Shen Qingyue said, “Then take it out and let’s have a look.”
Shen Qingxue turned back and tugged on Shen Xiang’s sleeve.
Shen Xiang quickly made a phone call to have the item delivered. With the loud declaration of ‘over five million’ just now, everyone present was drawn in.
Seeing the change in the eyes of the crowd, Shen Qingxue proudly introduced, “This piece of official kiln porcelain is an item used by ancient emperors. The shape, glaze color, body texture, and artistic level of the porcelain are all top-notch…”
Shen Jun was initially a little upset with Shen Qingxue, but now he felt somewhat relieved after receiving the gift. Knowing Shen Xiang’s stingy
nature, he was surprised that he was willing to spend so much money to buy him a gift, which meant he still cared about his older brother.
Shen Qingyue quietly waited for Shen Qingxue to finish before saying, “It seems this porcelain is quite impressive indeed. However, in the world of antiques, there are many counterfeits… Coincidentally, today I have invited a master appraiser known to my grandfather to join the birthday banquet. How about we have him take a look? We can broaden our horizons too.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingxue’s smug expression instantly disappeared. She was always impatient and could not help but raise her voice, “Are you suspecting that we deliberately gave you a fake? My grandfather and I selected this piece with great care. How could it be fake?”
“Why would you think like that? I’m just worried that you might be deceived.
But your reaction seems a bit excessive. I hope I haven’t guessed right…” Shen Qingyue smiled gracefully but her tone was cold.
Shen Xiang saw that the situation was not right and quickly interjected, “Qingyue, Qingxue is upset because she feels you doubt her sincerity. She’s a bit worked up. This gift was chosen by both of us, and it’s definitely authentic. With so many people here tonight to celebrate Grandfather’s birthday, causing a scene like this is inappropriate.”
Shen Qingyue remained silent, implying her agreement. Today was Shen Jun’s 70th birthday, and as long as Shen Xiang’s family behaved, she did not want to ruin Shen Jun’s mood. Besides, Shen Jun must have figured things out by now.
However, she did not want the situation to escalate too much, and Shen Qingxue was not one to back down. When the servants were instructed to take the porcelain away, Shen Qingxue took the opportunity to bump into Shen Qingyue as she passed by.
Shen Qingyue was already prepared for this, after all, she had experienced this scene in her previous life. She swiftly dodged to the side.
Shen Qingxue deliberately stepped on her own skirt, putting in some force to make the fall look more realistic. Now that Shen Qingyue had dodged, she could not stop herself and fell towards the ground.
Crash!
The sound of breaking glass and pottery was exceptionally sharp.
Originally, Shen Qingxue intended to collide with Shen Qingyue, but since Shen Qingyue had moved away, she ended up colliding with a servant. Strictly speaking, she fell together with the porcelain, so it could be considered staged, but the broken pieces still hurt people. She got her palm pricked. Moreover, she had stepped on her own skirt, and during the fall, the dress experienced a strong force of tension, causing her strapless tube dress to be torn off, revealing her flesh-colored breast adhesive directly.
For a moment, the scene fell silent for a few seconds, then low murmurs erupted, and even some young people took out their phones, ready to take pictures.
Shen Qingxue’s face turned red, not only was her palm bleeding, but she had also exposed herself. She felt like she was going crazy. How would she face people in the future?
The male servant was the first to react since the porcelain was knocked from his hands. He hurriedly used his clothes to cover Shen Qingxue. But what needed to be seen was already seen.
Shen Qingxue was assisted to her feet, feeling like she was going insane. She pushed the male servant away and questioned Shen Qingyue, “Did you intentionally dodge just now?”
Shen Qingyue replied casually, “Do you expect me to fall with you? Or do you want me to get knocked over? Younger Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Shen Qingxue avoided eye contact, feeling guilty. “You’re talking nonsense!”
She was not good at hiding her emotions, and perceptive individuals could easily notice her evasiveness and unease.
Shen Da could no longer stay silent either. He had not expected his daughter to create so much commotion in one night, and it had all become a laughingstock. He sternly said, “Shen Yiyan, take your sister back.”
Shen Yiyan nodded and took Shen Qingxue away.
The more Shen Qingxue thought about it, the angrier she became. It was all Shen Qingyue’s fault! If she had not dodged, how could she have been so embarrassed? She wanted to rush back and slap Shen Qingyue!
Shen Yiyan understood her intentions and held her tightly. Their family had already lost all face because of Shen Qingxue tonight. If they let her go back now, Shen Jun would not let them off easily..
