Shen Xinchen thought that after he said such words, Xinluo would definitely show fear.
But Xinluo nodded in agreement with her words.
"Yes, my cousin is right. Great-grandfather, I am short-sighted and inevitably deceived. You have a broad vision, so why don't you help me to be more discerning?"
"Who is your cousin!" Shen Xinchen said angrily.
I have never seen a woman who is so good at taking advantage of others. She not only gave gifts, but also tried to get my great-grandfather to judge her.
What did she take her great-grandfather for, one of those cheap connoisseurs out there
"Oh, so she's not my cousin?"
Xinluo frowned in a daze and said in a neither-too-loud nor-soft voice, "You look older than me. I thought you were my cousin, but it turns out you are my younger cousin. Sorry, cousin, I called you the wrong name just now."
"You, who are you talking about..."
"That's enough—"
Shen Yi finally spoke, with a cold and aggressive tone.
Shen Xinchen glared at Xinluo with pride.
Humph, you've been talking so disrespectfully. Just wait for your father to give you a lesson.
"Shen Xinchen, apologize to your cousin!"
The smug smile on Shen Xinchen's face froze, and she looked at Shen Yi in disbelief.
“You…what did you say…?”
"I told you to apologize to Xinluo, did you hear me?"
"I won't apologize! Why should I apologize!" Shen Xinchen's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Great-grandfather, look... Dad is being mean to me again..." Shen Xinchen complained to the old man as usual.
But the old man's entire energy was focused on the five collections in front of him.
Especially the last small Ru kiln bowl, which was simply a treasure in his heart. He could not get enough of looking at it. He had no time and energy to care about the quarrels between Shen Xinchen and Shen Yi that would occur almost every once in a while.
"How dare you tell my great-grandfather? Don't you think you look like a lady now? Xinluo is your cousin and a guest. What you said to her just now was extremely rude!"
It was a rare occasion that the old man didn't interfere in the dispute between father and daughter. Shen Yi took the opportunity to frown and scold Shen Xinchen angrily.
"You're talking nonsense! What cousin guest? Don't think I don't know that she's just an adopted daughter. Also, why should I be polite to her? Do you know that if it weren't for her, I would already be sitting in the salon, getting ready for my blind date tonight."
Shen Xinchen's words finally caught Shen Yi's attention.
He frowned and asked, "You want to go on a blind date? Who?"
He didn't even know that his daughter was going on a blind date, and he didn't get any information from Shu Hui.
Apparently, his wife didn't even know about it.
"With Lu Yuchen, the patriarch of the Lu family. I met his family at the last blind date party in City A. His family was very satisfied with me, so he invited me to have dinner tonight."
In order to show off in front of Xinluo, Shen Xinchen deliberately exaggerated the facts.
Sure enough, she saw the adopted daughter's hand holding the gift box tremble.
"Hey, be careful..." Although Mr. Shen is old, he is quick-eyed and quick-handed at this moment.
He took the gift box steadily and placed it on the table. "These collections are priceless. My great-grandfather has seen them and preliminarily determined that they are all authentic. However, I still need to put on gloves to feel them again. Wait a minute."
The old man seemed to have not heard the quarrel among the young people at all, and was completely immersed in antiques.
The Shen family started out as a smuggler, so the old man has handled many antiques.
His appreciation ability is much higher than that of the experts outside.
He was about to get up when he suddenly stopped and turned back.
When Shen Xinchen saw him looking at him, he immediately smiled, "Great-grandfather."
"Yes." The old man nodded, and then said: "Xinchen, you should go out first. You are chattering here and disturbing me and your cousin Xinluo from appreciating the treasures."
