Chapter 301 - Accident
After shooting the latest episode, Jiang Yu and Li Yue were invited to participate in the recording of the Antiques Chamber of Commerce. The line-up of guests for the new episode was the same as the previous one. However, Jiang Yu joined the association founded by the three antiques experts.
The host took out a script and began to introduce the first contributor to the appraisal. “Please welcome our first contributor, Mr. He from Hubei. The treasure he submitted is a Song Dynasty Porcelain Cup.”
The staff carefully brought the cup onto the stage, and the host invited the experts and guests to come on stage to watch.
Zheng He and the other two wanted to observe Jiang Yu’s ability again on this episode, so they planned to study it after Jiang Yu studied it.
Therefore, when they went on stage, the three deliberately slowed down their footsteps and walked behind Jiang Yu.
However, just as Jiang Yu was about to approach the cup, someone tripped on her feet. She lost her balance and fell to the side.
When she fell, Jiang Yu’s arm accidentally touched the cup.
“Crack –” The cup fell to the ground and shattered with a sound.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. No one had expected such a change on the stage.
The host was also momentarily speechless and didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, Mr. He rushed out of the backstage and ran to the stage, he pointed at Jiang Yu and cursed, “What’s wrong with you?! Don’t you watch where you’re going? This is a porcelain cup from the Song Dynasty! I spent more than 800,000 yuan to buy it. You just broke it like that?! What’s wrong with you?! Do you believe that I’ll report you and make a complaint?!”
The stage was in a mess. The cameraman did not even have time to turn off the camera before he ran up to the stage and grabbed the agitated contributor.
Jiang Yu stood up with the help of another staff member, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir. I’m very sorry that I broke your cup. I’ll compensate you according to the price you paid for this cup. But before that, please let me see if this cup is real or fake. At least I won’t let you down for coming here.”
When Mr. He heard Jiang Yu say that she was willing to compensate him, the anger in his heart subsided slightly.
He didn’t have to be calculative about Jiang Yu’s request to see if the cup was real or fake, so he agreed.
Jiang Yu picked up the fragment of the cup and looked at it carefully. She said to Mr. He, “I’m very sorry, Mr. He. Your cup is a fake.”
When she said this, Mr. He even forgot about his anger.
“You…” He said in disbelief, “What did you
say?”
Jiang Yu said apologetically, “I’m very sorry, Mr. He. This cup of yours is a fake.”
Mr. He suddenly became angry again and shouted, “Do you not want to pay for it?! I spent so much money to buy it and you’re telling me that it’s a fake?!”
The scene once again became chaotic. Several staff members pulled Mr. He, afraid that he would do something drastic.
At this moment, Qin Yuan said untimely, “Jiang Yu, are you deliberately saying that this cup is a fake because you want to deny this matter?”
She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking like she was watching a good show.
She didn’t know where she got the confidence from, but she felt that this porcelain cup was an authentic one.
