Chapter 1407 Unexpected Development
The old man had a sullen face and showed no reaction.

man:……

He always thought he was quite eloquent, but at this moment, he had talked until his mouth was dry and the other party didn't react at all.

He began to wonder if the other person was too old and his hearing wasn't working well.

……

Mu Lao raised his eyes and glanced at the young man.

Before the young man could smile, the old man looked away and looked to his side.

He turned his head.

As friends for many years, Mr. Zhou naturally understood what Mr. Mu meant.

"I'll fight now."

Mr. Zhou directly pressed the dial button.

He was just hoping for a lucky break, so he stopped on purpose.

Sure enough, old wood is old wood.

Not at all humane.

His son begged him so.

……

“Beep~beep…”

The call was connected.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Mingbao's father."

Mr. Zhou first revealed his identity.

"Oh, hello."

The other party was obviously confused.

He knows Zhou Mingbao.

But why did Zhou Mingbao’s father call him?
"Sorry to bother you, this is what happened..."

Mr. Zhou explained the situation in detail to the person on the other end of the phone.

"…So, we're sorry, we'll return your money to you, and please return the wood carving to us."

……

The results were somewhat unexpected.

The other party said that he liked the wood carving very much and it didn’t matter even if it was not the work of a Qing Dynasty master, he wanted to keep the wood carving.

Mr. Zhou looked at Mr. Mu.

He turned on the speaker so that everyone in the room could hear what the other person was saying.

The corners of Mu Lao's mouth curled up slightly.

This person loves his work.

Even though he knew he had been cheated, he did not take his anger out on the wood carving and still liked it.

The old man felt very happy.

His bad mood, which had been since he heard that Xiao Zhou had passed off the birthday gift he had given him as a work of a Qing Dynasty master, had mostly recovered.

He nodded.

Indicate that you agree to the other party's request.

But, “you don’t need that much money.”

Mu Lao said, "It is not the work of a Qing Dynasty woodcarving master..."

He is not a famous woodcarver.

How could this wood sculpture cost half a million yuan?

Too much.

……

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but shook his head.

This old man has said that he wants to keep the wood carving, so you should take this opportunity to thank him, then exchange a few polite words and then hang up the phone.

That's how the matter ended.

Why are you still raising the issue of money?

Those who paid clearly did not mention the issue of money.

……

Xiao Zhou looked even more anxious.

He almost wanted to cover the microphone so that the other party would not hear what Mu Lao had just said.

He couldn't help but jump up and down.

What a great development it would have been.

There is another village in the dark.

Not only did the other party not care about being cheated, he was also willing to keep the wood sculpture and did not even mention returning the money.

Isn’t this great?
It's a happy ending straight out of a fairy tale.

Why……

The man covered his chest and instantly felt a suffocating feeling as if he was having a myocardial infarction.

Why did Grandpa Mu have to go to such great lengths?

If the customer really wants a refund, he would have asked for it himself. After all, five hundred thousand is not a small amount of money. Now he doesn't even mention it, what does that mean?
This shows that he has a lot of money and doesn’t care about the 500,000 yuan at all!
Why do you bother to remind others?

So the money wasn't paid by him, right?

……

There was silence on the phone for a while.

Obviously, the other party did not expect to hear such words.

Finally, both parties agreed to meet at Gumuxuan the next day.

It’s better to talk about money matters face to face.

...After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhou looked at Mr. Mu, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Mu Lao pretended not to see it.

He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"I'm sorry to interrupt your business."

"Old lady, let's go back to our shop."

"Hey."

The old lady stood up, took Mu Lao's hand, and slowly walked towards the store door.

……

Mr. Zhou took a few quick steps and opened the closed shop door.

There are fewer people at the door.

As the shop door opened, rustling sounds were heard.

"Hey, it's coming out, it's coming out."

"I wonder what the situation is?"

"Okay, no need to send me off."

Mu Lao ignored the whispers around him and turned to wave to Zhou Lao, "Let's go back."

"Hey, Old Wood, I'm really sorry about this."

"You guys walk slowly."

Mr. Zhou tilted his head and glared at his silent son, "Are you mute?"

"Say goodbye to Grandpa Mu and Grandma Tan."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Mu. Goodbye, Grandma Tan."

The young man's voice was a little weak.

In his heart, he still blamed Grandpa Mu for being too nosy.

Whether it was the two elders’ visit today, or Grandpa Mu’s insistence on getting the wood carving back, or Grandpa Mu’s honesty about the price of the wood carving, all of these made him dissatisfied.

He was feeling unhappy.

How could I have the mind to greet the "culprit"?
……

Mu Lao glanced at the young man, turned around and left without saying a word.

So is Grandma Tan.

……

Old Zhou glared at his son again.

The young man felt aggrieved and confused.

Didn't he say goodbye?

……

"You come in with me."

After the old couple Mu walked away, Mr. Zhou turned and walked towards the store.

The young man hesitated for a while, then followed in slowly with an unhappy look on his face, "Dad, my friend is still waiting for me."

"I told them at the time that I would be gone for a while..."

"Bang~"

Mr. Zhou slammed the table hard with an unpleasant look on his face.

The man shut up.

Isn't everything resolved? Why is his father still looking so grumpy?
He was also feeling depressed and was thinking of playing a game to vent his feelings.

He secretly hated himself for being so slow.

"What was your attitude just now, little brat?"

Mr. Zhou paused and scolded in a deep voice.

"What was my attitude just now?"

The young man looked confused.

What was his attitude just now?
"you-"

Old Zhou pointed at the young man's nose and said angrily, "You are still pretending to be innocent?"

"Are you secretly complaining that your grandfather Mu is meddling in other people's affairs?"

"how do you know?"

The young man asked.

Then the man's expression became a little sly, "Dad, are you also-"

"Shut up!"

Mr. Zhou slammed the table again.

The young man curled his lips.

Just shut up.

He doesn't want to talk yet.

Seeing his son's nonchalant look, Mr. Zhou rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Who couldn't tell from the look on your face just now that you had complaints in your heart?"

"You kid."

Mr. Zhou sighed.

"You know, if other people knew you did this, not only would you be in trouble, but our store would also be implicated."

Some things can't be made a big deal.

Because it's untenable.

"Even the decades-long friendship between you and Grandpa Mu could be ruined in an instant."
