Hu Biao was choked by this, and he obviously felt uncomfortable, muttering to express his dissatisfaction, but was blocked by Gu Mei with the excuse that she needed to observe carefully.

  As soon as Gu Mian touched the jade Guanyin on Hu Biao's neck, she knew it was fake. This kind of thing didn't even need her left hand to come out and identify it.

  However, to be on the safe side, she still touched the Jade Guanyin with her left hand. As expected, the Jade Guanyin did not transmit any heat, and there were no other feelings in her heart.

  "Boss Hu, where did you buy this Jade Guanyin? Has anyone else appraised it besides Cheng Jie?" Gu Mian flipped the Jade Guanyin over and over again, then let go of it after a while.

  Hu Biao's neck was finally freed, and he took a deep breath before turning to Gu Mian: "Why didn't you let anyone see it? The appraiser said that this is a top-quality Qing dynasty jade Guanyin."

  "Is this a high-quality Qing dynasty Jade Guanyin?" Gu Ming snorted with laughter, shaking his head: "Old Hu, do you have a grudge against the person who helped you appraise it? You actually dare to say that this is a high-quality Qing dynasty Jade Guanyin. This Guanyin isn't even made of jade, let alone from the Qing dynasty."

  "What did you say?" Hu Biao widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Gu Mian.

  Just now, Cheng Yu only said that the Jade Guanyin was fake, but he didn't say that even the jade wasn't real. Gu Mei's words really stimulated him greatly.

  "I'm telling you, this Guanyin is not made of jade, but rather a stone imitation, and it's even a small workshop product that can be mass-produced at once. Anyone who knows a thing or two about jade would not be fooled by this thing." Gu Mei spoke without being polite, since Hu Biao refused to believe his own Jade Guanyin was fake, she would heavily stimulate the opponent.

  "Stone, stone?" Hu Biao couldn't believe his ears and subconsciously turned to look at the young woman beside him: "Lili. This Jade Guanyin..."

  "Mr. Hu, don't listen to their nonsense, this thing has been appraised by a professional appraiser, how can it be fake? The owner of that store is an old acquaintance of mine, I've also bought many things from them, how could they possibly cheat people with fakes?" Lili immediately retorted.

  "Miss, I don't know who you're referring to as the appraiser, and which store are you talking about?" Qin Sheng suddenly spoke up from beside her.

  Lily gave Qin Sheng a glance: "What's it got to do with you?"

  "I'm not talented, but I also do antique business, maybe the shop owner you mentioned is someone I know. In this line of work, it's common to see people cheating each other. Maybe you've been cheated too." Qin Sheng gave Lily a way out, without directly accusing her of colluding with others to cheat Hu Biao.

  Gu Mei also took a step forward and leaned in closer to examine the bangle on Lily's hand.

  "What are you doing?" Lili suddenly withdrew her hand and looked at Gu Mian with a guarded expression.

  "I just think Miss's bangle seems to have some problems too." Gu Mian smiled.

  Hu Biao heard this and grabbed the hand with the bangle on it, staring at Gu Mian: "You take a look. Is this jade bangle real or not."

  "Jade bangle?" Gu Ming looked at Hu Biao with feigned surprise, clicking his tongue: "Boss Hu, this is not some good jade bangle. It's just an ordinary stone that's been treated with chemicals to make it look like that. A genuine jade bangle with such transparency would cost at least a few million, and even then, it's hard to come by."

  "You're talking nonsense, how could this bracelet be washed out with medicine water made of stone!" Lily glared at Gu Mian fiercely. Then she hastily pulled Hu Biao's hand: "Boss Hu, look at what she's saying. A mouthful of nonsense."

  Gu Mei listened to Lily's words and didn't get annoyed, she just stood on one side smiling.

  It was Hu Biao who heard Gu Mei's words, his heart sank, and his gaze swept around Lili's body before turning to look at Qin Sheng: "My Yu Guangyan and jade bangle were both bought from a store called Yumin Pavilion."

  Qin Sheng thought for a moment, shook his head: "I haven't actually heard of this shop's name, I have some knowledge of the slightly famous antique shops in the city, but I really don't have any impression of this Yu Ming Ge."

  "Lily, didn't you say this store is an old brand?" Hu Biao turned his head and asked Lily.

  "Mr. Hu, that store is really an old brand. However, it's not a local old brand, they just opened a branch here." Lili said with a dry smile, her expression slightly flustered.

  This Hu Biao is so arrogant. But he's not stupid, after hearing Lily's words. A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, and he didn't care about being polite anymore, with a hint of urgency in his eyes, looking at Gu Mian: "You say my Jade Guanyin is made of stone, what makes you say that?"

  "This thing is not as heavy as it should be, considering its size. It doesn't have the smooth feeling of jade either. When you rub it repeatedly, it still feels rough. Besides, you said this Guanyin is from the Qing dynasty, but judging from its craftsmanship and shape, it's definitely not from that era. Especially this hole, it's so smooth, obviously made by a machine. The patina looks a bit real, but that's probably fake too." Gu Xiang shook his head and continued, "Huo Lao Ban, this thing really doesn't look bad, Cheng Jie was right. If you don't believe me, you can take it to a professional appraisal place or find another appraiser to take a look. However... it's better not to ask those so-called acquaintances."

  Everyone has said it so bluntly, if Hu Biao still doesn't understand, then she might as well have lived these years in vain.

  "If Mr. Hu is willing, he can go to the well-known Hongyun Appraisal Firm in the city and tell them that I, Qin Sheng, introduced you to them. You shouldn't have to wait in line and will likely get the results quickly." Qin Sheng was wearing a tracksuit at this time and didn't have any business cards on him, so he couldn't hand one over to Hu Biao.

  Hu Biao looked up at Qin Sheng, furrowed his brow, and didn't say anything. He simply pulled out several red banknotes from his bag and placed them on the table beside him, then took Lili's hand and walked outside.

  "Mr. Hu, what's wrong with you? You're hurting me..." Lili struggled all the way, her face looking very uncomfortable.

  Hu Biao's ears were ringing and he didn't hear anything, pulling Lily along as they walked. People around them who heard the commotion only whispered a few words to each other, but no one came forward to ask what was going on.

  Gu Meng was slightly surprised that Hu Biao didn't continue to pester her, but looking at his expression, it seemed he had believed her words. At this moment, he either went to find someone else to appraise the jade or took Lily to find the person who sold him the jade.

  As for the money Hu Biao put on the table, it was obviously the appraisal fee for Cheng Yu.

  Gu Mian didn't have a good impression of Hu Biao, so she walked up to him herself, took the money in her hand, and then handed it over to Cheng Yu: "Cheng Jie, this is your appraisal fee, take it. Fortunately, that old boss Hu isn't too shameless, if he could even welch on the appraisal fee, that would be truly laughable."

  Cheng Yu looked at the money in his hand, which was obviously more than the agreed amount, and wanted to give some to Gu Mian: "This is not just my appraisal fee, I dare not take it all."

  Gu Mei naturally refused to accept it, shaking her head repeatedly: "This is what you deserve, and it has nothing to do with me. Those unpleasant words from Old Hu are also a kind of spiritual loss compensation."

  Because the money wasn't a lot, and after pushing back and forth, it seemed somewhat awkward. Seeing Gu Mian insisting on not accepting it, Cheng Yu didn't know what to say either.

  "Qin Sheng, I thought it was strange just now. Why are you staring at Lili all the time?" Gu Mian turned her head and asked Qin Sheng.

  This kind of question, she was not particularly suitable to ask someone like Qin Sheng who had no special relationship with her, but the words came out naturally and she couldn't take them back, so she could only grit her teeth and wait for Qin Sheng's response.

  Qin Sheng didn't think there was anything strange about Gu Mian's question and quickly replied: "That Lili, I've seen her before."

  "Have you seen her?" Gu Ming and Cheng Yu exchanged a glance, then continued to ask: "Where did you see her? What does she do?"

  "A few months ago, a wealthy businessman from out of town came here to do business. Miss Lily was his companion at the time, but back then she wasn't called Lily, she was called Wenwen. This Miss Wenwen is not simple, in just one short week, she coaxed the rich man into buying her quite a few pieces of jade jewelry." Qin Sheng smiled and stopped talking, some things are better left unsaid.

  Cheng Yu nodded calmly, it seemed that Hu Biao was another deceived big fool.

  Gu Mei let out a subtle sigh, and Qin Sheng seemed not to be displeased with her question.

  "Cheng Jie, I've always said I wanted to treat you to a meal. It's rare that we ran into each other this time. If you don't have any other plans, how about we grab dinner together tonight?" Gu Mian turned her head to look at Cheng Yu.

  "It should be me treating you guys to dinner instead, thanks for today." Cheng Yu smiled at Gu Mian.

  If Gu Miao and Qin Sheng had appeared a little later, she might have lost her temper and taken action. When Hu Biao pulled her away, it really made her feel sick.

  "Miss Cheng is being too modest," Qin Sheng said with a light smile. "With Miss Cheng's skills, dealing with Mr. Hu should still be no problem."

  Gu Meng looked at Qin Sheng with a puzzled expression, thinking that if they were to fight, Hu Biao's sturdy build and Cheng Yu's slender yet beautiful figure would likely put him at a disadvantage.

  Qin Sheng also noticed Gu Mian's confusion and continued very considerately: "Miss Cheng was once the runner-up in the national amateur judo competition."

  "Judo silver medalist?" This was really beyond Gu Mian's expectations, and he couldn't help but take a closer look at Cheng Yu.

  Tall and slender figure, beautiful face, it's believable that Gu Mei is a master of flower arrangement, but this soft martial arts expert looks nothing like one no matter how you look at her.

  Cheng Yu's face was smiling as he let Gu Mian look him up and down, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and looked at Gu Mian and asked: "Miss Gu, where are you working now?"
