"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this? Could it be that just because the painting you gave to the old man, you don't want us to gift it to you? " Cao Lin asked with a displeased expression.
Cao Lan looked at Cao Lin and chuckled, but did not say anything.
Lin Hao glanced at Cao Lin.
Lin Hao was also Live-in Son-in-law, but he had a strong voice in Cao Lan's house.
Lin Hao had once recommended a boyfriend to Cao Lin, the big client he wanted to work with, but Lili had ultimately chosen to marry Wang Guoqiang, which had led to Lin Hao's unsuccessful collaboration and had directly influenced his career. If Lili had married one of his big clients at the time, Lin Hao's position in Cao Family would have been even higher today, and he would have even been able to stand on equal footing with his second brother.
However, Cao Lin's actions made Lin Hao lose this opportunity, so for many years, Lin Hao had always resented Cao Lin's family.
"Cao Lin, the reminder just now was all for your own good. Don't bite off more than you can chew. You don't know how to appreciate a person's kindness." Lin Hao said sarcastically.
"Lin Hao, explain it to me clearly. Who are you calling a dog?"
Cao Lin pointed at Lin Hao. Initially, she could tell that Lin Hao wanted to use her to get the position of the next head. Furthermore, Cao Lin did not like the person whom Lin Hao had introduced to her, so she simply could not succeed.
"Cao Lin, I'm your brother-in-law, pointing it at me like that, isn't that too polite? Furthermore, my words have good intentions, because I have the real picture of the mountain in my hands and the map of the mountain in your hands is only a fake. Even if I were to take it, it would only make the old man angry."
"Now you know my good intentions."
Lin Hao looked like he was hurt, which made Cao Lin feel disgusted.
Lili took the map of the mountain from Lin Hao's hand and walked forward with the injured Lin Zhixiang. Before she left, she even looked at Cao Lin with a smug look, her eyes filled with disdain.
Looking at the injured Lin Zhixiang, Cao Huan had a face full of doubt.
"Grandson, how did you get that injury?"
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Look at the birthday present our family prepared for you."
Lin Zhixiang handed over the painting, but Cao Huan did not open it. He looked at Lin Zhixiang with a pained expression.
Cao Lan took advantage of this opportunity and cried with tears and mucus.
"Dad, you don't know, in order to prepare this birthday present for you, our family's Zhixiang prepared to go to Chu Prefecture. On the way back, he encountered a car accident, but luckily he didn't ruin the birthday present he prepared for you."
When Cao Huan heard this, he felt even more sorry for Lin Zhixiang.
"You guys are really considerate."
When the others in the hall heard Cao Lan's words, they all praised Lin Zhixiang's filial piety.
Luo Hongxia, who was sitting at the same table as Wang Rou, purposely watched Jiang Feng scold him.
"This person really can't be compared to others. Look at Lin Zhixiang, in order to prepare old man's birthday present, you have to put a lot of effort into it. Look at some people, not only did they make old man angry, they even used fake paintings to fool old man. They really don't have any conscience."
Wang Guoqiang, who was about to give his birthday present, was in a dilemma.
Lin Hao had said that the map in his hand was a fake, so how could he take it out? But now, other than the map, there was no other birthday present that he could take out. Wang Guoqiang was troubled.
Cao Lin was also complaining in her heart. These years, although she rarely went home, her father was still very good to her. She didn't want a fake painting to affect her image in her father's heart.
Looking at the troubled Wang Guoqiang, Cao Lin immediately vented all her anger on Jiang Feng.
"Jiang Feng, today is the old man's birthday, you actually dare to buy a fake painting as a birthday present? What are you planning? Did you mean to embarrass our family? There are so many people here, and they are all family members. How do you want me to face them in the future, and how do you want me to face the old man?"
"Jiang Feng, if the old man blames you today, then I'm not done with you."
Cao Lin said angrily.
"Mom, the picture of the mountain that Jiang Feng bought was not a fake. There was even a Master Yang who personally examined it and still wanted to buy it from Jiang Feng. But Jiang Feng wanted to give his grandpa a birthday present, so he didn't sell it to him. How could it be a fake?"
Wang Rou stood up to defend Jiang Feng.
Lin Hao just snorted disdainfully.
"Wang Rou, I think you're all a fan of the police. The Master you mentioned must have been hired by the owner of the antique shop to trick you laymen. You're still too young."
"I've suffered the same fate before. A child is still a child. Now that you have the real thing, if you want to deceive the old man with the fake in your hands, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
"Uncle, you have to take responsibility for your words. How can you be so sure that what you have in your hands is a real work and not a fake?"
"Furthermore, the Landscape Painting Jiang Feng bought was drawn by the great scholar Tang Yinn."
Wang Rou said confidently.
However, to Lin Hao, these words were like a joke.
Lin Hao's tears almost fell out of his eyes.
"I say, Xiao Rou, you have truly opened my eyes. Who doesn't know about Tang Yinn's painting, but who has heard of Tang Yinn's painting of the Longevity Map? You guys, you've been tricked, but you don't know."
Cao Lin's expression turned ugly as she glared at Jiang Feng.
"How am I going to deal with you if you wait for me to come home? It's not enough, it's more than enough."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare another birthday present."
Cao Lin shouted to Wang Guoqiang.
Wang Guoqiang was about to leave and prepare his birthday present, but Cao Lan stopped him.
Father, Cao Lin's family also prepared a birthday present for you. It's also a map of the mountain, but they didn't know that we had already bought the real picture of the mountain, and now that they have a fake one in their hands, they actually want to trick you.
Cao Lan said proudly to Cao Huan.
She and Cao Lin were both Cao Huan's daughters at the same time. Although the two of them were not going to deal with each other, they could only privately fight and did not dare to do anything to Cao Lin brazenly, but Cao Huan was different. As long as he said the word, then Cao Lin in Cao Family would really be nothing.
Upon hearing Cao Lan's words, everyone looked at Cao Lin, as well as a few outsiders who were celebrating Cao Huan's birthday. They all pointed at Cao Lin and started to talk about her.
"All of you shut up. Your own family members are all fighting each other. What sort of manners do they have? All they know is to lose face for me."
Cao Huan said with a displeased expression and a serious tone.
He also didn't want to make a mistake over a painting, a life-threatening incident, or an antique. Even the most experienced expert would make a mistake sometimes. Furthermore, there were outsiders present as well, so he couldn't let them see a joke.
Wang Guoqiang sat back in his seat.
"Dad, we haven't even given you our birthday presents, why did you sit down?"
Jiang Feng said without a care.
"Jiang Feng, didn't you hear what Aunt Lan said just now?" The painting in your hands is a fake, you really have the nerve to do that? "
"Do you still want a little face?"
Luo Hongxia mocked him with a confident tone, thinking that Jiang Feng's painting was a fake.
