Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Not Fake

The sudden incident left Fang Yuan somewhat embarrassed, but there was no significant change in her expression.

It seemed that she might have anticipated such a situation before she arrived.

"Mr. Zhao, please watch your language. I am now Mrs. Edward! Is it not impolite for you to come rushing up and shouting at me like this?"

Zhao Hai snorted coldly, "Etiquette? You talk to me about etiquette? When you were with me, we signed quite a few contracts, and now these contracts can all serve as evidence of your fraud!"

As these words were spoken, the yacht suddenly became noisy.

Whispers abounded, with everyone guessing the real relationship between Fang Yuan and Zhao Hai.

"Are you the guy who signed the betting agreement with Yuan Yuan?"

Brown Edward's voice suddenly rose in the hall, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Zhao Hai's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with malice like the eyes of a hawk.

"Betting agreement? Why don't you ask your wife if that was a betting agreement? It was practically like taking money for nothing from the Zhao Family!"

Zhao Hai was somewhat heartbroken, decidedly losing his composure in such a setting.

After all, Fang Yuan had effortlessly made three billion from him and thoroughly outmaneuvered him.

Anyone would break down in such a situation!

Brown's face darkened as he pulled out a thick stack of documents from his chest. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

"Hmph, Mr. Zhao, there are things I don't want to squabble too much about on such an occasion! But the unequal treaties you forced Yuan Yuan to sign are utterly despicable! And Yuan Yuan has told me everything!"

Brown's words were extremely firm, as he saw Fang Yuan as the one who had been wronged.

Before coming here, Fang Yuan had already recounted the entire betting process with the capital circles of the Empire.

Of course, she couldn't avoid a bit of exaggeration.

In doing so, Fang Yuan had craftily turned herself into a victim.

Although Brown was in a marriage of convenience with Fang Yuan, he too was filled with righteous indignation after hearing her story.

Besides, they were engaged now, meaning Fang Yuan's affairs were the Edward Family's affairs as well.

Zhao Hai couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What is wrong with you Westerners, actually believing in such a woman! Today, I will expose her true face."

With that, Zhao Hai stepped forward, intending to lay hands on Fang Yuan, but in the next moment, the Edward Family's personal bodyguards stopped him.

These men were elites passed down from ancient Western royal lineages, some of whom had even fought in underground boxing matches.

Their physical fitness and strength were many times stronger than ordinary bodyguards.

Zhao Hai suddenly shouted loudly, and then the Zhao Family's bodyguards also rushed in.

Just as it looked like a fight was about to break out, a somewhat elderly voice suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Today is a big day for the Zhao Family, and we hope the Edward Family can show some respect. Let's resolve any issues afterwards!"

All eyes converged on the direction of the voice as they saw an old man with white hair slowly appearing in a wheelchair.

"We have seen Mr. Zhao!"

Everyone greeted respectfully, and the whole venue became quiet.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu frowned, having not expected both the expected and unexpected to appear here.

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Chen Yu paid no attention to these people, instead searching for his mission target.

This time, Zhou Shengtao asked him to obtain a red dragon-embossed scepter.

This scepter was said to be a treasure of a lost Eastern civilization that could potentially help to excavate the entire civilization intact.

"Let's go check over there!"

Chen Yu whispered, then led Tong Ya and Jin Lingsu toward a corner.

Having taken just two steps, Chen Yu realized that Tuan Tuan was pouting her little mouth, standing there full of dissatisfaction, staring fixedly at Fang Yuan.

Tong Ya's expression changed immediately, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Tuan Tuan in her arms.

"Tuan Tuan, be good, let's go first, we'll talk about everything else later!"

She certainly understood what Tuan Tuan was thinking; anyone would be reluctant to see their own mother so entangled with two men.

If Tuan Tuan lost her composure and made the matter between her and Fang Yuan public, there's no telling how much chaos might ensue.

Moreover, Chen Yu was here to carry out a secret mission, and absolutely could not afford too much exposure.

Tuan Tuan was also intelligent, she grasped Tong Ya's intent in an instant, and the anger on her face immediately diminished somewhat.

"It's alright, Mom, I wouldn't stoop to her level! Besides, I only have you as my mom now!"

Tong Ya affectionately ruffled Tuan Tuan's little head, then took out a piece of chocolate she carried with her.

Tuan Tuan took the chocolate, then hopped and skipped away with Tong Ya.

At this moment, Fang Yuan's gaze drifted towards them, intentionally or otherwise.

Her heart ached inexplicably, she was aware that she might never be able to get Tuan Tuan back in this lifetime.

Chen Yu and the others had already reached the adjacent hall by this time.

The space here was indeed not small, and the treasures on display each had significant renown.

There were even ancient Khmer Buddha statues.

At the moment, there were few visitors here, quite a number of them preferred places that were not too noisy.

Others were genuinely fond of these antiques.

"I saw a Spring and Autumn square ding three years ago in the Capital; I can recite the inscriptions on it to this very day!"

"Oh my, square dings are rare to see in the market these days, especially those from the Spring and Autumn period!"

"Indeed, I didn't expect the Zhao Family's banquet to actually have a square ding from the Western Zhou era!"

...

A group of people surrounded a huge square ding, discussing and pointing.

After all, such items were things they may never encounter in their entire lives.

Chen Yu also glanced at the square ding unconsciously, but he immediately furrowed his brows.

"There's something wrong with the material of this square ding!" Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With this remark, he instantly stunned all those present.

"Young man, what do you mean by that? Are you saying this item is fake?"

An elderly man looked at Chen Yu with some surprise.

"Not fake!" Chen Yu peered through the glass and scrutinized, "The square dings from the Western Zhou tended to be made using wooden molds with clay sculpting before firing, but this one appears to have used an iron mold!"

The old man immediately widened his eyes and hurriedly brought up the magnifying glass in his hand for a closer look.

The others also crowded around, quickly surrounding the square ding so tightly that not even water could pass through.

"My goodness, you've really awakened me from a dream! This item was indeed made using an iron mold!"

"Judging by the craftsmanship and the degree of artificial aging, this item must have been made at least during the Northern Song dynasty!"

...

Chen Yu's mouth curled slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, this item should have been made during the Northern Song dynasty, the reign of Shen Zong, and it's even from an official kiln!"

With these words, the scene erupted once more!
