C380 Argumentative Painting
"Mom, the person I said just now to buy the painting from Jiang Feng was him."
Cao Lin was once again shocked by Wang Rou's words.
"You mean that Master Yang was willing to pay a high price for the painting?"
Wang Rou nodded.
"Could it be that the paintings Jiang Feng bought are really the same as what he said?"
"There shouldn't be any mistake. Yang Huailin is famous for being an appraiser. If he wants to buy a painting, then it must be true."
Cao Lin muttered in her heart. Then, her face lit up as she glanced at Cao Lan.
At this moment, Cao Lan's heart was in turmoil.
"If everything's really as Wang Rou said, then wouldn't the map she bought herself with a high price be a fake one?"
12 million RMB just to buy a pair of counterfeit goods? Cao Lan became more and more shocked the more she thought about it.
Lin Zhixiang saw Cao Lan's worry.
Mom, don't worry, the painting we bought is definitely the real one, so there's no way it could be wrong. Don't worry, didn't Jiang Feng say that his picture of the mountain of longevity was a copy of Tang Yinn's work?
Although Lin Zhixiang was trying to comfort Cao Lan, he felt the same discomfort in his heart. He had spent more than 12 million, but Jiang Feng had only spent more than 2 million. How could he keep his balance?
Although Lin Zhixiang was displeased, he did not express it. If the Jiang Feng family were to see it, it would really be a joke.
Cao Xuemao, who had been sitting there without saying anything, said to Yang Huailin in disdain.
"Master Yang, you still don't know right? Lin Zhixiang bought the real picture of the mountain, and the map in Jiang Feng's hand is just a fake. There's nothing much to see."
Hearing Cao Xuemao speak up for her, Cao Lan's face softened a little.
"What do you know, you know? I personally appraised the picture of the mountain in Jiang Feng's hand and it definitely can't be a fake. That is the real deal. How could Tang Yinn's real work become a fake in your mouth?"
Yang Huailin looked at Cao Xuemao unhappily.
"The Longevity Map has already been given to grandpa as a birthday present. If Master Yang doesn't believe it and still wants to see it, he can ask grandpa." Cao Xuemao replied in dissatisfaction.
Now, watching his old friend come to congratulate him, Cao Huan got out of his seat and walked over to Yang Huailin.
"You old thing, you're actually able to remember my birthday. This is truly rare. Come, let's go have a drink."
Cao Huan invited Yang Huailin to the main table, but Yang Huailin refused.
"Old Cao, I heard that you have two pictures of the mountain, one real and one fake. You also know what I do, I wonder if you can take them out for me to look at?"
Cao Huan shook his head.
"You old thing, the things you've set your eyes on are definitely not good, moreover, the two images of the mountain of longevity were both given to me by children, I like both of them, whether they are real or fake, you should come with me for a drink, as for those two pictures, you can forget about them."
"Grandfather, since everyone says that the painting I gave you is fake, why don't you give me back my fake painting? I'll prepare another birthday present for you, and also satisfy Master Yang's wish." Jiang Feng said to Cao Huan with a smile.
Cao Huan glared at them, his expression ugly, but he did not say anything. He had long seen through the authenticity of the two images.
The one that Jiang Feng gave was indeed a copy of Tang Yinn. Although it was a copy, it was his real work and its value was not lower than the original. It was even better than the original. Of course, he couldn't return it to Jiang Feng.
At that time, he didn't point it out, but even if he saved some face for both families, no one would know. But now, Jiang Feng wanted him to return the painting to him, so it was naturally impossible.
"Grandpa, you should just return the fake painting Jiang Feng gave him. It's not something valuable. It would be bad for your eyes if it was left in your study. Why not return it to him and satisfy Master Yang's wish?"
Luo Hongxia also tried to persuade Cao Huan.
"Father, Hong Xia is right. You already have the real thing, why would you care about a fake? Besides, you have been friends with Master Yang for so many years, it's not worth it to hurt your relationship for a fake."
Cao Lan had wanted to say this a long time ago. She took advantage of this opportunity to say it out loud.
Cao Huan glared at Jiang Feng again.
"This kid definitely knows that he has already seen through the authenticity of the two paintings and purposely set up a trap for me to hand over and destroy his own stage."
Cao Huan cursed Jiang Feng in his heart, but he was also dissatisfied with Cao Lan and her family. He did his best to help conceal his anger. The other party was actually still so stubborn in wanting to see the painting.
But now he had to take care of Yang Huailin, not let him know, making things difficult for Cao Huan.
"Old Yang, let's not dwell on this matter. Isn't it just a painting? You've been working on it for so many years, yet you haven't seen any antiques, and you don't even need one or two of mine. It's all the child's filial piety, how can we tell if it's true or false? "
"It won't be easy for you to come to me this time. The two of us must enjoy ourselves to the fullest today."
Cao Huan was going to pull Yang Huailin over for a drink, but Yang Huailin knew better.
Everyone present thought that the painting Jiang Feng took was a fake. As a predecessor in the Treasure Industry, and having examined Jiang Feng's painting, it definitely couldn't be a fake, so he had to correct his name.
Otherwise, if his peers found out, wouldn't that be a joke?
In the business of appraising treasures, the most important thing was reputation. Yang Huailin had been an appraiser for many years, but he had never made a mistake in everything he had done. That was why his reputation in the industry was so high, and there were so many people willing to ask him for an appraisal.
Yang Huailin had to help Jiang Feng get the painting back and tell them, in front of everyone, that Jiang Feng's map of the mountain was not a forgery.
Old Cao, it's just a fake. Seeing how nervous you are, I can't fight over it with you. The child already said it, so return the fake to him.
Cao Huan swung his arms.
"No, how can I take back the things I gave out? Plus, I already said, I like all of them, whether they are real or fake, Jiang Feng, you don't need to prepare any other birthday present, I want your map of the mountain, and even if you give me the rest, I won't accept it."
The relatives and guests in the hall all looked at Cao Huan. He looked like the head of the family, like a child protecting his beloved toy.
Old Cao, are you still being reasonable? He thinks that the thing he gave you is bad and wants to give you another one. Why are you still not willing?
"No, I won't return it. I won't return it no matter what. I already said it, I like it. I just like it. I don't like anything else."
Cao Huan and Yang Huailin were suddenly at loggerheads, and the people in the hall were puzzled, wondering why they thought a forgery was so unpleasant.
