Hearing these words, Xu Mingyu's face became extremely ugly.
Originally, he had only thought that Su Nantian had slandered him for stealing the ancient coins in order to make him lose face.
Now, it seemed like the other party was trying to stand up for Xu Tao!
Xu Ruyan's few people, who were originally unclear about Su Nantian's purpose, also instantly brightened up.
Now that they finally knew Su Nantian's purpose, they all looked extremely excited.
Su Nantian using Xu Mingyu to deal with Xu Tao was really too much of a relief!
"Those four ancient coins of yours might be worth a few dollars, not more than a thousand! Xu Ruyan still owes me two million dollars, deduct it from there!"
Xu Mingyu's face showed a cold smile.
You want me to compromise, no way!
Big deal, if I give you one thousand dollars, I'll still get over one million nine hundred thousand dollars, blood money!
"I'm a Jianyan Yuanbao, the price of one is over one million, so let's count it as one million, four pieces for four million, excluding the two million Ruyan will give you, you'll have to give me two million!"
"If you don't believe me, you can check the price of this Jianyan Yuanbao of mine on the Internet!"
Su Nantian laughed.
The moment these words came out, the entire room was shocked.
This thing was that expensive?
Someone immediately took out his mobile phone to check online and shouted, "The last auction of this Jianyan Yuanbao sold for 1,680,000!"
Xu Mingyu was confused and shouted, "Su Nantian, how can you afford something so expensive! What you have must be a fake!"
"A fake?"
Su Nantian smiled faintly, "Why don't you examine it right now?"
The words fell, he immediately took out his mobile phone, opened a live broadcast software, clicked into a live room called Daily Treasure Identification.
This is a recent, very hot treasure identification program, the appraisers in it are all the authorities in the treasure identification world of Daxia.
At the moment, there was a man with glasses and long hair in the live broadcast room appraising treasures.
This man's name was Niu Xiaode, and many people in the Xu family knew him.
Su Nantian immediately connected and took out the Jianyan Yuanbao, "Mr. Niu, please help me take a look at this ancient coin!"
Seeing the Jianyan Yuanbao, Niu Xiaode's eyes lit up, allowing Su Nantian to show him the details, and he began to examine it.
After a long time, he was suddenly shocked, "Bao You, you're a criminal! I can't believe that there is such a rare item as the Jianyan Yuanbao! This one, it would cost a small million!"
"But you only have one, it's no fun! This thing needs to be collected in a set!"
Su Nantian deliberately looked at Xu Mingyu and laughed, "There was originally one set, but someone stole five of them!"
"Hey, that person has enough guts, if he gets caught, how can he be sentenced to ten years!"
Niu Xiaode teased.
After a few polite words, Su Nantian left the live broadcast room.
At this moment, almost everyone present was stunned.
How could they not have imagined that Su Nantian's few ancient coins were actually so expensive?
That it had been authenticated by an authority in the appraisal world like Niu Xiaode should be beyond doubt.
"How about it? Pay up, two million dollars!"
Su Nantian looked at Xu Mingyu.
Xu Mingyu's mouth was even more agape, unable to speak for half a day.
Only after a long time did he reluctantly say, "Su Nantian, you win! I admit that Xu Tao didn't steal from me!"
Two million dollars was not a small amount for him.
Therefore, he could only concede.
"What about them?"
Su Nantian's gaze swept back to the others who had just slandered Xu Tao.
"They didn't steal either! You say that, right?"
Xu Mingyu hastily winked at the crowd.
"Right, we just made a mistake, we didn't lose anything."
Of course, the crowd could only follow Xu Mingyu's meaning.
Thus, Xu Tao's matter was considered resolved.
Xu Ruyan's several people all looked very excited.
Xu Ruyan's eyebrows were filled with adoration.
The way Liu Lan looked at Su Nantian was also slightly different.
Xu Tao even clenched his fists tightly as he excitedly said, "From now on, I'll be a fan of my brother-in-law!
The old lady sighed, and a strong look of disappointment once again appeared in her gaze towards Xu Mingyu as she muttered, "It's hard to become a great man!
And then she said out loud, "Since this matter is settled, let's turn the page! Now I'm going to announce another big event!"
"Next month is my 80th birthday, and it's probably my last, so we have to make it big this time!"
"Among the birthday gifts sent by the younger generation of the Xu family, I'll choose the one I'm most pleased with! Let the gift giver represent me and receive guests as the face of the Xu family!"
The moment the old lady's words were uttered, a stone created a thousand waves.
Everyone present was shocked beyond words!
They all read the meaning of the old lady's words.
The old lady was saying that she was old and wanted to appoint the next head of the Xu Clan!
Receiving guests on behalf of the old lady, the face of the Xu family, wasn't that the symbol of the next head of the Xu family?
Xu Mingyu couldn't help but get excited as he secretly clenched his fists.
Am I finally going to be the next head of the Xu family?
I've been waiting for this day for too long!
"Alright, adjourn the meeting!"
The old lady waved her hand and signaled for the crowd to leave.
Just as the crowd was leaving one by one, she suddenly said, "Ruyan, come with me for a moment!"
The crowd all showed a look of surprise.
What did the old lady want by summoning Xu Ruyan alone?
"Alright! Grandmother!"
Xu Ruyan replied and followed the old lady to the back hall.
A hint of shadow flashed across Xu Mingyu's eyes, as he always felt that something was wrong.
The back hall.
The old lady looked directly at Xu Ruyan, her face complex.
Only after a long time did she say, "Ruyan, it's true that I was a bit prejudiced against you in the past, that's my fault, I apologize to you!
"In the future, I have decided to level the playing field and treat you and Mingyu equally!"
"The next head of the Xu family will be chosen from among you, and whoever is more capable will be the next head of the Xu family!"
Over the past few days, she was really very disappointed in Xu Mingyu.
That day, a group of troublemakers came to the Xu family to cause trouble.
Xu Mingyu ran faster than anyone else, not caring about their well-being at all.
If Xu Ruyan hadn't intervened, her old life would have been lost.
She realized that she had misjudged Xu Mingyu, and she didn't feel comfortable leaving the Xu family in his hands.
Therefore, she wanted to give Xu Ruyan a chance, and if Xu Ruyan did a good job, she would hand over the family leadership to her.
When she heard these words, Xu Ruyan was confused.
She knew that her grandmother had always favored sons over daughters and had a deep prejudice against her; no matter how well she did, her grandmother had never acknowledged her.
But now, why had her grandmother's attitude changed so drastically?
Could it be that her own quiet devotion had touched Grandma?
"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you for giving me a fair chance to compete!"
Xu Ruyan's eyes suddenly turned red.
It was as if she had finally seen the clouds and the moon!
"Alright, prepare your birthday gift at ease! Ruyan, I'm optimistic about you!"
The old lady smiled and waved her hand.
"Then Grandma, you rest early, I'll go first."
Xu Ruyan said sincerely and left.
At that moment, Xu Mingyu, who was standing outside the door eavesdropping, became incomparably gloomy.
"This dead old lady really doesn't want to give me the position of head of the family anymore!"
Xu Mingyu clenched his fists in a deadly grip, his veins rippling, "No, I must find a way to make the old lady change her mind!"
...
On the way back.
Xu Ruyan's group of five were sitting in the car.
"Ruyan, what did the old lady tell you? It's definitely not good!"
Liu Lan couldn't wait to ask.
"Mom, you misunderstood Grandma! She came to apologize to me!"
Xu Ruyan recounted what the lady had said.
Upon hearing this, the few people in the car visibly froze and looked unusually shocked.
"Why did that dead old lady suddenly change her mind? Earlier, I felt strange when he spared Xu Tao! She can't be planning anything!"
Liu Lan's face was filled with suspicion.
"It must be that Mom has found out! After all, Mom also said today that she feels she won't live to see her next big birthday, and as they say, when a person is about to die, their words are good!"
"Ruyan, this is an opportunity for you to prepare a birthday gift for your grandmother that will please her! Don't let her down!"
Xu Zhiguo looked a bit happy.
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Ruyan nodded vigorously.
"Nantian, thank you for relieving Xiaotao just now!"
After that, Xu Ruyan looked at Su Nantian sincerely.
"Yes, brother-in-law, thank you!"
Xu Tao also said hastily.
"We're all family, what are you talking about, thank you!"
Su Nantian smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruyan and Xu Tao's hearts were quite warm.
Liu Lan, on the other hand, was a bit heartbroken.
The more Su Nantian said this, the more she was torn as to whether or not she should expel Su Nantian in the future.
"Brother-in-law, you were too good just now, how did you get your ancient coins into Xu Mingyu's pocket?"
Xu Tao asked with interest.
He didn't think that Xu Mingyu would steal from Su Nantian, so Su Nantian must have secretly put them there.
But this technique, it was really a bit profound, and actually, not even everyone had discovered it.
To be honest, he wanted to learn it.
"I don't want to talk nonsense, I didn't put the ancient coin in Xu Mingyu's pocket."
How could Su Nantian not understand Xu Tao's intentions?
This brat loved stealing, he couldn't condone it.
"Impossible! Then how did your coins end up in his pocket?"
"Maybe he really stole them?"
Su Nantian was vague.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Xu Tao was a bit lost and could only stop.
"Is your ancient coin really worth so much? How much did you spend to buy it?"
Liu Lan asked the thing she was most worried about.
"I spent one hundred dollars to buy it! It was also bought at the same place where I bought the jadeite last time, that place is very good at counterfeiting, so very few people can see it. Otherwise, how could I afford to buy something so expensive?"
Su Nantian casually snubbed a sentence.
He wasn't stupid, of course he knew Liu Lan's thoughts of keeping it for himself.
He didn't care about other things, but these three Jianyan Yuanbao could be of great use to him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan was a bit disappointed and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Buying fakes again, you're addicted to buying fakes, aren't you!"
After all, Su Nantian had helped the Xu family with these fake goods, so she didn't curse.
At that moment, Su Nantian seemed to have sensed something, and his face suddenly changed violently.
"Ruyan, stop the car!"
Su Nantian immediately shouted.
