Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

"Wait a second, I'll have the boss bring it out right away," Yang Jingsheng said.

"Okay, let the boss bring it out," Xu Yang felt it was no big deal to take a look; after all, it wouldn't waste much time.

The two sat down on the chairs in the store to rest.

Yang Jingsheng spoke to the middle-aged man behind the counter, "Boss, let's go get that treasure from the back hall."

While speaking, he made faces at the man.

The middle-aged boss didn't understand what Yang Jingsheng was up to; there was no treasure in the back hall.

However, based on Yang Jingsheng's facial expressions, he figured out what Yang Jingsheng meant—to go to the back hall together, where Yang Jingsheng would explain everything.

"Okay."

The middle-aged boss nodded and followed Yang Jingsheng into the back hall.

"What exactly are you up to?" the middle-aged boss asked.

"Boss, isn't there a small lion statue in the corner of our back hall? You said you've had it for a long time, that it's from the Republic era. Sell it to that guy," Yang Jingsheng said.

"Who exactly is that person?" the middle-aged boss asked.

"He's the boss of Riverbed Salvage, Xu Yang," Yang Jingsheng said.

"What, it's him?!" the middle-aged boss exclaimed in shock.

"That guy once came to Antique Street and hit the jackpot by finding a huge loophole. This time he's here with his wife, probably to make her happy. Sell this thing to him and make a good profit," Yang Jingsheng said.

"Does he really not know antiques?" the middle-aged boss asked.

If he understood antiques, this item definitely couldn't be sold.

"He doesn't know shit. Don't let his current status fool you; I know what he was like before better than anyone," Yang Jingsheng said with a sneer, his face full of disdain.

"Oh, it looks like your relationship with him is quite complex. Tell me, what's your relationship? How come you know him so well?" the middle-aged boss asked curiously.

"In the past, my half-sister was his girlfriend. They broke up later, and after that, the guy made it big," Yang Jingsheng said with considerable irritation.

If Zhao Yulu hadn't broken up with Xu Yang, he would now be Xu Yang's brother-in-law.

In Xu Yang's company, landing a high-level management position wouldn't have been a problem.

There would definitely have been many company beauties willing to climb into his bed.

What a pity, Zhao Yulu broke up with Xu Yang, and all that became nothing but wishful thinking.

Not only that, but because of Xu Yang, his life became increasingly difficult; he had to come to Antique Street to work.

"So you have that kind of relationship. Even so, with your relationship with him, asking him for a job shouldn't be a problem. Why would you come work here?" the middle-aged boss asked, puzzled.

"It's a long story. That guy came from a small county town, started with nothing. When my sister introduced him to me, I looked down on him. But who would have thought, after they split up, he somehow struck it rich and soared high. Now he's a billionaire, so naturally, he won't give me the time of day," Yang Jingsheng explained truthfully.

"I see," the middle-aged boss realized, silently cursing the guy for getting what he deserved.

You look down on someone, and when they become successful, why would they bother with you?

"Boss, let's not talk about me anymore. Take out that statue and sell it to him," Yang Jingsheng said.

"How are you so sure he will buy it?" the middle-aged boss asked.

"I'm not certain, but there's no harm in trying. After all, that thing's been sitting here for so long. If he doesn't buy it, there's no loss," Yang Jingsheng said.

"You have a point. Take the statue out, and be careful with it," the middle-aged boss said. "I bought it for a thousand bucks, and if you break it, I'll deduct a thousand from your salary."

"Alright," Yang Jingsheng suddenly felt a bit stifled.

But no matter how stifled he felt, he still had to take it.

After all, he was the employee and the other was the boss.

So, Yang Jingsheng went and took out the statue.

"Xu Yang, come over here and take a look. This statue is a treasured item of the shop owner's. It's not something shown to just anyone."

Yang Jingsheng placed the statue on the table.

"This statue..." Xu Yang glanced at it, and his eyes subtly lit up.

However, he kept his composure.

"Boss Xu, what do you think? This little lion statue cost me a pretty penny to acquire," the middle-aged boss also came over to persuade. "As Xiao Yang mentioned, it's not something I'd ordinarily show off. I wasn't lying about that. If it weren't for someone of your stature coming along, you wouldn't even get the chance to see it."

"Boss, which dynasty is this statue from?" Xu Yang asked.

"This is a statue from the Tang Dynasty, from the era of Empress Wu Zetian, moreover, it was made on her personal orders," the middle-aged boss seriously bluffed.

"Boss, that kind of talk might fool others, but this is just a statue from the Republic era. Don't think I don't know that," Xu Yang said with a sneer.

"How could that be? I had it appraised; it's definitely from the Tang Dynasty!" The middle-aged boss was surprised to be caught out but pretended to be a victim of deception.

One had to admit, the guy was an excellent actor.

Even Yang Jingsheng, who was standing off to the side, was secretly impressed.

Yet, he was also amazed by Xu Yang's level of appraisal.

The fact that Xu Yang could tell the statue was from the Republic era showed he truly had skill.

It seemed that Xu Yang's ability to find bargains wasn't just due to luck; he had the expertise to back it up.

"If you're so convinced it's from the Tang Dynasty, then sell it to that appraiser," Xu Yang chuckled.

"Boss Xu, is it really from the Republic era?" the middle-aged boss inquired.

"Absolutely. If I'm wrong, you can come find me, and I'll pay you ten million," Xu Yang declared confidently.

"I trust Boss Xu's judgment," the middle-aged owner said.

"Thank you," Xu Yang replied.

"That damned appraiser, next time I see him, I'll make sure he regrets it, making me lose five million," the middle-aged boss gritted his teeth in frustration, then turned to Xu Yang and said, "Boss Xu, what do you think of this statue? Even if it's from the Republic era, it's still pretty good, isn't it? Would you be willing to buy it? If you are interested, I can sell it to you for a low price."

"This statue is indeed quite nice. Buying it to use as a desk ornament wouldn't be bad at all, depending on the price you're offering," Xu Yang replied.

"Boss Xu, I bought it for five million. Since it's from the Republic era, it's obviously not worth as much. How about five hundred thousand?" the middle-aged boss proposed.

"You're selling a Republic era statue for five hundred thousand?" Xu Yang gave the middle-aged boss an askance look.

"Boss Xu, as a Republic-era piece, it certainly isn't worth as much historically, but the craftsmanship of this statue is excellent," he said.

"Just look at how lifelike it is. Nowadays, very few people can make a statue like this."

"Even if someone were to make one, it would likely cost two to three hundred thousand, so this statue is definitely worth five hundred thousand. The price I'm offering is absolutely fair," the middle-aged boss said with a silver tongue.
