Chapter 398: 398
"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 . It's the kind of cheap imitation that costs only 10 RMB to manufacture .
"I hope that you won't find my words too jarring to your ears, but I'm just putting the truth out to you . Inkstones are not like porcelain vases and paintings, which can fetch up to millions . I'm not saying that there aren't valuable inkstones out there—of course there is—but 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 I'm 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 don't demean me . They only show how narrow-minded and ignorant you are .
"There's a saying that those who are ignorant are to be feared, but what's truly terrifying is when an ignorant person tries to pass off as a knowledgeable person . Miss Liang, I advise you to learn some humility and manners from Miss Shi…"
Against Uncle Ge's fast and sharp mouth, Liang Mumu didn't 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 embarrassment 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 won't hold a grudge against a junior . If there's nothing else here, I'll 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, "There's something that I would like to speak of that will be inappropriate for the occasion, but I think that it's something that has to be addressed .
