Chapter 108 I was ashamed and forced to apologize
No one expected that the painting that Luo Wanbai wanted to give to Mr. Cheng in front of everyone turned out to be a fake.
Although there is no expert appraisal, but following Nan Qiao's words to identify, everyone has the bottom line in all likelihood.
And Luo Wanbai also found out that Nan Qiao was just teasing her at that time, so he deliberately raised the price so high, and let himself spend ten million yuan in vain!
It's just that she naturally didn't dare to settle accounts with Nan Qiao in front of everyone, Luo Wan Bai could only keep it in her heart temporarily, and wait until later to settle accounts with Nan Qiao.
"Even so," Luo Wanbai forced himself to calm down, "What you said is just what you think, and these can't be considered as fakes at all."
Up until now, Luo Wanbai only felt that Nan Qiao was jealous of him, and thus confronted him like this, and he didn't feel at all that he made a mistake in the first place.
But Nan Qiao knows it well, not only Nan Qiao, but everyone here who has a little bit of research on Wenwan will know the authenticity of this painting.
"What I said is naturally not groundless."
Since Nan Qiao said that this painting is fake, it cannot be true.
"The reason why it is said to be a fake is because the real masterpiece of the painter has already been exhibited by the Xu Beihong Museum."
"If Ms. Luo didn't engage in some kind of illegal activities - this painting is certainly a fake."
Her tone was firm, and she threw out this decisive evidence.
This is not Nan Qiao's nonsense, but it is true. Anyone who likes this painting can know where the painting is now by asking around a little.
And Mr. Cheng looked at Nan Qiao's words about the painting, every sentence was accurate to the point, and there was a bit of appreciation in his gaze.
Now, he sees that this little girl from the Murong family is really pleasing to the eye.
It's a pity that my grandson may not be able to catch people's eyes.
Thinking of this, Old Master Cheng glared at Cheng Juan again.
Cheng Juan received his grandfather's gaze and touched his nose with his hand. He could only hold back a wry smile in his heart. He was so miserable that he couldn't express it.
Being rejected twice and three times and still pushing forward will only arouse Nan Qiao's resentment. He wants Nan Qiao to be with him, but the other party is not interested in him at all, let alone Murong Chen's sister-in-law Demons are around people, even if Cheng Juan wanted to find an opportunity, he couldn't do it.
It's just... Seeing Nan Qiao pointing out mistakes in an orderly manner, and seeing the beauty of the lights shining on people as if they were shining, Cheng Juan was still dazed.
If it was because of the old man's liking that he got close to him before, then from now on, Cheng Juan seems to have really taken an interest in Nan Qiao.
As soon as Nan Qiao's crackdown came out, Luo Wanbai stood there speechless.
Other uninformed people also suddenly realized, and finally understood the reason why Luo Wanbai's painting was a fake, and at the same time, there was a bit of disgust and disdain in the eyes that looked at people.
"Miss Luo mistook fish eyes for pearls, and it's no wonder my sister didn't remind me if I saw the wrong eyes."
When Murong Chen spoke at this time, Luo Wanbai was so choked that he didn't dare to refute.
"It's just that this feat of spending a lot of money without knowing anything is really amazing."
This sentence hits Luo Wanbai's pain point. If it's what Nan Qiao said just now, then wouldn't she have lost 20 million yuan?
It can even be said to be an insult to give fakes at Cheng Lao's birthday banquet.
Looking at Luo Wan's white and golden wavy curls and heavy makeup, and also dressed as a dignified lady, everyone felt that she was out of place, and she didn't come to the birthday banquet sincerely.
Didn't expect the Luo family to teach such a daughter. Knowing that Mr. Cheng likes traditional culture and loves antiques, he did such a disgusting thing.
"okay."
Everyone was discussing and arguing fiercely. Mr. Cheng finally spoke, his majestic eyes swept over everyone, and people fell silent unconsciously.
"This painting is indeed fake."
Once Cheng Lao opened his mouth, the truth was as sure as nails.
Now, Luo Wan Bai is completely over.
"I-"
Luo Wanbai's face turned pale. He didn't know that the real painting was already in the museum, and he didn't expect that even Mr. Cheng would help Nan Qiao speak, so he couldn't argue with it.
A middle-aged man beside her stood up slowly against the pressure, with an apologetic smile on his face, ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead, he just raised his wine glass and looked at Old Cheng. It was Luo Wanbai's father, Luo He.
"This matter is due to my poor upbringing. The little girl made a foolish joke. I hope you will forgive me."
A glass of wine was eaten immediately.
"Quickly apologize to the old man!"
When the words reached Luo Wan Bai, his tone was overwhelming.
Luo Wanbai pursed his lips tightly, feeling those eyes of contempt, disdain, and even disgust falling on him. Right now, he wanted to bury his head under the table so that no one could see it.
Not to mention wanting to please Mr. Cheng, now Luo Wanbai's appearance is a joke.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I didn't know it was a fake. It was not my wish to bring you a bad mood. I am willing to take responsibility for my mistakes."
Her voice was very low, and her heart was already in a mess.
But the way Cheng Lao spoke to Nan Qiao just now was still circling in Luo Wanbai's mind, which made her pay special attention.
I tried so hard but failed to get a look from Cheng Lao, but the other party easily got the old man's attention...
Luo He didn't expect his daughter to cause such a big trouble for him, he only felt that he scolded him lightly before, and now he wished he could take Luo Wanbai home and discipline him.
But more importantly, it was Cheng Lao.
Luo He's sincere apology and panic fell into Mr. Cheng's ears, but there was no expression on his face, and he couldn't see what was in his heart, which made Luo He's heart beat violently.
The entire banquet was silent for a while before hearing the old man speak.
"The juniors should still be disciplined."
"I want to celebrate my birthday, so I'd better take this gift home."
Hearing this, Luo He finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter was over, he quickly pulled Luo Wan Bai to sit down, not wanting to draw attention.
As for the fake, put it away directly to avoid embarrassment.
It's a pity that after today's incident, the Luo family's status has completely declined, and they have lost all face in the circle.
Not to mention the disrespect to Mr. Cheng, but also the eldest lady of the Murong family. Both the Cheng family and the Murong family are masters who cannot be messed with, and they are existences that everyone is vying to please. To be made such a fuss by Luo Wanbai is to be directly excluded from the circle.
When the birthday banquet is over, the Luo family may face numerous contract terminations.
But these are all things to say later, now that Luo Wanbai's oolong has been passed by, and under the instruction of Mr. Cheng, everyone also tacitly put this matter behind them.
Pressed by his father to sit back in his seat, Luo Wanbai sat there with cold hands and feet and was very flustered. He subconsciously looked at Cheng Juan, but just happened to see him looking at Nan Qiao.
Luo Wanbai didn't expect that he would be put on a par with others, and the old man's "special care" towards Nan Qiao made people feel even more uneasy. He didn't want to keep a low profile when he sat down now, instead he looked at Nan Qiao and started talking .
"Since Ms. Nan is so knowledgeable, the birthday gift must not be far behind, right?"
For those who can’t afford 20 million, what gifts can they prepare?
