Seeing that there were so many scoundrels, Song Ye helped Shen Meng speak without any panic at all. He said calmly: "In that case, let's appraise this jade pendant. Do you think the jade pendant I sent is cheap? If you can’t get it, why not wait for a real ancient jade appraiser to come and see if this jade pendant is real or fake, and then it’s not too late to say these contemptuous words.”
"Song Ye."
Lu Jingshan, standing next to Song Ye, shouted softly.
She pulled Song Ye's sleeve to prevent him from continuing.
As long as the jade pendant is not appraised, no one can be sure about it. Even if someone sees that Song Ye spent ten yuan to buy it, they still say that there is no proof, and they can even insist that the other party is spreading rumors.
But if it is appraised by a professional appraiser, it will be a big trouble.
If it is false, not only will Song Ye lose face here, but the Lu family will also lose face in front of so many guests.
After the birthday banquet, Lu Jingshan will definitely be severely criticized by the family elders, and there will be many related consequences.
As for whether this jade pendant is real, no matter who it is, they dare not even think about it. After all, it is just an antique jade pendant that was purchased for ten yuan. There is absolutely no hope that it is real. Even the identification is not necessary. No need to have.
"It's okay." Song Ye comforted Lu Jingshan softly: "Believe me, I will never embarrass you."
There was a bitter smile on Lu Jingshan's face. Of course she wanted to believe Song Ye, but in this situation, how could she believe it? She could already imagine that she would be scolded by family members, and how to explain it later gave her a headache.
"Mr. Du, please identify it."
Zhou Wenyong looked at Du Fude.
"OK."
Du Fude nodded. Although he didn't want to participate in this farce, Zhou Wenyong, the eldest young master of the Zhou family, spoke, so he had to give some face.
Hearing that the jade pendant given by Song Ye only cost ten yuan, Du Fude, as a professional jade appraiser, knew that it must be fake without even looking at it. Real ancient jade cannot be that cheap.
After all, as a big business family, the Shen family must be very shrewd to be able to earn such a huge amount of assets. It is impossible that they can't even tell the authenticity of jade, and there will never be such an obvious mistake.
"Let's see how arrogant you are later."
Shen Meng cheered up again and looked at Song Ye coldly: "Since you are looking for a slap in the face, then we will slap you in the face hard."
"Don't speak nonsense so early." Song Ye retorted mercilessly: "A business group like your Shen family that sells fake goods has no credibility at all. Why don't you shut your mouth and wait until the results come out? Let’s talk about it later.”
"you……"
Shen Meng found that he really couldn't argue with Song Ye in terms of words, because Song Ye always brought the topic to their family's industry and insisted that their family made counterfeit products, which made him feel a little ashamed.
Shen Meng's henchmen Zhou Wenyong and Zheng Yifeng were not afraid of being ridiculed by Song Ye and fought back mercilessly.
Zhou Wenyong tried to change the subject, looked at Zhou Fude and said, "Mr. Du, please quickly identify the jade pendant."
"That's right, the appraisal of the jade pendant is the big deal now. All other matters will wait until later." Zheng Yifeng agreed.
Du Fude is relatively old and is very prestigious even in such a grand occasion.
He walked up to Fan Yunying and said respectfully: "Mrs. Fan, I wonder if this jade pendant of yours can be appraised for me?"
The corner of Fan Yunying's mouth twitched. She originally didn't want to give the jade pendant given by Song Ye to Du Fude for appraisal. After all, she knew very well that if the jade pendant was fake, it would bring shame to the Lu family in such a public occasion. face.
However, since Du Fude had already spoken, she had to give him face no matter what, so she could only take the gift from Song Ye and hand it to Du Fude.
Du Fude took the gift from Fan Yunying's hand and took out the jade pendant from the exquisite small box with extreme caution.
Although he thought the jade pendant was fake, he still had to treat it with caution. Once it broke, it would not be the fault of the gift giver, but his fault.
In the gorgeous banquet hall, all the noise seemed to disappear at this moment. All eyes were focused on Zhou Fude, looking forward to his appraisal results.
The jade pendant gave off a warm light under the light. Du Fude placed it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully through his reading glasses.
His brows were furrowed, and his fingers gently rubbed the edge of the jade pendant, feeling its texture and carving.
Every trace of carving reveals the traces of time and the hard work of the craftsman.
He also rotated the jade pendant from time to time to let it catch the light at different angles to judge its light transmittance and structural integrity.
The onlookers held their breath,
Shen Mengyu, Zhou Wenyong, and Zheng Yifeng stood in the crowd, exchanging complicated looks. They originally thought that this farce would end soon, but they did not expect that Du Fude would take an obviously worthless jade pendant so seriously.
Just when everyone's patience was about to run out, Du Fude suddenly let out a light sigh.
His expression suddenly changed, from the original carelessness to an unbelievable solemnity.
This transformation made everyone present feel an inexplicable shock, as if this ordinary jade pendant suddenly contained some incredible secret.
Shen Meng couldn't help but sarcastically said: "It seems that even Mr. Du couldn't identify the broken stone that Song Ye gave him. It's probably because this jade pendant is so fake that even Mr. Du was surprised."
Zhou Wenyong also laughed: "That's right, how can something worth ten yuan be good? You don't even have to think about it, you know it's fake."
Zheng Yifeng said sarcastically: "Song Ye, Song Ye, are you humiliating yourself, or are you doing it deliberately?"
However, at this moment, Du Fude suddenly spoke, with a hint of trembling in his voice, "This jade pendant is real."
The whole place was in an uproar, with surprise and disbelief flashing in Lu Jingshan's eyes, while Shen Meng and others looked stunned.
Du Fude continued: "This is not only a real piece of ancient jade, but judging from its clear color, coating and carving, it is at least an antiquity from the Warring States Period. Look at the cloud and thunder patterns here, as well as these geometric patterns, They are all typical styles of the Warring States Period.
Moreover, the jade quality of this jade pendant is very delicate, feels heavy in the hand, and has excellent light transmittance. This is a natural patina that can be formed after playing with it for a long time. In the antique shop, such a jade pendant is extremely valuable and not something that ordinary people can own. "
His words were full of admiration and respect for this jade pendant, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.
Shen Meng's face became extremely ugly. He did not expect that he would be slapped in the face like this in front of everyone.
Zhou Wenyong and Zheng Yifeng stopped talking, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
