A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Lu Jingyao took Xu Youyou to where the crowd gathered.

Xi Ruier noticed them immediately. After a dark flash in her eyes, she pretended to be innocent and said, "Lu, you also like this peach bottle? It seems that you have the same taste as my father."

Lu Jingyao nodded casually.

Xi Ruier didn't care about his deliberate evasive attitude, but continued to smile brightly: "If you are willing to marry me, my father might give this bottle to his son-in-law."

Lu Jingyao glanced at Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou didn't expect this couple game to continue. She could only say helplessly, "Your father can afford it, so why can't I?"

Xi Ruier looked Xu Youyou up and down and said, "Ms. Xu, this seems to be your first time going abroad. Your visa is very clean."

Xu Youyou immediately felt the power of the Xi Ruier family, who were able to find her entry records! Xi Ruier also thought Xu Youyou was a poor ghost because of her clean entry record.

Lu Jingyao suddenly put his hand on Xu Youyou's shoulder: "Ms. Xi Ruier, you don't know that there are many ancient families in China. They don't like to go abroad, but this doesn't mean they don't have power."

After hearing this, Xi Ruier seemed to have thought of something and stopped ridiculing Xu Youyou. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

Xu Youyou looked at her expression and felt baffled. She asked Lu Jingyao in a low voice, "What kind of extraordinary personality have you created for me?"

Lu Jingyao said casually: “When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.”

When Xu Youyou heard this, she felt that this cold-faced president seemed to have an incredibly flexible mind.

"The eldest lady of an ancient family, don't focus all your attention on arguing with others. Take a closer look at this collection." Lu Jingyao said.

After Xu Youyou accepted this character, she straightened up a little and looked more like a young lady.

The peach bottle that Cyril mentioned is fully named "Yongzheng Porcelain Longevity Olive Bottle". The shape of the bottle is like an olive, and the overall color is extremely light pink. The pattern painted on the bottle is a broken branch of a peach tree, with a total of eight peaches. There are also bats next to the peach branches, which symbolizes both good fortune and longevity.

After just one glance, Xu Youyou was completely attracted by the bottle.

She read very slowly, for a full half hour. During this time, she took many photos with the professional camera provided by Lu Jingyao. After she finally saw it clearly, she turned around and nodded slightly to Lu Jingyao.

After Lu Jingyao confirmed that the porcelain vase was authentic, he joined the auction.

Xu Youyou had nothing to do, so she started to wander around this private museum. Although the museum's treasure attracted the attention of most collectors, there were many other collections here.

[The loot-picking mission has been opened. Please arrive at the loot-picking location as soon as possible. (Because the last loot-picking mission has not been completed, the rewards for completing this mission are temporarily suspended.)]

Xu Youyou looked at the system prompt again and again, and confirmed that it said "suspended distribution" instead of not distributing, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She followed the system's instructions and walked to a corner of the museum, where there was a collection that was not even covered by a glass cover, but was placed there openly.

Of course, the reason for this is that ordinary people simply cannot move this collection away.

Stone statue.

This statue has only one head, and judging from its appearance, it is an ancient official wearing a crown.

This collection seemed too unpopular and there were no staff around. Xu Youyou searched for a long time before finding a staff member and expressed her intention to buy this stone statue.

"Are you sure you want to buy it?" the staff asked repeatedly.

Xu Youyou also nodded three times in a row. She was not blind, so she could naturally see the look in the other person's eyes that looked at her as if she was a fool.

"There will be no bidding for this collection, it will be sold directly according to the marked price," said the staff.

The price tag says $10,000.

According to the explanatory sign of this collection, this is an antique with a history of about two hundred years.

But both the buyer and the seller seemed to know that the words on the explanatory sign were just for fun.

Another hour later, Lu Jingyao came out of the auction room, accompanied by a white man in a suit with gray hair.

"Mr. Lu, please follow me to retrieve your spoils." said the white man with a smile.

Lu Jingyao nodded and looked at Xu Youyou again. Xu Youyou immediately ran over and followed him to pick up the goods.

"You can use your car to carry my goods later." Xu Youyou said.

Lu Jingyao nodded.

"Mr. Lu, there are not many Chinese people as generous as you. You can take the things away with just one look." The white man said with a smile.

Lu Jingyao looked at the pink bottle wrapped tightly in the crash box and did not take it on the spot.

Xu Youyou knew that she could be useful again, so she put on a pair of white gloves that she had taken out from somewhere and carefully checked it.

The white man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Our family has been in the antique business for over a hundred years, and our reputation is internationally renowned."

He seemed particularly proud of his family's reputation.

But the next second, Xu Youyou said: "Fake."

Lu Jingyao looked at the white man with a look like a sharp sword: "I need an explanation."

The white man wasn't panicked at all. "Mr. Lu, did your people make a mistake in the appraisal? Besides, in the antique business, it's always based on your own ability. Now that you've participated in the auction, it's too late to regret it now."

Xu Youyou turned on the professional camera around her neck. "This bottle is not the same one we had on display before. The base of the bottle is indeed a Yongzheng porcelain base, an old item, but the body was made by a master craftsman. It's almost indistinguishable from the real thing. There are only slight differences in the details, and I captured them all."

Xu Youyou enlarged the photo on the camera to make sure that everyone present could see the difference in details. If they had not prepared in advance for such a subtle difference, they would have suffered a loss.

Lu Jingyao said directly: "Mr. Denard, it seems that your Denard family's century-old reputation is no different from a shoe-polishing rag."

When Denard heard this, his pale old face turned red and green, but he soon realized who could do this.

"Mr. Lu, I can't joke about my family's century-old reputation. I don't know what the misunderstanding is. Since it is indeed not the bottle mentioned above, I am willing to refund the full amount." Denard said gritting his teeth.

Lu Jingyao wasn't so easily fooled: "Just a refund?"

Denard's eyes were red at this point, but the facts were before him, and with many people watching, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. "I will pay 20% of the purchase price as compensation for this sabotage of the deal, as per the contract."

Lu Jingyao sighed, "I really wanted to accept this collection, but unfortunately, Mr. Denard is more interested in protecting the thief who switched the goods."

Denard fell silent.

The other buyers who had been watching this sky-high transaction started to make a fuss: "Denard, I bought a painting from you and I want it re-examined. You might have switched it!"

"I bought this porcelain bowl from you two years ago, but it doesn't look real at all. You must have replaced it!"
