Chapter 148 Affectionate Counterfeit

Bai Minhua found her son helplessly and sat in the living room of Du Ruo's house crying.

Ji Bailin and Du Ruo sat opposite her. The brother and sister looked at each other, both speechless.

Ji Bailin helplessly picked up a list and handed it to his mother.

Bai Minhua was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it in confusion, while her other hand was still wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ji Yuan gently put his arm around her shoulders, comforting her silently.

"Money is something outside of one's body. Your mother and I have never taken it seriously. You two siblings should not take it too seriously. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Feelings are the most important. He is your uncle. You should help him if you can."

Seeing that the brother and sister were silent, he sighed and looked down at his wife.

However, he noticed that Bai Minhua's hands were shaking. He reached out to take the list with confusion, but didn't see anything unusual. Ji Yuan was a person who did not care much about the present situation. He grew up in a wealthy family and never cared much about money.

Not to mention that it was a personal gift from Mr. Chen to Bai Minhua, he would not be thinking about his wife's things.

Bai Minhua asked with trembling lips, "What do you mean? Are you thinking about my things? I am your biological mother. Your uncle is in trouble and asked you two to help him. Why are you thinking about my things?"

Ji Yuan was speechless.

His mother's train of thought was always so strange. She didn't even think about it. She was also the head of the Ji family, and the entire Ji family was small. Would he lack such a little thing? She still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Was he like this in her mother's mind?

Du Ruo felt nothing in her heart; she was numbed by the blow she had suffered from her own mother.

I kindly reminded her, "Ms. Bai, I just bought the items on this list yesterday at the antique city. They are all in good condition. Experts have tested them and they are all genuine."

Bai Minhua was dumbfounded. What did her daughter mean by this? Why didn't she understand a word? She bought a box of genuine goods, but what about her own things?

Ji Bailin sighed and said, "Mom, don't you understand? My cheap uncle was imprisoned because of counterfeiting. Do you understand?"

They are the ancestors of counterfeiting. Is it abnormal to give you a box of fakes? ?

Bai Minhua's hand froze, and the silk bracelet in her hand fluttered down and landed on the ground without her even coming to her senses.

She seemed to be still in a dream, not knowing what day it was.

Ji Yuan understood a little bit, and he found it incredible.

Mr. Chen showed his deep love for his daughter and invited them all the way here. Could it be that he wanted to give his daughter a box of fake goods? That doesn't make sense.

Bai Minhua finally came to her senses and became furious.

"Have you two discussed this? Are you trying to deceive me together? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Your grandpa has been looking for me for so many years, asking people to contact me, and it was not until a few days ago that we met as father and daughter. I know you have no feelings for your grandpa, but you can't treat him like this, right?"

Ji Bailin said, "Mom, hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. Can I bring something to you to see?"

Ji Bailin pushed his sister and said, "Sister, where are your things? Bring some over to show our mother."

Du Ruo stood up and walked into the study, brought back a few things and put them directly on the tea table.

"Why don't you take a look yourself? You can ask Uncle Ji to help you check if mine is a fake."

Bai Minhua looked at the things on the table with her eyes wide open. She was familiar with these things. She had looked at them over and over again in the past two days. She looked at Ji Yuan for help, with pleading in her eyes.

Ji Yuan patted his wife's back soothingly and reached out to pick up the antique on the table.

Although he was not familiar with worldly affairs and loved nothing more than romance and love, he was born into a wealthy family and was able to recognize these things to some extent.

After a while, he frowned and said, "I can't see anything unusual."

Bai Minhua was a little panicked. She said to Ji Bailin hurriedly, "Ah Lin, please ask them to go to my room and bring my box of antiques here. Then find me some antique appraisal experts. Hurry up."

Bai Minhua is anxiously looking for an identification expert, and the village chief is receiving the investigation team.

He was just a small village official, and a small village official in a remote and poor village. Suddenly, so many serious and senior officials came, and he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Someone comforted him and said, "Don't be nervous, we are just here to check the situation. Do you have any outsiders contracting the factory here?"

The village chief stammered, "Yes, yes. Several wealthy people have been here."

“What do they mainly do?”

"At the beginning, they hired people from our village to make clay figurines and clay pots for them. They had their own masters, so they just asked people from our village to help with the rough work."

"What happened next?"

"Later, they said we couldn't make money, so they stopped us from making clay pots and didn't let us get close to the work. The villagers helped with the rough work. I don't know what they were doing."

"I heard that someone in your village has sold pottery?"

"You mean clay figurines? We have sold them before. One time, some of our villagers went to the county and saw an expert buying those clay figurines. When we told the villager about it, everyone was very happy. We knew how to make them. We had made them for that big boss before. We discussed it and decided that since we had nothing to do, we should all make clay figurines. When we sent them to the expert, he actually wanted them. But our happiness was ruined. We came back and continued making them. Unfortunately, we only made a few carts and he stopped buying them."

Investigation Team…………

The members of the investigation team looked at each other in bewilderment. This matter...

"Is there anyone in the factory now? Can you take us to have a look inside?"

"No one? I don't know what happened. They suddenly had a holiday a few days ago. The foreign masters and workers left. They suddenly disappeared. I'll take you to see it."

Everyone walked to the open space at the foot of the mountain and saw a high wall in the distance. The old village chief asked someone to open the big black iron gate, and everyone walked into the factory.

The factory is very large, with rows of bungalows arranged in an orderly manner. It doesn't look like it could have been built in a short time.

“How many years has this factory been built?”

"But it's been a while. Five or six years? Seven or eight years? That's it."

The things in the factory seemed to have been deliberately destroyed. It was in a mess, and there was no complete artifact left. From the traces of destruction, only some ceramic fragments could be seen. However, the village chief said that it was registered as a ceramic processing factory, so this was normal.

The investigation team returned empty-handed and had to start with Chen Guochang and Shi Lin.

Unfortunately, Yuan Tingchuan predicted the result correctly. Chen Guochang bit the Qu family out, and the Qu family threw Qu Xin out.
