Chapter 143 True or False
The relationship between Mr. Chen and Bai Minhua has been in a silent period in the past two days. After getting the things, Bai Minhua felt satisfied. She thought she was not a greedy person. She felt that these things were enough for her. She started to feel uneasy and wanted to go home.
Old Master Chen has been extremely disappointed these days. According to him, the Ji family should be led by Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua.
As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that these two people did not care about the affairs of the family and their say in the family was not as strong as his. The one who was in charge of the Ji family was Ji Bailin, but Ji Bailin had always been lukewarm towards the Chen family and never came unless it was necessary.
The relationship between the father and daughter became cold as one of them no longer wanted to continue the social activities and the other felt disappointed.
Chen Guochang has been busy these days. The investigation team arrived in H City yesterday. After expert appraisal, the Chenghua Doucai Fish Lotus Bowl is authentic.
This left the old curator quite puzzled.
This item was appraised personally by him and Director Qin, and it was indeed a fake. He has been dealing with antiques all his life and has handled hundreds of items, so it is impossible for him to have made a mistake in the appraisal. But now, as soon as he picked up this piece of porcelain, his heart moved. This was indeed their porcelain. What was going on?
The old curator was both happy and embarrassed.
He was delighted that the treasure was returned. He had been unable to sleep at night these days and had been feeling very guilty. The thing was lost in his hands and the old man felt sad. Now that he was holding the treasure in his hands, he was happier than anyone else.
But the case was reported with great fanfare, and the higher-ups sent a special investigation team to look into it, and it turned out that the thing was real. What's going on?
The old curator wanted to mention to others about a few other items, but he couldn't open his mouth. There was an ooze out about the most important artifact. Who would believe him if he said firmly that a few other artifacts were forgeries?
Since the thing is real, there is no way to investigate this matter further.
Chen Guochang was very proud in his heart, it seemed that there was still room for things to turn around.
Now that the matter was over and the investigation was complete, the investigation team planned to finish the surrounding work and return the same way after a week. Chen Guochang heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yuan Tingchuan found the old curator and told him that he had several cultural relics to donate in order to show his support for the H City Museum.
The old curator picked up the pictures and the list, and his eyes widened.
Are these all their things? He looked at Yuan Tingchuan with doubt.
Yuan Tingchuan didn't seem to notice the other people's strangeness, and said, "These are some cultural relics I recently acquired. They look very collectible and I think they are very suitable to be placed in our museum. It can be regarded as a homecoming."
The old curator was silent for a while, then said helplessly, "Yes, I went home."
Director Zheng, who accompanied Yuan Tingchuan, said, "I think we should hold a ceremony for this. This is a good thing. We should let everyone know about it and learn from the Yuan Group. It will also set an example for everyone. I hope Mr. Yuan will not refuse."
Yuan Tingchuan smiled: "I will cooperate."
The event was scheduled for a week later, and all major newspapers and magazines promoted the event with considerable force, but without any accompanying pictures.
Du Ruo's attention has recently been focused on the top-quality jadeite from Wu Fucai. Such colorful jadeite is a great test of the carving skills of the master. It is a gift from nature. From the layout to the carving, if you add a little bit, it will be fatter, if you subtract a little bit, it will be thinner, and it would be a sin to waste any bit.
Ji Bailin looked at his sister looking at Feicui infatuatedly, and was somewhat confused.
"Sister, do you like this? There is a gambling place next to the antique market in H City. This thing came from there."
Du Ruo looked at Ji Bailin in surprise and asked, "How do you know? Didn't Uncle Ji spend a lot of effort to get this thing? And he spent a lot of money on it?"
Ji Bailin shrugged.
"Because I sold this thing to my dad. Of course, he doesn't know."
Du Ruo almost choked on his sip of water, and the covered bowl in his hand tilted over, spilling tea all over the table.
The two of them frantically searched for towels and cleaned up everything. Du Ruo looked at Ji Bailin and asked, "What's going on? Why did he not know when I asked you to sell it to your dad?"
"My father was searching for rare treasures everywhere. The people I sent to follow him saw him almost being cheated several times, but he was still smug. I remembered that I had such a thing in my hands, so I asked someone to make a gimmick and raised the price to a very high level. Mr. Ji was satisfied and felt that the price was worthy of my mother. After I asked someone to negotiate with him several times, we finally made this deal."
He saw Du Ruo looking at him in surprise.
Ji Bailin threw up his hands: "Sister, why are you looking at me like that? I have no choice, right? I have a stall with such a pair of parents, who can I go to for justice? I don't want to argue, but I have to follow Mr. Ji to clean up the mess. I am forced to do this."
Well. It's not easy for her younger brother, everyone is just superficial.
"I've been to the gambling market you mentioned before, and it wasn't that big." Of course she had been there in her previous life.
"That place isn't very big, but there's a whole other world in the underground parking lot. It's like a small city with everything. You know?"
Du Ruo really didn't know that there was such a gray area in H City. However, she was relatively simple in her previous life and had never come into contact with such things.
Ji Bailin leaned forward and said, "How about it, sister? I'll take you to see it."
Du Ruo glanced at the time and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Let's go tomorrow. It's already so late today. Let's go early tomorrow morning."
She has no resistance to the finest jadeite.
Ji Bailin was speechless.
"They just opened at this hour. Who would care about you if you go there so early in the morning? Do you think you are going to the morning market to buy vegetables?"
"Xiao Linzi is right. Let's go, let's go and take a look now."
Du Ruo raised her head and saw Ling Yun leaning against the door frame with an interested look on his face.
Ling Yun pulled Ji Bailin and said, "Xiao Linzi, how did you find that place? I didn't even find it?" Ling Yun loved to go to these messy places, but he really didn't know this place.
"That place is special. You need connections to be accepted. Most people don't know that."
Ling Yun was not happy to hear this. Is he an ordinary person?
Seeing Ling Yun's disapproving expression, Ji Bailin smiled and said, "I know a big brother, you know? He introduced me to him, and I just went with him for a casual walk, only that one time, but I can take you two with me."
"Then hurry up? Ruoruo, hurry up? We'll wait for you downstairs." Ling Yunla Jibailin walked downstairs, not forgetting to turn around and call Du Ruo "Hurry up."
