The same jewel was cut in the exact same way, but its price was not even one-tenth that of Allure’s.
Mr. Jonah turned livid with rage. The curator did not know what to do at that moment and said, “Mr. Jonah, please don’t be angry first. There may be some misunderstandings.”
Lu Mengxi calmly said, “Why not let me and Yun An inspect it again?”
The matter was decided.
However, inspecting it again would cause the auction to be delayed.
The guests were all respected collectors, and they all started to get impatient in the hall. Before the curator had a chance to make an announcement, the news was already leaked out. Lin Xiaojuan and the rest thus heard the rumors.
Shen Qianshu claimed that Allure was fake, and it needed to be inspected again.
“Allure is fake? How is that possible? Mr. Jonah is the oldest collector in France, how is it possible that he would auction off a fake jewel?”
“Could it be that Shen Qianshu made a mistake?”
“The Jonah Family would not joke around with their reputation. This is too much of an exaggeration.”
“Is Shen Qianshu a celebrity appraiser in name only?”
Lin Xiaojuan and little Tong Hua worriedly exchanged glances, and inside the hall, it was already buzzing with discussion.
After over an hour.
Both Yun An and Lu Mengxi gave their appraisal results, and they were exactly the same as the original certificate. This was a jewel over a thousand years old.
Shen Qianshu’s eyes widened in shock. In her heart, she thought, This is impossible!
Mr. Jonah’s face darkened, and he looked at Shen Qianshu. “You are not worthy to be an appraiser!”
He turned and stomped off angrily.
The curator took a glance at Shen Qianshu and hurriedly chased after him.
Yun An said, “Qianshu, don’t be angry. These foreigners always disregard other’s feelings. Don’t take it to heart, a misjudgment once is not a big deal.”
He had made a misjudgment before. Thus, he could understand how Shen Qianshu felt.
“I want to inspect it again!”
She might as well inspect it again as Allure was the last item to be auctioned.
Lu Mengxi sneered and said, “Shen Qianshu, your title as a genius appraiser is exaggerated, right? You don’t even live up to its name, and you’re even under Gubelin’s brand. You might as well just be a flower vase.”
Shen Qianshu clamped her fists together. Her face was red with anger.
It was the first time she was insulted by others in her own professional field of work!
First, it was Jonah, and now Lu Mengxi.
She gritted her teeth and held back the immense grievance and indignation pouring out from her heart. She returned to the inspection lab again, and Yun An accompanied her to inspect the jewel. Yun An said, “I repeatedly compared three sections of figures, and there was nothing wrong at all.”
Twenty minutes later.
Shen Qianshu looked up and looked at Yun An. She was baffled. “Do you believe me? This is not the jewel I inspected just now!”
This one was real.
The one she inspected just now was fake.
Yun An frowned and said, “Qianshu ah, are you too tired?”
“I was already very puzzled just now. If this jewel’s age is wrong, I would have already realized that when I was checking the linear data. But why didn’t I realize? It was only until I was inspecting the years that I found out something was wrong. I had no time to re-inspect and could only present my results according to the facts.”
“But, how can it be that someone replaced it with a substitute? Moreover, there is no point to create an exactly identical jewel necklace,” Yun An said.
Shen Qianshu’s mind was in a frenzy, and Yun An said, “Alright, anyway, Allure has been inspected by the three of us. It is ok now that the auction can carry on as planned. This kind of inspection does not have much value anyway, and we are just carrying it out for procedural sake. Don’t think too much, don’t take their words to heart.”
Shen Qianshu and Yun An walked out the backstage together and returned to the auction hall.
Lin Xiaojuan hurriedly asked, “Qianshu, what happened? Why did they say that you inspected the jewelry wrong?”
