Chapter 387 - 387 Five Million
387 Five Million
After walking out of the hall, Ye Xuan looked at Liu Yanran and smiled. “Your acting skills are not bad.”
“That’s true, but Young Master, is it worth it to buy this coin for 200 yuan?”
Ye Xuan tossed the coin in his hand and handed it to Liu Yanran with a smile.
“It’s worth it. It’s definitely worth it. However, it’s useless for me to keep it. I’ll give it to you. Keep it and pa.s.s it down to the next generation.”
When Liu Yanran heard this, she smiled and thought to herself, “Can this kind of thing be pa.s.sed down to the family? It’s usually fake, right? Moreover, it’s only worth 200 yuan and isn’t expensive. How can it be pa.s.sed down to the family?”
Although she didn’t believe it in her heart, she didn’t show it on the surface. Then, she took the coin from Ye Xuan.
“Alright, since the Young Master gave it to me, I’ll treat it as a memento.”
When Ye Xuan heard her say this, he naturally knew that she didn’t believe him, but he didn’t deliberately mention the price. He nodded and pointed to the other side that he hadn’t shopped in yet.
“Let’s go over there and take a look. I wonder if there’s anything else good.”
“Okay.”
Hence, the two of them walked around again. After walking around, they did not see anything good.
Those antiques were all fake. Not only were they ridiculous, but they even sold some models from movies.
They even boasted shamelessly that this item was from the Warring States Period, that it was from the Xia-Shang Period, and this was from the Spring and Autumn Period.
Listening to the glib talk of these bosses, Ye Xuan was overjoyed. After shopping for a while, he walked out of Antique Street and prepared to get into the car.
As soon as they walked out of the arch, they saw many young men and women taking photos of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Liu Yanran took out her car keys and pressed them. The car instantly flashed with a few white lights. Ye Xuan smiled and opened the car door. Under everyone’s surprised gazes, they drove away.
While sitting in the car, Ye Xuan opened the freezer. He was in a good mood today, so he would just drink a gla.s.s of cola.
Hence, he picked up a can of cola and poured it into the tall gla.s.s. He shook the gla.s.s in a serious manner and watched the bubbles in the gla.s.s burst. He could not help but feel hungry.
Then, he suddenly took a sip. His throat was immediately stimulated as if it had been pierced by sulfuric acid, and he let out a happy burp.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly. There were pedestrians on the road, coming and going.
After a while, the Rolls-Royce arrived at the entrance of Villa Number One. Liu Yanran did not turn off the engine. She got out of the car and opened the back door.
“Burp~ Alright, I’m going back. I’ll call you if there’s anything. Remember to keep the coin well.”
After Ye Xuan reminded Liu Yanran, he jogged home.
Liu Yanran smiled bitterly in her heart. It was a fake coin worth a few hundred yuan. Sigh
As she thought about it, she shook her head and got into the car, preparing to go back.
She didn’t drive the car for long. When she pa.s.sed by the Antique Street, Liu Yanran looked at the well-decorated shops and could not help but feel tempted.
“Hiss, that’s right. The Young Master kept asking me to pa.s.s the coin down to my family, but he didn’t say that it was worth much Tsk, I’ll go and appraise it.”
With that thought in mind, she turned the steering wheel and turned the Rolls-Royce into the middle of the street. She found a good antique shop and stopped.
She turned off the engine, braked, unbuckled her seatbelt, and opened the door. It was done in one go.
As soon as she opened the door, the shop owner came out to welcome her.
“Aiyo, Boss, I can feel the n.o.bility of your car from afar. What little toy are you going to buy today?”
To rich people, some not-so-expensive antiques could only be toys. Only those with a certain sentimental value could be called collections.
Liu Yanran straightened her back and walked straight into the shop without saying anything.
When she entered the shop and sat on the sofa, the moment she sat down, a cup of fragrant Tieguanyin tea was placed in front of her.
The female receptionist bowed 90 degrees. “Boss, please enjoy your tea. If you need anything, just let me know.”
With that, she left with the tea tray.
Liu Yanran looked at the tea and nodded. The service of this shop was not bad. Then, she observed her surroundings.
The decorations in the shop were elegant and dim. They were brown in color and had a natural aura.
There were many transparent gla.s.s cabinets by the wall. Inside were some especially expensive antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, as well as some porcelain.
On the wall behind the counter hung an abacus that was more than two meters long. This abacus was dark green and exuded an ancient feeling.
At this moment, the boss walked over and sat opposite Liu Yanran. He pointed at the porcelain in the gla.s.s cabinet not far away and introduced the item.
“That’s the Qianlong Pink Heart-Changing Bottle. This bottle is very mysterious. It’s an inner bottle that can be rotated inside the hollow bottle. When you rotate the inner bottle, you can see different scenes through the hole in the outer bottle.”
The boss glanced at Liu Yanran and smiled.
“However, this is only a fake. I don’t know who made it. I was surprised that it could already be faked, so I kept it. Treat it as a memorial to the real thing.”
Liu Yanran nodded slightly, not fully understanding. She did not know much about these antiques, so she naturally did not understand what the boss was talking about.
Hence, she casually said, “Then why don’t you collect the real thing? I can tell that you like this bottle very much.”
“Aiyo! My big boss.”
“You’re driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended edition at such a young age, so you naturally don’t feel any pressure. How can you dare to think about a commoner like me?”
As she spoke, Liu Yanran took out the ancient coin from her small pocket. She opened her hand and looked at the boss.
“Help me see if this coin is real or fake and how much it’s worth.”
When the boss saw this, he smiled and carefully took the coins with both hands. As soon as he took a look, he frowned.
“Eh”
The boss realized that there was something wrong with the coin. He placed the coin in front of his nose and sniffed it. Then, he scratched the rusty color on it. Then, he flicked the coin and put it in front of his ear to listen.
All of his actions were exactly the same as what Ye Xuan did previously.
After a while, the boss suddenly looked up at Liu Yanran with a solemn expression and spoke with a trembling voice.
“This This is the authentic Double Dragon Longevity Coin. Look at the words ‘Kuping 7.2 yuan’ on it. It’s a coin forged to commemorate the Empress Dowager’s seventieth birthday. It’s worth five million yuan! Where where did you get it?”
Five million?!!
Liu Yanran’s heart skipped a beat. Was this coin worth five million??
