C14 True Coral
Lee Heng said in a clear voice, "Old Lady Wang, my birthday present has yet to come!"
When Lee Heng said this, the entire Wang family was filled with sneers.
Having been chased out of the Wang family since young, Old Lady Wang had directly severed all of their finances, causing them to be so poor that they could clearly hear the trembling of their pockets and a few pieces of coins.
Lee Heng took out a box he bought at a roadside stall with a stern expression.
Looking at the package and size, compared to the big gift given by the Wang family clansmen in front of him, it was just too shabby!
Someone at the back sneered, "Lee Heng, what's on your hand is not a birthday present for Old Lady Wang, right?"
Such a large item was actually packed in a cheap cardboard box. One didn't even need to think to know that it was likely cheap goods.
Lee Heng revealed a bright smile and openly admitted: "Yes."
Wang Meixin and Lee Zhiqiu were a little worried. Wang Meixin approached Lee Heng and asked in a low voice, "Son, what are you doing? What treasure can you get from that skill of yours?"
Wang Meixin was well aware of her son's capabilities.
Lee Heng gave her a comforting look and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry."
Today was Old Lady Wang's birthday, so Lee Heng had carefully chosen a gift. Putting aside its value, what he showed today was only the tip of the iceberg!
Wang Loong was looking forward to Lee Heng's birthday present. He did not say anything as he pursed his lips and looked at Lee Heng.
"Are you here to tease the old lady? You prepared a birthday present, so why are you so careless? " Wang Jin couldn't help but say, "Look at what we gave them, the top quality coral, the wax ore …" Each of them is worth at least three million. "
There were all sorts of expensive gifts on the tea table beside him. Anyone with a little bit of eyesight could tell that they were worth quite a lot.
"Hur hur, that's great." Lee Heng didn't reply, he would say at least a few words about unimportant people.
Lee Heng followed Wang Jin's gaze and quietly used his mental energy to open the perspective eye.
He scanned the birthday present with his Penetrating Eyes. After three days of training with the spiritual force breathing method, his abilities had improved further.
Initially, he needed to focus his attention and observe for a moment. Now, he only needed a glance to be able to see a thing or two.
When he scanned the blood-red coral, he didn't feel a trace of Qi. It was very young, probably around the age of a year.
"Imitation red coral stone, after dyeing, there are more wormholes. After polishing, it can become fake and real. According to the modern market value, it's worth 20 thousand."
Lee Heng was stunned and found it funny.
It was clear that Wang Jin wanted to show off his superiority in front of Lee Heng with a gift from someone from Wang family. He continued, "So what if you got Zhang Wanqian's calligraphy and painting, these are all even more priceless than your calligraphy and painting. "This palm-sized top grade red coral stone is worth five million …"
It was made from a pile of corallines, and it only grew by an inch in twenty years, and grew by a kilogram in three hundred years. The blood-red coral made it seem like the color of blood was the highest, and the deeper the color of the blood, the rarer it was, and its value was greater than any kind of gem in the world.
This gift was truly generous!
Wang Jin saw Lee Heng staring at the top quality blood coral without saying a word, and became even more proud: "What? Scared by this mere blood coral?
He just took out a top quality blood coral, this brat was already scared out of his wits!
Lee Heng looked at Wang Jin's complacent expression, and then swept his eyes around the Wang family people who were watching the show. He sneered: "Are you sure this is a top quality blood coral?"
"I didn't know that the appraising techniques that Wang family was so proud of were able to refine such a colourful coral stone, and all of you can treat it as a rare top-grade blood coral.
Pointing at the blood coral, the entire Wang family Residence was silent!
If someone gave them a fake guy, if Old Lady Wang wasn't happy about making a note of it, it would be even harder for them to compete for Patriarch Wang in the future!
Old Lady Wang was slightly displeased. "So you're saying that I'm too old and my eyes aren't working? Can't tell if I'm real or not?"
Lee Heng looked at Old Lady Wang with a wry smile.
In the end, Old Lady Wang was protective and cruel. If she wasn't so heartless, dozens of years ago, when all the storms in the city were over, it would be impossible for her Wang family to still be safe and sound today.
Wang Loong saw Old Lady Wang's attitude and shook his head helplessly, "Mother, what Lee Heng said is possible. We will carefully examine the results and we will know if what Lee Heng said is true or not. "
Old Lady Wang glanced at him and agreed with Wang Loong's words.
She wanted to see how capable her disobedient daughter was when giving birth to a child!
Wang Loong gestured for the blood coral to be brought in front of Old Lady Wang.
That coral was extremely bright and full of life. On its dark red surface, there were a few holes that could be seen. She touched them and her expression slightly changed.
"Break it open for me." Old Lady Wang was a cruel person as well, smashing open millions of items just like that.
The people from Wang family were still blocking her: "Old Lady Wang, don't listen to Lee Heng's lies. He might not be able to appraise it and lie to you!"
That was a rare blood coral. If it was broken, it would be equivalent to smashing away several tens of thousands!
Old Lady Wang looked over with a pair of sharp eyes. "You want to interfere in my affairs?"
Seeing that Old Lady Wang had made up her mind, the people from Wang family could not stop her and could only wait to make a joke out of Lee Heng.
A person who had been chased out from a young age and hadn't learned any treasured appraising techniques, what could he identify?
A burst of "pa da" sounds were heard. Old Lady Wang and Wang Loong looked at it for a second and then looked away.
Nowadays, most blood corals would have white hearts, and fake corals could imitate white hearts. However, the white hearts of natural red corals were clearly defined by most colors, while the white hearts of dyed corals, white and red, weren't as distinct as natural corals. There was a transition from light to dark.
Old Lady Wang was disappointed. She stomped her cane in anger a few times. "I've only been out of control for a few years, but you guys can't even differentiate between real and fake blood coral!"
Although she was old, her eyesight wasn't so bad that she couldn't judge treasure.
Wang Loong was angered to the point that he even laughed, "A bunch of fellows without good eyesight. If Lee Heng didn't identify the fake, who knows how many people would laugh if word of this fake was spread!"
"Bullying Lee Heng alone requires a limit to how much a group of people can bully the weak and fear the strong! In my opinion, Lee Heng has even more of the bearing of someone with Wang family compared to you! "
The people from the Wang family were frightened into silence by Old Lady Wang and Wang Loong's anger.
Wang Jin was so scared that he kneeled on the ground: "This … I don't know! "
How could he have thought that the top quality blood coral he introduced with glee was fake!
