Seeing the old master in tears, everyone was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to console him.
Cheng Su stood there at a loss, her face showing some apprehension. She had hesitated, fearing the old master might be overcome with emotion, and now it seemed her worry was justified.
"Old Master, I..." Cheng Su wanted to take the porcelain figure back.
"What's the matter?" Old Master Cheng turned his face away, wiped the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "You child, once a gift is given, you can't take it back, you know?"
"But..."
Old Master Cheng laughed, "It's alright, it's alright. As I get older, my emotions get shallower. This gift is wonderful, truly wonderful. I'm very pleased and fond of it. Su Girl, you're very thoughtful!"
"Dad, you really scared everyone for a moment. Look at little Su, she's scared to the point of tears, thinking you were upset with her." Cheng Yaozong stepped forward.
