Chapter 762: Mr. Gu Willingly Becomes a Tyrant
Mu Anhan’s beauty has always been unmatched.
When she attended the party tonight, she had meticulously done her makeup, becoming the center of attention as soon as she appeared.
Although Yun City is quite far from the Imperial City, the reputation of Mrs. Gu is well-known across the region.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Gu is so beautiful that she makes Gu Xiaozhan willingly play the role of a foolish king.
Think of the four great beauties of ancient times, which one of them did not woo the royal nobles?
Tonight at the Si Family’s gathering, not only was Gu Xiaozhan present, but also several people from the business world, all of whom were familiar with the Si Family in Yun City.
Mu Anhan just learned that Old Master Si wanted to sell some family antiques and needed an expert for appraisal.
Of course, these guests also brought their own treasure appraisal experts.
Mu Anhan seemed uninterested and said to Gu Xiaozhan, "I’m going for a walk, I’ll meet you at the parking lot later."
"Alright, call me if there’s anything," Gu Xiaozhan nodded.
Mu Anhan quietly left the estate, went to a nearby hotel, did her makeup, and changed her clothes. She called Zhang Jing, gave him the address, and asked him to pick her up.
Zhang Jing brought her to the Si Family estate, "Old Master, Xiao Tang has arrived."
Mu Anhan wore a small suit and put on a pair of glasses, disguising her flawless appearance. At this moment, she appeared as Xiao Tang, maintaining the daytime persona of a mature woman in her thirties.
"Hello, Old Master!" She greeted before standing behind Old Master Si.
She sneaked a glance at Gu Xiaozhan, who was focusing intently on the antique in his hand.
"Mr. Gu, you truly know your stuff. This is a wine cup made by General Meng’s wife during the Qin Dynasty when he set out on his expedition," Mu Anhan said.
Gu Xiaozhan looked at her, "How do you know that?"
"Every profession has its trade secrets, Mr. Gu, sorry, I can’t say how I know," Mu Anhan replied softly. "If Mr. Gu fancies this cup, it indeed has significant collectible value."
"Uncle Si, how much for this?" Gu Xiaozhan asked.
Old Master Si laughed, "Xiao Zhan, if you like it, just take it, why bother paying me?"
"Today is about business transactions," Gu Xiaozhan glanced at Xiao Tang, "Do you know how much this piece is worth?"
"In terms of material, it may be ordinary, but because of its old age and the sentimental value tied to General Meng, a man of great loyalty, who received it as a farewell gift from his wife, it could be valued at a million," Mu Anhan said seriously.
Old Master Si felt a pang in his heart. Although he didn’t know the cup’s origins, he intended to hype it up to several million before selling it. Little did he expect this appraiser to state the exact buying price he initially paid.
Gu Xiaozhan immediately wrote out a check for a million, "Thank you, Uncle Si."
"No need to be so polite; I’ll need your help when I visit the Imperial City one day!" Old Master Si invited him not for money but to connect with the Gu Family for future business in the Imperial City.
Gu Xiaozhan nodded, "Uncle Si, you’re welcome anytime."
Old Master Si nodded and said to Mu Anhan beside him, "Come with me to gather a few more treasures."
After they left the hall, Old Master Si looked at her, "Is it true that the more legendary a treasure, the higher the price?"
"Not necessarily; it depends on the intrinsic collectible value," Mu Anhan knew he had something to say.
