337 Superior Skills
Her proficiency had successfully turned unveiling paintings into an admirable art, and Gu Man was the most charming.
Although time pa.s.sed very slowly, no one felt bored, nor did anyone look impatient. They watched Gu Man’s every move quietly, their hearts tempted by her actions.
Xiang Yin’s pupils flickered slightly. His gaze landed on Gu Man the entire time without shifting.
He suddenly took a deep breath and realized that at some point, his heart was beating uncontrollably. Gu Man seemed to be the only one left in his world.
Gu Man’s slender fingers held the silver tool. The tool was clipped to a corner of the rice paper and she gently picked it up. The paper obediently left without any hesitation.
In Gu Man’s hand, the rice paper was especially obedient and there was no damage as they had imagined.
At this point, if they still could not tell that Gu Man’s painting unveiling skills were superb, they would be really ignorant.
Elder Zhou’s face was pale. Although he was a little indignant, his gaze landed on Gu Man.
Although his character was bad, he especially liked calligraphy and painting. He especially knew that the most important thing about uncovering paintings was slow and detailed work. However, not only was Gu Man skilled, but her movements were also extremely fast. She was completely different from the unveiling workers he usually saw.
It could even be said that Gu Man’s unveiling was a performance and not a mission.
Even though he did not like Gu Man at first, Elder Zhou had to admit that her skills were superb. He was even attracted by her every move.
He had never realized the charm of uncovering paintings and only felt that this skill was especially boring. Now, he realized that it was not that uncovering paintings was boring, but that those people were too boring.
As the rice paper on the surface was removed, there was still a layer inside. It was obvious that this painting had traces of being unveiled.
Because there was only light ink in the middle, and according to the strength of the original painting, it should have seeped into the paper.
This discovery made everyone’s hearts skip a beat. When they thought about how stupid their doubts were just now, they could not help but blush.
The Manager’s pupils kept trembling. He looked at the painting in disbelief. It had clearly been appraised by the experts of the auction. Why was this still happening?
Those gray-haired old men who stroked their beards all day could not compare to a high school student?
Apart from being surprised, he was also terrified. Now that the truth was clear, could he really keep this job?
No, even if the painting was unveiled, it was possible that the painting had been divided into several parts. It was just that they had not found the rest. It could not prove the authenticity of the painting.
Gu Man, the person involved in unveiling the painting, was also a little stunned when she saw the rice paper in the middle. She had forgotten that in order to prevent others from mistaking it, she had even thought of removing the original rice paper and adding a brand new piece of rice paper.
However, too much time had pa.s.sed, causing the rice paper to be stained with some light ink.
This way, even if others believed that this was w.a.n.g Zhi’s painting, it would greatly reduce the original value of the painting. At the very least, they would not lose too much.
Only then did she realize that she could only remember some of the memories she had gradually forgotten when she came into contact with the items she had touched.
Gu Man shook her head. She was not affected by this sudden discovery. Instead, she continued what she was doing.
She unveiled two more pieces of rice paper. Black words appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, gradually pushing the matter to the climax.
The truth was right in front of them. It was unbelievable, but they had no choice but to believe it.
When Gu Man saw the black words, she heaved a sigh of relief. She straightened up and made way so that everyone could see.
“This painting is just a show of admiration for w.a.n.g Zhi.”
The word “Man” was left below.
When she saw the word “Man”, Gu Man’s heart skipped a beat. She reached out to subconsciously touch the word, but just as she was about to touch it, she suddenly retracted her hand.
Her expression gradually became complicated. She felt that there was something she had forgotten in the depths of her memory, but she could not remember it now.
