Chapter 1292 - 1292 Jewelry Appraisal Master
1292 Jewelry Appraisal Master
On the other hand, He Wenxian’s expression was slightly cold when she saw that Qiao Xi was stubborn, but her tone was still gentle. “Xi Xi, it’s useless even if you don’t admit it now. After all, it’s not good for your reputation!”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at He Wenxian with a subtle gaze.
He Wenxian smiled confidently. Although her necklace was not the real one, Qiao Xi’s necklace was definitely fake as well. She knew that Qiao Xi was a jewelry designer, but so what? Who said that jewelry designers could not wear fakes? Perhaps she was the one who imitated it and was confident that she could make it look real. Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
Qiao Xi suddenly spoke with an extremely calm tone, “Miss He, what should I admit to? Why must you force me to admit it? If you suspect that my necklace is fake, you can get a professional to appraise it. We’ll know the truth then.”
!!
Everyone suddenly reacted. They might not be able to tell if the jewelry was real or fake, but there were professional jewelry appraisers. Everyone here would know if the necklace was real or fake after getting someone to check it.
Someone voiced out, “But… very few people have seen Scorching Heart. If someone hasn’t seen it before, how can they judge if it’s real or fake? I don’t think the gems on Miss Qiao’s necklace look fake. If the gems are all real, but there’s a small difference in the necklace, who will be able to tell?”
Even so, everyone still thought that the necklace Qiao Xi was wearing was fake. Presumably, Qiao Xi had spent a lot of money to replicate this necklace, but a fake was a fake. She was clearly here today to ruin the scene!
“Then who do you think is suitable to appraise it, Miss Qiao? If you casually find an appraiser, we won’t be able to tell if the necklace is real or fake.”
Qiao Xi’s eyes were bright like stars as she gently swirled the contents of the glass in her hand with a carefree appearance.
He Wenxian seemed to be in a dilemma. “This idea isn’t…”
“Wenxian, quickly get the bodyguards to pull this woman to the lounge and get her to take off the necklace. Don’t let her cause trouble in the banquet hall anymore. You’ve already given her face, but she doesn’t know what’s good for her!”
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “Miss He, you concluded that my necklace is fake, and you even want to chase me out of the banquet hall. The threshold for this He family’s charity banquet is quite high!”
Everyone could hear Qiao Xi’s strange tone. Before He Wenxian could speak, a young lady who was trying to curry favor with her stood up to defend the injustice. “Miss Qiao, you should know that you have to donate money or things to attend the charity banquet. What are you donating? Could it be that it’s the fake necklace you’re wearing? If you don’t have any expensive jewelry, you can choose not to wear it. Why would you wear a fake to the banquet? Who are you trying to disgust?
“You’re just afraid of losing your dignity if you don’t admit it, but even if you don’t admit it, we’ll still believe Miss He. After all, you’re just—”
Before she could finish, a clear and hearty voice came from afar. However, there was a trace of impatience in this voice. “Why are you so noisy?!”
The huge banquet hall instantly fell silent. The daughters beside He Wenxian exclaimed. They all recognized the young and handsome man in front of them—Cheng Juan, the jewelry appraiser.
Cheng Juan looked to be in his 20s, but he was already an internationally renowned jewelry appraiser who had won countless awards overseas. Moreover, he had never made a mistake in his career. He very quickly became a top figure in the jewelry industry.
A year ago, he returned to the country to develop his career and had been operating in the capital. What everyone was most afraid of was not him but the noble families who were inextricably linked to him. Cheng Juan was protected by those noble families, so no one dared to easily offend him.
The young lady’s name was Lan Rong. When she saw Cheng Juan appear, she immediately cowered and said while trembling, “M-Mr. Cheng, I’m really sorry to have disturbed you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she glared at Qiao Xi unwillingly and said in a hoarse voice, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have spoken so loudly. It’s all your fault for disturbing Mr. Cheng!”
Qiao Xi was speechless to the extreme. This woman was so good at pushing the blame. How could Qiao Xi be blamed for such a small matter?
After a few seconds of silence, everyone’s eyes landed on Cheng Juan. Didn’t Miss Qiao want to find a professional to appraise it? Mr. Cheng was the top jewelry appraiser and had never made a mistake. Moreover, with his strength and reputation, he would definitely be able to differentiate the two necklaces.
Lan Rong knew that Cheng Juan’s identity was extraordinary. Afraid of offending him, she hurriedly explained, “Mr. Cheng, I shouldn’t have made a fuss, but I just couldn’t stand it anymore.”
