Chapter 519: Chapter 516: Treasure or Forgery

Li Wenrong’s attempt to give a gift had failed, and he’d lost face to the point of no return. Of course, he wanted to recover as much as he could, and the best way to do so was to similarly belittle Yun Xiaotian’s gift, to divert others’ attention, or rather, to find someone to be embarrassed with, to balance his emotions.

Some people indeed turned their gaze towards Yun Xiaotian, curious about what kind of gift this heir of the Yun Family would bring out.

"Miss, what kind of gift do you think this little friend who’s chasing after you will bring?" Lin Tian walked back and teased.

Xiao Manxue glared at him fiercely and snapped, "What suitor? He’s just a little brat. Are you suggesting I seduce children?"

"Ahem, that’s not what I meant." Lin Tian pretended to cough twice, smiling, "If Miss wanted to seduce me, I wouldn’t mind. I’m an honest person and quite easy to seduce, easy to get a hold of, you know."

"Hmph, who would want to seduce you? Just wait until Yun Xiaotian presents his gift, then think about how to reject it," the Miss snorted lightly.

"Miss, you’ve got it backwards. It’s a gift for you, so you should be the one thinking of ways to reject it, why involve me?" Lin Tian said discontentedly.

"I don’t care, I want you to reject it. As the major shareholder of Tianxue Jewelry, you’ve always been hands-off. Can’t you handle this small matter?" the Miss acted petulantly, making it clear she would make trouble for him if he didn’t comply.

Lin Tian suddenly found himself with a face full of black lines. Since when had the Miss become so unreasonable, acting as capriciously as the Second Miss?

Helplessly, he said, "Fine. If the gift that Yun Xiaotian brings out is valuable, I’ll accept it. If it’s not, then forget it."

"Brother Lin, as the heir of the Yun Family, he surely won’t be stingy, right? At least it should be on the same level as the red coral," Zhou Botong commented.

"We’ll see. The kid isn’t that simple; he might surprise us," Lin Tian said with a smile.

At this time, Yun Xiaotian didn’t argue with Li Wenrong anymore, but walked up to Mrs. Xiao and took the box from Uncle Wang.

"Aunt Li, coincidentally, the congratulatory gift I have brought today is also a bracelet," Yun Xiaotian said, not trying to curry favor with the Miss but instead speaking directly to Mrs. Xiao.

Li was actually Mrs. Xiao’s maiden name. She allowed others to call her Mrs. Xiao to prevent gossip at the door of a widow, but of course, Yun Xiaotian wouldn’t address her that way as he was her junior.

In fact, it was improper for Lin Tian to call Li Xinyi Mrs. Xiao, but since everyone was used to it and Li Xinyi did not object, it continued to be the accepted form of address.

"Third Young Master Li, you really shouldn’t repeat what others do. Why not bring something original instead of a bracelet," Li Wenrong, of course, didn’t let this chance slip by to mock Yun Xiaotian again.

"Third Young Master Li is joking. You and Brother Lin here are both handsome men, but compared to Brother Lin, you still fall far behind. The same goes for bracelets; the logic is the same," Yun Xiaotian replied calmly and composedly.

The Brother Lin he referred to was Lin Tian. Although he did not know Lin Tian’s name, he had heard the surname, and so he called him Brother Lin.

It must be said, Lin Tian quite liked being called Brother Lin, and he suddenly found Yun Xiaotian a lot more likable. Moreover, by saying this, Yun Xiaotian managed both to repay Li Wenrong in kind and to compliment Lin Tian, slightly pulling Lin Tian towards his side.

Because Uncle Wang had just told him that this young man was an expert and best not to provoke.

From this point, it could be seen that, in terms of demeanor or intelligence, Li Wenrong was far behind Yun Xiaotian by several levels.

Li Wenrong’s face stiffened with jealousy as he glanced at Lin Tian and coldly said to Yun Xiaotian, "Humph, I do wish you, that the gift you brought lives up to your own words, and doesn’t shame the Yun Family. Otherwise, it would be best for you to leave early."

"Third Young Master Li needn’t worry about that," Yun Xiaotian said confidently with a smile, then opened the ancient-looking box in his hand.

Elder Zhou was the first one to look over, as an Appraiser, he had a natural sensitivity to jewelry.

In the box indeed was a string of bracelets, but the material of the bracelets looked very strange, like jade but not jade, and not like any ordinary stone. Although not as dazzlingly brilliant as the red coral, the beads were very lustrous, and there were some ancient patterns on the surface of the beads.

"Yun Xiaotian, what is this thing you’ve brought? Daring to bring out such an old object, such a strange bracelet, you can find plenty at roadside stalls. Aren’t you intentionally fooling us, taking us for a ride?" Li Wenrong said disdainfully before Elder Zhou could speak.

Lin Tian observed the beads carefully and indeed they were old, but old things were not necessarily bad, and he also recognized what these beads were.

Yun Xiaotian did not answer Li Wenrong’s words but turned to Elder Zhou and said, "I think Elder Zhou must recognize what this is."

"Indeed, I do recognize what it is. How about we let Brother Lin explain it? He seems to have a plan in mind and must also understand these beads," Elder Zhou said with a chuckle, looking at Lin Tian.

The crowd’s gaze shifted from the beads to Lin Tian again, their impression of Lin Tian was very deep because of the identification of the red coral beads.

His clear and simple explanations, his composed demeanor, coupled with his handsomely casual appearance, even the men present couldn’t help but admire him, let alone the women. Their gazes towards Lin Tian were undisguised, almost as if they wanted to tie him up and take him home.

Lin Tian was once again lost for words, thinking, Elder Zhou, which eye of yours saw me as having a plan in mind? My expression has always been like this, really speechless. To do the job of identifying and explaining, one indeed has to expend a lot of saliva.

However, under Elder Zhou’s earnest gaze, Lin Tian had no choice but to step forward once again.

He faced the crowd of rich second generations and calmly said, "I believe not only do I recognize these beads, some of you might also understand a bit about them but are just not confident enough to confirm it. Yes, these beads are the legendary Heaven Beads."

"Heaven Beads, you can also buy those things in jewelry shops, why do you say they are legendary?" A bold girl stepped forward to ask, and after asking, she winked at Lin Tian, not hiding the high-voltage of allure in her gaze.

Lin Tian shuddered, not because he was electrified by a beautiful girl, but because at that moment, he felt several sharp gazes piercing his back.

According to his strong sense of perception, the two strongest were undoubtedly from the Misses of the Xiao Family. Another two were from Xiao Manxuan. Who were the others? They vanished in a flash, and he could be sure they were not from Zi Yan, as she was facing him.

Could it be from Mrs. Xiao? Lin Tian suddenly came up with this bizarre conjecture and startled himself, thinking it was far too absurd to entertain such an idea.

He shook his head, pretending not to notice the Xiao sisters’ stares, and answered the electrifying beauty, "Miss, those in jewelry shops are all dyed imitations with chemical dyes, you must not buy them, they’re no good for your health."
