Gu Wei Wei opened the door and bringing along her suitcase, she followed Fu Shi Qin downstairs. downstairs, an old man approximately 70 years old was having a conversation with Fu Han Zheng and the others.
"Old man Ming, on the way here I believed assistant Xu has already told you the reason why we invited you here for. Could you please check the authenticity of this Pauline's panting?"
"Pauline's painting?" Ming Zong Yuan was surprised. While talking, he took his reading glasses and put it on. "There are only a few of Pauline's painting's left outside right now, how did you guys managed find it?"
"We bought it at the underground auction house." Fu Han Zheng pointed his finger at the painting on the table. "You are an expert on Pauline's paintings, so could you please check it?"
Mr. Min Zong Yuan took off his glasses, with a gloomy face he turned his head around to look at Fu Shi Qin and the others. "You young people, are you guys purposely joking with me to make me happy?"
Fu Han Zheng sharpens his eyes, "Old man Ming means that this painting…..is fake?"
Fu Shi Qin still could not believe it, he went to look at the painting, pulled Ming Zong Yuan and said, "Old man Ming, could you please take a look at it again, or I could give you a magnifying glass, we spent tens of millions to buy this at the auction, so how could this painting be fake?"
"Tens of millions?" Ming Zong Yuan was too lazy to even look at it again, it's as if that painting would have stained his eyes with it. "Who actually has a brain problem to spent tens of millions to buy a fake painting?"
Meng Ru Ya looked at Fu Han Zheng, and she became panicked. "Old man Ming, could you look carefully at it again? You who just look at it once and declare that this is a fake, isn't that too hasty of you?" She was the one who took the lead to buy this painting, if this is a fake then she need to take responsibility for it.
Ming Zong Yuan sighed impatiently and waved his hand. "I don't need to look at it closely. I had seen Pauline's paintings so much that I could tell whether it's fake or the real one with just a glance. Besides the real painting is the most precious collection of my fellow collector friend. I had seen this painting with my own eyes in their house, and that family are rich enough that it's impossible for them to sell this painting out." He loves Pauline's works and when he saw these counterfeits, he would be angry on the spot.
Originally, after Ming Zong Yuan identifies this painting as authentic, Fu Shi Qin would have a lot of things to say to Mu Wei Wei. But now, the painting is fake, so he could only swallow all of it back. And Meng Ru Ya who has spent tens of millions to buy the fake paintings did not dare to utter another word.
Fu Han Zheng looked up at Gu Wei Wei who was coming downstairs with his dark and calculative eyes.
"Wei Wei, how did you know that this painting is a fake?" Old madam Fu curiously asked. She knows that she did not study arts before, the person who made this fake painting dare to sell this at the auction and had deceived so many people, so how could she recognize that this painting is a fake?
"My mother used to like oil paintings and often took me to see foreign exhibitions, so I had once saw Pauline's other paintings before. I realized that this paintings looks different, so I believe that it is a fake." Gu Wei Wei explained briefly.
The truth is that the authentic painting of "Rose" was secretly purchased by the Gu family and has been hanging in the Gu family house's living room. Mother Gu is a fan of Pauline's paintings and Ming Zong Yuan was once invited as a fellow art collector to Gu family's house and saw the original painting with his own eyes.
