Reborn As Super Heiress

At this moment, Liang Ruicheng saw Huo Sining standing beside Zhou Shitao, his eyes turned, and he couldn’t help but smile as he spoke:

”Mr. Zhou, your judgment is unclear, are you seeing the real or the fake? This is too vague. I see this disciple of yours has been standing silently by the side, perhaps she has a different opinion. Why not let this young lady also speak and express her views?”

As Liang Ruicheng spoke, he extended the microphone in front of Huo Sining.

His purpose was simple: to redirect trouble and drag this little girl, Huo Sining, into the muddy waters. If Huo Sining also expressed uncertainty like Zhou Shitao, he would certainly press for reasons, demanding Huo Sining to point out where the Bronze Artifact appeared uncertain, and then make an issue of it once she stated her reasons.

Liang Ruicheng had already prepared a big basket of rebuttals in his mind, but he absolutely didn’t expect that his plan would be a self-dug grave, because Huo Sining’s next response completely thwarted his plan and stunned everyone present.

”Mr. Liang, my master spoke euphemistically to give you room for maneuver, but since you’re so persistent, I’ll answer on behalf of my master: it’s fake, your Bronze Pot is a modern imitation!”

Zhou Shitao had not yet spoken when the silent Huo Sining suddenly raised her head and assertively declared.

Usually, Huo Sining’s words wouldn’t be so direct, especially in such a setting where everyone in the venue was from the antiques circle. She typically wouldn’t be so blunt, but since this was Liang Ruicheng, Huo Sining didn’t even consider giving him face, so she unceremoniously pronounced the conclusion that the Bronze Pot was a forgery.

As expected, Huo Sining’s words immediately caused a stir in the venue.

Shi Qingyun and Zhuang Xiangyang exchanged glances, both full of shock and confusion, while the other experts in attendance were dumbfounded, and Li Xuanbing looked even more surprised.

Only Zhou Shitao, although surprised for a moment, didn’t seem too worried or anxious, apparently not finding it strange that Huo Sining would say such a thing.

Liang Ruicheng was infuriated by Huo Sining’s definitive words, he didn’t know how many experts had seen this item, even Zhou Shitao only dared to say ”uncertain” and didn’t dare to make a conclusion, yet Huo Sining declared it fake right from the start, which was absurd.

Liang Ruicheng felt angry at Huo Sining’s unfounded remarks but at the same time couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

Originally, he thought Huo Sining would go along with Zhou Shitao’s line and say she was uncertain. Who knew this woman would go the opposite way, clearly wanting to steal the spotlight from him?

Liang Ruicheng had been struggling to find a point to make an issue of, so now that Huo Sining said this, he was just thrilled, thinking to himself, ”Little girl, how dare you try to play tricks on me? Since you’ve handed me the handle, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Hmph, let’s see how I deal with you this time!”

”Miss Huo, is this your own judgment, or is it Mr. Zhou’s opinion? You claim my Bronze Pot is fake, surely you have a basis for that. I spent millions to acquire this; if it’s fake, then I’ll take it as a lesson. But since you say it’s fake, you have to point out where it’s fake, or is it just unfounded talk?”

Liang Ruicheng spoke without aggression, but every word was piercing and sharp. He pointed out that Huo Sining’s words not only represented her own view but also touched upon Zhou Shitao’s face and perspective, while also implying that she was making unfounded and ridiculous statements.

Since Zhou Shitao had already said the Bronze Pot was too perfect and without flaws, Huo Sining was now challenged to explain where it was fake. Given her understanding of Bronze, she indeed had no solid reason to provide.

This was why Liang Ruicheng ridiculed Huo Sining, as he was convinced she couldn’t produce any evidence. If Huo Sining were to counter, well, then she should point out where it was fake.

Seeing Huo Sining standing there speechless, Liang Ruicheng thought he had indeed stumped her, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy, his face showing deep mockery: ”Miss Huo, if you can’t say, may I assume you’re here to intentionally disrupt?”

In truth, Huo Sining couldn’t articulate where the Bronze Pot was fake; with just her understanding of Bronze, without her Heavenly Eye’s perspective, she wouldn’t be able to find fault with it.

Yet it was undeniable that the Bronze Pot was an imitation of Zhong Fang’s work. Searching her mind for how to explain, she suddenly heard Liang Ruicheng accuse her of trying to disrupt the event.

Upon hearing the word ”disrupt,” a sudden flash of inspiration hit Huo Sining, and she smiled with her mouth playing an elegant curve: ”Mr. Liang, aren’t you a bit too hasty? I haven’t even spoken, and you’re already saying I’m here to disrupt. Do you want me to speak, or not?”

Liang Ruicheng’s face froze at these words.

”Miss Huo, please proceed.” Liang Ruicheng’s face turned solemn as he restrained his emotions, twitching his mouth slightly to gesture for Huo Sining to continue.

His gaze darkened, and looking at Huo Sining with ill-intent, he thought: I’d like to see what you, a spineless thing who can’t even understand what Zhou Shitao couldn’t, can come up with!

”Since I dare to say this Bronze Pot is fake, I naturally have my evidence.”

Huo Sining’s voice was crisp, and everyone in the venue could hear through the microphone. Hearing such confident words from her, people became curious, looking towards the stage eagerly awaiting her next words.

”This Bronze Pot is indeed very perfect; even among unearthed artifacts, one rarely sees such a brightly colored, flawless piece. If it were a different shape, I might not be able to find any faults, nor dare to rashly speak about its authenticity. However, with this Bronze Pot, there is a very crucial reason I can.”

At this point, Huo Sining intentionally paused, looking up to smile at the eager crowd, clearly wanting to keep them in suspense.

The audience waited eagerly, even Xu Shilong was a bit anxious: ”Miss Huo, what exactly is the reason? Quickly, please, don’t keep us in suspense.”

Shi Qingyun and Zhuang Xiangyang also caught by curiosity, chimed in: ”Yes, tell us quickly, don’t leave us hanging, everyone is waiting!”
