Feng Yi thought to himself: Such an obvious piece of jade, a successful businessman like Bai Youwei couldn't possibly fail to distinguish the material.
Indeed, he then heard Bai Youwei say:
"I know."
Bai Youwei untied the bracelet on the table and laid it out in a straight line.
"This is just a replica. I've prepared the jade and had someone carve it exactly like the original bracelet. I can't carry the real snakebone bracelet with me everywhere, and even if I could, I wouldn't want to. I don't wear or play with items stained with blood."
Although he was a magnate in the food industry, Bai Youwei had his own principles. Slaughtering food was one thing, but wearing and handling was another. He didn't fancy wearing something made from animal bones.
Feng Yi was puzzled. If Bai Youwei knew, then what was the purpose of coming for an appraisal?
"So what do you mean?" Feng Yi asked.
