Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 121: A Single Mother Who Saved Her Autistic Son (40)

Wenxiu's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Seeing that Yan Linsheng's reaction was as if he had been hit in a sore spot, everyone's expression changed, especially Yuan Jie who was standing in the center.

“…Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?”

Yan Linsheng was truly afraid of Wen Xiu at this moment: "Don't talk nonsense! Can you lie just to get revenge on Xing Ai?"

"You're lying with your eyes open?"

Wen Xiu raised an eyebrow. "Let's not talk about anything else. Take the Tang Dynasty tri-colored pottery on the second floor. It's a figurine of a Hu man leading a camel. The real thing is on display in the National Museum. If yours is the real thing, then the one in the National Museum must be fake, right?"

Yan Linsheng roared, "What do you know! They were unearthed from the same batch, similar but not identical! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here!"

Yuan Jie also calmed down a little at this time. Yan Linsheng was a professional history doctoral student and had some research on archaeology. They had known each other for many years.

I was really carried away just now and actually believed what Wenxiu said.

He had a headache and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Wenxiu.

"Authentic Tang Sancai is all hand-fired, using the double-firing method. Because the body material is mostly clay, it contains impurities such as quartz particles. Therefore, to cover up the roughness of the body, workers will add another layer of clay after forming and then bisque-fire it."

"Naturally, no impurities can be seen on freshly fired Tang Sancai, but after being weathered and unearthed two years ago, the surface glaze will fall off. Therefore, if you look closely at the one in the National Museum, you can see spots of impurities."

Wen Xiu smiled and said, "Although the workmanship on the second floor is very fine, the materials used are not the same. Even if it is deliberately aged, it can't achieve the old and simple feeling of the real Tang Sancai after being weathered."

"Am I right, Dr. Yan?"

Yuan Jie looked at Yan Linsheng and saw that his expression was full of fear and his face was pale. A smart person would naturally see that what Wen Xiu said was correct.

Yuan Jie's head was swelling and blood was boiling all over his body.

He spent millions to buy that Tang Sancai!

"Wait, sister-in-law, you mean, that Tang Sancai is fake? A forgery?" Yuan Jie was dizzy from the sudden popular science, and suddenly remembered Wen Xiu saying that all the ceramics and jades in his room were fake!

Wen Xiu looked at Yuan Jie with pity. "You can't say it's completely fake. The glaze is naturally lustrous and smooth, and the shape is meticulously crafted. It's obvious they paid a high price to hire a highly skilled craftsman to replicate the original."

"Rather than saying it's fake, it's more like a newly fired sancai, not a newly unearthed Tang sancai. It's a good piece of handicraft, and it's really beautifully made."

Only at this moment did Yuan Jie realize that he had been set up.

The person who set up the scheme was his good brother Yan Linsheng, whom he had known for many years.

A young man standing in the crowd also came to Yan Linsheng to look at the antique. His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he asked, "But, doesn't that Tang Sancai have an appraisal certificate?"

Yes, there is also a certificate of appraisal!

Yuan Jie came back to his senses and immediately said, "Yes, there is a certificate of appraisal!"

Wen Xiu said, "An appraisal certificate? I can write one casually and it can serve as an appraisal certificate."

"Did you buy it at a reputable auction house? Did you take it to a reputable auction house for appraisal?"

The question hit Yuan Jie on the head and he couldn't say a word.

Few of the bottles and jars in this room were bought from regular auction houses, because the sellers had obtained these ornaments through illegal tomb robbing. Yan Linsheng had connections with them, and he had secretly participated in a private auction held by the seller and bought them.

The reason he didn't seek out a specialized appraisal agency was because the auctioneer was a well-known figure in the industry, and the attendees were all well-known figures in the antique world, either wealthy or noble. Most importantly, he had Yan Linsheng as his guarantor. He was the grandson of Yan Heng, a leading figure in the antique world!

Even if Yuan Jie didn't want to admit it at this moment, he realized that he had been set up by everyone.

Yan Linsheng had already fallen silent when Wenxiu started talking.

Wenxiu was an expert. If she told him the truth, he would have no chance of survival. He knew that he was finished, and the Yan family was finished with him.

...

Mr. Yuan and Mr. Wei witnessed everything that happened on the second-floor terrace.

Old Yuan chuckled: "How did this kid Ah Quan find such a smart wife?"

"A match made in heaven." Old Wei also smiled. He knew that his judgment of people was always right. Look, this daughter-in-law is indeed not an ordinary person.

On the other side, Yuan Jie's father was so angry when he knew that his son had been cheated of so much money that he wanted to jump down and beat the prodigal son to death on the spot.

Why don't you learn something else? Why do you have to learn how to collect antiques from others? You are a fool with a lot of money.

But Mr. Yuan was very open-minded: "You are still too young. Suffering a little loss is also a long lesson."

Those who deal in antiques are all shrewd people. The antique world is not a circle where you can get ahead as long as you have money. It is a very complicated place and everyone has their own tricks.

Yuan Jie, a young man in his twenties, is still too naive to think about increasing the value of his antique collection.

Mr. Yuan shook his head.

-

Wenxiu was too lazy to watch how Yuan Jie dealt with the Yan siblings. She walked straight into the room and went up to the third floor. Wei Zongquan had just come out of the room.

He saw that Wenxiu was lightly dressed, her skirt was half wet, and her face was as pale as snow. He reached out and touched Wenxiu's hand, which was icy cold.

"Why are you still so cold?" Wei Zongquan frowned and immediately took off his coat and wanted to put it on Wenxiu's shoulders.

Wen Xiu was also furious with him. She threw her coat back into Wei Zongquan's arms and said coldly, "You're also responsible for this. You can't even keep an eye on the people. You can handle the rest by yourself!"

Wei Zongquan knew he was in the wrong, so he had to take his clothes and go downstairs to deal with the culprit.

The room was warm and Mrs. Wei was feeding Wen Jin red date and ginger tea.

"Let me do it."

Wenxiu walked over and took the soup bowl and spoon from Mrs. Wei.

When Mrs. Wei saw Wenxiu's fierce behavior, she was speechless for a while.

Wen Jin probably felt that Wenxiu was angry, so he drank a bowl of soup obediently and then threw himself into Wenxiu's arms.

He had already changed into clean and comfortable clothes and snuggled in the down quilt, and his body had long since returned to the warm and soft touch.

Wenxiu had experienced the piercing pain of falling into icy water in the middle of winter, so she felt particularly sorry for Wenjin. She touched Wenjin's hair, feeling both angry and distressed, "Are you not cold anymore?"

Wen Jin shook his head.

"I failed to protect you."

Wenxiu subconsciously gave Wenjin a loving kiss on the top of his head.

Mrs. Wei saw this scene and walked out of the room silently.

She walked to the first floor and saw that Yan Linsheng and Yan Xingai had been taken indoors, but no one provided them with clean clothes or ginger tea to ward off the cold.

Mrs. Wei did not expect that Yan Xingai actually had such a despicable side. She originally thought that she was a lively and enthusiastic person, which was just right for the cold and taciturn Wei Zongquan.

At this time, Yuan Jie was worried that he had wasted a lot of money on buying a bunch of fake goods, and he also had to appease the Wei family's anger. He was exhausted both physically and mentally.

He didn't bother to care about Yan Linsheng, who was already a dead man in his eyes. He had someone call Old Yan and send someone to pick up the Yan brothers and sisters. He also revoked his umbrella status. As for Yan Heng, he would probably be spurned by the industry because of his grandson's behavior, and his reputation in old age would be in jeopardy.
