Chapter 21 Lost face
All the antiques handed down from ancient times in the glass window were instantly turned into pieces. Ye Chuchu was so shocked that he seemed to be unable to react. He was slow for a moment before screaming with splitting eyes.
The sharp voice seemed to be able to pierce the eardrums. Everyone stepped on the debris and stepped back several steps, their faces full of sympathy.
At the same time, he became even more dissatisfied with Ye Shengxiao, the initiator of this farce.
"Oh my god, is this woman crazy? Does she think these things are ordinary furnishings? What a crazy woman! She can do anything!"
"Isn't that right? These antiques are priceless treasures, things that you may not be able to buy even if you have money. Well, now, they were all destroyed by her!"
"Not to mention anything else, just the jadeite in the middle, with its head and color, is said to be a royal tribute in ancient times. That is the truly priceless treasure among these antiques!"
Many self-proclaimed collectors sighed at the debris on the ground, looking at Ye Shengxiao as if they were looking at a sinner.
If others are like this, it goes without saying that the owners of these antiquities are the Ye family.
Father Ye was originally standing on the outside of the venue, looking at Ye Chuchu with a smug look on his face as he danced like a fish in the water. He thought that this cooperation with the wealthy Xu family was inevitable, but he didn't know that the smile at the corner of his mouth could not be maintained.
Not long after, something unexpected happened.
He waved away the assistant beside him, his face changed drastically, and his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
After a few steps, he came to Ye Shengxiao. Father Ye stood beside Ye Chuchu, and the two of them attacked Ye Shengxiao.
"Ye Shengxiao, right? Dare you ask me what made you dissatisfied with the Ye family's exhibition today? You actually forced you to come over and destroy the place with all your heart! These things are the heirlooms of the Ye family. They have been around for thousands of years.
Money is not exchanged, now everything is ruined in your hands! You must give our Ye family an explanation today!"
As soon as the Ye family said this, many of the onlookers who couldn't stand it began to respond.
"That's right, I have to give someone an explanation. Otherwise, if I don't know, I'd think she ran away from a mental hospital!"
"Without any grudges, someone who can do such a heartbreaking thing must be a crazy woman!"
These indignant voices reached Ye Shengxiao's ears, which made her feel guilty, so she looked at Xiao Li beside her for help.
"The smashing is done, what should we do now?"
The smile on the man's lips did not change at all when he heard this, and even the curve of the smile was the same as before, with an unfathomable look on his face.
Ye Shengxiao was already worried, but she became even more anxious when she saw this.
"Xiao Li!"
Only then did the man calmly turn his gaze away, with a nonchalant look on his face, "What's the hurry?"
At this moment, Ye Shengxiao just wanted to roll her eyes in the sky.
Seeing that the woman next to him was about to explode, Xiao Li chuckled lightly, took two steps forward, bent down and picked up a piece of debris on the ground in full view of everyone.
Such an action attracted the attention of the people around him, and everyone looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Xiao Li twisted up the fragment and only glanced at it, then threw it on the ground. Then he stretched out his foot and crushed the fragment carefully under the sole of his foot...
"What...what are you doing?" Ye Chuchu murmured.
Xiao Li lazily raised his eyelids, his thin lips curved into a smile that was not a smile, and his eyes were proud.
"It's just a few porcelain bottles. Don't say they're all fakes. They're genuine antiques. I can afford to smash them."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Fake? These things are actually fake!"
"Didn't you say that they are all family heirlooms? Are the Ye family lying?"
Ye Chuchu was even more shocked. She looked at Xiao Li blankly and subconsciously denied it, "What fake? There is not a single fake among the antiques of our Ye family!"
Xiao Li snorted coldly when he heard this, "Really? Is what Miss Ye said too absolute?"
In front of everyone, Ye Chuchu straightened her back immediately.
"It's about the reputation of our Ye family, of course I'm sure of it! I can guarantee that none of these antiquities are fake!"
This was what Xiao Li was waiting for. He looked at Ye Chuchu with a smile and spoke slowly.
"Ms. Ye, may I have forgotten that I won't talk about anything else. Just the jadeite in the middle. Didn't you already give it away this morning?"
Ye Chuchu's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and he subconsciously blurted out, "How do you know?"
The most valuable piece of jadeite was indeed lent out in the morning, and the person who came said that he was from Xiao's mother's side.
Xiao Li smiled and said nothing when he heard the words, but his expression said everything.
Ye Chuchu looked at the smile that didn't reach his eyes at all, and was shocked in his heart. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived!
It turns out that everything was directed by Xiao Li. He sent someone to lend out the things in the name of Xiao Li in the morning, and then exposed her in public!
The color on Ye Chuchu's face had completely faded, and he no longer dared to raise his eyes to look at Ye's father's expression next to him.
Only then did everyone understand what was going on today. Suddenly, anger appeared on their faces.
"That piece of jade is fake, so how real are the other things?"
"Isn't this fooling people? Making some fakes to stain our eyes? Is this the way your Ye family treats guests?"
"Isn't this shabby? We spent a lot of time here just to see a bunch of fakes?"
"It was a pity that this great ancient relic was destroyed just now. Now it seems that the value of this pile of things is only broken into pieces!"
Ye Chuchu fooled everyone with fake antiques, and everyone who came was either rich or noble. This was like directly destroying the Ye family's brand name.
Mr. Xu, the industry leader who had just praised the antiques, turned his back on the spot and looked at Ye Chuchu with ridicule in his eyes.
"Didn't Miss Ye just keep saying that these are family heirlooms from generation to generation? She still steadfastly vouched for these things! She lied in front of everyone without changing her face or heart. Her psychological quality is really good.
It’s amazing! I have to say that Miss Ye really gave Mr. Ye face!”
Having said this, Mr. Xu snorted coldly and looked at Father Ye.
"There is no need to talk about the previous cooperation, and the Xu family will never cooperate with a deceitful family again!"
After saying these words, Mr. Xu walked away with an angry face.
Everyone's mocking gazes were like being executed on the spot. Father Ye's face turned red and white, and his eyes became gloomy.
His chest heaved violently, and he raised his hand and slapped Ye Chuchu hard!
"Idiot! If you fail to succeed, you will fail! You will bring shame on the Ye family!"
Ye Chuchu covered her face and cried, explaining, "Dad, I didn't mean it! Listen to me..."
"Get out of here!"
Ye's father angrily scolded Ye Chuchu, then turned around and left the venue angrily. Seeing this, Ye Chuchu staggered and chased after him.
