Chapter 508: 309 Future Mother-in-law~
There were still a good ten minutes before the start of the auction, but the ladies had already gathered at the entrance to the venue.
Adorned with pearls and gems, the group of ladies, averaging in their forties and fifties, stood together. They were well-maintained, looking elegant and noble, and their laughter was like a warm breeze through willows, pleasing to the eye and ear.
Xu He had Wang Dahai park the car at the nearby mall, then she took a detour and arrived by taxi through a side entrance.
It’s no wonder they go to such lengths to hide from their husbands—they treat T·D like an idol worthy of adoration.
Their obsession was no less than the mother fans of current young heartthrobs.
At the mont, the ladies were queuing up to check their identities before entering the venue.
Today’s auction featured exorbitantly priced items, so security at the venue was taken very seriously, with ard police guarding the true works of T·D backstage.
Nowadays, forgeries of T·D’s works were everywhere in the market, but the original works were priceless.
The ladies were all incredibly excited, determined to get their hands on today’s paintings. Although their individual funds couldn’t compare with those of the big bosses, if they pooled their resources…
Play it cool, keep it low-key.
Just the thought of getting the piece and hanging it in their salon, where they could enjoy afternoon tea together every day, was thrilling.
“Madam, may I please see so identification…” Mrs. Gu showed her mber’s card for the auction and turned to Xu He with a smile, “I went to O Continent recently and saw a real T·D at the Royal Family Museum… It just doesn’t compare to the high-priced replicas we collected before…”
The Mrs. Gu speaking was none other than Gu Mingzhi’s mother, who constantly nagged her to co ho and take over the family business.
The Gu Family had connections with the Xia Family in the past, but contact had waned for a few years when their businesses diverged. Later, as Mrs. Gu and Xu He both developed a frenzy for T·D’s paintings, the two ladies, sharing a common passion, beca close once again.
The light in Xu He’s eyes was unusually animated, “I know, didn’t you send pictures at the ti? The painting skills of such a master of the court, how could they be so casually imitated…”
Another lady from behind couldn’t help but interject, “Mrs. Xia, I heard from an expert who specializes in O Continent’s history that T·D wasn’t even a court painter. He cos from a distinguished background, and painting was rely a hobby for him…”
Mrs. Gu spoke with an exaggerated tone, “Really?? Well, why isn’t there a portrait of him handed down? I really want to know what soone like that looked like.”
“There are records in unofficial histories, stating he had flawless skin, untouched by any blemish, proud and aloof from the world, with a beauty that would even make won envious.”
“Is this all from that big expert you talked to? You should see him less, didn’t your husband get jealous over it last ti?”
“Pssh, let him be jealous—it’s good for him, keeps him from getting too comfortable and ssing around with others…”
The ladies were all excited at the ntion of the mysterious master painter.
The security at the entrance even had the illusion that they weren’t guarding an auction but a celebrity fan et…
And these ladies were the beautiful, wealthy won who ca to spend money on support billboards for their idol.
In no ti, the ladies had received their number plates and were led into the auction hall by the ushers.
Mrs. Gu hooked her arm with Xu He’s, “Let’s sit together.”
“Of course,” Xu He smiled brightly at the round-faced and cute Mrs. Gu, “By the way, why didn’t your precious daughter co with you today?”
Although Xu He had been rejected when she brought up Mingzhi to her second son before, she hadn’t given up yet.
She truly liked Mingzhi, finding her as likable as her mother with that round face that was so endearing.
And now that the girl had slimd down and grown even taller and fairer, she would surely be a perfect match standing next to Xu He’s second son.
But Mrs. Gu, far from being happy at the ntion of her dazzling daughter, frowned with complaint, “Don’t get started on her. If only Mingzhi were half as sensible as your Yeye, I’d live at least ten years longer!”
Xu He of course thought no one could be more sensible than her Little Tiangao, and laughed, “What happened this ti?”
Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes, “You tell , she’s the only jewel of the Gu Family, isn’t she ant to inherit our big empire in the future? But no interest at all, she insists on being a makeup artist day in and day out. Our family’s heiress doesn’t even need a makeup artist, and instead, she goes off to do makeup for others? I think she’s just idle to the point of…”
