Chapter 340: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 340: The Genuine Article Is with Me
"This Go set looks very exquisite and translucent... Especially this chessboard, crystal-clear... Can a fake achieve this level? It's impossible..." Mrs. Qian clearly didn't believe Ou Yan's words.
Mrs. You also tried to help the Xia family, "Yan Yan saw the photos of this Go set online, so when she compared it, she noticed the discrepancy, right? You can't fully trust photos online because the pixels are different, and what you see may have deviations..."
In the end, everything must be seen with one's own eyes; only what one sees with their own eyes is real!
Si Yechen supported Ou Yan with his arm around her slender waist and spoke up, "Just now, it was Mrs. Qian who asked my fiancée for her opinion. My fiancée spoke the truth, and there was no offense intended. She's right; this Go set indeed looks ordinary. Nowadays, speaking the truth isn't accepted? Must we flatter and praise incessantly?"
His words not only embarrassed the Xia family but also made Mrs. Qian and Mrs. You feel uncomfortable simultaneously.
"Ah Chen, do you also think so?" Xia Lin bit her lip. Obviously, Si Yechen was protecting this girl and even referred to her as his fiancée, giving her plenty of face! How did this girl manage it?
"Let's change the way we address each other in the future." Si Yechen looked at Xia Lin with indifference. "We've only met a few times and aren't close. Calling each other too intimately can lead to misunderstandings."
Seeing Si Yechen repeatedly defending that little girl, causing embarrassment to his precious granddaughter, Grandpa Xia couldn't help but intervene.
"Xia Lin knows that Grandma loves playing Go. She went to great lengths and used a lot of connections to buy this, showing her filial piety to Grandma. Now it's being called a fake, naturally, she feels upset... Our Xia family wouldn't resort to using a fake to deceive people, don't you agree?"
Sitting in the main seat, Grandma Si, Li Peiying, smiled gracefully and said, "Regardless of whether this Go set is real or fake, Xia Lin has good intentions. However, I cannot accept such an expensive gift without reason. You should take it back."
After speaking, Li Peiying covered the box and had the housekeeper bring the gift to Xia Lin's coffee table.
The implication was clear: take it back when leaving.
"Yan Yan, come over here to Grandma." Li Peiying waved to Ou Yan.
Ou Yan was pulled to sit between her and Si Hesong. Li Peiying patted the back of the little girl's hand affectionately and said, "Grandma likes children who speak the truth. Over the years, I've seen too much deceit. You, on the other hand, I prefer!"
This sentence made the faces of the others present even more unsightly.
"Young people should be like this. It reminds Grandma of her youth when she had such a temperament..." Li Peiying said with a smile.
Xia Lin, sitting on the sofa, was obviously dissatisfied. "Grandma, Miss Ou hasn't evaluated my Go set yet. Where is the fake?"
If Ou Yan didn't lay out all the facts today, she wouldn't let it go!
Li Peiying had already changed the topic, but now that Xia Lin brought it up again, the atmosphere became tense once more.
"Xia Lin may not understand why this Go set would be fake. Did Miss Ou overlook it or not recognize it?" Mrs. You, sitting aside, helped, "Miss Ou's doubt isn't just about this Go set, but also about Xia Lin's filial piety to Grandma..."
"Suspecting my things is fine, but suspecting my intentions towards Grandma is not!" Xia Lin clearly wanted to take advantage of the situation and vent her anger, "Miss Ou, please explain clearly where the fake is in this Go set!"
Li Peiying pretended to be generous, smiling, "Children nowadays like to make a mountain out of a molehill. Let them handle their own affairs... We adults can just watch. They are still young, still taking things seriously. Come, come, come, Mr. and Mrs., let's continue drinking tea..."
Instead of stopping his granddaughter, he seemed to encourage her to make a scene, spoiling her to the bone.
Si Hesong was somewhat unhappy. If it weren't for the fact that old Xia saved his son's life back then, he would have kicked them out long ago, without giving them any face.
Just as Si Hesong was about to speak up, Ou Yan spoke.
"Grandpa, Grandma, please enjoy your tea first." Ou Yan handed the tea to Si Hesong and then to Li Peiying, speaking gently, "Since Miss Xia insists on knowing the truth, then I'll tell her and put an end to it."
Li Peiying saw the momentum of the little girl and smiled, "Alright, you two discuss it yourselves. We adults won't intervene."
When Si Hesong and Li Peiying stopped intervening, Xia Lin became even more delighted, "Then please, Miss Ou, explain it to us, and we'll listen attentively!"
Ou Yan's gaze fell on her, her tone neither servile nor overbearing, "The reason I'm certain that this Go set is fake is because the real one is with me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
Was this girl's audacity too much? How could she dare to lie in front of so many people?
They knew the value of this Go set...
Chu Lao, the previous collector, had a nasty temper. Even if Grandma Si personally asked for it and offered a high price, Chu Lao might not sell it.
The little girl was only a few years old. What capabilities and resources did she have to make Chu Lao change his mind and sell the Go set to her?
Xia Lin looked at Ou Yan with obvious disdain, "Do you know how much this Go set costs?"
Seeing that she didn't even have a single branded piece of clothing on her, it was obvious she couldn't afford it!
"My Go set couldn't possibly be fake! If you say the genuine one is with you, then bring it out and let everyone see!"
Just then, Ou Yan's phone vibrated a few times, perfect timing!
"Alright, I'll get it now." Ou Yan got up and went to the front door.
Her subordinate handed the invaluable box to her, puzzled, "Boss, why are you in such a hurry for this thing? Just to please the Si family? You've changed!"
What kind of potion did Si Yechen give her? Someone who loves money like her actually gave away such a valuable thing...
The key was, she asked for it to be delivered in ten minutes...
God knows how fast he was driving...
"Hurry up and leave." Ou Yan took the item and walked back, not even sparing a glance at her subordinate.
Her subordinate looked at her indifferent back and sighed. The boss no longer loved him, didn't care about how fast he drove, whether he was tired or thirsty on the way... Just let him leave...
"Young people nowadays, lying without hesitation..." In the living room, old Xia shook his head with a smile, clearly questioning Ou Yan's character, "The genuine article couldn't possibly be with her..."
Let's see what she brings out!
After a while, Ou Yan came in carrying an exquisite box. Si Hesong, who knew a thing or two, almost confirmed that the genuine one was indeed in the little girl's hands!
Old Xia , seeing the box, was also incredulous, his gaze fixed...
