1265 Where’s The Real Porcelain Sculpture?
Xia Mengyan suddenly looked up and shot a look at the few people in the crowd. They nodded at her and prepared to take action.
Xia Cheng was originally worried that Qiao Xi would screw up this matter. Now that he saw the porcelain sculpture, his expression eased up a little. However, he still did not understand what Qiao Xi’s words just now meant.
This porcelain sculpture was clearly so stunning. Be it in terms of carving skills or the color of the work, it was almost perfect.
At this moment, amidst everyone’s praise, a male voice suddenly sounded. “This isn’t Young Master Luo’s porcelain sculpture! This is a fake! It’s fake!”
The moment that was said, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone was stunned for a long time before a huge commotion erupted.
A fake? How was that possible?
Everyone looked at the man who spoke just now in surprise. Immediately after, Xia Mengyan stood up. Her voice was gentle but a little stern. “What nonsense are you talking about?! Who allowed you to cause trouble at Xia Corporation’s opening ceremony?! My sister personally brought this porcelain sculpture from Young Master Luo. What right do you have to say that it’s a fake?”????????????.c??
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly looked at Qiao Xi and comforted her softly. “Xi Xi, you don’t have to worry. This person was definitely sent by a compet.i.tor to cause trouble. How could the porcelain sculpture you bring back be a fake?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man stood up and said indignantly, “Miss Xia, Chairman Xia, I’m sure that this porcelain sculpture is a fake! I’m a porcelain aficionado lover. I’ve observed all the porcelain sculptures in the Luo family. This piece definitely wasn’t carved by Young Master Luo!
“Although the craftsmans.h.i.+p is very good and the carving skills are not bad, they’re still inferior to Young Master Luo. Moreover, Young Master Luo’s porcelain sculptures all have a special mark, but this porcelain sculpture is clean without any marks.
“Look carefully. The patterns on it are peach blossoms. Anyone who knows porcelain sculptures knows that Young Master Luo doesn’t sculpt peach blossoms, so this definitely wasn’t sculpted by him!
“Miss Qiao, you took a fake and pretended that it was the work of Young Master Luo. Aren’t you afraid of angering the Luo family?”
Everyone from Xia Corporation turned pale and trembled in fear. They did not know much about porcelain sculptures, but hearing this man’s words, they believed him.
Xia Mengyan’s expression changed as she pointed at the man and berated, “Nonsense! Xi Xi is the person in charge that Young Master Luo has acknowledged. All the matters are handed to her to handle. Moreover, Young Master Luo said earlier that he would hand the porcelain sculpture to the person in charge. How could Xi Xi fool us with a fake?
“You said that Xi Xi has a fake, so where’s the real one?”
The man understood Xia Mengyan’s meaning and said indignantly, “I’m not the person in charge, so how would I know where the real piece is? You should ask Miss Qiao. After all, she was in charge of the porcelain sculpture from the beginning to the end. She’s also the one who’s coordinating the collaboration between the two families. Perhaps only she knows where the porcelain sculpture is.
“The porcelain sculptures that Young Master Luo personally carved are very expensive! Although the porcelain sculpture in Miss Qiao’s hand is also very exquisite, it’s only about 100,000 yuan. Miss Qiao, you made a good deal by selling the real thing and using this sculpture that costs 100,000 yuan to pa.s.s off as the real thing. You must’ve made an immeasurable amount of money!”
“Investigate her! She must be profiting from this!”
Everyone shot their gazes at Qiao Xi, and their shock carried a trace of doubt.
Could it be that Qiao Xi had really sold the real porcelain sculpture?
Suddenly, someone said disdainfully, “That makes sense! I heard that Young Master Luo hasn’t been in Li City for the past two days, and no one else has seen the porcelain sculpture. Miss Qiao is the only one who can contact the Luo family. No one else knows what the porcelain sculpture looks like. Even if she sells the real porcelain sculpture, no one will find out.”
The few people Xia Mengyan had arranged to provoke the crowd said, “Young Master Luo doesn’t know how to carve peach blossoms!”
“Young Master Luo’s signature mark isn’t on it! Moreover, I specialize in porcelain carving, and I’ve studied Young Master Luo’s work. This isn’t Young Master Luo’s work at all!”
“Young Master Luo personally gave the porcelain sculpture to Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao probably couldn’t resist the temptation and secretly sold the porcelain sculpture. Then, she bought a fake to fool us. She just didn’t expect to get exposed.”
“What kind of person did Xia Corporation choose to be the person in charge?! It’s really too embarra.s.sing! She actually sold the porcelain sculpture Young Master Luo gave her for money. How capable she is!”
Xia Cheng’s expression was gloomy like ink. The muscles on his face trembled slightly as he glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. “Tell me what exactly is going on. Where’s the porcelain sculpture Young Master Luo gave you?”
With an angry roar, the entire venue instantly fell silent. Xia Cheng, who had always been calm, could not help but be overwhelmed by anger. He glared fiercely at Qiao Xi and gritted his teeth. If it were not for the fact that all the guests were still present, he would definitely not be able to help but rush over and slap Qiao Xi.
