"… I remember that Uncle Ge is an expert in appraising. I saw him on the guest list a while ago. May I know where he's seated today?" Hearing those words, Lin Jiage craned his neck to scan the surroundings, "… I remember Uncle Ge being an expert in appraising.
The person in charge of the guest list was Lin Jiage's aunt, Lin Gunan. Hearing Lin Jiage's doubt, she immediately replied, "I know. He's at the first row by the window."
Having already known where Uncle Ge was, Lin Jiage glanced in the direction his aunt had pointed out and acted as if he had seen the person he was looking for. A moment later, realization dawned on him, and he said, "Ah, I see Uncle Ge. Sis, it's more convenient for you over there, so may I trouble you to invite Uncle Ge over?"
Lin Jiayi replied readily, "Sure."
Before she stood up, Lin Jiayi added, "For Yaoyao's sake, I'm running an errand for you for free. If it had been any other time, I would have charged you a fee!"
Speechless, Lin Jiage's lips twitched, but he didn't say a word.
To think that a money-grubber could be to such an extent, it was truly … frightening!
It didn't take long for Lin Jiayi to invite Uncle Ge over.
Uncle Ge had a close relationship with Lin Jiage's father, Lin Gubei, so he first greeted Grandpa Lin and exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Gubei before getting straight to the point, asking if there was anything he needed help with.
Lin Jiage first politely greeted "Uncle Ge" before briefly explaining the situation to him. Finally, he got straight to the point, "Uncle Ge, the reason why I invited you here is to have you appraise these two inkstones. Which one is the real one and which one is the fake?"
Hearing Lin Jiage's words, Shi Yao nearly choked on her cake.
So, Young Master Lin actually invited an expert over to appraise her inkstone?
But her inkstone was probably just a blade of grass, and a blade of grass that cost 200 RMB at that … Was Young Master Lin really here to help her? Was he trying to harm her?
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao hurriedly swallowed the cake in her mouth and tried to stop him.
It was one thing if he didn't appraise the inkstone, but if he were to appraise it for real, wouldn't she become a laughingstock?
However, barely after Shi Yao said "wait", Lin Jiage stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth and said, "Uncle Ge, before you start appraising, I'll have to ask you to wait for a moment …"
As he spoke, he turned to Liang Mumu and asked, "… Miss Liang, may I know which inkstone you have?"
Liang Mumu pointed to her inkstone and said, "It's this."
"Auntie Sun …" Lin Jiage barely managed to utter those two words before he suddenly paused. "… Forget it, I think it's best not to call her Auntie Sun. If Auntie Sun were to bring the inkstone over to Miss Liang, and the results of the appraisal didn't meet Miss Liang's expectations, Miss Liang might say that Auntie Sun had tampered with the inkstone and try to frame Miss Liang. If so, we'll be in deep trouble … So, Miss Liang, I think it would be best for you to carry your inkstone in your embrace … Remember to hold it tightly so that you don't drop it …"
Hearing Lin Jiage's sarcasm, Liang Mumu's face turned a little awkward, but she still picked up her inkstone.
After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Jiage turned to Uncle Ge and said, "Uncle Ge, I'll be troubling you then."
Shi Yao's body shuddered.
Do you really have to bring disaster upon us so quickly? Can't you at least give us a little buffer?
