Xie Zhen's expression was somewhat stiff.
Because Qin Sheng didn't take her seriously at all, and also because of that highly targeted "you".
Why did she say "you all"?
Does she know something?
Xie Zhen felt a vague unease in her heart.
But in an instant, she composed herself.
This matter was originally proposed by Chi Yuanyuan, and it was the Chi family that handled it from beginning to end. At most, she was just an "insider".
There's no way she could be implicated.
So she carefully examined the calligraphy copybook in front of her.
She had never seen the Chi family's calligraphy copybooks, but she had seen other copies of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in the museum, including exquisite copies. Therefore, at just one glance, she was certain that this was Wang Xizhi's calligraphy!
It's impossible for it to be the original, but it's still a very high-quality copy.
In fact, from the very beginning when Xie Zhen learned that the Chi family possessed an authentic work by Wang Xizhi, she knew that the so-called authentic work was at most a Tang Dynasty copy.
After all, if it were truly an authentic work, it wouldn't be possible to buy it for a few billion dollars. Moreover, existing information indicates that authentic works by Wang Xizhi have been extinct since the Tang Dynasty.
The exquisite calligraphy copybook in front of her was even more outstanding than the one she had seen in the museum.
The brushwork is elegant and captivating, yet it possesses a unique and refined beauty, with a touch of sharp brilliance.
The paper, ink, and overall quality are all superb.
The only thing that Xie Zhen found a little strange was that the calligraphy copybook looked remarkably well-preserved. There were no obvious signs of creases or even the common fuzziness.
Even most of the calligraphy and painting works lack the seals left by predecessors.
Could this calligraphy copybook actually be a newly unearthed artifact?
Xie Zhen thought to herself.
Regardless, just for the handwriting alone, it's worth over a billion.
Xie Zhen wasn't a specialist in calligraphy, painting, or cultural relics, but after assessing its value, she nodded and said, "It is indeed a fine copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy."
Chi Yuanyuan was stunned: "A fine copy, not the original?"
Xie Zhen smiled and explained to her, "Wang Xizhi's original works disappeared after the Tang Dynasty. The original works we talk about now are generally Tang Dynasty copies."
"Even if it's just a fine copy, it's worth 1.3 billion. If it were the real original, it would be worth hundreds of billions."
Chi Yuanyuan suddenly realized.
He immediately looked at Qin Sheng: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Qin Sheng certainly does.
And there are many.
She waved the calligraphy scroll in her hand and gestured with her chin at Xie Zhen: "Are you sure this calligraphy is worth 1.3 billion?"
Xie Zhen nodded slightly and affirmed, "Of course."
"Alright then." Qin Sheng casually rolled up the calligraphy copybook again, put it back in its original box, and tossed it into Xie Zhen's arms. "Ten billion, it's yours."
Xie Zhen: "???"
What the heck?
Qin Sheng turned to look at Old Master Fu and explained, "It took me more than two hours to write this calligraphy. I originally wanted to give it to you as a gift, but since Miss Xie is willing to pay 1 billion for it, let's give it to her first."
"Take a look and see whose calligraphy you like, and I'll copy it for you."
Grandpa Fu looked completely bewildered, and could do nothing but nod and say "oh".
Chi Yuanyuan and Xie Zhen were completely stunned, but Xie Zhen was the first to react.
She pointed to the calligraphy copybook in her hand, somewhat amused: "You're saying you wrote this?"
Qin Sheng: "Yes, but it's yours now."
"Remember to send the money."
Fu Jingheng stepped forward at the opportune moment and reminded her, "Xie Fang said he deducted all her allowance."
Let alone a billion, it's hard to say whether she can even come up with ten thousand right now.
Qin Sheng's attitude changed instantly, and he snatched the calligraphy copybook back.
He didn't speak, but the destructive power of that action alone surpassed that of any words.
Especially in front of Fu Jingheng.
The series of blows that had been hitting Xie Zhen recently were already breaking down the high walls she had built in her heart, and Qin Sheng's actions over the past month were the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Her gaze was utterly cold.
Her gaze swept back over Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng, and suddenly she chuckled softly, "Qin Sheng, how about we make a bet?"
Qin Sheng's voice was cold, and her attitude was even more indifferent: "I don't bet with people who have no money."
Xie Zhen: "..."
Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger that was rising in her heart, she reached out and took off the necklace around her neck and the pair of bracelets on her wrist.
He continued, "This is the coming-of-age gift my family prepared for me when I turned eighteen. It's called the Heart of the Ocean. At the time, it cost 1.2 billion. Now, more than three years later, the value of this piece of jewelry has been raised to 1.8 billion internationally."
She pointed to the calligraphy copybook that had been placed aside: "As long as you can prove that this is your handwriting, I will buy it and use this piece of jewelry."
So she can earn even more?
It's true that Qin Sheng enjoys hoarding money, but: "I'm not interested in jewelry that other people have worn."
And: "Who do you think you are, to ask me to prove anything to you?"
Qin Sheng smiled, still maintaining her usual aloof demeanor, but the words she spoke were extremely cold and arrogant.
Xie Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body trembled slightly.
Seeing that her ally was being suppressed by Qin Sheng and unable to speak, Chi Yuanyuan finally reacted and quickly stepped forward and said, "She is not worthy of your testimony, so what about me? This is my Chi family's property. You stole my family's property and transferred it to the Fu family. Now you are making up some nonsense about this being a calligraphy copybook that you wrote yourself."
"If a high school student like you can write a calligraphy book worth a billion in just two hours, then why bother going to school? Why not just switch careers and sell your calligraphy?"
Chi Yuanyuan felt that if she continued to drag things out, things would only get more and more out of control. At this moment, she regretted her earlier impulsive decision to reveal the whole story in public.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to have Officer Zhong take her to the police station for questioning. Regardless of the outcome, the fact that Qin Sheng was taken to the police station in front of so many people is enough to ensure that she will never be able to recover.
Not to mention marrying into the Fu family and then helping Chi Sangsang to suppress her!
Well, Qin Sheng didn't get to laugh at her; instead, she was thoroughly humiliated by her.
However, it's not too late now.
Chi Yuanyuan quickly looked at Officer Zhong and said, "Officer Zhong, Qin Sheng is a liar. Since we can't get any results from this interrogation, why don't you take her back to the police station for a more thorough interrogation?"
Officer Zhong just chuckled.
Interrogation?
Did he ask any questions from beginning to end? Did he even have a chance to ask any questions?
Before, when I wanted to see someone make a fool of themselves, I would rush to say everything. Now that I can't win the argument, I'm thinking of him again.
What did they take the Tiandu Police Station for? Did they think she could call the shots?!
Officer Zhong was about to speak when someone else spoke first.
This time, however, it wasn't Chi Yuanyuan.
It is Fu Jingheng.
