Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1356: Successive Showcases

Three treasures have already appeared, what will come next?

Everyone was looking at Huo Sining, wondering what more magical and shocking items she would present.

Unhurriedly, Huo Sining continued to open the box, and from the long, slender box that followed, she took out a painting and slowly unfolded it.

Seeing the painting, many were astonished. Quite a few people recognized it, especially after seeing the seals on it, some experts couldn’t stay calm.

”Tang Yin! That’s the ’Li Duanduan Drawing’!”

Some who knew ancient paintings immediately recognized the content of the painting.

”Wasn’t the ’Li Duanduan Drawing’ said to have been taken abroad by Puyi after leaving the Forbidden City? How did it end up in Huo Sining’s hands?”

”Could it be a fake? I heard that the ’Li Duanduan Drawing’ at the Nanjing Museum is a counterfeit!” someone expressed doubt.

”Look, besides Tang Yin’s private seal, there are also the seals of Shi Tao and Zheng Banqiao on it! The Nanjing Museum’s version doesn’t have these two seals. I’ve studied the ancient paintings of these two masters for many years, and these seals are genuine; this painting is definitely authentic!”

A research expert, after seeing the two familiar seals on this ancient painting, hurriedly began to analyze.

Tang Bohu’s paintings have enjoyed international fame over the years, with many of his works circulated, though most are scattered among the public.

In fact, in the early years, Tang Bohu’s paintings were not paid much attention by domestic museums in Huaxia.

By the time the collectors in the country began to pay attention to Tang Bohu’s paintings after the liberation, it was too late; many of Tang Bohu’s authentic works had already drifted overseas.

In the late 1980s, several international auction houses began to auction Tang Bohu’s authentic works. Due to Tang Bohu’s high reputation, many foreign collectors were willing to pay a hefty price for them.

Just recently, Tang Yin’s fan painting ”Jiangting Ancient Talks Painting” broke the record for fan paintings at an auction price of 11.5 million RMB, and his scroll ”Pine Cliff Retreat Painting” sold for an astronomical price of 70 million, refreshing the auction record of all his works.

The ”Li Duanduan Drawing” in Huo Sining’s hands was the same painting she first saw when she met Qin Lianshan and Elder Wu at Diecuiyuan.

This painting was originally intended by Elder Wu to be sold to Qin Lianshan to raise surgery funds during his troubled times. However, the painting, hidden behind a piece of raw rice paper, was appraised by Ma Liwen as a forgery, and Elder Wu almost tore it up in frustration.

Fortunately, at that time, Huo Sining used the Heavenly Eye to see the abnormality in the painting and pointed out a few clues. A group of experts noticed discrepancies from the fake seals, discovering the real painting hidden behind the raw rice paper.

Because Huo Sining had bet with Ma Liwen at that time, Elder Wu unexpectedly received fifty thousand, gathering the money needed for his granddaughter’s operation, so he was in no hurry to sell the painting.

Until last year when Huo Sining’s Jubao Pavilion opened, Elder Wu suddenly approached her, wanting to transfer the painting to Huo Sining.

Though not lacking money, Huo Sining did lack treasures like the ”Li Duanduan Drawing.” Since Elder Wu wanted to sell, she saw no reason to refuse and gladly agreed, purchasing Elder Wu’s painting at a high price.

This ”Li Duanduan Drawing” also holds a fascinating story within a story, but Huo Sining did not elaborate, because with Tang Bohu’s international fame, there’s no need for her to narrate further. Everyone present knows the value of Tang Bohu’s authentic works.

After the Tang Yin painting was displayed for several minutes, Huo Sining took out another box and said with a smile:

”The fifth treasure is something I won in a bet two days ago at Mr. Li’s manor. This treasure was also acquired due to an accident. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Sakai, head of the Dongyang delegation, for this treasure!”

As soon as these words from Huo Sining left her mouth, Sakai Ichiro’s face turned green, and without needing more words, he also realized what treasure Huo Sining was referring to!

Valued at 100 million USD, just the mention of the dragon stone species made his heart feel like it was being fiercely grasped, filled with pain and bitterness, looking at Huo Sining with eyes filled with spite, his entire face twisted in anger.

Smiling cheerfully, Huo Sining took the dragon stone species out of the box and explained:

”Where there are dragons, there is water. Those skilled in stone gambling know of the legend of the dragon stone species. The fifth treasure I’m showcasing is this dragon stone species!”

The fist-sized oval jadeite appeared before everyone, the texture smooth and delicate like silk, extremely gentle in color. Under the exhibition lights, the fluorenscence emitted remarkably, the luster shockingly impressive.

The entire jadeite was filled with an abundance of water, shimmering translucence, as if water might overflow any moment.

”Oh my God! It’s truly a dragon stone species!”

”I’m going insane! Such a large dragon stone species!”

”This dragon stone species was lost by Sakai Ichiro to Huo Sining? No wonder Sakai Ichiro is targeting her!”

Some, unaware of what a dragon stone species was, were asking around why everyone was so excited.

Domestic search engines were abuzz with a craze for dragon stone species searches. Upon finding out that dragon stone species is the leader among the three legendary jadeites, countless people went mad over it.

”Huo Sining previously won imperial green and the Jade Heaven Bead in Ruili, and now she has the dragon stone species, achieving the legendary three superior jadeites! Is this woman defying the heavens? Where does she get such good luck?”

”Hasn’t Sakai Ichiro been driven into a heart attack? Haha, a dragon stone species - a piece of jadeite like this, isn’t it worth several tens of millions?!”

”Tens of millions? What a joke, even in the billions people are scrambling to buy it! The Jade Queen lives up to her name, now the rise of the ’Crowned Jade Beauty’ can’t be stopped worldwide!”

”Triple the ratings! CBS’s viewership has reached new heights, this Huo woman is truly our lucky star!”

The program director of CBS TV Station was jumping with excitement.

With the dragon stone species’ appearance, CBS’s viewership surged again, with numerous viewers calling to inquire about the dragon stone species.

Many foreign audiences had never heard of the dragon stone species before, but upon seeing this unique jadeite taken out by Huo Sining, they found it incredibly beautiful and noble, deeply moved.

The Li’s Consortium offered a price of 100 million USD for the dragon stone species, and Li Jun candidly acknowledged this, even jokingly saying that despite his astronomical offer, Huo Sining still refused to sell.

This news astonished everyone present.

But immediately, they also found it quite understandable that Huo Sining could hold so many treasures, showing that this Oriental woman wasn’t lacking money. Such things like the dragon stone species are rare finds and not something money can simply buy. Once it’s let go, it might never be encountered again in a lifetime. If they were Huo Sining, they probably wouldn’t part with it either.
