Chapter 43: Obsession Becomes a Demon

Seeing that Tang Xin agreed to accept the five million yuan, Chen Yunhan felt that she had finally completed the task assigned by Shi Xiaolin, and she was very happy, and said with a smile: "That's right! Sister Lin said that her tens of millions are actually equivalent to what you gave her, which not only helped her get rid of the dilemma of being collected by others, but also made her rich overnight and achieved financial freedom." In this sense, even if half is given to you, it is not too much. ”

Tang Xin waved his hand and said: "Sister Lin's words are too much, no matter how you say it, those antiques, calligraphy and paintings and jadeite are Sister Lin's own, I just found out the value for her, I think five million yuan is too much, and half of it is even more unusual." ”

Chen Yunhan raised his eyes to look at him and said in an expectant tone: "Tang Xin, go to my house for dinner tomorrow night, okay? My father is also an antique collector, and he has a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings at home. In order to buy things that are hard to distinguish between real and fake, he almost used up my family's savings.

"I often reminded him that most of his collection was probably fake, but he just wouldn't listen and angrily scolded me for not pretending to understand. For this reason, my mother is going to divorce him. But he insisted that he just didn't want to sell the family's collections, and once he did, it would definitely be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

"My mom and I feel he's a little obsessed, so I'd like to ask you to come to my house and look at the collection and see if it's genuine. If it's all fakes, you remind my dad so that he doesn't fall for it again. If there is a very valuable collection in it, please tell us so that my mother and I can have a bottom in our hearts. ”

Tang Xin didn't expect the optimistic and cheerful Chen Yunhan to have such troubles at home, so he asked curiously: "What does your dad do? Why is he obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting?"

Chen Yunhan said a little depressedly: "He is a professor of the history department of Northwest Normal University, he served as the head of the history department in his forties, and has led more than a dozen master's and doctoral students. However, from the age of 50, he suddenly became obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting, and often told my mother that a certain colleague became a billionaire by engaging in antiques, and that a certain student opened a shop in Hengjiang Antique City, earning tens of millions of yuan a year......

"My mother is from the Fine Arts Department of Northwest Normal University, and she is also interested in antique calligraphy and painting, so I didn't oppose him at that time. In the following years, my father began to buy antique calligraphy and paintings everywhere, and even put down his professorship and went to the countryside to shovel land himself. At that time, my family had millions of dollars in savings, so many antique shop owners, antiquities dealers, and land shovelers came to my dad and sold him things.

"Although my dad has a high academic literacy, but in the identification of antique calligraphy and painting, he is a typical layman, only theoretical knowledge, without any practical experience, but he is very confident in his own identification of antique calligraphy and painting technology, and his temper is also very strong, as long as he believes that it is a genuine thing, no one can persuade him not to live, he will definitely buy it home to collect.

Therefore, in less than five years, he has spent more than 5 million yuan on these collections, not only has his family's savings been exhausted, but he also owes some debts to relatives and friends. My mother advised him not to buy any more things, and to sell them as soon as he could, and to pay off the family's debts first. So, he took a few pieces of the collection that he thought were more valuable to sell, hoping to get some money to come back and pay off his debts. Unexpectedly, others are not willing to bid at all. When asked why, a friend bluntly told him that his collection was a fake and worthless. People don't make an offer, in fact, they want to save some face for him.

"My dad was very angry and scolded those people for being blind and illiterate, and offended his friends. From then on, if my mother persuaded him to sell his collection, he would quarrel with my mother, saying that his things were treasures and treasures, and he would never sell them unless he met someone who knew the goods. What worries and worries my mom and I even more is that since I became obsessed with collecting, my dad voluntarily resigned from his position as head of the department, and rarely delved into academics, and even did not publish a single paper in the last two or three years. If he continues like this, it will ruin his reputation. ”

Tang Xin asked: "Do you mean that I want to go and appraise the collection for your father, and then persuade him to stop collecting in time?"

"Yes. ”

"However, your father is so confident and stubborn, even if I identify the authenticity of those collections, he will not believe it, and maybe he will scold me for being blind!"

For example, you can use your special ability to tell him where each piece came from, where and how it was made if it was a fake. As long as you are clear and specific, he should believe you. ”

Tang Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it at your house tomorrow." ”

Chen Yunhan stood up and said, "Then I'll drive over tomorrow to pick you up." To be honest, if I don't pull my dad out of his obsession, my old BMW will have to be sold to pay off the debt, so you must do me a favor. ”

After Chen Yunhan left, Tang Xin lay down on the bed and began to think about how to tell the master about paying off his debts tomorrow and how to reconcile with Huang Min......

At eight o'clock the next morning, as soon as the clerk hired by Su Mingxuan arrived at the store, Tang Xin left the "Yazang Xuan" and went straight to the direction of Gu Xinzhai.

At this time, at the door of Gu Xinzhai, Dai Xiaojun and Huang Min were standing face to face, talking.

When Huang Min returned to the store last night, she locked herself in the back bedroom and cried all night, so at the moment her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was a little messy, and she looked extremely haggard.

"Minmin, why is your face so ugly?Your eyes are swollen, did you quarrel with your father?" Dai Xiaojun asked in a concerned tone.

As soon as Huang Min opened the door of the store, he was stopped by Dai Xiaojun at the door and said that he wanted to discuss things with her, and his heart was extremely irritable. She didn't have a good impression of Dai Xiaojun, but yesterday she learned the truth that he conspired with her father to drive away Tang Xin, and she was even more disgusted with him in her heart.

Therefore, when Dai Xiaojun asked her why her face was so ugly, she said angrily: "Is my face so good-looking, what does it matter to you?"

Dai Xiaojun smiled and said, "Minmin, don't I care about you? We are about to get engaged, you are now my girlfriend, isn't it normal to show concern for you?"

Huang Min spat on the ground and said hatefully: "Dai Xiaojun, you traitorous villain, I am disgusted when I see you, and you still expect me to be engaged to you? Let me be honest: Even if all the men in this world die, I will not marry a poisonous ghost like you." ”

At this time, Huang Zhixin came out of it, and when he heard Huang Min's words, he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and shouted: "Xiao Min, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you agree to get engaged to Xiao Dai? How can you treat your boyfriend like this?"

After scolding his daughter, he said to Dai Xiaojun with a smile: "Xiao Dai, don't worry about her." She had a quarrel with me last night, and she was not happy, so she poured her anger on you. What she said just now is all angry words, don't take it to heart!"
