Chapter 1120: Chapter 1119 Counterfeit Crackdown: I Have an Identical Jade Pan Peach
Xiao Qimo noticed that Lu Mian’s expression seed a bit off and took her hand, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Mian gave a slight smile.
“That ornant looks quite familiar.”
“Is there a problem?” the gossipy Ya Ling leaned over, eyes twinkling with curiosity.
Lu Mian thought for a mont, then casually said, “I wouldn’t say it’s worthless, but it’s almost of no value.”
“Pfft.”
Ya Ling pulled her red lips into a suppressed smile.
“That’s explosive!”
She never doubted Lu Mian’s words. If she said it was worthless, then the ornant was indeed worthless.
Who would have thought that the high-and-mighty Miss Li would give a fake gift? It’s laughable.
Hearing this, Xiao Qimo’s mind rang with alarms, becoming extrely vigilant.
He looked at Lu Mian and cautiously asked, “Mianmian, how do you know?”
“Ah…” Lu Mian nonchalantly pursed her lips, “Because I have an identical Jade Pan Peach.”
As for Lu Mian’s possessions, how much, what, or where they are, she probably can’t rember herself.
But seeing it at the birthday banquet today reminded her.
Relieved, Xiao Qimo turned off the alarm in his head and nodded.
That really scared him just now.
He thought he was going to witness another new identity of the little troublemaker.
Ya Ling loved stirring things up, nudged Ye Jinwen, and whispered, “That Li Xingran keeps saying she wants to befriend your family, yet she wants to drive Mian away. And she gives Grandpa Ye a fake gift, ugh.”
“Shaless!”
Perhaps they were speaking a bit too loudly, as Li Xingran took notice.
She glanced sideways at Lu Mian and the others, chin raised.
“Gossiping about soone’s gift, truly low-class!” she sneered, “Why not show everyone your gifts instead, let us see so real quality.”
She had spent half a million on this Jade Pan Peach, and yet Lu Mian could criticize it.
She really wanted to see what Lu Mian could offer!
Ye Zhongjing also turned around, looking at Lu Mian.
In stark contrast to how he treated Li Xingran, the old man left her and walked smilingly towards Lu Mian.
“Little Lu, you ca! Grandpa is so happy today!”
Ye Jinwen watched the old man being happier to see Lu Mian than his own grandson and pouted, feeling like the whole world abandoned him.
Ye Zhongjing greatly admired Lu Mian. At a young age, she developed the RE Factor and applied it clinically, performing eye surgery on Fu Yu with perfect results.
Having had the honor to participate, he rembered the young girl with extraordinary talent.
“Little Lu, co sit at Grandpa’s table later, I want to discuss so dical issues with you.”
Ye Zhongjing sincerely and humbly invited her.
So other guests from the dical community couldn’t help but be amazed.
There aren’t many people who Ye Zhongjing treats this way. How did this young girl win over the old man’s favor?
anwhile, Tang Wenhui’s expression grew more complicated.
She only knew about the RE Factor and didn’t know who developed it, feeling slapped in the face seeing her father-in-law treating Lu Mian so well.
She shook her head, thinking the old man was foolish for wanting to talk to such a person.
Just then, Jing Pei burst out laughing, “Old Ye, I didn’t expect you to be subdued by Mian, too!”
“Indeed, she’s amazing in the field of dicine!” Ye Zhongjing then curiously asked Jing Pei, “And you, Old Jing?”
“Go! She was better than when she was four years old!”
“Oh wow!”
The two elderly n looked at each other, like elentary school students exchanging notes. They both felt like they had discovered a treasure.
Feeling ignored, Li Xingran glared angrily at Lu Mian.
She was puzzled. Wasn’t Lu Mian just a lousy composer? How could she handle dicine and Go as well?
Li Xingran couldn’t comprehend how one person could be so versatile and assud these people were just praising Lu Mian excessively.
“Mr. Ye, aren’t you curious what gift Lu Mian brought for you?”
“Her coming to the Ye Family is my biggest surprise. At my age, what more gifts could I need?” Ye Zhongjing said.
Li Xingran felt a jab at herself and quietly lowered her head.
But of course, Lu Mian didn’t co empty-handed.
She had helped Ya Ling prepare a gift to be handed to Grandpa Ye.
Ya Ling took out a beautifully packaged box that she was holding.
Actually, it was a small thermal container that she had specially wrapped nicely.
She slightly opened the thermal container to reveal a corner to Ye Zhongjing.
“Grandpa, this is specially prepared for you by Mian. Do you like it?”
Ye Zhongjing’s eyes instantly lit up, probably more than upon hearing of his grandson’s marriage.
His aged hands carefully accepted the thermal container.
“This is… this is…”
“Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking!” Ya Ling nodded, “You can quietly take it to the lab to research!”
Inside the thermal container was a small vial of RE Factor.
Ya Ling had worried it might be too valuable or leak a secret, but Lu Mian said it was fine.
Ya Ling understood that Mian knew she was grateful to Ye Zhongjing and wanted to give him such a valuable gift.
The RE Factor was only three milliliters, a tiny bottle the size of a finger, but to insiders like Ye Zhongjing, he knew its worth. Even one drop, let alone three milliliters, was priceless!
It was exactly what he wanted!
“Zero, little Lu, Grandpa thanks you both, I love it so much!”
Li Xingran, who didn’t understand it, stretched her neck to sneak a peek, finding a tiny glass bottle with strange liquid inside.
She was not convinced.
No matter how valuable this could be, could it compare to her Jade Pan Peach?
That Jade Pan Peach was worth half a million and had collectible value.
Lu Mian’s glass tube of liquid, at most, was worth ten thousand.
Could they really have the nerve to present such a thing?
Li Xingran nudged the dejected Li Xinghan beside her, “Xinghan, you must speak up for later, understood?”
Li Xinghan was still in a daze when the teammate next to her sneered.
Li Xingran looked at Ye Zhongjing, smiling, “Mr. Ye, the gift I gave you was specially chosen by Leng Yao for you. Leng Yao happens to be the closed-door disciple of Master Cen Ci, and this ornant is a collection piece that Master Cen Ci greatly admires.”
The series of descriptors boiled down to one sentence.
This Jade Pan Peach was expensive, genuine, and famous!
Ye Zhongjing temporarily put away the RE Factor, glanced at the jade ornant, and, being well-mannered, wouldn’t embarrass the guest.
“Thank you, Miss Li, I also like your gift very much.”
“I’m glad you like it, Mr. Ye. The person beside is Leng Yao. If you have any unclear questions, you can consult her.”
To give herself so credit, Li Xingran especially emphasized, “Usually, it’s hard to et the closed-door disciple of Master Cen Ci. Since it’s your birthday today, I invited her over.”
“Wow, you’re very considerate.” Ye Zhongjing responded absent-mindedly.
But he didn’t ask Leng Yao any related questions.
Instead, so guests were very curious and took the opportunity to ask Leng Yao, “Miss Leng, is this ornant truly appreciated by Master Cen Ci?”
“Did he ntion any other treasures? If we have a chance to buy them for collection, that would be wonderful.”
They all believed that anything favored by Master Cen Ci would definitely have enormous appreciation potential and value as a precious antique.
This was why they couldn’t resist asking Leng Yao.
Leng Yao smiled, “If everyone is interested in this field, you can participate in the treasure identification conference. I will explain to everyone then. Today is Mr. Ye’s birthday, so I’ll only talk about this Jade Pan Peach ornant.”
Before she could start explaining the Jade Pan Peach, a cool and indifferent voice echoed in the living room.
She looked up and t Lu Mian’s calm and amused eyes.
Lu Mian squinted those captivating eyes and casually spoke.
“Explain what? Explain how fake this ornant is?”
