The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 50

Charlie was filled with joy and immediately prepared to grasp the “Apocalyptic Book” tightly in his arms.

To his surprise, the book instantly turned to dust and vanished.

Nonetheless, every word from the book was vividly etched in Charlie’s mind.

At that moment, his fleeing father-in-law was forcibly returned by several strong men.

Seeing that his face was red and swollen, it was evident that he had been caught and beaten!

Charlie looked at his father-in-law’s humiliating state and couldn’t help but feel amused inside.

This old man, who created chaos and wanted to place the blame on him, was truly unreasonable! Letting him learn his lesson was a fitting punishment.

Jacob, Charlie’s father-in-law, was particularly humiliated at that moment. Having just run for his life, he was exhausted.

Without his car keys, he struggled to run quickly, his age and weight making it impossible for him to compete with the younger men.

Not long after, he was captured and restrained, receiving several slaps along the way. It was truly pitiful.

As a group brought Jacob back Raymond Cole, the manager, gritted his teeth and said, “Old man, do you think you can escape after breaking our Vase? Maybe you should inquire about the background of our Vintage Deluxe!”

Jacob stammered in panic, “I didn’t mean to, the Vase was just too slippery…”

Raymond retorted coldly, “Don’t waste my time! You have until this afternoon to raise the money. If you can’t pay, I’ll report you to the police for intentional damage to property. A value of over 5 million is enough to put you behind bars for life!”

Trembling in fear, Jacob turned to Charlie, as if he saw a lifeline, “Charlie, my good son-in-law! You can’t just watch me go down like this!”

Charlie sighed helplessly, “Dad, I don’t have that kind of money!”

Jacob quickly shot back, “Then you should go to jail in my place! My Wilson family has raised you for so long, it’s time for you to repay the favor!”

Charlie thought, how could you possibly say that?

Just as he was about to refuse, the middle-aged man interjected, “Every action has its consequences and we at Vintage Deluxe pride ourselves on our integrity. You broke the Vase, so you must pay for it!”

Then he addressed Charlie, “You can leave, but I suggest you help him raise enough money. Otherwise, this afternoon, I’ll send him to the police station!”

Charlie simply nodded.

Meanwhile, Jacob, now panicking, pleaded, “My dear son-in-law, you can’t just leave! What will I do without you here?”

Seeing his father-in-law’s desperation, Charlie couldn’t help but chuckle internally.

However, he maintained a serious demeanor. He was just considering how to find a reason to raise some funds and then leave Jacob to face the situation a bit longer.

Suddenly, he recalled a method for repairing porcelain artifacts mentioned in the “Apocalyptic Book,” prompting him to suggest, “Manager Cole, if I can repair that jade pot spring bottle, will you let my father-in-law go?”

Raymond sneered, “Who do you think you are? You plan to fix antiques? I’ve already sent photos to Aurous Hill’s relic appraisal experts. They said it’s irreparable in this condition.”

Charlie shook his head, “Your bottle is already broken anyway, so what’s the harm in trying? You won’t lose anything.”

Raymond snorted derisively, “You won’t give up until it’s too late, huh? Fine! Let’s see what you can do!”

Charlie replied, “I need some rice paper, a brush and five raw eggs.”

Raymond, anticipating a spectacle, quickly fetched a basket of raw eggs for Charlie, unable to hide his mocking tone, “Repairing antiques with eggs? I’ve never heard of such a thing. I warn you, don’t try anything funny. Either you pay up, or we take your father-in-law to court. Five million is enough to keep him in prison for life.”

Charlie nodded, “What if I actually repair it?”

Raymond scoffed, “If it’s truly restored to a standard that professionals agree upon and the majority of losses can be recovered, then you can leave!”

“Deal!” Charlie affirmed, then immediately began working. He grabbed the brush and sketched the outline of the jade pot spring bottle on the rice paper.

Next, he cracked an egg, dipped his finger in the egg white and applied it to a piece of the broken bottle before pressing it onto the paper model. He then selected another fragment, layering it in place until the model was gradually covered with antique pieces…

Everyone fell silent, afraid to disrupt his restoration process.

Half an hour later, when Charlie stood up again, a Tang Dynasty jade huchun bottle that appeared as if it had just been created was displayed before everyone.

He smiled at Raymond, “Take a look and see if you can find any flaws.”

Raymond picked up the bottle, examined it closely and then said scornfully, “Is this a joke? You think you can fix it with egg liquid? Why don’t I just break your legs and see how that works with egg liquid?”

“Don’t touch the bottle!”

Suddenly, a crisp and urgent voice rang out from the doorway.

A strikingly beautiful woman in a white casual suit strode in, exuding an air of elegance. She stood nearly 5.7″ and radiated luxury, her eyes scanning the room, filled with an icy arrogance that resembled a queen’s demeanor.

Upon recognizing her, Raymond’s expression changed drastically, and he bowed his head, saying respectfully, “Miss, what brings you here?”

The newcomer was Jasmine Moore, the actual owner of Vintage Deluxe and the eldest daughter of the prestigious Moore family from Aurous Hill.

Jasmine huffed coldly and replied, “I fear that if I didn’t come, you’d let this store go to ruin! What is happening here?”

Raymond awkwardly smiled and quickly explained, “A customer accidentally broke a bottle while viewing it and his son-in-law is trying to repair it with an egg. I was just about to inform them that this repair is worthless and discuss compensation.”

Jasmine approached the jade huchun bottle, observing it closely before her expression suddenly shifted! She immediately turned around and scolded Raymond furiously, “Put it down! Who allowed you to touch it without understanding what it is!”

Raymond blinked in confusion, “Miss, what are you doing?”

Jasmine insisted, “This is a newly restored artifact. Only the experts who repaired it are permitted to handle it for now. Do you not understand this rule?”

Raymond hesitated, “But… this is just a paste with egg liquid. It can’t truly count as a restoration, can it?”

Jasmine’s beautiful eyes flashed with anger as she rebuked, “You fool! The value of this bottle will at least double once it’s properly restored. Just because you touched it, you may have cost us at least two million! Pack up your things, don’t bother coming tomorrow!”

She recalled a porcelain plate from the same era as the jade huchun bottle that had been auctioned in Gangcheng.

This porcelain plate held a fascinating history: broken in the Song Dynasty, it had been repaired by skilled craftsmen using the same rare method, which had long since been forgotten. Due to its rarity, it had finally sold for 13 million, far surpassing its actual value.

Now, because Charlie had managed to restore the jade pot spring bottle using the lost method, its worth was destined to skyrocket!

Raymond’s face went pale. He had never anticipated that merely touching the jade huchun vase would lead to such immense loss and cost him his job.

Jasmine then demanded, “Where is the Master who repaired this jade huchun vase? Show him to me.”
