Chapter 12 Misjudgment

After Zhao Jiajun's words, the whole class immediately burst into laughter. Many people shouted, "What the monitor said is right. Chen Yu always picks up scrap. He is definitely not afraid of being dirty. I'll give him such a good opportunity to try..."

Chen Yu paid no attention to the teasing of his classmates as he stood up and stared coldly at Zhao Jiajun, and then he said with tit for tat, "No matter how you lick it, it's useless because this dragon shaped jade ornament is genuine."

Zhao Jiajun mocked as if he were looking at an idiot, "Nonsense, how laughable. How can this kind of counterfeit be genuine? Your words are purely stunt!"

"You can't identify, yet you're still laughing at others. The person that's laughable is you! The dragon shaped jade piece professor took out is a genuine product of a low-class civilian craftsman, and its market price is between 20,000 and 30,000." Chen Yu replied with a ridiculing tone.

These words were like poking a hornet's nest. The whole class was boiling with laughter. Zhao Jiajun was the one who knew the most about antiques in the ancient class and was recognized by Mr. Niu. No one believed Chen Yu's words.

Zhao Jiajun held his belly and laughed mockingly, "I'm dying of laughter. Is it really authentic? Do you know what antiques are? When I was young and held Jingde Town's porcelain as a toy, you were playing in a garbage dump!"

Sun Lina, who had a guilty conscience, smiled the most exaggeratedly in order to please Zhao Jiajun.

"Jiajun's family is in the antique business. Can't you see more clearly than him? Don't make a fool of yourself here. Compared with Jiajun, you are not even as good as a three-year-old child when it comes to appreciating antiques!"

Chen Yu snorted coldly. He didn't know that if it wasn't for her making fun of him again and again, Chen Yu wouldn't have exposed her relationship with Wu Yang.

Mr. Niu's face darkened and he said in a blaming tone, "I bought this dragon-shaped jade at the antique market for 60 yuan. I said it was a product from the Song Dynasty, but in fact, it was for test. Chen Yu, why are you saying that is genuine? Haven't you listened carefully to the knowledge I taught in class?"

Mr. Niu didn't quite understand. Chen Yu usually kept a low profile and performed well. Why did he jump out today to sing a different tune and pretend to be lofty?

Since Chen Yu had stepped forward, he had no intention of backing down. He insisted and said, "Mr. Niu, this dragon-shaped jade is indeed manufactured by a professional craftsman. The price is far higher than the price you purchased."

If someone else said that he had picked up a bargain in the antique market, he would be very happy.

However, in the ears of the stubborn Mr. Niu, it sounded like an extremely great mockery. His decades of knowledge couldn't even identify a poor imitation?

"I hate arrogant students who like showing off!" he snapped. "If you fail to provide me with an explanation, I will treat it as though you are disrupting the classroom's discipline and expel you from the classroom. At the end of the year, you can't pass the exam!"

"It's too easy for him to fail the exam. Mr. Niu, we should expel this kind of person who has lowered the level of our school!" Zhao Jiajun said while fanning the flames.

"I hate idiots who don't have much ability, yet still like to show off!"

Chen Yu refuted, stepped onto the podium, took the dragon-shaped jade, and said in a clear voice, "From the outside, it does indeed look like a crude imitation. But after careful observation, I concluded that it's the genuine article. BPatina is only the appearance, but it actually hides the world within. I need soda water and cleaning paint to reveal its true appearance."

"You want to shave off the patina?" Mr. Niu saw through Chen Yu's thoughts. However, he was stubborn and confident in his eyesight. He felt that Chen Yu's efforts were in vain.

"Who would be stupid enough to lower their status by adding a patina of inferior jade on genuine jade? I guess only someone with an abnormal brain like you would do that." Zhao Jiajun ridiculed once more.

He didn't like Chen Yu in the first place. In addition, Chen Yu had spread the rumor in public that Sun Lina had an affair with another man, which made the whole class gossip about them. He hated Chen Yu even more, so he had to vent his anger.

Chen Yu ignored him and waited to slap his face. He guessed that it might be a pair of double knives that wanted to sell the jade of the Qing Dynasty for a better price. However, they weren't skilled enough and ended up with the opposite result.

It was incredible that the counterfeit traffickers and Mr. Niu made mistakes of treasure appraisal at the same time. No one believed it.

While speaking, Chen Yu found a pack of soda powder for cleaning antiques and a cleaning brush on the display shelf in the corner of the classroom.

Chen Yu went to the water room and fetched a basin of warm water. Then, he poured the soda powder into it according to a certain ratio. After that, he put the dragon-shaped jade into the water and soaked it.

It took 15 minutes to soak in the water. During this period, Zhao Jiajun and Sun Lina, the two adulterers, kept mocking and ridiculing Chen Yu. The whole classroom was in an uproar.

Mr. Niu did not care about this at all. He was too confident to look at the changes of the jade. The good impression he had of Chen Yu completely disappeared.

To him, Chen Yu's actions were like a child who had been lacking love for a long time. In order to gain attention, he deliberately made an unconventional action.

"The class is almost over. Are you done? How long do you want us to watch your performance?" Zhao Jiajun urged impatiently.

Chen Yu confirmed the condition of the dragon-shaped jade in the water, and then he looked up with joy and said, "Okay, Mr. Niu, please take a look."

"This is sensational. Other than blank, what else could there be? This is..." Mr. Niu was very disdainful at first, but after glancing at it, his eyes immediately widened and he could no longer take it back.

The dragon-shaped jade paste became loose and fell off, revealing the bluish gray jade inside.

The flawed dragon foot in Zhao Jiajun's mouth hadn't changed at all apart from the peeling off of the paste. Meanwhile, the "extra" dragon tail and forelegs had fallen off.

It turned out that the extra part was added!

Seeing that Mr. Niu was too surprised to speak, the students burst into an uproar. They all stood up and scrambled to see the situation in the basin.

Chen Yu picked up the dragon-shaped jade tool that had changed its shape. In front of everyone, he used a cleaning brush to wipe away the remaining dough bit by bit, revealing a green Nephrite carving that was slightly rough!

"Chen Yu is right, I was really wrong..." Mr. Niu had a complicated expression on his face. He felt ashamed to be corrected by a student. He sighed heavily, turned around and walked out of the classroom.

"Mr. Niu!" Chen Yu called out, revealing a bitter smile. Could it be that his method was too direct, causing Mr. Niu to feel embarrassed and unable to accept it?

The problem was that he didn't have a better way to deal with the adulterous couple's arrogance!

Zhao Jiajun was embarrassed. He lost his judgment on antiques to a scrap collector, as if he had been slapped. His cheeks were burning and turned red and white.

The students in the class were also dumbfounded. No one expected Mr. Niu to make mistakes of treasure appraisal. Chen Yu was right. When did this guy's ability become better than Mr. Niu's?

"If you still have any doubts and don't believe me, you can lick it." Chen Yu raised his head and swept the Zhao Jiajun with his gaze, returning the words this fellow had humiliated him with.

Zhao Junjun, who was proud and cared about his face, could not bear such humiliation. He said fiercely, "Chen Yu, just wait. I will make you pay double for what happened today!"

"Ding-ling-ling!" As soon as she finished speaking, the end-of-school bell suddenly rang.

Chen Yu was about to refute when a cold voice came from the back door, "Chen Yu, get the hell out here!"
