Chapter 150: Will You Accept It?

The cold intent in Bao Mu's eyes was unmistakable—if she didn't get to the bottom of this matter right now and make Bao Sihan understand clearly, she would never allow such a woman to marry into the Bo Family and become her daughter-in-law...

There would be even more trouble down the line!

Even if they had gotten their marriage certificate, there was still room to set things right!

Bao Mu said icily, "If today you had only sent a gift bought from some street stall, as long as it was sincere enough, I would have accepted it, and been grateful, and remembered it in my heart."

"But her... whoever wants this gift can have it; in any case, I don't have the qualifications to accept it."

Someone nearby chimed in, "Who knows how angry the eminent monk Daoyuan will be when he hears someone has been using his name to swindle and deceive!"

Bao Sihan swept a sharp glance over, and that person immediately shut up.

Bao Sihan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Mother, I can confirm that Yan Yan would never do anything fraudulent, so the Daoyuan monk's Buddhist Beads she gave you must have been personally consecrated by her."

"Hmph, you believe everything she says no matter what, but I don't! I'm not that easy to fool!"

The others around them all watched the confrontation with complicated thoughts.

At this moment, they didn't dare to insert themselves into the war between mother and son; besides, they actually shared the same view, believing Gu Wenyan's behavior was utterly excessive.

Gu Wenyan had actually presented a fake set of Buddhist Beads in front of so many people—if word got back to the eminent monk Daoyuan later, the Bo Family would be affected by it!

Some even felt that this Eldest Miss of the Gu Family was far too thoughtless, and far too vain!

Gu Yeting and Gu Yechen, also present, had faces that had already chilled to the extreme. Hearing Bao Sihan's mother's words, Gu Yeting said coldly, "Mrs. Bo, the children of our Gu Family have never stooped to fraud. If you don't believe the gift she sent you was given in sincerity, then I don't think you have the qualifications to accept it either! It would be a disservice to her intentions!"

Bao Mu's face changed abruptly. "How dare you! On what grounds do you say that? Everyone knows the eminent monk Daoyuan is not seeing outsiders this year—how could Gu Wenyan have gotten his Consecrated Buddhist Beads!"

Gu Yeting was not intimidated in the slightest. "Since you don't believe it, then it seems our Gu Family and your Bo Family simply have no fate..."

He turned his head, seething with anger. "Wen Yan, come away with your brother. Don't ever come back again—we won't allow ourselves to be looked down on like this!"

Even Gu Yechen nodded. "Exactly. I believe in the authenticity of this gift. Since Mrs. Bo looks down on it so much, there's no need to give it to her anymore!"

Seeing the situation grow even more tense, bristling with hostility on all sides, Gu Wenyan smiled instead. "It's fine. Let me handle this."

She also turned to look at Bao Sihan. "Alright, stop arguing with your mother. This problem is actually very easy to solve; it's not that complicated."

She knew exactly what these people were thinking right now, and she knew who, among those present, most wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

But no matter what thoughts they harbored at this moment, they were all about to be thoroughly disappointed...

Because she would never let anyone get a handle on her so easily!

"Auntie, and all of you—the reason you believe the Consecrated Buddhist Beads I presented are not from the eminent monk Daoyuan is that he announced to the outside world he would not be seeing visitors this year."

Gu Wenyan gave a light laugh. "What if I could move the eminent monk Daoyuan to act without even needing to visit in person?"

Gu Mianmian could not hold back any longer. "Sister, you'd better stop talking... How could that possibly be? I also believe you must be telling the truth, but maybe you used some other method—tell everyone, and they might believe you..."

Gu Wenyan couldn't be bothered to deal with her. Instead, her gaze fixed on those who doubted her—they would soon learn, once the truth was revealed, just how foolish they had been.

People in this world would never believe in something they had never seen.

"Today, besides the Buddhist Beads personally consecrated by Daoyuan, I have also brought a piece of Calligraphy personally written by the eminent monk Daoyuan, as a congratulatory gift for you, Auntie."

Hearing this, the people around began to waver, feeling conflicted. Could Gu Wenyan... actually be telling the truth?

If it was the eminent monk Daoyuan's Calligraphy, the truth could be seen at a single glance!

Especially his Seal—very few people could imitate it perfectly; even a forgery could never be completely lifelike.

Just as everyone was finding it hard to believe, Gu Wenyan had already taken out the Calligraphy hidden in the box, and the crowd discovered...

Gu Wenyan had actually casually folded the so-called Calligraphy of the eminent monk Daoyuan. They could not help but sigh—should this thing turn out to be real, it would be an absolute travesty!

While they were still wrestling with their thoughts, Gu Wenyan had already walked up to Bao Mu and unfolded the Calligraphy in her hands.

With this thing, there was no need for any explanation; the truth would come to light.

All the guests could not help crowding around, wanting to see whether the Calligraphy she spoke of was real or fake.

The moment it was displayed before everyone, someone exclaimed, "This seems to be real??"

There was only a single character on the scroll: "Still."

But the way this "Still" character was written was very much in the eminent monk Daoyuan's own style—something others could not imitate even if they tried, possessing a reserved and weighty depth!

And there was also the eminent monk Daoyuan's Seal...

The expressions on the surrounding guests' faces changed dramatically once again. People began to murmur, "Is this real or fake? I feel like... it does actually look pretty real."

"If it's fake, the forgery techniques would have to be incredibly skilled—and wouldn't she be afraid the eminent monk Daoyuan would find out and come after her?"

"Exactly, maybe she wasn't lying—perhaps she really does have that kind of ability?"

"If Gu Wenyan could get the eminent monk Daoyuan to write this Calligraphy, it means the eminent monk Daoyuan was willing to give her face? That's unbelievable!"

Many people still found it impossible to believe.

At this point in the discussion, they truly did not know whether they should accept the situation.

Even if they wanted to doubt it, they could no longer find a reason to do so.

This lie would actually be very easy to expose—all it would take was for someone to take the matter back to the eminent monk Daoyuan and ask him, and the truth would be known.

Gu Wenyan should... not have dared to be so brazen, right?

But getting them to believe all this was actually true was equally difficult.

Gu Wenyan curved her lips and said lightly, "Whether these Buddhist Beads are real or fake, I don't need to emphasize it any further, do I?"

"You are Si Han's mother, and in the future you'll be my mother-in-law. I respect you—I wouldn't lie, and I certainly wouldn't produce a fake."

Bao Sihan looked at her intently, the dark emotions in his eyes surging. He understood perfectly that everything Gu Wenyan was doing right now was for his sake.

She didn't want to affect his relationship with his mother.

"Yan Yan."

Bao Sihan's Adam's apple moved, his voice low and hoarse. "Your intentions toward my mother—she will come to understand."

Gu Wenyan nodded, smiling brightly as she looked at Bao Mu. "Will you accept this gift?"
