My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 70: Rich People Are Annoying

After a close inspection of the antiques, Yu Tianshuo carefully set the painting down and murmured, "Incredible... truly incredible."

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun asked curiously, "What do you think, Master Yu? Can my antiques be auctioned here?"

Yu Tianshuo looked at her and replied, "Miss Bai, your antiques are more than worthy of being auctioned here. However, I’m afraid no one will dare to buy them."

Bai Hanyun blinked in confusion. "Why? Is there something wrong with them?"

Before Yu Tianshuo could explain, Li Qin said, "It’s not that your antiques have a problem, but that their cultural value is extremely high, and their prices will also naturally be expensive."

"As we all know, an antique’s value is determined by its cultural significance, condition, and rarity. Based on these three aspects alone, Miss Bai, your antiques are priceless."

He then pointed to the calligraphy and the paintings. "Just take these paintings and calligraphy as examples. Not only are they well-preserved, but they also show that colorful ink was already used in paintings over 6,000 years ago."

"The significance of this discovery not only demonstrates how advanced the people’s lives in the Yu Empire were at that time, but also confirms its existence. If we can obtain more antiques from this Yu Empire, we might even be able to add them to the official historical timeline."

After listening to Li Qin’s explanation, Bai Hanyun finally understood why the director of the national museum was present.

Lowering her gaze, she thought, ’Looks like today’s meeting isn’t just about appraising antiques. Indeed, antique dealing is never simple. If I’m not careful, I could really get into trouble.’

With that in mind, Bai Hanyun feigned confusion and asked, "So I can’t sell these antiques?"

Sensing her disappointment, the director of the national museum asked, "Miss Bai, can you tell me where you obtained these antiques?"

Bai Hanyun looked at him and calmly replied, "They were given to me as gifts by my late grandfather before he passed away."

Upon hearing this, the director nodded in understanding. "No wonder they are so well-preserved. Turns out, they were part of your grandfather’s private collection."

After saying that, he exchanged glances with Yu Tianshuo and Li Qin, then nodded. Seeing this, the two old men visibly relaxed.

Noticing their subtle exchange, Bai Hanyun thought, ’As expected. The director didn’t come to appraise the antiques. He came to determine whether my antiques came from the black market or tomb robbers.’

She lowered her eyes, and the corner of her lips curved up slightly. ’Unfortunately for him, they will never find out the true source of my antiques, no matter how hard they investigate.’

Now that she had uncovered the real purpose of the meeting, Bai Hanyun said, "Master Yu, Master Li, if either of you is interested, I will let you select the antiques you want first. As for the rest, I will register them for the auction."

As soon as her words fell, Yu Tianshuo and Li Qin’s eyes lit up.

Happy with Bai Hanyun’s words, Yu Tianshuo laughed. "Then I won’t refuse Miss Bai’s kindness."

Pointing to the wedding dress, the two paintings, and the calligraphy, he said, "Miss Bai, I will buy these four items. How about 1 billion for the wedding dress, 500 million for the calligraphy, and 1 billion for the two paintings?"

Upon hearing the price, Bai Hanyun smiled and nodded. "I trust that Master Yu will give me a fair offer. I agree with the price."

"Great!" With her agreement, Yu Tianshuo turned to the general manager of the Gu Bao Auction House and said, "General Manager, please prepare the contract and transfer the payment to Miss Bai."

The general manager smiled. "Yes, Old Master. I will take care of it immediately."

Hearing this, Li Qin could only scold his best friend silently. ’Old fox! He is so quick to snatch up the best treasures! Alas, rich people are annoying.’

Looking at the remaining antiques, Li Qin quickly said, "Miss Bai, I’d like to buy the jewelry and the wooden boxes. How about 100 million for each piece of jewelry and 700 million for the three wooden boxes?"

The wooden boxes weren’t just made from rare huanghuali wood, but were also exquisitely carved, adorned with gems, and in good condition. Offering 700 million for them was a fair price.

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun made a quick mental calculation and realized she had earned 3.9 billion in less than five minutes.

Smiling at Li Qin, she said, "Since Master Li likes them, I’m happy to sell them to you."

Afraid she might change her mind, Li Qin immediately said, "General Manager, please prepare my contract as well."

"Of course. Please wait a moment, Master Li."

With that, the general manager hurried off to prepare the contracts for Yu Tianshuo and Li Qin.

While waiting, the director of the national museum continued to probe Bai Hanyun for more information, but all he got were answers like ’I don’t know’ or ’I’m not sure.’

When the general manager returned with both contracts, the director had no choice but to give up the questioning.

After signing the contracts with Yu Tianshuo and Li Qin, the payments were transferred to Bai Hanyun’s account.

Seeing more than 6 billion in her balance, Bai Hanyun grinned inwardly and thought, ’With this much money, I can buy many things for Feng Xiyan and the others. As long as they have enough supplies, they should be able to defeat the Yuezhi Tribe and survive the drought.’

While Bai Hanyun was thinking about what to buy for Feng Xiyan and the others, Yu Tianshuo said, "Miss Bai, the auction will begin in an hour. Would you like to attend the banquet while waiting?"

Bai Hanyun’s main purpose in visiting the Gu Bao Auction House today was to find out what Bai Li planned to do, and what she wanted from the man called CEO Gui.

If she wanted to find this information, then the best place to go was the banquet where those attending today’s auction were gathered.

Having made her decision, Bai Hanyun smiled. "It’s my honor to be able to attend the banquet."
