"Brat, what are you talking about?" The owner of the antique shop was so angry that he glared at Tom and scolded him rudely.
The tomboy "Calo" also frowned and looked at Tom with doubt and displeasure.
She was from a rich family, and she also dabbled in calligraphy. In her opinion, this pair of Yong Zheng's calligraphy was real without any trace of copying or falsifying. However, this man said it was a fake. In a sense, didn't he hit her in the face?
Faced with so many murderous eyes, Tom was not flustered at all. He walked over leisurely with a smile. "Nonsense? You guys are really bold. The cost is only twenty or thirty thousand dollars, while you dare to bid four million dollars, which can cost you to stay in jail for many years."
The owner of the antique store was even angrier, and a guilty look flashed in his eyes. He said harshly, "You're crazy. I think you're here to cause trouble. Is it someone in the same profession who's jealous that I can earn more than a million dollars with a pair of calligraphy?"
It had to be said that the owner of this antique store reacted very quickly. He immediately slandered Tom as an envious rival who came to bring trouble.
The tomboy also nodded secretly, believing in this possibility. When Tom saw her reaction, he was a little speechless. What intelligence was it? The guy couldn't even tell such a simple trick. It was so easy for him to be tricked by the boss.
At this moment, a voice broke out in the crowd. "I know him! He's the marilocal son-in-law of the Scott Family. He's very famous in H City. Why did he come here?"
"Yeah? What's he famous for? Why haven't I heard of him?"
"A aamous loser. Hahaha, you're not a local, so you don't know him that well. He's famous in our place. Many people know him."
"Haha, it suddenly occur to me that his wife is very beautiful, right? He is indeed quite famous. I heard that he has no ability at all and has been living off a woman in the Scott Family. He really embarrasses us men!"
"That's right. It's better to die than to be a man like him."
"Didn't he stay at the Scott Family? Why did he come out?"
Someone recognized Tom, and all kinds of sarcasms came out one after another.
"Live-in son-in-law?" The tomboy Calo was a little surprised and looked at Tom with even more contempt. She hated men who didn't want to make progress the most in her life. A man who was willing to live off a woman was definitely a loser.
Tom didn't feel anything about it. It wasn't that he didn't have dignity, but that he was used to it. He was misunderstood too much but he didn't care to explain.
When the owner of the antique shop heard the comments, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the man was just a live-in son-in-law, not to be afraid.
"So you're just a fool. Go wherever you want. Don't disturb my business!" Said the owner of the antique shop.
Two tall clerks were about to come and kick Tom out.
The owner of the antique store said to the tomboy, "Calo, this man is a lunatic. Don't talk to him. Now you can swipe your card. I'll help you wrap it up myself. I promise your father-in-law will like this calligraphy."
The tomboy took back the bank card, and now she could see some clues. Obviously, the owner of the antique store was a little anxious. Although she could not tell whether the calligraphy was real or not, she could still tell that the owner of the antique store looked strange.
"Don't worry, just listen to him." The tomboy said to Tom, "Why do you think it is a fake?"
The owner of the antique store's face slightly darkened. He looked at the middle-aged man and saw the haze in his eyes. He already hated Tom.
"Well, then tell me why it is fake. If you can't explain then you're slandering me. Don't blame me for being rude to you!" The owner of the antique store sneered threateningly.
Tom smiled gently. In front of so many people, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he was full of confidence. His calmness made the tomboy wonder. Was this temperament really from a loser and live-in son-in-law?
"Can you show me Yong Zheng's calligraphy?" Tom said to the tomboy with a smile.
