The moment the security guards rushed in, Grandpa Zhong, who had been sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up and his words stunned everyone.
"Mr. Zhong, what advice do you have? Do you also believe that the seams of the jade Guanyin were glued with silicone sealant?"
Ye Tian had never had a good impression of Elder Zhong, so he was too lazy to be polite now.
"Indeed, Mr. Hu Yuan's viewpoint coincides with mine, and I also think we should break open this jade Guanyin to verify it."
To everyone's surprise, Grandpa Zhong actually said that.
"Hmph, Elder Zhong, considering your advanced age, I can let it go, and the Ye family will not make things difficult for you. But are you really going to ruin your reputation for most of your life for this brat Hu Yuan?"
Ye Tian was also very good at talking, and he directly made Zhong Lao sound like he was talking nonsense.
"Whether I can maintain my integrity in my later years depends on whether your jade Guanyin is real or fake. If you don't dare to break it open, why are you making such a show of force here?"
Old Zhong stepped forward, his expression turning extremely grim.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense.
It should be understood that neither Grandpa Zhong nor the Ye family are ordinary people. If they really fight, all the guys present will be affected. If they choose the wrong side, they may end up being buried with the losing side.
Ye Tian was stunned to see that Old Master Zhong was so determined.
He really couldn't understand why Old Master Zhong would go to such lengths to oppose the Ye family just because of Hu Yuan.
This situation was beyond Ye Tian's ability to handle, so he had no choice but to hurry upstairs to find his grandfather.
However, as soon as Ye Tian turned around, he saw Ye Guanghou walking downstairs quickly.
"Master...Master." Ye Tian quickly reached out to help Ye Guanghou up.
However, Ye Guanghou acted as if he didn't see his grandson Ye Tian at all, and walked straight past him, walking up to Elder Zhong with a big smile on his face.
"Old Zhong, it's been so long since we last met! What are you doing downstairs? Come on, let's go upstairs and catch up."
"Haha, you old codger, now you're getting anxious? Too late."
Old Zhong laughed triumphantly, showing no respect for Ye Guanghou whatsoever.
Seeing Ye Guanghou's expression, he knew that Hu Yuan was right again.
"Old Zhong, you..."
Ye Guanghou's expression changed slightly.
"You don't need to say anything, I'll help you knock it open and take a look."
Grandpa Zhong usually walks with a limp, but at this moment he suddenly became very brisk, his steps were incredibly light.
"Stop! This is my masterpiece."
Ye Guanghou immediately panicked, disregarding his pride, and admitted it in front of everyone.
Those who were initially waiting to watch the spectacle are now speechless.
No one dared to say a word, for fear of angering Ye Guanghou.
"Alright then, since you don't care about saving face, I'll give you face and not smash it."
After finishing his sentence, Grandpa Zhong put down the jade Guanyin he was holding and went upstairs.
Ye Guanghou turned stiffly and went upstairs with a grim expression.
Both big shots left, leaving the others standing there bewildered.
"snort."
Ye Tian snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Oh, does the second young master of the Ye family really go back on his word?"
How could Hu Yuan let this guy get away so easily?
"What...do you want?"
Ye Tian pointed at Hu Yuan, his finger trembling with anger.
"I don't want anything, I just want Young Master Ye to keep what he said earlier."
Hu Yuan wore a smug smile.
"Someone, give him 500,000 and tell him to get lost!"
Ye Tian roared.
"Is it just 500,000 yuan? What else? And why should I leave? Is this treasure appraisal event over already?"
Hu Yuan began to become aggressive.
Since Ye Tian was determined to harm him, he would not hesitate to do so.
"Didn't you hear what my grandfather just said? This jade Guanyin is his treasure. Even Grandpa Zhong wouldn't dare to smash it. Do you dare?"
Ye Tian's eyes were almost bloodshot.
"I wouldn't dare, but you would."
Hu Yuan continued.
"you…"
Ye Tian couldn't contain his anger, but he had indeed said in front of so many people that if the jade Guanyin was a fake, he would smash it himself.
Now that it has been proven that the Jade Guanyin is fake, and that it was actually made by his own grandfather, Ye Tian has lost face.
Unexpectedly, Hu Yuan insisted on smashing it himself, which Ye Tian could not tolerate.
But what can I do if I can't bear to? Should I really smash it?
He had just witnessed how much his grandfather cared about the jade Guanyin statue; in order to protect it, he had even bowed his head to Elder Zhong.
If he really smashes it, will the Ye family still have a place for him from now on?
"Actually, Young Master Ye, there's no need to worry. The quality of silicone sealant these days is much better than it was ten years ago. You can just break it and then stick it back on, right?"
Hu Yuan didn't give Ye Tian any chance and continued to provoke him.
"Guards, arrest him!"
Ye Tian could no longer contain himself and, in a fit of rage, ordered his men to come in and arrest Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan's face lit up with a smile; he wasn't afraid at all.
Now that things have developed to this point, it's all Ye Tian's fault; his actions will only lead to further mistakes.
If I were to actually be beaten today, Ye Tian would completely ruin the Ye family's reputation.
"Stop! Aren't you ashamed enough already?!"
Sure enough, Grandpa Ye went to the second-floor balcony again and stopped Ye Tian's behavior.
Ye Tian clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and waved for the security guards to leave.
"Young man, please come upstairs for some tea."
Ye Guanghou naturally hated Hu Yuan, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he had to be polite to Hu Yuan.
On the one hand, I didn't want the matter to escalate any further, and on the other hand, I wanted to appear more magnanimous.
This way, they can at least save face a little.
"I thank Elder Ye for his kindness."
Hu Yuan immediately went upstairs.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and make some tea, then personally pour some tea for your young brother and apologize."
Then, Ye Guanghou yelled at Ye Tian again.
Ye Tian clenched his fists even tighter, almost grinding his teeth to powder, but he had no choice but to do as his grandfather arranged.
After going upstairs, Ye Guanghou immediately invited Hu Yuan to sit down, treating Hu Yuan with great courtesy.
Ye Tian quickly brought over the tea, bowed to Hu Yuan to apologize, and poured the tea with both hands.
Hu Yuan could tell that this guy was now truly determined to fight him to the death.
If he has the chance in the future, he will probably be reduced to ashes.
"Mr. Ye, I apologize for my presumptuousness today."
Hu Yuan deliberately put on a show of politeness with Ye Guanghou in front of Ye Tian.
