"I've heard—" Brian began, recalling what Xiaolian had just mentioned. While writing on a blank piece of paper, he said, "I've heard that you, Mrs. Xiao, have an incredibly valuable painting that you want entrusted to our auction house. Did you bring the painting's information?"
Gu Nuan nodded, "I brought it."
Zang Xiaolian, at her signal, opened the briefcase he carried and took out a document for them to see.
Brian took the document from their hands, and after carefully flipping through a few pages, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "What's this?"
"Aren't you preparing to auction a similar painting?" Gu Nuan asked.
"How did Mrs. Xiao know?"
"The owner of the painting you're auctioning has the surname Xiao. What do you think my relation to her might be?"
