Chapter 135

~7 min read 1,265 words

Xu Tian's lips twitched slightly.

A woman dressed so exquisitely, and she was actually a charlatan?

Seeing that Xu Tian didn't stop, the young woman continued:

"If you don't want fortune-telling, you can also buy something to take back. My stall is full of rare treasures, no cheating. You can pick one at random, and for the sake of our fate, I'll give you a discount."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian paused, and turned to look at the stall in front of the woman with a complex gaze.

"You say these... are all rare treasures?"

"Of course. If you can't tell, that's because you are ignorant!"

The young woman said righteously, so Xu Tian, not wanting to be called "ignorant," patiently returned to the stall and lowered his head to examine the odds and ends again.

After looking for a long time, he still didn't see anything, so he pointed to a yellow, irregular stone-like thing and asked.

"What is this? Yellow gemstone?"

"That..."

The young woman looked at Xu Tian with eyes like looking at a fool: "That is the sarira of a Tang Dynasty high monk."

"Pfft..."

If Xu Tian was drinking water, he would probably have been choked to death long ago.

The sarira of a Tang Dynasty high monk appearing on the antique street of Jiangshui, a second-tier small city, would make those professional archaeologists in Huaxia feel ashamed.

Although Xu Tian had never seen a real sarira, he dared to be sure that this woman was definitely making it up to deceive him.

"Why, don't believe it? This is a genuine product, and I can even give you a free appraisal certificate!"

Xu Tian got up again, ready to leave.

It was getting more and more outrageous.

Seeing him about to leave again, the woman got a bit anxious and even stood up from the stall.

"Hey, don't go. I also have things that ordinary families can display."

"For example?" Xu Tian issued a soul-searching question to the young woman.

"Hmm... for example..."

The woman squatted down again and picked and chose in front of the stall: "This is the foot-washing basin of a Song Dynasty imperial concubine..."

"This is the socks of a Qing Dynasty empress dowager..."

"That's enough. There were no empress dowagers in the Yuan Dynasty." Xu Tian interrupted the other party's serious nonsense.

"Oh, I remembered wrong, it should be the Qing Dynasty."

The young woman wanted to continue introducing it to Xu Tian, but he didn't want to waste any more time, so he pointed to the object closest to him.

"How much is this? Pack it for me."

"Alright!" The young woman smiled and put the object Xu Tian specified into an exquisite box.

It had to be said that this box was quite good-looking. According to this woman's habit of talking nonsense, it might be more valuable than what he bought.

"One price, fifty thousand."

"What?" Xu Tian's hand holding the box shook, almost throwing it out: "Just this thing is fifty thousand?"

At this price, he could probably buy twenty catties of fake "Yuan blue and white porcelain" at the stall next door.

"This is a real antique!"

The young woman rolled her eyes unhappily: "You groundhog, do you understand at all?"

Xu Tian didn't understand what groundhog meant, but he felt it wasn't anything good.

"I don't know if it's a real antique, but I know I'm not a dupe."

After speaking, Xu Tian was about to put down the box in his hand.

Seeing this, the young woman said again: "Then give me fifty thousand, this time it really can't be less."

"Ten thousand." Xu Tian bargained without changing his expression: "If not, I'll go look elsewhere."

"Alright, ten thousand is ten thousand, enough for me to drink milk tea for half a month."

The young woman let go: "If it weren't for being short of money recently, I definitely wouldn't sell it so cheaply. These are all my family heirlooms."

Xu Tian originally didn't hold out hope, but didn't expect the other party to really agree.

So he paid immediately, took the things, and left.

"You are the first dupe... ah pfft... collector to buy my things today..."

The young woman stretched out her slender jade hand towards Xu Tian.

"Let's get to know each other, my name is Yun Mu Yu, what is your name?"

"Forget about being friends. After all, I have no money and can't afford to be a dupe."

Xu Tian ignored the young woman's active show of goodwill, took his things, and disappeared at the street corner in the blink of an eye.

After Xu Tian's back disappeared from sight, Yun Mu Yu flicked her thick, seaweed-like hair slightly, and a faint smile hooked at the corner of her lips.

"Interesting... really interesting..."

"Mom, the bracelet on this beautiful sister's foot is so good-looking!"

A middle-aged woman with a five or six-year-old girl passed by the antique street.

Yun Mu Yu's eyes lit up, and she instantly took off the bracelet on her foot.

"Little sister, you really know your stuff. This bracelet is something Yang Fei wore back then..."

"I see you are also people with fate, so I'll take one million..."

"One million is too expensive? The price is negotiable! Ten thousand yuan! If you miss this village, there won't be this shop!"

"Ten thousand won't work? Then one hundred yuan! One hundred yuan is fine, right?"

"Eh, fifty! Fifty absolutely cannot be less."

"If you don't even want fifty, you're losing a lot!"

A few hours later, Yan Family Mansion.

Because the Yan family was in the entertainment industry, the old man's birthday banquet naturally attracted many reporters.

As one luxury car after another starting at the million-level appeared, it also signaled that this birthday banquet was about to begin.

"Look quickly, isn't that Heavenly King Luo!"

"And that one in the royal blue dress over there, is that the leading actress of Yixing Media?"

"After all, today is Yan Laoyezi's birthday, and Yixing Media under the Yan family is one of the top companies in the entertainment industry. Those stars have to give him face."

"The Yan family's display is really not small. I guess it can be compared to the big families in the Imperial Capital, right?"

In the crowd, someone sighed, which immediately drew disdain from a middle-aged man beside him.

"Hmph, still haven't seen the world. How can the Yan family compare to the families in the Imperial Capital now?"

This middle-aged man wore gold-rimmed glasses. Although he also held a DSLR camera for shooting, he didn't look like a reporter, but rather like a scholar.

"If it were the Yan family before the incident, it might be possible, but now..."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Incident? What incident did the Yan family have?"

The reporters around stared at the middle-aged man with shining eyes, just like hounds seeing meat bones.

"I've been in the entertainment industry for three or four years, and I haven't heard of any incident with the Yan family?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "Everyone knows that the current president of the Yan Group is the youngest son of Yan Laoyezi."

"But in fact, the business talent of President Yan was far inferior to his elder brother Yan Jinsong. At that time, President Yan was just the secretary of President Yan."

"Secretary?"

The reporters around were in an uproar.

Who would have thought that the current Yan Group president, who had the final say, was just an inconspicuous secretary back then?
