Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 921

Chapter 921: The Real Show Has Begun

Even Wen Xinya could not help but gasp in awe and shock. “Turns out it’s one of the ten greatest ancient Chinese paintings, ‘A Thousand Miles Of Mountains And Rivers’.”

Wen Xinya did not expect Duke Moville to be so generous. Seems like he had a great plan in mind! However, it’s unknown if she would waver.

Si Yiyan raised his brows and said smilingly, “Duke Moville, you’re really very generous, eh? You’re giving away such a legendary painting just like that.” He then glanced at Wen Xinya and said, “Xinya, hurry and thank Duke Moville!”

Although it was a token of apology, she still had to thank him for presenting her with such an ostentatious gift, so as to show her impeccable manners.

Wen Xinya put the painting away carefully and stowed it back inside the box before closing it. She then thanked him smilingly. “Thank you, Duke Moville. I’m very honored to receive such an exorbitant gift from you.”

She then handed the box to Liu Yanhua.

“Haha! Great that you like it, Miss Bella,” said Duke Moville, who could tell that she genuinely fancied the painting and her expression that only those who truly knew about paintings would have. Although she was shocked and excited to receive the gift, she was still composed and clearheaded. Clearly… she had gotten used to seeing things of superior quality.

It seems she came from an extraordinary family.

Regardless of how extraordinary she may be, how could she compare to the true blue aristocrats of Russia?

Si Yiyan said, “Duke Moville, you indeed have a splendid collection.”

After some kind and formal exchanges, they dropped the subject.

Wen Xinya was even warier of Duke Moville. His excessive expression of apology and his sincerity made her feel extremely uneasy.

Tension filled the air in the room and the temperature became warmer.

Wen Xinya knew that these were tactics that powerful figures often pulled before a negotiation. They would first create an amicable mood and, once the ambiance was right, the other party would give the proposed terms some consideration regardless of the situation. The consideration given would then be the key deciding factor of their victory.

It was apparent that Duke Moville had an ulterior motive for presenting her with such an expensive gift. Hence, she had to deal with whatever happened next. She knew that Duke Moville was trying to curry Si Yiyan’s favor, and the fact that he had offered such a generous gift made her keep her guard up.

However, he had yet to leak any clues of his hidden agenda.

Just like she expected, Duke Moville laughed and said, “I heard that Rex cooperated with several nations in Yun Chuan to raise a ban on drugs. I didn’t expect you to have that bravery and drive, Rex.”

Si Yiyan had an influential power and authority in Yun Chuan, and he was in control of the largest underground black market in the region. It was a land full of money trees, and everyone knew that drugs and firearms were the most lucrative industries in the world. Yet, Si Yiyan turned down the opportunity to earn money by announcing the ban. What is Rex trying to do? Duke Moville wondered.

Si Yiyan smiled calmly and said, “Bella doesn’t like the idea of me doing business involving drugs.”

He had indeed never touched the drugs industry and his abstinence also had something to do with Wen Xinya. He had also planned the ban for a long time.
