Chapter 390: The Real Inkstone (2)

Shen Bailian raised the inkstone up high and took a good look at it before carrying it over to the table and placing it right next to the inkstone s.h.i.+ Yao had prepared.

Aiya, these two inkstones are really identical to one another! If thats the case, wouldnt that mean one of them is authentic whereas the other one is a fake?

But Mumu, I was with you when you bought the inkstone. You spent 300,000 RMB on it, so its definitely the real deal. Does that mean that Yaoyao gave an imitation to Old Master Lin for his birthday?

Old Master Lin dotes on her so much, but she actually gave him a fake good? Shes the fiance betrothed to Lin Jiage, the future matriarch of the Lin Family! How could a person like that give an imitation to Old Master Lin? This is really

Bailian, what in the world are you talking about?! Dont you know that this is Grandpa Lins birthday banquet? Liang Mumu stomped her foot angrily as she quickly rushed forward to cover Shen Bailians mouth in order to stop her from running her mouth any further.

Taking this entire scene into sight, the look on Lin Jiages face turned a little cold.

What are you acting for? Its obvious that youre her accomplice! If you really didnt want that what Bailian woman to run her mouth, you could have stopped her earlier. Yet, you only chose to step forward after she had spat out everything to play the role of the mediator here!

After Shen Bailian fell silent, Liang Mumu discreetly shot a glance at Jiang w.a.n.gui.

She knew that Jiang w.a.n.gui was a conventional and prideful woman, and just as she had expected, the latters face had already darkened by quite a bit.

Knowing that she had managed to achieve her aim, her heart trembled in glee. However, on the surface, she still maintained an apologetic expression as she said, Grandpa Lin, please dont get angry. I didnt expect our gifts to be identical to one another. I only shot a glance at Yaoyaos gift earlier, so I didnt think that it would turn out like that. Bailian has always been forthright with her words, so dont take what she had said to heart. Allow me to apologize in her stead

Besides, as you have said, its the sincerity behind the gift that counts. Yaoyao has always been very filial to you, so even if she got you a fake inkstone, Im certain that she doesnt mean any disrespect to you. After all, shes limited by her background

In truth, Grandpa Lin didnt pay this matter any heed. Even if s.h.i.+ Yao had given him a fake inkstone, he would still treasure it well.

It was just that Liang Mumus words had too many implied meanings in there.

On top of that, Shen Bailians agitated and loud outburst earlier had brought the attention of many people over, and Liang Mumus voice wasnt particularly soft when she apologized either.

Due to that, these words were heard by practically the entire banquet hall.

As such, Liang Mumus seemingly earnest apology ended up incurring quite a bit of discussion within the room.

In the end, the inkstone which Old Master Lin has placed on the table so happily turns out to be an imitation good?

Isnt that granddaughter-in-law of his a little too unfilial? How could she give away an imitation as a gift?

Based on what I heard from the young lady from the Liang Family, it seems like Old Master Lins granddaughter-in-law comes from a humble background. I really wonder why Old Master Lin betrothed his grandson to such a woman. No matter what, shouldnt the Lin Family find someone worthy of their standing?

These discussions swiftly made their rounds in the banquet hall. Putting aside how Jiang w.a.n.guis face was turning more and more awful by the moment, even the relatives of the Lin Family were starting to show awkward and displeased looks too.

And at this very moment, s.h.i.+ Yao really couldnt bring herself to continue eating anymore.

It was not as if she had never wondered about why Liang Mumu had talked about how she had prepared an inkstone for Grandpa Lin as his birthday present.
