206: Chapter 207: I’m Here, I’m the Best Gift!

Tang Zhong’s words immediately caused a stir.

At this very moment, everyone was looking at Tang Zhong.

To destroy someone else’s thing and still act so haughty, how impressive!

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen became thoroughly displeased, “What are you talking about, what stone horse?

This is a jade horse!”

The others also felt that Tang Zhong’s comment was too much.

Who would give their father a stone horse as a gift?

Even Lu Xingyue was stunned.

How could her senior say such a thing?

Facing the skeptical gazes around him, Tang Zhong simply smiled indifferently and said, “Stone horse, jade horse, we’ll see after a look!”

Then his gaze fell on the ground to the remnants there.

He saw that after the stone horse shattered, the debris was scattered all over the floor.

“Nonsense, this is a jade horse.

Haha, trying to argue your way out?

Fine, I’ll play along to the end!” Lu Chen said.

In fact, Lu Chen had long known there was an issue with his horse.

He had acquired it for a few thousand dollars, and his intention was to gift it to Lu Haiyang as a birthday present.

In his view, Lu Haiyang, who was close to death’s door, would definitely not check the origins of the jade and would surely be happy with the gift.

Indeed, the truth was as he had anticipated, but he had not expected someone to recognize the origins of the horse.

However, he was not at all panicked, as no one would believe the words of a nobody like this kid.

This was like a beggar claiming to recognize an LV bag—even if they really did recognize it, who would listen?

Besides, with Lu Chen’s ability, dealing with such a person quietly and effortlessly would be a piece of cake.

Preppy rich kid Xu Hui also stepped forward at this time, looking at Tang Zhong with a cold sneer, “Is there even a need to look?

It’s clearly a jade horse.

Haha, a beggar, could he understand?

Now you’ve smashed the jade horse, which is worth tens of millions.

Can you afford to compensate for it?”

“What’s it to you?” Tang Zhong said with a smile.

“You…” Xu Hui gnashed his teeth in anger.

The rest of the crowd was buzzing.

“Hilarious… Truly hilarious!”

“Yeah, could the birthday gift Lu Chen gave to his dad be a stone, what kind of joke is that?”

“Right!”

Lu Xingyue approached Tang Zhong and urgently said, “Senior…”

“I got this!” Tang Zhong chuckled.

Lu Xingyue then remained silent, letting her senior handle it.

Lu Haiyang too became unsettled at this time.

Stone?

A stone horse?

Impossible, he thought, his face growing dark.

If he received a stone horse for his ninetieth birthday, wouldn’t that be cursing him to die?

Turning around, Lu Haiyang looked at Lu Chen and snapped, “Is what he said true?”

Lu Chen immediately replied, “Dad, how could that be true?

He’s framing me.

I spent tens of millions on that, and had several antiquity masters verify it, it’s definitely genuine!”

“Really?” Lu Haiyang said.

“Yes!” Lu Chen replied.

Then Lu Haiyang looked at Tang Zhong and said, “Young friend, you say this horse is made of stone, do you have any evidence?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen too shouted at Tang Zhong, “You brat, you say there’s something wrong with my horse, then speak up, what’s the problem?

Don’t frame me without reason, I’m telling you, if you can’t give a valid explanation, don’t blame me for being rude, even if you are Xingyue’s boyfriend, it won’t do!”

Tang Zhong simply smiled, walked over to the broken jade horse, squatted down, picked up the pieces together, and then threw them down again.

They noticed that the jade, which had already been in pieces, now had even larger cracks.

The others did not understand what Tang Zhong was doing.

They thought he was just struggling in vain.

Tang Zhong continued to pick up the pieces and smash them, as he was looking for something.

He examined a broken shard at the end, and finally, upon finding the right one, he started laughing.

“Everyone knows that the Red Hare Jade Horse is carved from Blood Jade,” Tang Zhong said.

The people around him agreed—it was indeed the case; the Red Hare was carved from Blood Jade.

The jade horse from before certainly looked like Blood Jade, so what did he mean by saying this?

“But look at this jade, does it look like Blood Jade to you?” Tang Zhong held out the shard in his hand, and there, in the center of his palm, was a piece of jade that was green.

At this moment, everybody began to frown.

“Logically speaking, Blood Jade should be dark red inside.

If this piece is not dark red, then it’s not Blood Jade but a forgery.

Merchants use solutions of iron salt to soak the jade over a long period, or they immerse it in red dye in order to make the jade appear red!”

Those who didn’t know jade could not discern these particulars.

However, the genuine Red Hare Jade Horse was in Tang Zhong’s hands, and even if Tang Zhong was not an expert, he knew that this piece was a fake.

“If this is Blood Jade, then how can such a situation arise?” Tang Zhong turned and looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen became panic-stricken.

He had never imagined that Tang Zhong would have even the slightest knowledge about jade.

This development made things difficult for him.

The others also saw the jade shard in Tang Zhong’s hand and realized that it was indeed not red, prompting a chorus of hisses.

Lu Haiyang frowned upon seeing the jade piece in Tang Zhong’s hand: “Let me see that!”

Tang Zhong handed it over.

Lu Haiyang examined it closely and then widened his eyes.

He turned to Lu Chen and demanded, “What is the meaning of this?”

Lu Chen grew even more flustered: “Dad, I…

I don’t know about this!”

The situation had escalated more quickly than anyone had anticipated.

The shattered jade unexpectedly revealed its true nature.

Lu Chen knew that his jade was a fake.

He had thought that his deception was flawless, but now his ruse had been unveiled, and he had to steady himself.

“But you can’t expect me to accept this kind of fake jade?” Lu Haiyang was angry.

“No…

I really spent ten million on this piece of jade!” Lu Chen explained, “I just didn’t expect it to be like this.

You know, Dad, I don’t understand these things about jade.

I’ll go find the person who sold it to me right away!”

“No need, pack these things up!” Lu Haiyang ordered sharply.

Without further ado, Lu Chen quickly gathered up all the broken jade pieces from the floor, leaving no trace behind.

The Lu family was wealthy and influential, but Lu Haiyang was still in charge, so Lu Chen did not dare make a scene.

The debacle quickly concluded as Lu Chen cleaned up.

The crowd hadn’t expected such an outcome and fell silent.

Lu Chen stood to one side in silence, but the hatred in his eyes was unmistakably intense.

Today, Lu Haiyang’s anger almost ruined Lu Chen, and it was all because of Tang Zhong, a fool who didn’t know any better.

Just wait; he would make sure Tang Zhong paid dearly.

Lu Haiyang did not want to say more.

After all, airing family scandals did no good, and talking further would be pointless.

He was just about to introduce the next part of the celebration.

But at that moment, Lu Chen stood up and shouted at Tang Zhong, “The jade horse that was my gift was a time when I was deceived, unbeknownst to me.

Now I ask, what is your gift?”

The others also turned their gaze towards Tang Zhong, indeed wanting to see what his gift was.

Tang Zhong hadn’t expected Lu Chen to be so obstinate.

Of course, this was just a minor lesson.

Lu Chen wanted to use him as a scapegoat, and this was the price.

But as for the gift, he certain had one, and he replied with a smile, “Coming to Grandpa Lu’s birthday today is the biggest gift I could give!”
