Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Are You Questioning Me?

Lin Dong glanced at the Zhou family, Chu Yunxiu, Chu Lan, and others, finding it utterly ridiculous.

He responded to Chu Yunxiu with a calm tone, "I’m not so bored as to find some actor!"

"Still won’t admit it?" Zhou Na sneered, "If he wasn’t an actor you found, how could he possibly treat you with that attitude?"

"Exactly, Lin Dong. Explain to us, if he truly were Tong City’s tycoon, why would he respect you so much? It doesn’t make sense!" Zhou Ming also chimed in.

Lin Dong calmly said, "Do I, Lin Dong, really need to explain my actions to two clowns like you?"

With these words, Zhou Na and Zhou Ming’s faces turned exceedingly ugly.

Zhou Na was so angry she wanted to curse. Pointing at Lin Dong, she said:

"Today, I’m really going to clash with you. I must expose your tricks!"

Having said that, she scanned everyone present and continued:

"Everyone, since Lin Dong won’t admit that he hired an actor, then let me expose him."

"You know, Tong City’s tycoon, Guo Jun, is no ordinary person. If that man really were him, then he obviously wouldn’t bring a cheap gift all this way for Elder Qiao’s birthday celebration!"

"So, to figure out if that’s really him, it’s simple. Have the Qiao family open the gift and take a look."

"If the gift is worth less than several hundreds of thousands, then without saying more, you can figure with fake nails, that it’s certainly not the real deal..."

Hearing Zhou Na’s words, everyone thought it made sense.

"Sister, you really are clever," Zhou Ming gave a thumbs up, looking towards Qiao Guoting, "Elder Qiao, do you dare to open the gift and let everyone see?"

Upon hearing this, the Qiao family fell into silence.

Especially Chu Yunxiu, who felt very panicked. She now believed Zhou Na more and thought Lin Dong had indeed hired an actor.

If the gift turned out to be some stall’s goods when Elder Qiao opened it, then it would confirm the accusation of Lin Dong hiring an actor.

This wasn’t just about losing dignity; after all, it involved damaging the reputation of Tong City’s tycoon Guo Jun. If he pursued the matter, the Qiao family could not escape the consequences.

With these thoughts, Chu Yunxiu glowered furiously at Lin Dong.

"Lin Dong, look at the fine mess you’ve created!"

Chu Lan also shook her head and said, "Lin Dong, how could you dare to do this? Blustering is one thing, but to actually hire someone to impersonate Tong City’s tycoon Guo Jun! And to make him act like a subservient lackey? That’s a powerful man you’re mimicking. If he takes issue with it, he could have you killed!"

Elder Qiao’s face was also far from pleasant, and he hesitated.

"Elder Qiao, what’s the matter? Are you afraid to take out the gift? Fearful that the truth will be exposed and you’ll get in trouble with the big shot, implicating the Qiao family?" Zhou Na said, arms crossed with a smile on her face.

Zhou Shichang and the rest of the Zhou family also began to speak up.

"Elder Qiao, the gift from Tong City’s tycoon Guo Jun must be extraordinary. Show it to us, let us have a look."

Elder Qiao sat as if on pins and needles, now finding himself in a dilemma.

He too began to doubt, could that man really be Guo Jun?

Rationally speaking, a tycoon should not act like that!

Yet in his heart, he still harbored a sliver of trust in Lin Dong.

"To death it be..." Elder Qiao gritted his teeth. There was little choice in the matter now; he had to take out the gift today, willing or not.

He only prayed that the gift was not cheap stall goods.

The gift was packaged in a rectangular box about a meter long, which looked quite exquisite.

Elder Qiao opened the box to find inside a painting!

The painting was rolled up, and at that moment, Elder Qiao unfolded it.

After the painting was unfolded, Zhou Na sneered:

"Lin Dong, which stall did you buy this painting from? Look at the paper; it seems quite yellowed. I guess it’s worth only a few dollars?"

With that remark, Zhou Na expected to incite a wave of laughter from the crowd towards the Qiao family.

But there was none!

She noticed that many celebrities gasped upon seeing the painting, showing signs of astonishment.

Even her grandfather reacted the same way!

She suddenly felt that something was off.

"This... this painting..." Zhou Shichang’s eyes widened; having held high positions, he was well-versed and knowledgeable, which granted him a discerning eye for antiques.

The moment he saw the painting, he knew it was no simple piece. It must have a history of several hundred years.

"That proclamation paper, it belongs to the highest grade by Ming dynasty royal tribute! This is no trivial matter." An elderly man spoke up.

At that instant, another white-haired old man, pointing at the painting, said with a trembling voice:

"This... this is Tang Bohu’s ’Four Women Enjoying the Moon’. I heard that this painting was auctioned off for tens of millions at a provincial capital Qian Family auction just half a month ago!"

"It seemed to have been acquired by Tong City’s tycoon Guo Jun, for the price of 50 million!"

As these words came out, the room erupted into buzz!

"You... you must be joking, right?" Zhou Na said to the old man, unwilling to believe it.

A painting that looked so faded, you’re telling me it’s worth 50 million?

The old man’s face darkened as he turned to Zhou Shichang, hmphing:

"Old Zhou, is your granddaughter questioning the judgement of the deputy director of the Jianghai Museum?"
