Chapter 1405 Mu Lao
"Are you sure?"
Mr. Zhou didn't pay attention to the man's outburst, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "That's not what your Grandpa Mu heard."
"Huh?"
The young man was stunned.
Then his heart started beating wildly.
What's the meaning?
Why is Grandpa Mu involved again?
"Where is the wood carving that Grandpa Mu gave you?"
Zhou Lai changed the question again, "It's the wood carving I gave you on your birthday before."
The young man swallowed hard.
I want to suppress my heart that is almost jumping out of my throat.
"Wood carving."
Mr. Zhou looked at him quietly.
The young man couldn't help but clasping his hands tightly together, and he opened his mouth as if he got some support from this.
".At home."
The Zhou family does not live in the antique shop, but has another residence.
It's only ten minutes away from the antique shop.
"Bring it here."
Mr. Zhou's tone was a little more relaxed.
If the wood carving is really what the child said, it will be at home
Then, what Lao Mumu heard were just rumors, and his children did not do anything so extreme
"What are you still standing for?"
Seeing that his son was motionless in front of him, Mr. Zhou urged, "Hurry up and get the wood carving from home."
".Why?"
The young man's nails dug into the back of his hand, "What a troublesome thing."
"Take it when I tell you."
“Where do so many come from and why?”
Mr. Zhou's face darkened, "Hurry up."
"."
The young man lowered his head and remained silent.
In this situation, he no longer knew what to do.
"You're not going, are you?"
Mr. Zhou was about to get up, "I'll go."
"Where do you put it?"
"Is it in your house?"
"Dad!"
"Old Zhou."
The young man and Mu Lao spoke out almost at the same time.
The young man glanced at Mu Lao.
Mu Lao also looked at the young man.
For some reason, the young man subconsciously looked away.
"Old Zhou, don't waste your efforts."
Regarding Mr. Zhou's unwillingness to give up, Mr. Mu sighed in his heart.
He had remained silent before, allowing the father and son to communicate.
However, Lao Zhou was really too late.
Xiao Zhou's performance was obviously obvious.
It's not that he doesn't understand Lao Zhou's mood.
But the other party must also understand his eagerness to confirm the truth, and the most important wood carving must be returned as soon as possible.
The longer time passes, the more uncontrollable factors become.
And he doesn't like surprises.
"The wood carving is not at home at all, is it?"
Mu Lao waved his hand to interrupt the young man's answer, "Listen to me first."
"Do you know why I'm here?"
"Because someone told me"
"That's just the way it is."
"Now let me ask you, is everything he said true?"
"Did you really sell my wood carvings and then charge a sky-high price by claiming they were made by masters from the Qing Dynasty?"
The price of Gumuxuan's wood carvings is not low.
After all, they were all carved by the old man's own hands, spending a lot of time and energy.
However, it only depends on the size and the value of the material, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan.
There are tens of thousands.
Those are large parts, or they are carved from more precious wood materials.
After all, his shop is not well-known enough, and no customers will come to him with precious wood materials.
No matter which one, it is a rare order to receive.
Xiao Zhou resold his wood carvings for 500,000 yuan, which was really a sky-high price for him.
"I-" The young man subconsciously wanted to explain.
"Tell the truth."
Mr. Zhou interrupted his young son's words with a serious look on his face, "Don't add to your mistakes."
"I didn't!"
How could the young man admit it?
He didn't know what Mu Lao's purpose was.
If he was asked to spend the money from selling wood carvings, he would have spent almost all of it.
Where can I get him so much money?
Besides, this wooden carving was given to him, so it’s up to him to decide what to do with it.
"Alas~"
Mu Lao sighed,
"Xiao Zhou."
He looked at the young man in front of him and said, "If you just resell the wood carving I gave you, although I would be angry because it was my birthday gift to you after all, I wouldn't say anything more."
< br>
"I won't come here today."
"After all, just like you said, I also know that everything is given to you, and you are free to do with it what you want."
"It doesn't matter if you keep it well, or if you want to resell it."
"It's up to you."
"But-"
The old man paused and clenched his hands into fists, "You shouldn't lie to others and say this is the work of a Qing Dynasty woodcarving master."
"You are destroying my reputation and the reputation of Gumuxuan!"
The old man became excited.
"Old man."
The old lady patted Mu Lao's hand gently.
"Others don't know-"
The young man shut his mouth.
He really just argued subconsciously.
But, it's too late.
"Others don't know that I made the wood carving, right?"
Mu Lao took over the young man's unfinished words and seemed to want to laugh, but he couldn't, causing the expression on his face to become somewhat distorted.
"Zhouzhou, you."
Mr. Zhou felt mixed emotions.
It's actually true? !
This kid actually did such a thing?
How could he? !
"No."
The young man also wanted to argue, "I am thinking from the standpoint of an ordinary person."
"It's not that I did it"
"If you tell someone else about this, his reaction will be similar to mine."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Mu Lao shook his head and did not pay attention to the man's excuse.
Instead, he continued speaking.
"There is no airtight wall in the world."
"Nothing can be hidden forever."
"Why am I here today?"
"Someone discovered the wood carving you sold to others, took a photo and told me."
"You tell that person that the wood carvings are the work of masters from the Qing Dynasty."
"How do you know that there is no one around him who really knows the goods?"
"How do you know that he never discovered that the wood carvings he spent a lot of money to buy were not the works of Qing Dynasty masters at all?"
"Five hundred thousand."
"I don't know how rich your buyer is."
“However, even if they don’t care about the money, most people don’t like to be deceived.”
"When the time comes, he will find you."
"It will also anger Gumuxuan."
"The wood carvings were made by me, from Gumuxuan."
"Even if you explain to him that this is just your own behavior, will he believe it? What will he think of Gumuxuan?"
"He will feel that Gu Muxuan is an accomplice."
"He will feel that Gumuxuan is not a regular store."
"He will feel that Gu Muxuan might be doing these deceptive things in private."
"Once there is a flaw in reputation, it is difficult to make up for it."
“Whether it’s a person or a store.”
ps: Thank you Xiao Transparent and -Wangchuan- for the reward (*︶*)!
