Lv Ping couldn't believe it and glared at Chen Ziran: "Enough, Ranran, stop trying to deceive me! Do you really need to explain the relationship between Ye Guichen and Xiao En to me? Ha, calling a piece of glass worth thirty million, I'm not senile yet."
"Yes, Ranran, you need to face reality." Zhao Lan added fuel to the fire.
There was a smirk of triumphant satisfaction on Tian Chengen's face as he looked at the silent Ye Guichen. He decided to hit him further, to make him realize the vastness of the gap between them.
"Auntie, since this Brother Ye says the tea and bracelet are valuable, I just happen to know an expert who specializes in such things. Why don't I send him a video to take a look?"
Sly!
If even the expert said the items were worthless, Ye Guichen would lose all face.
"No need." Chen Ziran quickly stopped him.
But Ye Guichen lazily replied, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll trouble Brother Tian then."
"Haha, no trouble, no trouble at all." Tian Chengen was extremely pleased.
Chen Ziran became anxious: "Ye Guichen, what are you doing? Isn't this embarrassing enough?"
Ye Guichen nonchalantly said, "Honey, you have to trust me."
"You..." Chen Ziran was so angry she couldn't speak.
Others weren't blind. Ignoring the unknown tea, but a broken bracelet; could it actually be an antique?
Tian Chengen quickly recorded a video of the tea and the bracelet and sent it out.
Just a few seconds later, Tian Chengen's phone rang.
Tian Chengen shook his phone: "Everyone, my friend is calling. I'll put it on speaker, so you can all hear. Don't say I'm fooling you."
While saying this, he deliberately glanced at Ye Guichen.
Chen Ziran heard this and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
This is great, the shame is complete.
The call was connected, and a very excited voice came from the other end: "Chengen, where are you now? I'll come to you right away."
"Ah?" Tian Chengen was a bit surprised: "Mr. Zhou, do you need something?"
"Tell me quick, where are you? I'll come over now." The other party was almost incoherent with urgency: "The items you sent in the video, don't let anyone touch them. I'll explain in detail when I get there."
Tian Chengen felt odd, but seeing the other party's insistence, he could only give the address.
After hanging up, Tian Chengen boastfully said: "My friend is expert Zhou Huai'an, and his elder brother is Zhou Huairen, the major boss of Wannian Chang in Antique Street."
"Zhou Huairen?" Hearing this name, Ye Guichen felt he had heard it somewhere before, but he didn't say anything.
But Lv Ping was both surprised and delighted: "Zhou Huairen, I've seen him many times on TV before. Xiao En, you are truly impressive, knowing his brother is quite an accomplishment."
"Oh, no, Auntie, you're too kind." Tian Chengen waved his hand: "Mr. Zhou will be here soon. I can introduce him to you then."
"Great." Lv Ping was flushed with excitement.
Chen Guanghui was also surprised, even excited.
Although he wasn't in charge of family affairs, he liked to study antiques. Naturally, he had heard of Zhou Huairen's reputation.
Though the name of Zhou Huairen's brother was slightly less well-known, he was still a prominent figure in the antique world.
Less than twenty minutes later, Zhou Huai'an arrived, and he was accompanied by an elderly man.
As soon as Zhou Huai'an entered, Tian Chengen didn't even get a chance to greet him before he grabbed Tian Chengen: "Where's the stuff?"
"On the table." Tian Chengen found Zhou Huai'an's reaction increasingly odd.
Zhou Huai'an looked around fifty, dressed in a Zhongshan suit. The elderly man beside him was named Li Hongfeng. Despite his simple attire, his eyes were extremely sharp.
As soon as he entered, Li Hongfeng moved faster than Zhou Huai'an, not at all resembling someone his age.
Li Hongfeng quickly rushed to the table, grabbed the package of tea, first sniffed it, then carefully took out a tea leaf, gently rubbed it. The more he observed, the more excited his expression became.
"It's real. This, this is real!"
Everyone was puzzled.
Embarrassed, Tian Chengen asked, "Mr. Zhou, who is this?"
Only then did Zhou Huai'an, who was examining the bracelet, seem to realize he was being a bit impolite. He quickly introduced, "Oh, this is Mr. Li Hongfeng, the president of Yun City Tea Association."
"What?" Tian Chengen was stunned, not understanding why he had come along.
Seeing the confusion in Tian Chengen's eyes, Zhou Huai'an explained, "Oh, Xiao Tian, when you sent me the video, I was with Mr. Li. He saw the tea in the video and insisted on coming with me."
"That, that..." Tian Chengen felt something was off.
He didn't believe someone like Li Hongfeng would come all the way for a generic tea.
Unaware of Tian Chengen's change in expression, Zhao Lan naively thought it made her son look prestigious. She proudly said, "I didn't expect Mr. Li to come all the way to authenticate this generic tea for Xiao En's sake. Truly..."
As she spoke, Zhao Lan reached out to grab the tea, seemingly ready to discard it.
Carefully examining the tea, Li Hongfeng swiftly slapped Zhao Lan's hand away: "What are you doing? Calling this generic tea? Haha, how amusing!"
Zhao Lan was stunned: "This isn't generic tea, what, is it a famous tea?"
Li Hongfeng sneered: "Famous tea? Ha, how ignorant. This is imperial tribute tea, sold by the gram. It was specifically for royal consumption in the past. Now, a gram costs several tens of thousands and is rare and priceless, not available on the market."
"What?"
They were all astounded.
Zhao Lan was even more dumbfounded.
A gram costs tens of thousands, and it's not even available?
Are you kidding?
If it weren't her son who called him, Zhao Lan would have thought Ye Guichen hired a fraud.
Li Hongfeng ignored Zhao Lan, turning to Chen Guanghui with a look of earnestness: "Sir, this tea belongs to you, right? I'll pay twenty thousand per gram, no, thirty thousand per gram. Will you part with it and sell me some?"
Boom!
This statement stunned everyone.
Chen Ziran was so shocked she covered her mouth.
Chen Guanghui was also taken aback.
Having seen Li Hongfeng on TV, he wouldn't doubt his word. But how did this supposed generic tea become pricier than gold?
Lv Ping, thrilled, responded first, grabbing the tea: "Hey, old man, you yourself said this is our family's tea, rare and hard to come by. You want to buy it at thirty thousand per gram?"
