Chapter 284 Help Me

Old man Shou’s face changed drastically.

He didn't care about anything and just walked forward to grab the chicken-glazed cup.

Zhu Suisui and Zhu Lechen didn't have time to react to this action. Only Wu Wenrou subconsciously put down the bowl and reached out her hand.

But Old Man Shou already had it in his hand.

He was shaking all over, and finally he burst into tears.

This old man was more excited than the last time he saw Xu Hui.

Everyone was shocked.

Zhu Suisui opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa Shou..."

Old Man Shou was immersed in his own world. When he heard Zhu Suisui speak, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhu Suisui impatiently.

"Tell me, where did you get this from?!"

He couldn't stand steadily and looked very old and frail, but when he held Zhu Suisui's hand, it seemed as if it was made of steel and he held it very tightly.

Zhu Suisui didn't expect Old Man Shou to be so excited, so she had to briefly tell him how she got the Chicken Cup.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Suisui suddenly thought of what Yan Ziqing had said to him today.

The Hai family, the whereabouts of the whole family are unknown...

Is that possible?

Zhu Suisui looked at Old Man Shou, and it seemed like everything matched.

Looking at the old man's expression again, it doesn't look like he has seen a baby at all.

He is definitely not an ordinary person and has his own story.

But Zhu Suisui didn't know what the story was.

She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but now that she thought about it carefully, Old Man Shou was really too mysterious.

Wait until Zhu Suisui finishes speaking.

Old man Shou's mood has stabilized.

He looked at the chicken cup, as if he had made a great decision, and then looked at Zhu Suisui, his tone unexpectedly calm, "Sui Sui, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

Zhu Suisui couldn't help but admire such a centenarian old man.

If it were me, and I encountered such a change, and after so many years, I was able to glimpse some clues about what happened back then, I would be even more excited than Old Man Shou, and my emotions would be completely out of control.

Zhu Suisui couldn't even imagine what it would be like without any relatives.

Humans are social animals, and Zhu Suisui is no exception. She is sentimental and affectionate, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Although Old Man Shou has been through a lot and his heart is already full of scars, he is able to stabilize his emotions quickly. This is his ability.

Zhu Suisui didn't think that Old Man Shou would hurt himself. Maybe he just wanted to ask himself something that was not appropriate in front of so many people.

She nodded.

Zhu Lechen and Wu Wenrou were a little worried.

The main thing is that he looks like an old man who has just celebrated his birthday. He looks a bit weird and scary.

Zhu Suisui shook his head, "Don't you know what kind of person Grandpa Shou is? I'll be back soon."

After hearing Zhu Suisui say this, the two of them stopped talking.

Then they followed Old Man Shou into the house one after another.

Zhu Suisui placed the chicken cup on the table and suddenly asked, "Grandpa Shou, do you think this chicken cup is from the Ming Chenghua period?"

In response to Zhu Suisui's question, although Old Man Shou was more anxious to talk about other things, he still said, "What do you think?"

"If you ask me, I don't think so." Zhu Suisui told the truth.

There's just no basis for it.

However, after hearing this answer, Old Man Shou still glanced at Zhu Suisui.

How could ordinary people have such ability? He almost dared to say that apart from himself, there were only a handful of people who could tell the difference between this porcelain and others, or even none at all.

And how old is Zhu Sui?

She was only twenty years old after the Chinese New Year.

I am really young to the extreme, especially in the antique circle.

Such a happy birthday also made Old Man Shou make up his mind.

He did not continue the topic of the chicken-glazed cup, but told her a story.

That's a story from many years ago.

It was pretty much the same as what Yan Ziqing had said, but it was much more thrilling and more uncomfortable.

It turned out that this batch of porcelain was originally intended to be secretly shipped abroad, but the person in charge of the matter informed Old Man Shou about it.

Mr. Shou was a master of porcelain in his time, and he was also an expert in counterfeiting. No one else could do this except him.

He is a genius in the true sense. He has been surrounded by antiques since he was a child. He can learn something in just a few days that others take a year to learn. He has a photographic memory for everything. He was able to astound the whole of China without relying on the reputation of the Hai family.

And old man Shou also has a patriotic heart.

If he didn't know about this batch of porcelain, it would be fine, but why should these treasures belonging to China be shipped abroad? Only then did he agree.

But Old Man Shou also knew the risks involved, so he contacted Old Man Yan. He wanted to give the real things to him and the fake things to the person in charge so that he could get away with it.

But what I didn't expect was.

Before the things were handed over to Grandpa Yan, something went wrong at home.

All the genuine and fake goods have disappeared.

Even his wife and daughter were missing, which became a lifelong pain for the old man.

Old Man Shou told Zhu Suisui all his past that he had never told anyone.

Finally.

Old Man Shou looked at Zhu Suisui and said, "I once swore that I would never step into this business again. Antiques are indeed priceless and can make people feel the charm of Chinese treasures, but they really make people blinded by profit. If you are not careful, you may lose everything, or even worse, your wife and children will be separated and your family will be destroyed."

"If I had ignored this batch of porcelain at the beginning, and had clearly noticed that there was something wrong, but still had a lucky mentality, I would never be like this now. I harmed my wife and children, and this is also the knot in my heart for the rest of my life."

Can this matter be blamed on old man Shou?

Zhu Suisui thinks that if he were in this situation, and had the ability to do so, he might also make the same choice.

Those are treasures belonging to the Chinese people. No Chinese person wants them to be stolen.

But this incident indeed caused Old Man Shou's family to be broken up, and he probably spent his dreams in regret.

Zhu Suisui admired Old Man Shou but also felt sorry for his situation.

This seems to be an unsolvable answer.

Is the small family important, or is the big family important?

In that era, any choice was correct.

Zhu Suisui looked at Old Man Shou and said, "Grandpa Shou, do you have anything you want me to do?"

She is emotional, so she can empathize with others.

This also made Zhu Suisui feel delicate.

Old man Shou was hesitating whether to speak or not, but he didn't expect that Zhu Suisui had already sensed it. He took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Suisui with his cloudy eyes, and said.

"If I were to come out, I'm afraid the people behind me wouldn't dare to act rashly. Now that the fakes have come out, they might be able to find my wife and daughter, but I don't dare to make a move. Maybe my request is selfish. If you promise to help me investigate this matter, I can teach you all my skills, including everything in my house and this house. If you don't want to, I... won't force you."

This matter is bound to be full of dangers. Old Man Shou knows that he is very selfish, but if he can do it himself, he will not pin his hopes on Zhu Suisui.
