The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 397

Chapter 397: Was Her Name Really Shi Yao And Not Hacker? (1)

Being complimented by someone else should have been a joyful event, but Shi Yao couldn’t help but feel extremely sheepish on the inside. So, she tried to clarify the situation, saying, “Uncle Ge, it was really just luck. A friend introduced me to the shop, and I saw that the inkstone looks not bad and only costs 200 RMB, so I bought it right away…”

But how much of a coincidence would it take for one to buy a 200,000 RMB inkstone for just 200 RMB? Uncle Ge didn’t think that it was just luck at play here.

He thought that Shi Yao was just being humble, and that deepened his respect and fondness toward her. He turned to Grandpa Lin and remarked, “Old Master Lin, youngsters nowadays tend to get over their head over the smallest matters. It’s truly rare to see someone as humble as your granddaughter-in-law! The fact that she bought it right away as soon as she saw it means that she’s a highly decisive person who doesn’t hesitate to act on her good judgment!”

Excuse me! Is this a new trend now for people to be complimented over even the most minor of stuff? I bought it because I was afraid that the seller would take back his offer, but even that can be regarded as being decisive?

Shi Yao was simply getting more and more baffled by the situation.

Who in the world could tell her what was going on?

It was as if the entire world was somehow favoring her all of a sudden!

The compliments from Uncle Ge made Grandpa Lin even more delighted. He was smiling so brightly that he could hardly close his mouth anymore. “Of course, look at whose granddaughter-in-law you’re talking about…”

Grandpa Lin, calm down, calm down!

Shi Yao prayed deeply in her heart, but it wasn’t working at all.

The overly excited Grandpa Lin was more and more overboard with his compliment, “Little Ge, it’s not that I want to boast, but Yaoyao has always been good in her studies ever since she was younger. She’s beautiful, caring, and filial. You can look out there in the world, but you won’t find anyone as good as her. Our Lin Family has really picked up a treasure this time around…”

Liang Mumu, who was hugging the fake inkstone verified by Uncle Ge, looked at Grandpa Lin’s gleeful look, the bright smiles on the faces of the Lin Family, and finally the slight smile on the face of the usually forbidding Jiang Wangui. She clutched the inkstone in her grasp tightly.

She had really spent 300,000 RMB on this inkstone, so how could it be fake?

That Ge-something guy, he kept complimenting Shi Yao in all kinds of ways. Could it be that he had been bribed by Shi Yao?

Liang Mumu was determined to put Shi Yao down, but somehow, after a series of bizarre happenings, she became the one who was humiliated instead.

Listening to the proud words that were accompanied by a “Yaoyao” coming out of Grandpa Lin’s mouth, her body began to tremble in agitation.

She couldn’t believe that her inkstone was fake. That Ge-something guy must have been lying!

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was with that idea. So, she interjected Grandpa Lin and butted in, saying, “Mr Ge, are you a sham?”

The words spoken by Liang Mumu left Uncle Ge stunned for a few good seconds. A furrow slowly formed on his forehead as he asked in displeasure, “Miss Liang, what do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean by that? It’s exactly as what you’re hearing.”

The rage boiling within Liang Mumu had dulled her rationality, such that her words had become incredibly impolite.

“You merely shot a glance at my inkstone before deeming that it’s a fake. How could there be anyone who appraises so perfunctorily? You must have been desperate to please the Lin Family that you spoke all of that nonsense, isn’t that so?”

Uncle Ge was still calm when he heard the first few sentences from Liang Mumu, but when she began accusing her of fawning on the Lin Family, his face began to turn ugly.

“Miss Liang, I’m only here to determine the authenticity of the inkstones. The reason why I’m telling you your inkstone is fake is so that you can demand compensation from the person who sold you the good. I didn’t think that you wouldn’t appreciate my goodwill at all. Since that’s the case, I’ll shan’t hold my words back either!”
