Chapter 6 The embarrassing moment

As soon as he ended, all the guests were shocked. Everyone in the Chen family was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Victor Chu who had been in the Chen family for three years would be so sharp-tongued today. Only Dinah Chen bit her lip and glanced at Victor. She didn't know how a man was pushed to make such an angry roar. "You idiot, what are you talking about?" Daisy Chen almost wanted to kill Victor on the spot. Since Victor said in front of dozens of people that she had slept with others, she must felt very embarrassed. The distinguished family values etiquettes most and can’t tolerate the destruction of family traditions. And she often dated Carl Guo, which was known by everyone, so Victor did not slander her. "Shut up," the old lady exclaimed, "Take him out of here. I don't want to see him." "Take your bronze bracelet and get out of here." Daisy was also very angry. She picked up the bronze bracelet on the table and was about to hit Victor on the head. "Please wait." At this moment, there was a loud voice from the guests. Daisy suddenly stopped. A middle-aged man wearing reading glasses hurriedly stepped forward and walked to Daisy. "Miss Chen, you can’t throw the bronze bracelet. It will break if it hits the ground." The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his head and said. "Who are you? What does it have to do with you?" Daisy was furious. "Daisy, don't be rude." The old lady said, "This is Master Zhang." "Master Zhang?" "He is an antique expert who has been in the television show of Treasure Appraisal?" "Yes, I saw him on the Treasure Appraisal. He is a special guest." "Special guest? Oh, his name is Guiyan Zhang. He is a famous expert in the antique industry." "It is said that he can tell the year of the antique at a glance." "Why is Master Zhang interested in the bronze bracelet?" Everyone turned their eyes to the bronze bracelet in Daisy's hand. "If you don't like it, I’m willing to spend one million dollars to buy this bronze bracelet." said Guiyan. By now, he finally revealed his intention to buy this antique. In fact, when Victor took out the bronze bracelet, he discovered that this bronze bracelet was very old and valuable. If it was an antique from the Warring States Period, it was absolutely priceless. He thought that the old lady would be very happy to receive such a precious gift. But he didn't expect that the old lady not only didn't know the treasures, but she even drove out the person who gave the treasures. Moreover, Daisy tried to break the treasure. He couldn’t stand by and do nothing. He could spend one million dollars to buy a bronze bracelet? The guests were surprised. The old lady was embarrassed. She just said in front of everyone that the bracelet was a fake. In a blink of an eye, Guiyan Zhang told everyone that it was real. At this time, even a fool could make sure that the bronze bracelet Victor gave was real. "I didn't expect Victor to give grandma a treasure." "What kind of dumb luck did he get?" These words made Carl suddenly feel embarrassed. He didn't expect Victor to give something worth a million dollars. "I don’t care whether his bracelet is real or not. The "Rising Moon over the Sea" sent by Carl is no worse than his bracelet." Daisy was not convinced: "That painting is worth eight hundred thousand dollars? Actually, it is only worth eight thousand dollars." Guiyan sneered. He had never known such a dishonest person. "What do you mean?" "Are you talking about Carl's painting?" Everyone in the Chen family was shocked. "Carl knows what I mean." Guiyan glanced at Carl with disdain. What he hated most were dishonest people like Carl. "I….. what should I know?" Carl stammered. "Do you really think you can fool everyone present?" Guiyan sneered. "I don't understand what you mean." Carl denied. At this time, Guiyan stepped forward. He pinched the painting with his finger, and then the "Rising Moon over the Sea" was instantly torn apart. Everyone opened their mouths wide. Carl was very angry. Guiyan ignored everyone's gaze, and pulled a thin line from the painting and threw it on the table. "Do you understand now?" Guiyan sneered. "Nylon thread?" Everyone could not help but exclaimed. Anyone with a little common sense knows that nylon thread, a synthetic fiber, appeared in 1983. It hasn't existed for more than 30 years until now. The original work of "Rising Moon over the Sea" was painted by the famous painter Daozi Wu in Tang Dynasty for more than 800 years. Everyone was dumbfounded. Carl's look was complicated at this point. He never thought that someone would be able to tell that the painting was a fake. Daisy's face was red and she was speechless. At this point she wanted to disappear immediately. She never thought that Carl would send a fake painting to her grandmother. "Master Zhang, what do you mean?" The old lady was also awkward at the moment. Not only did Guiyan embarrassed Carl, but also he made the old lady embarrass as well. Guiyan took a glance at the calm Victor and said, "I just can't tolerate you being so mean to this young man.” "You're interfering in my family affairs.” The old woman suppressed her anger. If it wasn't for Guiyan's background, she would have had Guiyan kicked out long ago. "A family matter?" Guiyan sneered, "It's not a family matter when it comes to bronze bracelets." "Do you know, if I don't stop your granddaughter today, what consequences your Chen family will face if she breaks this bronze bracelet?" Guiyan said. "Only three pairs of bronze bracelets were produced during Spring and Autumn Period, the other two pairs were long ago destroyed due to war." he continued. "Only one pair of bronze bracelets remains today, so it's no exaggeration to say it’s national treasure." said he. "If your granddaughter breaks the national treasure, maybe the court will find her guilty of destroying the national treasure?" Guiyan sneered. The old lady knew that damaging the bronze bracelet was illegal. Not only would they go to jail, but the Chen family would have to make reparations. "Daisy, bring the bracelets over." The old lady ordered in a deep voice. Daisy nodded and respectfully handed the bracelet to the old lady. “Why would Victor give such a precious thing to the old lady? It almost gets me in trouble.” Daisy thought. After the old woman put away the bronze bracelet, Guiyan knew there was no chance to buy it. He looked around the crowd, trying to find Victor, but Victor had already left the hall. In the evening, as the banquet ended, the guests left. Only some of the core members of the family remained in the inner hall. "The three-year period ends in a month. If we kick him out now we'll be blamed. You shouldn't have gotten so close to another man without breaking off the engagement, although the Guo family is really good." The old lady said to Daisy. "I'm just not happy. Why did you let me get engaged to Victor three years ago?" Daisy said angrily. "I didn't have other choice then. The old man who sent him to our Chen family three years ago used to help our Chen family choose Feng Shui. He was kind to our Chen family, and through his efforts we also have chance to cooperate with Pearl Group, which is why our family grows rapidly. We have to keep the agreement." said the old lady. (Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing people with the surrounding environment.) "Recently, we have a project with the Pearl Group, and I make you the head of the project as compensation for you" the old lady said. Everyone in the room heard this and envied Daisy. Project leader was a good job that could make more money. Even Wenjie Chen was a little jealous of her. Daisy jumped with delight. She rushed up and pulled her grandmother’s hand, thanking her incessantly. Now, her resentment towards Victor disappeared in an instant. Daisy's parents next to her smiled at each other. If they weren't in a formal banquet, they may jump all over the room happily. Daisy thought that her promotion as the head of the project between Chen family and Pearl Group was well worth the three years she put up with Victor. After Victor was kicked out of the Chen family, she would marry into the Guo family, and then their family would have a bright future. Victor didn't know what they were discussing in private. But as things had come to this, he had made his decision. Now that family test ended, there were many things waiting for him. He had to deal with the takeover of Yunhai City's assets first. Although the Chu family wasn't the richest in the world, it was unrivaled in business. The world's top 100 groups were far from being able to compare with it. The Chu family was extremely prosperous, and each of their descendants had to undergo a three-year training period before they could inherit a portion of the family’s assets. Even if someone was in senior position like Victor, there were no exceptions. Tianmen Building was in the center of Yunhai City. On the top floor of the building, the executives of Tianmen Building were already waiting here when Victor pushed the door open.
