Chapter 1018 The Broken Purple Clay Teapot
Here, Gu Ning came to the Antique Street, then took out a box of antiques from the space and walked towards the Antique Street.
On the way, Gu Ning heard a child crying and a noise coming from the front, so he looked over immediately. He saw a boy of about twelve or thirteen lying on the ground, holding onto the thigh of a middle-aged man, who tried to shake him off but failed.
"You have to compensate me with a purple clay teapot. You have to compensate me with a purple clay teapot..." the boy cried.
"Let me go! You broke this thing yourself. Why should I accompany you?" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"No, it was you, you broke it, you broke it..." the boy retorted, firmly and stubbornly.
"Ask who saw that I broke it? Let me go, or I will make you pay for it." The middle-aged man threatened ferociously.
Everyone just watched, and no one intended to speak for the young man, even though some of them had really seen that the purple clay teapot belonged to the middle-aged man.
Yes, the young man’s purple clay teapot was broken by the middle-aged man, but he was unwilling to pay compensation and unwilling to admit it.
Those who saw the man breaking the purple clay teapot did not say anything because they did not dare to, because this middle-aged man was of great importance and they, the common people, could not afford to offend him.
"I won't let go. You have to compensate me for the purple clay teapot. This is something my grandfather has kept for a lifetime. If you break it, you have to compensate me. My grandfather needs money to save his life." said the young man.
"If you don't let go, don't blame me for being rude." The middle-aged man was furious and kicked the young man with his other foot.
Seeing this, no one dared to intervene.
However, just when the middle-aged man was about to kick the young man, a foot stretched out and stopped the middle-aged man's foot.
The moment the middle-aged man's feet were blocked, he felt as if he was lifted up by a stone. He felt a sharp pain in his feet and could not help but cry out "ouch".
Everyone was also surprised when they saw this.
Looking up, he saw that the person blocking his way was a young and pretty girl. The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up and his original anger disappeared.
"Wow, what a beautiful girl!" the middle-aged man said lightly, with a very obscene look on his face.
Gu Ning smiled sweetly, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she asked softly, "Did you break his purple clay teapot?"
Gu Ning is using the beauty trap.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man was attracted by Gu Ning, so his mind was out of control for a moment and he blurted out the words. As soon as the words came out, everyone immediately understood and their eyes on the middle-aged man changed.
However, after the man said this, he immediately reacted and changed his words: "No, he broke it himself."
"No, you broke it." The young man lying on the ground immediately denied it, indignantly.
"You get up first! I will help you get justice." Gu Ning took back his teachings and said to the young man.
Gu Ning was the first person to stand up for him, and she even blocked a kick for him, so subconsciously, the boy believed in Gu Ning, so he listened to her, let go of the middle-aged man's thigh, and stood up.
Then, Gu Ning looked at the middle-aged man again. The charming eyes just now turned cold in an instant, the sweet smile turned into a sneer, and the gentle voice also turned cold: "No? Do you think there is something wrong with our ears?"
At the beginning, Gu Ning believed that the boy was not lying. It was this man who broke the boy's purple clay teapot, and the middle-aged man's deep affection was also revealed, but ordinary people could not see it.
Gu Ning also understood why someone didn't step forward even though they saw it. It was simply because they knew this man, and this man might have some background, so they would be wary.
It would be fine if the purple clay teapot was fake, but it turned out to be a genuine one, and the young man’s grandfather’s life depended on the money from selling the purple clay teapot!
Therefore, Gu Ning decided to take care of this trivial matter.
Everyone wanted to stay out of it, but Gu Ning's words drew everyone's attention. They clearly heard the middle-aged man's answer, so they couldn't admit that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Hmph! So what if that's the case? What can you do to me! Besides, it's just a fake, how much can it be worth?" Knowing that it was useless to deny, the middle-aged man admitted it, but he looked arrogant and was not afraid of what Gu Ning could do to him.
"No, this is not a fake!" the young man immediately retorted upon hearing it.
This is his grandfather’s treasure. His grandfather said it is real and worth hundreds of thousands!
"What do you know, kid? If I say it's a fake, it's a fake." The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, obviously feeling guilty, and then he scolded.
Yes, the man knew that the purple clay teapot was not a fake, so he denied from the beginning that he had broken the teapot, instead of paying the other party a few hundred dollars for it as if it were a fake.
Originally, he came to buy this purple clay teapot, but accidentally broke it and didn't want to pay for it.
Because this is a genuine product, it is worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.
It's not that he didn't have the money, but the purple clay teapot was already broken and had become a waste. If he had to pay for it, wouldn't the money be wasted? He wouldn't do that!
"Whether it's real or fake, why don't we ask an expert to take a look and we'll know?" Gu Ning said. Although she knew that the purple clay teapot was real, the other party would not admit it and would accuse her of talking nonsense.
Therefore, the most convincing source is none other than the identification experts.
"Okay!" The middle-aged man agreed happily after hearing this: "I'll call!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out his cell phone and prepared to call an expert.
The middle-aged man is so happy and positive because the people he wants to call are his own people. Whether it is true or false, isn't it up to them to decide?
But is Gu Ning so easy to calculate? "Wait a minute," Gu Ning immediately stopped him and said, "We can't trust the people you called, but you can call yours and I'll call mine, how about that?"
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this. This girl also knows an expert in identification? If so, that would be bad.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man felt a little uneasy and asked tentatively: "Which expert are you calling?"
The middle-aged man wanted to know the background of the person the other party called. If he was small, he would not be afraid, but if he was bigger than the one he called, that would be bad.
"Of course we call the experts from the Antiques Association. Experts from the Antiques Association are more convincing, aren't they?" Gu Ning said. He knew what the other party was thinking!
Hearing this, the middle-aged man became even more uneasy. If it was an Antiques Association, then they must be from a powerful background. His people were just experts from an Antiques Appraisal Institute.
