Chapter 484: Chapter 512 Appraisal (Second Update)
Seeing the kid was really upset, as he had already learned a deep lesson, Lin Xi decided not to tease him anymore.
"Cheer up, donât look so grim!" Lin Xi said to Shangguan Hong after taking the drink from the boss and paying for it.
Shangguan Hongâs little face was puffed with anger, and only then did he realize that his brother-in-law was doing it on purpose, teasing him on purpose!
"Damn, how heartless, even such innocent and cute kids arenât spared!"
If the Shangguan family saw this, they would definitely be surprised that the little troublemaker could have such a pitiful look.
As Lin Xi sipped on grapefruit tea, he took out a jade pendant and a porcelain cup from the Jade Pendant Space, glanced at Shangguan Hong, and said, "These two are the real treasures!"
Shangguan Hong was clearly intrigued by what Lin Xi said and moved closer, asking in confusion, "Treasures?"
In his impression, these were given as a bonus when buying "Xin Qijiâs bowl," and were considered miscellaneous items worth a hundred yuan each.
Even with the antique shop ownerâs final gesture, he didnât think these two items were valuable.
Moreover, his foolish brother-in-law clearly wanted something else, not these two items!
Lin Xi understood his doubts but didnât explain. After all, if he couldnât sense a trace of Spiritual Qi or had X-ray Vision, he wouldnât have discovered it.
Even for antique experts, it would be hard to spot!
"Watch closely!" he smiled and said to Shangguan Hong, despite Shangguan Hongâs disdainful look.
The next moment, Lin Xi gathered some True Qi in his hand and covered the surface of the two little items.
In less than ten seconds, the two little items regained their luster, just like the appearance Lin Xi had seen with his X-ray Vision in the store.
The mutton-fat white jade pendant and the porcelain cup with the twelve zodiac signs appeared in front of them.
Shangguan Hong was stunned. Even if he didnât understand antiques, he could tell these items were extraordinary!
He couldnât help but ask, "Brother-in-law, are these the same two items from before?"
"Yes," Lin Xi nodded.
Hearing Lin Xi say this, Shangguan Hong was in disbelief; it was incredible.
How did these items go from looking like trash to something completely different in the blink of an eye?
This brother-in-law is really not performing magic? Otherwise, how did he do it?
"Can I take a look?" Shangguan Hong asked eagerly, his eyes glued to the two little items.
"Of course you can." Seeing his excited little face, Lin Xi laughed.
These two items, you could say, he bought with his own money, and without him, Lin Xi wouldnât have entered that store.
Of course, if it werenât for Lin Xi, he wouldnât have obtained these two items and would have been scammed out of a million.
So, overall, the credit is shared equally.
Lin Xi wouldnât take advantage of him and would eventually give him one item, especially since this is his future brother-in-law, after all.
The two little items were in Shangguan Hongâs hands as he examined them for a long time before reluctantly handing them back to Lin Xi.
"Brother-in-law, can I buy one from you?" Shangguan Hong, having forgotten about the earlier teasing, asked excitedly, "Moneyâs not an issue!"
Lin Xi smiled and shook his head, "Not for sale!"
Shangguan Hong got anxious, knowing such good things are not commonly seen in the market, or if they are, theyâre priceless.
Now, with two right in front of him, how could he let them go?
If he could buy one and give it to grandpa, grandpa would surely love it.
Moreover, he reckoned no one at the big birthday celebration would have a gift better than this.
Then who would dare call him a little troublemaker?
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, my most handsome, most awesome, most amazing brother-in-law, Iâm begging you!"
"If you sell one to me, Iâll always say good things about you in front of my sister, and Iâll always be on your side."
"Iâll report everything about my sister to you from now on!"
"..."
Chattering on and on, Shangguan Hong completely sold out his sister, leaving Lin Xi dumbfounded.
After a while, Lin Xi said, "If you got this item, would you sell it?"
"No," Shangguan Hong replied instinctively, but quickly realized his mistake and corrected himself, "If the price is high, I would sell it, and only to close people."
"Haha, you cheeky kid!" Lin Xi couldnât help but laugh. If he didnât sell it to him, did that mean he wasnât close?
Shangguan Hong couldnât humor that and looked anxiously at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi decided not to tease him any longer, "Letâs first get them appraised to see how much theyâre worth!"
"Moneyâs not an issue..." Shangguan Hong was delighted, but then remembered his Black Gold Card could only swipe two million, feeling a bit worried, hoping the items werenât worth more than that.
Well, he misunderstood!
"Donât worry about the money. Iâll give you one of these two for free. After all, if you hadnât called me, I wouldnât have bumped into this!" Lin Xi explained.
Shangguan Hong was stunned. He suddenly felt he had misunderstood his brother-in-lawâs characterâit turns out he is so generous and upright, no wonder his exceptional sister carries his photo around!
