Chapter 163: Trapped_1
Hearing this argument, Mo Han frowned slightly. It seemed his guess was correct; his father-in-law really had gotten into trouble, and it involved a Yuan Dynasty porcelain worth over six million, not a small sum at all.
"You... you’re talking nonsense!" Luo Yuantu’s face turned red as he retorted, "That vase just fell over by itself, I just happened to be nearby!"
Mo Han said in a stern voice, "Dad, is this your first time here?"
"Of course, it is!" Luo Yuantu patted his thigh regretfully and said, "You know, my chess buddy Old Wang, I often go to their community to play chess."
"This morning, we were playing chess just fine when his son-in-law called, saying he had bought a set of calligraphy pieces at Yulin Zhai, claiming they were from the Song Dynasty, and wanted my help to take a look."
"I do browse through a variety of books and watch quite a few antique appraisal shows, so I thought I’d check them out."
"I looked at the calligraphy pieces and they were indeed nice, but probably not authentic."
"As soon as I made that comment, Old Wang’s son decided not to buy them, and afterward I thought since I was there I might as well browse around, and who would have known this would happen!"
"I suspect it’s a setup by Yulin Zhai because their business didn’t go through!"
After listening to all this, Mo Han shook his head repeatedly. Wasn’t his father-in-law simply asking for trouble?
Setting aside whether he could actually appraise treasures, even if he could, he shouldn’t have so openly made those remarks in someone else’s shop.
