“What? How’s that possible?” a rich young master immediately asked in disbelief.
“What a joke. Who doesn’t know how to make up lies? I was just about to say that Master Xuan Jing lives next door.” Another young master laughed, causing the others to laugh.
“None of Master Xuan Jings paintings are the same, and each one’s a unique authentic piece. If she can say that Second Young Master Yan’s painting is a fake based on a single difference, then I can also say that the one in her hands is a fake even if she really has one.” Suspicion and ridicule toward Bai Lin were everywhere.
Bai Lin turned a deaf ear to these voices, as if she did not care at all.
Yan Yuan was stunned. He did not expect Bai Lin to say such words.
“Hahaha…” Yan Yuan laughed a few times before he began to speak. “Miss Bai, if you really want to say that, I can’t be so polite anymore. First, you didn’t bring the painting here. Second, you don’t have any evidence to prove that your painting isn’t fake. It’s hard to convince the public.”
Bai Lin also smiled, but her questions were all true.
“Since you all know that there are no two paintings of Master Xuan Jing that are the same, and that every one of them is a unique painting, don’t you think that it’s strange that these two paintings look exactly the same and only the items in the hands of the child have been replaced? Was Xuan Jing really so bored that he drew two identical paintings at once? Can’t he just use one painting to make a screen?”
Suddenly, the direction of the discussion in the hall changed.
A few young masters from rich families gathered together and whispered.
“It’s indeed a little strange. I’ve never heard of Master Xuan Jing drawing the same painting twice.”
“But there’s Master Xuan Jings seal on it. Could it be fake as well?”
“l heard that Master Xuan Jing himself doesn’t have a seal because he feels that a seal would ruin the beauty of the painting.”
They only dared to discuss in a low voice. After all, they could not afford to offend Yan Yuan.
There were many people who thought like them, and their doubts toward Yan Yuan suddenly became common.
How could Yan Yuan not hear it?
His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he would swallow Bai Lin alive in the next second.
It was true that he did not buy it personally from Master Xuan Jing. There was a middleman who mediated the entire process. This middleman had once bought Master Xuan Jings authentic work, and he was extremely trustworthy.
He did not believe that the painting that he had spent so much money to buy was fake. Even if this painting was really fake, who would doubt it? Who would dare to question him, the Second Young Master Yan?
In the end, it was Bai Lin who was deliberately going against him!
Now, it did not matter whether the painting was genuine or not. His pride had already been crushed to the ground!
At this moment, the old housekeeper of the Yan family’s main residence suddenly came to Elder Mrs. Yan’s side and said, “Elder Mrs. Yan, there’s a man outside who calls himself Xuan Jing. He says he’s been invited to come here for a visit.’
“Oh my god, it’s Master Xuan Jing himself? How could it be so coincidental? The truth will definitely be revealed!” someone exclaimed.
The sentence was acknowledged. After all, everyone at the banquet wanted to know if Yan Yuan’s painting was personally drawn by Xuan Jing. The battle between Yan Yuan and Bai Lin, or rather, the battle between Yan Yuan and Yan Ruo, had become the focus of everyone’s attention.
However, someone caught the main point. “Invited? Second Young Master Yan’s the only one who brought Xuan Jings painting here, so he must have been the one who invited him! Bai Lin is in for it now. If Second Young Master’s painting is fake, how would he dare to invite Master Xuan Jing to the event?”
Immediately, someone echoed, “That’s right! It’s going to be fun this time.
That Bai Lin has really become a clown. Let’s wait for her apology.”
Bai Lin furrowed her brows slightly. However, no one other than Yan Ruo noticed her small movements.
“Hurry and invite him in!” Elder Mrs. Yan’s face lit up with joy. She did not expect that Xuan Jing would come in person, and she was truly elated.
After all, it was already very rare to be able to buy Master Xuan Jings paintings and seeing him in person was something that even money could not buy.
Yan Yuan curled the corners of his mouth up, looking as if he had already won. This time, he could really watch someone be the joke.
He did not believe that Bai Lin had the ability to make Master Xuan Jing stand on her side.
When Master Xuan Jing finally admitted that the painting was real, he would like to see how Bai Lin was going to clean up this mess. When the time came, he would definitely pin Bai Lin to the ground and humiliate her.. Even if he could not get back his pride, he could at least vent his anger!
