Chapter 58: It's a Fake

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, someone walked quickly to hold Wei Yin's shoulders and shouted disapprovingly:

"Mom!"

The man had just returned from outside, dressed in a crisp handmade grey wool suit, with a meticulously tied tie, well-groomed hair, deep contours, handsome eyebrows, and a face full of concern for his mother.

It's Gu Changming.

Ming Dai ...... Oh no, it's Gu Lingsi's elder brother, the eldest son of Gu Qi and Wei Yin.

His appearance made Wei Yin emotionally dependent, and immediately grabbed his son's sleeve like a child complaining:

"My paintings! David Hall's painting is broken! It's all because of her! I bought this for 5 million to a friend in country F!"

"I see, don't worry."

This reassurance is useful.

Wei Yin had a backbone, and she regained her composure, put on the shoes that she accidentally threw out, and combed her messy hair, and recovered as before.

When Gu Changming turned to face Ming Dai, the warmth on his face had quickly put away, replaced by indifference and alienation that was covered by politeness.

The gentleness of giving an umbrella to Ming Dai that day was not left at all.

He certainly didn't remember her.

Ming Dai is not surprised by this, Gu Changming is originally a person who is extremely protective of his shortcomings.

In front of outsiders, he is cold and arrogant and does not put his emotions in anything unworthy.

And in front of his family, he is an excellent eldest son, a gentle and tolerant brother, and a perfect family.

Of course, the premise of this family is the family recognized by Gu Changming - that is, Ming Dai is not included in this.

In her previous life, Ming Dai had chased these illusory things ridiculously, and in the end it turned out that she was wrong, so she had already looked down on it.

Now she is looking directly at Gu Changming, her mood is very complicated, but she has no admiration and yearning.

Putting down the fingers holding her temples, Ming Dai straightened her back, neither humble nor arrogant:

"Does Mr. Gu also think it's my fault?"

Not asking, but ridiculing.

Gu Changming heard it.

"I'm sorry, but my mother lost her beloved painting and lost her emotions a little out of control. Are you the guest that Lingsi has invited today?"

"Yes."

"Then you look like you're a high school student." After a pause, he turned to a tolerant and generous tone, "Although this painting is very precious, for the sake of your young age, we will not care about you......

"Changming!" Weyne interrupted him in a fit of rage.

Ming Dai looked at the mother and son, "It seems that you don't have a consensus."

Gu Changming smiled and skipped Wei Yin: "...... The premise is that you apologize to my mother."

Ming Dai unexpectedly had the word "sure enough" in her heart, and she couldn't say anything.

And her lack of speech fell in Gu Changming's eyes, mistakenly thinking that Ming Dai was considering and hesitating.

He accentuated his tone: "Just now, classmate, I listened to the conversation between you and my mother, I don't know what kind of profession your parents are engaged in, so they neglected to discipline you, but I want five million in exchange for your words of apology, which is not too much."

Mingdai tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Why do you always aggressively bring up the problem of tutoring? It's not necessarily who will be scolded in the end.

It's a pity that the glasses covered the banter in Ming Dai's eyes, so that Gu Changming missed this meaningful look.

Gu Changming: "Or do you want to compensate the five million?"

Ming Dai raised her hand and pushed her temples: "Apologize and lose money, I choose...... Lose money."

She sighed quietly in her heart, feeling that fate had made people.

"Oh?"

Gu Changming was extremely surprised.

He thought that he had looked away, and the little girl in front of him, who was no more than a thousand yuan, was actually a rich girl with a strong family background.

Who knew that Ming Dai's next sentence was:

"It's an oil painting, it should

You can ask a professional to repair it, and I will pay for the repair, is 1,000 yuan enough?"

"Are you crazy?"

Wei Yin looked at Ming Dai like a neuropath, and he didn't understand why his baby daughter would associate with such a person.

Gu Changming was afraid that his mother would lose his temper again, so he hurriedly interjected:

"I'm sorry, classmate, but you may have misunderstood the oil painting repair. Although it is true that this is a canvas that can be repaired, the price of this kind of famous painting repair is far more than 1,000 yuan."

"yes."

Ming Dai nodded in agreement,

"If it is David Hall's work, ask foreign experts to repair it, and the price starts at least 200,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit for the specifics. But it's not, a fake, I'll pay a thousand dollars."

As for the extra money, she didn't want to give any of it.

Gu Changming was a little annoyed.

Suddenly, I understood why a well-bred mother would be so angry that she jumped to her feet.

This little girl wearing black-framed glasses and bangs on the lid of the pot looks stupid, and when she speaks, she is unexpectedly angry.

"Classmate, I know that five million is an unbearable astronomical amount for you, but it won't make you slander other people's things at will, right? Do you think that by splashing dirty water, you will be exempt from punishment? That's naïve! It seems that I will have to contact your parents and teachers only."

"You shouldn't have been talking nonsense to her a long time ago."

Wei Yin hugged his arms and said dissatisfied.

Ming Dai reminded with a smile, "I think it's better to contact a professional appraiser than my parents and teachers. Oh, of course, before the appraiser comes, I can make my case – as far as I know, David Hall used to leave his own unique floral signature in the lower right corner of his work, but the painting in front of me doesn't seem to be."

Wei Yin listened and disagreed.

"Of course I know David Hall's habits, but that doesn't make the difference! In addition to the signature, this work is in line with the real thing in terms of style, technique, etc., do you think you can turn the real one into a fake with a little cleverness?"

As he spoke, he stroked his hair self-deprecatingly,

"I'm crazy to talk to you guys who don't know anything about this. Changming, let's call Lingsi first, after all, it's her classmate."

"Hmm."

Gu Changming didn't seem to plan to talk to Ming Dai more.

As for Ming Dai, there was no panic as the mother and son thought, but they were calm and relaxed.

This incident also happened in a previous life-

Initially, it was Mindai who questioned the difference, feeling that the painting was a little different from the other David Hall works in Wein's collection.

Wein scoffed, "You know David Hall?"

Ming Dai didn't dare to choke with her.

Within two months, Wei Yin invited people to his home as guests, and a lady who opened a gallery pointed out the suspicions of the painting.

The results confirmed that Ming Dai's suspicion was correct, and that the painting that Wei Yin had bought with a friend and thought was missing was actually a fake, a clever fake.

It's a pity that no one praises Mingda.

Wei Yin was so angry that he scratched the painting on the spot, and was deeply ashamed, and ordered the whole family not to mention the matter again.
