Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 561

Chapter 561 - A Beautiful Counterfeit

She was an actress after all. Moreover, she had studied Old Master Lu’s preferences out of, of course, not sincerity but flattery. She had spent a lot of time on it, but she had not known much about it. Whatever she knew had been given to Lu Jin. As for Lu Yuanyang, too bad, she never thought of him. She never did like Old Master Lu in both of her lives. She fawned on him in her previous life, but this time she did not need to flatter anyone.

“Dad loves the ‘smoky’ tea set you gifted him, but it’s too flashy. Take note of this.” Lu Yi spoke all of a sudden, his thin lips curved with seriousness and elegance. He was squinting his eyes, his serious look was very attractive. Although he might not be the type of young man who was like fresh meat, he was like a medium-cooked beef that had its own taste. To Yan Huan, he was the best of the good-looking men.

Of course, this man was not anyone else’s but her husband.

In response to what Lu Yi had mentioned:

“Do you want me to send counterfeits next time?” Yan Huan asked doubtfully, “Are you sure about this?”

“A tree that stands out from the forest,” Lu Yi’s lips pursed before opening his mouth to utter these words.

Yan Huan understood what he meant.

The continuation of that quote was ‘will be destroyed by the wind’. She had been thinking about how she could give the few authentic antiques to Lu Jin. It was strange for her to give them one by one; in this world, any abnormalities marked omens. It was nothing to Lu Yi and her since he knew she had reborn.

However, to others, it was too abnormal. If those who were interested got to know the reason behind this abnormality, it would cause trouble for them.

“I have an idea.” Yan Huan rubbed her forehead, perspiring cold sweat for being shocked. If it were not for Lu Yi’s reminder, she might just forget about it. She really should purchase several counterfeits and mix them with the authentic ones. This way, it would seem more logical.

The frightened Yan Huan amused Lu Yi.

What, hadn’t I been cheated enough? How can I not know a simple principle like this? No wonder I could get set up by Lu Jin in my previous life.

Yan Huan was really afraid this time as she went to buy some counterfeits the next day. Only then she sent one of them to Lu Jin, leaving a note saying that it was specially recommended.

Then, Yan Huan entrusted someone to send it to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin took a leave on purpose, thinking whether it was another dynasty’s treasure. According to Yan Huan, it was absolutely delicate, so it should be very valuable.

He was looking forward to this treasure. Although he already had tons of them, he still wanted more.

How could humans be easily satisfied?

There was a saying, “Those who are content are always joyful”.

However, it was easier said than done. Many knew about this, but little could do so.

Lu Jin could not wait, opening the box gingerly.

When the so-called treasure was presented before him, his bubbling excitement was drenched with cold water and cooled down immediately.

This thing was indeed delicate with fine patterns. Although it was the most delicate one with the best color and appearance among his collection, Lu Jin only shook his head.

Ye Shuyun was talking to Madam Lei on the phone. Madam Lei was talking about her grandson, Little Lei, regarding how tall had he grown, how loud was his cries, and how much noise he had made.

Ye Shuyun was envious of her. When could she get a grandson? Her son did not want to bear a child yet, so she had no choice but to let it be. Actually it did not matter, because she still had Little Lei.

Little Lei was Madam Lei’s grandson, so he was naturally her grandson too.

Lu Jin came in with a vase, putting it on the table. “This is for you.”

“For me?” Ye Shuyun took the vase. It was beautiful, but what use was it for her?

“You know I love to play with these vases and tins, and this…” She knocked on the vase that was in her hands, “I’ll only use it for flowers, won’t you feel sorry for it?”

Lu Jin also knocked it. A ding sound was heard, and it was rather crisp.

“It’s a counterfeit, you can have it.”

“What use is an authentic one for if the counterfeit is already so beautiful?” Ye Shuyun could not distinguish between an authentic antique and a counterfeit. Nevertheless, this one looked better.

“Among all the shabby and broken vases that Huan Huan has gifted you, this is the most beautiful one. I think this time her taste is right on point.”

She did not care if it was a counterfeit. To her, as long as it was beautiful, it was good. Those outdated colors and old patterns, and the entire room of calligraphy paintings were of no use at all, not even better than this vase.

What is a flower vase for? It is named as a flower vase for a good reason: to put flowers in it. Otherwise, was it for decoration or drinking purposes?

Yan Huan was often busy, but the Lu’s would always receive gifts from her. Every time when Ye Shuyun received them, she was glad; every time there were new things, she would bring them to Madam Lei’s and give her some of them. Of course, lots were bought for Little Lei. However, Lu Jin seemed to be low-spirited recently.

That spendthrift sister-in-law of his had again bought a few more counterfeits.

In Lu Jin’s heart, Yan Huan was now a spendthrift. Before that she had been a great housekeeper, as those antiques were worth a fortune if they were sold, not to mention that there were so many of them.

He even wanted to tell Yan Huan to stop buying. Ye Shuyun had used the vases at home to raise fish, put flowers, and some were even used as a flowerpot. She said those would look nice with planted flowers, and they were also sturdy.

Lu Jin almost wanted to mourn for those vases. Anyhow, they were counterfeits bought at a price of tens of thousands and were now used to put flowers and load soil. They were more miserable than shepherds and fish farmers.

There were a few times he really hoped Yan Huan would stop buying. Although they were rich, fortunes should not be spent like this. However, he could not give up the authentic antiques that occasionally appeared among the many counterfeits.

He said nothing for the sake of those authentic antiques.

Lu Jin was worried about those counterfeits. While ‘When the Song Ends’ was about to come to an end, Su Muran had become a rising star among the four idols. Although her reputation was not good, she was not taken lightly. She had filmed numerous heavily invested dramas and movies. No matter what, this time, although her acting skills improved, her fanbase did not grow much because of Yan Huan who was on top of her.
