With these words, everyone in the hall immediately turned their attention to she who had walked out from behind Selena. She held a painting that had not been wrapped in a gift box.
Looking at the undecorated painting, everyone suddenly understood why Selena had said that her gift was not suitable to be presented in public. It turned out that she had the same gift as Vivian's.
Vivian's gaze fell on the shabby painting in Leia's hands, suppressing a sneer and pretending to suddenly realize something. "So Miss Turner's gift for Master Antonio is also a painting."
"Given the background of the Turner family, the painting that Miss Turner presents must be even more precious than Master Ko's painting. And on the bamboo, the only one who can compare with Master Ko is Master Zheng."
"If we could see a real work by Master Zheng today, it would be a great honor."
Vivian's words were like putting Selena on the spot.
Everyone knew that when it came to the Bamboo Leaf painting, Mater Ko's real work was already rare in the world. Selena was in a rush and would not be able to find a second real work that could compare with Master Ko, let alone Master Zheng.
So her birthday gift was definitely not as good as Vivian's, not to mention the fact that it was presented after Vivian's.
The future daughter-in-law had sent a birthday gift to the old man for the first time, but she was crushed by an outsider. Wasn't this disrespecting the old man?
For a moment, the expressions of the people looking at the painting in Leia's hands were full of mockery, curiosity, and concern... It was extremely lively.
Selena glanced at Vivian with a flat gaze, but it was unclear what she was thinking.
Master Antonio thought to himself that this painting should have been prepared by Osvaldo for Selena. Although his grandson was a bit unfilial, he would surely present good things.
Therefore, he did not intervene.
Under everyone's gaze, Leia walked up to Master Antonio and unfolded the painting in her hands. When the contents of the painting were revealed, the noisy atmosphere suddenly froze.
The painting was large, with many blank spaces, and only a few distant scenes were depicted. At first glance, it seemed a bit empty, but upon closer inspection, the painting exuded a magnificent and grand atmosphere.
At the center of the painting, among the white snow and rocks, stands a half-cut bamboo that exudes a strong and tenacious force that can be felt even through the paper.
When the onlookers first laid their eyes on the painting, their hearts trembled uncontrollably. Although it was only a painting, everyone seemed to be able to feel the desolation and grandeur hidden within it.
Only war could stir such emotions in one's heart.
To the right of the painting, there was a line. "Every mountain is filled with loyal bones, why wrap the body in leather?"
When Antonio saw the painting for the first time, he stood up excitedly from his seat and walked up to observe it closely.
Not just him, but the elderly people at the scene who were interested in calligraphy, paintings, and antiques also walked up to the front excitedly after squeezing past the people in front of them.
One of the antique appraisal masters fixed his gaze on the painting in Leia's hands and showed a look of obsession, "Such a brushstroke, it can be said to be the epitome of perfection!"
"The demeanor and spirit within the characters... it's amazing! Too amazing!"
"It's been years since I've seen such a unique style of painting, the painter's determination and broad-mindedness are rare in the world!"
Antonio looked displeasedly at the group of old folks and said, "Don't touch it carelessly, if you break it, you won't be able to afford to pay for it!"
