Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 773: Fell into a Pit
Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Fell into a Pit
"Han Fei, watch your mouth, and stop looking down on people. Let’s go, Zhang Xiaoshan. I know you want to help me, but I can’t just watch you be humiliated like this."
Lin Yanran clutched Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm, but Zhang Xiaoshan stood still as a mountain. He simply gave Lin Yanran a reassuring look, then turned to Han Fei and asked.
"Young Master Han, you said yourself that you would give me this basin. Are you a man of your word?"
"Of course, my words are as solid as gold. It’s just a broken basin after all, how much can it be worth?"
"Look at this trinket, you cherish it as if it were a great bargain. It’s just laughable."
Mrs. Lin even spoke with a face full of disdain.
"Now that the dish has been given to you, why not take the basin outside to eat? You might even get some money if you meet someone kind-hearted."
They really treated Zhang Xiaoshan like a beggar.
Zhang Xiaoshan merely chuckled.
"Auntie, you’re quite the joker. Where do you see a beggar begging with a basin worth over five million?"
"Five million, what five million?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned.
Han Fei was also somewhat dumbfounded.
"You must be out of your mind, buddy. Five million for that broken basin? Stop talking nonsense."
Lin Yanran also felt it was unbelievable.
The moment Zhang Xiaoshan entered the door, his Divine Eye had recognized the rarity of the basin—a genuine Yuan blue and white porcelain, also bearing some inscriptions seemingly for harmonizing feng shui. Five million, that was a conservative estimate.
Zhang Xiaoshan had intentionally downplayed its worth just to lure Han Fei into the trap.
Now, Han Fei had fallen into the pit.
"A basin worth five million?"
Some of the dining guests were now casting curious glances their way.
Clearly, everyone was skeptical.
Although this Chinese restaurant was quite famous in Xijing, surely they wouldn’t decorate the hall with a porcelain piece worth more than five million, right?
Besides, what would a country bumpkin know about antiques?
"This gentleman is correct,"
At this moment, the waiter assisted Zhang Xiaoshan.
"This plate is genuinely Yuan blue and white porcelain. Look, this basin has a ’All Rivers Run into the Sea’ pattern, symbolizing a vast inflow of wealth. It’s our treasured piece bought by our boss from a master in Hong Kong."
"The price is indeed five million."
"What?"
Upon hearing the waiter’s explanation, people were astonished.
"This thing, over five million?"
Han Fei was about to lose it.
For him, even as the young master of the Han family, five million was not a small amount. After all, the Han family had many branches and not just him as a young master. His daily allowance was only about a million, along with the salary from his job, capping his annual income at three million.
Five million, wasn’t that demanding his life?
His face was alternating between pale and flushed, looking extremely unattractive.
Zhang Xiaoshan, adding fuel to the fire, taunted Han Fei.
"I’ve heard that the Han family was loaded and you were generous, Young Master Han, but to gift me a treasure worth five million the moment we met? How embarrassing,"
"Hahaha, Young Master Han, you really are rich. I admire you so much."
Lin Yanran burst into laughter seeing Han Fei thrown off balance.
Han Fei was on the verge of exploding.
Dammit, where was he supposed to dig up five million for the owner?
This was utterly absurd!
Besides, he couldn’t actually just hand over five million to Zhang Xiaoshan, could he?
He was exceptionally frustrated.
"Who said I was giving it to you? I was just saying that."
"You, you knew the value of the basin and yet you provoked me, truly shameless. I can see you’re nothing but a big scammer."
"I, I won’t fall for your tricks, I, I’m not giving it to you. Return it quickly to the restaurant."
"Haha, are you trying to renege?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze darkened as he watched Han Fei.
Han Fei, thickening his face, said,
"Who’s reneging? I think you’re the one trying to deceive here."
Mrs. Lin jumped in to support,
"You just got here and spotted the uniqueness of this basin. Are your eyes that good? I don’t believe it. I bet you had scoped it out beforehand, ready to trap someone. What malicious intentions you have."
"Han Fei, you can’t be fooled, and Yanran, this kid is too calculating. You’re no match for him, so break it off with him quickly."
"Mom, it’s actually Han Fei who acted shamelessly. How can you still blame Zhang Xiaoshan? Why are you so unreasonable?"
Lin Yanran was very angry.
"So what if I’m unreasonable? I’m your mother. Would I harm you?" Mrs. Lin said, her face full of annoyance.
Watching the mother and daughter about to clash, Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes swiveled.
He tugged at Lin Yanran’s hand, getting her to sit back down on the chair.
"It’s just a piece of blue and white porcelain. Since Young Master Han doesn’t want to give it, I’ll just return it to you."
With that, Zhang Xiaoshan handed the pot back to Han Fei with both hands.
Han Fei was ecstatic.
"You know your place, kid. I’ll give you that."
Excitedly, he took the pot into his hands.
He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; five million was saved.
"Young Master Han."
Zhang Xiaoshan called out softly.
Han Fei immediately looked towards Zhang Xiaoshan, speaking impatiently.
"You kid better not be thinking of backing out..."
Before he could finish, suddenly everything went dark before his eyes, and he instantly lost control of his body.
"Clatter."
His hands loosened and the pot fell to the ground and shattered.
The loud noise jolted the stunned Han Fei awake.
The blue and white porcelain was smashed to pieces on the floor.
"Oh my god."
"A five million treasure gone?"
"This?"
The other diners were stunned.
"Shattered?"
Han Fei himself was dumbfounded.
He stared at the debris on the floor, completely numb, his mouth twitching.
"Kid, you, what the hell did you do?"
He was furious, his hysteria making him roar at Zhang Xiaoshan.
Beneath his excitement, his originally gentle and refined image was completely gone.
Zhang Xiaoshan stood up.
At this moment, he was no longer the pitiful, easy-going, meek person from before.
Instead, he was like a long spear, a long sword.
Filled with sharp edges.
"Han Fei, when you left home today, did you forget your brain?"
"It was you who dropped it, and you’re asking me what I did?"
"Otherwise, why don’t you check the surveillance?"
"Or, I can call the police and let them deal with it?"
Some of the customers nearby were also discussing it.
"The pot was indeed dropped by Young Master Han."
"The surveillance must have caught it, it’s Young Master Han’s problem if we call the police."
"You, you..."
Han Fei’s blood rushed to his face, turning it red.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you, you’re too much,"
Lin Yanran was explosively joyful.
Everyone knew clearly that it was definitely Zhang Xiaoshan who had set up Han Fei, but it was flawless, and Han Fei could only swallow this dumb loss.
This pit was just too deep.
"You, you damn plotted against me, I’ll kill you."
Han Fei picked up a chair and was ready to fight Zhang Xiaoshan to the death. freёnovelkiss.com
