Shen Rong showed Lan Yanhao the calligraphy she had bought for 12 million, saying it was a copy of Wang Xizhi's work, and even as a forgery, it was frightfully expensive.
Although 12 million was a big bargain for this piece, she showered him with praise and convincing arguments until Lan Yanhao was persuaded and agreed to reimburse her for the cost.
Lan Yanhao said, "The timing is perfect, next month on the 3rd is my father-in-law's... Mr. Long Sr's birthday. The Lan Family has also received an invitation. This calligraphy will make an excellent birthday gift. We should take good care of it."
Mr. Long Sr was Lan Jin's grandfather, living in Emperor State, the foremost of the Nine Provinces. He used to be one of the eight great families in Emperor State, a very prestigious Martial Arts Family.
Although martial arts had almost declined now, it didn't matter much; the Long Family's position in Emperor State and even the whole Nine Provinces was still pivotal.
