Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Hollow Jade Ring Porcelain Vase

Xaviera Evans thought that Yigol was just too adorable. How could such a mistress, as cruel as Jenny Green, give birth to a son with such upright morals?

She gave Yigol a slight smile, “Don’t worry, though Caleb doesn’t know, I do!”

Meanwhile, at the door.

Sean was standing next to Caleb, watching the grim-faced man, feeling increasingly restless. He had begun to miss Steve, thinking if he were there, the atmosphere would not be so awkward.

Caleb furrowed his brow, he hadn’t been in contact with the porcelain master all these years. What if he couldn’t help Xaviera?

When they arrived at the entrance to the porcelain shop, Steve looked surprised, “Eh? Boss, why are you here?”

Caleb, who was already in a foul mood, retorted upon hearing Steve’s words: “With that IQ of yours, don’t claim to be my assistant. Of course, I came here because of the famille rose porcelain vase!”

Upon entering, Xaviera also looked surprised, “Caleb, what are you here for?”

Upon seeing Xaviera’s smiling face, all the irritation in Caleb’s heart dissipated instantly. His face was full of gentle smiles, “I came to see you, why are you still not home after window-shopping for so long?”

Steve: “???” I’m really speechless! The Boss is a real two-faced person!

With the bet now set, even if anyone comes, nothing can be changed. As Tracy Swift looked at the man before her, her heart pounded violently.

Tobey Swift didn’t notice her sister’s emotions, still wearing a disdainful look on her face, “Miss, if you really know the porcelain master, let him hurry over. I want to see who of us can bring the most skilled porcelain master.”

A porcelain master?

Caleb walked over to her and whispered, “Are you going to lose?”

Xaviera frowned, did he think that she was too useless? Remember, she is an internationally renowned designer, and even if she didn’t know, she still had several brothers. What should she be worried about?

However, Xaviera still wanted to know Caleb’s answer and so she raised an eyebrow and asked, “What should I do if I lose?”

Then came a wicked laugh from the man, followed by a lazy answer, “What else can you do? Reneging on the bet! The Swift family is nothing more than a destitute old house? What can they do if we don’t give? It’s not like we’ve left any written evidence.”

The Swift family talked about the integrity of a scholar, but they wanted Xaviera to gamble with the “Heart of the Rose”. Clearly, they were a bunch of fame-chasing imposters, so why should Xaviera reason with such people?

Xaviera Evans: “…” Reneging on a bet? Is this Caleb really so shameless? But she found it quite funny!

At that moment, the shopkeeper chuckled and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to explain my grandfather’s tradition. As his granddaughter is precious to him, he wanted to give her the best famille rose porcelain, so he hopes to invite the No. 1 master of ceramic art in the world to make a hollow jade ring porcelain vase.”

Once the shopkeeper spoke, the whole shop was instantly silent.

“Hollow jade ring porcelain vase? Wasn’t that technique lost a long time ago?”

“Yes, the manufacturing method is extremely complicated. As the name suggests, it involves a fusion of jade and porcelain. Porcelain requires firing while jade cannot withstand high temperatures, so they must be carved separately, and then fused together with a unique technique so they become one.”

Just hearing about this method could be daunting, who other than the No. 1 master of ceramic art could make such complex porcelain?

Rumor has it that someone did produce such porcelain, but there have only been three successful attempts in several hundred years. In recent years, only people from the Heninger family have made it. But, the Heninger family has now retreated to Black Island and doesn’t worry about worldly matters. Who could invite them?

Now that the shopkeeper has proposed such a requirement, it has indeed put everyone in a dilemma.

Yigol was extremely anxious, what if Xaviera couldn’t invite a master who could make a hollow jade ring porcelain vase? That would mean a loss. However, there was one possibility – that the Swift family couldn’t invite such an eminent person either.

While everyone was silent, Tracy Swift stepped forward with a subtle smile, “Elder, given that you know about the hollow jade ring vase, do you know anyone from the Heninger family?”

The shopkeeper laughed and replied, “So, could Miss Swift find a porcelain master?”

Tracy Swift blushed slightly and smiled, “The Swift and the Heninger families are both recognized as the porcelain families. My father and Heningers are good friends, and I saw the hollow jade ring vase when I was young.”

Yigol was anxious and pacing, “Xaviera! We’re done! It seems like she really knows the porcelain master!”

Xaviera was calm, “Why the rush? She hasn’t invited him yet, has she?”

“You can really play cool! If we really lose, are you going to give the Heart of the Rose to her? It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for my argument with them, you wouldn’t have to bet with them.”
