Chapter 1727: Crazy Hints!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Oh?” Anjou Taylor looked bewildered.
Anjou Prince quickly moved closer to Ye Feng’s ear. As she pushed him towards Anjou Taylor, she whispered, “I’ll be counting on you later, dear.”
“My father always likes to introduce me to the top second-generation heirs of Fog City and interfere in my personal life.”
“Just show off to him and prove that my judgment is not inferior to his. Completely dispel his thoughts of interfering with me.”
As she spoke, she quickly raised her head and looked at Anjou Taylor again. “I’m serious.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the questions now.”
Anjou Taylor heard this and looked at Ye Feng curiously. “Is what Prince said true?”
“Are you willing to accept my test?”
Ye Feng was not in a hurry to speak.
Anjou Prince nodded repeatedly. “He’s willing!”
“But before Ye Feng accepts your test, you have to promise that if he passes your test, you will not stop me from being with Ye Feng in the future!”
“OK!” Anjou Taylor nodded slowly. “But since you’ve made a request, I have to make a point. If your boyfriend doesn’t pass my test, I’ll let you know. Then you’ll have to listen to me obediently on personal matters in the future.”
“Earlier, I met a very capable young man from China at the Queen’s Hotel. I think highly of him. He has many Chinese elements that you like…”
Ye Feng suspected that the man was talking about him.
He saw Evans Husheng secretly winking at him when Prince was not paying attention and Anjou Taylor was saying these words. He probably understood.
Did Anjou Taylor want to stop him from being together with Anjou Prince?
On the contrary, he admired him and supported his relationship with Anjou Prince.
However, for some reason, he chose to temporarily hide their acquaintance in front of Anjou Prince.
Then… Should he pretend not to know them for the time being and play along with them?
But beside Ye Feng, Anjou Prince quickly interrupted Anjou Taylor. “No problem!”
“Anyway, I have confidence in my darling!”
“He will definitely pass your test and surprise you!”
“Deal!” Anjou Taylor stood up from the recliner and turned to Ye Feng. “This Mr. Ye is good at antiques, Chinese martial arts, and medicine?”
Seeing this, Anjou Prince also looked at Ye Feng, at the same time, she gave him a meaningful glance.
Ye Feng nodded. “Indeed, I know a little bit about it.”
“It’s simple then.” Anjou Taylor smiled slightly. “Husheng, arrange for someone to send over the few pieces that my partners sent to my lounge two days ago.”
“Also, get my bodyguards ready. They’ll practice with Mr. Ye later.”
Evans Husheng immediately responded. Then, he walked to the side and took out his phone to make a call.
A few minutes later, a few staff members in uniforms with good appearances and temperament walked over with three items in their arms.
“Mr. Anjou!” When they walked over, the staff members all bowed to Anjou Taylor in unison.
Anjou Taylor waved his hand, indicating for them to stand in a row in front of Ye Feng. “This Mr. Ye is an antique merchant from China.”
“Let him take a good look at my collection.”
“Ask him to estimate the price.”
Ye Feng could naturally tell that these words were meant for him.
The staff members immediately obeyed and stood in a row in front of him. Each of them looked at him with a faint smile.
He only glanced at them before turning to look at Anjou Taylor. “These are all child’s play for the top antique merchant in China.”
“Uncle, do you want to consider increasing the difficulty?”
Anjou Taylor was surprised when he heard that. “Child’s play?”
“These three items all have extraordinary origins.”
“Even the person who gave it to me said that the three items were ‘unique’ in the Sun Never Sets Empire. But you said that they were child’s play?”
Ye Feng’s expression did not change, he first looked at the leftmost of the three staff members, as well as the Golden Pot that she was dragging on her tray. “The Golden Pot used during the reign of Elizabeth I.”
“But it’s a defective product. Although the body, spout, and cover of the pot are normal, the bottom and handle of the pot are damaged. The complete appearance that is presented to us now is repaired by later generations with modern craftsmanship.”
“It’s indeed worthy of being called ‘unique’ because this thing is made from the real thing. Moreover, the level of forgery and craftsmanship is very high. It can completely pass off as the real thing…”
He spoke with assurance.
However, Anjou Prince walked in front of the Golden Pot. She put on white gloves on both hands and took out a magnifying glass to appraise it seriously.
After the appraisal was completed, she looked at her father with a suspicious expression. “Reveal the correct answer, Father.”
“This thing does seem to have some tricks up its sleeve.”
“I’ve been working at Sotheby’s for a long time, but I can’t see anything unusual.”
“There are some historical traces and some small flaws in it. They are all natural…”
Anjou Taylor’s eyes flashed with surprise, he looked at Ye Feng. “It seems like Mister Ye has some skills.”
“This Golden Pot of Elizabeth I is indeed created by an extremely sophisticated forging technique. It can be said to be a fake forged from the real.”
“Previously, I was familiar with several famous collectors in the collection industry who had teamed up to appraise it, but they couldn’t find any problems. Later, an academician from the materials industry helped us use a scientific material analysis method to detect the problem.”
“The method and craftsmanship of the forgery is just as Mr. Ye expected. The bottom and handle parts were later repaired and made to look old…”
Ye Feng was not surprised, he nodded and looked at the second item.
Anjou Prince heaved a sigh of relief, she quickly said to her father as if she was taking credit. “I told you that Ye Feng was not lying!”
“His antique appraisal skills are top-notch!”
“To him, this is child’s play!”
“Just by seeing the clues of this Elizabeth I Golden Pot, it is indeed enough to prove his attainments in the field of antiques.” This time, Anjou Taylor did not deny it. “However, whether or not he is considered top-notch, and whether or not he has the right to say that appraising these three antiques is child’s play, we still have to wait and see!”
“Let’s wait patiently.”
“Let’s see if your boyfriend can still surprise us.”
“…”
