Chapter 39: The drama unfolds
"Isn’t it obvious? Some people made a counterfeit and dared to pass it off as the original. They are even so rude while at it. Isn’t it so we can buy it quickly and leave before we find out It’s counterfeit?"
"Miss, you cannot make such a blatant accusation. There were more bracelets like this made after the auction. Since we could get our hands on one, it’s a fake?"
Li Lanni’s lips twitched ever so slightly. "I don’t know. But all I know is that this bracelet should be a century old. I wonder if the creator popped out of their grave to make more of it?"
"It’s alright to sell counterfeit products since some people don’t mind it. But by pretending they are genuine goods, aren’t you committing a crime? I’m quite sure every piece of jewelry in here is fake."
"Miss, you cannot accuse our store like that. Do you have any evidence?"
Li Lanni swept a glance through the store. "I was distracted just now when we were looking around." She couldn’t believe her friend almost got swindled under her watch. "Do you want me to scrutinize your goods? Let’s bet on it. We can call an expert in this field as well as the police. If I’m accusing you falsely, I will let them arrest me and if you are selling fake goods, you will agree to be arrested. What do you think?"
Cheng Yu grabbed Li Lanni’s hand, putting the jade bracelet on the counter and dragging her friend away. "That’s enough. We found out it’s counterfeit on time so I won’t buy it."
"Have you bought anything from this store before?"
"Yes. I didn’t know they were fake before but since I know it now, I will not buy anything here anymore."
