866 No Intention to Smash I
If it hadn’t been for Old-man Xia, he wouldn’t have been forced to do so.
All of a sudden, the owner of this antique store turned to shout at Old-man Xia, “Old-man Xia, are you satisfied now? You’re dying now, so why do you have to ruin my business here?”
“And you!” He yelled at Gu Ning afterwards. “Don’t you think it’s over the top? This vase is worth nearly 10 million yuan, but you’re only willing to pay me a million yuan just because he claimed that it’s covered in Yin. I think that you two are working together to extort me! I must call the police!”
After that, the owner took out his phone to call the police.
Gu Ning agreed with the owner on that. Although he could still make some money by selling the vase at the price of a million yuan, he lost much more. If Gu Ning couldn’t prove that it was indeed covered in Yin, what she was doing now would really be like extortion.
“Wait a second, I can prove it to you,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, everyone turned to look at Gu Ning all of a sudden.
Even the owner of this antique store was surprised. Although he was unwilling to sell the vase at the price of a million yuan, he was afraid that it was really covered in Yin. If it was true, he would suffer misfortune. If he had to destroy it himself, he would rather sell it to Gu Ning. In that case, he could make seven hundred thousand yuan at least.
“Can you? Prove it now,” the owner said.
Gu Ning took out a blue and white porcelain bottle the size of a small mineral-water bottle from her backpack, the telepathic eye s.p.a.ce, at once.
Seeing it, everyone was amazed. If it was a real antique, it was careless of her to put it in her backpack. What if someone damaged it?
Gu Ning put the blue and white porcelain bottle on the counter, which was 50 centimeters away from the vase. “This is a real one, and you can hold my bottle for a minute to feel it. You won’t feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, if you do the same thing with your vase, you’ll feel utterly uncomfortable within a minute.”
The owner of the antique store changed his expression in an instant. He did feel uncomfortable and icy every time he held this vase. He didn’t think further and didn’t know why, but now he panicked.
Does it prove that this vase is covered in Yin?
If Gu Ning had touched his vase, he probably wouldn’t believe her, but Gu Ning had never touched it.
The owner already agreed with Gu Ning on that, but he was reluctant to give in right now, so he did what Gu Ning told him to do. He held Gu Ning’s bottle for a minute, and felt nothing uncomfortable. However, when he held his vase, he felt icy within several seconds.
He put it down without delay, in case his life was in danger.
“Well, the news that this vase is covered in Yin already spread abroad. Whether it’s true or not, I’m afraid that I can’t sell it to others. You can take it for a million yuan.” Even though the owner felt the uncomfortable feeling, he wasn’t willing to say it aloud. Nevertheless, others still sensed that this vase wasn’t right.
When Gu Ning was about to put her blue and white porcelain bottle back before she paid the money, someone stopped her.
“Wait a second.” The middle-aged man who planned to buy the vase covered in Yin said, “Miss, is this bottle a real antique? Can you sell it to me?”
He was going to send someone a gift, and it had to be blue and white porcelain, because the person he was giving it to liked blue and white porcelain very much. It took him a lot of time and effort to find a real blue and white porcelain vase, but it turned out to be covered in Yin. He was angry and disappointed, but felt lucky at the same time. It was indeed not a good object anyway.
“Sure, we can go to the appraisal center after I’m done here,” Gu Ning said.
In fact, she could directly offer him a price, but she proposed to go to the appraisal center in order to prove that the bottle was real.
“No problem,” the man said with excitement.
After that, Gu Ning swiped her card and signed the contract before she took the vase away.
Once she bought the vase, she told the middle-aged man to leave with her. It seemed like she had no intention to smash the vase.
Old-man Xia was anxious and stopped her. “Miss, where are you going with this vase? Why don’t you destroy it right here so that everyone will be relieved?”
Gu Ning smiled. “I’m sorry. I have to intention to destroy it. It cost me a lot!”
Hearing that, everyone was surprised. They thought that Gu Ning was a liar and wanted to sell the vase to make money.
If so, Gu Ning was too amoral! People glared at Gu Ning and started to discuss again.
“You…” Old-man Xia was angry. He thought that Gu Ning was an upright, generous young girl, but she turned out to be a greedy person.
“You…” The owner of this antique store couldn’t accept it either. If Gu Ning was going to sell it somewhere else, he could have made more money with it too.
Before they could criticize her again, Gu Ning opened her mouth. “Relax, everyone. Since I can tell its difference from other antiques, I know how to deal with it, and I promise that I won’t use it to hurt anyone else.”
