Chapter 358: Chapter 358 The Same Thing

Therefore, regarding the Yuan Qinghua vase that Cao Heming brought over, Tan Zhenting’s heart was filled with doubts.

But when Tan Yunjing carried in the wooden chest that held the Yuan Qinghua vase, and Tan Zhenting opened it, revealing the vase, an ethereal old man standing beside Cao Heming couldn’t help but show a greedy look in his eyes as he gazed upon the Tan Family’s vase.

Cao Heming had a confidently smug expression on his face, and looked at Tan Zhenting, who was hunched over the table examining the vase, with a sneer in his eyes. Just as Tan Zhenting was carefully observing the Yuan Qinghua vase, Cao Heming turned his attention to Xiao Yifei, who had been silently standing at the back of the crowd, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

"Who is this young gentleman? He seems quite distinguished!"

Unless Cao Heming was mistaken, among the younger generation of the Tan family, there was no one who bore a resemblance to Xiao Yifei, so he was somewhat puzzled by Xiao Yifei, who had appeared suddenly and had been following them the whole time.

"This is Mr. Xiao, who has specially come to visit our family today!"

While studying the two vases on the table, Tan Zhenting didn’t even turn his head as he spoke to Cao Heming.

Hearing Tan Zhenting refer to Xiao Yifei as "Mister," Cao Heming’s eyes flashed with intensity.

’Mister? Such a young Mister? None of those referred to as Mister by the Family Head of the Tan family are simple!"

Cao Heming looked at Xiao Yifei with curiosity because in the antique circle of Yanjing, he had never seen Xiao Yifei’s face before, and in the Huaxia circle, he had never heard of such a young Mister surnamed Xiao either. But Cao Heming knew that Tan Zhenting was not one to speak carelessly.

"Zhenting, since you’ve said as much, this Mr. Xiao must surely have no ordinary talent!"

Cao Heming smiled at Tan Zhenting, his words probing.

Upon hearing Cao Heming’s words, Tan Zhenting only hummed in affirmation and continued his careful examination of the two vases.

Tan Zhenting didn’t fully grasp what Cao Heming was implying about Xiao Yifei, because as a doctor who had cured Tan Yunjing’s seemingly incurable disease, Xiao Yi certainly had considerable medical skill. Moreover, Cao Heming did not clarify, simply asking that pair of questions, so Tan Zhenting merely responded to Cao Heming in that manner.

Startled by Tan Zhenting’s response, Cao Heming became even more cautious in his regard toward Xiao Yifei. Anyone personally commended by Tan Zhenting, an expert in antiques, was no ordinary person. Xiao Yifei’s ability to appreciate antiques was certainly not simple. Seeing how respectfully the Tan family treated Xiao Yifei, Cao Heming realized it signified the addition of a new esteemed member to their ranks. Xiao Yifei’s youthfulness had also surprised Cao Heming, as he had never before encountered someone so young who was considered an expert among antique connoisseurs.

It turned out that because Tan Zhenting’s words had not been clear, Cao Heming had misunderstood!

Cao Heming gave Xiao Yifei a deep look, his vigilance heightened.

At this moment, Tan Zhenting was still bent over the table, closely studying the two vases. With his decades of experience in the antique world coupled with the Tan Family’s substantial influence and access to numerous rare treasures, Tan Zhenting had had the chance to appreciate many valuable items. Although this Yuan Qinghua vase was also worth nearly 100 million, to be frank, it was not an object that Tan Zhenting took to heart.

Had it not been Cao Heming’s claim that the piece was a forgery and related to their family reputation, Tan Zhenting would not have scrutinized the two items so closely. Tan Zhenting’s discernment, vision, and skills were quite formidable, and yet the more he looked, the stranger he found the situation to be.

Because after examining everything thoroughly, both items turned out to be genuine!

Indeed, although there was only a brief mention in history, there still existed a trace of the Yuan Dynasty’s solitary Guiguzi vase with blue and white porcelain. It was specified as a unique item, and now, as Tan Zhenting saw it, both pieces seemed authentic.

If there weren’t irrefutable historical evidence, then Tan Zhenting might really start to wonder if there was perhaps another piece that had circulated among the people!

"What’s wrong? Brother Zhenting, what do you think? Is my item genuine?"

Seeing Tan Zhenting straighten up, Cao Heming lightly smiled and spoke to Tan Zhenting.

Tan Zhenting raised his head, furrowed his brows, and looked at Cao Heming with a strange expression, "The item seems authentic to me, but how can there be two of a solitary piece!"

Hearing Tan Zhenting’s words, Cao Heming couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Ah, Brother Zhenting, didn’t you see that my item is genuine? But since there’s only one of these items, if mine is real, then yours can only be fake!"

After he finished speaking, Cao Heming raised his eyebrows at Tan Zhenting.

"Impossible!"

Tan Zhenting immediately interjected resolutely, continuing, "My item is definitely not fake. The provenance of our item is crystal clear to me; it certainly must be real, otherwise it wouldn’t have fetched such an astronomical price at auction! The seller isn’t ignorant either, saying our item is fake, that’s impossible!"

Tan Zhenting felt that there was something very peculiar about these events; how could it be such a coincidence that two authentic pieces appeared during the same period!

Cao Heming looked at Tan Zhenting, and finally a cold smile slowly appeared on his face, "Tan Zhenting, out of respect for the private relationship once shared between our two families, I kindly warn you, are you repeatedly implying that the Cao Family is slandering yours?"

Cao Heming suddenly stretched out his finger towards the vase he had brought and said, "Then you tell me, whether this vase of ours is real or fake!"

Tan Zhenting furrowed his brows, looking at Cao Heming. Although he knew that Cao Heming had some ulterior motives for visiting their family this time, Tan Zhenting himself was not the kind to spout nonsense. So, after hearing Cao Heming’s question, Tan Zhenting could only speak the answer he had deduced thus far.

"If I am not mistaken, your Yuan Dynasty blue and white vase should also be authentic."

After hearing Tan Zhenting’s words, Cao Heming did not say anything else but continued pointing at the vase on the table and said coldly, "Then explain to me, how can this unique piece exist if mine is real? What is that piece of yours, where is it from, and how dare your family boldly auction off such a counterfeit!"

Finally, Cao Heming, having heard Tan Zhenting’s own admission, felt the timing was ripe and revealed his sharp fangs.

Tan Zhenting frowned as he looked at the cold and beautiful Cao Heming, "Although I said your piece is genuine, I did not say that mine is fake! Even if your vase is real, it does not prove that our item is counterfeit! Perhaps, perhaps there really are two of these vases!"

Cao Heming let out a grating laugh, "Two pieces? How could there be two! The records are so clear in the book, ’one vase damaged’ not ’one vase lost’! Don’t you know that? It’s clearly stated that one piece was damaged, but when it comes to you, two intact pieces appear?"

Cao Heming looked at Tan Zhenting, and his gaze turned equally cold, "If your family does not issue an apology statement of your own accord, and keep shamelessly denying it, then you’ll need our help. After all, the most important thing in our line of work is integrity!"
