After my pharmacy was opened, I turned my life around.

Chapter 13 The slap in the face comes too fast
"Where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere." Shen Weining patted her shoulder, panting.

"I just went to the toilet, what's the matter!" She didn't mention a word about the beating.

Shen Weining took An Zhiyuan's hand and walked towards the hall, "Come with me, I'll introduce you to the big names in the antique world and a few people from the auction house."

"This is Mr. Sun, one of the first students taught by Mr. Shi. He is now a well-known figure in the antique world."

"This is Master Qin, a leading figure in the antique world. He came back from another place specially to attend Mr. Shi's birthday." She was not in a position to say where exactly.

"These three are the heads of the three major auction houses in Jingdu, Jiangzhou and Yangcheng, Mr. Fang, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Yu."

These people are all influential figures in the industry.

"If I'm not mistaken, the jade hairpin on Miss An's head must have been made in the Fifth Dynasty!"

"Master Qin, you are worthy of being a master. You can see it at a glance." An Zhiyuan couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.

"Haha, I also have a nasopharyngeal bottle from the Fifth Dynasty at home. I bought it at an auction a few years ago and put it in my study. I take it out and play with it from time to time. The patterns on it were very special in that era, so I recognized it at a glance. However, this is the first time I've seen jadeware like this. Miss An, can you lend it to me to have a look?"

"Of course." An Zhiyuan took off the jade hairpin and handed it to him.

Several people gathered together to admire it. The jade hairpin was clear under the light, without any impurities. It was indeed a good piece of jade.

"We often say that gold has a price, but jade is priceless, let alone an ancient artifact that is very old." Master Qin couldn't let it go. "I wonder if Miss An can buy it for me. I'll pay one million."

"Master Qin, this is not very honest of you. You have a nasopharyngeal pot of the same era. Don't fight with us for this jade hairpin. I will give you 1.5 million."

While the two were fighting for it, Fang Weiming took out his business card and handed it to An Zhiyuan.

"Miss An, are you free tomorrow? My last name is Fang, and I'm the person in charge of Xuan Yu Zhai Auction House. I'd like to invite you to our auction house to talk about the jade hairpin in your hand. I promise that I can let you sell it for a good price."

"Lao Fang, this is too unkind of you. The owner hasn't even agreed to sell it yet, and you're already trying to steal the business."

An Zhiyuan took the other party's business card and apologized deeply, "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, I haven't decided whether to sell it yet."

Shen Weining helped her explain, "This is a family heirloom of the Zhiyuan family. When Old Shi first saw it, he wanted to buy it, but she was reluctant to sell it."

"I see." Teacher Fang tried again, "Contact me when you want to sell it."

However, their conversation happened to fall upon Hao Mei and the other person who had just run out. They looked at each other with shock on their faces.

That cheap item is actually worth 1.5 million?

More than that?
An Zhiyuan saw Hao Mei behind him through Teacher Fang, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Master Qin, Mr. Fang, besides this jade hairpin of mine which is a five-generation item, there is another person who has something that is a five-generation item."

"Who?"

Everyone was curious.

"That lady."

An Zhiyuan pointed to the pearl hairpin on Hao Mei's head not far away.

Before Hao Mei could react, everyone had already arrived in front of her.

Fang Weiming was the first to speak, "Excuse me, may I take a look at the pearl hairpin on your head?"

Wang Qingqing spoke first, "This is a fifth-generation ornament. Will you pay for it if it's broken?"

Master Qin saw that her attitude was so bad, he didn't bother to care about their face, and directly said, "This is a fake, and it costs two million. It's ridiculous."

"You are the one who is ridiculous! Xiaomei bought this at the auction held by Xuan Yu Zhai in Kyoto a few days ago for two million. How dare you say it is fake?"

Hao Mei looked very unhappy and kept pulling her arm, trying to make her shut up. Then, a mocking laugh rang out.

"How come I didn't know that our Xuan Yu Zhai had auctioned this pearl hairpin, and I remember there was no auction a few days ago."

An invisible slap hit Hao Mei hard on the face.

Just then, the Shi family servant accidentally touched the birthday gift table when serving wine, and a birthday peach rolled out of the box.

The servants quickly squatted down to pick it up and prepare to put it in the gift box.

"Wait a minute." Fang Weiming saw the birthday peach in the servant's hand and asked seriously, "Who sent this?"

The sound was a little louder to attract the attention of other guests in the hall.

Shi Yi helped Old Shi down the stairs. His eyes fell on the longevity peach in the servant's hand and he could tell there was something wrong at a glance.

He did not open all the birthday gifts given by the guests. Only An Zhiyuan opened it, so he did not know about this birthday peach.

Hao Mei's face turned pale instantly. She didn't dare to stand up and wanted to sneak away.

The brainless Wang Qingqing held her back, puzzled, "Why are you leaving? Didn't you see? Mr. Shi is here, he must like the gift you gave him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know Mr. Shi!"

Hao Mei glared at her fiercely: This idiot.

Just when she was about to shake him off, he pulled her hand and raised it up, "The one who gave the gift is here."

At that moment, she really wanted to die and regretted bringing her in.

"So it's you." Fang Weiming sneered, "That's not surprising. The pearl hairpin on your head is fake, and the gift is also a fake. How did someone like you get in?"

After she finished speaking, everyone was in disbelief, even the women around her looked at her.

Hao Mei's face turned red, and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

In fact, she bought it for two thousand yuan from a person who was responsible for preventing counterfeits through the introduction of a suitor. The person actually guaranteed that it was unrecognizable.

Damn it, he actually dared to lie to her and make her lose face in front of so many people.

An Zhiyuan couldn't believe it and added, "That's impossible. Could you have seen it wrong? How could someone give a fake as a gift?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingqing defended her, "That's right, Xiaomei spent 200,000 yuan to buy this, how could it be a fake? I think you just don't have the skills."

Hao Meila couldn't stop herself and her face turned blue and red.

Fang Weiming retorted, "How could I not know that this authentic birthday peach is the birthday gift I gave to Mr. Shi."

To prove that he was not lying, he took out his own gift from the gift table, opened the lid, and put it together with the fake one.

It’s okay if you don’t compare, but once you do, the real and the fake are obvious.

Everyone scolded them, and Hao Mei and her husband's reputation was ruined. They were kicked out of the Shi Mansion by the Shi family, along with her fake.

After the birthday banquet, the hospital was not far from Shi's house, so An Zhiyuan planned to go to the hospital to see his grandmother. However, he did not expect to be robbed when passing an alley on the way.

The other person was wearing a black baseball cap and a mask on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, so it was impossible to see what he looked like.

An Zhiyuan held on to the strap of the bag and refused to let go.

In a moment of anxiety, the other party, in anger, pulled out a knife and slashed her arm.
