Sister Wang rolled her eyes and let Grandpa Ma do whatever he wanted. Anyway, the old man had nothing to do at home. She had come to terms with many things and decided not to reject Grandpa Ma's advances anymore.

Her illness can strike at any time; nobody knows how many years she has left. She should enjoy life while she's alive, spend money when she needs to, and have fun when she wants to. Otherwise, when she dies, it's all for nothing.

"Qingqing, did you ask about that cup? How did it go?" Sister Wang didn't care about Grandpa Ma.

Ye Qingqing nodded and said to Aunt Lu, "Please take the rice bowl to Ruyi Restaurant at the door. I've already paid."

"Why."

Aunt Lu packed the bowls and chopsticks into a food box and left. She said she would go for a walk in the garden later. There were some things she couldn't listen to; she knew the rules.

Grandpa Ma also wanted to leave, but Sister Wang stopped him, giving him a reproachful look, "Why are you leaving? Sit down and give me some advice."

"Oh... okay..."

Grandpa Ma was taken aback at first, then overjoyed, his face flushed red, and his gaze towards Sister Wang became much more ardent. The room was filled with even more pink bubbles, and Ye Qingqing rubbed her arms, feeling like she couldn't take it anymore.

She took the box out of her bag. "One is real, one is fake. The one that isn't broken is a high-quality fake, and the one with cracks is the real thing."

Sister Wang was disappointed. "Sigh, it seems worthless. Did the experts say how much it could sell for? A few hundred yuan?"

Even a few hundred yuan would be good, Sister Wang had given up hope.

Ye Qingqing chuckled and pointed to the high-quality replica cup, saying, "This is a high-quality replica from the Qing Dynasty. It's considered an antique and could be worth around 100,000 yuan. However, the market isn't very good right now. My grandfather said it could only sell for 60,000 or 70,000 yuan at most."

She added, "My grandfather is an expert in this field. I asked him to do the appraisal. He also consulted another expert, so there's no doubt about it."

Sister Wang blinked. The surprise came so suddenly, like a tornado, that she couldn't react for a moment. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

"Old Ma, go and stand guard at the door, make sure no one hears us," Sister Wang instructed.

Grandpa Ma hurriedly got up and opened the door a crack. He looked around warily, which amused Ye Qingqing. This couple was really funny. If they knew the price of the real thing, they would be so excited.

She suddenly worried whether Sister Wang's frail heart could withstand such ecstasy.

"Is it really worth 60,000 or 70,000?" Sister Wang still couldn't believe it. If a fake one could be worth so much, the real one must be worth even more.

Ye Qingqing nodded, "That's about the price. If you're willing to sell, my grandfather said he'll find you a buyer."

"I'll sell it, I'll definitely sell it. I'd sell it for 50,000." Sister Wang nodded vigorously, as if the money was free. She then pointed to the genuine item and asked, "Then how many tens of thousands is this broken one worth?"

Ye Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then took out a gold needle from her bag and lit an alcohol lamp. Sister Wang looked at her strangely and asked what she was doing. Ye Qingqing explained, "I'm afraid something might happen to you, so I'm making preparations in advance, just in case."

"Go on, I can't possibly afford tens of thousands of yuan. Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me. I'm sure I'll be fine," Sister Wang urged, her heart itching with curiosity.

After finishing her preparations, Ye Qingqing slowly and deliberately said, "Last year in Hong Kong, a cup exactly the same as this one, but not broken, was auctioned for over 22 million Hong Kong dollars..."

Sister Wang's eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted. Her breathing became rapid. Ye Qingqing calmly inserted an acupuncture needle; she knew this would happen.

As her breathing gradually calmed down, Sister Wang excitedly counted on her fingers, but after a long time she still couldn't count them all. Ye Qingqing coldly poured cold water on her, "Listen carefully, the one I'm talking about is intact. Yours has broken Dao patterns, so it's definitely not worth this much."
