Grandma Li glared at Su Huiyue fiercely, then looked at Ning Yichu, "Chuchu, you say this is a fake, do you have any evidence?"
"Grandma, ancient blue and white porcelain had a lot of impurities in its body, and because of the limited conditions for pulverization, you can see a lot of pores, which appear as small iron-brown dots. Finally, after the aging process, the finished product looks very delicate. But now the technology is more advanced, and the finished product is almost free of pores. It also doesn't go through aging, which makes it very dry and lacks plasticity..."
Li Lingyang and Grandma Li both had some knowledge of antiques, so they naturally knew that what Ning Yichu said was true.
Grandma Li pondered for a moment and asked someone to bring the broken porcelain pieces for inspection.
Chen Jiangqing's heart tightened, and she complained tearfully, "Ms. Ning, do you think you know more about antiques than the experts? I spent over five million to buy this blue and white porcelain from a Zurich auction house! I have all the invoices and documents, and it's been inspected by experts. If this is a fake, then what is the real thing?"
Once all the materials were provided, everyone's original thinking that this was a fake immediately reversed.
Yes, experts have proven that this is true. Can Ning Yichu be more powerful than the experts?
Ning Yichu also frowned. She didn't know what would go wrong, but she believed in her own judgment.
"Anything made by humans is susceptible to counterfeiting, especially after shipping it all the way from Zurich. Who knows if the transport company might be tempted by the money?"
After all, we often heard news about courier companies stealing from their employees and pretending to lose valuables, and then simply paying a few hundred yuan in compensation.
Those so-called valuables are only worth a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars, but some people take risks to buy them. What about antiques worth more than five million dollars?
But Shen Jiangqing didn't believe it. She felt that Ning Yichu was just making trouble and trying to escape the blame!
She looked at Li Lingyang aggrievedly, hoping that Li Lingyang would make the decision for her.
Li Lingyang said directly, "Since you both insist on your own opinions, let's invite an expert to authenticate it. Mr. Cheng Yuanzhong has been a lifelong enthusiast of blue and white porcelain and is also the vice president of the Porcelain Association. With his experience, he should be able to tell whether it's genuine or not."
Cheng Yuanzhong and Grandma Li were friends, and they also asked their grandson to come over to celebrate her birthday today.
Grandma Li said in frustration, "How could I have forgotten about him? Okay, let's invite him over."
Shen Jiangqing also believed that he had made the right purchase and said in a deep voice, "I respect your decision. This will also convince Miss Ning."
"What if it's fake?" Ning Yichu asked back.
Shen Jiangqing never considered that this might be a lie, and said directly, "We'll do whatever you say."
"Okay, just don't default on your debt."
Li Lingyang's deep eyes flashed across Ning Yichu's face. She was confident and calm, and extremely frank. She didn't worry about the upcoming verification at all. The light fell, as if she had been coated with a faint halo.
Not long after, the people sent by Li Lingyang brought back the old man of the Cheng family.
Li Lingyang got straight to the point. "Mr. Cheng, I believe Mr. Cheng has already told you the purpose of asking you to come here. Now I want you to judge whether this blue and white porcelain is genuine."
Mr. Cheng, who was wearing reading glasses and was almost eighty years old, said, "Show me the fragments."
As he spoke, the servant handed over the clean broken porcelain pieces.
At first, Mr. Cheng's eyes were filled with interest and regret, but after examining it carefully, he took off his glasses and shook his head helplessly, "This is a high-end imitation, and the craftsmanship is quite ordinary. Why? I heard my grandson say it was a birthday present for Madam Li."
After the words were spoken, the whole audience was silent for two seconds. Some were disappointed, while others were enjoying the show.
Chen Jiangqing didn't believe it and came over to ask, "Mr. Cheng, take a closer look! This was bought at an auction house for over five million yuan. How could it be a fake?"
"Five million?" Old Cheng sighed repeatedly, "If you don't understand blue and white porcelain, don't bid recklessly. Not all products sold at major auction houses are authentic!"
There seemed to be quite a bit of contempt in his words.
Shen Jiangqing felt that people around her were talking about her, and she immediately panicked. She had bought it at a high price to please Grandma Li and to show that she was now very favored.
As a result... not only did she not become the focus, but Ning Yichu stepped on her and shined.
"Jiang Qing, you've done such a rude thing." Su Huiyue couldn't help but grumble, "When you received the goods, didn't you even bother to find a few more experts to authenticate them?"
It’s okay that it’s only five million today, but if I buy fifty million tomorrow, won’t I be cheated?
"Mom, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect such a big auction house to do something like this..."
"You, you, I don't know what to say!"
Shen Jiangqing was on the verge of tears when she was scolded by her. She looked at Li Lingyang hesitantly, "A Ling, believe me, I really didn't know this was fake."
"Notify the lawyer, contact the auction house and the transportation company, and recover the losses." Li Lingyang simply gave the servant instructions without blaming him too much, but also without comforting him either.
How could that indifferent look be directed at his fiancée?
Just like an ordinary friend.
In an instant, Shen Jiangqing looked even more embarrassed. Fearing that Ning Yichu would continue to pursue her and take advantage of her misfortune, she hurriedly said, "I'll make a phone call too," and quickly left the hall.
After she left, Li Jingting disappeared from the crowd without a trace.
In fact, Shen Jiangqing was really overthinking it.
Ning Yichu wouldn't be so petty.
"Grandma, I'm sorry. I seem to have messed up again." Ning Yichu said to Grandma Li awkwardly. After all, exposing that the gift someone gave her was a fake was disrespectful to her.
Grandma Li laughed out loud, "Well done!"
After laughing for a while, she whispered, "Actually, when that woman gave it to me, I didn't want it anymore, but since Ah Ling and the two kids were here, I had to give her some face. It's just right that you smashed it, it makes you feel better!"
Ning Yichu was embarrassed, "I really didn't break it on purpose, someone bumped into me."
"Li Jingting?"
"He probably didn't mean it."
Grandma Li pondered for a moment, feeling both sympathy and disgust for her little grandson. In the end, she could only say, "It's all his father's fault when he was young. To be honest, he has been wronged over the years."
"Okay, grandma, today is your birthday, let's not talk about these unhappy things..."
At this time, Aunt Tong came over with a smile on her face. Seeing the smile on the old lady's face, she joked, "Miss Ning, it's good that you're here. I haven't seen the old lady in such a good mood in a long time."
"Today is grandma's birthday, and so many people are celebrating with her. How can I say it's all my credit?"
Aunt Tong covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, then reminded Grandma Li, "The family doctor is here, it's time to measure your blood pressure and take your medicine."
Grandma Li is old, so she has a family doctor come for a physical checkup every morning and evening.
Ning Yichu watched Grandma Li go upstairs.
Grandma Li asked Ning Yichu to play with Doudou and Ningning.
