Chapter: 139

"Over 50 thousand?" Xiao Churan suddenly stood up and blurted out. "Dad, where did you get all that money?"

But Xiǎo Chéngkūn was completely helpless, having just shattered the jade bottle in the morning and taking advantage of his own absence to visit the antique street again?

This is a classic case of "wounded pride forgetting the pain".

Xiǎo Churran hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "Thirty thousand?"

"No way! Guess again!" Xiǎo Chéngkūn waved his hand.

"Twenty thousand?"

Xiǎo Churran's eyes widened in surprise, hardly daring to believe: "Won't it? This cup really only cost three hundred yuan?"

The mother-in-law, Ma Ran, heard the commotion and came out from the kitchen, looking delighted. "Is this cup really worth so much? Won't it be fake?"

Xiǎo Chéngkūn slapped his chest: "Don't worry, the seller doesn't understand market value. I even found someone to help me verify that this is genuine!"

"Really?" Ma Ran asked cautiously, picking up the cup and examining it from all sides, laughing uncontrollably.

Yè Chen stood by, just smiling in agreement, his expression calm.

He had already figured out that these two cups were fake products. However, he didn't want to spoil the old man's good mood, so he kept quiet about it.

Xiǎo Chéngkūn was ecstatic, speaking excitedly like a cat with its paws on hot milk: "This cup isn't even paired now. The old master said they'll bring over the missing parts tomorrow, and I'll go take another look! If I can get the whole set, the value will multiply several times! With good luck, I might even pay off that six hundred thousand yuan debt!"

Yè Chen furrowed his brow and immediately intervened: "Dad, it's okay to be greedy when buying antiques. Buying these two cups is enough, besides......"

Xiǎo Chéngkūn glared at him and scolded: "What more is there to say? You're actually trying to teach me a lesson?"

Yè Chen hastily replied: "No, no, it's okay if you like it."

When they finished, there was no need to interfere with other matters.

In any case, even if Grandpa got swindled, it wouldn't be their money anyway.

Xiao Chu ran said, "Dad, what's the point of buying so many things? These two cups can neither eat nor drink again, and the price difference is huge. Are they genuine or fake, and do we need to identify them?"

She didn't believe that good fortune would fall from the sky, that if you spent three hundred yuan, you could get a treasure worth fifty thousand yuan, so anyone could make a fortune.

Xiao Changkun was still excited, seeing several people dashing cold water on him, and disdainfully said, "You don't understand! This is an antique, relying on one's keen eye to pick out the valuable parts!"

As he spoke, he admired the celadon cup while telling Xiao Chu, "Don't worry about this matter. Today there are still many people who want to fight with me over it, and tomorrow I may not be able to buy it again."

Ma Ran hurriedly said, "If it's really that valuable, you must definitely find a way to bring it back!"

Seeing the two old men busy admiring the chicken-shaped cup, Xiao Chu quietly pulled Ye Chen aside.

"I don't think this is a reliable deal. It feels like a scam. Dad will definitely go again tomorrow, so why don't you and Dad go with me to visit the antique street? That way, he won't get taken advantage of." JrNovels.com
