Chapter 302 Expert Appraisal
The scene had already descended into a certain level of chaos, and Qin Yuan still wanted to stand up and make sarcastic remarks.
However, when she said this, the audience below the stage also felt that what she said made some sense and began to whisper, “Yeah, is Jiang Yu saying that this porcelain cup is fake because she wants to compensate less money?”
“But the person behind Jiang Yu is Mo Long. Could it be that the great President Mo can’t even come up with 800,000 yuan?”
The voices in the recording studio became louder and louder, and the host had no choice but to step in to resolve the matter.
She held the microphone and said, “Regardless of whether Jiang Yu is right or wrong, there are still three other experts present. We can ask these three experts to help identify it. That way, we will know whether this porcelain cup is real or fake.”
Mr. He also felt that Jiang Yu had said that in order to give him less money, or even not lose any money, so he also had a favorable attitude towards the host’s proposal.
He said, “Alright. Compared to a vase that only knows how to act, I might as well listen to the opinions of other experts.”
The two professors Zheng He and Jiang Lai were quick to move. They stepped forward and picked up the fragments. After examining them carefully for a few minutes, they said, “This porcelain cup is indeed a fake.”
“Rumble…” Mr. He felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head.
How could it be… How could even the experts say that his cup was fake?!
“You… you are all in cahoots, right?! All to help this Jiang Yu? I spent 800,000 yuan to buy this cup. How could it be. How could it be…” Mr. He was on the verge of breaking down. However, he didn’t say the last word “possible”. What else could it be? The truth was right in front of him. He had been cheated.
He spent 800,000 yuan to buy a fake porcelain cup but he was unwilling to admit it.
“The patterns and how old this porcelain cup is shows that it isn’t a real one,” Professor Zheng He said. “And judging from the patterns that it broke, it isn’t the real one either.”
He knew that saying this would completely destroy Mr. He’s confidence, but it was the truth.
Moreover, Jiang Yu was a member of their Antiques Professional Identification Association, so he had just checked it carefully.
Mr. He gradually calmed himself down and lowered his head, unwilling to look at Jiang Yu again.
After a long silence, Mr. He raised his head and said to Jiang Yu, “I’m sorry, Miss Jiang Yu.”
Jiang Yu said, “You shouldn’t be the one apologizing to me. I was careless when I was walking and broke your cup. Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you according to the price for the cup you bought.”
Mr. He shook his head and said, “Sigh, forget it. This 800,000 yuan should be a lesson for
me.”
With that, Mr. He left the stage in a depressed mood.
The farce ended just like that.
The staff immediately cleaned up the venue and prepared for the next contributor’s shoot.
Jiang Yu took advantage of the time when the staff cleaned up the venue to grab her bag and quickly caught up with Mr. He.
“Mr. He!” Jiang Yu stopped him and said, “I’m really sorry about what happened just now!”
Mr. He stopped and said, “It’s okay, Miss Jiang Yu. It’s me who doesn’t want to believe this fact. You don’t have to compensate me for that money. Just treat it as a lesson for me. Sigh.”
“I won’t cut short a single cent of the money that I should compensate you for.” Jiang Yu insisted on paying Mr. He. She took out a check and a pen from her bag.
After writing down the amount of money and signing her name, Jiang Yu handed the check over, “This is eight hundred thousand yuan. Regardless of whether that cup of yours is the real thing or a fake, it’s something that you bought with your money after all. I should compensate you if I broke it. It’s only right and
proper.”
Mr. He took the check, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
