"Fake? No, that's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Sun Botao shook his head and said with certainty, "I've never been fooled by Ru ware. If I say it's real, then it's real!"
Liu Siyun sneered disdainfully, "Unfortunately, it is indeed fake!"
Seeing Liu Siyun's certainty, Sun Botao came over again, picked up the brush washer, and examined it repeatedly.
After examining it closely, he still firmly stated, "This is absolutely true; I can guarantee it with the reputation of the Sun family!"
"The Liu family's reputation?" Liu Siyun chuckled. "Young Master Sun, you'd better not casually mention your family's reputation. Otherwise, it will really make people think that the family's reputation is worthless!"
"You!" Sun Botao was so angry he couldn't speak. He hadn't expected this woman to be so harsh.
Sun Deqi also said with a stern face: "Miss Liu, these words are a bit too much. My Sun family, as a branch of the Mingmu School, has been dealing in antiques for over a hundred years. Do you think we can't even tell the difference between real and fake Ru ware? If you don't like my son, just say so. There's no need to humiliate my son and me in this way!"
At this moment, Liu Zhongyi spoke up, saying calmly, "Nephew, you can't say that. Although my granddaughter is a bit willful, she never treats matters of appraisal lightly! Besides, this brush washer is indeed fake!"
"Huh?" The father and son were both taken aback.
Liu Zhongyi's words carried immense weight.
As the leader of the Mingmu Sect, he would never lie about such a trivial matter.
Could it be that this brush was actually fake?
Sun Botao was still somewhat unconvinced. "Fine! Since you say this brush washer is fake, how can you prove it's fake? I'm a member of the Mingmu faction, I'm clear-headed and discerning! You have to give me a convincing reason, not just your two-faced words!"
Liu Zhongyi paused for a moment and looked at Liu Siyun.
Liu Siyun's eyes were somewhat complicated. After a moment, she slowly said, "This brush washer is made of enamel plating. The base is an old base, but the porcelain body is a modern imitation, made by the 'fish-eye school'. It's hard to tell the difference with the naked eye!"
"Tile tiling?"
Sun Botao quickly shook his head. "No, that's impossible. Tiling can't be flawless. I don't believe anyone can do tiling so perfectly! Your explanation is not convincing!"
Liu Siyun bit her lip, recalling the scene from the verbal duel that day, and murmured, "There's only one way to prove it's fake: smash it!"
"Broken?" Sun Botao frowned, still seemingly unable to understand.
Liu Siyun nodded, "That's right! It's meant to be smashed, because it's attached using a unique technique. After being smashed, it won't break into more than half, it will only break into two halves!"
"Broken in two?" Sun Botao couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. "Miss Liu, you're really joking. Ru ware is very fragile. If it falls, it will most likely shatter into tiny pieces. How could it possibly..."
Snap!
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Siyun threw the brush washer to the ground.
Whoosh!
The brush washer shattered instantly, exactly two pieces!
Upon seeing this, both father and son were dumbfounded.
Holy crap!
Is it really just porcelain veneer?
Even Sun Deqi, who had spent half his life dealing in antiques, found it unbelievable at this moment.
Is there really anyone in this world who can do tiling to this extent?
What a master!
Sun Botao's face turned bright red.
In an instant, all his arrogance was shattered and swallowed back down.
What does it mean to have mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people?
That's more like it!
Thinking back to my arrogance just now, I felt my face burning.
Do you still want to compete with others?
Before the other person even showed up, they had already slapped his face hard with just one object!
Liu Siyun slowly squatted down, picked up the brush washer, and held it in her palm.
"Grandpa, I'm tired, I want to be alone for a while!"
Her voice was hoarse, and after speaking, she picked up the brush washer and walked out.
Liu Zhongyi sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Only he could truly understand his granddaughter's feelings at that moment.
"uncle……"
Sun Deqi was about to say something, but Liu Zhongyi raised his hand to stop him.
“Nephew! I told you before, I’m only here to act as a go-between! Whether these two children end up together is entirely up to them!”
Liu Zhongyi shook his head inwardly.
The opportunity was given to you, but you were all useless!
What can I do?
Sun Botao's face was extremely ugly.
What's this?
It's just that I lost a bet!
Besides, who hasn't been fooled before?
Should we condemn him entirely just because of this one setback?
He was usually a playboy and a master of romance, always keeping the initiative in his own hands when he was with other women.
Faced with this defeat, he was extremely unwilling to accept it! He was trembling all over!
Sun Deqi knew his eldest son well; he was usually proud and arrogant, and this time he was probably feeling quite discouraged.
Not only was his son unwilling to accept it, but he himself was also unwilling to accept it!
He thought for a moment, then said to Liu Zhongyi, “Uncle Liu! I can see that my niece has quite a personality! But personality aside, in the end, a girl always has to get married! Marriage has always been arranged by parents and matchmakers…”
Liu Zhongyi waved his hand, "I know what you mean, but there's nothing I can do! I'm her grandfather, not her parents. Her parents are abroad, they received a modern education, there's no such thing as arranged marriages, they just want her to be happy!"
Sun Deqi, looking unwilling, said again, "Uncle, even without parental consent, the Mingmu Assembly is just around the corner! Shouldn't my niece be taking over the leadership? According to ancestral rules, one is not qualified to be the leader without being engaged. Does your Liu family intend to voluntarily relinquish the leadership?"
