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

Chapter 48: Stealing chicken but losing rice
"I remember that there was this item, but if she hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"I can only blame myself for bidding too much and getting excited. This is the first time I've come across an auction exclusively for jewelry."

"Me too. I came here for this, but when I got there I found everything was so beautiful that I forgot about it."

……

Realizing that the other party had ill intentions, Chi Feiwan's slightly raised lips drooped instantly.

Zhao Ruohan looked at her pale face, with an uncontrollable smugness on her lips, "Or maybe you didn't do it at all and you are deliberately fooling us."

"Who said there is none?" The assistant came over holding the gift box and faced the guests. "This is the last item in our auction, a headpiece inlaid with kingfisher feathers and gems."

When Chi Feiwan saw the items in the assistant's hands, she was delighted, but when she looked at them clearly, her eyes sank slightly.

Upon hearing this, everyone came forward and admired the last item closely through the glass cover.

"It is truly an exquisite workmanship!"

"It looks even more noble and stunning under the light. If I were to take a picture of it, I would not want to wear it. I would put it at home and enjoy it slowly."

When Zhao Ruohan saw that the pattern inside the glass cover was the same as the one on the flyer, her originally rosy face turned pale in an instant. She rushed to the front in disbelief and pushed through the crowd to find out what was going on.

"This...how is this possible..." she muttered.

An Zhiyuan couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the distraught Zhao Ruohan.

When the other party mentioned 10 or 20 million, she blindly guessed that the matter had something to do with him.

Fang Weiming hasn't found the thief yet, so she can only take out another kingfisher-inlaid headpiece from the system's storage cabinet.

Fortunately, she thought the two were similar, so she only took out one set to be auctioned at the auction house, and temporarily stored the other set in the system.

I didn't expect it would come in handy this time.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to tell the difference between the two, but if you let professionals identify them, there are still subtle differences.

Seeing Zhao Ruohan's aggressive attitude, she didn't care about anything else and quietly went backstage to hand the other set to Chi Feiwan's assistant to put an end to the other party's arrogance.

An Zhiyuan returned to the exhibition hall and walked to the front row, deliberately teasing the other party as a customer, "Why? Isn't this lady clamoring to buy?"

Zhao Ruohan came to her senses and stared at her, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.

He gritted his teeth and said, "An Zhiyuan, it really is you."

An Zhiyuan ignored her fierce gaze and asked, "Why, you can't afford it?"

The tone of the rhetorical question was full of sarcasm.

When Lu Zifeng saw her wearing a black dress and looking so noble, he felt so dazzled that he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

It only took Zhao Ruohan a few glances to notice that the anger in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt, with hot magma rolling in her heart, and it seemed that it would break through the fragile rock layer and erupt at any time.

"You two are in cahoots with each other. I think all the items auctioned today are fake."

Chi Feiwan stood up and said righteously, "Our items will be appraised by the auctioneer before they are auctioned. Please don't slander our auction house here."

An Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and retorted bluntly, "If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. Why are you barking like that?"

"Are you two feeling guilty about being so excited?"

Zhao Ruohan's face was full of ridicule and disdain.

"If you don't want to arouse suspicion, then send a few appraisers over to re-examine it in front of everyone. Do you dare?"

"Let me check it out."

When the voice came, everyone turned around and saw Master Qin standing at the door, and there was an uproar.

When Master Qin stepped onto the stage, everyone made way for him in unison.

Chi Feiwan ordered the staff to present all the items for auction and place them in front of Master Qin.

Master Qin methodically took out the identification tools and identified the items one by one. Half an hour later, Master Qin slowly said, "These are all real."

Zhao Ruohan didn't expect that the person the other party was talking about was him, but that's not how the rhetoric works!

Could he have remembered it wrongly?
She came closer and solemnly reminded him, "Master Qin, take a closer look. Are these fake?"

Master Qin's face was gloomy. He was extremely disgusted with the smile on her face and glanced at her coldly.

"Are you questioning my professionalism?"

This one sentence caused dissatisfaction among the guests present. Master Qin's prestige in the industry is obvious to all, and everyone believes in his professional level and character.

"How can this lady talk like that? You can distrust the auction house, but you must not defame Master Qin's reputation."

"He has examined more antiques than you have eaten salt. He is so young and doesn't know how to respect his elders."

"Auctioneer, this person is clearly here to cause trouble on purpose. Hurry up and get someone to chase her away."

……

Some guests who agreed with her turned against her and even asked the auction house to kick her out.

Zhao Ruohan was so angry that her face turned pale, "What do you ignorant people know?"

"Security, please get these two out."

Zhao Ruohan was yelling wildly and was carried out by several security guards.

Lu Zifeng followed closely behind, and when he left, he looked back at An Zhiyuan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Chi Feiwan did not bid for the last piece of the collection, fearing that the other party would cause trouble again. He ended the auction promptly and ordered the etiquette lady to arrange for the guests to leave.

After the guests left, An Zhiyuan walked up to Master Qin, feeling surprised but also a little confused.

"Master Qin, why are you here?"

"I was just about to leave Kyoto when Fang Weiming called me to come over and asked me to help him with something." Master Qin pointed at the items and said, "I just arrived and heard your conversation."

An Zhiyuan suddenly realized, "So that's it."

When I saw Zhao Ruohan constantly urging the customers to find an appraiser to re-examine the product, I guessed that she must have dug a fire pit in advance, waiting for them to jump into it.

The appearance of Master Qin directly disrupted the other party's plan.

On the other side, Zhao Ruohan left the venue, yelling and screaming like a madman.

Lu Zifeng felt embarrassed and frowned, dragging her to a place with fewer people.

"What's wrong with you today? You knew there wasn't that much money in the account, but you still insisted on causing so much trouble. Aren't you ashamed enough?"

Zhao Ruohan pushed him away violently, her features distorted with anger, her voice almost roaring, "What do you know? All the items in this auction belong to An Zhiyuan. I did these things just to ruin her reputation."

He bribed the appraiser to prove that they were all fakes, and forced the auction house to say that the fakes were all An Zhiyuan's.

Then he secretly filmed a video and posted it online for all the auction houses and buyers to see, making it impossible for her to ever turn things around and avenge Jiangzhou.

But I never expected that the development of events would be different from what I had imagined.

I clearly wanted to embarrass her, but in the end I was the one who was embarrassed.

Lu Zifeng said in disbelief, "What?"

He seemed to have heard a huge secret. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he started to make plans in his mind.

Zhao Ruohan was angry and didn't notice the change in his eyes. She angrily dialed another person's number.

"What kind of person is the appraiser you arranged?"
