The relationship between Mr. Chen and Bai Minhua has been silent for the past two days. After getting the things, Bai Minhua was somewhat satisfied. She thought she was not a greedy person, and she felt that these things were enough. She became a little restless and wanted to go home.
Old Master Chen has been extremely disappointed these days. According to him, the Ji family should naturally be managed by Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua.
As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that these two people did not care about the affairs and had less say in the family than himself. 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 grew cold, as one of them no longer wanted to continue socializing 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 and Lotus Bowl was confirmed to be authentic.
This made the old curator quite confused.
This item was personally appraised 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 make a mistake in the appraisal. But now, as soon as he picked up this Doucai porcelain, he felt something in his heart. This is indeed their porcelain. What's going on?
The old curator was both happy and embarrassed.
He was happy that the treasure was returned. He had been unable to sleep at night these days and had been blaming himself. 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 authorities sent an 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 that there were a few other items, but he couldn't open his mouth. Something had gone wrong with the most important artifact. If he said firmly that several other artifacts were fakes, who would believe him?
Since the thing is real, there is no way to investigate this matter further.
Chen Guochang was very proud, as it seemed that there was still room for recovery.
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 a week later. Chen Guochang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yuan Tingchuan found the old curator and told him that he had several cultural relics to donate to show his support for the H City Museum.
When the old curator picked up the pictures and the list, his eyes widened.
Are these all their things? He looked at Yuan Tingchuan with a look of surprise and doubt.
Yuan Tingchuan didn't seem to notice anyone else's annoyance and said, "These are a few artifacts I recently acquired. They look very collectible and I think they're very suitable for a home in our museum. It can be considered a homecoming."
The old curator was silent for a while, then said helplessly: "Yes, I went home."
Director Zheng, who had accompanied Yuan Tingchuan, said, "I think a ceremony should be held for this matter. This is a good thing, and everyone should know about it. We should learn from the Yuan Group and 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 publicized it. The publicity was quite strong, but there were no pictures.
Du Ruo's attention has recently been focused on the top-quality jadeite from Wufucai. Such colorful jadeite is a great test of the carving skills of the master carver. It is a gift from nature. From the layout to the carving, if you add a little bit, it will be fatter, and if you subtract a little bit, it will be thinner. It is a sin to waste even a little bit.
Ji Bailin looked at his sister who was obsessed with the jadeite and was a little confused.
"Sister, do you like this? There's a gambling stone place next to the H City Antique Market. 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 a sip of water, and the tea bowl in his hand tilted over, spilling tea all over the table.
The two of them frantically searched for towels. After they cleaned up, Du Ruo looked at Ji Bailin and asked, "What's going on? What do you mean you sold it to your dad and he doesn't know?"
"My dad was searching for rare treasures all over the place back then, and the people I sent to follow him saw him almost get scammed several times, and he was still smug about it. I remembered I had this thing, so I had someone create a gimmick and drive up the price to an extremely high level. Mr. Ji was satisfied and felt that the price was worthy of my mom. After several rounds of negotiations with him, I finally made the deal."
He saw Du Ruo looking at him in surprise.
Ji Bailin spread his hands and said, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that? I have no other choice. I have such a pair of parents, who can I turn to for justice? If I don't want to do anything, I have to follow Mr. Ji to clean up the mess. I am forced to do this."
Well. It's not easy for her stepbrother either, everyone is just superficial.
"I've been to the gambling stone market you mentioned before. It wasn't very big." Of course she had been there in her previous life.
"That place isn't 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 been exposed to 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 so late today, let's go early tomorrow morning."
She has no resistance to top-quality jadeite.
Ji Bailin was speechless.
"They just opened their business this early in the morning. Who would care about you? Do you think you're 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 looked up and saw Ling Yun leaning against the door frame with a look of interest 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 liked to go to these messy places the most, but he really didn't know this place.
"That place is special. You need connections to be accepted. Most people don't know about it."
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 it, and I just went for a casual walk with him, that was the only time I went there, but I can take you two with me."
"Then hurry up, Ruoruo? Hurry up! We'll wait for you downstairs." Ling Yun pulled Ji Bailin downstairs, not forgetting to turn around and call Du Ruo, "Hurry up."
