Chapter 132 - Once a Fake, Always a Fake
The crowd’s discussion caught Yu Keqin’s attention.
He closed the jewelry box and placed it in Luo Chenxi’s hands.
He turned around and walked toward a female designer who was holding a cell phone. “If I may ask… What were you guys talking about just now? I think I overheard someone saying that Bao Shi Jewelry is scamming their customers?”
The female designer became very embarrassed. “Uh, I…”
She dared not imply so, but from the picture on Weibo, both bracelets did look almost the same!
Yu Keqin saw her erratic gaze, he walked closer and looked at her cell phone.
The next second, he became stunned.
“Miss, do you know where this picture on Weibo was taken?”
“Ah? This picture…”
The female designer seemed to have guessed something. She stole a glance at Wu Lingshan as she hesitated to speak.
“Director Yu, this picture should have been taken during this afternoon in this exhibition hall.”
Luo Chenxi walked over slowly and said with a smile, “Speaking of which, I do find it a little strange. A participating designer brought this bracelet to the exhibition today and claimed that it was a limited edition, one and only one in the world, but in the end, it looks exactly the same as the one that you just gave me. Just how many of this limited edition bracelet is out there?”
Yu Keqin’s face was ashen, “How can that be? Miss Luo, please don’t misunderstand! There’s only one of this limited edition bracelet in the world, in the name of my reputation, I can guarantee that I’m telling the truth! Bao Shi Jewelry will never stoop so low and do something like this! The bracelet in the picture is definitely a fake!”
Immediately, an uproar rose in the hall.
“What’s going on? Wu Lingshan’s bracelet is a fake? How is that possible?”
“What’s impossible? Didn’t you hear what Director Yu just said? Will someone like Director Yu carelessly frame her like this?”
“But… but, why would Wu Lingshan lie to us? She’s even such a rich person!”
“So what if she’s rich? Do rich people not lie? I’ve already thought it was strange, how does she remain so calm even after losing a jewelry that is worth seven million? She was even acting all forgiving and noble. It seems to me that the bracelet was fake right from the start, so it didn’t cause her any feelings of distress!”
Everyone present felt cheated by Wu Lingshan, so they all started criticizing her.
Only Zuo Xiaoqing glared at Luo Chenxi with a face full of unwillingness.
How could that b*tch have such a rich pursuer? That pursuer even gave her such expensive jewelry!
What right did she have?
It’s a lie, this must all be a lie!
She said angrily, “Enough! You filthy poor b*stards, do you know how rich Miss Wu is? Do you really think she would buy a fake? Luo Chenxi, I think you’re the one behind this. Did you collude with someone and deliberately spread rumors that Miss Wu’s bracelet is fake to cover up the fact that you stole it?”
Hearing Zuo Xiaoqing, Wu Lingshan almost fainted from anger on the spot.
She dared not say another word, so she had been staying silent as she slowly backed away to the corner of the hall in an attempt to hide herself so that no one would notice her.
This way, Wu Lingshan would not make a fool of herself any further.
She did not expect this brainless idiot, Zuo Xiaoqing to be dumb enough to blurt out something like that!
This idiot is going to drag Wu Lingshan down to her grave for sure!
As expected, after hearing Zuo Xiaoqing’s accusation, Luo Chenxi did not appear shaken, but Yu Keqin on the other hand could not stand it anymore.
“You openly stole our company’s exclusive design, yet you dare pretend to be the victim? Do you think I have no proof? The proof is right here, it’s written in this picture!”
He glared at Zuo Xiaoqing, walked to the middle of the crowd, and raised his cell phone.
“Everyone, please have a look at this picture on Weibo. The edges of these flowers and twigs are very rough, there are a few places that aren’t completely polished, while the one with Miss Luo is perfect in every detail, and these scattered diamonds are obviously way smaller than the real one, their luster is also duller by a lot… Now let us take a look at this part…”
After a few sentences from Yu Keqin, the crowd completely understood the situation.
“That’s right. From a closer look, the craftsmanship on Wu Lingshan’s bracelet does look rougher than the real one…”
“Never fear an appraiser, but fear the results when an item gets compared to its counterpart. Today’s incident has been an eye opener!”
“Once a fake, always a fake. Once compared to the real one, the inferiority of the other will become obvious!”
…
“Moreover, when has the value of Bao Shi’s jewelry plummet so deep down? A one-and-only-one bracelet in the world that is worth only seven million? Hmph, you can add another zero to the number and you still won’t be able to afford it!” Yu Keqin added coldly.
