I'm a Rich And Handsome Villain
Yan Ruyue: Wasn't the painting meant to be given to me?

Before Mei Yuxian arrived, Lin Yuan went to look for Yan Ruyue first.

Lin Yuan was surprised because he only asked Yan Ruyue to keep the painting, but at this moment Yan Ruyue opened the painting scroll and enjoyed it.

"Miss Yan, what are you doing?" Lin Yuan asked in a strange voice.

"See the painting." Yan Ruyue was confused.

At first, Yan Ruyue was secretly happy to see Lin Yuan back but what she was waiting for was not the sweet words she thought.

Instead, Lin Yuan asked him in a strange voice, what was he doing with the painting.

Didn't he give the painting to her?

So, what if he saw the painting?

Lin Yuan felt a little strange, he only asked Yan Ruyue to keep it for a while.

How could he open it without permission?

But thinking about it, it seemed understandable.

After all, the painting originally belonged to the Yan family.

“Isn't this painting given to me? Let me see how .." said Yan Ruyue.

"Miss Yan, the painting I asked you to hold, can you return it to me now" Lin Yuan said.

The two spoke at the same time, but Lin Yuan's words more quickly annoyed Yan Ruyue.

Yan Ruyue did not react and understand at all so Lin Yuan took the painting from her hand and kept it.

"Huh?"

Seeing that his hand was emptied and the painting was now in Lin Yuan's hands, Yan Ruyue was dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Yuan finally understood what was happening.

Yan Ruyue was a little confused.

In the end, Yan Ruyue spoke first.

Seeing that the painting was taken from him by Lin Yuan's hand, Yan Ruyue felt a little embarrassed.

"Didn't you give me this painting?" Said Yan Ruyue.

“No... When did I say I would give you the painting? Didn't I just ask you to help me save it when I went to the toilet?” Lin Yuan said helplessly.

Although Lin Yuan already understood what was happening.

All of that was just a misunderstanding about Yan Ruyue.

She misunderstood that the painting for Mei Yuxian should have been given to her.

Lin Yuan remembered Yan Ruyue's words and her inexplicable expression earlier.

Lin Yuan knew that the misunderstanding hurt Yan Ruyue's feelings.

Yan Ruyue was stunned to know the truth.

'What?'

'That painting wasn't for me??'

'Am I getting too excited again???'

Yan Ruyue's face immediately flushed red.

A mixed expression of sadness and shame could be seen on his face.

Seeing Lin Yuan's reaction, Yan Ruyue finally understood that the painting was not meant to be given to her.

Yan Ruyue continued to blush and felt ashamed by all her fantasies.

Doesn't he deserve all the pain and shame?

Didn't he do this to Lin Yuan earlier?

In the past, Lin Yuan would always send his gifts and what he did was return them.

Even if the gift was given by Lin Yuan on his own initiative, he did not like it or want it.

And didn't he also take the initiative to give Lin Yuan a pair of gloves?

Who knew if Lin Yuan liked them?

And it's just a pair of gloves.

How could it be worth 50 million paintings in exchange for a mere pair of gloves?

Yan Ruyue thought of this and seemed to have considered the situation.

In addition to the embarrassment he caused himself, he also felt an uncomfortable sour feeling from within, extending throughout his body.

Yan Ruyue remembered how happy she was to receive the painting.

So, she was very sad to learn that the painting was not meant for her.

A strong sense of grievance surged into his heart and his eyes instantly reddened.

"I'm sorry…"

Yan Ruyue felt too embarrassed and did not know what to say.

Feeling her tears could fall at any moment, Yan Ruyue quietly rushed to the toilet.

Lin Yuan became speechless seeing Yan Ruyue cover her eyes as she rushed into the women's comfort room.

Yan Ruyue was injured again by her own fantasies.

Lin Yuan was not expecting it.

He's even more involved than before. (T/N: see chapter 43)

Although he had not expected it, Lin Yuan had already thought of a solution.

He is innocent, so the problem should not be difficult to overcome.

Lin Yuan looked up and saw that Mei Yuxian was already nearby.

Mei Yuxian held a precious gift box that made everyone curious about what was inside.

Mei Yuxian came with a fragrant wind immediately entering Lin Yuan's breath.

Mei Yuxian was very close to Lin Yuan because she had a very good impression of him.

The demon figure under the purple dress had a very clear impact from close range.

If a person with a weak character, he will nosebleed.

However, Lin Yuan was extremely stable. Although she was naturally attracted at a glance, she still saw the gift box in Mei Yuxian's hand.

The others were not as close as Mei Yuxian to experience the close range as Mei Yuxian.

They were also curious to know what was inside the box in Mei Yuxian's hand.

At a glance, the gift box looked different from the one that Mei Yuxian had given to the other juniors.

The box itself looked extremely expensive which made everyone want to know what Mei Yuxian's gift was to Lin Yuan.

For Mei Yuxian's special treatment to this Lin Yuan, everyone was not surprised.

After all, Lin Yuan helped the Mei family save face early.

Moreover, Lin Yuan came from an influential family so it was easy to have a good impression of him.

Lin Yuan was also very curious about Mei Yuxian's gift.

Lin Yuan took out the gift box and directly opened it.

Opening it now with others present or opening it yourself is fine.

Lin Yuan was also curious, so he immediately opened the box.

After seeing the gift in the gift box, Lin Yuan was quite surprised along with many guests.

C182 Jade green empire!

At this moment, sitting inside the gift box in Lin Yuan's hand was a half-hand sized jade Buddha statue.

It's basically cheap.

But Lin Yuan and the guests were quite surprised because the Buddha statue was not made of ordinary jade.

It was made from imperial green jade!

The imperial green was the best of its kind, the emperor among all jade!

The imperial green jade has the best color and the highest value.

At this moment, the imperial green jade Buddha statue in Lin Yuan's hand had an incredible bright green hue as if it was about to drip.

The imperial green jade was extremely expensive.

If an expert estimated its value, this imperial green jade Buddha statue was worth at least tens of millions.

Tens of millions might not be a great value let alone everyone present had an impressive background as well.

But the gifts that Mei Yuxian gave her juniors were quite expensive to show just how much wealth and grandeur the Mei family had.

This makes many people jealous.

Of course, they were not envious of this imperial green jade Buddha statue.

Although expensive, they definitely have the means to have some in their homes.

What they envy is what that gift represents.

Mei Yuxian gave gifts to other juniors worth around hundreds of thousands each.

But this reward given to Lin Yuan was worth tens of millions.

It was enough to see that Mei Yuxian preferred and appreciated Lin Yuan more.

The Mei family was different from the other big families.

In the Mei family, Mei Yuxian was basically in charge.

As long as he decides on something, it is considered final.

Thus, this was equivalent to Lin Yuan getting the good side of the entire Mei family.

The Lin Family was originally a top-tier family, plus gaining the support of the Mei family, Lin Yuan's influence grew even more terrifying.

In the eyes of many, Lin Yuan was only the heir of a large family in Jiangbei.

But now, his influence had suddenly increased by a lot.

“Thank you, Sister Yuxian, for the gift. It was very expensive.” Lin Yuan smiled and then closed the gift box again.

"It's nothing. Do you like it?" Mei Yuxian asked.

"I like it so much." Lin Yuan smiled and then stuffed the gift box into his pocket.

Seeing that Lin Yuan liked the gift, Mei Yuxian nodded in satisfaction and was about to turn around to leave.

Everyone is ready to turn.

But suddenly, Lin Yuan shouted. "Sister Yuxian, wait!"

“Hmm?”

Hearing Lin Yuan, Mei Yuxian turned her head and looked at Lin Yuan suspiciously.

The guests also looked at Lin Yuan strangely.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yuan lifted the painting scroll in his hand and then said with a smile: “The gift from Sister Yuxian is so expensive that I cannot take it in vain. I also have a gift for Sister Yuxian. ”

All the guests laughed at the idea because they had never seen a junior reward.

Did junior ever return a gift from an older one?

How could there be such a thing?

And what could Lin Yuan give back? The imperial green jade was already worth tens of millions, could he give something of the same value?

It would be better not to give back.

Mei Yuxian did not care whether the gift was expensive or not. But he did not feel the need for Lin Yuan to give something in return.

Mei Yuxian smiled and said, “Xiao Yuan doesn't need to give anything in return for my reward anymore. After all, Sister Yuxian is older than you. I have to be the one to give the gift and not expect anything in return. ”

Junior and elder, that was the difference in status of Lin Yuan and Mei Yuxian.

But breaking seniority played an important role in Lin Yuan's plan.

Lin Yuan planned to return the reward to shrink this kind of seniority.

He wanted to stand in the position of comrades!

This was the main reason why Lin Yuan intended to return his reward.

Therefore, Lin Yuan couldn't follow Mei Yuxian's words just now, after all he wasn't in a hurry.

“Well, Sister Yuxian should see this first, and then decide whether to accept it or not. Is that okay?"

If Lin Yuan directly insisted for Mei Yuxian to accept it, then he would definitely refuse.

But she wanted Mei Yuxian to see her reward first; naturally, she would not be able to resist.

Mei Yuxian couldn't even resist it without looking at it.

After all, Mei Yuxian had a very good impression of this young man, Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan called his sister. If not for the matter of Lin Yuan and Gui Qingtong, he would have wanted to regard Lin Yuan as a younger brother.

So, Mei Yuxian nodded helplessly and said, “OK. Let me see it before I decide. ”

The guests did not think that Lin Yuan would give something expensive in particular.

Mei Yuxian's tone also only cooperated.

Lin Yuan could hear the same tone in Mei Yuxian's talk, but it didn't matter.

Because she knew Mei Yuxian's love for this painting and how much she wanted to have it in a very long time.

Lin Yuan lifted the scroll, shuffled it, and the painting immediately opened.

Everyone looked at the black and white ink plum painting.

Plum flowers hanging upside down.

The branches are thick and scattered. The branches are full of bushy plum blossoms, or buds. The front leaned backwards in various poses like there were a thousand jade beads hanging and scattered on the silver branches.

White flowers and dried branches mirror each other. The air is so refreshing that it is as clear as a plum flower. The dry branches are described as arcs and the autumn moon full of energy. The distribution of plum blossoms has a sense of rhythm. Long branches are rare, while short branches are dense. The branches of the junction are especially full of stamens. Center dots petals hooks concise.

Very few people knew how valuable the painting was.

Most people don't see anything special about the painting, just a few.

And Mei Yuxian stared at this ink plum painting up close after Lin Yuan unfolded it.

Mei Yuxian carefully studied the plum blossoms in the painting.

After looking over the entire painting, Mei Yuxian quickly saw the part where the red seal or mark of the artist was placed.

Sure enough, he could see Wang Mian's red seal.

There is also a very famous ancient poem in the upper left corner of the painting.

After initially confirming, Mei Yuxian asked in a trembling tone, "This ... this is Wang Mian's 'The Ink Plum Blossom?"

Lin Yuan was not surprised by Mei Yuxian's reaction because he knew that Mei Yuxian liked this painting very much and had long wanted to buy it but could not.

So Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. "He."

Getting Lin Yuan's confirmation, Mei Yuxian became even more excited.

He reached out his slender jade hand and touched the plum blossoms in the plum ink painting with a hint of excitement.

His jade finger lightly tapped on the plum blossoms.

Mei Yuxian really liked this painting.

Without hesitation, Mei Yuxian turned his head and asked Lin Yuan directly: “Yuxian sisters really liked this 'The Ink Plum Blossom' painting. It is worth 50 million yuan, so can I ask Xiao Yuan to sell it to me?

"Yuxian sisters are willing to pay 100 million!"
