The counterfeit was so well-made that it almost fooled him.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After fooling so many buyers over the years, their counterfeiting skills have reached a level of perfection.
But even with the most exquisite craftsmanship, the rare deep blue lapis lazuli in the very center is not so easily replaced.
Vice President Liu was fortunate enough to see the original artifact once when he was still young and had just graduated from archaeology.
One glance was enough to make it unforgettable.
The necklace is precious because it is the only piece of jewelry that can be definitively identified as belonging to Princess Mingyi; no other artifacts of this princess have been found to date.
Even archaeologists, who have been trying to reconstruct the story of Princess Mingyi and the Regent from thousands of years ago, have been unable to do so.
It can only be seen from fragments of historical documents that the ruthless regent adored the princess.
He was buried with her after his death.
He had no concubines and no children throughout his life.
Vice President Liu came to his senses and looked at the others present, especially the young lady from the Ye family, "This is indeed a counterfeit. If you don't believe me, you can find an expert to take a closer look."
Ye Lan's eyes widened in disbelief; she even suspected that Jiang Yue had bribed Vice Dean Liu.
"Impossible... How could this be..." In her panic, Ye Lan could only utter these few words over and over again, "My grandfather spent hundreds of millions to buy it back then, it can't be fake!"
Vice President Liu knew that nothing he said now would make a difference.
She needs to gradually accept reality on her own.
The turn of events was unexpected for everyone. Like Ye Lan, they were all stunned by this sudden turn of events.
It's fake?
Did Jiang Yue's nonsense actually come true?
Is her mouth blessed?!
It's so effective.
Or did she tamper with things beforehand, which is why she was so confident just now?
But Jiang Yue doesn't have such a sharp mind; all she knows how to do is curse people as bitches and slap them, pull their hair, and she can't compete in high-level situations.
After thinking it over, the only explanation is that Jiang Yue had a stroke of good luck today, and she just happened to run into this by sheer chance.
However, they did briefly look at Jiang Yue with new respect.
Jiang Yue looked at Ye Lan, whose face was pale, tilted her head slightly and smiled at her: "Can you get out of here now?"
Ye Lan's face turned pale and then red, and her chest heaved violently, as if she was about to vomit blood from anger.
Seeing that she couldn't speak, Jiang Yue's smile became even less aggressive, and she blinked: "Or are you going to kowtow and apologize to me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan's blood pressure spiked, her vision went black, and she fainted from anger.
The staff hurriedly helped the person to the sofa, calling for help and urging others to call 120 (the emergency number).
With this commotion, today's program definitely can't be recorded.
The production team was forced to issue a statement announcing that the recording would be postponed until next Saturday.
Rumors had been circulating online for some time, and now it's even more certain that Jiang Yue was removed from the list for causing trouble.
However, out of consideration for her feelings, the production team did not announce that she had been kicked off the show.
The comments section was as exciting as ever:
"She really made me cry my eyes out."
"Why not just find any host to fill in? Postponing it is such a hassle."
"Please be sure to release the video of Jiang Yue crying and apologizing to Ye Lan backstage. I'm willing to become a VIP member."
"I want to see the extended apology video, the plus version!!!"
"The person upstairs is overthinking it. We'd be happy with a mini version. Hopefully, some unscrupulous staff behind the scenes will secretly release some short videos to satisfy us! Thanks in advance!"
Amidst the screen full of comments requesting the video to be released, occasionally a few voices would say, "Listen to me, it's not like that."
Unfortunately, they were all ignored without exception.
Insiders with inside information are practically bursting with pent-up frustration.
They're so willing to gossip with those unscrupulous netizens! Give them a chance! Right now I'm covering my ears, I'm not listening, I'm not listening! Damn it! They're really suffocating.
The happiest person about the postponement of the show's recording was Jiang Yue.
This means she doesn't have to go to work today.
The family driver waits outside the TV station all day long; today he was driving that Bentley worth over 30 million yuan again.
Jiang Yue got into the car and, feeling bored, tried posting a selfie on Weibo.
At first glance, it's so beautiful it takes your breath away; the visual impact of the beauty on the screen is simply off the charts.
You can criticize her as you will, but you can't deny her beauty.
Among top female celebrities, there isn't a single one more beautiful than her. Her skin is fair, her eyes are large, her eyelashes fall gently, and her bright and exquisite appearance makes her hard to miss even in a crowd.
Some people were drooling over the screen, exclaiming how beautiful it was.
Some people angrily questioned, "You've lost your job again, how can you still be in the mood to post selfies?"
Some people are even asking her to change her profile. It has to be said that every time we see her profile, it's an insult to us netizens.
Some even deliberately made sarcastic remarks about whether her head was swollen from hitting it and how long the photos had been photoshopped.
Jiang Yue ignored it; she rarely read comments anyway.
I got home just past noon.
Today is Saturday, so the children don't have to go to school.
As usual, the private tutor would come to the villa to give lessons, and Jiang Yue saw that beautiful and gentle piano teacher at home again.
That is, the female protagonist in this book.
Jiang Yue still didn't take this person seriously, nor did she care that Zhou Ji would fall in love with her a few months later.
After Zhao Shuyan finished her class, the driver took her home.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but glance back at the living room a couple more times, but she didn't see the man.
When she came over this morning, she heard the maid say that the master was working in his study.
But she didn't run into him even once during that half day.
Zhao Shuyan left the villa with a sense of inexplicable reluctance.
*
Jiang Yue was already hungry.
The housekeeper has already prepared lunch.
Just as Jiang Yue was sitting at the dining table, about to pick up her chopsticks, the man from the study came downstairs.
She looked up and met the man's indifferent and handsome face.
Even in loose loungewear, her presence is still imposing.
Jiang Yue was surprised to find him still at home. To be honest, she sometimes felt a sense of pressure from his cold face and dark eyes.
Zhou Ji sat down in front of her and said coldly, "Weren't you recording a show?"
He raised his hand and pretended to glance at his watch, then wiped his lips: "You're back at this hour? Did you ruin it again?"
Jiang Yue felt unhappy whenever she saw him, and she also found his words unpleasant to hear.
She coldly put down her cutlery, said nothing, and just stared at him with a particularly unhappy expression.
Hopefully, he can read the room and will shut up on his own, or get out of here.
Jiang Yue thought that her cold demeanor could intimidate people, but in Zhou Ji's eyes, she was actually very cute.
She was so beautiful; stripped of her sharp and mean-spirited nature, she was incredibly gentle and charming.
Her skin was a pale, delicate white that was opaque; her eyes were large with jet-black pupils; and her long, thick, curled eyelashes would tremble when she was anxious.
She was looking at him with those black, pearl-like eyes.
He clearly lacked confidence, yet he still tried to appear fierce.
When Zhou Ji met her dark, clear eyes, he felt as if his heart had been brushed by her eyelashes, and he trembled slightly uncontrollably.
