Jiang Muyun frowned when she heard this. The Jiang Group's capital chain was now broken and they didn't even have 5 million on their books, let alone 25 million.
The blue and white gourd bottle was smashed, and Xiao Beichen could not escape his involvement.
But……
Where can I get these 25 million?
Jiang Muyun was extremely anxious. Xiao Beichen's behavior today simply added fuel to the fire for the group. If he didn't pay for compensation, he would offend Chen Yanping, and the Jiang Group's situation would only get worse.
"what to do?"
Seeing Jiang Muyun's sad face, Jiang Zhilan started to sarcastically say again: "My good niece, I said your Xiao Beichen is really a prodigal. With a casual smash, 25 million is gone, haha."
"Although my family will also pay 25 million."
"but……"
"Such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for our Xiang family!"
"You're going to be miserable!"
Seeing Jiang Zhilan's gloating face, Jiang Muyun was so angry that she wanted to gnash her teeth. If Jiang Zhilan wasn't an elder, Jiang Muyun would have gone up and slapped her.
on the stage.
When Chen Yanping saw Xiang Kunlun and his son agreeing, he turned to look at Xiao Beichen and said calmly: "Little brother, how do you plan to compensate for these two five million?"
"How to compensate?"
Xiao Beichen sneered when he heard this. He held a hammer in his hand and smashed it on the blue and white gourd bottle fragments on the ground. He said with a smile: "If they want to compensate, that's their business. I didn't say they wanted me to compensate!"
"What?"
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Xiao Beichen in disbelief.
Xiang Zhicheng was angry.
He pointed at Xiao Beichen, bared his teeth and said: "Xiao Beichen, don't be ignorant. It's good that I didn't ask you to pay 25 million alone, but you still don't admit it?"
"hehe."
Xiang Kunlun sneered, rolled his eyes at Xiao Beichen, and then said to Chen Yanping: "Brother Chen, don't blame me for being unkind. Since Xiao Beichen doesn't want to admit it, let him make the compensation alone."
"What?"
When Chen Yanping heard this, he became a little anxious.
He quickly turned to look at Xiao Beichen, his face was very ugly, and asked: "Xiao Beichen, don't think that you can be so arrogant just because you saved my Yaoyao."
"I tell you!"
"You have to pay half of the blue and white gourd vase today!"
"otherwise."
"Don't blame me, Chen, for being rude."
When Xiang Zhicheng heard Chen Yanping's words, he immediately became arrogant, pointed at Xiao Beichen and said, "If you dare to cheat, I will call the police!"
"Call the police?"
Xiao Beichen sneered when he heard this, and said calmly: "I didn't hit anyone, and I didn't break the law. What's the use of calling the police?"
"you!"
Xiang Zhicheng was furious and gritted his teeth and said: "If you break a valuable antique and you don't pay compensation, why can't we call the police to arrest you? Let me tell you, these 25 million are enough for you to spend many years in jail, you know?"
"Oh, right!"
"I almost forgot, you seem to have been there for a few years, right?"
"How about it?"
"Is it possible that you still want to taste the taste of prison food?"
"Have you been in jail?" The guests were all shocked when they heard this, because at Mr. Chen's banquet, all the celebrities from the provincial capital came, and they didn't expect that a person who had been in jail also snuck in.
"It turns out that he has been in jail."
"I said so."
"Why is this person so naughty? He is not a good person at first glance!"
"Who says it's not?" Jiang Zhilan heard the commotion around her and immediately said in a strange tone: "The person next to me is the wife of that good-for-nothing Xiao Beichen on the stage. She has such a good-for-nothing who has been in prison and has a husband who makes trouble everywhere.
I don’t even know why I don’t want a divorce, why would I be embarrassed?”
Hear this.
Jiang Muyun felt very uncomfortable. During the years when Xiao Beichen came here, she had long been accustomed to such gossip, but now that she heard it again, she still felt very humiliated and embarrassed.
on the stage.
When Xiao Beichen heard Xiang Zhicheng's words, he was not angry. Instead, he showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "It is indeed illegal to break valuable antiques without compensation, but... this blue and white gourd bottle is fake, why should I
Want to compensate?"
"Fake?"
Hearing this, the whole audience was shocked again. No one expected that at this time, Xiao Beichen was still saying that the blue and white gourd bottle was fake. This was obviously because he wanted to default on the debt and not pay compensation.
"hehe."
Xiang Zhicheng sneered when he heard this and said angrily: "Aren't you ashamed to say this? If it was false, you would have come up with the evidence long ago. Why wait until now?"
"Who says I don't have evidence?"
"See for yourself, what is this?"
Xiang Zhicheng, Xiang Kunlun and Chen Yanping heard this and looked at Xiao Beichen's fingers. They saw that there was an... aluminum wire on the fragment in Xiao Beichen's hand?
"How can this be?"
Xiang Kunlun and his son were stunned on the spot for a moment, showing expressions of surprise and disbelief.
"What's this?"
Chen Yanping quickly took the fragment and took a closer look. He found that half of the aluminum wire was firmly embedded in the fragment of the blue and white gourd bottle. It seemed that it had been inside before firing.
"impossible!"
Xiang Kunlun knew what the appearance of aluminum wires on the blue and white gourd bottles from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty meant, so he quickly argued: "This must be silver wire, it must be!"
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "If this is silver wire, why is the texture so soft? If you still don't believe it, you can go and test it."
"this……"
Hearing Xiao Beichen's words, Xiang Kunlun was speechless for a moment. At this moment, he already had the answer in his heart. This blue and white gourd bottle from Wanli in the Ming Dynasty was fake, because only modern technology can produce aluminum products.
"Fake?"
When Xiang Zhicheng saw his father's expression, he suddenly realized and secretly rejoiced: "This blue and white gourd vase is fake, so I don't have to pay for it?"
But……
Xiang Zhicheng then thought about it, if this was fake, wouldn't it just prove that he was wrong?
This won't work!
Xiang Zhicheng would rather pay compensation of 25 million than allow himself to lose face in front of so many people.
then……
He immediately pointed at the fragment in Chen Yanping's hand and shouted: "This is silver wire. We, the Xiang family in Yancheng, are experts in the treasure appraising world, how could we miss it?"
"shut up!"
As soon as Xiang Zhicheng finished speaking, his father Xiang Kunlun suddenly roared in a low voice: "Isn't it embarrassing? This is aluminum wire, not silver wire. It has to be taken for appraisal. Do you think it is embarrassing?"
"dad!"
Xiang Zhicheng still wanted to be tough, but Xiang Kunlun didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He glared at him angrily and said angrily: "Get off here and practice for a few more years. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
"I!"
Xiang Zhicheng was momentarily dumbfounded and could only glare at Xiao Beichen angrily, snorted coldly, then waved his hands and walked off the stage.
"Real or false?"
"Oh my god, can this be misleading?"
"Is this Zhicheng nothing more than that?"
"It's so embarrassing."
"A layman can see it, but he, a young man from an antique family, can't see it. It's really ridiculous."
"Looks like in the future."
"We can't look for this guy Xiang Zhicheng when appraising treasures."
Jiang Zhilan came back to her senses, looked at Jiang Muyun angrily, snorted coldly, and then chased after Xiang Zhicheng: "Husband, wait for me!"
"Go away!"
Xiang Zhicheng threw Jiang Zhilan's hand away and said furiously: "You are a good son-in-law of the Jiang family, so I, Xiang Zhicheng, have lost face and reputation in front of so many people."
"Go away, I don't want to see you!"
"Husband...me!" Jiang Zhilan looked aggrieved. How could she have imagined that things would turn out like this?
