After the rebirth became popular in the entertainment circle, the scumbags regretted it

Chapter 58 This is a fake

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

"mom!"

The man had just come back from outside. He was wearing a straight handmade gray wool suit, his tie was tied meticulously, his hair was carefully taken care of, his features were deep and handsome, and his face was full of concern for his mother.

It's Gu Changming.

Mingdai...oh no, she is Gu Lingsi's brother and the eldest son of Gu Qi and Wei Yin.

His appearance gave Wei Yin some emotional support, and he immediately grabbed his son's sleeve like a complaining child:

"My painting! David Hall's painting is damaged! It's all because of her! I bought it from a friend in country F for five million!"

"I understand, please don't worry."

This reassurance is very useful.

Wei Yin had a backbone, and she, who had been a little out of control, regained her composure, put on the shoes that she accidentally threw out, straightened her messy hair, and returned to her original state.

When Gu Changming turned towards Ming Dai, the warmth on his face had quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold and distant look covered by politeness.

There is not even a trace of the tenderness left in me when I casually gave an umbrella to Mingdai that day.

He definitely doesn't remember her.

Ming Dai was not surprised by this. Gu Changming was always a very protective person.

In front of outsiders, he is cold and arrogant, and will not put his emotions in any unworthy place.

In front of his family, he is an outstanding eldest son, a gentle and tolerant brother, and a perfect family member.

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

In her previous life, Ming Dai had ridiculously chased these illusory things. In the end, facts proved her wrong, so she had already taken a dim view of them.

Now she was looking directly at Gu Changming, her mood was very complicated, but she didn't feel any yearning for it.

Putting down the fingers pressing her temples, Mingdai straightened her back, neither humble nor overbearing:

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

Not a question, but a sarcasm.

Gu Changming heard it.

"I'm sorry, my mother lost some control over her emotions because she lost her beloved painting. Are you the guest Lingsi invited today?"

"yes."

"Then it seems that you are just a high school student." After a pause, he said in a tolerant and generous tone, "Although this painting is very precious, because of your young age, we will not argue with you..."

"Changming!" Wei Yin interrupted angrily.

Mingdai looked at mother and son: "It seems that you have not reached a consensus."

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

The word "sure enough" actually came to Mingdai's heart, and she was filled with emotion that she couldn't express.

But her silence fell in Gu Changming's eyes, and he mistakenly thought that Ming Dai was hesitating.

Then he emphasized his tone: "Just now, classmate, I listened to the conversation between you and my mother. I don't know what profession your parents are engaged in, so they neglected to discipline you, but I want five million in exchange for your apology.

If so, it’s not too much.”

Ming Dai twitched the corner of her mouth.

Why do you always bring up tutoring issues so aggressively? It’s not clear who will be blamed in the end.

Unfortunately, the glasses obscured the amusement in Mingdai's eyes, so Gu Changming missed this meaningful look.

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

Mingdai raised her hand and pushed her temples: "I choose between apologizing and making compensation...paying compensation."

She sighed quietly in her heart, feeling like fate was playing tricks on people.

"oh?"

Gu Changming was extremely surprised.

He thought he had made a mistake. The little girl in front of him, whose body cost less than a thousand dollars, was actually a rich girl who had hidden her wealth.

Who would have thought that Mingdai’s next sentence would be:

"This is an oil painting. It should be repaired by professionals. I will pay for the repair. Is one thousand yuan enough?"

"Are you crazy?"

Wei Yin looked at Mingdai as if she was crazy, and didn't understand why his precious daughter would associate with such a person.

Gu Changming was afraid that his mother would lose her temper again, so he quickly interrupted:

"Sorry, classmate, you may have misunderstandings about oil painting repair. Although this canvas can indeed be repaired, the price of repairing such a famous painting is far more than a thousand yuan."

"yes."

Mingdai actually nodded in agreement,

"If it is a work by David Hall, and foreign experts are invited to repair it, the price will start at least 200,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit. But it is not a fake painting. I would be very generous to pay 1,000 yuan."

As for the extra money, she didn't want to give it a cent.

Gu Changming was a little annoyed.

Suddenly I understood why a well-educated mother would be so angry that she jumped up and down.

This little girl, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses and bangs on the pot lid, looked at her blankly, and when she spoke, she was unexpectedly irritating.

"Classmate, I know that five million is an unbearable astronomical figure for you, but it doesn't allow you to slander other people's things at will, right? Do you think you can avoid punishment by throwing dirty water? You are too naive! It seems

, I can only contact your parents and teachers."

"You should have stopped talking nonsense to her a long time ago."

Wei Yin folded his arms and said dissatisfied.

Ming Dai funnyly reminded: "Compared to my parents and teachers, I think it is better to contact a professional appraiser. Oh, of course, before the appraiser comes, I can put forward my basis - as far as I know, David Hall

I have a habit of leaving my unique cursive signature on the lower right corner of my works, but this painting in front of me doesn’t seem to have it.”

Wei Yin heard this and disagreed.

"Of course I know David Hall's habits, but this does not determine authenticity! Except for the signature, this work is in line with the authenticity in terms of style, technique, etc. You would think that with a little cleverness you can turn the authenticity into a fake

of?"

As he spoke, he ruffled his hair mockingly,

"I'm really crazy, saying this to a person who knows nothing about you. Changming, please call Lingsi first. After all, he is her classmate."

"Um."

It seemed that Gu Changming didn't intend to talk to Ming Dai anymore.

As for Ming Dai, she was not at all panicked as mother and son thought, but was calm and composed.

This incident also happened in my previous life——

It was Ming Dai who initially raised doubts, feeling that this painting was somewhat different from other David Hall works collected by Wein.

Wein scoffed after hearing this: 'Do you know David Hall?'

Mingdai didn't dare to say anything to her.

Within two months, Wei Yin invited people to his home. A lady who owned an art gallery pointed out some doubts about the painting. Wei Yin became suspicious and quietly hired an appraiser.

The results proved that Mingdai's doubts were correct. Wei Yin asked a friend to buy this painting, thinking that the missing painting was actually a fake, a skillfully crafted fake.

It's a pity that no one praised Mingdai.

Wei Yin was so angry that he scratched the painting on the spot. He was deeply ashamed and ordered his family not to mention it again.
