Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Mr. Astir Arrives
“Not only has she seen the hollow jade ring vase, but I have also seen it.” Xaviera Evans said casually.
“You’ve seen it?” Yigol Mamet asked in surprise, then lowered his voice and asked, “Where did you see it? Do you know that porcelain master?”
Caleb Mamet’s eyes were deep, staring at her. How could he have thought that she was a weak and vulnerable woman?
At this moment, Tracy Swift spoke gently, “Mister, if you think it’s alright, I can invite the descendant of the Heninger family to try first, but I can’t guarantee that they can make a perfect hollow jade ring porcelain vase. If that doesn’t work, I can try to invite the Heninger family expert.”
The always calm shop owner suddenly brightened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, “Can you really invite someone from the Heninger family?”
Tracy Swift smiled and said, “The Swift and Heninger families are both among the four great porcelain aristocratic families and have always interacted with each other. Although the Heninger family has secluded itself, my father and Mr. Astir can still contact them.”
Mr. Astir, also known as the famous porcelain master Lewis Astir, was Tracy Swift’s teacher.
The shop owner was surprised at Tracy Swift’s connections but still asked calmly, “Can Miss Swift invite Mr. Astir now? Maybe he has some tricks.”
Tracy Swift: “Yes.”
“Miss Swift really has something—an invitation made over the phone, and Mr. Astir is already here!”
Lewis Astir walked in, and Tracy Swift hurried forward and respectfully said, “Teacher, you’re here.”
“Where’s the porcelain vase?” Lewis Astir nodded and went straight to the point.
Tracy Swift immediately led Lewis Astir to the famille rose porcelain vase, and the shop owner also smiled and said, “Mr. Astir’s presence has truly honored us!”
Having been in the porcelain circle for so long, Lewis Astir naturally knew the background of this shop, and he didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of them. He simply said, “Mister, I can indeed carve this famille rose porcelain vase. However, the hollow jade ring is a bit difficult for me to do perfectly, so I may have to ask the Heninger family expert to help. Is that okay with you?”
Under these circumstances, perhaps only the Heninger family expert could make a perfect hollow jade ring porcelain vase. If they could successfully invite that expert, the shop owner’s grandfather’s wish would naturally be fulfilled.
The shop owner immediately smiled broadly and became more respectful, “That’s great, I thank Mr. Astir on behalf of my grandfather.”
At this point, the bet seemed to have reached a conclusion. Miss Swift had invited Mr. Astir, who could in turn invite the Heninger family expert, and Xaviera Evans seemed to have given up.
Tobey Swift pointed at Xaviera and ordered, “Hurry up and admit defeat! Don’t waste time and hand over the necklace!”
Lewis Astir’s gaze fell on Xaviera, “You’re the one who made a bet with my student?”
