Before Chen Yanbei could react, Jiang Yao let go of him and ran into the cloakroom to start changing clothes.
The sky dropped money for her, so of course she had to rush to pick it up.
After changing into a professional suit and skirt, and putting on her Cambridge bag, Jiang Yao walked out of the cloakroom.
"Come on, honey, I've packed up." She winked at Chen Yanbei with a smile.
Chen Yanbei raised his eyebrows and looked at the watch on his wrist. Less than ten minutes had passed since he entered the room. You usually go out to clean up for at least half an hour. Did you change your gender today?
Jiang Yao has already stepped forward and held his arm, "Come on, husband, why are you standing there?"
Seeing her impatient look, Chen Yanbei suddenly smiled in a low voice: "Do you really want to make money?"
Jiang Yao tilted her chin up and asked with a smile: "Who would think it's too much money? You see, if Feng Meizhu doesn't have to try her best to sell fake bags, it's okay for me to earn some hard-earned money, right?"
"No problem." Chen Yanbei hooked his lips, took out his arm, and hugged her waist tightly: "I'll go with you."
Chen Yanbei was still wearing a shirt and trousers, so there was no need to change. The young couple walked downstairs close to each other.
Chen Yanbei didn't want to let the Chen family know about his recovery so soon, but he couldn't bear it lately and people were constantly provoking his wife, so he had to advance his plan - to announce the news of his eye recovery first.
Zhong Yi had been waiting in the living room downstairs for a long time. When he saw the two people coming down, he stood up and said, "Master, Master."
Chen Yanbei nodded: "Go to the garage and drive the car up. Remember to bring my wheelchair with you."
"Okay, Master." Zhong Yi took the order and carried it out.
Chen Yanbei held Jiang Yao in his arms and walked towards the gate of the villa.
The old house of the Chen family.
Chen Yanbei was sitting in a wheelchair, and Jiang Yao pushed him from behind, and together they arrived at the second courtyard.
"Oh, it's time to wait." Seeing the two of them, Zhou Limin sighed to herself.
Zheng Zhiling's face was dark, and she looked at Jiang Yao with a bit of hatred. She seemed to be responding to Zhou Limin's words: "Huh, I'm quite assertive. I only came after asking for help."
Hearing this, Chen Guobang, who was standing next to him, had a sullen face and said nothing, but his eyes swept over his son and daughter-in-law unhappily.
Mr. Chen couldn't bear it anymore and had gone to bed long ago. He was not present at the moment, so he only asked his son Chen Guobang to help the second room handle the matter.
Jiang Yao pretended not to be able to see their expressions, pushed Chen Yanbei over, and greeted the three of them with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Second Aunt."
Jiang Yao had a smile on her face, but Chen Yanbei had a poker face and didn't even bother to say hello.
Chen Guobang originally wanted to say something about his daughter-in-law, but when he saw his son's face, he swallowed his words back. He didn't want to be disobeyed by his son in front of so many people.
Zhou Limin nodded and wisely didn't say much. Zheng Zhiling didn't even nod her head, but she was also worried about whether outsiders would break her face directly.
As soon as Jiang Yao and Chen Yanbei entered the door, they attracted the attention of the rich and famous ladies on the sofa.
Everyone knew Chen Yanbei, but no one had seen Jiang Yao behind him. They asked each other in a low voice: "Who is this?"
"I haven't heard that the eldest young master of the Chen family is married. Could it be that he is a caregiver?"
"No way, the nurse is so good-looking? I think her temperament is a bit like that of a female secretary."
Just when everyone was speculating about Jiang Yao's identity, they heard the name she called Chen Guobang and the three of them, and they all opened their eyes wide: What?
Could this, could this be Chen Yanbei's wife?
But no one had ever heard that Chen Yanbei was engaged to a daughter of any family. They even knew that Young Master Chen had eyes on the top of his head, and not a single scandal had ever been spread.
In the end, it was Zhou Limin who answered everyone's questions. She pulled Jiang Yao to the front of the crowd and introduced with a smile:
"This is our wife from Yanbei, Miss Jiang Yao. Miss Jiang is from the mainland and has been engaged to Yanbei since she was a child."
What? Baby kiss?
Now everyone remembered that some time ago, there was a rumor in the circle that Master Chen has a mainland fiancée, and it turns out she is her!
Everyone's stunned eyes focused on Jiang Yao, looking at her carefully.
Didn't you say he was a country bumpkin?
If his looks and temperament are considered country bumpkins, then wouldn't they be worse than country bumpkins?
Jiang Yao stood there neither humble nor arrogant, letting everyone look at her openly.
Before Jiang Yao arrived, Chen Xibei had a lively chat with several celebrities. Now that Jiang Yao appeared, everyone's attention was attracted to Jiang Yao, and she suddenly felt sour in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say in the news today that the second sister-in-law was carrying a fake bag? Then hurry up and help everyone identify it. It's so late and we have to go back to rest if you don't sleep."
Jiang Yao didn't tolerate her and responded directly: "Did I say anything when I was woken up after falling asleep?"
Chen Yanbei on the side looked at Chen Xibei coldly, with a cold look in his eyes, obviously supporting Jiang Yao.
Chen Xibei's gaze sent chills down his back, and he swallowed his retort instantly.
Zheng Zhiling suddenly stood up and spoke for her niece: "Xi Bei is right. Jiang Yao, don't you know how to identify? Then quickly show it to everyone."
"Okay." Jiang Yao curled her lips and smiled, answering simply, and then changed her tone, "However, according to the rules of jewelry appraisal, the charging standard is 5% of the regular price of the product, and you have to pay first before appraising it. I know Second Aunt, have you agreed on who will pay for the appraisal fee?"
"What?" Zheng Zhiling suspected that she heard wrongly, "You still charge for the appraisal package?"
Jiang Yao nodded: "Of course. Although we are relatives, business is business, and there is no reason to get involved. It's like the second brother manages the Chen family and receives an annual salary from the company every year."
"Haha——" Zheng Zhiling seemed to have heard some fantasy, "My son has a master's degree from an American business school. He has a diploma and qualifications, and he deserves an annual salary. You are a person who just talks about things, why should we? Pay you?"
Chen Xibei also echoed: "Yes, sister-in-law, jewelry appraisers have professional certificates. I have never heard of a brand-name bag appraisal certificate."
This was so true that the socialite Kuotai next to her gave up and said, "Mrs. Chen, just ask someone to come over for appraisal. If she lies and lies that these bags are real and you and your family work together to deceive us, then we won't do it!"
"Yes! Why do we believe she can authenticate the bag? And even if you have to pay the appraisal fee, you Chen family will have to pay it."
Suddenly, everyone aimed their guns at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao accepted everyone's doubts and unhurriedly opened the Cambridge bag she carried with her: "Who said I am just a bag appraiser without a professional certificate?"
She took out a material printed on coated paper from her bag and showed it in front of everyone: "This is a certificate issued by the Italian Luxury Goods Appraisal Association. This association specializes in providing various luxury goods appraisal courses and is very famous in Europe."
"However, you are all respectable people who consume famous brands every day. You have never even heard of this association, so you are somewhat ignorant. Fortunately, in Xiangjiang, you are all in the same circle. If you go abroad to deal with those old money, don't expose it. So timid."
She curled her lips, almost openly scolding these people as nouveau riche who had never seen the world.
Looking at her beautifully made certificate and hearing her words, everyone fell silent. Especially Chen Xibei and Zheng Zhiling were afraid of being embarrassed in front of outsiders.
A famous lady stood up at this moment and said: "In today's news, Miss Jiang and the brand president's opinion on the bag appraisal are exactly the same, and she did not cover up Feng Meizhu, my sister-in-law. I think it is fair and fair. I believe Miss Jiang now."
When she said this, others also expressed their belief in Jiang Yao.
If Jiang Yao dares to come out to pick up money tonight, she will definitely not come empty-handed.
In later generations, she actually passed the certification as a luxury goods appraiser. Because I have been obsessed with all kinds of big-name second-hand bags for a while, but the second-hand bag industry is very deep and there are many genuine and fake ones. It is easy to be deceived if you have no experience.
So Jiang Yao began to study how to authenticate brand bags in her spare time. She studied a lot and learned that Italy has a special luxury goods appraiser, so she flew there and took a test.
Of course, the date was originally engraved on the certificate, but she used the cheating tool in the space to change it.
Jiang Yao looked at Zheng Zhiling: "Second Aunt, it's time to talk about the appraisal fee."
Zheng Chiling wanted to verify the authenticity. First, she was afraid that others would fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to ask for compensation even though it was a genuine bag. The second is to use this as an excuse to go to negotiate compensation with the Feng family. She would definitely not pay for the compensation, and if she did, Feng Meizhu's natal family would have to pay.
As for the appraisal fee, Zheng Chiling looked to her elder brother Chen Guobang next to her for help.
Chen Guobang glanced at Jiang Yao displeasedly: "We are all one family, how much do you charge for doing a favor?" Chen Guobang, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke up and glanced at Jiang Yao displeasedly.
Zhou Limin echoed and said to Jiang Yao: "Yes, in the final analysis, this incident is also caused by you. Your second aunt has been very generous by not pursuing your fault. Why do you have to push me so hard? Is it because of your shortcomings?" Got money?”
"Mom, what money is she short of? She cheated her second uncle's store in Central last time, and she usually uses the credit card given by her elder brother casually. How could she be short of money?" Chen Xibei, who had just been slapped in the face, took the opportunity to come out again. He said.
"Ha", Chen Yanbei sneered, turned his wheelchair to block Jiang Yao, and directed his icy gaze at Chen Guobang and the others:
"Is this your attitude when asking for help? My wife's appraiser certificate didn't fall from the sky. She put in her time and energy, why can't she charge this fee? Just because she married into the Chen family, she has to help? If this is the case Logically, you are also members of the Chen family, so why not pay the money together and fill in the hole for Feng Meizhu."
"If you really don't care about the Chen family's reputation, you can continue to spend time here." Chen Yanbei said coldly.
At this time, Chen Guobang and the others completely shut up.
When Zheng Zhiling heard Chen Yanbei's words, her face turned pale with anger.
The rich ladies have been yawning all day long: "It's so late, Mrs. Chen, hurry up and make an idea. If you can't bear to pay the appraisal fee, then we have to contact the reporter."
"Hmph, I think Mrs. Chen can't bear to part with this little money. I'm afraid it will be harder to get back the money we paid for the bags. We'd better expose it to reporters. I happen to know a reporter..."
The rich ladies' words were like slaps to Zheng Chiling's face. If reporters interfered again, her son's face and hers would be pressed to the ground and rubbed, not to mention Yaozu's CEO position. I'm afraid she would have to change The people in the third room came to sit.
Isn't it just the appraisal fee of hundreds of thousands? Zheng Zhiling finally gritted her teeth and said: "Okay. I'll pay the money!"
With her words, Jiang Yao started to take action.
Of course, she wasn't afraid that the other party would regret not paying her because she secretly recorded it.
Jiang Yao found a small coffee table, took out the identification tools from her Cambridge bag and placed them. These were all she found in the space in advance.
Putting on anti-fingerprint electrostatic gloves and special glasses, Jiang Yao picked up a brown Hermès Kelly bag from the ground.
She knew that this bag was a limited edition launched to commemorate the 100th birthday of Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco.
This leather is rarer than Feng Meizhu's leather. It is made of gradient lizard skin, which retains the original color and texture of the lizard skin. The pattern is integrated in one go. The special thing is that the left and right sides of the bag are processed with gradient shadows. Make color transitions contrasting but soft.
Because leather is so hard to find, the market value of this model exceeds one million Hong Kong dollars.
After Jiang Yao carefully observed every detail of the bag, she already knew it in her mind. She took off her glasses and asked, "Which lady's bag is this?"
"Mine!" A wealthy lady raised her hand. She was dressed in jewels and was the aunt of Huo Chenfeng of the Huo family. She originally didn't bother to come here to crack down on counterfeiting, but she couldn't help but want to watch the fun, so she came over with the ladies.
The Huo family was not short of money, and they bought a top-notch limited edition model. There was only one of this type in the world. She waited for more than half a year to get it from Feng Meizhu, and it looked exactly like the one published in the magazine.
Of course, they paid a lot of hard work, giving Feng Meizhu and Ji Shu 150,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Jiang Yao said directly: "This is just a fake, but the quality of the imitation is pretty good."
She later studied medieval bags and cut out a picture album from various magazines, which was full of limited editions of all kinds of big-name bags.
She took out the information she had prepared in advance and explained to the wealthy lady:
"This authentic product uses a whole lizard skin. The reason why it is so expensive is because lizards are a natural and rare animal that cannot be raised and can only be captured in the wild. Complete lizard skins are difficult to obtain. These You can get all the information in Brand Weekly.”
Mrs. Huo has naturally paid attention to the magazine introduction of this bag, and she is very familiar with the background of the bag.
Then Jiang Yao took the high-power magnifying glass in her hand and put it on Mrs. Huo, then pointed to several parts of the bag: "The one in your hand has obvious splicing marks here and here. Although it has been processed very well, it is not The whole skin is used, this is one of them.”
"Secondly, the spliced lizard skin has color differences. In order to unify the color, the leather needs to be dyed, and a chemical reagent is used for dyeing. However, the authentic product is a whole piece of leather and does not need to be dyed at all."
Jiang Yao took out a small wet test paper and gently wiped the bag. "Look, the reagent on the test paper reacted with the chemical dye in the bag, and the test paper changed color."
Mrs. Huo put her head to look, and sure enough, the original white test paper turned into light pink.
These two points are enough to verify the authenticity of the package.
Mrs. Huo is a frequent customer of major luxury goods. When she saw Jiang Yao's pictorial and those tools, she knew that she was right. She was convinced: "Miss Jiang, you are very professional."
"Ms. Jiang, I wonder if you have time. Wait until you finish this transaction before taking on another business." Mrs. Huo not only bought bags from Feng Meizhu, the Huo family also had dedicated people in the United States and Europe to help her purchase luxury goods. After Feng Meizhu's incident, she became a little more wary.
Jiang Yao is naturally proactive about making money: "No problem, I'll leave my contact information with you later and I'll be there when you call."
With Mrs. Huo's endorsement, Jiang Yao's subsequent appraisal work went smoothly. There were a total of 25 bags, and it took her less than an hour to complete the appraisal.
There are ten genuine bags among them, and the rest are fakes. As for those real bags, they are not limited editions that are difficult to buy, but they are easy to compete with others. A comparison will definitely reveal the secret, so Ji Shu bought the genuine ones.
After calculation, Feng Meizhu's amount involved in the case was instantly reduced by nearly two million. In the end, Zheng Chiling promised to compensate everyone for their losses. As for how to compensate, she would have to discuss with the Feng family before coming up with a plan. She would give everyone a reply in three days.
It was quite late today, so no one raised any more questions.
After sending everyone away, only the Chen family remained in the living room.
Jiang Yao had been highly concentrated for more than an hour. Now she relaxed and moved her shoulders twice. She only felt very sore and her eyes were a little dry.
Chen Yanbei saw that she was moving her shoulders and rubbing her eyes from time to time, so he turned the wheelchair to her side and pulled her to sit on his lap.
In front of her family, Jiang Yao felt a little shy, "What are you doing~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yanbei had already raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, relaxing it for her.
Jiang Yao suddenly felt so comfortable that she squinted her eyes and her expression relaxed.
After relaxing his shoulders for a while, Chen Yanbei took out a tube of something from his coat pocket and handed it to her: "This is eye drops to relieve fatigue. I use it well. You can try it."
"Okay." Jiang Yao took it, stood up and sat on the sofa, looking up and dripping eye drops.
The two people interacted in an extremely natural manner without anyone else around, which simply shocked everyone else in the living room.
Chen Guobang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. His son could actually care about people?
Zhou Limin and Chen Xibei looked in disbelief: Is this still the usual cold and ruthless Chen Yanbei who can eat people alive with just one look?
Zheng Zhiling was surprised but also resentful: No wonder Jiang Yao didn't take their second wife seriously at all. It turned out that Chen Yanbei was the one behind it!
Chen Yanbei had no idea how much of a shock his action had given others. When he saw Jiang Yao raising her head and not even applying the drops, she turned her wheelchair over and naturally took the eye drops: "I'll help you."
He was sitting in a wheelchair, leaning forward slightly, supporting Jiang Yao's eyelids with the fingers of one hand, and accurately dripping eye drops in with the other hand.
At this time, a few people nearby noticed that his movements looked like a blind man!
Chen Guobang stepped forward excitedly, waving his hand in front of his son's eyes: "Abei, you, your eyes... have recovered?"
Chen Yanbei tightened the cap of the eyedrop bottle, put it back into his coat pocket, raised his eyes and looked at his own father coldly, and hummed.
Hearing his admission, Zhou Limin's heart skipped a beat: What? Eyes recovered? Isn’t it said that it is difficult to recover? !
Zheng Chiling also felt a stab of pain in her heart: her eyes are healed, but if her legs recover again, wouldn't it be...
Only Chen Guobang automatically ignored his son's indifference and smiled happily: "Hey, it's good to recover! It's good to recover! I have to tell your grandpa the good news quickly!"
Chen Yanbei sneered: "Don't be too happy too early, I'm intermittently blind."
"What do you mean?" The smile on Chen Guobang's face solidified.
Chen Yanbei: "You just can't be stimulated. If you are stimulated, you will go blind."
Chen Guobang obviously didn't understand what he meant and looked at him suspiciously. On the other hand, Zhou Limin and Zheng Chiling next to him breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out they haven't fully recovered yet!
Chen Yanbei saw the reactions of several people in his eyes, with a sarcastic curve on his lips, and finally his eyes rested on Zheng Zhiling: "Don't forget to write a check for my wife's appraisal fee tonight. We'll come and pick it up tomorrow."
Then he took Jiang Yao's hand, and his voice was not as cold as when he spoke to others just now, "Let's go home."
