"Come here, let me have a look at it."
The old lady was getting restless and ordered softly, to which all her juniors made way for her.
She adjusted her reading glasses and looked at it without blinking.
Such powerful strokes, so brilliant and smooth! It was simply a masterpiece!
"I’m quite certain that this isn’t an imitation," Claude gave a thumbs up and seemed rather excited. "I would never expect to see Wang Xizhi's original work here!"
"Yes! It’s usually seen only in museums!"
"So beautiful! His ability to create this piece makes him worthy of being the Sage of Calligraphy!"
Everyone lavished praise on it and Grandmother Lyndon was beyond thrilled!
"Alright, alright, alright!" The grandmother repeated three times before carefully putting away the scroll. She instructed her servants, "Put this in the box right away. Be sure to hold it gently and put it down carefully!"
"Yes,” The servants nodded in quick succession and were very cautious to not hold it using too much force. Everyone said that it was Wang Xizhi's work and was of immense value. If they destroyed it, would they be able to afford its compensation?!
On one side, Lily bit her lip tightly and felt touched for some reason.
Ashton had sold the company just to buy her a pair of high heels and even presented such a momentous gift to granny.
"Hey, look here everyone! Darryl's expression is so funny, haha!"
William burst out laughing right away and pointed at Darryl, saying, "Look. He’s also holding a box in his hand! Haha! He’s got a gift for granny too!"
William's words spurred the crowd to start jeering.
Indeed, Darryl's expression was unnatural, though it was due to Ashton’s shamelessness! To think that Ashton would give the old lady a fake!
"Come on now, Darryl! Take out your gift and let us have a look!"
"Yeah, haha!"
Everyone saw the gift box Darryl was holding. The box looked far too shoddy as if it was picked up from the garbage.
Darryl was contemptible. Even if he could not bear to spend his money during ordinary times, did he have to skimp so hard with the old lady’s birthday celebration?
"Forget it."
They would almost certainly mock him regardless of what gift he had, so it would be better to avoid all the troubles
