After a flash marriage, I found myself marrying into a wealthy family
Chapter 57 Real Painting and Fake Painting
Qiao Yue, dressed in luxurious clothes, walked into Ji's house holding her husband's hand.
Immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
There were many relatives in the hall, at least twenty or thirty people.
Everyone was chatting with wine glasses, but when they saw Ji Beichen and his wife appeared, they gradually became quiet. Everyone looked curiously at Qiao Yue, the rumored daughter-in-law of the Ji family.
Qiao Yue was naturally nervous inside, but she tried to keep herself decent and indifferent on the surface. She slightly curved the corners of her mouth and gently met the eyes that were looking at her.
Ji Beichen led her to the center of the hall.
A middle-aged man came over and said to Ji Beichen, "Beichen, is this your wife?"
Ji Beichen nodded, "Yes, second uncle."
It turns out that this middle-aged man is the difficult second uncle. He has a pointed head and a narrow forehead, and his eyes are full of calculations. He doesn't seem to be an easy person to get along with.
However, Qiao Yue still shouted in a very decent manner, "Hello, second uncle."
The second uncle smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello, we are all a family. Please take care of us in the future."
Several other unknown relatives also came over and almost surrounded the couple.
Qiao Yue suddenly felt like her head was heavy, and her social pressure doubled.
Fortunately, Ji Beichen was very helpful and rescued her in time.
He said to the relatives, "Sorry, let's go to grandpa's study first."
Then he pulled Qiao Yue upstairs.
The two walked into the study and saw that besides Grandpa Ji, there was also a very elegant woman.
It must be Aunt Ji Beichen.
The aunt is wearing a white professional suit, has short short hair, and has a very dashing temperament.
"Are you Qiao Yue?" My aunt looked at Qiao Yue and asked.
Qiao Yue nodded, "Hello, aunt, it's our first time meeting you. Please take good care of me."
The aunt nodded slightly without much expression.
Grandpa Ji looked at Qiao Yue kindly, smiled and warned, "Yue Yue, there are many relatives at home today, and this is a rare opportunity. By the way, I want you to get to know the family, don't be nervous."
Qiao Yue also smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you grandpa."
Ji Beichen said, "Grandpa, why don't you care about me?"
My aunt came over and said, "Go to the other side."
Several people laughed.
The aunt suddenly pointed to a painting on Grandpa's desk and said to Qiao Yue, "Come and see how this painting looks like, "Sunset over the Long River". I bought it in New York."
Qiao Yue looked over.
Ji Beichen frowned slightly and looked at his aunt.
But his aunt glared at him and motioned him not to speak.
Grandpa Ji sat aside and drank tea calmly, ignoring them.
Qiao Yue came closer and looked at the "Sunset over the Long River" carefully, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Because this picture is obviously fake.
First of all, "Sunset over the Long River" is a world-class cultural relic that has been collected in the British Museum all year round and cannot be traded on the market.
Secondly, the name of the artist on this painting and the seal is wrong.
A real fake painting.
Qiao Yue was very conflicted in her heart. In front of her aunt, she said that she didn't know the goods and bought a fake painting. Wasn't she too disrespectful?
"How is it? Is this painting good?" Auntie asked Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue glanced at her but didn't answer.
She walked to the study door and closed the door gently.
Then he looked at his aunt and asked, "Did you really buy this painting?"
Auntie raised her eyebrows, "Why do you ask?"
Qiao Yue: "It's nothing, I just intuitively feel that you didn't buy this painting."
After all, Ji Beichen said that her aunt was a strong woman who dominated the shopping mall. From her perspective, it was impossible for her to be deceived by such fake goods.
The aunt replied, "I didn't buy it, someone else gave it to me."
Sure enough, Qiao Yue's intuition was very accurate. Since my aunt didn't buy it, the next step is easy.
Qiao Yue talked for a while and then told the truth, "...Although I don't know who gave it to you, this painting is indeed fake. When we close the door as a family, I will speak directly. I hope you don’t mind.”
After Ji Beichen heard this, he looked at his wife with admiration.
To be honest, the knowledge about this painting is quite unknown. My aunt asked Qiao Yue deliberately just to test her.
The aunt looked at Qiao Yue and was silent for a few seconds, then she smiled widely.
She patted Qiao Yue on the shoulder and said, "Yes, he has brains and courage, and he also understands the occasion when he speaks."
Qiao Yue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled too.
Auntie looked at Ji Beichen and said, "Originally, I was worried that you would get married casually and pick a straw bag, but that won't work. Now Auntie is relieved. Our Ji family must have brains."
Ji Beichen raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you for worrying about me. Remember to make up for the wedding gifts you owe us."
Aunt: "Okay, you and your wife can choose whatever you want, and charge it to my account."
Qiao Yue said sweetly, "Thank you, aunt."
Grandpa Ji drank tea with a smile, "The granddaughter-in-law I personally selected must be excellent. Your aunt insisted on taking the Yueyue exam, which is really unnecessary."
Auntie quickly walked over and poured Grandpa a cup of tea, "Yes, Dad, you always have the best vision."
Ji Beichen pointed to the fake painting on the desk, "Then who has such bad taste that he actually gave a fake to grandpa?"
Grandpa Ji smiled but said nothing.
The aunt snorted coldly, "Your second uncle."
Ji Beichen suddenly realized, "Oh, that makes sense."
Qiao Yue lowered her head and snickered.
Grandpa Ji: "It's more or less my heart. I'm happy today. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go downstairs and take Yueyue to meet our relatives."
Aunt and grandpa walked in front, Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue walked behind, and they both went downstairs.
Since many relatives came, three tables were set up in the banquet hall.
Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue naturally followed Grandpa Ji to sit at the main table.
Before the luncheon officially started, Grandpa Ji raised his glass and spoke briefly.
"Everyone, today is New Year's Day, and the new year is about to begin. Last year, our family had a happy event. My grandson, Ji Beichen, completed a major life event and got married."
Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue also raised their glasses and stood up.
Grandpa Ji continued, "I would like to introduce to you my grandson, Ji Beichen, and my grandson's wife, Qiao Yue."
My second uncle was very knowledgeable and took the lead in applauding. Other relatives also followed suit.
Grandpa Ji beamed, "These two children are very sensible and filial, and their wedding is also being prepared. On such a happy day today, let us raise our glasses to bless them and our Ji family in the new year." One year, everything is renewed and prosperous!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
The butler ordered the dishes to be served, and the banquet officially began.
Qiao Yue looked at Grandpa Ji and was very moved.
Ever since she married into the Qiao family, she has received much attention. Grandpa Ji specially introduced her as a junior at the family banquet today. It can be said that he was sincere and gave her enough face.
Qiao Yue was very grateful for such luck, and secretly made up her mind that since her husband's family was so kind to her, she would also be considerate of her own and be a good wife of the Ji family.
