The Land Rover drove out of the urban area, and after another half an hour, it came to a villa complex. The security guard saw the license plate and quickly opened the door.
"Rich people, tsk tsk!" Xia Yan looked at the sets of villas with garden swimming pools passing by outside the car, and sighed in admiration. He was not jealous, but envy was inevitable. Who wouldn't want to live in such an environment.
"The minimum starting price for a villa here is 50 million, boy, just figure out how many requiem stones you need to afford one!" Hearing Xia Yan's sigh, Wen Yipin smiled triumphantly while driving.
"It really takes a lot." Xia Yan smiled, as if she didn't hear his disdain, "Your family also lives here?" He asked Wen Yipin.
"This..." Wen Yipin was at a loss for words, his father had embezzled a lot of money, and he would certainly be able to afford it, but he dared not buy it. It is not a good thing for a corrupt official to be too high-profile.
"Oh, you don't live here either." Xia Yan said in a flat tone, just explaining a fact, but Wen Yipin's face immediately turned red, and Liu Xueer was still sitting in the car, he felt ashamed. If it was said that he just disliked Xia Yan just now, he has already hated it now, and secretly decided in his heart that he must teach this bumpkin a lesson in the future.
Soon, Wen Yipin parked the car at the entrance of a villa. The camera on the gate turned, and soon, the gate opened automatically.
The three got out of the car and walked into the villa. After entering the door, Xia Yan realized that the villa was even bigger than what he saw from the outside. The lawn was neatly built, with ponds, rockeries, and fountains all available. It was so beautiful.
"Miss is back!" A nanny in her forties came out to welcome her.
"Aunt Wu, are grandpa and my dad at home?" Liu Xueer asked.
"The master is here. There are guests coming today. The master is talking with the guests. Mr. Liu has gone to the company." The nanny said.
"What kind of guest?" Liu Xue'er said indifferently, then turned her head to say hello: "Come in, Xia Yan, you don't need to change your shoes."
"Yeah." Xia Yan walked in generously, turned her head to look around, and was immediately shocked by the magnificent living room. It was so luxurious that the decoration of this huge living room would cost tens of millions.
But the shock was the shock, Xia Yan was not cramped at all, and walked to the sofa at a leisurely pace.
"Xia Yan, Wen Yipin, please sit down first, I'll go and talk to grandpa." Liu Xueer greeted her and went upstairs, the nanny quickly brought refreshments.
"Boy, why don't you sit? What are you doing walking around?" Xia Yan didn't sit on the sofa, but walked slowly in the living room, stopping from time to time to carefully look at various calligraphy, paintings and ornaments. The ones that can be placed here are definitely not fakes. He saw many calligraphy and paintings of famous historical figures, as well as some blue and white porcelain and emerald ornaments. I am afraid that each piece is worth a lot of money.
"I'll just take a look." Xia Yan said without looking back.
"Be careful, kid, you won't be able to pay for any damage to anything." Wen Yipin shouted.
"Hehe." Xia Yan smiled, ignoring his sense of superiority for no reason. By the way, this is not Wen Yipin's home, so I don't know what kind of superiority he has to show off.
"Hey, boy, if you are a liar, you still have a chance to escape now. If you are exposed later, you will definitely go to live in a prison. I will personally send you there when the time comes." Wen Yipin sneered again said.
"Thank you for your concern!" Xia Yan said without looking back.
"Hmph, I'll see how hard your mouth is. Don't think that you can fool me just by fooling Xue'er!" Wen Yipin said angrily with hatred for his calm attitude.
At this time, there was a sound of stairs, Xia Yan turned her head to look, and saw Liu Xueer going downstairs holding the arm of a white-haired old man, and beside her was a middle-aged man with a dignified face, who should be the guest that the nanny said.
Seeing Liu Xueer's grandfather and this middle-aged man, Wen Yipin's eyes lit up, and he immediately went up to him with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Liu, Uncle Fang!"
"Yipin is here too." Elder Liu nodded to him and replied simply. The middle-aged man just nodded slightly as a response to him.
"Grandpa, look, this is the person I was talking about, Xia Yan!" Liu Xueer helped her grandfather sit down on the sofa, and then introduced Xia Yan to him.
"Hello, Mr. Liu." Xia Yan said, he always respected the old man.
"Little baby, are you still a student?" Although Liu Lao looked like an ordinary old man, there was an indescribable aura about him, and he was probably used to giving orders before.
"It's a student." Xia Yan said.
"Students should study hard, why do you want to be a liar?" Old Liu said sharply with his face down.
"Grandpa!" Liu Xueer pouted dissatisfiedly, Wen Yipin had an expression of enjoying the show, and the middle-aged man just sat quietly on the sofa and watched without speaking.
Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect the old man to say that he was a liar. He is a person who eats soft and not hard, and if others are not polite, he will naturally not rush to flatter others. He leaned back, picked up the teacup and blew on it, drank the water slowly, and was not in a hurry to reply.
Seeing his behavior, Mr. Liu was taken aback, with a trace of anger showing on his face. The middle-aged man showed a slight smile and looked at Xia Yan with interest.
"Boy, Grandpa Liu is asking you!" Wen Yipin yelled, even he admired Xia Yan's composure, it's really rare to see a liar with such a good psychological quality.
"The old man said that I was a liar, do you have any evidence?" Xia Yan took two sips of tea, put down the teacup, and then said unhurriedly.
"Evidence?" Liu Lao threw a requiem stone on the coffee table, and said in a deep voice, "A stone worth at most fifty yuan, you dare five thousand, what is it if you're not a liar?"
"Hehe!" Xia Yan smiled, pointing to a small jade in Liu Lao's hands, and asked, "Can Liu Lao tell me how much this thing is worth?"
"Let me tell you." Wen Yipin rushed to say, "This is the top-quality imperial green jadeite that Uncle Liu got from betting on stones last time. Mr. Hu Yihe, the best jade carving master in Sucheng, carved the emerald tiger himself. 100 million!"
Worth hundreds of millions? Xia Yan was also taken aback. He knew it was a good thing, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. However, he still kept his expression on his face, looked at Liu Lao and asked: "Then
Chapter Eight
I would like to ask, what Mr. Liu thinks is the value of Mr. Hu Yihe's craftsmanship in the value of this emerald tiger? "
"When the jadeite was unlocked, it was estimated to be worth 50 million yuan. Mr. Hu Yihe turned it into a work of art, and the value increased by at least 50 million yuan." Wen Yipin rushed to say again. While talking, he looked at Liu Xueer, hoping to get her appreciation.
"That's right." Xia Yan snapped his fingers very impolitely, "Mr. Hu Yihe's craftsmanship is worth 50 million yuan, but mine is only worth 5,000 yuan. I still feel that I am at a loss."
"Just because you can compare with Mr. Hu?" Wen Yipin sneered.
"Hehe!" Xia Yan ignored him, glanced at Liu Lao and Liu Xue'er, and laughed: "It seems that I took the initiative to come to the door today to be humiliated, since this is the case..."
He took out the 10,000 yuan, put it on the coffee table, and said to Liu Xue'er: "I will return the money to you, please return the requiem stone to me, it's a waste of money."
"This..." Liu Xueer hesitated. Of course she doesn't care about the 10,000 yuan, but it's obviously not about the money. She didn't expect her grandfather to accuse Xia Yan of being a liar, and Wen Yipin was also fanning the flames. This made her feel very uncomfortable. Awkward.
"Xue'er, give him back!" Old Liu's face darkened, he didn't expect Xia Yan's reaction to be so tough, no one had spoken to him like this for many years.
"Grandpa..." Liu Xueer felt that this was not good, Grandpa was going too far.
"Give him back!" Liu Lao glared.
"Xia Yan, I'm sorry!" Liu Xueer looked at Xia Yan, and found that he had a sneer on his face. She didn't dare to look at him, so she took out another requiem stone and put it on the tea table.
Xia Yan put away the two requiem stones, stood up and said, "Okay, we don't owe each other, and we leave."
"Boy, do you want to leave after being exposed?" Wen Yipin called out.
"Oh, what else do you want?" Xia Yan stopped and said coldly as if sweeping him.
"I want to call the police and arrest you!" Wen Yipin shouted.
"Okay, Yipin, we haven't lost anything, let him go." Liu Lao waved his hand and said.
"Hmph, boy, lucky you, don't meet me in the future!" Liu Lao said, Wen Yipin had no choice but to say.
"Before I leave, let me give Mrs. Liu a piece of advice." Xia Yan suddenly smiled, pointed to the southeast corner of the living room and said, "You'd better not go to that corner, or it won't be as simple as having nightmares at night. Here, believe it or not, it's up to you... By the way, if you want to buy a requiem stone next time, it won't be at today's price!"
After speaking, he strode out the door and left the villa without looking back.
"Young people nowadays are becoming more and more outrageous!" Old Liu shook his head and sighed, he didn't take Xia Yan's words to heart.
"Old Liu, it's time for me to say goodbye." The middle-aged man hadn't spoken for a while, and now he stood up and said goodbye to Elder Liu.
"Xiao Fang, I made you laugh." Old Liu said.
"Old Liu is serious. In fact, I think it's not easy for this young man to stay calm when things happen." The middle-aged man laughed.
"It's just a liar." Liu Lao waved his hand. The middle-aged man didn't say any more, he glanced at the southeast corner, and then left.
Xia Yan came out of the villa area, only to find that there was no bus station or taxi here, and she was dumbfounded. The distance to the bus station is still more than ten kilometers away, and she must be tired after walking there.
He wants to cry but has no tears. He wasted his time today and was treated as a liar. Now he has to go a long way again. It is a big loss. Next time he goes out, he must read the almanac first!
There is no way, let's walk with our feet. Fortunately, it is already dusk and the sun is going down, otherwise we will have to peel off a layer of skin.
After walking a few hundred meters, there was the sound of a car behind him. Xia Yan gave way to the side of the road without looking back, and had no intention of taking a ride. These rich people are unlikely to let strangers get in the car.
"Beep!" A short horn sounded beside her. Xia Yan looked back and found a small black car driving side by side with him at a very slow speed. The window of the back seat was opened, and what appeared in front of him was Liu's villa. The majestic face of the middle-aged man.
"Young man, shall I give you a ride?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
