A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 203 How Can Your Husband Do This?

He was the one who selected the blue and white porcelain. Ye Fan was not only questioning Eight

Treasure Hall's reputation but also Han Shao-Jie's judgment.

So when they heard Ye Fan's words, they were naturally unhappy.

"That's right, Mr Ye. What did you mean by that? Why would I lose all my money by buying this piece?"

asked Shen Fei quizzically.

Ye Fan laughed softly, "Why else? Of course, it's because this thing in your hands isn't an authentic

piece from the Yuan Dynasty. It's probably worth far less than you paid. In other words, it's a fake."

What?

Everyone was shocked by Ye Fan.

Yang He was even angrier. "That's nonsense!"

"Eight Treasure Hall is reputable in the antique circles and everyone in Yunzhou's antique circles

knows how trustworthy Eight Treasure Hall is! The year before, when a Tang Yin original emerged and

shocked all the collectors of Yunzhou, Eight Treasure Hall was the one who sold it. Last year, the

copybook that got sold at an astronomical ten million at the Yunzhou auction came from Eight Treasure

Hall too. Just last month, Eight Treasure Hall sold a perfectly maintained cloisonne from the Guanxu

era."

"We have proven over the years that Eight Treasure Hall sells only authentic pieces and welcomes its

customers to check them. Eight Treasure Hall is a 100-year-old establishment, and our repute is

everything to us. Even if we have nothing to sell, we'll never stoop so low as to sell fakes as genuine

pieces and wreck our honor! How can a youngster like you who doesn't know better say such © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

nonsense! How can you accuse us of passing off counterfeit goods as genuine antiques? If you don't

explain yourself now, I'll not let this slide even if you're Young Master Shen's friend!" Yang He was so

livid that his fury shot sky-high.

His angry words were like a tidal wave and clanged as loudly as shocking thunder as he scolded Ye

Fan ferociously. His ice-cold furious voice reverberated through the sixth floor.

The reason Eight Treasure Hall could stand on their own two feet in the antique circles was because of

their brand reputation.

Eight Treasure Hall had clear lines between authentic pieces and fakes.

But Ye Fan was eroding the very foundation that Eight Treasure Hall relied on to survive, it was only

natural for Yang He to be furious.

Shen Fei also looked at Ye Fan and said, "Mr Ye, are you mistaken? The boss is right about Eight

Treasure Hall's reputation. My father bought that Tang Yan original from here too. How can this blue

and white porcelain be fake?”

The commotion attracted Su Yuan-Shan and the others to come over.

At first, they were curious about what made the shop owner so mad.

Then when they saw Ye Fan among them, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian almost went insane.

"Damn it, it's him again! What is wrong with this stupid country bumpkin?! Is he deliberately stirring

trouble for us?” Su Qian spat angrily.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was both worried and upset. She hurried over to pull Ye Fan back. At the same time,

she looked apologetically at Yang He as she apologized profusely, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. He really

doesn't mean to offend you. I'll take him away now."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's little face went pale. After she apologized to Yang He, she dragged Ye Fan out.

"Why aren't you moving? Can't you even stay out of trouble for a moment? Do you even know anything

about antiques? If you don't know anything, then are you embarrassing yourself on purpose?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was genuinely infuriated too.

She couldn't believe there was a man like this who went around making trouble and acted like he knew

everything.

Women got married in the hope of finding refuge from wind and rain. Not so that her husband could go

around and cause trouble.

But Ye Fan had no intention of leaving. He only looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and said calmly, "Do you think

I am saying nonsense too?"

"If not?! Don't tell me you're a master appraiser?" shouted Qiu Mu-Cheng with her eyes red.

She didn't expect Ye Fan to continue saying such things at this point in time. He made Qiu Mu-Cheng

even angrier now.

At first, Ye Fan remained expressionless, then he laughed bitterly at himself. "Then again, in your eyes,

I'm just a driver from the countryside. But Qiu Mu-Cheng, I'm going to prove who's really lying."

"Someone like you? A pauper from the countryside? Have you ever seen an antique before? I bet

you've never even touched one before. How dare you pretend to know anything? You're just asking to

be humiliated now! Are you trying to embarrass Mu-Cheng? Hurry up and leave with us!" When Su

Qian heard Ye Fan's words, she found it so hilarious that she started railing at him too.

"Don't leave just yet. This friend of ours looks like he knows a lot and must be an expert appraiser.

Since he wants to prove himself, why don't you let him do it? I'm curious about why he's so confident.

Maybe this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is genuinely a fake?" Han Shao-Jie suddenly

chuckled.

But the tone in his voice sounded terribly sarcastic no matter what he said.

"What would a country bumpkin like you know about appraisal?” Su Qian gnashed her teeth angrily.

But all eyes were on Ye Fan now. They were waiting for him to present his argument and prove his

judgment.

But Ye Fan merely smiled calmly and said, "I don't know anything about the valuation of antiques. But I

do know that this piece here is a forgery."

What?

The entire crowd exploded when they heard these words.

"Damn you!"

"Are you an idiot?"

"How dare you claim his blue and white porcelain is a fake when you don't even know how to appraise

precious objects?"

"I think this brat is just here to cause trouble!"

Everyone started talking as they looked at Ye Fan as though he were an idiot.

"Damn it! After all that, he turned out to be an idiot! Where are the security guards? Hurry up and throw

this trouble making retard out!" Yang He was going wild with fury.

At first, he thought that the youth honestly detected something amiss. Judging from his confidence, he

seemed to know a thing or two. But now it was clear that he was nothing but an idiot.

He didn't know anything about appraising antiques?

If he didn't, then why was he so confident that this piece was a fake?

Han Shao-Jie shook his head as he laughed and whispered, "Fei, it looks like your so-called big shot

isn't worthy of his name."

Han Shao-Jie spoke and sneered as he looked at the farce in front of him calmly.

Shen Fei was starting to look upset himself. He didn't expect Mr Chu to disregard the occasion and

bluff heedlessly.

Appraisal was a highly professional skill after all. If he knew nothing, then why did he make such

irresponsible comments?

In a matter of moments, Ye Fan's image plummeted in Shen Fei's heart. He now looked at Ye Fan less

reverently than before.

After all, no one liked unreasonable people who went around bragging.

So Shen Fei did nothing to stop the security guards when they surrounded them. He only watched on

in silence.

Su Yuan-Shan and Su Nan kept shaking their heads too. They looked at Ye Fan with slightly more

contempt in their eyes.

No wonder his daughter detested and despised this peasant so much. There was certainly a good

reason for her to.

"Damn, Mu-Cheng. Is this peasant a dimwit? Did a mule kick him in the head? Doesn't he know where

he is? Isn't he stirring trouble on purpose? If I had known things would turn out like that, I wouldn't have

brought him along. He's going to be the death of us one day!" Su Qian gnashed her teeth angrily.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was equally furious, and her eyes red. She yelled at Ye Fan, "That's enough!"

"Ye Fan, haven't you caused enough trouble yet? Are you purposely trying to make me angry? I

brought you here to widen your horizons and not for you to cause trouble!"
