Chapter 4
"It's a very good imitation, but the glaze is too new. It's obviously a fake."
I couldn't help but laugh:
"Vivian has good eyesight."
This is the only fake set in my house.
Vivian thought I was mocking her, and her eyes became even colder:
"Alexander, I don't have time to play word games with you! You must pay back the 500,000 today and sign these agreements, otherwise our engagement will be void."
"When the time comes, your dream of becoming a rich man is shattered, don't regret it!"
"Also, your parents don't have any pension, so I won't take care of their retirement..."
Before she finished speaking, the bodyguard behind her suddenly whispered:
"Vivian, does this look like the top lot from Christensen's auction a few days ago?"
Vivian was stunned, and turned her head to look at the porcelain bottle along her hand.
It was a plum vase from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty. My dad saw that I liked it, so he took a picture of it and gave it to me to play with.
Vivian stared at it for a few seconds, her expression changing several times, and finally she sneered:
"Alexander, you are really good at picking out fakes. You even dare to imitate the popular models that have just been sold at the auction?"
Looking at this woman who is three years older than me, I can't help but feel fortunate that I haven't reached the legal age yet, otherwise according to the agreement made by our elders, I would be her husband now.
If such a scheming woman who appears generous but is actually stingy and has poor taste were to become my wife, it would be a stain on my life.
I sighed and ordered them to leave:
"Vivian, I don't blame you for being blind, but if you insist on embarrassing yourself in front of me, I won't keep you company."
Her face darkened:
"What do you mean? Do you really think I must have you?"
"Let me tell you, what I despise most is money-diggers like you who make money by selling your body!"
"Your reputation is ruined now. You can't find another husband except marrying me! If it weren't for the friendship of the older generation, I wouldn't waste my time talking nonsense with you!"
I was too lazy to explain, so I just picked up the plum vase and turned it over to the bottom in front of her:
"Look carefully, this is Christensen's identification number. It is the only one in the world and was sold for $120 million."
"Do you think I'd be short of your 500,000?"
"For the sake of our friendship, I can give you 500,000 yuan for free, but I just happen to hate gold diggers who want to get something for nothing!"
"As long as you take your people and get out of here right now and never show up in front of me again, I won't pursue your slander and cyberbullying of me."
Vivian's expression froze.
The bodyguard took a breath and whispered:
"Vivian, he's so arrogant, could there be some misunderstanding? And this plum vase... seems to be real."
Vivian's face turned pale. She snatched the plum vase and looked at it over and over again. The more she looked at it, the uglier her face became.
She took out her cell phone and called Jordan.
"Jordan, isn't your sister an employee at Christensen's auction house? Ask her to find out who bought the last standing bid for the top lot!"
"By the way, bring the top lawyer I hired to Alexander's house!"
"He has been stubborn and has not used my card until now. I have to make him give in today! Otherwise, he will shit on my head after we get married."
Since Vivian wants to be slapped in the face, I am willing to wait.
Ten minutes later, Jordan showed up at my house with the news and his lawyer.
"Vivian, I asked, that plum vase was bought by the richest man and was going to give it to his son as a vase to play with."
After hearing this, Vivian looked as if she knew it.
Chapter 5
Jordan picked up the plum vase and admired it, then sneered at me:
"Alexander, you're willing to spend a lot of money to show off your wealth, even making a high-end imitation so realistic?"
The top lawyer looked unhappy at the sight of the bottle.
She rushed forward, pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and was about to take a closer look.
Jordan suddenly raised his hand——
“Bang!”
The crisp sound of shattering echoed throughout the living room.
The Song Dynasty plum vase worth 120 million yuan was smashed to the ground by him and shattered completely.
I was stunned.
Vivian was stunned for a moment, then glared at Jordan in dissatisfaction.
"Jordan, stop messing around! Even if it's a high-end replica, it's worth a lot of money!"
Jordan pursed his lips and said with red eyes:
"Vivian, Alexander is obviously not going to pay you back the 500,000. I smashed a fake item for you to vent your anger, why are you blaming me?"
In front of me, Vivian coaxed him in a gentle and doting voice:
"I'm not blaming you! I was just trying to get him to cough up the 500,000 so I could buy you a small apartment to live in."
"My capable employees deserve the best!"
"I hope some people can see the difference between him and me and sign these agreements. After all, the people lining up to be my husband can go around Newcrest City."
She glanced at me meaningfully.
I rolled my eyes as if I was looking at a mentally retarded person, and said disdainfully:
"Vivian, please find out who spent the $500,000 first, otherwise the people who want to empty your family's assets will be able to go around Newcrest City."
Jordan felt guilty when he heard that, and tears suddenly started to fall.
This made Vivian panic.
I don't want to see them showing off their affection in front of me, so I interrupted coldly:
"Vivian is so compassionate to his subordinates, I guess you will help him pay for this 120 million plum vase, right?"
Vivian raised her foot and prepared to crush the fragments.
"Is a fake worth my money? Why, are you heartbroken? Didn't you say it's a genuine product? Didn't you say you have money? Then why don't you buy another one?"
Jordan immediately burst into laughter and looked at me triumphantly like a rooster that had won a battle.
The top lawyer fell to his knees and just barely stopped Vivian's feet.
"Vivian, this plum vase, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's real..."
At this point, Vivian and Jordan were both stunned.
I didn't expect that the top lawyer Vivian hired had such good vision.
In just the next second, Vivian pushed the person away and crushed the broken pieces of the plum vase:
"Lawyer Mike, you are a top lawyer, not a jewelry appraiser. You also heard that the real piece was bought by the richest man in Newcrest City and given to his son as a vase. How could it possibly end up in our Bayview City?"
Jordan opened his mouth wide and exclaimed:
"Unless Alexander is bold enough to rob the richest man's house?"
"Or maybe he even hooked up with the richest man in Newcrest City?"
I couldn't help but laugh at their ignorance.
"I won't hide it from you, the richest man in Newcrest City is my dad..."
Vivian immediately looked at Jordan and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
"Oh my god, Alexander, I know everything about your family background. Your father is the richest man. He might be your godfather, right? It turns out you are popular with both men and women!"
"Since you are able to hook up with the richest man, I will reluctantly not break off the engagement with you, and you don't have to pay back the 500,000 yuan."
"You just need to sign these agreements and promise to ask the richest man to take care of my Crawford Family's business every year. I will definitely cover for you and the richest man."
