Chapter 196 Sarcasm
One of the jade carvings inside couldn't withstand it either and snapped into two pieces!
Wan Qingyan's face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly picked up the jade carving in a panic, her eyes turning red immediately.
This was the only memento her father had left her!
Uncle Wang was completely stunned with fear.
As the manager of the antique shop, how could he not know the pivotal importance this jade carving held in Wan Qingyan's heart?
Now, because of him, the jade carving had snapped in two. He was so terrified that his soul almost left his body, and he quickly explained, 'E-Eldest Miss, I-I didn't mean to!'
'I don't know why, but my hand went numb instantly, so I...'
Before he could finish speaking.
Wan Qingyan urged him, 'Is now the time for excuses? Hurry up and find someone to fix it!'
Things had come to this.
What was the use of getting angry?
'Then I'll go find the Artifact Restoration Expert!'
Uncle Wang quickly agreed.
He also felt guilty.
Having worked at the antique shop for so many years, he had never caused such an accident before!
If he didn't get this jade carving fixed, how would he have the face to continue working in this shop?
The Artifact Restoration Expert Uncle Wang referred to was the antique shop's specially hired cultural relic restoration expert, Artifact Restoration Expert!
Artifact Restoration Expert held a pivotal position on the entire antique street and was a titan in the antique world.
Seeing what had happened, a thought-provoking smile curled at the corners of Ye Fan's mouth.
Things were proceeding according to his plan, and he would soon win Wan Qingyan's favor!
In less than five minutes.
An old man in a Tang suit walked in, followed by the antique shop manager, Uncle Wang.
'Artifact Restoration Expert, this jade carving is extremely important to Eldest Miss. I hope you can help her restore it to its original state no matter what!' Uncle Wang said respectfully.
'Let me take a look.'
Artifact Restoration Expert reached out and took the jade carving, examined it carefully, and frowned, 'It was dropped quite hard!'
'Can it be fixed? As long as it can be fixed, money is no object!' Wan Qingyan asked, her eyes red, clutching onto a glimmer of hope.
Artifact Restoration Expert nodded and said, 'Miss Wan, I cannot guarantee a one hundred percent success rate, but I will give it my all and do my best!'
'As for the money, it's just a small matter, so there's no need to mention it! Given how Miss Wan usually takes care of me, if I were to ask for money for this, it would be too distant!'
No amount of money could compare to a favor from the Wan Family!
Artifact Restoration Expert was certainly aware of this, which is why he didn't mention the price at all.
'Then I'll have to trouble you, Artifact Restoration Expert.'
Wan Qingyan pressed her lips together tightly, looking truly pitiful.
Many of the men at the scene couldn't take their eyes off her, wishing they could rush up and comfort her!
Ye Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This woman was indeed a stunner!
And the reason Ye Fan chose Wan Qingyan as his target was also because he was attracted to her beauty!
Having been a Son-in-law who lives with the wifes family in the Xia family for so many years, Ye Fan hadn't even touched Xia Qingzhu's hand.
After all, he was a man.
Facing such a peerless beauty like Xia Qingzhu every day, it would be impossible to say he had no thoughts.
It was just that for the sake of his grand ambitions, he didn't dare to force anything.
Now that his strength had recovered and he was gradually on the path to rising, he naturally had to consider his physical needs.
And Wan Qingyan was definitely a woman worthy of his status!
The antique shop staff brought the materials for repairing the jade carving, and Wan Qingyan immediately began mixing them.
This key formula for repairing jade carvings was passed down from Artifact Restoration Expert's ancestors and was very effective.
'What is Artifact Restoration Expert going to repair?'
'It seems to be Miss Wan's jade carving!'
'It's rare to have the chance to see Artifact Restoration Expert make a move; I must learn a trick or two!'
The guests in the shop whispered to each other.
Jiang Chenfeng saw this scene and secretly shook his head, finding it a bit comical.
This kind of plot trope was just too familiar.
It was nothing more than letting passersby talk about how skilled Artifact Restoration Expert was.
This way, when Ye Fan stepped up to show off and slap faces, it would feel even more satisfying!
A problem that even Artifact Restoration Expert couldn't solve was eventually solved by Ye Fan, the Son-in-law who lives with the wifes family. Wasn't that where the satisfaction came from?
After Ye Fan solved the difficult problem, he would gain a great reputation and, at the same time, win Wan Qingyan's favor.
[Ye Fan! Hurry up and go! You must be impatient, right?]
[Hurry up and go stop Artifact Restoration Expert, and draw everyone's attention to yourself!]
[If I'm not mistaken, you're about to say this, right? 'Old sir, your method of restoration is wrong. If you follow your restoration method, it will cause irreparable damage!']
Such a voice appeared inexplicably in Wan Qingyan's mind.
After hearing this voice, her expression changed slightly. She immediately frowned and scanned her surroundings.
What was going on?
Who was talking?
But she saw the crowd around her, who didn't seem to have heard these words; they didn't react at all.
Was she hallucinating?
'Old sir, your method of restoration is wrong. If you follow your restoration method, it will cause irreparable damage!'
Just at that moment.
Ye Fan had already pushed his way through the crowd, walked up to Artifact Restoration Expert, and gave a serious warning.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Wan Qingyan widened her beautiful eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Th-this...
What was going on?
Why was what this guy said exactly the same as what she had heard in her mind?
But the voice in her mind was clearly completely different from this guy's voice in front of her!
What on earth was going on?
Artifact Restoration Expert, who was just about to start repairing the jade carving, heard Ye Fan's words and couldn't help but stop what he was doing and look up at Ye Fan.
He looked him up and down, revealing a look of confusion.
The other party was so young; how dare he say such things?
The rest of the people at the scene also noticed Ye Fan, and some directly recognized Ye Fan's identity.
'It's him? The Xia family's Son-in-law who lives with the wifes family, Ye Fan!'
'Oh? It's actually this good-for-nothing. How did he end up here?'
'Why isn't this good-for-nothing at home sponging off his wife? Why is he here talking nonsense?'
'Exactly! A good-for-nothing who sponges off his wife, daring to talk nonsense here?'
'He probably doesn't know who Artifact Restoration Expert is, which is why he dares to spout such nonsense here!'
The crowd at the scene ridiculed and mocked him, launching a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
These were scenes that were bound to happen.
If these people didn't ridicule him, how could Ye Fan's face-slapping routine proceed smoothly?
Hearing the words of the crowd, Ye Fan ignored them completely, his eyes fixed on Artifact Restoration Expert.
He was already used to such scenes!
He had lived through it like this for so many years!
Upon learning Ye Fan's identity, Artifact Restoration Expert couldn't help but frown.
