He saw that she was still not anxious or panicked being looked at by everyoneâs speculative gazes . She didnât 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 didnât 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 didnât 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 didnât 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 Xuanâs appearance, he seemed to be very fond of it .
However, Yang Zimei didnât 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 periodâs insignia .
âMr . Song, you like this?â Yang Zimei asked .
Song Xuan nodded . âThis 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 . â
âMr . Song, what if itâs fake?â Yang Zimei reminded . Song Xuan was slightly startled . Then he gently smiled . âAll the exhibits that can enter the auction are genuine and identified by authorized appraisers . No one will dare to fake one . â
âWhat if even the appraisers canât detect it?â
ââŠâŠâ
Song Xuan was speechless . Indeed, there was no one in this world with eyes who could accurately identify the authenticity of everything . It wasnât like there wasnât counterfeiting technology that made items seem real .
But he was very familiar with Duo Linâs 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 . âŠâŠ
The auction was about to start . The people who came for the auction took seats along to their numbers .
Huo Wenhuaâs 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 Wenhuaâs 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 Dynastyâs 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 Zimeiâs Northern Song Dynastyâs 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 periodâs hook cloud jade pendant . However, it was a fake!
