Zhang Meili covered her face, feeling the burning pain, and opened her mouth to say something. But when she saw her father's angry eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words.
"What are you standing there for? Kneel down and apologize!"
"How could I have a stupid daughter like you? Who else could you have offended but President Lu?"
"Do you think our Zhang family is living too comfortably?"
Countless fires of anger were burning within Zhang Xuan. If it weren't for the fact that she was his only daughter, he would have wished he could strike Zhang Meili to death.
He knew that President Lu must be furious, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken such angry words.
Zhang Meili did not dare to hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground, her voice trembling as she said, "President Lu, I'm sorry. I was rude just now, I shouldn't have said those things."
"Slap yourself."
"I hope you can overlook my shortcomings. I really didn't expect you to come here in person..."
As she said this, she lightly slapped herself a few times, tears falling uncontrollably.
But it was all just an act. In her heart, she was so jealous that she wished she could tear Du Jiaojiao apart.
She even suspected that this slut Du Jiaojiao had done it on purpose.
President Lu sneered, "You still haven't figured out one thing."
"You should be apologizing not to me, but to the Young Master."
"However, you don't need to apologize anymore, because you are not worthy of kneeling before the Young Master. You will only pollute our Young Master's eyes by being here. Get out immediately, I don't want to see you for another second."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan also knelt down.
"President Lu, I have been with you for so long, I may not have merit, but I have labor."
"I beg you, give us another chance. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Seeing that President Lu's expression had not changed at all, Zhang Xuan directly turned his gaze to Mu Feng. He kowtowed heavily on the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "Young Master, I beg you to be merciful."
"I will discipline my daughter well and absolutely will not let such a thing happen again."
"I beg you to give me another chance to redeem myself."
President Lu did not say a word, but looked at Mu Feng respectfully.
As long as he could get a response, no matter the outcome, he would execute it unconditionally.
Mu Feng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Do you know how much the painting your daughter tore up is worth?"
"Money is secondary. What is truly important is the value of the painting."
"It's the Plum Blossom Painting, the Plum Blossom Painting collected by Emperor Taizong of Tang."
"She said the painting Jiaojiao showed was fake, and she tore it up on the spot. The value of this painting is at least over a billion yuan."
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was stunned and then collapsed to the ground.
He hadn't doubted the authenticity of the painting at all.
People of such status, how could they possibly show a fake painting? Even President Lu could easily produce something of such value, let alone President Lu's Young Master, whose status he was not qualified to even approach.
Mu Feng said coldly, "Pay ten billion yuan in compensation, and this matter can be considered past."
"If you cannot pay the money, then prepare your daughter's funeral."
"Ten billion to buy her life, she's already earned it."
Zhang Xuan's entire body trembled. After years of hard work, all his assets put together could barely afford the money, but the crucial problem was that after paying this money, they would be completely bankrupt and even in debt.
Is his daughter worth ten billion yuan?
This question involuntarily arose in his heart.
When he subconsciously looked up and saw Mu Feng's cold gaze, he couldn't help but shiver.
If he couldn't come up with the money, not only would his daughter lose her life, but he might not be able to save himself.
"Please, can you give me a few days to prepare? I will sell all my assets and then try to borrow some money. I can barely gather it."
Mu Feng said faintly, "I will give you only one day. Get out!"
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuan moved out of the room on his knees, his voice trembling.
President Lu cast a cold glance at the others, who were looking dumbfounded, and let out a cold snort.
Only then did those people snap back to reality, their faces turning as pale as paper.
Zhang Meili's father could only beg pitifully before this person, so what were they?
"Let them all out!"
President Lu glared at those people and said, "Scram!"
"Keep your mouths shut about what happened today. It's best not to let me know you exist in this city, otherwise you'll have to think for yourselves!"
President Lu still had a fire in his heart. His Young Master was insulted, which in the past would have meant the minister's death for the emperor's disgrace.
The Young Master was too lazy to bother with these people, but he was not a patient person.
A group of people scrambled out.
Mu Feng's gaze turned, "Old Lu, you're already over forty. Don't get so angry, anger harms the liver."
President Lu immediately showed a smile, "I rarely get angry. I've been cultivating myself. However, these scoundrels insulted you, Young Master, and I will definitely not let them off."
Mu Feng just smiled, "Go and prepare some things for me."
After he mentioned the names of some things, President Lu immediately arranged for people to prepare them.
On the other hand, Professor Li beside him had eyes shining with golden light, "Mr. Mu, are you planning to repair this painting?"
"These antiques are the culmination of the efforts of our ancestors, passed down to this day for thousands of years. If they are destroyed by a stupid woman, it is a desecration of them."
Mu Feng smiled, "Repairing it is not too difficult for me, but it's impossible to achieve perfection, after all, a broken mirror is hard to mend."
"As long as it can be repaired, it's enough. This is a rare masterpiece!" Professor Li's face couldn't help but reveal excitement after he realized it.
He immediately took out his phone and started calling some old friends.
Such a painting must be appreciated by old friends, but after the excitement, he couldn't help but feel some worry.
Can it be repaired well?
At this moment, Du Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes were filled with a flowing brilliance. Watching Mu Feng carefully repair it, her small face turned slightly red.
Professor Li sighed, "It's divine craftsmanship!"
"I never thought Mr. Mu had such skill. It's fortunate it's in your hands. If someone else used this for forgery, it could achieve the effect of passing off the fake as genuine."
Mu Feng put down the repair tools and said with a smile, "Professor Li, you flatter me. Today is your birthday, and I can't let you encounter such a distressing thing on your seventieth birthday. Although a broken mirror is hard to mend, the flaw is almost imperceptible."
"This is Jiaojiao's birthday gift to you!"
Professor Li quickly waved his hand, "No, it's too valuable!"
