The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 44

The few antique store owners broke into laughter, as Yvonne bit her lips tightly. She looked at Darryl silently, feeling troubled.

The blood tear jade in front of her, no matter the material, color, or craftsmanship, matched the information she researched before this. Why would he claim that it was a fake?

Yvonne thought that Darryl was not the same as what people used to describe him as. It was unexpectable that after meeting him, he was indeed a useless person. No wonder everyone despised him. He did not have any knowledge on antiques at all and was just pretending.

At that moment, Leo and Jack looked at each other and smiled.

They were wondering about Darryl’s background, and now they knew that he was just a live-in son-in-law that everyone looked down on.

S*it! That scared the both of them.

The next moment, Leo, as if he was defamed, rebutted while looking at Darryl, “The lady boss of Pearl Pavilion and the other store owners here all identified that this is a genuine item. All of them are famous antique merchants! You are the only one claiming it is a fake. If you can’t give a reasonable explanation, I will report you to the police, suing you for obstructing our normal trade.”

Oh?

The thief was claiming to be another thief, and their acting was getting better.

Looking at Leo’s serious face, Darryl laughed again. He picked up the blood tear jade from the box, gave it a squeeze in his hands and said slowly, “A blood tear jade was formed because of human blood that flowed into the jade, forming the tear markings. That was how it got its name.”

“Among this, depending on the jade’s material, as well as environmental factors and consequences of other factors, the formation of a blood tear jade was extremely difficult, and hence extremely rare. However, the one that you have here, even though there are some tear marks in it, they were not formed naturally. It should only be intentionally human made.”

“Aside from the tear marks, the material of your jade here, even though they are of good quality and the carvings on the surface is unique, it is not from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Thus, it looks like it was produced recently.”

As he spoke, Darryl lifted the jade, looked at it in detail and nodded, “Yes, there is still a sense of moistness. If I guessed correctly, in order to make it look seasoned, you have intentionally buried it in the ground for a year or more.”

After speaking, Darryl threw the jade pendant back into the box and smiled, “As such, it is just a rather new imitation. As to say that it was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be rubbish.”

Bang!

Darryl’s voice was not loud, but at that moment, everyone heard it loud and clear!

Suddenly, the few antique store owners were all stunned.

This young fella’s words made perfect sense.

Does that mean the piece of blood tear jade was really a fake?
