She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Cao Yuqing was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Her nails dug into her palms, and the pain kept her sane.

Seeing that her eyes were red with anger, President Cao felt sorry for his granddaughter and knew that she would only bring shame upon herself if she kept asking questions.

So, half-jokingly, "Yuqing, seeing Manshu learning to gamble on gemstones, are you regretting it again? Didn't we agree that you would learn to appraise gemstones and inherit your grandfather's legacy?"

After President Cao's teasing, everyone remembered that Miss Cao was already an outstanding student in the Archaeology Department of C University, and when she graduated, she would directly inherit President Cao's mantle.

For her, it doesn’t matter whether she learns gambling on stones or not.

Who would have thought that Cao Yuqing had approached Master Zhu several times and pestered him to become his disciple, but was rejected?

Cao Yuqing recovered and gave Old Man Cao a reproachful look: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Of course I won't regret it. Treasure appraisal is also very interesting. I found a piece of Li Tinggui ink in Tianfu Lane last week."

"Is it really Li Tinggui's ink?" There was an old man next to him who was a collector and preferred the four treasures of the study and calligraphy and painting.

As soon as I heard it was Li Tinggui Mo, I instantly became interested.

Seeing that everyone's attention was diverted, Cao Yuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think so. When there is a chance another day, Yuqing will ask for advice from all the seniors. I hope you can help me keep an eye on it."

The collector nodded hurriedly: "Of course, I have been collecting for a long time but have never come across a piece of good Li Tinggui ink. If Yuqing picks up a genuine piece, then I must appreciate it carefully."

"If Yuqing is willing to give it up, I can also make an offer to buy it."

Cao Yuqing returned to her usual aloof attitude and politely refused: "If it is really Li Tinggui's ink, then I definitely won't sell it. When I bought that piece of ink, I thought of my grandfather's love of calligraphy, so I wanted to give it to him."

Chairman Cao stroked his beard, feeling relieved by his granddaughter's words: "It's great that you have this intention, keep it for yourself."

Someone nearby praised Cao Yuqing: "If Yuqing succeeds in picking up the bargain this time, she can be considered a successful apprentice. President Cao has someone to succeed him. This is really enviable."

"Isn't it? Yuqing's talent in treasure appraisal is incomparable to those useless youngsters in our family."

The young man from the other family is Cao Yuqing's admirer.

I know that she had tried to become Master Zhu's apprentice many times, but failed every time.

Now seeing that she boldly asked, and was mocked by Mr. Zhu for not being compatible, she felt gloomy.

He stared at Manshu with a cold look.

"Since she is Master Zhu's apprentice, she must have some skills. I heard that Master Zhu has many collections at home. Why not let Miss Manshu open a few pieces of jadeite for us to see?"

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Liu Hong pretended to be generous and said, "If Miss Manshu can find jadeite, no matter what it is, I will take it all."

The elders of the Liu family were furious.

"What do you want to collect?" With the little money you have, can you afford to buy Mr. Zhu's collection?

I'm afraid you are here to discredit our family!

Cao Yuqing's eyes lit up: "I'm afraid Manshu has just become my disciple and hasn't even entered the door yet. Liu Hong, don't deliberately embarrass him."

After that, she looked at Manshu again and comforted her, "Sister Manshu, you have to study hard. We are all doing this for your own good. We are all family here today and we won't make things difficult for you."

At this moment, Cao Yuqing was like a confidant older sister. She glanced at Yan Zhan out of the corner of her eye and was a little disappointed when she found that he was not looking at her.

However, this did not affect her performance.
