"This is my thing. I can give it to whomever I want. What does it have to do with whether it is worthy or not?" Gu Yanran looked at Gu Nianzhi amusedly, feeling unparalleled joy in her heart.
Just the look of envy and longing in Gu Nianzhi's eyes made Gu Yanran feel that this gift was worth it...
People in the hall watched this scene and whispered among themselves quietly.
"This pink diamond crown looks quite expensive..."
"Yeah, it's probably something with a provenance. I also have some pink diamond jewelry, but the color is completely incomparable to this one."
Everyone is a discerning person. Gu Yanran gave such a big gift. No wonder Prime Minister Tan and his family are friends with her.
Gu Nianzhi laughed twice, tilted his head and looked at the pink diamond crown on Tan Guiren's head, and said, "Really? It was really given to you by your father? But I think this pink diamond crown looks like a high imitation. Father would give it to you." Imitation jewelry for you?”
High imitation
When the people in the hall heard this, their expressions suddenly changed again.
Some believed it almost immediately.
After all, the Tan family has a history of wearing high imitation jewelry...
In the case that Tan Guiren's mother Cai Songyin was involved in, one of the items involved high imitation of patented jewelry.
Although Gu Yanran later took action and bought the counterfeiting rights, a copycat is a copycat, and in their circle, using copycat goods is very bad behavior.
Although the people in the hall didn't speak loudly, no one deliberately lowered their voices, so it was inevitable that some people's gossip would reach Gu Yanran's ears.
She was furious for a moment, her face darkened, and she said to Gu Nianzhi: "Sister, you just told me to say less without evidence. Why is it now your turn to talk nonsense?"
"Sister, by saying this, are you admitting that you just slandered me?" Gu Nianzhi smiled, his rhombus lips curved into a beautiful arc, the pearls on his lips were shining brightly, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in the melting moonlight. "Besides, I'm not talking nonsense. How can sister prove that your pink diamond crown is genuine and not a high imitation?"
Gu Yanran sneered and curled her lips, "Why should I prove it to you? Also, a high imitation, do you know what this is? It's a high imitation, you really don't know what it means!"
"Of course I know what this is." Gu Nianzhi walked around Guiren Tan, and his voice suddenly became clear and high, which could be heard clearly in the whole hall, "The style of this pink diamond crown is similar to that of Catherine from Russia. Tsarina Nina’s pink diamond tiara is exactly the same.”
"The crown of the Russian Tsarina?! That's a crown!"
People in the hall became excited, and some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of the pink diamond crown on Guiren Tan's head.
"Huh? I didn't expect to know the goods." Gu Yanran raised her eyebrows, "To tell you the truth, this is a gift that my father went to the Christie's auction house to buy for my birthday. I also have the receipt from the Christie's auction house at home. What? High imitation? Our Gu family still uses high imitation?"
"Haha, what's wrong with the receipt? Can't the receipt be forged?" Gu Nianzhi raised his hand, twirled his fingers, and said nonchalantly: "I have seen cases of one-stop forgery. Not to mention the receipt, even the United States Receipts from the top department store Neiman-Marcus can be produced for you!”
"After all, you are just angry that I gave this crown to my daughter." Gu Yanran looked at the eager look on Gu Nianzhi's face and smiled as if she was winning. She followed Gu Nianzhi's example and extended her hand. A finger shook, "Sister, I know you like this crown, but I don't think you deserve it, so I gave it to someone who deserves it."
"Really? Don't you think you're not worthy enough, so you don't dare to wear it, so you have to give it to others as a favor?" Gu Nianzhi was unmoved. She put her hands behind her back and looked at Tan Guiren: "Actually, I want to confirm whether it is true or not. A very simple way to check the serial number of something sold by Christie's auction house is to check the serial number. If this pink diamond tiara is really an authentic item sold by Christie's auction house, it must have a serial number on it."
Gu Yanran hesitated after hearing this.
She never found the serial number on the pink diamond tiara...
Is this crown really a fake
impossible
Why would my father buy fake goods? !
Seeing that Gu Yanran was silent, Gu Nianzhi stretched out his hand to Guiren Tan, "Miss Tan, can you lend me your pink diamond crown to take a look at? Make sure it's genuine. There are so many people here looking at you. Don’t worry, there won’t be any damage.”
Tan Guiren liked this pink diamond crown very much, and she didn't believe that someone as wealthy as the Gu family would buy a high imitation, so she took it off her head generously, handed it to Gu Nianzhi, and said, "Then you Take a look, I think it’s real. The purity and color of this center diamond are too good to be a high-end imitation.”
When Gu Nianzhi took the pink diamond crown from Guiren Tan's hand, he felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.
She held her breath and carefully held the pink diamond tiara in her hands.
At this moment, she seemed to be able to feel the earnest smiles of her father and mother, as well as their loving hearts, which penetrated the clouds of time and fell on her hands, warm and comforting.
The bustling crowds and noisy voices in the hall faded away, leaving only this pink diamond crown in the sky, which magnified infinitely before her eyes.
This is a gift from my father...
Gu Nianzhi's onion-like fingers rested on the pink diamond crown, which was so white that it was almost transparent.
"Are you stupid?" Gu Yanran twitched her lips, "Such a good thing is said to be a high imitation. Have you never seen a real good thing?"
Gu Nianzhi came back to his senses, glanced at Gu Yanran quickly, and then without thinking, he picked up the pink diamond crown and looked at the inside of it.
The crown on the inside is crystal clear, almost transparent, and there is no inscription at all!
I can't even see the serial number!
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank.
Is this pink diamond tiara really a high imitation? !
She clearly remembered the background record on Christie's website, which said that the buyer asked the diamond engraver to engrave it!
If she can't find that line of inscription, she won't be able to take back the pink diamond crown!
At this moment, Gu Nianzhi was thinking intensely in his mind, looking for a way to crack it.
"The serial number of the Christie's auction is not on the items being auctioned at all, but on the receipt."
Gu Yanran has taken inventory of this thing countless times over the years, so she naturally knows where the serial number is.
"Here, this is it." She also took out her mobile phone and showed the receipt note she had saved.
When she gave Tan Guiren a gift, she also printed a copy of the receipt and put it together as evidence.
Because Cai Songyin has paid great attention to the source of gifts since she received "high imitation jewelry" as a gift.
Gu Yanran gave this gift. Prime Minister Tan specifically checked the evidence of purchase and was sure that there would be no legal problems before letting Tan Guiren accept it.
I didn't expect it could be used as evidence.
Gu Yanran's depressed mood finally improved.
Gu Nianzhi only glanced at Gu Yanran's mobile phone and memorized the 18-digit serial number. It was indeed the same as what she saw in the backend records of Christie's auction website.
That means that this pink diamond tiara is the treasure that Gu Xiangwen bought at Christie's auction house 18 years ago.
But why can’t I see the serial number and inscription
Gu Nianzhi was anxious, and suddenly her heart moved, and she remembered some methods of identifying invisible handwriting that Huo Shaoheng had taught her in his spare time.
Most of those methods are used in espionage and intelligence work, but he also mentioned that when the unique treasures are auctioned in the auction house, they will be engraved with unique serial numbers. In order not to damage the appearance of these treasures, the auction houses An invisible carving process will be used.
This technique is used to make marks on auctioned treasures, which are generally invisible to the naked eye. They can only be revealed by using specific lights and illuminating them at specific angles.
Gu Nianzhi had an idea. She turned to look at Guiren Tan and said, "Miss Tan, can you borrow the projector?"
"Projector? Huh? I don't know if there is one here..." Tan Gui said in embarrassment and looked at Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran has been like the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Office for the past half month. Gu Yanran knows everything that Guiren Tan doesn't know.
But before Gu Yanran could say anything, Gu Nianzhi had already called the female staff member pushing the cake cart and asked, "Can I borrow the projector?"
There is a projector in the Prime Minister's Office. When Gu Nianshang came here last time, he saw Prime Minister Dou and his family showing a short video of Dou Qingyan studying abroad.
The female staff member looked at Tan Guiren.
Tan Guiren sighed and said calmly: "If there is any, give it to Miss Gu."
The female staff member nodded, took out the walkie-talkie, and called the staff waiting in the side hall to bring the projector and install it.
In a short while, the projector was installed.
A large, bright white screen hangs from one wall of the hall and is pointed at the projector.
Gu Nianzhi adjusted the projector, turned on the lights, then placed the pink crown in front of the projector and slowly adjusted the angle.
On the bright white screen, a dazzling pink diamond crown appeared, constantly rotating.
Gu Yanran frowned and said displeasedly: "Sister, what are you doing? Be careful of damaging this crown. I have already given it away. If you damage it, you will have to pay for it."
Gu Nianzhi ignored her and concentrated on adjusting the angle of the crown under the projector light.
Then when she moved to a certain position, suddenly, some vague writing appeared on the inner wall of the pink diamond crown on the screen!
Then the handwriting changed from blurry to clear, one number after another gradually revealed, and then the curly letters began to appear!
There were sudden gasps of air in the hall.
Even Gu Yanran was dumbfounded.
On the bright white screen, a set of 18-digit numbers appeared on the inner wall of the pink diamond crown that had been magnified countless times, which was the serial number of the pink diamond crown.
Then, immediately after the number appeared, there was a series of smooth cursive English: "To-Cereus, my-little-darling".
The records he saw on the website finally became real objects before his eyes. Gu Nianzhi's eyes were red, and his crisp voice had a hint of sharpness: "Sister, everyone knows that my English name is Cereus and your English name is Jasmine. . This is recorded in the passport and other identity documents. - So why do you say that this pink diamond crown was given to you by your father?!"
