He saw that she was still not anxious or panicked being looked at by everyone’s speculative gazes . She didn’t want to clarify or explain anything . She just stood there indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with her .
He looked at her expression and didn’t explain that Yang Zimei was a Little Master . Even if he said it, no one would believe it . In fact, he might bring her trouble, so he didn’t say anything .
Yang Dejie was too lazy to take another look at her when he heard that Yang Zimei was just the daughter of that good-for-nothing Yang Qing . He thought like his son that she was some tender thing whom Huo Wenhua fancied .
Yang Zimei didn’t want to look at someone whom she hated so she turned towards Song Xuan .
Song Xuan was admiring a piece of hook cloud jade pendant from Warring States period . It was white jade and engraved with the Warring States period insignia . It was very delicate . Judging from Song Xuan’s appearance, he seemed to be very fond of it .
However, Yang Zimei didn’t notice any antique aura from this hook cloud jade pendant and sensed only a faint jade aura .
This was obviously a modern fake piece marked with the Warring States period’s insignia .
“Mr . Song, you like this?” Yang Zimei asked .
Song Xuan nodded . “This hook cloud jade pendant is the masterpiece of the famous jade craftsman Duo Lin from the Warring States period . I already have a few of his works in my hand . I really like it and want to complete a set . ”
“Mr . Song, what if it’s fake?” Yang Zimei reminded . Song Xuan was slightly startled . Then he gently smiled . “All the exhibits that can enter the auction are genuine and identified by authorized appraisers . No one will dare to fake one . ”
“What if even the appraisers can’t detect it?”
“……”
Song Xuan was speechless . Indeed, there was no one in this world with eyes who could accurately identify the authenticity of everything . It wasn’t like there wasn’t counterfeiting technology that made items seem real .
But he was very familiar with Duo Lin’s work . This pendant gave him the same feeling . How could it be a fake?
But subconsciously, he believed in Yang Zimei . He believed that she had a perverted pair of eyes that could identity antiques . He had thought that she was special when she was five years old with that twisting circlet . ……
The auction was about to start . The people who came for the auction took seats along to their numbers .
Huo Wenhua’s seat was in the middle with the best line of sight . On his right sat Yang Dejie, his son, and his followers . To his left sat Huo Wenhua’s secretary and Murong Yunqing .
Song Xuan and Yang Zimei sat in the second row and coincidentally behind them .
The auction started . The first item was Han Dynasty’s Hetian ornaments . It started at $150,000 . Murong Yunqing bought it for $500,000 . He planned to give it to his grandmother for her birthday . The second was Yang Zimei’s Northern Song Dynasty’s twin fish plate . The starting price was $200,000 .
Huo Wenhua seemed to really like this twin fish plate . He called out $500,000 in one swoop, which startled everyone . They followed along in bidding . Finally, Huo Wenhua won it with $850,000 .
Yang Zimei smiled until her eyes curved . She had spent $15 on it . She definitely earned that back .
Perhaps he listened to Yang Zimei because Song Xuan eventually did not bid on that hook cloud jade pendant . Of course, another reason was because the Municipal Committee Secretary started the bidding .
Therefore, Yang Dejie only spent $200,000 to take home the Warring States period’s hook cloud jade pendant . However, it was a fake!
