Chapter 1473: Chapter 1469: So Impressive
"The key point is that it’s no longer available."
"So, where was this bought?"
"This has never appeared before. I know every painting from the past, but I’ve never seen this one."
"Wow, could it be fake?"
"Would Madam Mu take out a fake painting? How could that be possible?"
Everyone looked at Ye Ling, full of envy and amazement.
Even Mu Hai glanced over, somewhat surprised.
Sui Qinglan, who personally didn’t like her, scoffed and asked, "Is this really fake?"
Ye Ling immediately said, "Grandfather, knowing that you like it, I made a special effort to find it. It may not be worth much, but as long as you like it, it’s priceless. For this, I specially invited an expert to personally deliver this painting to you."
Listening to this, everyone became even more curious.
What exactly is Madam Mu trying to do?
At this moment, Ye Ling moved aside a little.
From behind.
A man with a long white beard and white hair, dressed in a white robe, stepped in slowly. In his hand, he held a long cylindrical tube, and from afar, people guessed it was a paper tube containing a painting.
Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized, "Wow, who is that? That’s Zhang Qinggang."
"Yeah, it’s him. I didn’t remember until you mentioned it. I saw a portrait of him at a past exhibition."
"That white beard is unmistakable."
Some who didn’t understand were curious, "Is Zhang Qinggang that impressive?"
Those who knew loudly explained, "Of course. He’s been living overseas for a long time and hasn’t returned for ages. It’s tough to see him in person usually."
"Madam Mu really has great connections, bringing him here personally."
"Naturally, truly impressive."
Listening to the praise, Ye Ling shyly looked at her toes, smiled, and then softly said to Mu Hai, "Grandfather, happy birthday."
Mu Hai looked over there.
Only to see Zhang Qinggang approach, holding the painting, bowing his head, "This painting is a gift for you. I hope you’ll accept it. I created this five years ago and kept it at home. Upon hearing from Miss Ye that it’s your birthday, I agreed to bring it out after much pleading from her. I hope you’ll accept my humble piece."
Mu Hai saw the painting and hurriedly extended his hand, pretending to support him, helping him stand.
"Master Zhang, I’m truly touched by your personal delivery."
Watching Mu Hai personally greet him, everyone was even more impressed.
Mu Hai personally welcomed him.
"So prestigious."
"Yeah, he came just for Madam Mu. She really gained a lot of respect this time."
"Exactly, it’s so prestigious. Why can’t I invite him?"
"It’s because she has the capability."
"You couldn’t tell before, but this is truly impressive."
While everyone was praising, no one paid any attention to Ye Ning on the side.
At this moment.
Someone finally noticed Mu Yeli had arrived.
He entered quietly through the side door and stood silently at the back. Though his presence was unobtrusive, he quickly caught everyone’s attention.
"Look, Mu Yeli is here."
"Wow, where?"
Everyone quietly looked over and saw Mu Yeli glance around the hall.
At this moment, Ye Ling almost tiptoed, eager for Mu Yeli to look at her with delight.
Mu Hai immediately noticed Mu Yeli, "Yeli, Yeli, come have a look. Today Master Zhang personally came to deliver a painting to me."
