With the applause, many people looked at Gu Zhiluo who was standing on the side.

The host took the opportunity to say a few words of applause, and invited Gu Zhiluo to speak on stage, Gu Zhiluo also knew everyone's urgent mood, and only said a few words modestly, and announced the start of the auction.

At the beginning, the auction was a collection of paintings donated by others, and Gu Zhiluo's collection of paintings was the finale because of their very valuable value.

Although the price of these paintings in front of them is not low, they are not enough to see compared to the famous paintings in the finale.

For these paintings, those celebrities and real estate predators are not eye-catching, and only some people who are not so wealthy are holding up signs and asking for prices.

These people also know that they can't grab these people, so they don't covet the finale auction items, and they are ready to get some gains from the previous auction items.

After several rounds of auctions, the finale of the collection of paintings is finally long overdue. The auctioneer carefully turned on the lights and displayed the first famous painting of the auction in front of everyone.

The audience suddenly let out a lot of discussions, and some people even came forward to observe the famous paintings up close.

The auction process went smoothly and the first few paintings were sold at high prices.

Gu Zhiluo couldn't help but smile on his face as he watched the auction go smoothly, but at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the venue: "This painting is fake!" ”

This sentence stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, and immediately set off an uproar in the venue.

"The famous paintings in the auction are fake?" Everyone in the venue discussed, "Impossible, Mr. Gu Zhiluo is a famous collector of calligraphy and painting, how could he do such a thing?" ”

The person who spoke stood up, it turned out to be a middle-aged man wearing glasses, he pointed to a white-bearded old man beside him and said: "I don't believe you ask, this person next to me is a calligraphy and painting appraisal expert from Beijing, how can the professional opinion he issued be wrong!" ”

The white-bearded old man also stood up tremblingly, holding his reading glasses, and said slowly: "According to the old man's opinion, this is indeed a fake painting, but the person who imitated it is of a high level, enough to confuse the real with the fake, and ordinary people can't see it." ”

Gu Zhiluo hurriedly walked over and picked up the painting, this painting was indeed one of his collections, he remembered it very clearly, because he often took out the collection of paintings to admire and rub, so he knew every detail of these paintings.

Gu Zhiluo remembered that on the painting in front of him, because he was careless, he left a very shallow fingerprint on the painting scroll, which could not be seen without looking carefully, because it was only left on the painting scroll, it did not affect the quality of the painting.

Gu Zhiluo closed the painting and looked for the fingerprints he left on the scroll, but was shocked to find that the scroll was white and clean, and there was no stain at all.

"No, it can't be! How is this possible?! Gu Zhiluo was stunned and muttered to himself.

The middle-aged man with glasses didn't care what he was saying, and shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "You see, the experts from Beijing have said that this painting is fake!" Held a charity auction, and actually used high imitation paintings to fake, what kind of charity does such a character do! ”

After speaking, I don't know if he did it on purpose, and he added fuel and vinegar and said: "You guys also take a look at your own paintings, don't spend a lot of money and shoot a fake painting back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the venue immediately became chaotic, and the people who had just held up the cards and photographed the paintings all took out their paintings in a panic, and asked the appraiser to re-appraise them, and even some people were very sure when they took the pictures just now, but now the more they look at their paintings, the more they look like fakes, and they also begin to shout that the organizers will lose money.

Encountering such a thing, the host and the auctioneer were at a loss, and hurriedly set their eyes on Gu Zhiluo.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhiluo was still stunned and looked at the fake painting in his hand, still looking incredulous, and did not react to the surrounding environment at all.

Assistant Zhao, who had been observing the environment in the corner, also panicked when he saw that the matter was revealed, looked around and saw that no one noticed her, bit her lip, and quickly slipped away from the safe passage.

A few hours later, when Gu Zhiluo's friend Chen Ran got the news and drove to the venue, he saw Gu Zhiluo with a dirty face.

He was originally in a suit and leather shoes, but at the moment he looked depressed, his clothes were torn, and his hair was messy.

This is still Gu Zhiluo forcibly escorted out of the angry crowd by bodyguards, and the people in the venue who feel that they have been deceived are still shouting for the organizer to lose money, and Gu Zhiluo's gallery staff are still there to scramble to clean up the aftermath.

Gu Zhiluo hung his head and got into Chen Ran's car, Chen Ran saw him so depressed, although he had a stomach full of questions, he didn't dare to ask.

After a long while, Gu Zhiluo said in a low voice: "I have them all registered, and then I will ask the appraiser to re-appraise it, if it is a fake painting, the auction money will be returned to them truthfully." ”

Chen Ran shrugged his shoulders in the front seat: "What's the matter, wasn't it good at first?" ”

Gu Zhiluo said dejectedly: "Among the paintings I sold, several of them were found to be fake paintings. ”

"Really?" Chen Ran was a little unconvinced, he and Gu Zhiluo had known each other for many years, so he naturally knew each other's character, "How did you collect fake paintings?" I've always believed in your vision, and those appraiser friends of yours haven't seen it? ”

"I didn't have a fake painting." Gu Zhiluo shook his head, as his mood gradually recovered, his reason slowly returned to his mind, "That painting is not my painting, it should have been dropped by someone." ”

Chen Ran, who was in the front seat, was so surprised that his mouth grew up, and he said for a long time: "You can't be mistaken, right?" Did your enemy deliberately hire a fake expert to hack you and ruin your reputation? ”

Gu Zhiluo shook his head and denied this possibility: "I remember every detail of my paintings very clearly, this kind of thing is not something that people who love collecting will not understand." ”

Chen Ran twisted the steering wheel, and the car turned a corner: "Okay, I don't understand you collectors, don't think about that, let's go drink and be happy." ”

How could Gu Zhiluo be happy? Just now, because of a few fake paintings that popped out of nowhere, his reputation for many years was ruined, not only ruined, but even the charity auction originally held out of kindness to help poor mountainous areas was said by others to be a "show" and "generous to others, using the money from the sale of fake goods to borrow flowers to offer Buddha".

Gu Zhiluo sighed, Chen Ran shook his head when he saw him like this, and poured another glass of wine into his wine glass.

As the saying goes, getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, and now Gu Zhiluo is holding such a mentality, he drank very little wine in the past, but today he poured it down one by one, just hoping to get himself drunk quickly and forget about these troubles.

The two of them sat in a food stall on the street, with plates of side dishes and barbecue on the table like other people who came for supper, which made the two of them invisible to others.

Chen Ran knew that Gu Zhiluo didn't want to go to those high-end occasions now, a scandal like this would definitely spread throughout the entire circle in less than an hour, and then go to those high-end occasions, in case he met an acquaintance, would he still be able to get by with this face? At that time, Gu Zhiluo will definitely be stimulated even more.

The two drank wine for several hours, during which Chen Ran patiently comforted him many times, but Gu Zhiluo remained silent, and he didn't know if he listened.

It wasn't until he drank the last bottle of wine that Chen Ran saw Gu Zhiluo's face flushed, and he was afraid that it would not be good for his health to drink it again, so he hurriedly told him not to drink: "You have drunk enough, drink again, your son knows that he must come over and beat me?" I'll call a taxi and take you home. ”

Gu Zhiluo was drunk on the table, and muttered in his mouth: "What go home, don't go home......

Chen Ran looked at him, shook his head, got up and went into the store to check out.

Gu Zhiluo shook his head, trying to sober himself up, but his thoughts were already confused: Hey, what about Chen Ran? Why is it gone?

"This guy actually left me first." He muttered, his hand groping on the table, and touched Chen Ran's car key, "Then I'll go home by myself, go home, Hiccup!" ”

He staggered to his feet and walked to the side of the road, opened the door with his car keys, and sat inside.

Because he was drunk like this, he still remembered which car Chen Ran was.

A drunk person, although outsiders think he is drunk, he himself thinks he is very sober, at this moment, Gu Zhiluo is like this, he even thinks that he can drive home soberly.

So, he started the car and slowly drove onto the main road.

After a long while, Chen Ran came out of the store. Just now, because of the matter of *, he quarreled with the little sister at the cashier for a long time, and the little girl at the cashier finally reluctantly opened * for him.

Chen Ran stood at the dining table and wiped his face, what about Gu Zhiluo? Why is it gone, is it that I am also drunk?

Chen Ran scratched his head, just now in order to accompany Gu Zhiluo to relieve his sorrows, he also drank a lot.

And when he was standing at the door of the store in a daze, Gu Zhiluo on the other side was driving a car on the road, driving fast.

The cool night breeze blew across his cheeks, making his body temperature rise from drinking feel a slight coolness, which was very comfortable.

Naturally, there was a loud whistle sound, and other vehicles on the road avoided it.

In Gu Zhiluo's mind that was confused by drunkenness, he felt like a skilled racing driver, shuttling forward like a fish in water in the sea of cars.

Seeing that there was a corner ahead of him that could take advantage of the overtaking, Gu Zhiluo stepped on the accelerator, and the car accelerated violently, but unexpectedly, a big mud car suddenly burst out from the corner, and both sides couldn't avoid it, Gu Zhiluo had to watch the huge front of the car continue to enlarge and magnify in front of him......

In the Gu family's villa, Liu Shan had just come back from playing mahjong with her girlfriends.

She lost a lot of money this night, and she was not in a very good mood, as soon as she entered the door and saw Lin Weiwei slowly sweeping the floor in the living room, she couldn't help but be angry: "What's the matter with you, do you sweep the floor like this?" ”

Lin was slightly frightened and shrunk his shoulders, and muttered in a low voice: "Sweeping the floor is still so particular......"

Although her voice was small, she was heard by Liu Shan, and she was even more angry: "Waving the broom like you lightly, all the dust will be lifted into the air for you, it's better not to sweep it!" I can't do a little thing well, and I want to be the daughter-in-law of our family, but we don't have such a useless daughter-in-law in our family! ”

Lin was poked in the sore spot slightly, and a sense of resentment spontaneously arose in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and force himself to think about the large sum of money he could get after selling the famous painting, so that his mood was not so bad.

Seeing Lin Weiwei's unrepentant appearance, Liu Shan was about to reprimand again, when suddenly the mobile phone rang, so she had to glare at Lin Weiwei and pick up the phone: "Hey? I'm Liu Shan, may I ask ...... you are?"

Suddenly, her handbag fell to the ground with a snap: "What did you say?!" ”
