Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Si Huan’s generosity made Ding Chen feel a little uncomfortable instead.

He said awkwardly, “How many times have I told you not to call me uncle? Also, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just feel that 20 million is not a small number after all. Let’s both put more thought into this and not have any disagreements.”

Si Huan chuckled inwardly at Ding Chen’s awkward expression. Ding Chen had indeed forgotten to pursue the matter of him being too close to Huo Tian.

Si Huan felt that Ding Chen was quite an interesting person. He was clearly very wary every time he saw Huo Tian with him, but he would forget about this matter once he was distracted. Si Huan felt that Huo Tian’s personality was very similar to Ding Chen’s. Was it really as they say that birds of the same feather flock together?

On the other side, two appraisers were using very professional tools to appraise this jade pendant in all aspects. They quickly came to a conclusion too. When they held this jade pendant in their hands, they looked very carefully.

“Mr. Si, Mr. Ding, we’ve been entrusted with the appraisal of this jade pendant and the results are out. This jade pendant is warm, dense, translucent, pure, and spotlessly white like congealed fat. It’s a top-notch suet white jade…”

The two appraisers looked at this jade pendant in amazement as if they were looking at an extremely rare piece of treasure.

When Mrs. Huo heard the appraiser say this, she revealed a look of disdain and said scornfully, “It’s just suet white jade. Although the jade quality can be said to be top-notch, the highest price for suet white jade is no more than 1 million or so. Si Huan, are you really going to let them take a collateralized loan of 20 million yuan With such a jade pendant?”

Si Huan said without changing his expression, “No matter how much this piece of jade is valued on the market, it’s worth 20 million yuan in my hands.”

Mrs. Huo was immediately put on the spot by such a straightforward rebuttal. Her expression was a little stiff as she snorted and said, “You child, I’m doing this for your own good. I’m just worried that you won’t be able to collect back this debt in the future. Even if 20 million yuan is nothing to families like ours, it’s still something we earned through hard work. How can we throw it out for nothing?”

Si Huan’s expression was calm, but he still refused to give Mrs. Huo a way out. He said softly, “Auntie Huo, you don’t have to trouble yourself over this.”

Mrs. Huo’s face had turned green from his repeated lack of respect. She snorted coldly and didn’t say anything else.

When the surrounding people stopped talking, the appraiser said, “Of course, ordinary suet white jade pendants are not very valuable, but this suet jade pendant is definitely not simple…”

The other appraiser added, “There are certain standards for assessing a jade pendant’s value. From an artistic point of view, this jade pendant is a combination of calligraphy, painting, literature, and carving. Other than requiring the creator to have exquisite and skilled carving techniques, it also requires profound artistic, calligraphy, and literary qualities.”

The two appraisers seemed to be singing a duet. After they were done talking, they said, “Moreover, the craftsmanship of the jade pendant is very complete. The symmetry and materials are also excellent. Usually, it’s impossible to make a piece like this from such a large piece of suet white jade. There are no water line cracks or any impurities. Moreover, it’s very dense. It has a very good grease luster and the degree of whiteness.”

One of the appraisers came to a conclusion. “More importantly, the craftsman behind this jade pendant is very creative. If you observe the jade pendant carefully, you will find that this is a set of Yin Yang Jade Pendants. This jade pendant should be a pair with another one and the two can be embedded together. This kind of creative thinking greatly increases the value of this jade pendant. This jade pendant alone is worth 15 million to 18 million. If the other jade pendant is also here, its total value might reach more than 100 million.”

“What? You’re saying that this jade pendant is worth 100 million?!” Ding Chen raised his voice in disbelief. “Oh my god, our family actually hid such a big treasure, and it was placed on my sister’s dressing table. It hasn’t been stolen even after so many years?”

The appraiser smiled and explained, “Mr. Ding, only if the two jade pendants are present would they be worth 100 million yuan. The highest price for this jade pendant alone won’t be higher than 18 million yuan.”

Ding Chen still looked like he could not accept it. He grabbed his chest as if he could not breathe and muttered, “Even if it’s 18 million, it’s already very amazing. I’ve never seen 18 million in my life.”

Huo Tian found Ding Chen’s behavior very interesting, so she picked up the jade pendant and waved it in front of Ding Chen.

“Then Uncle, take a good look at this 18 million. It’ll be collateralized to Si Huan after today. At that time, it’ll be locked in the safe by Si Huan, and it’d be even harder for you to see it.”

Ding Chen’s heart almost jumped out of his throat at Huo Tian’s carelessness. His face turned pale as he held the jade pendant with both hands and carefully placed it in the box. He then turned around and smacked Huo Tian.
