Chapter 557: Chapter 558: How Can a Woman with Such Deep Cunning and Strategy be Content…
Zhang Dazhi was furious.
They really saw him as a sucker, and this second miss was a bit too arrogant.
She even held her auction at the same time as Sotheby’s.
Could her informal auction really compare to Sotheby’s?
They were treating him like a fool.
And they invited some so-called “experts” to scam him, too.
Zhang Dazhi angrily approached Xia Weiwei: “The facts are in front of us. Do you have anything to say, second Miss? You just ardently claimed that if it’s a fake, you will repay ten times its value. I don’t want this painting anymore, I hope you can fulfill your promise.”
The auction house was also in a state of chaos.
“This second miss is really unscrupulous, she said she was doing charity, this is simply fraud.”
“The second miss just said if it’s fake, she will repay ten times the amount. One painting is twenty million, if it’s a fake, wouldn’t that be 200 million? Does she intend to pay out two hundred million?”
Greedy for the unattainable, the second Miss is too greedy. She wanted to sell a fake for twenty million, claiming it was for charity. who knows how much will land in her pocket.”
“The Xi Family’s reputation will be completely ruined.”
Xia Weiwei felt her head buzzing.
She hadn’t expected such an accident.
The appearance of Xia Yangyang already made her flustered, now she couldn’t cope at all.
Liu Ruyan had only just left for a while, she hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.
Liu Ruyan quickly took to the stage to smooth things over: “Everyone, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding. This Scroll of Washing Silks was also bought by us at a high price. Now that this accident has happened, we’re also victims. Of course, we have undeniable responsibility for the appearance of a fake at the auction. We will certainly compensate Mr. Zhang for his loss, and we will also call the police, handing this matter over to them, to catch the fraudsters who sold us this painting at a high price and prevent more people from being deceived. I hope you all can forgive us for this unintended mistake. I announce, to make up for this error, I will five million in my personal capacity to Project Hope, and I ask everyone to supervise.”
Liu Ruyan indeed is Liu Ruyan; a few words brought the situation under control.
And in an instant, she went from being a scam artist to a victim.
Xia Yangyang stood among the crowd, quietly watching this woman.
With such cunning and scheming, how could she have willingly been my father’s mistress?
Had my mother’s incidents really had nothing to do with her?
These years, the more Xia Yangyang thought about it, the more it felt wrong.
Zhang Dazhi was almost swindled. He was still far from pacified.
How could he let the incident go because of Liu Ruyan’s words?
Zhang Dazhi spoke: “The second Miss just said if it’s fake, she’ll repay ten times the amount. I just want to know if you guys mean what you say. If not, if it was just for show, how are we to believe Madam’s words just now were true?”
Liu Ruyan was annoyed inside.
This Zhang Dazhi was being unreasonably persistent. Indeed he was a parvenu who had recently come into wealth, did he want to cheat her out of 200 million?
However, Liu Ruyan still had a smile on her face: “Mr. Zhang, we truly are sorry. But Weiwei just adamantly claimed that if it’s fake, she’d pay ten times its value. This just shows she was completely unaware, doesn’t it? If she knew the painting was fake, she wouldn’t dare to say such words. We will give Mr. Zhang reasonable compensation, and we ask for Mr. Zhang’s forgiveness for our mistake today, given that today is my daughter’s birthday.”
Zhang Dazhi didn’t seem to buy Liu Ruyan’s words.
