Chapter 368: Fake is Always Fake
Xiao Yifei suddenly thought of a barely passable excuse in his mind. Scratching his head, he smiled and said, "When I was looking at the Yuan blue-and-white vase brought by Cao Heming and his group, I felt that their vase was just too symmetrical. In ancient times, without computer graphics, even if the symmetry was overdone, it wouldn’t look as unnaturally perfect as the vase they brought."
Tan Zhenting, upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, raised his head and stared blankly at Xiao Yifei. "Mr. Xiao, do you mean to say that just because of this single reason, you determined their items were fakes?"
Xiao Yifei looked at Tan Zhenting, really at a loss about how to explain the nonsense he had spouted. He could only laugh loudly and nod vigorously, "Yes, exactly! I determined their Yuan blue-and-white was a fake based purely on that point."
After he finished speaking to Tan Zhenting, he went on somewhat nonsensically, "Moreover, when I smashed their Yuan blue-and-white vase, even if theirs was genuine, and it was the only piece of its kind, the only problem with our remaining piece, aside from a slight irregularity in its body, is that there are no other issues. Therefore, ours must definitely be genuine!"
Listening to Xiao Yifei’s response, Tan Zhenting opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. He had never heard of such a method of appraisal before. In the end, Tan Zhenting could only sigh deeply, his admiration for Xiao Yifei evident, "Mr. Xiao, you really are bold!"
Xiao Yifei chuckled ’hehe’, and although he seemed a bit embarrassed, the indifference in his eyes showed that Xiao Yifei did not care about Tan Zhenting’s words. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.
"Finally bluffed my way through."
While Tan Zhenting did not notice the slight change in Xiao Yifei’s demeanor, Tan Yunjing, standing not far from Xiao Yifei, caught every shift in his expression.
