Chapter 356: The Evidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’ve heard that the second master of the Yan family has always prepared amazing birthday gifts for the Elder Mrs. Yan. Many of them are priceless treasures. It’s truly a worthwhile trip to see the real work of Master Xuan
When Bai Lin heard the discussion, she immediately perked up.
Authentic work? Master Xuan Jings?
She looked up at the screen that Yan Yuan showed. After only two glances, she
sneered, “What authentic work? The one he brought up?”
The surrounding people looked over and saw that it was the young lady who had just presented the Song Dynasty porcelain.
Originally, everyone was surprised that she could bring such a birthday gift. They all admitted that Bai Lin’s birthday gift was rare, but what did she mean by this?
Could it be that she felt that the painting that Second Master Yan brought was not the authentic painting by Xuan Jing?
“Don’t talk nonsense. With Second Master Yan’s status, why’d he use a fake one to make up the gift?!” someone immediately questioned Bai Lin.
Bai Lin found his words funny. She swallowed a small mouthful of beef and replied without a care, “There’s no definite connection between a person’s status and whether they’ll buy a fake. I just feel that what he showed isn’t the real deal.’
Yan Ruo saw that Bai Lin had finished the meat in her mouth and immediately placed a piece of cut steak in front of her.
There was no reason for Bai Lin not to eat the meat when it was placed in front of her mouth. She took the piece of meat in one bite.
As she chewed, she felt something was wrong. Why did it seem like Yan Ruo was feeding her?!
“Hmph, what can a woman know? She’s just spouting nonsense because Fourth Young Master dotes on her.” A rich young master saw that Bai Lin was being fed by Yan Ruo and guessed that she was his sugar baby. After all, there were countless people who kept celebrities as their sugar babies in their circle.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze directed at the back of his head.
Yan Ruo was still holding the knife that was used to cut the steak. It was obviously not lethal, but the tip of the knife was flashing with a cold light, as if the rich young master’s blood would immediately splatter on the spot. “Should I dote on you if I don’t dote on her?” Yan Ruo coldly said.
The few of them did not dare to speak.
“Second Young Master, did you really buy this painting from Xuan Jing?” Bai Lin suddenly raised her voice.
Bai Lin’s voice was raised a lot, so many people around them heard her. The small confrontation immediately spread in scale.
“Bai Lin can’t be thinking that she can put on air just because she bought a real piece of porcelain from the Song Dynasty, can she? What makes her think that she can question the Yan family?” someone ridiculed Bai Lin immediately.
A senior executive from the Yan family’s company immediately chimed in, “She actually dares to suspect that the painting Second Young Niaster brought is fake? I didn’t believe it when others said that she likes to attract attention,
but now it seems like it’s most likely true. It’s ridiculous to suspect that the birthday gift from Elder Mrs. Yan’s grandson is fake.”
Yan Yuan’s back was facing Elder Mrs. Yan as he looked down at Bai Lin with a gloomy expression.
This woman had not even entered the Yan family yet, and she already dared to embarra.s.s him in front of so many people. She even dared to say such arrogant words at a banquet like this. She really deserved to die!
Yan Yuan’s eyes were filled with hatred, but he did not show it. Instead, he said in a gentle tone, “Miss Bai, do you have any knowledge of Master Xuan Jings paintings? If you doubt the authenticity of this painting, I hope you can produce the evidence, Miss Bai.”
It was easy to show the evidence.
Bai Lin walked to the screen and pointed.
Yan Yuan grabbed Bai Lin’s wrist and said coldly, “Miss Bai, you have to think carefully. If you’re wrong, I won’t let you off just by apologizing.”
Bai Lin sneered in her heart.
In reality, she did not care who gave Elder Mrs. Yan what. Whether it was real or fake, what did it have to do with her? Xuan Jings paintings had many counterfeits circulating in the market. Even if she had a close relationship with Xuan Jing, she would not catch those counterfeits one by one and reveal them to the public.
Xuan Jing himself did not even care about being copied, so why should she care?
However, Bai Lin had a very distinct characteristic, and that was that she was protective of her own people.
Yan Yuan had just ridiculed and belittled Yan Ruo. This was something she could not stand.
“Then, what if I’m not mistaken?”
