Li Yuan shamelessly went all out for the sake of $500 million.
Ye Fan looked at Li Yuan's greedy and vile face. Then he softly smiled and laughed as he said, "I brought the square tripod to the Li family wanting to give it to Xiao-Hong's parents as a gift, but your family looked down on it, and Miss Li even tossed the Four Dragon Square Tripod out. Have you changed your mind now, Miss Li? But why the sudden change of heart? Why are you asking for something that you threw out last night?"
Ye Fan smiled calmly. Despite the cold smile on his face as he spoke, he mocked and made fun of her.
"It was a misunderstanding, Mr Chu. It was all a misunderstanding last night,” said Li Yuan as she smiled so hard that the thick makeup on her face was about to crack. She did her utmost to ingratiate him.
But Master Wang exploded before Li Yuan could explain.
"What? Are you the one who damaged this national relic? Did you even throw it out of your house? Animal, you animal!" bellowed Master Wang furiously the moment he heard Ye Fan and Li Yuan's conversation. National treasures meant everything to Master Wang.
He even slapped Li Yuan so hard in a fit of anger that she fell onto the ground.
"You stupid woman! This tripod is a national relic. This Four Dragon Square Tripod contains thousands of years' worth of national fortune. How could you be so stupid to damage it purposely? Do you know what a crime it is to damage national relics intentionally? You might even get sentenced to death if it is serious," said Master Wang angrily as he scolded Li Yuan.
Master Wang thought that the national relic was unintentionally damaged due to Ye Fan's carelessness with storage.
But he didn't expect that this woman to have deliberately damaged it.
Since intentional harm was inflicted on the tripod, the nature of the matter changed completely in an instant.
Master Wang previously felt sorry about the damage.
Now Master Wang was furious.
Every piece of ancient bronze vessel were priceless treasures.
There was no way to restore them once the damage was inflicted.
So even the slightest scratch cut deeply into Master Wang's heart.
How could Master Wang hold his temper back when he found out Li Yuan purposely defaced it?
Li Yuan was undoubtedly stunned, and her face became ghastly pale.
She didn't expect that the consequences of throwing out a lousy hunk of metal last night were so great!
But fortunately, Ye Fan had given the square tripod to her family.
So no one could hold them accountable for damaging the Li family's private property.
Li Yuan's mood instantly lifted a lot at the thought of this. Then she turned to sneer at Master Wang, "Master Wang, although you are a master in the field, don't you think you are crossing the line here? Mr Chu gave this square tripod to my family, so it belongs to us. Since it belongs to me, I can throw it if I want to. Is it any of your business?"
Li Yuan smiled coldly.
Then the moment she finished her words, Xu Mei-Feng stepped forward and slapped Li Yuan.
"Who is this dumbass? How dare you snatch my things? How brazen of you!"
Xu Mei-Feng's slap sent Li Yuan falling to the ground right away and she covered her face and cried instantly.
But regardless of the resentment seething in her heart, Li Yuan didn't dare to utter a word given the Xu family's influence.
"Calm down, Mei-Feng. It's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates strictly enough. I will tell her to leave now!"
