much and nodded.
At this moment, there was a commotion not far away.
A familiar voice sounded in the crowd
“This painting is not the real work of Master Nanshan. Everyone, please don’t be deceived!”
When Lin Jianan heard this voice, she exchanged a look with Xu Wanwan.
“Seriously, my Dad actually invited the Chen family. Chen Qiping must be causing trouble.”
Xu Wanwan also frowned and said, “Then let’S go and quickly take a look.”
When the two of them rushed over, the people around them were already pointing at the famous paintings hanging on the wall.
“I’ve long heard that the Lin family likes to collect calligraphy and paintings. I just didn’t expect that Elder Lin would collect fakes.”
“Tsk tsk, since it’S fake, don’t put it on display to embarrass yourself. It’S won’t be a shame at all.”
“This painting looks just like that. I don’t believe that it’S Master Nanshan’s real painting.”.
“Master Nanshan’s paintings have always been highly-priced. A painting is worth tens of millions. The Lin family is only a medium-sized enterprise, how can they afford it?”
Chen Qiping was standing at the center of a crowd and shouted, “This is a gift from a classmate of mine to Uncle Lin. I can’t stand her behavior of sending fake goods. I don’t want Uncle Lin to be kept in the dark.” “Chen Qiping, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Lin Jianan finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. She rushed into the crowd and said unhappily, “Today is my Dad’s birthday. Why are you making a scene here?”
“Jianan, why are you angry with me?” Chen Qiping said righteously, “I’m not the one who gave you the fake painting. Shouldn’t you take it out on Xu Wanwan?”
In front of everyone, Chen Qiping directly mentioned Xu Wanwan’s name and pointed the blame at her.
Xu Wanwan looked at Chen Qiping’s provocative gaze and her expression turned slightly cold.
Was he taking revenge on her?
However, she was not easy to bully. Now that she stood up, she asked calmly,
“You said that I have given a fake painting. What evidence do you have?”
“Hmph, what proof do you need? You’re just a university student. How were you able to get tens of millions to buy Master Nanshan’s painting?”
Xu Wanwan chuckled. “I really can’t afford it because Master Nanshan gave it to me.”
Chen Qiping laughed out loud in front of everyone.
“Did everyone hear that? She can actually make such a shameless joke. How could an artist like Master Nanshan give her a painting?”
Xu Wanwan was not annoyed. “I’m Master Nanshan’s disciple. This painting was a gift from him to me as a disciple. Is there a problem?”
“Do you think that everyone will believe what you’re saying?”
Chen Qiping argued, “Master Nanshan has so many disciples. Based on what you’re saying, doesn’t he have to give each of his disciples a painting? Does everyone think that’s possible?”
His rhythm made the onlookers discuss among themselves, and the scene was getting out of control.
At this moment, a cold and magnetic voice suddenly came from the crowd
“Why is it impossible?”
Chen Qiping became stunned and watched a man with a strong aura walk to Xu Wanwan’s side.
Seeing him, Xu Wanwan suddenly felt relieved.
Li Jingran directly held Xu Wanwan?s hand in front of the crowd. The corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile. “The Li family hasn’t fallen to the point of giving away fake goods.”
The crowd didn’t know Xu Wanwan, but they all knew Li Jingran.
The people attending the banquet were all shareholders and CEOs of the lower middle-class enterprises in A City, and the Li Corporation under Li Jingran was one of the best leading enterprises. No one knew why he would attend such an event.
However, when they saw Li Jingran holding Xu Wanwan?s hand, they could guess something.
This girl must have a special relationship with Li Jingran.
From the looks of it, this girl definitely couldn’t have given out a fake painting. Otherwise, Li Jingran would have lost face.
Someone immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. “It’S a misunderstanding! Since she’S Director Li’S person, how could they give out fake things?”
“So what if it’S people from the Li Family!”
Chen Qiping was not convinced. He clenched his fists and said, “This painting is a counterfeit! Master Nanshan’s painting has always been sold to a fated person. Even if the Li Corporation has power and influence, they can’t get it!”
Li Jingran’s mood dropped to the freezing point. He glanced at Chen Qiping coldly.
He was not going to die well. He had no intention of compromising at all.
The surrounding people could not help but shiver. They could not help but feel that Chen Qiping was in a lot of trouble.
This kid was so young and impetuous that he dared to say such things in front of Li Jingran.
“Master Nanshan will be here soon. He will prove the authenticity of this painting to everyone.”
Li Jingran’s cold eyes fixed on Chen Qiping. “It’S illegal to spread rumors. I advise you to go back and wait for the lavvyer’s letter.”
Chen Qiping suspected that something was wrong with his ears. “Do you think Master Nanshan will come?”
Li Jingran couldn’t be bothered with him. He took Xu Wanwan’s hand and left the noisy crowd.
“That’s impossible… how could Master Nanshan come to such a place?” “He’s just lying to us. He’S just trying to scare people.”
Chen Qiping didn’t believe what he had just heard and started mumbling to himself.
Someone beside him could not stand it any longer and said, “Young man, you should hurry up and apologize to Director Li. Do you think that with his power, there’s nothing he can’t do?”
“That’s right. Losing face is a small matter. If you offend the Li Corporation, I’m afraid that you won’t have a good life in the future.”
“Take advantage of the fact that Master Nanshan hasn’t arrived yet. Hurry up and say something nice to that lady.”
Chen Qiping was agitated. “Why should I go! She brought a fake painting. Don’t be fooled by her!”
Seeing that they could not persuade him, they gave up.
On the other side, Xu Wanwan looked at the man in disbelief.. “You really contacted my Master?”
