Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1328: Chapter 1324: Putting on a Front?

“I know what many of you are thinking, you find what I said unbelievable, but I’m just stating the facts.”

“These porcelains have stumped countless seasoned experts, but they are indeed fake.”

“Back then, I felt just like you, unable to accept it. I casually picked up a few items and smashed them, and found a simplified character mark in the shattered pieces, proving that these porcelains are indeed fakes.”

At this point, Huang Zhenlong paused, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd present.

“The reason I brought these porcelains is to tell you a fact.”

“As appraisers, there is no such thing as age or qualifications, and you shouldn’t readily trust what your eyes see. There is always someone better. In the world of treasure appraisal, no one dares to claim they are invincible.”

This statement was clearly an indirect reference to Ma Liwen’s accusation of Huo Sining’s cheating. Everyone present understood the underlying meaning of Huang Zhenlong’s words. Ma Liwen’s face turned red with embarrassment, yet he couldn’t refute a word. Even Jia Bingrong, standing beside him, felt ashamed.

Originally, it was Ma Liwen who accused Huo Sining of cheating during the morning assessment. Now, Huo Sining has proven her innocence with her actions, which is like giving Ma Liwen a hard slap in front of all the appraisers present. It would be surprising if Ma Liwen could take this lightly.

“I don’t need to announce the result of this competition, do I? I think everyone saw Miss Huo’s answer, her capability is beyond doubt!”

After saying those words, Huang Zhenlong directly took out Huo Sining’s answer sheet:

“After these two assessments, we, the organizers, have unanimously decided to appoint Miss Huo Sining as the leader of this international treasure appraisal conference!”

“As for the remaining four spots, we will select them in the final competition. Miss Huo Sining will advance directly and does not need to participate in the final competition.” Huang Zhenlong scanned the crowd and announced loudly.

If anyone was previously dissatisfied or reluctant with Huang Zhenlong’s arrangements, at this moment, facing the large screen displaying those flamboyant words, the appraisers could only bow in acknowledgment of Huo Sining’s ability.

The screen prominently displayed four words: All Are Fakes.

Because of this answer, the only one unconvinced, Ma Liwen, was directly KO’d by Huo Sining’s splendid move.

“Ningning, you’re incredible! You didn’t even look at those items, you just touched them and knew if they were genuine or fake?” Walking along the street, Huang Hanyun couldn’t stop talking.

Ever since learning that the Huaxia team’s representatives for the International Treasure Appraisal Conference would be selected in the Imperial Capital, Huang Hanyun had taken a keen interest in covering it. As a reporter for the TV station, she had been closely following the progress of this assessment for some time.

So during the second round, Huang Hanyun was present at the venue. She witnessed the entire performance of Huo Sining in the second round and made detailed records. Afterwards, she even pestered Huo Sining for a small-scale interview.

Due to Huo Sining’s outstanding performance in the second round, she was directly appointed by Huang Zhenlong as the captain of the Huaxia representative team. In Huang Hanyun’s heart, Huo Sining’s status had skyrocketed to almost a divine level.

Huo Sining laughed and shook her head, “It’s not as exaggerated as you say, I just happened to encounter something familiar, so I managed to pass by luck.”

Of course, Huang Hanyun couldn’t take this statement seriously. Although she wasn’t from the antiques circle, she had spent quite a lot of time wandering around the antique markets in the Imperial Capital with her Huang family siblings since she was young. She knew very well that with antiques and artifacts, not just anyone can tell their authenticity by simply touching them.

Huo Sining defeated numerous veteran appraisers at the treasure appraisal event and directly advanced to become the leader of the international treasure appraisal conference, achieving such a feat and honor was no coincidence.

Huang Hanyun looked at Huo Sining with a kind of blind admiration.

As they walked, they wandered into a handmade gown shop. Suddenly, Huo Sining thought of something and looked at Huang Hanyun with an amused expression, “Hey, I heard you and your boyfriend are planning to set things down and even intend to have your wedding in Provence? Is it true? I remember your guy is an architect, not an artist, why is he chasing Van Gogh now?”

Huang Hanyun’s face turned red, perhaps because discussing this embarrassed her. The typically outgoing Imperial Capital girl became shy, and after hesitating a while, she said, “No, I just want to see the lavender in Provence.”

Huo Sining was speechless for a moment. Isn’t there a lavender garden in the Imperial Capital? Why go to such lengths as holding a wedding in Provence just to see lavender? That’s too extravagant and pretentious, isn’t it?

Seeing Huo Sining’s expression, Huang Hanyun was about to explain when suddenly a sneer accompanied by the words “country bumpkin” came from the side.

Huang Hanyun froze, turning her head to look at who said it.

Just then, she saw two elegantly dressed girls had somehow entered the store, one of whom, wearing a red coat, said to another girl beside her:

“Xiao Yu, I told you before, didn’t I? People in this country, apart from being superficial and pretending to be wealthy, have nothing to offer. I think you and your police boyfriend should end it.”

Pretending to be wealthy? Was she talking about her?

Huo Sining found it amusing. She couldn’t understand, there seemed to be no way to reconcile with this Xing Jiaojiao.

Yes, the woman who insulted her and Huang Hanyun as country bumpkins was the same Xing Jiaojiao Huo Sining had encountered before at Su Zhongqing’s birthday banquet.

Huo Sining was somewhat puzzled, as she really had no grudge against Xing Jiaojiao. If you had to count, perhaps it was because at Su Zhongqing’s birthday banquet, the Sky-blue Glazed Brush Washer she gave overshadowed this woman’s plan to embarrass Liu Pengcheng? But that shouldn’t be enough to hold a grudge, right? What she pointed out was merely the truth: Xing Jiaojiao and Li Hang presented a burial item as a gift, and it was even a fake. It was truly inappropriate, wasn’t it? But does that mean others can’t mention it? Now this Xing Jiaojiao was speaking with underlying sarcasm and staring at her with resentment, what was that supposed to mean?

Huang Hanyun, after a few glances, also noticed something was off, because she realized that the woman spewing the insults wasn’t staring at her but at Huo Sining instead!

“Ningning, do you have a feud with that woman?” Huang Hanyun couldn’t help but tug at Huo Sining quietly, asking in a low voice.
