"My meaning is very clear, haven’t you understood, some people here are pretending to be good with a fake piece of jade, deliberately earning the gratitude of our Miss Ling, and making others look up to him, truly impressive."

Ye Luo came over, a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

"Ye Luo, what do you mean? Are you saying that this piece of Wen Xinyu is fake, or are you questioning the judgment of the esteemed treasure appraiser Master Chen?"

Fang Yan looked at Ye Luo with a somewhat icy tone as he spoke, and his pointed words involved Master Chen. If Ye Luo agreed, he would offend Master Chen; if he did not, then his own previous statements would be like a slap to his own face.

For a time, everyone at the banquet scene gathered around, their gazes full of interest as they watched the scene.

"What is this guy trying to do? Isn’t this just offending people?"

Nie Wenling watched Ye Luo with her eyes and pursed her lips.

"Brother Ye must have his own ideas."

Liu Xiner spoke lightly, while Liu Shiyun and Luo Jingxuan frowned slightly and walked over.

"Of course, I am not doubting Master Chen’s judgment. However, even the most capable people can make mistakes. Haven’t you ever heard the saying about the horse stumbling?"

Ye Luo said with an utterly calm expression.

"Hmph, you are simply twisting facts to suit your needs. As the president of the Huaxia Ancient Cultural Relics Association and the chairman of the Mingzhu Group, Master Chen has spent his life studying countless cultural relics and jewels. How could he possibly make a mistake? You are downright insulting Master Chen."

Fang Yan’s words were somewhat venomous as he spoke, and many in the audience frowned slightly at Ye Luo.

"Brother, if you’re here to cause trouble, I can only ask someone to escort you out," said Han Youwei earnestly as he looked at Ye Luo.

"Ye Luo, leave immediately."

At that moment, Ling Qingya looked at Ye Luo with a chilly face and commanded in an unyielding tone.

"Qing Ya, although you are my wife, after all, we have not yet held our wedding ceremony, and I’m under no obligation to obey you," Ye Luo said with a hint of a smile looking at Ling Qingya.

Ye Luo’s words surprised many in the audience. Although many recognized Ye Luo’s identity and knew about his engagement to Ling Qingya, most did not recognize him and were naturally unaware of his relationship with Ling Qingya. Now hearing this, they were taken aback.

As for Ling Qingya, her expression darkened, and she radiated an icy chill, her dark eyes ice-cold as they fixed on Ye Luo: "Ye Luo, show some respect, please. I am not your wife, so leave immediately."

"So Miss Ling and Mr. Ye have such a relationship," said Chen Baoshan with a smile as he looked at Ye Luo. "I wonder, Mr. Ye, what is your opinion on this piece of Wen Xinyu?"

"Master Chen’s judgment is certainly formidable, but after all, even Master Chen said that he had not seen Wen Xinyu before, so it is naturally not easy to truly determine its authenticity. Also, this so-called Wen Xinyu is indeed very convincingly made," Ye Luo glanced briefly at the heart-shaped jade in Chen Baoshan’s hand as he spoke.

"Kid, you’re talking nonsense. This Wen Xinyu cost me five million to purchase; how could it be fake? I think you’re just envious of me, jealous of the things I’ve done for Qing Ya, while you, the so-called fiancé, are just a good-for-nothing who knows only how to play with women," Fang Yan said coldly, looking at Ye Luo.

"Ye Luo, are you leaving or not?"

Ling Qingya’s expression turned even colder, like millennium-old ice, as she directed a strong aura of authority towards Ye Luo.

"No need to be so hasty, beautiful wife," Ye Luo said lightly to Ling Qingya, before turning his gaze towards everyone present: "Do you all really not believe what I’m saying?"

"Very well, since you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you right now."

"Kid, even Master Chen declared it to be Wen Xinyu, what proof do you have that it’s not?"

At that moment, another voice rang out as Lu Qing approached, looking at Ye Luo with a disdainful snort.

"Do you dare to make a bet with me? If I can prove it’s fake, you agree to a demand of mine, and vice versa, I will agree to one of your demands."

Ye Luo’s face bore a playful expression as he looked at Fang Yan.

"Alright, kid, I’ll let you really feel what it’s like to be humiliated by everyone."

Fang Yan declared with a darkened face.

"Mr. Ye, this..."

At this time, Nie Yuntian’s figure appeared in front of Ye Luo, his eyes filled with a touch of worry.

"Don’t worry, Uncle Nie, I know what I’m doing," Ye Luo said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"This guy..."

From a distance, Liu Family Head, Liu XiaChuan, watched Ye Luo with an elderly but interested gaze.

"Old Chen, may I borrow your jade for a moment?"

Ye Luo looked at Chen Baoshan, who immediately handed over the jade. At this moment, everyone’s gaze was filled with anticipation and interest, wanting to know how this fellow was going to prove that this piece of Wen Xinyu was fake.

But in the next second, their stares turned into stunned disbelief, their expressions freezing.

All they saw was Ye Luo holding the piece of Wen Xinyu, worth five million, and casually tossing it to the ground, where it shattered with a snap.

"Bastard, you..."

Fang Yan’s face drastically changed, staring at the shattered Wen Xinyu, his eyes flashing with rage, fixated on Ye Luo.

"Kid, do you know what you’re doing?"

The crowd present was stunned by Ye Luo’s actions, and Ling Qingya’s expression went through several changes, looking at the broken Wen Xinyu on the ground, feeling a stronger chill envelop her.

"Young man, do you realize what you’re doing?"

At this point, Han Youwei’s face looked somewhat unpleasant as he watched Ye Luo, carrying an air of authority.

"This..."

At that moment, Nie Yuntian and Liu XiaChuan frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

"Ye Luo, for these five million, let’s see how you intend to compensate! Chairman Han, this man is obviously here to cause trouble, and he must be taken to the police station," Fang Yan said angrily, looking at Ye Luo.

"Exactly, call the police right away!" Han Youwei said in a heavy voice.

"Hold on!"

Just then, Chen Baoshan’s voice rose, and everyone turned their attention to him. They saw Chen Baoshan squatting on the ground, picking up the broken pieces of Wen Xinyu and gently tipping them, causing a transparent liquid to flow out from inside the cracked jade.

"What is this..."

Seeing this scene, everyone’s faces changed, and they showed a shocked and puzzled look.

"This is a special warming liquid stored inside this piece of jade, maintaining its warm touch, and moreover, the jade is hollow inside," Chen Baoshan said calmly, which turned the atmosphere at the scene very heavy and awkward. The faces of Han Youwei and Fang Yan changed instantly, and a look of surprise flashed through Ling Qingya’s cold eyes.
