The Man In Rage novel Chapter 355

Right now, Women's Country was a floor filled with broken pieces of ceramic.

Everyone in the shop was just looking on in horror, while Shen Meng knelt on the floor and looked in deep pain at the mess on the floor.

Zhang Li was quite surprised. Qiu Mu-Ying seemed to confident, so she started to doubt herself.

Could these vases really just be modern replicas?

Zhang Li asked Qiu Mu-Ying again, "Yingying, was what you said earlier true? Are these vases really only worth a few hundred dollars?”

"But of course," Qiu Mu-Ying was full of confidence and pride. "Mum, don't worry, your daughter-in-law has seen all sorts of treasures. I know all about porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty and the cloisonne used by royalty. I've seen so much of such ceramic." "Did you think I wouldn't be able to tell if these vases were real or fake? Don't worry, my judgment is very good. Even if we broke all these vases here, they'd cost no more than $1,000 to settle it. $1,000 is just like one hair from a herd of cows to us. We'll just take it that we randomly threw it out of a window today and let Mr Shen earn a little," bragged Qiu Mu-Ying smugly as she pretended to look very knowledgeable.

Chu Wen-Fei chimed in beside her and said, "That's right, Mum. Your daughter-in-law isn't an ordinary person and she's very knowledgeable. She knows very well if this vase here is worth a lot of money or not."

After hearing the two of them, Zhang Li's nervous heart calmed down.

So these vases were just cheap imitations.

Otherwise she couldn't imagine how much it would cost to break three of them at the same time.

When she thought about it this way, Zhang Li immediately nodded her head in approval. "Wen-Fei, looks like you've got pretty good taste. Thanks to Yingying, your mother doesn't have to spend all her salary at one go."

The Chu family were billionaires, but Zhang Li insisted on being prudent and refused to spend money that wasn't necessary.

Besides, the $600,000 quoted earlier was an astronomical sum to someone like Qiu Mu-Cheng, but it wasn't little money to Zhang Li either.

That was one month of salary to Zhang Li and Qiu Mu-Ying had helped her to save that money. Zhang Li's attitude towards Qiu Mu-Ying immediately improved.

"But I'm still surprised. This is a very high end shop, so why would they use a few cheap imitation vases to display right in front? Isn't that cheapening themselves?" Zhang Li still couldn't figure it out and clearly still had doubts about what Qiu Mu-Ying said earlier.

"Mum, you still don't believe me? In that case, let Mr Shen tell you himself and you can judge whether your daughter-in-law has a keen eye or not," said Qiu Mu-Ying with a gleeful smile and looked extremely confident.

She claimed to be able to tell if the vases were real or not, but actually she had heard Shen Meng say so himself earlier.

Qiu Mu-Ying was putting herself on a pedestal so that she could prove herself to Zhang Li.

Qiu Mu-Ying then turned to look at Shen Meng. "Mr Shen, don't bother with those broken pieces for a while. Come and tell my mother-in-law how much those vases I broke were worth," said Qiu Mu-Ying like she was ordering him about.

By this time, Shen Meng had already stood to his feet. He glared at Qiu Mu-Ying fiercely and wished he could skin this woman alive.

"Fine. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. The one that your mother-in-law broke was a blue and white porcelain from the end of the Qing Dynasty and is the cheapest among the four that was displayed here. It cost us $800,000."

"Mum, I was right, wasn't I? Your daughter-in-law is really amazing! She said it wasn't worth much and it really wasn't. Look at what Mr Shen just said! The one you broke was only worth $80," said Chu Wen-Fei with a smile and didn't even think before speaking.

But Zhang Li's expression had completely fallen. "He said $800,000!"

"Wait...what? $800,000?" Chu Wen-Fei's eyes started twitching.

Qiu Mu-Ying was even more furious. She blew up like an angry hen and roared at Shen Meng, "$800,000?! Mr Shen, are you kidding?!"

"If this stupid vase was $800,000, then are you going to say the other two I broke are $1 million each?!" retorted Qiu Mu-Ying angrily with sarcasm in her voice.

But Shen Meng only glared back at Qiu Mu-Ying and replied coldly, "$1 million?"
