Therefore, after much thought, he decided to tell Zhao Yuan Shan about it. “Uncle-in-law, I’m telling you very seriously. The Rotating Heart Vase that Su Yan broke on New Year’s Day is, is a fake!”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan Shan’s expression froze and then quickly darkened. “Xiao Jian, you came here early in the morning to tell me about this?”
Lan Jian said sincerely, “Uncle-in-law, please believe me. That Rotating Heart Vase is fake. You might have been cheated by someone back then.”
Zhao Yuan Shan’s expression was stern. “If I knew you were talking nonsense, I would have kicked you out just now. I know you have a good relationship with Wei Zhou and you’re his little brother, so you want to say a few words on behalf of your good brother’s ex-wife. Your intentions are good, but you
can’t help Su Yan and hurt me instead. When you said these words, did you consider my feelings?”!!
Initially, he had a high opinion of Su Yan. However, when he returned home from work that day, he found out from Fan Yumei that Wang Xiaoxue had come to deliver 50,000 yuan in compensation. This made him so angry that his nose was crooked. If Su Yan was not from the younger generation, he
would have called her to scold her. It was fine if he did not mention this matter bit now the moment he mentioned this matter, he became angry.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan Shan had such a big reaction and was so angry that his face was grim, Lan Jian was not afraid. He had already expected it before he said it, thus, he smiled apologetically and said, “Uncle-in-law, I know that you like to explore with antiques and these things. You’ve also bought a lot
of them back home over the years, but I’m not saying these things without any thought. Last night, I had dinner with Wei Zhou. He asked me to remind you. Wei Zhou said that the Rotating Heart Vase was originally a pair. When you bought it back then, did you ask who had the other one? Moreover, you
wanted to bid 10 million at that time, so naturally, many people would have evil thoughts. According to current technology, it’s not difficult to produce a fake Rotating Heart Vase. So what Wei Zhou and I are suggesting is that you go and check it out. Other than wasting some time, there’s no loss at all.”
“Lan Jian, why are you spouting nonsense so early in the morning? Not to mention your uncle-in-law’s position, he has been dealing with antiques since he was in his teens. For so many years, he has never misjudged. Moreover, before he collected this vase, he had also found many people who share the
same understanding. Now, you are helping Su Yan to say that the vase is fake. I have doted on you for nothing!” Fan Yumei raised her hand and slapped Lan Jian fiercely twice.
Lan Jian was a bachelor and allow Fan Yumei to hit him twice. It wasn’t a real hit anyway, so he thought it would help him relax his muscles and invigorate his blood.
“Aunty, don’t be angry. I’m only standing on the side of the facts now. It’s not because of Wei Zhou that I’m deliberately biased towards Su Yan. A mistake is a mistake, and right is right. I can’t say that the white is black and the white is black. I heard that my cousin made a bet with Su Yan at the dinner
party, so I’m afraid that she’ll lose and make things worse. Besides, isn’t it just checking the authenticity of the bottle? It’s not a difficult matter. Regardless of whether it’s real or fake, it’s already broken and wasted,” Lan Jian advised again.
Hearing him insist that the bottle was fake, Fan Yumei lost her temper. She picked up her slippers and was about to slap Lan Jian. “Lan Jian, you little bastard, are you done yet? If you hadn’t pushed the blame onto your cousin that night, none of today’s matters would have happened. At the critical
moment, you tried to tum your back on others. See if I won’t slap you to death today.”
Originally, Lan Jian’s testimony on behalf of Su Yan that night had already caused her to hold a grudge. She had always held a grudge in her heart. After all, Lan Jian was her nephew. How could he not differentiate between family and outsider? Why didn’t he help his cousin and help an outsider instead?
Compared to Fan Yumei’s scolding and beating, Zhao Yuan Shan was very firm. He did not think that there was anything wrong with Lan Jian’s actions on New Year’s Day. On the contrary, he even wanted to give Lan Jian a thumbs up, this kind of down-to-earth quality was too rare.
Seeing the two of them running and chasing each other, the entire living room was thrown into chaos, Zhao Yuan Shan frowned and said, “Alright, Yumei, Don’t chase him anymore. Xiao Jian did the right thing that night. Whoever is responsible will be responsible. There’s no need to frame others. His
head is only a bow!-sized. Moreover, this matter is not that serious.”
After saying that… he looked at Lan Jian and said, “What you said just now was very true. It’s easy to get someone to verify the authenticity of the Rotating Heart Vase. If it can’t be verified, then send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the other person. In any case, the truth will come out sooner or
later.”
