Chapter 483: A Fake
"Fei Fei, that's too expensive." Long Shen was shocked by how fast Liu Fei Fei handed the money. It was too much even for a statue for this.
Liu Fei Fei asked, "But do you want it?"
Long Shen nodded, "Mmhmm. I like it." He was planning to give it to the head of the Bai family as a gift. The statue was beautiful.
"Then 1 million is nothing." Liu Fei Fei said. As long as Long Shen liked something, Liu Fei Fei would buy it for him.
...
"Thank you for the-" Bai Geming thought the jade looked well crafted. When he picked it up, his happy expression turned blank.
"What's the matter, grandfather?" Bai Xiaoqing looked in worry, wondering what was wrong.
Bai Geming didn't answer and turned to Huang Muyang, "You hold onto it."
"Huh?" Huang Muyang gave him a weird face. When were you so generous? He would never let him touch his jade antiques. This was a surprise.
"Shut up and hold it." Huang Muyang held onto the dragon statue. And he made a blank expression too.
"What do you think?"
"It's a fake." Huang Muyang didn't sugarcoat it as he revealed the truth. Long Shen's face turned blank,
"It's fake? Elders, how could you be sure?" Long Shen blurted out. Their sudden answer made him lose his cool.
And his words caused Huang Muyang and Bai Geming's faces to darken.
Huang Muyang nodded, "You're right. This could be fake. One thing to know is that it's lighter than it should be."
Jade was a heavy stone. From the size of the dragon statue, it didn't match the weight. It was too light.
"But weight alone isn't enough to say that it's fake. Bolin, go grab me a jade piece from my collection." Bai Geming added.
"Understood, sir." Fu Bolin left for a few seconds before returning with a small jade piece.
Bai Geming explained to Long Shen, "Another way to test whether or not this jade is fake is by tapping it onto a real jade. An authentic jade should have a heavy resonance sound."
Like that, Bai Geming tapped the dragon statue onto the authentic jade. There was a heavy resonating sound from the jade Fu Bolin brought. But for Long Shen's jade, it wasn't the same sound.
"..."
"Another way to test if it's real or not is the scratch test. Real jade doesn't scratch easily." Bai Geming started to use his nails. And when he did, small flakes were coming off the statue.
"Do you still think your jade is real?" Bai Geming directed his question to Long Shen. When Long Shen asked them if they were wrong, that hit the two elder's pride.
They were jade lovers. How could they not know if it was authentic or not?
Long Shen didn't know what to say. He wanted to explain what was going on. But,
"To think he would bring a fake jade in front of two jade lovers."
"Why didn't he get a jeweler to authenticate him?"
"What an idiot."
There was mocking and ridicule coming at him from all sides. But this was nothing compared to the look he was getting with Liu Dingxiang and Meng Guang.
Their expressions were pitch-black. Long Shen was making the Liu family's reputation go up in flames.
"This little idiot." And Liu Shoushan was the one who voiced it.
"There, there. Calm down." Lu Aotian tried his best to calm him down.
