"Wait!" Another voice came from the door.

Everyone looked towards the door again. An old man stood at the door. Although his temples were pale, he was energetic and full of energy.

When they saw the old man, everyone in the hall was in an uproar again, and even Mrs. Gu was stunned.

Only Mu Si Nian smiled and came at the right time.

The old man who came here is Mr. Li from the Li family in Pingcheng. The Li family is the oldest century-old family in Pingcheng and the most established. In recent years, it has gradually curbed its sharpness and cultivated its character. If the Li family is still active, this is the largest family in Pingcheng.

The family should be the Li family.

For today's banquet, Mrs. Gu also sent someone to send invitations. As before, the Li family only sent people to send donated items, and no one from the family attended.

Mr. Li has been living quietly in the past few years and rarely appears in front of outsiders. Why did he suddenly come here today?

"Mr. Li, when did you arrive? It would be rude to miss you so far away." Mrs. Gu hurried up to greet you.

"I came here unexpectedly. I didn't say hello in advance. It's me who's rude." Mr. Li's eyes were always fixed on the authentic painting of Yan Zhenqing on the stage. "I heard that an authentic painting of Yan Zhenqing appeared at Mrs. Gu's banquet today.

My old man has always loved these, so he came here to pay his respects."

As soon as Mr. Li said this, everyone present remembered that Mr. Li had always been obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and he was also a famous expert in this field.

"This..." Mrs. Gu hesitated, "There is indeed an authentic calligraphy by Yan Zhenqing, donated by the Mu family, but the authenticity of this calligraphy is controversial."

"Ms. Bai just said it was a fake, but I don't think one person's words can be trusted. It just so happens that Mr. Li is here today. He is an expert in this field. Why not ask him to check it to see if the copybook is authentic." Gu Yuqi

Open your mouth at the right time.

"Hey, yes, the old man has always studied calligraphy and painting. He has a lot of ancient calligraphy and paintings at home. If he checks the Mu family's calligraphy, he will definitely be able to tell whether it is genuine or not."

"Yeah!"

Everyone agreed with Gu Yuqi's proposal.

Bai Zhiqian's face turned slightly pale as she stood on the stage. She always felt that it was too much of a coincidence for Old Mrs. Li to come.

She turned her head and looked at Su Nian. Su Nian still had that gentle and calm smile on his face, as if the controversial word had nothing to do with her. Bai Zhiqian was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Su Nian immediately.

face torn.

But, she can't, now she can only endure it!

Shang Yi didn't miss any of Bai Zhiqian's expressions or the changes in her eyes. He sighed in his heart. As soon as Old Mrs. Li appeared here, he knew that things were even more complicated. I'm afraid Bai Zhiqian would find it even more difficult to accept it later.

Mr. Li slowly walked into the hall. When he passed by Mu Si Nian, Mu Si Nian stood up and greeted the old man respectfully, "Sir."

There are not many people that Mu Sinian can respect and admire from the bottom of his heart, and Mr. Li is one of them.

Mr. Li also admired Mu Si Nian because Mu Si Nian was very similar to him when he was young.

Very few people know that Mu Si Nian and Mrs. Li have a good relationship in private, and they have been friends for many years.

Old Mrs. Li nodded and slowly walked to the stage. His keen eyes swept over Su Nian and Bai Zhiqian. Bai Zhiqian felt uncomfortable with his gaze and her eyes were evasive and she did not dare to look at Old Mrs. Li.

Su Nian stood upright and looked at the old man with neither humility nor arrogance. He also smiled and greeted the old man respectfully, "Hello, old man. I am Su Nian. I have always heard that the old man is an expert in appraisal in this field. Today I am lucky enough to be able to do so.

See you, I’ll bother you to check it out later.”

Old Mrs. Li waved his hand, "It's not too troublesome, you are the one that the Mu family boy likes. Well, you have good taste."

Being praised by Mr. Li was a great affirmation for Su Nian. The smile on Mu Si Nian's face widened and he looked quite proud.

Su Nian did not show any pride or arrogance because of the old man's praise. Instead, he became more humble and said, "Thank you for the compliment, old man."

After a few words of greeting, Mr. Li began to examine the copybook. With the old man's comparison, Bai Zhiqian's inspection just now seemed much more perfunctory.

The whole place was silent, everyone was looking at Mr. Li attentively, waiting for him to announce the result.

Five minutes later, Mr. Li sighed as he read, "As expected of Yan Jin Liu Gu, the calligraphy of this copybook has a square and dense structure, light horizontal strokes and heavy vertical strokes, strong strokes, straight, open and vigorous. It is truly a treasure among genuine works."

"

Although Mrs. Li did not say it directly, these words proved that the copybook donated by Su Nian was indeed genuine and not a fake as Bai Zhiqian said.

"Old Master, do you mean to say that this is indeed the real thing?"

"Not bad!" Mr. Li's eyes always stayed on those words, and he couldn't put them down.

The tense heartstrings of the people in the hall relaxed, and their eyes changed when they looked at Bai Zhiqian. They just said, how could the Mu family come up with a fake to fool them? This young lady of the Mu family, despite her age,

He's small, but his conversation and demeanor are here, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who can change things. yyls

"Thank you, old lady. It is not only an honor for the copybook but also an honor for me to have this copybook approved by you today." Su Nian bowed slightly to Old Mrs. Li, then turned to look at Bai Zhiqian, "Miss Bai?"

"This is impossible, that copybook must be fake." Bai Zhiqian blurted out, her face even became a little distorted because of her anger.

When Mr. Li heard what Bai Zhiqian said, he immediately turned around and looked at Bai Zhiqian, "Are you doubting my identification results?"

"Since you said it is false, then tell me where it is false."

"I...I..." Faced with Old Mrs. Li's stern gaze, Bai Zhiqian stammered and was speechless. If she wanted to tell that this painting was fake, she would have to tell them what they had destroyed earlier.

.

Bai Zhiqian rolled her eyes. When things got to this point, she decided to blame everything on Gu Yutong. She was the young lady of the Gu family anyway, and no one would do anything to her.

"I actually just suspected that the calligraphy was fake, because when I went to register my donation, I saw Miss Gu tearing up Miss Su's copybook, so I only thought about it after seeing the complete copybook.

I wonder if Miss Su was afraid of losing face, so she temporarily found a fake to replace it."

Gu Yutong, who was watching the show below, was suddenly confused when Bai Zhiqian brought the trouble to her, and Bai Zhiqian also blamed the whole thing on her.

Mrs. Gu also didn't expect that her daughter was involved in this matter. She knew her daughter well, and when she saw her expression, she knew that Bai Zhiqian was not lying.
