Chapter 146
Qingfeng smiled unconcernedly when he saw Lingxiu Xu’s furious face .
He was the honorary President of the World Antique Auction and was very familiar with antiques . The bamboo teapot looked beautiful but there were flaws if one inspected carefully .
"Do you know who this green bamboo is from? It’s a gift from the antique master Shuqing Song to my grandfather . You are questioning an antique master . "
Lingxiu Xu’s face was filled with anger and displeased towards Qingfeng’s questioning .
Shuqing Song was a master in the Eastern Sea City antique world and a longtime friend of her grandfather . How could there be anything wrong with the bamboo teapot he gifted her grandfather?
Furthermore, Shuqing Song was very nice to Lingxiu Xu . She was naturally angry to hear Qingfeng question the teapot Shuqing Song gifted .
"President Xu, it seems like you don’t believe my words . " Qingfeng smiled faintly and said .
"It’s not that I don’t believe you . But there shouldn’t be a problem with the teapot . "
Yunchang Xu and Shuqing Song were longtime friends . He did not believe that there would be anything wrong with the teapot Shuqing Song gifted him .
Yunchang Xu still believed in the character of his long-time friend .
"President Xu, this should be a matter between you and your friend . But since it concerns your illness, I have to be frank with you . "
"How is this bamboo teapot related to my illness?"
"Let me ask you before you used this bamboo teapot, did you have a frozen shoulder?"
Qingfeng smiled faintly and questioned Yunchang Xu .
Yunchang Xu frowned slightly when he heard the question . He thought carefully and discovered that before he started using the bamboo teapot, he did not have a frozen shoulder .
His stubborn frozen shoulder only started when he used the bamboo teapot . His shoulder and arm hurt so much that he was unable to continue verifying antiques and designing jewelry .
Could there be something wrong with the bamboo teapot?
Yunchang Xu brows were knitted together . He did not want to believe that there was something wrong with the bamboo teapot . After all, it was gifted to him by his good friend Shuqing Song .
"President Xu, to tell you truthfully . This bamboo teapot is a flawed product, more commonly known as a fake . There is a harmful substance in it that would become chilly air when ingested into the body . The chilly air accumulated in the body which is why your frozen shoulder could not be cured . "
Qingfeng saw that Yunchang Xu did not believe him so he revealed the etiology of his illness .
"Nonsense . This bamboo teapot is a work of the Qing Dynasty . It has a history of a hundred years . Who can it be fake?"
Lingxiu Xu shook her beautiful head in disbelief .
"You don’t believe that this bamboo teapot is fake?" Qingfeng glanced at Lingxiu Xu and lightly said .
"There’s no way it is fake . " Lingxiu Xu clenched her teeth and refused to believe the teapot is fake .
"Miss Ling Xiu, what if I prove that it is fake?"
"Hmph, if you can prove that the bamboo teapot is fake, I will apologize to you . "
"Okay, I look forward to your apology . "
Qingfeng also had a temper which has been ignited by Lingxiu Xu .
You don’t believe that it’s fake? I’ll prove it to you .
Slam!
Qingfeng lifted the bamboo teacup and smashed it onto the ground . The teacup broken into a million pieces .
"Ahhh, bastard . That’s a bamboo teacup from the Qing Dynasty . It is a priceless treasure but you smashed it!"
Lingxiu Xu’s eyes were wide with anger when she saw the broken teapot .
She was so mad at this fellow . The teapot was extremely precious and would be considered a treasure even in the Qing Dynasty . It was priceless .
Yunchang Xu stood up abruptly in shock when he saw the broken teacup .
He felt that Qingfeng was too rash . No matter if the teacup was fake, the bamboo teapot was a treasure . How could he break it?
"Please calm down and look at the breakage at the bottom of the teapot . "
Qingfeng did not look at the faces of the two angered people . He picked up a broken piece of the bottom of the teapot and showed it to the two of them .
"The breakage is white . That’s normal . " Lingxiu Xu frowned slightly and could not see what was wrong .
She learned about antiques since she was a kid from her grandfather and was also knowledgeable about antiques . Isn’t it normal for the breakage at the bottom of the teapot to be white?
"The breakage at the bottom of the teapot is white . That’s correct . But it’s too white, it looks like its bleached by chemicals . "
Qingfeng smiled and said . His words had an explosive impact and shocked the two people .
"Yes, you’re right . The breakage at the bottom of the teapot should not be this white for a hundred-year-old porcelain . "
Yunchang Xu’s face changed and finally realized that there was something wrong with the teapot .
He was the President of the Antique Association . He naturally knew that the breakage of a hundred-year-old porcelain would turn yellow after so many years .
The problem was very apparent . It was unnatural for the breakage to be so white .
After Qingfeng Li and Yunchang Xu’s reminder, Lingxiu Xue took a careful look and also noticed the problem .
"Could there really be something wrong with the bamboo teapot?"
Lingxiu Xu’s egg-shaped face was slightly pale with disbelief but the evidence reminded her that there was something wrong with the teapot .
"Miss Lingxiu, now you know why I had to smash the teapot . We can only discover the problem with the breakage of the teacup if we smash it . " Qingfeng smiled confidently .
Lingxiu Xu did not give up after hearing Qingfeng’s words . She ran to the kitchen and got a lighter . She lit the breakage of the bamboo teapot . After the breakage was lit on fire, it melted into a white liquid .
The white liquid was a chemical substance that was harmful to the body . The white chemical substance would dissolve into the tea when the teapot was used to brew tea .
Of course, the white chemical substance would also emit a faint bamboo-like fragrance . The fragrance attracted one to drink from the teapot again and thus, increased the harm to the body .
The chilly air inside Yunchang Xu body accumulated because he often used the teapot to drink tea .
"Fake, this teapot is actually a fake and it contains harmful substances . "
Lingxiu Xu’s face became pale . Her bright eyes also dimmed .
Qingfeng was slightly confused . It’s only a fake, why did you react so strongly?
Yunchang Xu seemed to have seen Qingfeng’s confusion . He broke into a wry smile and said, "This bamboo teacup is a gift from Shuqing Song . It is a marriage proposal gift for his grandson and my granddaughter . "
Shuqing Song had a grandson who liked Lingxiu Xu . He gifted this bamboo teapot as a proposal gift to Yunchang Xu .
How could Lingxiu Xu not be sad to know that the teapot is fake?
