362: Chapter 362: This is the Fake 362: Chapter 362: This is the Fake Jia Dong’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Xiao Yifei, waves of an oppressive aura bearing down upon him.
Xiao Yifei let out a soft chuckle, completely unaffected by Jia Dong’s deanor.
His face bore a look of nonchalance as he addressed Jia Dong coolly, “Professor Jia, I admit that I am a novice, perhaps not even qualified to be considered as one, for I have never before seen antiques of such value.
But don’t you think it’s a bit excessive not to allow to speak?”
Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Cao Heming was shocked, for he could definitively tell from Xiao Yifei’s statent that he was not an expert in artifact appraisal.
If that were the case, and Xiao Yifei could still speak so confidently, it must an Tan Zhenting also knew this fact.
Despite Xiao Yifei not being an appraisal expert and yet still being treated with such respect by Tan Zhenting, it indicated that Xiao Yifei must be extraordinary in so other aspect that he was unaware of.
Cao Heming’s gaze remained tightly fixed on Xiao Yifei.
Jia Dong, after hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, let out a hearty laugh that reverberated thrice, his voice filled with contempt and mockery for Xiao Yifei, “You little brat who’s still wet behind the ears, even you recognize that you’re not even a novice.
Yet you have the audacity to point fingers and offer opinions here.
Don’t you find it embarrassing?”
Jia Dong squinted at Xiao Yifei, his gaze dripping with disdain as he let out a cold snort.
“I must be out of my mind to have stooped to bicker with a nobody like you.”
Having said that, Jia Dong turned around, stroked his long beard, and loudly addressed Tan Zhenting, “Family Head Tan, such an incompetent youth does not bother .
I’ll overlook his disrespect.
However, we still need to deal with the matter at hand.
After all, I have been entrusted by the client to identify your Yuan blue and white porcelain bottle as a fake.
We must give them an explanation!”
Jia Dong, looking like an immortal descended from heaven, gazed at Tan Zhenting, whose brows were tightly furrowed, encompassed by difficulty.
“Hmph, Family Head Tan, weren’t you just steadfast in your belief that the item you auctioned was authentic?
Now that the truth is before you, you surely have no further excuses to offer,” Cao Heming stated upon seeing Tan Zhenting’s troubled expression and sensing that the situation was now settled.
And just then, the voice that Jia Dong found utterly detestable rang out once more.
This ti, his tone was calm yet still filled with arrogance.
“Professor Jia, although I’m a novice, I believe that I am better than you.”
With a faint smile playing on his lips, Xiao Yifei said casually, his gaze lingering on Jia Dong and Cao Heming as he shook the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, “This, is the fake one!”
Xiao Yifei’s sudden declaration caused a sudden hush to fall over the room.
Nearly everyone’s gaze shifted to Xiao Yifei, the man who had just made a bold statent, unsure of his intentions and surprised by his remarkable claim.
“What’s the situation, what does Mr.
Xiao intend to do?”
After turning his attention to Xiao Yifei, Tan Zhenting was filled with confusion.
Although he was puzzled by Cao Heming and Jia Dong’s aggressive visit to his family today, and the odd timing of Cao Heming’s choice to co, Tan Zhenting still harbored doubts.
But just now, he had inspected both bottles as well, and indeed, his own Yuan blue and white porcelain seed more like a fake compared to the other one.
Thus, Tan Zhenting had already resolved to accept the outco, as he saw no flaws in Cao Heming’s argunt.
However, it was right at this mont that Xiao Yifei suddenly spoke up, his words sounding like playful banter to him.
This caused an aftershock of surprise in Tan Zhenting, leaving him with nothing but doubts.
Tan Yunjing was also wide-eyed, staring at Xiao Yifei, clueless about what he was trying to do.
Hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, the most exaggerated reactions ca from Jia Dong and Cao Heming.
Cao Heming’s eyes widened as he looked at Xiao Yifei as if he were looking at a fool, wondering what courage Xiao Yifei had to speak these words at this ti.
The Yuan blue-and-white vase, which not only he and Jia Dong had examined and found no issues with but even Tan Zhenting had just admitted was a counterfeit, was now being boldly claid as genuine by Xiao Yifei.
“What did you say?
Say that to again?”
After hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Jia Dong suddenly turned around, his large eyes filled with disbelief, as if he couldn’t dare to believe that Xiao Yifei had the audacity to say such a thing.
“Didn’t you hear ?
I said that this vase is the counterfeit.”
Xiao Yifei narrowed his eyes and spoke indifferently, shaking the Yuan blue-and-white vase in his hand.
This vase, known as “Guiguzi Down the Mountain” and believed to be authentic by everyone including Tan Zhenting, was the sa one brought by Cao Heming.
“You little bastard, who gave you the gall to spout nonsense here!”
Jia Dong looked at Xiao Yifei with a fierce expression, his voice filled with malice, as if just because Xiao Yifei uttered those words, he wanted to tear Xiao Yifei apart.
How could soone dare to challenge his authority!
“You, a man who hasn’t even entered the threshold of antiques, what right do you have to shout around here?
Who gave you the right to make a fuss?”
Jia Dong’s eyes flared with intensity as he stared fixedly at Xiao Yifei, his previously sage-like deanor completely gone.
Xiao Yifei, unfazed by Jia Dong’s intimidating appearance, casually shrugged and replied, “I’m just speaking the truth.”
Seeing Xiao Yifei’s nonchalant deanor, Jia Dong’s anger surged, unable to tolerate Xiao Yifei’s defiance of his authority.
“Oh, you really think you’re capable, huh?
As a novice, you think you’re better than , don’t you?
Then let ask you!”
Jia Dong’s voice was icy as he stared at Xiao Yifei and demanded, “How many types of glaze does Yuan blue-and-white have in sequence?”
Xiao Yifei was taken aback by Jia Dong’s question and replied solemnly, “I don’t know.”
Xiao Yifei spoke confidently as if it were only natural.
As soone not even considered a novice, he simply did not know about this.
When Jia Dong heard Xiao Yifei’s answer, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes, and with a sneer, he asked again, “Then tell , how many overall color tones are there for Yuan blue-and-white porcelain!”
Xiao Yifei lifted his head and shook it, saying again, “I don’t know.”
Jia Dong, infuriated by Xiao Yifei’s responses, his eyes flashing with rage, slamd his hand on the table and shouted at Xiao Yifei, “You don’t even know these basic things about Yuan blue-and-white, and you say you’re better than , daring to make such bold judgnts!
You little scoundrel, do you not know how to write the word ‘death’!”
Xiao Yifei, observing Jia Dong’s outburst, smiled faintly and shook his head.
Then, with a casual flip, he tossed the Yuan blue-and-white vase brought by Cao Heming into the air and caught it gracefully, standing nonchalantly in front of Jia Dong as if performing a juggling act.
“Although I don’t understand any of those things, I still know that if sothing is a counterfeit, it’s a counterfeit!
It can never be authentic!
And when it cos to judging this, I do have so confidence!”
