Su Mu didn't answer the old man's question immediately. Instead, he looked at the sword.
Or rather, he was thinking about how to say it so that the old man would not feel embarrassed.
When he first saw the bronze sword, his eyes showed that it was a modern art piece. The green embroidery on it was also an old imitation of chemicals.
In other words, this was a fake bronze sword, the kind of artwork that cost dozens of yuan.
Su Mu glanced at the old man and asked,""Grandpa, did you really spend 800,000?”
The old man nodded.
Su Mu pondered for a moment and then glanced at the bronze sword.
"This is a bronze sword from the Warring States Period.”Butler Meng said.
Su Mu put down the bronze sword in his hand and said,""Grandpa, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”
"What lies?" The old man smiled and asked deliberately.
"If it's a lie, then it's worth it. This sword isn't worth eight hundred thousand. It's at least one or two million. Grandpa, you have good taste!”Su Mu's expression was exaggerated.
"Haha!" The old man smiled." What about the truth?”
"Are you telling the truth? This money is worthless. It's worth at most 150 yuan, and it's free shipping.”Su Mu said.
"Ah?" Dai Xiaodie exclaimed," This is a fake sword?”
"Young Master Su, that's impossible, right? You're saying that this is a counterfeit?”Butler Meng pretended to be surprised.
Stop pretending. Even Su Mu could tell that Uncle Meng was acting.
"I think Grandpa, Uncle Meng, you should know that this is a piece of artwork, right?”Su Mu said with a smile.
"Good eyesight!" Old Master Dai was really impressed this time." I now believe that you're really an expert, Little Mu."”
This meant that the old man had admitted it.
"Grandpa, I want to know if you really spent 800,000 yuan?”Su Mu confirmed.
The old man nodded awkwardly." Yes, I did spend 800,000 yuan. It was only after I came back that I realized that I had been tricked.”
"No way, Grandpa. Even you have fallen for it?”The one who spoke was Dai Xiaodie. In her impression, her grandfather was very powerful and had no record of failing in collecting antiques.
"Girl, I'm not a god. Of course, there are times when I'm wrong.”Dai Gongli scolded with a smile.
"Hehe!" Dai Xiaodie smiled." Grandpa, I want to hear how you were deceived."”
"Why are you happy that Grandpa didn't lie to you?”The old man glared.
"No, it's just that I rarely see Grandfather being deceived. Is it strange?”Dai Xiaodie giggled.
Dai Gongli was amused." Actually, there's nothing strange about it. At that time, it was my fault for being overconfident. That's why people make mistakes.”
Pausing for a moment, Dai Gongli shifted his gaze to Su Mu and asked curiously,""Xiao Mu, how did you know that it was fake?”
"It's very simple. Just smell it.”Su Mu said.
"Smelling?" Dai Gongli was puzzled.
Su Mu smiled and picked up the bronze sword." Grandpa, can you smell it?”
Dai Gongli leaned closer and sniffed. The next second, he smiled and said to Butler Meng,"Old Meng, smell it too."
Butler Meng leaned closer and took a whiff." There's really a smell of paint. Aiya, Old Master didn't expect it to be so simple. We should have smelled it back then."”Butler Meng said regretfully.
There was also the smell of paint, needless to say.
The old man had only noticed it when he returned home and took a closer look with a magnifying glass. He did not expect it to be so easy to identify.
Sometimes, the way to expose the truth was that simple.
"It really smells like paint!" Dai Xiaodie took the sword and sniffed it before saying in surprise.
"Pa, pa, pa!" The old man clapped.
"Pa, pa, pa!" Then, Butler Meng applauded." Young Master Su is really a hero from a young age. You're amazing. You've opened my eyes today!”
Haha!
Su Mu smiled. He had given himself 103 points for this wave of bragging. He was not afraid to be proud of the extra three points.
"Indeed, heroes come from young people!" Old man Dai boasted. Old man rarely praised a person, especially a young man.
After a pause, the old man thought of something and said,"Xiao Mu, are you free next Thursday?”
"Yes!" Su Mu nodded and said," My school will be on summer vacation next week. I have a lot of time. Is there anything I can help you with, Grandpa?"”
"Then you can accompany me to the capital. On Thursday, there will be a grand antique auction in Panjiayuan. You can accompany me and Xiao Die can accompany Grandpa.”Old Master Dai said.
"Alright, alright!" Dai Xiaodie rushed to agree.
Su Mu nodded and said," I've heard about Pan Jiayuan for a long time. I'm going with Grandpa to broaden my horizons."”
"Then it's settled."
As they were talking, a servant came out of the villa." Master, it's time to eat."”
"Have you eaten?" The old man stood up and said to Su Mu kindly,""Little Mu, have a meal at Grandpa's house and drink with me. We can continue chatting at the dining table.”
"Alright!"
Su Mu stood up and followed the old man into the villa.
While walking, the old man said to Xiao Die,""Xiao Mu is a very good child. In the future, you have to support each other when you get along with each other. You can't throw tantrums, understand?”
"Got it, Grandpa." Dai Xiaodie replied happily. She was happy. Her grandfather's words meant that he agreed to them being together.
However, this girl had only been happy for a second when the old man said," Your father has told me a few times to let you go back to work at the company. You should go back to the company, okay?”
