Chapter 390: 390
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 Shi Yao had prepared .
"Aiya, these two inkstones are really identical to one another! If that's the case, wouldn't 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 it's 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? She's the fiancée 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?! Don't you know that this is Grandpa Lin's birthday banquet?" Liang Mumu stomped her foot angrily as she quickly rushed forward to cover Shen Bailian's mouth in order to stop her from running her mouth any further .

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 don't get angry . I didn't expect our gifts to be identical to one another . I only shot a glance at Yaoyao's gift earlier, so I didn't think that it would turn out like that . Bailian has always been forthright with her words, so don't take what she had said to heart . Allow me to apologize in her stead…
"Besides, as you have said, it's the sincerity behind the gift that counts . Yaoyao has always been very filial to you, so even if she got you a fake inkstone, I'm certain that she doesn't mean any disrespect to you . After all, she's limited by her background…"
