A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 204 A Shocking Turn of Events

"Mu-Cheng, I think this country bumpkin is deliberately making things hard for us. He's just causing

trouble everywhere he goes! Aren't you going to leave?" roared Su Qian furiously.

"Get out now!" the employees from Eight Treasure Hall chased Ye Fan out directly.

The rich folk that had surrounded them to watch earlier were filled with contempt for Ye Fan as well.

Su Yuan-Shan and Su Nan shook their heads nonstop. They were puzzled as to how a woman as

capable as Qiu Mu-Cheng could hire someone like this as her driver and bodyguard.

Han Shao-Jie looked on coldly from the side. He looked at Ye Fan like he was a laughingstock as Ye

Fan was ridiculed by everyone else.

In just a moment, everyone was hurling insults and reproached Ye Fan. Even Qiu Mu-Cheng blamed

him for causing trouble.

At that moment, it was as though everyone in the world had forsaken Ye Fan. He became nothing but a

laughingstock to them. When the light in the showroom fell on him, it left a solitary shadow on the

ground.

The security guards then surrounded him.

Just us the security guards were about to take Ye Fan away forcibly, a deep cry suddenly came from

behind the crowd.

"Stop it! What's happened? What's with the commotion?" came the mildly angry voice of an elderly

man. He was walking over with a stern expression on his face as he was accompanied by many others.

The man already had a head of white hair. But when he was angry, sternness emanated from him, and

it was clear that he had high status in society.

"Pre...President Gu?" When Yang He saw the old man, he was frightened. He put away his arrogant

airs and swiftly went over to welcome him.

"Hmm? President Gu?"

"Could this be the deputy president of Yunzhou's antique association?”

"Isn't he the visiting professor at Jiangdong University and the eminent appraiser, Old Master Gu Long-

En?"

"Damn! This youngster even disturbed the heavyweight of the antique circles. This fellow is done for!"

When Gu Long-En arrived, many people reveled in his misfortune immediately.

Gu Long-En was a master in the antique circles and an expert at appraising. Among the collectors, he

was renowned and held a high status.

Apparently Gu Long-En was in charge of setting up the showrooms on the sixth floor, so he was

probably not going to go easy on Ye Fan for stirring trouble.

"President Gu, we didn't mean to make a commotion. It was mainly because someone was looking for

trouble, so..." Yang He clearly respected Gu Long-En a lot, so he quickly explained everything to him in

detail.

"This blue and white porcelain can be traced to its origins and was handed down through the

generations properly. If I weren't 100% confident, I wouldn't have put it up for sale. What's more, Young Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Master Shen got a professional to confirm that it isn't a counterfeit, but this man insists it's fake.

President Gu, you know about Eight Treasure Hall's reputation as well. This man has sullied our

reputation and purposely made trouble for us," said Yang He furiously.

Gu Long-En frowned, "Is that true?"

Then Gu Long-En glanced at Shen Fei, "Young Master Shen, do you think this piece is genuine? Are

you serious about buying this blue and white porcelain?"

Shen Fei nodded, "President Gu, my friend checked the piece and confirmed it originated from the

Yuan Dynasty, so yes, I did want to buy it."

Ye Fan immediately burst out laughing, "Shen Fei, if that so-called friend of yours is here, I suggest you

break off all ties with him. A friend who claims a fake to be authentic is either bad or foolish. You have

to be wary about him causing you harm."

"You..." Han Shao-Jie was instantly livid. He was so furious that he trembled and was dying to kick this

fellow.

Ye Fan was clearly attacking him with those words.

Shen Fei hastily held him back, "Shao-Jie, don't do anything stupid. You can't outdo him."

Shen Fei had witnessed what Ye Fan was capable of firsthand. Even someone as powerful as Wu He-

Rong was killed by him with a few moves, so someone as weak as Han Shao-Jie was probably going

to die.

"You little brat! When are you going to give it up?! In that case, I'll slap your face in front of everyone."

"President Gu, do you mind helping us to do an appraisal on the spot? It will help let those with ulterior

motives to see once and for all whether this piece is authentic or not." Yang He took the opportunity to

ask Gu Long-En directly about doing a valuation of the blue and white porcelain piece in front of

everyone.

Yang He was indeed a devious man.

Asking Gu Long-En to make an appraisal was a slap in Ye Fan's face, but more importantly, Yang He

could make use of Old Master Gu to publicize Eight Treasure Hall for free.

Of course, Gu Long-En could detect Yang He's intentions. But as an elder in the antique circles and the

president of the association, he didn't mind helping Eight Treasure Hall to do some publicity either.

"Sure. Considering the good reputation Eight Treasure Hall held all these years, I don't mind helping

out."

Everyone paid careful attention as Old Master Gu walked up and put on his gloves. At the same time,

he asked for the glasses he used specially for appraisal to be sent over. He held up the blue and white

porcelain and started studying it carefully.

Moments later, Old Master Gu removed his gloves. He seemed to have to come to a conclusion in his

heart.

"President Gu, how is it? Is it authentic?” asked Yang He anxiously while the rest looked on curiously.

Gu Long-En didn't reply immediately and spoke slowly instead.

""First of all, judging from its appearance, the porcelain body is thick, heavy, large, and strong. Also,

due to its dense patterns, there are as many as ten layers. This is the most prominent characteristic of

porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. Secondly, the porcelain's enamel has a green tint and turns light

green upon layering. This was probably due to the introduction of glaze stone, which made it thick and

heavy..." Gu Long-En spoke eloquently as he shared some professional theory. Even those who had

been enthusiasts for decades found it hard to understand, much less someone like Su Qian.

But after saying so much, the only thing everyone cared about was whether it was a fake or not.

"So based on my these points and my experience, this blue and white porcelain should be from the

Yuan Dynasty."

It went as Yang He had expected.

No one was surprised by this at all.

"What do you think now, brat? Is there anything else you'd like to say? If you go on saying nonsense

and disturb my business by ruining our reputation, how are you going to compensate me?" said Yang

He coldly to Ye Fan as he straightened his back.

Han Shao-Jie smiled even more brightly as well. He looked at Ye Fan scornfully, "It looks like this joke

is finally over.

Su Yuan-Shan and the others all shook their heads. They thought Ye Fan would finally give up now.

Only Qiu Mu-Cheng turned awfully pale as her anger towards Ye Fan intensified.

Su Qian shouted furiously, "Now you're a disgrace. Are you happy now, you stupid idiot? You dragged

Mu-Cheng down with you!” This country bumpkin really drove Su Qian mad.

But Ye Fan wasn't anxious at all as he said to Gu Long-En mildly, "President Gu, can I suggest that you

look carefully at the part where its body joins the base?"

"Damn this little brat! When are you going to give up? Are you tired of living?" Yang He was completely

outraged. He didn't expect Ye Fan to continue spouting nonsense.

"Hmm?" But when Gu Long-En heard Ye Fan's words, he was froze for a moment, quickly called out

like he had discovered something, "Quickly, bring me a light!"

Gu Long-En's reaction made everyone else freeze while they wondered what was going on.

Old Master Gu picked up the blue and white porcelain piece once again. This time, he observed it even

more cautiously and looked again at the spot Ye Fan suggested.

After a long time, Old Master Gu finally sighed somewhat guiltily as he shook his head and said, "I'm

sorry my friend, I did make the wrong judgment earlier. Just as this young man has said, this porcelain

piece is indeed a fake.”

What?

Old Master Gu's words were like huge rocks that tumbled into the ocean and raised a tsunami.
