Chapter 235 - 227 Portrait
"Did Old Zhang mention earlier how long the appraisal results would take?" Watching Old Zhang leave, Zhang Min asked Pei Qingyuan with a mix of nervousness and anticipation. The others also looked towards him, waiting to hear what he would say.
"Old Zhang said that to ensure the results are more accurate, it would require two groups of people to perform the test more than twice. If all goes well, we could know the results by tonight. Don’t worry, Old Zhang is a cautious man, with him personally overseeing it, there won’t be any problems."
Pei Qingyuan had already asked Old Zhang for details earlier, and Old Zhang is indeed a very trustworthy person.
"Tonight?" Zhang Min’s eyes widened. "Can it really be so quick?" It wasn’t just Zhang Min who was surprised; the astonishment of the others was no less than hers. Pei Qingyuan nodded.
"Let’s go have dinner first. I also want to see Shitou draw," Zhang Min said, pulling Shitou along as everyone followed naturally towards the dining room.
The moment Jin Auntie, who was setting up the dishes in the dining room, lifted her head and saw Shitou, she was so surprised she almost knocked over the dish on her tray. Fortunately, Shitou, with his quick reflexes and spiritual power, discreetly helped by supporting the tray just in time.
Jin Auntie, having recovered from her surprise, felt relieved she had not indeed dropped the dish. With a newfound steadiness, she greeted them with a smile and continued to shuttle back and forth from the kitchen, serving the dishes.
She couldn’t help but mutter to herself along the way—this person must not be a guest, otherwise why would he look so much like the old master? Could he be a close relative? But what’s strange is, this ’close relative,’ she had never seen in her more than ten years of service at the Pei Family.
