Grand Collection

Kong Xin looked at Meng Xin's expression coldly, feeling that he was not pretending, and asked, "How do you know it's a fake?"

Meng Xin held the ear-piercing bottle in both hands and stroked it inch by inch. With deep eyes, she said in a hoarse voice, "That genuine product is my lifeblood. I used to take him with me every day and night, touch him, and I can tell when it turns into ashes. Come out," he stared blankly at his right hand, "this doesn't feel right, I can feel it as soon as I touch it, this is not the pierced ear bottle five years ago."

He put the piercing bottle back on the coffee table, and slumped down on the sofa, a layer of unconcealable pain appeared on his usually calm face.

Han Ye hesitated for a moment, sat down beside him, and put his arms around his shoulders, "Don't be sad."

Meng Xin's back stiffened suddenly, and she pulled out of his arms very slightly, with a hoarse voice, "It's not sad...it's not sad at all...I just regret..."

Looking at his empty arms, Han Ye suddenly felt a layer of anger in his heart. He glared at the pierced ear bottle angrily, and said coldly, "Throw away this bottle, I want Sotheby's to give me an explanation."

As an employee of Sotheby's, Mei Xue was very embarrassed to be caught among them, and said embarrassingly, "Mr. Han, please calm down. Any lot will go through strict technical testing and authoritative expert appraisal before it goes up for auction. Only Xiaomeng alone Judgment, it is really impossible..."

"Shut up," Han Ye said coldly, "Uncle Meng said it was a fake, so it is a fake."

Mei Xue: "..."

"Hey, Uncle Han is so cool and domineering, he is so angry and blue," Wang Baxian exaggeratedly exaggerated his thumbs up, and said loudly, "Singable! Crying!"

Han Ye's face darkened, "Don't be shameless, if it wasn't for Uncle Meng, I would definitely..."

"Stop arguing," Kong Xin scolded, "Mr. Han, please maintain your demeanor. If Wang Baxian can't control your mouth, I don't mind helping you."

Wang Baxian burst out laughing, shaking his head with an innocent expression, "Hey, how can you help me? Block it with your tongue? Oh, we Zigeng will be jealous."

"Just take care of it for you." Kong Xin took out a coin and "put it in his mouth."

Wang Baxian stopped talking abruptly, "..."

"Very good," Kong Xin put away the coin, "That's it, keep silent until I say you can talk," he turned to look at Meng Xin, "put away your intuition, let's appraise it rationally, this No matter the shape or the glaze color of the Guaner bottle, it is exactly the same as the one five years ago, and it is also exactly the same as the broken porcelain fragments we saw at the excavation site with A Shigong, what evidence do you have to prove that it is a fake?"

Meng Xin lowered her eyelids, looked at the ear bottle silently, and shook her head, "No."

"Zigeng, old Wang, what do you think?"

Luo Zigeng said, "I still have the same opinion. There is no evidence that it is a fake. I also rely on my intuition."

Wang Baxian raised an eyebrow, "Can I talk now?"

Kong Xin turned cold, "You are already talking."

"...It's not cute," Wang Baxian wiped oil on his face, walked to the ear bottle, and took out a photomicrograph from his bag. This kind of equipment can visually see the composition and composition of porcelain underglaze. The degree of aging, the moment he took out the camera, the sloppy look faded instantly, and the whole person became serious. He carefully looked at the ear bottle, carefully inspecting its tire, glaze, rim, and bottom. payment……

Luo Zigeng has never seen such a serious Wang Baxian. From the day he met this guy, Wang Baxian has earned [-] to [-]. He wished he could walk around the world. This is the first time he has seen a serious Wang Baxian.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Baxian put down the ear-piercing bottle and looked at Kong Xin, "It's exactly the same."

"what?"

"I had identified the bottle five years ago beforehand, and introduced it to you only after I thought it was genuine. I think the current one should be the same as the one five years ago."

Everyone fell into silence. Everyone had worked in the antique shop for many years, and they all had absolute confidence in their own eyesight. The four of them unexpectedly separated two viewpoints so clearly.

After a while, Mei Xue said, "Since you guys can't judge, I think it's better to let Yang Shan judge. He is well-informed and his eyesight is much sharper than yours."

Kong Xin looked at Meng Xin, "What do you think?"

Meng Xin avoided his gaze, "Let me think about it again."

"OK, this matter has come to an end for the time being," Mei Xue said with a smile, "We are about to leave, thank you Mr. Han for your hospitality, that...Xiao Meng, I am Ashin's mother, although we have never met , but I have been listening to Ashin talk about your friendship."

Meng Xin smiled, "Hello, Aunt Mei."

"Okay, everything is fine," Mei Xue said enthusiastically, "I don't think Ashin will be able to stay in Hong Kong for a few days, so how about coming to Aunt Mei's house for dinner in the evening, and Aunt Mei will cook for her personally?"

Meng Xin smiled, "Okay, I will definitely be there on time."

Han Ye looked up at Meng Xin, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

When everyone left, Wang Baxian turned his head and waved his paw at Han Ye meanly, "Bye bye, cool and domineering Mr. Han, I don't mind telling you, don't try to catch up with our Miss Meng in this life. You're not the type he likes, ouch, you're going to get angry, don't worry, don't worry, keep calm, okay~~"

When everyone else left, Han Ye grabbed Meng Xin's shoulder, "Why do you want to go to her house? Do you want to go back to the mainland with them? Do you want to leave me?"

Meng Xin frowned, "Let go of me, Ah Ye."

"I won't let you go," Han Ye said, "Uncle Meng, if you dare to go back to the mainland with them, I'll kill them all."

"You scratched me and hurt me," Meng Xin said lightly, "let go."

Han Ye let go of his hand, desperately resisting the urge to hold him in his arms, and looked at him in pain, "Uncle Meng, I...I don't want to let go."

Meng Xin lowered her eyelids when she saw his injury, "I will not return to the mainland, I will stay in Hong Kong forever."

Han Ye suddenly looked up at him.

Meng Xin smiled wryly, and raised her hand to help him smooth the curled collar, "I will stay in Hong Kong forever, watching you get married and have children, Ah Ye has grown up, is an adult, and can take care of a family." gone."

Han Ye grabbed his wrist, put his other arm around his waist and wrapped him in his arms, "Uncle Meng, I don't want anyone else, I only have you in my family, you have always been the only one, and you are the only one who treats me good."

"Don't be stupid, I just want to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade to please you."

"You liar!" Han Ye hugged him stubbornly, resting his head on his neck like a child, and kissed his hair, "You didn't even know who I was when you rescued me. I had nothing at that time. Everyone bullies me, only you treat me well, only you take care of me sincerely..."

Meng Xin closed her eyes and sighed, "You will always be a child in my heart, Aye, you know, I have someone I like."

Han Ye was shocked.

Meng Xin's heart ached, she pushed him away cruelly, and smiled alienatedly, "It's getting late, I still have things to do, your assistant Sherry said that Loris from Risen Bank has an appointment to play golf with you this afternoon, so don't be late. "

Mei Xue started to prepare a big meal when she got home. She is not good at cooking, but she is willing to study for her sons, and the meals she made while checking the recipes are actually very delicious.

Meng Xin came at dusk in the evening, and Mei Xue poked her head out from the kitchen, "You guys play for a while, dinner will be ready soon."

Kong Xin and Meng Xin looked at each other, then shook their heads at the study, "Talk inside."

The four entered the study, and Kong Xin sat down on a chair, "Sit down, there are no outsiders here, please tell me what happened back then."

The light in the study was soft, Meng Xin sat at the table, glanced at them, and smiled faintly, "That was a nightmare, a nightmare of my own making."

"I know it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare for us all," Kong Xin said coldly, "Do you think we won't be sad if you die? Wen Zhijun entered the emergency room, you know? You Don't you like him? What do you call liking?"

"……sorry."

Luo Zigeng stopped Kong Xin from being aggressive, "Don't get angry, let Brother Meng finish."

Meng Xin: "Ashin, the car accident was planned, and both the double and the truck driver belong to Pan Nanhua."

"Pan Nanhua?" Luo Zigeng lost his voice. He has always harbored great hostility towards this person. Back then, Pan Nanhua was Mr. Luo's art dealer and instigated him to buy a lot of fakes at high prices. No one else knew how much money he could make from it. It is not known that Pan Nanhua is now vigorously developing charitable undertakings, holding various antique exhibitions and charity auctions, and seems to be an appraisal expert respected by everyone in the Nanjing antique industry.

"Yes, Pan Nanhua," Meng Xin's voice was calm, "Pan's family and Meng's family are related by marriage. Speaking of which, I should call him cousin. When we bought the piercing bottle in Ruzhou, I conspired with him. , intending to find the right time to take away the piercing ear bottle, but you protected it so well that you hardly moved an inch, so we had to start in Nanjing. I was the one who asked Ji Kai to tell you to go back to Nanjing, and he really couldn’t resist asking you out. , I sent you and Zigeng away, and left with the ear bottle before the guy from Gujin Pavilion arrived, and you all know later that the double deliberately had a car accident with the truck driver, pretending that I was dead."

His flat voice seemed very thin in the quiet study room, "But I also got something good. Pan Nanhua and I made an appointment to sell the ear bottle and then we would split the bill for four or six. He contacted the buyer in Hong Kong, but he didn't expect that he had just left the mainland. I was blackmailed by him and almost died in the garbage dump, so when I learned that the pierced ear bottle appeared in the auction, I was very surprised, but I didn't plan to bid, it was Han Ye who thought I liked it, so he secretly took pictures Gave it to me."

Everyone didn't speak after listening. After a long time, Kong Xin said bitterly, "I want to know, why did you do this? The ear bottle is a firewood kiln, worth 8 million Hong Kong dollars. It is indeed very valuable, but Is it worth your fake death? Worth you giving up all of us, all your feelings? Worth you giving up the Kong family who raised you from ten years old? Worth you giving up Wen Zhijun?"

"Zhijun is not mine in the first place, and there is no such thing as whether to let it go or not," Meng Xin said lightly, "The Kong family...the Kong family raised me, I am very grateful, but..." There was a trace of resentment in his eyes, " Kong Xin, you only know about the decline of the Meng family, so do you know how the Meng family fell?"

Kong Xin was stunned for a moment, "Your parents chartered a boat to go fishing in the sea, and encountered a storm..."

"What about the collections they left behind?" Meng Xin said, "My grandfather is the famous Meng Lao Qi in Nanjing, and his family's collections are countless. Although they were raided, some of them were returned later, and my parents bought Where did all those antiques go?"

"Cough, let me tell you, Miss Meng, you have absolutely misunderstood." Wang Baxian cleared his throat, "Don't we know Mr. Kong's character? He will never steal your Meng family's collection, I say you are out of your mind Is there something wrong? Do you suspect someone is bad, you suspect Mr. Kong? Are you low in IQ?"

Meng Xin raised her voice, "I was raised and taught by Uncle Kong, so I naturally understand his character, but the fact is that, I have seen things from the Meng family in the underground collection room of the Kong family!"

"What?" Kong Xin was startled, "Impossible!"

"The blue and white sixteen-character picture pot was collected by my father in the country. He also used it to play dice with me. The Fuxiqin of the 'Great Sage's Legacy' was played by my mother when I was a child. There are also Xuande furnace, celebrity Calligraphy and paintings, Ming-style furniture..." Meng Xin resented, "It's not one or two, but so many..."

"There must be some misunderstanding here," Luo Zigeng said, "I believe in Uncle Kong's character."

Meng Xin took a deep breath, "I didn't want to doubt that Uncle Kong was such a high-minded person until my uncle told me the truth. After my parents passed away, my uncle was too busy with work to support me, and Uncle Kong extended a helping hand. He raised me and took care of the Meng family’s collection until I became an adult, but he never told me a word about the Meng family’s collection until I was 26 years old! He didn’t mention a single word about the Meng family’s collection! I paid so much for Gujin Pavilion So much effort, so what? Isn’t Gujin Pavilion surnamed Kong? It will never be surnamed Meng!”
