"Grandpa Shen, what's wrong?" Su Muyu's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Mr. Shen didn't say anything. He looked at it carefully again, and then asked calmly, "Mu Yu, how much did you pay for this ginseng?"
“Thirty-five million.” Shen Muyu replied: “Grandpa Shen, is there anything wrong?”
"No, no, it's fine." Mr. Shen waved his hands repeatedly.
He smiled and said, "You are thoughtful. I like to collect rare Chinese medicines."
"Like musk, deer antler, cordyceps and snow lotus, I've seen too many of them."
"With the advancement of technology, the level of counterfeiting is getting higher and higher."
"Mr. Shen, this... did Mu Yu buy a fake?" Father Shen was shocked.
"No, no, stay for dinner." Mr. Shen put away his tools and said with a smile.
Staying for dinner was actually an order to leave. The father and daughter knew it was time to leave.
The two of them said goodbye quickly and walked out the door. Father Shen’s face suddenly darkened: “Mu Yu, is there something wrong with the ginseng you bought?”
"It's Bazhentang's national treasure auction, and with Lin Fang in charge, there shouldn't be any problems." Su Muyu frowned slightly.
"Mr. Shen's performance clearly shows that he is unhappy."
Father Shen was a little angry: "We had a good discussion before. We catered to his wishes. If there is no problem with participation, the matter will basically be settled."
"But now..."
Before he finished speaking, the Shen family's housekeeper rushed out: "You two, please stay."
"Butler Chen, what's the matter?" Father Shen stopped quickly.
"Please take this ginseng king back, Mr. Shen." The housekeeper took out a box, and inside was the ginseng that Su Muyu had bought.
“This… Mr. Shen doesn’t like it?” Father Shen’s heart sank.
"Not really. Mr. Shen appreciates the kindness of Mr. Su and Miss Su." The housekeeper smiled.
"But he said his teeth are not good and he might not be able to chew this carrot. Please take it back."
Father Su's face twitched a little. He took the ginseng and felt extremely embarrassed.
Su Muyu felt even more ashamed. As expected, she had bought a fake.
Mr. Shen was already saving face by not exposing him on the spot.
But the Su family has lost face, and it will be difficult to discuss cooperation.
"I'm really sorry, Mu Yu is young and didn't recognize it." Father Su said awkwardly, "I'll go to Mr. Shen's house another day to apologize."
"No need. Mr. Shen will offer sacrifices to his ancestors tomorrow and then return to Beijing." The housekeeper left after saying this.
The Su family's father and daughter felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. The meaning was very clear, and they were afraid that there was no hope for cooperation.
Father Su got into the car angrily. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then his mood calmed down a little.
"Dad, I'm sorry for disappointing you." Su Muyu felt very guilty.
"Do you know how rare this opportunity is?"
Father Su clapped his hands and said, "If we unite with the Shen family, the Su family will have a chance to soar to the sky and become a famous and prestigious family."
"However, because of your mistake, the Su family's dream of becoming a prominent family was shattered, and they can only remain in the small city of Jiang forever as nouveau riche."
"You... disappoint me so much."
"I'm sorry, Dad. I will find a way to make it back." Su Muyu bit her lip lightly.
Yes, the Su family is a wealthy family in Jiangcheng, but compared with the famous families in places like Yanjing and Jinling, they are just nouveau riche.
The gap between the two sides is that a summer insect cannot talk about ice. This time, because of her mistake, the Su family is afraid of missing this opportunity.
She couldn't help but think of Xiao Chen, that damn bastard, who could tell there was something wrong with the ginseng right away.
If he had reminded himself a few more times, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
"There's still a chance. It depends on whether you're willing or not." Su glanced at her and asked the driver to drive.
Su Muyu's heart kept sinking.
Is it possible that we will eventually have to take the path of marriage?
In the morning, before the bell rang, students walked into the school one after another.
Song Ziyan asked the driver to park the car far away, then he found a bicycle and rode it to the door.
After learning to ride a bicycle from Xiao Chen, she fell in love with this sport.
Just when they reached the door, Xiao Chen also came over.
"Xiao Chen." Putting down the bicycle, Song Ziyan rushed over.
"Good morning." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
Seeing Song Ziyan holding a bag, he asked curiously, "What is this for?"
"I won't tell you." Song Ziyan quickly held the bag tightly.
This is the scarf she knitted for Xiao Chen. Although it is ugly and not suitable for this season, it was knitted by her own hands.
But she hasn't figured out how to give it to Xiao Chen yet.
"So mysterious?" Xiao Chen became even more curious: "I'll take a look, just one look."
"No, don't." Song Ziyan held the bag tightly, fearing that Xiao Chen would attack her by surprise.
"Okay, then I won't look at it." Xiao Chen was helpless. What was it that was so mysterious?
"You'll know later, but you can't see it now." Seeing that he no longer insisted, Song Ziyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I got it. Class is about to start, so hurry up." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
When the two were about to enter the school gate, a woman suddenly rushed over.
She held a basin of water in her hand and suddenly poured it towards Xiao Chen.
And screamed: "Xiao Chen, you pervert, how dare you peek at my daughter taking a bath!"
Xiao Chen and Song Ziyan were walking side by side, and this basin of water was bound to soak them both.
In the critical moment, Xiao Chen turned around and protected Song Ziyan behind him. A whole basin of cold water was poured on him.
Song Ziyan was almost frightened silly. When she came to her senses, she screamed, "Xiao Chen, are you okay?"
