CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 847. Elder Mr. Lin is worth only 10 yuan

It could be said that she was young and ignorant, unable to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit antiques. After all, not everyone is an authentication master, so it was understandable if Yan Yufei had bought a fake Duan inkstone.

Yan Xu tried to direct everyone’s attention to the possibility that Yan Yufei had been cheated, but no one was a fool or deaf. They all heard Yan Yufei say she bought an inkstone that had been used by Emperor Huizong, worth 2 million.

But in an instant, she then said she spent 200,000.

Saying things without thinking, blabbering without considering the consequences could lead to embarrassment.

Yan Yufei knew she had embarrassed herself greatly, and as she heard Yan Xu say this, her eyes brightened, and she immediately nodded and said:

"Yes, Dad, the person told me it was an inkstone from the Huizong period and sold it to me for 200,000. I couldn’t tell if it was real or fake, I just wanted to give Grandpa Lin a heartfelt gift for his birthday. I never thought it would be a counterfeit."

This time, Yan Yufei didn’t lie. She followed her friend’s advice, saying that there were many authentic pieces on the black market unavailable in regular stores, and they were cheaper and guaranteed to be genuine, so she went there.

What she believed to be lucky was that she saw an inkstone exactly like the 2-million one sold in Long Pavilion, but the seller was asking for only 200,000, claiming it was from the Huizong period.

Since black market transactions usually cut out middleman, with no additional handling fees or price differences, the prices tend to be relatively cheaper. That’s why Yan Yufei believed in it.

That person didn’t actually say it was an inkstone used by Emperor Huizong, nor did they say it was the exact inkstone he used when creating his Thin Gold Style.

She had just listened to the store manager at Long Pavilion give an introduction previously and automatically assumed the same inkstone background for this one.

On one hand, she wanted to show others that she was knowledgeable; on the other hand, claiming that the inkstone was used by Emperor Huizong would increase its value, making people believe it’s worth 2 million.

Who could have expected that the hidden owner of Long Pavilion would be at Elder Mr. Lin’s birthday banquet, and this incident would occur?

Yan Yufei felt suffocated and wronged, but she had no choice but to yield, thinking of quickly getting past this.

However, she heard someone in the crowd, seemingly enjoying making things worse, whisper:

"Wasn’t it supposed to be two million? How did it change to 200,000?"

While the person tried to lower their voice, it was still loud enough for everyone at the scene to hear, including the Yan family.

Qin Shuyi had been quiet the whole time, but she delighted in watching this embarrassing situation unfold. After all, Old Yan’s dignity had been already compromised by her stepdaughter, so there was nothing to lose anymore.

At this point, she only wished that her stepdaughter would completely lose face and never be seen in public again.

Yan Xu didn’t know who said that, but he gritted his teeth in secret. He subtly tried to direct the topic toward his daughter being cheated, but with this person’s reminder, everyone was now ignoring the fact that his daughter was cheated.

Instead, they concluded that she had tried to pass off a ten-yuan item as a 2-million antique, making her both laughably vain and utterly disrespectful.

Was Elder Mr. Lin only worth ten yuan?

In fact, the old man didn’t care whether it was 2 million, 200,000, or 20 yuan. He didn’t mind at all.

With gift-giving, it’s the thought that counts, even if it’s a 20-yuan inkstone, it’s still usable as long as the intention is there.
