Let me put it like this for you. What you are holding in your hands, you can easily find large handfuls of them in night markets, tourist attractions, and even on e-commerce websites. You should count yourself lucky if you could resell it for 30 RMB, let alone 300,000 RMB. Its the kind of cheap imitation that costs only 10 RMB to manufacture.

I hope that you wont find my words too jarring to your ears, but Im just putting the truth out to you. Inkstones are not like porcelain vases and paintings, which can fetch up to millions. Im not saying that there arent valuable inkstones out thereof course there isbut they are extremely rare. 200,000 RMB for an inkstone can already be considered to be an astronomical sum

And yet, you spent 300,000 RMB for one. I really have to say, how much common sense do you lack to actually do something like that? I really wonder if you have brought out a fake one to make a big fuss over it, only to end up getting exposed by me

Also, you claimed that Im a sham? You can ask those who are in the banquet hall and see how many of them recognize me? There are plenty of experts who would invite me over to get a second opinion from me when they are faced with an antique they are uncertain about. Miss Liang, your words dont demean me. They only show how narrow-minded and ignorant you are.

Theres a saying that those who are ignorant are to be feared, but whats truly terrifying is when an ignorant person tries to pa.s.s off as a knowledgeable person. Miss Liang, I advise you to learn some humility and manners from Miss s.h.i.+

Against Uncle Ges fast and sharp mouth, Liang Mumu didnt even have a chance to cut in at all. Her face was completely red by the time Uncle Ge was done, be it whether it was out of embarra.s.sment or anger.

Lin Jiage, who had been watching the show from the side all this while, knew that it was time to wrap up, so he stepped in and said, Uncle Ge, allow me to apologize to you. I invited you over to do us a favor, but this whole affair ended up upsetting you instead.

Forget it, I wont hold a grudge against a junior. If theres nothing else here, Ill return to my seat to have a drink.

With a wave of his hand, Uncle Ge turned around and began to walk away.

But barely after taking two steps, he suddenly halted his footsteps and said, Theres something that I would like to speak of that will be inappropriate for the occasion, but I think that its something that has to be addressed.

Its not that I want to accusations over here, but from the start to the end of this fiasco, Miss s.h.i.+ hasnt said anything at all. Instead, it was Miss Liang who kept pus.h.i.+ng the matter along with her words

After leaving behind those words, Uncle Ge walked back to his seat and sat down.

There was no one in this banquet hall who was a fool.

Those who might not have been thinking deeply into it earlier, after Uncle Ges explicit hint, they recounted everything that had happened so far and realized that there was more to this matter than what they saw on the surface.

I didnt notice before, but now that Mr Ge has pointed it out, it sure is terrifying

Despite her young age, Miss Liang is already engaging in mind games. Its obvious that shes trying to make a fool out of the granddaughter-in-law of the Lin Family!

In the end, everything backfired on her, and she became the laughingstock instead.

Hearing the words all around him, Grandpa Lins expression gradually grew more and more displeased.

He was, after all, the person who had built the Lin Familys company from scratch. Years in the corporate world had built up an imposing air within his bones. He might appear to be a jolly old man most of the time, but once he got serious, the authoritative aura he exuded was not to be scoffed at.

Huiling, is this the kind of child you have been raising up?

Hearing Grandpa Lins words, Liang Huiling immediately stood up and said, Uncle Lin, please allow me to apologize to you. I didnt think that such a matter would occur during your birthday banquet. Ill surely discipline Mumu properly once we get home, and Ill have her pay you a visit another day to apologize to you formally.
