C381 The Truth Is Clear
Yang Huailin looked at Cao Huan with a faint smile.
"This Cao Huan is pretending to be ignorant. If he doesn't tell us the truth today, I will definitely fight him to the bitter end." Yang Huailin calculated.
"Old Yang, today is my 70th birthday, you purposely came to make me unhappy, right? I definitely won't follow your wishes, I'm not even going to draw."
"If you want to have a drink with me, I'll welcome you, but if you come here and do something, don't blame me for not taking into account our many years of friendship and getting you out of here."
Cao Huan coldly snorted.
The two of them had been friends for decades. Naturally, Cao Huan would not really kick Yang Huailin out. He would only say some harsh words to scare him.
However, he didn't expect Yang Huailin to not take this at all.
"You old thing, you still want to hide it from everyone even now, right? Fine, I'll let everyone know the truth today."
The people who came to congratulate Cao Huan's birthday were all looking at each other. They didn't understand what was going on.
"Old Yang, shut up. I knew it wouldn't be good if you came."
Cao Huan glared at him, and his children quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Father, don't be angry. Today is your birthday! Don't lose your temper over such a small matter."
"Elder Yang, you too, how many years have you been friends with my father? Today is his birthday, don't be angry at him, I'll arrange a seat for you now."
Cao Huan's eldest son, Cao Zhong, came over and said to Yang Huailin.
But Yang Huailin didn't appreciate the gesture and waved his hand.
"Cao Zhong, don't worry about what happened today. Your dad is an old guy. I've known him for so many years, but I don't know what he's planning. Since he won't say it, then I'll say it for him."
"Old Yang, shut up."
Cao Huan tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The birthday present that Jiang Feng's family gave to your old man today was personally verified by me. I can use my reputation as the guarantor that the picture was created by Tang Yinn. He copied the painting and it can't be wrong.
Who was Tang Yinn? He was a generational scholar, and now he was out of the market, and he knew several paintings. Which one didn't sell for millions, and most importantly, they were priceless. No matter how much money you spent, no one would be willing to sell it to you, and it could be said that it was something all collectors dreamed of.
However, what surprised everyone even more was that it was still far behind them.
"As far as I know, the real Longevity Diagram is still in Justin's home abroad. That's why the other Longevity Diagram that appeared today is a fake."
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. No one had expected the painting that Lin Zhixiang had spent over 12 million on to be a fake. What was even funnier was that Jiang Feng's imitation of Tang Yinn had only cost over 2 million.
Lin Hao looked at Yang Huailin in disbelief. He didn't believe what Yang Huailin said.
"Master Yang, what you said is absolutely impossible true. The painting of the mountain that we gave to the old man was bought by Xiao Jin. Everyone should know that the item in Xiao Jin's hand is 100% genuine. He's been in the circle for so many years just because of his reputation, so how could he possibly sell me a fake?"
"Besides, I also found out that this map of the mountain was indeed retrieved from a collector abroad. How could it possibly be a fake?" "Master Yang, you can't talk nonsense."
Yang Huailin gave Lin Hao a disdainful look.
"What did you say Little Gold's hand is based on, reputation?" "Stop joking around here. Let me tell you, Xiao Jin has already been arrested by the relevant authorities for selling fake antiques. If you still don't believe me, you can ask your family's old man. I believe he saw through it a long time ago."
"If you still don't believe me, you can have your family's old man take out the two paintings and I'll appraise them for you."
Yang Huailin said with determination. As an appraiser, of course he would dare to say such words. Otherwise, all these years of fighting and rolling around would have been wasted.
"Alright, since you've already said so, then take out the two paintings and appraise them on the spot."
Lin Hao agreed immediately.
"Father, just listen to Master Yang. Take out the two paintings and let him appraise them on the spot. I don't believe that the Longevity Painting our family bought would be a fake."
Cao Huan shook his head at Lin Hao, not agreeing.
The reason why he accepted the two paintings was because Jiang Feng had made it clear that the painting in his hand was a copy of Tang Yinn.
But what Lin Zhixiang gave himself was the original, and there was no conflict at all. He took both paintings, and the others would not discuss whether they were real or fake. After all, they were family, and Cao Huan could not stand to see the family in such a state.
But if it was identified on the spot, the picture of the mountain that the Lin Hao family had given him would definitely be seen as a fake by this old thing, Yang Huailin, because even he himself would be able to tell that it was a fake.
"Father, what do you mean? Are you afraid that the painting I bought is a fake?"
Lin Hao asked, the others also had the same thought.
Cao Huan sighed, knowing that he could not hide it, he said, "The picture of the mountain that the Cao Lin family sent over was actually Tang Yinn's work. I have no doubt that the painting that Lin Zhixiang gave me was indeed a fake."
"Impossible, father, this is absolutely impossible. How could the painting we bought be a fake?"
Lin Hao couldn't believe it.
"Your map of the mountain is fake. I wasn't sure before that it was an excellent imitation, even if it's just a fake one, it's still worth collecting. And you guys might not have paid much attention to this kind of thing, but yesterday I saw Justin take out the map of the mountain to display on TV."
Lin Hao and the rest turned pale when they heard that.
When they thought about how they mocked Jiang Feng and the others that they took a fake earlier, everyone's gazes were as sharp as knives on their faces, causing them to feel extremely embarrassed.
Cao Lin was in a good mood, and Cao Huan had called her family over to the main table.
"Old Yang, are you satisfied now? Forcefully forcing me to say what I wanted to say. Now you're happy, it's your wish."
Cao Huan glared at Yang Huailin.
Cao Lan's family, on the other hand, couldn't say a word after learning the truth. She had painted 12 million yuan before buying a fake. Although the old man said that it was a fake, it still had a hidden value.
"That's enough, don't just stand there. Come and drink two cups with me on the table."
Although Cao Huan was angry at Yang Huailin, the two of them had been in a relationship for decades. This sort of thing did not affect their relationship at all.
The main table was for the same generation as Cao Huan. Only the people Cao Huan highly valued would have the chance to sit at the main table. However, Cao Lin's family was currently being called to the main table, making her other siblings very unhappy.
