Chapter 1023: 1023
Gu Ning took out a box with real antiques inside from the telepathic eye space, then walked into the antique street . On her way inside, Gu Ning heard a boy crying in a distance . She looked over and found that a 12-year-old boy was hugging a middle-aged man’s leg crying on the ground . The middle-aged man tried to get rid of him, but failed .
“You must pay for my Yixing clay teapot!” the boy cried out loud .
“Let me go! You broke it yourself . Why should I pay for it?” the middle-aged man said in anger .
“No, I didn’t . It’s you who broke it . You broke it!” The boy argued with certainty .
“Who witnessed that? Who can prove it? Let me go, or you can’t bear the result!” The middle-aged man looked aggressive and threatened the boy .
People around them just stood aside watching the drama . None of them stood out for the boy, even though they knew that the middle-aged man had broken the Yixing clay teapot .
Although the middle-aged man broke it, he refused to admit it, nor pay for it . It was obvious that this middle-aged man wasn’t someone that they could mess with .
“I won’t! You must pay for the Yixing clay teapot . It was my grandpa’s favorite antique . Since you broke it, you should pay me money . My grandpa needs the money to save his life!” the boy said .
“Get off!” The middle-aged man lost patience, and raised a foot . He was about to kick the boy, but nobody stopped him .
Right at this moment, another foot reached over and stopped the middle-aged man’s foot . The middle-aged man felt hurt as if he just kicked a hard stone and screamed in pain .
Everyone was surprised by the scene .
The middle-aged man got furious and turned to look at Gu Ning . However, his eyes lit up the moment he noticed that Gu Ning was a beautiful young girl .
“What a beautiful girl!” He leered at Gu Ning .
Gu Ning smiled and asked in a gentle voice, “Did you break his Yixing clay teapot?”
She was trapping him with her beauty .
“Yeah . ” The middle-aged man blurted out, and onlookers began to stare at him with dislike . The second the middle-aged man said that, he realized that he shouldn’t have blurted it out and changed his words at once . “No, I didn’t . He broke it himself . ”
“It was you, not me, who broke it!” The boy who was still on the ground argued in annoyance .
“Get back to your feet now . I’ll help you,” Gu Ning said to the boy .
Gu Ning was the first one who had the courage to side with him, so the boy chose to trust her and got back to his feet .
Afterwards, Gu Ning turned to face the middle-aged man and put on a cold expression . “You didn’t? I think that everyone heard what you just said . ”
Gu Ning understood that the boy told the truth and the middle-aged man must have broken the Yixing clay teapot, but no one here dared to annoy the middle-aged man .
It was highly possible that this middle-aged man was influential so nobody was willing to mess with him .
If the Yixing clay teapot was a fake, it wasn’t a big deal, but it was real, and the boy’s grandfather needed the money to save his life! In that case, Gu Ning felt that she had to help them .
People around them also understood that it was the middle-aged man’s fault, so they waited to see the result .
“So what? It’s just a fake and isn’t valuable at all,” the middle-aged man said with arrogance .
“No, it’s not a fake!” The boy argued .
This Yixing clay teapot was his grandfather’s favorite, and his grandfather told him that it was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan .
“You’re merely a kid, and you know nothing about antiques . It’s a fake!” the middle-aged man snapped at the boy .
In fact, the middle-aged man knew that this Yixing clay teapot wasn’t a fake, so he refused to admit that he broke it . He actually wanted to buy it, but broke it by accident . He had to deny that he broke it, otherwise he would have to pay the boy a lot of money .
He didn’t lack money, but this Yixing clay teapot was already broken to pieces . If he paid for it, it would be a total waste of money .
“We can turn to an expert for help if you want to know whether it’s real or not,” Gu Ning said .
It was easy to do that .
“No problem,” the middle-aged man said with alacrity . “I’ll make a call right now . ”
Saying that, he took out his phone and was about to call someone .
He agreed with Gu Ning because he was going to call someone who would help him . However, Gu Ning wasn’t dumb .
“Wait a second . ” Gu Ning stopped him without delay . “I don’t trust the person you’re going to call . Why don’t we both call an expert over?”
The middle-aged man was struck dumb for a second . If Gu Ning knew an antique expert as well, his lie would soon be exposed .
Thinking of that, the middle-aged man panicked a little . “Which expert are you going to call?” he asked Gu Ning . He wanted to know whether the expert Gu Ning was going to call was an important figure in this industry .
“Well, I’ll call an expert who’s also a member of the Antiques Association, which is more persuasive, right?” Gu Ning said .
Hearing that, the middle-aged man started regretting .
