Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Mr. Astir Arrives
“Not only has she seen the hollow jade ring vase, but I have also seen it.” Xaviera Evans said casually.
“You’ve seen it?” Yigol Mat asked in surprise, then lowered his voice and asked, “Where did you see it? Do you know that porcelain master?”
Caleb Mat’s eyes were deep, staring at her. How could he have thought that she was a weak and vulnerable woman?
At this mont, Tracy Swift spoke gently, “Mister, if you think it’s alright, I can invite the descendant of the Heninger family to try first, but I can’t guarantee that they can make a perfect hollow jade ring porcelain vase. If that doesn’t work, I can try to invite the Heninger family expert.”
The always calm shop owner suddenly brightened his eyes and exclaid in surprise, “Can you really invite soone from the Heninger family?”
Tracy Swift smiled and said, “The Swift and Heninger families are both among the four great porcelain aristocratic families and have always interacted with each other. Although the Heninger family has secluded itself, my father and Mr. Astir can still contact them.”
Mr. Astir, also known as the famous porcelain master Lewis Astir, was Tracy Swift’s teacher.
The shop owner was surprised at Tracy Swift’s connections but still asked calmly, “Can Miss Swift invite Mr. Astir now? Maybe he has so tricks.”
Tracy Swift: “Yes.”
In terms of gambling, she had never lost. As long as she could invite Mr. Astir, she would have won half of the bet.
Speaking truthfully, she really liked that necklace. Although only a chain was visible, it was still evident that the necklace was valuable. It was estimated that the necklace could be worth all the Swift family’s jewelry.
Tracy Swift nodded slightly to everyone, then went out to make a phone call. When she ca back, she smiled elegantly, “Mister, my teacher said he would be here shortly. Please be patient.”
Yigol Mat whispered to Xaviera Evans, “Xaviera, are you just going to stand here and watch them show off? Wait till that Mr. Astir arrives, and it will be too late!”
Xaviera blinked and said indifferently, “Let them co. I can’t stop them.”
Tobey Swift was full of pride, while Tracy Swift tapped her on the forehead and chided softly, “You’re just a child at heart. How could you let others put such valuable things as bets? Don’t do this again!”
“I didn’t force them. Who told them to compete with ? If I don’t make them pay a price, they would think our Swift family is easy to bully!”
Tobey Swift stared at Xaviera fiercely and disdainfully said, “We know you can’t invite a porcelain master. We won’t make it difficult for you— as long as you leave the necklace and get out of this shop imdiately, we’ll let this matter go!”
“After Mr. Astir cos and this matter spreads, where will you have the face to mingle in the upper class?”
As the words fell, a voice ca from outside the door: “Mr. Astir has arrived!”
Lewis Astir was a master in the porcelain world. He usually attended various parties and competitions, so everyone knew what he looked like. Every ti he appeared, it was very high-profile, with a group of disciples and followers around him.
“Miss Swift really has sothing—an invitation made over the phone, and Mr. Astir is already here!”
Lewis Astir walked in, and Tracy Swift hurried forward and respectfully said, “Teacher, you’re here.”
“Where’s the porcelain vase?” Lewis Astir nodded and went straight to the point.
Tracy Swift imdiately led Lewis Astir to the famille rose porcelain vase, and the shop owner also smiled and said, “Mr. Astir’s presence has truly honored us!”
Having been in the porcelain circle for so long, Lewis Astir naturally knew the background of this shop, and he didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of them. He simply said, “Mister, I can indeed carve this famille rose porcelain vase. However, the hollow jade ring is a bit difficult for to do perfectly, so I may have to ask the Heninger family expert to help. Is that okay with you?”
Under these circumstances, perhaps only the Heninger family expert could make a perfect hollow jade ring porcelain vase. If they could successfully invite that expert, the shop owner’s grandfather’s wish would naturally be fulfilled.
The shop owner imdiately smiled broadly and beca more respectful, “That’s great, I thank Mr. Astir on behalf of my grandfather.”
At this point, the bet seed to have reached a conclusion. Miss Swift had invited Mr. Astir, who could in turn invite the Heninger family expert, and Xaviera Evans seed to have given up.
Tobey Swift pointed at Xaviera and ordered, “Hurry up and admit defeat! Don’t waste ti and hand over the necklace!”
Lewis Astir’s gaze fell on Xaviera, “You’re the one who made a bet with my student?”
