Breakup at the Start: A Song That Makes Him a Legend, and the School Beauty Pursues Him

"Yes, I went to pick out some things, to see if I could find anything unexpected." Qin Shou put his hand on Lu Mengyao's shoulder and replied with a smile.

So Qin Shou and Lu Mengyao walked along the street picking out things.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "This is a masterpiece of blue and white porcelain, a work by the Yuan Dynasty painter Chen Kai. Look how lifelike the patterns are, how exquisite the craftsmanship! I found it at a friend's place, it's absolutely genuine! This is his family's heirloom!"

There were a lot of people circling around.

I'm simply interested in this blue and white porcelain.

Some onlookers even chattered, saying, "This looks really good quality; if it's real, it'd be worth millions now!"

"More than that, it's worth at least tens of millions!" the vendor exclaimed excitedly. "I went to great lengths to persuade him to sell. If his family hadn't been so short of money, he definitely wouldn't have sold it to me!"

Others were even more skeptical: "Is it really true?"

"They all have certificates of authenticity, there's no mistake, they're absolutely genuine, take a look!" The vendor showed everyone the certificates of authenticity directly.

Lu Mengyao also went over to take a look.

The authentication documents were very detailed, with signatures and seals, and looked very professional.

Others were also eager to buy: "This vase is not only decorative, but also a very precious keepsake, and its price will increase in the future."

"I'm really tempted by the product. I think I should buy one and see, since it has a lot of potential for appreciation."

Lu Mengyao also asked Qin Shou for his opinion: "How about we buy this? The boss really likes these handicrafts, especially unique pieces like this. It should please him."

Seeing Lu Mengyao's excited expression, Qin Shou replied without hesitation, "It's fake."

"Huh? Isn't there a certificate?" Lu Mengyao was also confused.

Perhaps Qin Shou's voice was too loud, because the vendor next to him heard him and suddenly glared at him angrily: "You don't know anything about this, can you please not talk? This is real, how could it be fake? The certificate is here too."

The vendor was even more blunt, saying, "You think you can make me sell this cheaply just because you say it's fake? Don't even think about it! This is in high demand; there will definitely be other big shots who recognize its value and will take a liking to it."

Others pushed up their glasses and chimed in, "Old Chen has been selling goods here for a long time, and he doesn't sell fakes. He has a good reputation."

"Yes, I bought some Ming and Qing dynasty calligraphy and paintings from him last time, and they're hanging in my house. My husband really likes them. He's quite knowledgeable about antiques and thinks there's nothing wrong with them. Old Chen couldn't possibly be selling fakes."

"Experts have already authenticated it; it's not fake. Young man, it's understandable that you have doubts, but you can't ruin someone else's business, right?"

Passersby were all pointing and gesturing at Qin Shou.

Lu Mengyao certainly didn't want outsiders to gossip about Qin Shou, so she immediately stood in front of Qin Shou and said to everyone, "I believe he wouldn't make baseless accusations; he must have his own reasons for saying that."

Seeing Lu Mengyao's unwavering trust in him, Qin Shou felt that he had excellent judgment in finding such a wonderful girlfriend.

While others thought Lu Mengyao was a fool and deserved the same credit as Qin Shou, Qin Shou bluntly said to the vendor, "Can't you mix genuine and fake products? You have a certificate, but that doesn't mean the certificate is real."

The vendors rolled their eyes, then said menacingly, "Are you a fellow vendor, here to deliberately cause trouble and ruin things?"

After these words were spoken, all the inquiring glances from the others were focused on Qin Shou and Lu Mengyao, and most of them were filled with disdain and contempt.

Qin Shou didn't care at all. Instead, he stared coldly at the vendor: "The genuine blue and white porcelain is in Exhibition Area B on the second floor of the Suzhou Museum. It was also unearthed in Hangzhou. Your imitation is very realistic, but the dye is uneven, the colors are wrong, and the certificate is also forged. You can tell by looking at the stamp. It's very clumsy."

He paused again: "If you don't believe me, everyone can search it up and see if what I said is true or not."

Everyone was shocked after hearing Qin Shou's words.

The vendors' expressions turned quite unpleasant.

Lu Mengyao immediately started searching on her phone. After the search was completed, she turned the screen towards everyone and said, "He's right. The genuine article was unearthed five years ago and became an artifact on display."

After seeing the search results, everyone stared at the vendor: "What's going on?"

"I...I don't know either, I guess I was scammed!" The vendor laughed awkwardly.

"Stop pretending. Apart from this cheapest glass bottle, everything else here is a fake. If you don't believe me, get an expert appraiser over right now. You're just here to swindle people," Qin Shou said sternly to the vendor.

The vendor's face immediately darkened.

He had never expected Qin Shou to speak so bluntly.

This caught him completely off guard.

Among the regular customers who had made purchases, after realizing they had been scammed, they were furious: "Fine, I didn't expect you to play us! Give us our money back right now! I was just talking to you!"

"Exactly, it made me want to vomit. I never imagined that the person I've been supporting was such a big liar!"

"I was just dismissive of this young man, thinking he was a conman, but it turns out you're the real conman!"

The others were furious, which panicked the vendor. No matter how he explained, it was no use. In the end, Qin Shou called the police.

The police intervened and, after investigation, confirmed that he was indeed a fraudster.

So the vendor was delighted to receive a pair of golden handcuffs and was immediately taken to the police car.

It's not impressive to spot a scammer; the real problem is spotting the scammer, because many of the items are fake.

That's truly amazing!

The vendors have already announced that everything they're selling is fake, except for that glass bottle, which is genuine.

More and more people gathered around, all of them extremely astonished by Qin Shou's abilities.

"How did you do that, young man? Are you a professional at this?"

"Are you working in the field of cultural relics, such as working for the cultural relics bureau or being a cultural relics appraiser? Otherwise, how would you know there's a problem?"

"You have such sharp eyes! You spotted the problem immediately. You're amazing! Otherwise, many more people would have been fooled!"

Hearing many people praising Qin Shou, Lu Mengyao felt very proud and smiled at him, saying, "You're so amazing! How did you do it? You didn't study this in college."

Qin Shou smiled slightly. He couldn't possibly tell Lu Mengyao that he had a system.

Although he might use cheats, he would never reveal such outrageous things to others.

Qin Shou subconsciously said to Lu Mengyao, "Do you believe it's just a coincidence? I just happened to see this blue and white porcelain at a museum, and I usually do some research on antiques. Someone in my neighborhood works in this field, so I've learned a bit about it through my own experience."
