799 Is Your Grandmother Empress Dowager Cixi?
Xu Jingxin nodded confidently. “Of course I’m sure. If you can sell it…”
Before she could finish, she suddenly heard a voice behind her. “Brother, are you selling that hairpin? I’m willing to pay 100,000 yuan.”
The two of them turned around and saw a Mercedes-Benz G parked by the roadside. A man was sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at them with a smile.
This man was about twenty years old and was quite handsome, but when he smiled, he always gave off a sinister feeling.
If it was not for the Peng City license plate on the front of the car, Xu Jingxin would have thought that this guy was hired by Ye Feng. He was actually willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy that hairpin? Are you stupid and rich?
However, what surprised her was what happened next.
She thought that Ye Feng would agree without hesitation. After all, it was not easy to meet such a stupid buyer.
However, she did not expect Ye Feng to reject him directly: “I’m sorry, the hairpin is not for sale.”
Xu Jingxin looked at him blankly. She did not know what he was thinking. It was already 100,000 yuan, and he was still not selling it?
The man didn’t seem surprised by his refusal. He just grinned. “I really like this hairpin. Name a price. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can accept it.”
Ye Feng was still unmoved. “It’s better not to open it. You can’t afford it anyway.”
The man was still a little unwilling to give up. “To be honest, the quality of your hairpin is very ordinary.”
“The reason why I want to buy it is because my grandmother used to have an identical one. Later, she accidentally broke it. I want to buy it back to make her happy.”
“How about this? I’m willing to buy it for 500,000 yuan.”
Hearing his words, Xu Jingxin was also touched by his filial piety, and the other party’s offer was indeed not low. She immediately turned to Ye Feng. “I think he’s quite sincere. Why don’t we sell it to him? It can also be considered as helping his grandmother fulfill her wish.”
Ye Feng ignored her. He stared at the man for a while. “Your grandmother also has the same hairpin? Then may I ask, is your grandmother Empress Dowager Cixi? Or the nanny beside the Empress Dowager?”
That young man clearly understood. He was still hoping that Ye Feng did not see through the origin of this hairpin and wanted to buy it at a low price.
Now that the other party had pointed it out, he did not continue to pester him. He just smiled faintly and drove away.
Xu Jingxin saw that Ye Feng had made the man give up with just one sentence, she was even more confused. “This… What is going on? Why did he leave after hearing your words?”
Ye Feng did not answer her question. Instead, he teased: “You just said that as long as this hairpin can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan, you will agree to any of my requests.”
Xu Jingxin’s face turned red and she immediately tried to deny it. “I said I’m selling it, but you’re not selling it.”
Ye Feng snorted lightly. “I knew you would go back on your words. Do you want to know why I didn’t sell it?”
Xu Jingxin quickly nodded. She was very curious. If she did not solve this mystery today, she would not be able to sleep at night.
Ye Feng did not answer her directly. He took a photo of the hairpin and sent it to Chen Qiushan.
Less than a minute later, the other party sent a long voice message.
“D*mn, Brother Ye, aren’t you too awesome? If I’m not wrong, this is the hairpin that the Empress Dowager likes the most, right? Where did you get it? How do you always get such rare treasures? This hairpin must be auctioned at our auction house. I guarantee that it will be auctioned for a good price…”
He rambled on and on in one breath, but Xu Jingxin still understood. This hairpin was actually worn by Empress Dowager Cixi? Then, its value would be difficult to estimate.
No wonder when that person heard Ye Feng mention ‘Empress Dowager Cixi’, he left dejectedly.
“That person is too despicable. I thought he really wanted to be filial to his grandmother. I didn’t expect him to be so shameless!”
She was so angry that her face turned pale. She was even kind enough to persuade Ye Feng to sell it for 500,000.
Fortunately, Ye Feng did not listen to her. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss.
Although she did not know the exact value of this hairpin, it was definitely not just 500,000 yuan.
For a moment, she felt ashamed.
Ye Feng then sent a voice message to Chen Qiushan: “Brother Chen, please help me estimate the price, see how much this hairpin can be sold for?”
Chen Qiushan quickly replied, “This hairpin has a very high historical value. It can definitely be considered a treasure. If I were to set a price, it would definitely be more than 30 million…”
When Xu Jingxin heard this, she was stunned again.
Although she knew that this was the hairpin worn by Empress Dowager Cixi and knew that its value would not be low, she did not expect it to be so ridiculously high.
“Ye Feng, I’m sorry, I was actually deceived by that person’s flowery words just now. I even advised you to sell the hairpin to him. You won’t blame me, right?”
Young Miss Xu usually had a smart look on her face. Now that she suddenly admitted her mistake, Ye Feng could not help but laugh.
“Let’s talk about the promise you just made.”
