C104 Welcome Mr Ning
In the blink of an eye, the banquet hall quietened down.
Everyone's eyes turned to the door of the house.
Even Ning Yi looked over.
The next moment, an old man walked out of the house. His hair was white, and his face was kind. He was dressed in a black and white coat, and looked like the old man next door.
The only difference was that the old man's deep eyes would shine brightly from time to time, and his entire body would exude a formless, imposing aura.
This sort of imposing manner was something that couldn't be put together. It required a person at a higher level to go through many years of accumulation before it could be slowly formed.
It was obvious that the old man from Mo Family was one of the top figures as well.
"Old Master."
"Grandfather."
"Patriarch."
When the surrounding Mo Family people saw the old man, they all respectfully greeted him.
The reverence in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
The old man was Mo Yuqing's grandfather, Mo Yan, and the current head of Mo Family.
In Demonic City, he was also a top figure.
"Haha, everyone's here. Big fellows, no need to be polite. Please take a seat." Mo Yan kindly greeted her family and guests one by one.
He did not put on any airs, causing others to unconsciously have a good impression of him.
"Old Man, Ling'er came back to see you today specifically. She even brought her boyfriend with her." Mo Wuyan and Lan Faang also walked towards the old man with fawning expressions on their faces.
Although they had been quite cocky earlier, they didn't dare even fart in front of the old tutor.
Xiao Ming took a step forward with his chest puffed out and saluted politely: "Nice to meet you, Old Master. My name is Xiao Ming, I'm Ling'er's boyfriend."
Mo Ling'er also put away her arrogance and quickly walked to the old man's side, saying politely, "Grandfather, Ling'er knows that you like calligraphy and painting, so Xiao Ming and I purposely took a picture and came back to give it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a long prepared calligraphy and painting from behind him and placed it in front of the old tutor with a flourish.
His face was flushed.
The lordmaster nodded indifferently in response. "Mm, I have a point."
Casually putting away Mo Ling'er's painting, the old man passed it to the servant behind him. Then, his gaze landed on Xiao Ming.
However, he only sized it up once.
From the beginning to the end, his attitude was neither harsh nor indifferent.
"Grandfather." At this time, Mo Yuqing also walked over with Ning Yi.
The old man smiled and nodded. After that, his gaze landed on Ning Yi. He smiled warmly: "Yuqing, this is the Ning Yi you mentioned to me, Mr. Ning, right?"
Mo Yuqing quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes, grandfather. He is Ning Yi."
The old man's eyes lit up, and he walked up to Ning Yi to shake hands. A peculiar look flashed across his eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Ning, for coming to our Mo Family's banquet."
Ning Yi smiled and stretched out his hand, politely replying, "You are too kind, Old Master. It is my honor to be able to receive your and Yuqing's invitation."
Ning Yi spoke very politely and he was neither servile nor overbearing!
Seeing this scene, the hall became quiet once more.
Mo Yan's polite and warm actions towards Ning Yi left everyone in shock.
Mo Wuyan's family thought they were seeing things.
They still couldn't understand why the old man would be so passionate towards a poor, poor kid.
Could it be that this kid is really some big shot?
Impossible!
The old man, Mo Yuqing and Ning Yi were happily chatting on the side.
The Mo Family people all had strange expressions.
"A lowly person gets what he deserves." Mo Ling'er grumbled arrogantly.
His eyes were filled with contempt.
Mo Wuyan and Lan Faang stood to the side, their expressions could not be seen.
He wanted to go up and pay his respects, but he couldn't get a word in. He felt extremely depressed.
When he saw Ning Yi's gaze, his expression darkened.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, the main event of the Mo Family Banquet finally arrived.
Mo Family was a family of jewellery, and every time the banquet was held, there would be an appraisal meeting.
Each branch family would take out a lot of treasures and place them together to evaluate.
However, after so many years, the Treasure Convention had slowly deteriorated.
To put it nicely, it was an appraisal. To put it harshly, it was just competing with each other.
Long before the banquet had begun, they had put their treasures together.
The tones of gold and silver were varied and varied.
"My fellow clan members, is there anyone else who has brought a treasure here? It would be best if it's something special, and I can also test your foundations! " The old man asked loudly with a smile as he stood at the head of the table after seeing all the jewelry they had brought had been placed on the table.
Hearing this, all the Mo Family clansmen present looked at each other with unsightly faces.
It wasn't that they didn't want to bring the treasure with them, but that they didn't have anything that they could take out.
For the Jewelry Family, this felt like face-smacking.
"Damn it, it's all that bastard's fault." Mo Wuyan lowered his head with a gloomy face. Looking at Ning Yi, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred.
This was because the treasure of his store, Angel's Love, had been bought by Ning Yi. Otherwise, he would have been able to make a name for himself again in this banquet.
"Grandfather, I do."
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Finally, Mo Ling'er and Xiao Ming stood up with confident smiles.
The surrounding Mo Family people once again looked over in unison.
His eyes were filled with envy and curiosity!
The old man's face showed some interest as he smiled, "Alright, Ling'er. Let grandpa and the clan see what treasure you have brought."
Mo Ling'er nodded. She glanced at Xiao Ming complacently. Xiao Ming smiled proudly. Then, he took off a emerald ring and put it on the table.
"This is a green gem ring. It has been here for hundreds of years. It can be considered a cultural relic! I bought it abroad from a well-known collector for fifty million dollars. " Xiao Ming introduced them proudly.
Even Mo Ling'er's family was proud.
When the people from the Mo Family heard the price of the emerald ring, their hearts involuntarily trembled.
Even the old man's face couldn't help but flicker.
Fifty million wasn't much to the Mo Family.
However, a ring that had hundreds of years of history was hard to find!
At this moment, Mo Wuyan and Lan Faang's face were flushed red once again. In their hearts, they were more satisfied with their golden son in law, Xiao Ming. This time, they had gained a lot of face.
Ning Yi, who was at the side, saw the emerald ring and had a strange expression. He mumbled to himself, "Could it be a coincidence?"
When Mo Yuqing heard this, she was confused and asked, "Ning Yi, what did you say? What coincidence?"
Ning Yi's face quickly recovered. He waved his hand and smiled: "Nothing, I was just shocked by the price of this emerald."
Mo Yuqing pouted and rolled her eyes at Ning Yi in disbelief.
Buying a dress would fetch a sky-high price of ten million, how could he be shocked by the fifty million?
However, if Ning Yi didn't want to say it, he wouldn't pursue the matter either.
"Alright, the Treasure Convention will now officially begin. Which clan member would like to take the lead?"
Seeing that no one had dropped anything else, the old tutor announced loudly.
Only, the moment he finished speaking, the clan members of Mo Family all retreated a few steps and became humble.
"Lordmaster, you go first."
"That's right, if we were to talk about the abilities of the treasure inspection, who would dare to compete with you?"
"That's right, old tutor. You come first, there's no need to be polite."
While being humble, the Mo Family clansmen also didn't forget to flatter.
No one seemed to want to start first.
The lordmaster smiled but didn't say anything in response. The expression on his face was one that others couldn't fathom.
"Old man, why don't we let Ning Yi come first. No matter what, he is our Mo Family's guest."
At this moment, Mo Wuyan sneered and suddenly opened his mouth!
And the person he recommended turned out to be Ning Yi.
When he spoke, he did not forget to glare fiercely at Ning Yi!2
When he said that, he naturally did not have any good intentions. It was just that he wanted to make things difficult for Ning Yi and wanted to embarrass him.
