"I like this crutch even if I don't have any use for it, let alone an old man."
"It's normal. If he doesn't take this opportunity to please the old man, I'm afraid he will be kicked out of the Yang family."
…
"Xiao Cheng has really spent a lot of money to please the old man this time. I don't think this crutch can be used without millions."
Everyone below was whispering.
Yang Xiaocheng also showed a proud smile. He glanced around and saw Yang Xiaoyuan. He rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a bad idea, and then said.
"Cousin, didn't you say that you also prepared a good baby for grandpa? Take it out and let everyone open their eyes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Yang Xiaoyun.
Even the old man said with great interest.
"Really? Xiaoyun, then take it out and let everyone judge who has better vision, you or Xiaocheng."
Yang Xiaoyun suddenly changed her color. The wooden box in her hand was indeed a gift for the old man, but she also knew that it was definitely not as good as Yang Xiaocheng's cane. The other party clearly wanted to embarrass her on purpose.
Seeing the proud smile on the other person's face, Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel a little angry, but she still had to put on a smile on her face, stepped down the steps, and said.
"I originally thought that the gift I prepared for grandpa was thoughtful enough, but when I saw Xiaocheng's gift just now, I realized that what I prepared is really incomparable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan on the side suddenly took a step forward and spoke loudly.
"Mr. Cheng's gift just looks more exquisite. In fact, I estimate that anything prepared by anyone here is more valuable than his."
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
Then Yang Xiaocheng jumped up and pointed at Zhang Yuan and asked.
"Boy, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning the quality of my things?"
The old man also frowned and looked over with an unhappy expression.
Yang Xiaoyun panicked, and immediately wanted to warn Zhang Yuan not to talk nonsense, but when she turned around and saw the other person's calm expression, she felt somewhat calm.
Then I thought that Zhang Yuan was in the antiques business, not an outsider or anything. There must be some reason why he said those words on this occasion.
So she turned and spoke.
"Cousin, don't worry. This friend of mine is engaged in antiquities appraisal and has a very good eye. Maybe he knows something about it. Why don't you just let him talk about it."
"Talk nonsense!"
Yang Xiaocheng directly rebuked, how could he accept someone like Zhang Yuan dictating his own things, and then directly attacked him personally.
"You don't even know who you are. For people like you to attend our Yang family's gathering is already smoking from your ancestral graves, and you dare to say some unreasonable things here."
"Today is my grandpa's birthday. I'll give you a chance to get out of here, or I'll make you walk around without food!"
Saying that, he walked over quickly and pushed Zhang Yuan.
But at this moment, the old man suddenly spoke.
"Xiaocheng, stop!"
Yang Xiaocheng suddenly stopped moving as if the pause button had been pressed, turned around and looked at the old man with a puzzled look on his face.
"grandfather……"
However, the old man ignored him, his cloudy eyes suddenly burst into light, and he stared at Zhang Yuan and said.
"Come on, young man, I'll give you a chance to talk. But if what you say is wrong, I'm afraid things will not go well today."
Everyone present smacked their lips when they heard this. Maybe Zhang Yuan would not be able to walk out of the hotel intact today.
Yang Xiaocheng even laughed out loud and ridiculed.
"If you talk too much, I'll chop your mouth off!"
Even Yang Xiaoyun was a little panicked, not because she believed Zhang Yuan, but mainly because she could see that her grandfather was really angry.
But Zhang Yuan was as stable as Mount Tai. He was confident and naturally not afraid of the other party. Then he strode forward, stretched out his hand and said.
"Please, old man, please let me use the cane, and I will explain it to everyone in detail."
The old man didn't waste any words and handed over the cane directly.
The next second, Zhang Yuan raised his cane high and dropped it to the ground while everyone was almost watching.
"Crack."
With a crisp sound, the cane broke into several sections.
After the surprise, he became furious. In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yuan's move was undoubtedly to ruin the situation and provoke the Yang family.
Yang Xiaocheng even roared angrily.
"You bitch! What do you want to do!"
While cursing, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward.
At this moment, the old man, who was staring at the broken sword on the ground with a solemn expression, suddenly stretched out a hand and shouted.
"Shut up, everyone."
Everyone present was immediately stunned.
A few seconds later, the old man shook his head, chuckled, and said to Zhang Yang.
"Young man, what's your name? You have such good eyesight. You can see all this. Even I, the president of the Collection Association, have been fooled. It's really embarrassing."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said.
"My name is Zhang Yuan. President, you were just too happy to receive the gift, so you neglected it for a moment. Under other circumstances, you would have definitely seen it."
The old man waved his hand and said directly.
"Don't, don't compliment me. Don't talk about it normally. Even if it were ten years ago when I was immortal and my eyesight was dim, I wouldn't have seen it this way. The future life is terrible!"
As he said this, the old man glanced around and saw that all the people he met looked deceived. He was immediately furious. Zhang Yuan had already put the answer to the riddle in front of his eyes and still couldn't figure it out. It was really disappointing.
Then he snorted coldly and said to Zhang Yuan.
"Young man, please tell these blind family members what is going on."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan directly picked up a broken staff from the ground and showed the broken surface to everyone.
Everyone was stunned because they saw that the so-called jade staff was actually jade on the outside and rubble on the inside.
Just listen to Zhang Yuan's explanation.
"Yes, as you can see, this jade staff only has an outer layer made of jade, and the inner layer is stone. The outer layer of jade should also be artificial, and the carving should also be machine-made."
"The only thing on it should be the two rubies used as dragon eyes. In total, they should cost several thousand yuan."
Everyone was in an uproar, and Yang Xiaocheng's face turned ashen.
In fact, Zhang Yuan saw a problem with the cane when he first saw it, because as a jade, its light transmittance was really problematic, but he didn't want to say it at first.
Who told Yang Xiaocheng to target Yang Xiaoyun?
This is asking for death.
The old man's face darkened even more, and Yang Xiaocheng scolded him.
"No wonder you make the family suffer so much loss every year. You really deserve your vision."
