Chapter 49 Appraising A Treasure
Chapter 49 Appraising A Treasure
Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This was the perfect proverb for the current situation. And Jia Hao was the oriole.
Li Tao thought his plan was perfect. However, he never thought it was long seen by Jia Hao's Sage's Divine Eyes and he even made a counter plan for it.
The moment Jia Hao saw Li Tao taking Su Yunqi inside the room, he went to Lin Mei.
" What? You want me to ask my dad to keep Li Tao occupied?" Lin Mei was baffled when she heard Jia Hao's words.
" See? Not that hard request. I am sure you can do this." Jia Hao chuckled.
" And, Can I know the reason?"
" No."
" What a bastard." Lin Mei snorted as she turned around. " I will message you when it happens."
" That's my girlfriend. How meticulous."
" Bah! Whois your girlfriend!" Lin Mei blushed as she hurried and walked away.
After the work is done, Jia Hao went to Su Yunqi and stopped her from drinking her drink.
In fact, the drink had no aphrodisiac, just sedative. And, Jia Hao didn't drank it either.
He simply pretended to taking a sip and used the ability of Pot of Miracle to store that sip of juice.
And after that, he put an oscar worthy performance about how he got drugged by an aphrodisiac.
Guess what? His plan worked the exact way he wanted. Jia Hao couldn't help but thank Li Tao. Originally, the developement between Su Yunqi and Jia Hao would have taken a lot of time.
But thanks to this event, a seed of confusion has been planted in Su Yunqi's heart.
And, Jia Hao took another step to capturing the ladies of Su Family Manor.

Li Tao's face twitched violently, but he maintained the smile on his face.
" Haha, It's good that Mr. Li joined us here. How about this painting, Mr. Li? I wonder if you can say something about it." Lin Cheng smiled as he looked at Li Tao.
" Ah, This painting looks like painting of Mr. Marcello, How rare." Li Tao smiled. " I guess Mr. Lin has eyes for art."
" But, I think I have some work…" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
" Why be hasty, Mr Li?" Lin Cheng's smile became wide. " Accompany me, A lot of people here would like to discuss art with you."
" Yo-You…"
Li Tao clenched his fist, but he was helpless. He can't just storm away and get back to Su Yunqi.
' Hmph, Even she drank the soda, she would be lying unconscious there. My men are already around that room…So, I don't need to fear, right?'
However, soon…He regretted it.
Li Tao suddenly got a phone call and he picked it up.
" What? Su Yunqi walked out of the room with her nephew?" Li Tao's expression changed. " Hurry up and check inside the room!"
And then, he got the bad news.
" Boss, The the Lemon Soda glass is shattered on the ground. It looks like someone threw it out of rage."
" And, judging from the expression of Su Yunqi, I don't think she was happy."
Li Tao's face turned pale when he heard that. " Fuck! Fuck this shit!"
' That dumb bitch…Did she realized? But how?'
' Fuck! Fuck this Lin Cheng! He ruined all my good plan!'

" Hao'er…We can leave now…If you wish…" Su Yunqi spoke in a low voice, not looking at Jia Hao at all.
" I… I am fine, Aunt Su." Jia Hao turned around as if he was feeling guilty and ashamed. Seeing him like that, Su Yunqi felt even more awkward.
' He…He even said I love you, Aunt Su while kissing me. Was it because of drugs? Or…'
' No! How is that possible?'
" Aunt Su, This party is filled with a lot of opportunities. Since you and Li Tao are already enemies, you should find yourself some strong allies."
" That bastard…Don't worry about him, Aunt Su. I will make sure he will never harass you again."
Hearing Jia Hao's determined words, Su Yunqi felt a gush of warmth in his heart. " Alright, Hao'er, I will do as you say." Su Yunqi spoke with a light smile. However, Jia Hao only nodded and walked away.
" Enjoy the party more, Aunt Su…You should be relaxing at this party. Make some connection and…Forget what happened earlier."
" You too, Hao'er."
Sun Yunqi saw Jia Hao walking away with a heavy heart.
Thinking about Li Tao once again, flames of anger burned in her eyes.
" Li Tao, You have crossed the line this time. I will not forgive you."
" Let's see who is going to win this time."

" Well, I should thank you, Lin Mei. You did a good job." Jia Hao smiled as he looked at her.
" Hmph, At least you admitted it." Lin Mei turned around and spoke in a light voice. But her lips curled upward.
But when she turned around, she saw Jia Hao already vanished.
" This bastard! Where did he go?" Lin Mei felt frustrated as she looked around.
" Hoho, I didn't know young people these days also knew about antiques." The old man smiled amicably as he turned around, looking at Jia Hao.
After all, she thought Jia Hao would give her a few more rounds of praise.
However, Jia Hao walked toward an old man who was wearing a traditional robe and looking at small pottery showcased inside a glass cube.
" The Seven Grass Vase of early Qing Dynasty. The distinct feature of seven grasses on the body of the vase." Jia Hao spoke as he stood right beside that man.
" Hoho, I didn't know young people these days also knew about antiques." The old man smiled amicably as he turned around, looking at Jia Hao.
" Well then, What else do you know about this pot?"
" Well, This is a perfect replica. How unfortunate that it's fake." Jia Hao sighed.
" Oh? You are telling me it's fake?" The old man was surprised. " How did you know?"
" Because of the seven leaf design on the handle. Many people think there should be seven blades of grass on the handle like the body of the grass."
" However, The real one had only four blades to dictate four directions, not seven." Jia Hao smiled.
" Hahaha! Good! Very good." The old man laughed. " Young Man, What is your name?"
" This humble one is Jia Hao." Jia Hao smiled. " Do you know me?"
" How can I not know Mr.Chen Mo, The chairman of Tianguang Hall? In the Eastern Sea City's antique market, you are a prominent figure." Jia Hao spoke with eloquence.
" Not bad, You are such a sharp minded child." Chen Mo smiled. " Well, Judging from your attitude, you aren't here to appreciate antiques with this old man."
" Elder Chen is wise. I do come here for some selfish reason." Jia Hao laughed lightly. " I have something that only a person with a lot of experience can appraise."
" And I wonder if Elder Chen can do this for me?"
" Hoho, I wonder what is it, little friend?"
Chen Mo became curious when he heard Jia Hao. He wondered what sort of treasure Jia Hao wanted to get appraised.
' Hmm, I have seen so many treasures in my life. I wonder if I am going to see something new?'
' Haha, I doubt it. Let's see what this little guy got for me.' However, when Jia Hao took out the thing and passed it to Chen Mo, Chen Mo's expression changed drastically.
