Chapter 1282: The Mermaid in the Mansion
The owner of the jewelry store was pacing back and forth outside the door, looking worried and with several more wrinkles on his face.
When he heard the sound of the shaft, he recognized it was his young master's carriage. He immediately felt like he had seen his savior and trotted towards it.
Fang Jianzhang was the first to get off the carriage. When he saw the shopkeeper actually coming out, he felt something was wrong.
"What happened again?"
It turned out that during the time he went to find the Wenren Ding, the seller somehow heard that the treasure he sold was suspected, so he came directly to his door, shouting for an explanation and saying that the Fang Jewelry Store was relying on its size to bully him, a foreigner.
Shi Li was carried down from the carriage by Wen Ren Ding, and heard the shopkeeper's words, secretly shocked in her heart. Sure enough, no matter what the matter is, this business is not easy to do...
But this was not something she could control, so she just watched the fun.
Fang Jianzhang took a deep breath and looked at Wen Ren Ding helplessly.
"Let's go in and take a look." Wen Ren Ding lowered his head and his eyes fell on Shi Li.
Seeing her looking around curiously, her irritable mood improved a lot and she didn't care about what the shopkeeper said at all.
As the group walked into the jewelry store, they heard a loud and piercing sound.
"You, the Fang family, are relying on your wealth and power to slander us!"
"My coral is a treasure passed down from generation to generation, how come it becomes fake in your hands? You must give me an explanation today!"
A man with a big black mole on his face stood in the middle of the jewelry store with his hands on his waist, looking aggressive. Customers who originally wanted to buy things were hurried away by him, and the entire jewelry store was empty.
Fang Jianzhang frowned and walked forward to negotiate with the man, while the shopkeeper led Wen Rending to sit next to him and asked someone to bring him tea.
Wen Rending had no expression on his face. He just picked up the teacup and brought it to Shi Li's mouth as usual.
When you are out and about, you can’t always have access to water, but it’s always convenient to drink some tea.
Shi Li didn't bother to be polite with him and finished the tea in a few gulps. In fact, she was a little thirsty when she was sitting in the carriage just now, but she didn't dare to speak up because there were outsiders present.
Over there, Fang Jianzhang finally finished his negotiation with the seller and walked over with a bitter look on his face.
"A Ding, help me check if Shan Hu is lying. I have promised him that if Shan Hu is genuine, I will beat drums and gongs outside the door to apologize to him."
Shi Li glanced at the man with the black mole. He seemed to be confident about what he was doing. He sat opposite her calmly and drank tea leisurely.
Fang Jianzhang glanced back, frowned slightly, and lowered his voice, "I still feel it's inappropriate. If the coral is real, I don't mind losing some face. But if it's fake, I'll lose a lot this time."
As they were talking, two guys carried out the corals that had just been stored in the warehouse yesterday and carefully placed them in the middle of the venue.
It was a scarlet coral that was half a person's height. It was bright in color and glowed like fire. It was truly worthy of the title of rare treasure.
"The shopkeeper and another senior colleague looked at it yesterday and didn't find any problems." Fang Jianzhang continued, with an uncontrollable hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Let me speak first." Wen Ren Ding didn't say anything else. He stood up and wanted to put Shi Li on the chair.
Shi Li suddenly reached out from under his cloak and grabbed his sleeve.
"I want to see it too." She said with her head held high, a little worried that Wen Ren Ding would disagree.
But it was obviously unnecessary worry. Wen Ren Ding directly carried her to Shanhu without any hesitation.
"Look carefully. If you can't see the problem, you must bow and apologize to me!"
The man with the black mole crossed his legs and said smugly, obviously not taking Wen Ren Ding seriously, let alone Shi Li hiding in his cloak.
Seen from close up, the coral appears even more dazzling and sparkling all over. If it were moved outside, it would probably dazzle other people's eyes.
Wen Ren Ding didn't see any flaws either.
But he felt the same as Fang Jianzhang, always feeling that something was not right.
"How about it, is there any problem? If there is no problem, then prepare to apologize!" Seeing that they didn't say anything, the man continued to be aggressive.
Outside the jewelry store, a few people gathered to watch the fun and began to whisper when they saw what was happening.
Fang Jianzhang pondered in silence, beads of sweat gradually appearing on his forehead and nose.
The coral is a small matter, but the integrity of the Fang family and the jewelry store is a big matter.
Finally, he couldn't bear the pressure anymore, gritted his teeth, and prepared to admit defeat.
Just before he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Shi Liqingyue's voice.
"Why are you apologizing? This coral is fake. You should pay for it!"
