Chapter 1699: What’s fake is fake
Yuan Jiawei's daughter also pretended to cry: "Grandpa, I bought this Hetian Jade Go chess piece from the auction. But because of my intentions, how could a fake be sold at the auction?"
"Auction? That's weird!" Lin Ran took a breath and said calmly: "If it's from the auction house, I suggest you take it and return it now, because this is not Hetian jade at all."
Master Yuan took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Ran quietly without speaking.
Others did not dare to speak out, but started talking in low voices.
"The Hetian jade that Yuan Feng bought turned out to be fake."
"No way? His family is so rich, does he need to buy fakes?"
"What's that kid's background? I've never seen him in the Yuan family."
"He is Yuan Qianyun's boyfriend. He was also at grandma's party last time."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Although Lin Ran's words were shocking, they didn't dare to completely believe it.
If you are from a poor family, you may buy some fake goods as gifts just to save your face.
But people are so rich, they would rather spend double the price to buy genuine products, otherwise how can they live up to their reputation?
This is the head of the Yuan family!
So most people don't think Lin Ran said Hetian jade is fake, they will believe it.
Yuan Jiawei glanced at her sobbing daughter and said angrily: "You loser, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"It's just an outsider talking nonsense here! Yuan Jiahao, look what kind of boyfriend your good daughter has found?" Yuan Jiawei's man also came forward to accuse.
However, Yuan Jiawei gently pulled him and told him that it was okay to scold Lin Ran, but he must not make his elder brother angry.
Mr. Yuan also looked strange. He just accepted it as an ordinary gift and did not actually appraise it.
Of course he believed that his children would treat him well, even if it wasn't for the sake of being his father and the family business, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of him.
However, Lin Ran was standing behind when he was giving the gift just now. He might have seen something.
Now, Mr. Xu is conducting an appraisal.
Mr. Yuan didn't speak either. He wanted to hear Mr. Xu's opinion before expressing his own.
Mr. Xu also knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to draw any conclusions. He checked very seriously.
Seeing his serious expression, Yuan Jiawei glanced at her daughter and read the fact on her face that she had indeed bought it from an auction, so she was sure that Lin Ran was talking nonsense.
Yuan Jiawei made a "huh" sound, pointed at Lin Ran with her finger, her face flushed, and said in a somewhat annoyed tone: "Young man named Lin, don't think that you can talk nonsense with Qianyun backing you up!"
"Our family will lack tens of thousands of dollars to buy a fake Hetian jade for my father?"
"You are just trying to judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart! Besides, do you think I know better than you what kind of business my family is doing?"
After Yuan Jiawei made such a fuss, the people watching the excitement also reacted.
Although Yuan Jiawei does not manage all the personnel of Yuan Group's head office like Yuan Jiahao, she is responsible for the jewelry business.
As a person in the jewelry industry, I can't even tell the authenticity of Hetian jade, so it would be ridiculous to say so.
"Yes, Jia Wei is the owner of Yuanyue Jewelry. Their store specializes in selling gold, silver and jade. How is it possible that they can't even tell fake jade apart?"
"I believe Jia Wei, she is dad's favorite daughter."
"It's impossible that she can't afford tens of thousands of yuan. Isn't it just some Hetian jade? I can afford it."
"That's right, that kid looks like a poor man. He really judges a gentleman with a villain's heart. He can't afford it himself, and he thinks that what others buy is fake."
Yuan Jiawei's daughter Yuan Feng was crying at first, but when she heard that everyone was leaning towards her, she also took courage.
But he still pretended to be hurt and asked his best friend to bring the purse over.
He carefully took out a piece of paper from it and handed it to Mr. Yuan.
"Grandpa, you can take a look at this."
Mr. Yuan took a look at the document and found that it was the professional appraisal document from the auction house.
It says "128 Hetian jade Go pieces" and the appraiser is "Wang Ran".
I have never heard the name of this treasure appraisal expert, but he dared to sign the appraisal report, so he must have certain abilities.
At least it means that Yuan Feng did not deceive him and indeed bought it from the auction house.
Master Yuan looked at the document, then glanced at Lin Ran, and handed the document to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran thought she was talking nonsense at first, but when he looked at the document, he found that the text on it was extremely clear. Although he had never heard of the expert's name, it still had the seal of Qinghong Auction House on it.
Qinghong Auction House?
As a small auction house in Beijing, the name of this auction house has actually not been highly praised in the industry.
After Lin Ran checked the documents, he still insisted on his opinion and said without changing his expression: "It doesn't mean anything if there are documents, because this Hetian jade is fake."
Hearing this, Yuan Feng suddenly stood up with his face flushed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you say my Hetian jade is fake!"
She was very angry and bit back and said, "Look at the broken teapot you sent me. I think I got it from Panjiayuan for more than ten yuan."
Lin Ran did not refute, but smiled and said, "Even if I collect it for more than ten yuan, will it affect its value?"
"No matter how much you spend to buy it, it's just a fake. Let me tell you directly, it's not Hetian jade at all, but gold silk jade."
"Lin Ran!" Yuan Qianyun stopped Lin Ran from continuing, feeling that Lin Ran was getting more and more excited as he spoke.
Even if I don't like my aunt, she is a member of my family after all, and she still has to save face in front of so many people.
"You earn face by yourself. I didn't want to say it at first, but she is so blind that she can't tell the difference between good and bad." Lin Ran said mercilessly.
Hearing these words, Mr. Yuan's expression became serious.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then exhaled.
"Stop arguing. We will make a decision after Xiao Xu has identified it."
His tone was calm, but his words were full of majesty, and no one dared to talk back.
This was the courage of a general who had been on the battlefield, and Lin Ran felt it for the first time.
They stopped arguing and focused all their attention on Mr. Xu.
In fact, Mr. Xu also heard their conversation just now.
With professional paperwork, theoretically it shouldn't be a fake, otherwise the reputation of the auction house will be ruined. No owner of an auction house will do such a risky thing.
But just now, he also heard Lin Ran's words.
The Hetian jade in my hand does feel a bit weird to the touch. I didn't know which direction to consider it before.
After Lin Ran reminded him, he remembered Jin Siyu.
