My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 315

Chapter 315

The surrounding people were stunned when Qingfeng said that the <Bamboo Painting> was authentic . Qi Lin had said that the painting was fake . Why did he say it was real?

The outcomes of Qingfeng's and Qi Lin’s authentications were different . One must be right and the other must be wrong . Everyone looked at the two and felt that a good show was about to start .

"Haha, it is obvious that the <Bamboo Painting> is fake . How could you say it is real . How funny," Qi Lin said mockingly .

"I think it is real . Why do you say it is fake?" Qingfeng said lightly as he furrowed his brows .

Others might not be able to tell if the painting is authentic, but Qingfeng could tell it was authentic .

Even though Qi Lin had some understanding of antiques, from Qingfeng’s point of view, he only had a shallow understanding and could not be compared to his own understanding .

"Let me tell you, there are seven bamboos in <Bamboo Painting> . This painting only has six bamboos so it must be fake," Qi Lin said confidently as he pointed to the painting .

In ancient times, Dongpo Su drew this painting when he was at a tea party with six other gentlemen . He felt that the seven of them were all gentlemen so he painted this painting .

The bamboo symbolized a gentlemen’s pride and upright character .

Qingfeng shook his head when he heard Qi Lin’s words . Even though this person had some understanding of antiques and was able to correctly authenticate that the second and third piece of antiques, he did not have a deep understanding of antiques .

Qi Lin only knew of the origin of the painting but did not know what happened later on .

Qingfeng walked in front of Yanzhi Pei and said, "CEO Pei, can I borrow a cup of water from you?"

A flash of confusion appeared in Yanzhi Pei’s eyes at Qingfeng’s words . They were in the middle of the Antique Challenge . Why do you need a cup of water? She was dazed at Qingfeng’s words .

Qingfeng could tell that Yanzhi Pei was confused by his words .

"CEO Pei, please lend me a cup of water . I will prove to you that the painting is real," Qingfeng said confidently with a smile .

He wanted to use a cup of water to prove that the painting was authentic . Everyone was stunned .

"Okay, here is a cup of water," Yanzhi Pei quickly handed over a teacup to Qingfeng . The teacup contained water she had drank from .

Even though she did not know why Qingfeng requested the water, but she believed from his confident manner that he would perform a miracle .

Qingfeng walked towards the <Bamboo Painting> with the teacup in his hand . He took a big gulp from the teacup .

Omg, he’s drinking from my teacup?

Yanzhi Pei’s face became red . She was shy as she had drunk from the same teacup . Now that Qingfeng had drunk from the teacup as well, they had indirectly kissed .

Qingfeng drank a mouthful of water, then he spat onto the painting .

Everyone was stunned when they saw Qingfeng’s actions . Why did he spat on the painting?

"It is time to witness the miracle," Qingfeng said as he picked up the painting and showed it to the crowd .

A seventh bamboo had gradually appeared on the painting after the painting became wet .

A seventh bamboo?

There were seven bamboos on the painting? What happened?

Qi Lin was confused, as was Yanzhi Pei, Yunchang Xu, Xinchuan Zhu and the surrounding people .

There were six bamboos on the painting just now . How did a seventh bamboo appear after Qingfeng spat on the painting? It was like magic .

Time to witness the miracle…did Qingfeng think he was performing magic? But Qingfeng was quite extraordinary . He made a bamboo appear after he spat a mouthful of water on the painting .

"This is an authentic painting . Dongpo Su used a double layer method; he hid the seventh bamboo behind the sixth bamboo . The seventh bamboo would only appear when water touches it," Qingfeng explained to the crowd .

Double layer method?

Qi Lin’s expression changed when he heard the technical phrase . It was very difficult to utilize this method in ancient times . He only knew that there were seven bamboos on Dongpo Su’s <Bamboo Painting> . He did not know that Dongpo Su used a double layer method .

Yanzhi Pei, Yunchang Xu, Xinchuang Zhu were all enlightened . As antique collectors, they naturally knew of the double layer method .

It was a method to hide an object behind another object . It sounded simple but it was difficult to draw .

The surrounding people looked at Qingfeng with astonishment . They did not expect that he knew of Dongpo Su’s double layer method or for him to authenticate the piece correctly .

"The antique competition has ended . I announce that the winner is Qingfeng Li," Yanzhi Pei said with a smile to the crowd .

The surrounding people were upset when they heard Yanzhi Pei’s words . They had just called Qingfeng a liar but Qingfeng had won . It was like a slap in the face for them .

They were not blind and could see the seventh bamboo in the painting . They could not deny that Qingfeng’s authentication was correct .

"Qi Lin, you have lost . You owe me and the Ice Snow Corporation an apology . You have to admit you are a liar as well," Qingfeng said to Qi Lin .

Qi Lin’s expression changed . He was the one to initiate the challenge so he could not back out of it .

"Qingfeng, I am sorry . You are not a liar . Ice Snow Corporation is not a liar as well . I am the liar," Qi Lin said with a pale face .

There was not a hint of color on his face . He clenched his fists tightly and his entire body trembled .

Qi Lin designed this conspiracy to attack Qingfeng and Ice Snow Corporation . He did not expect it to backfire on himself .

Qi Lin had invited the reporters from the newspaper and TV channels . He had even invited socialites and the CEO of Phoenix Sky Corporation, Yanzhi Pei . But in the end, he only benefitted Qingfeng .

He deeply regretted his actions . If he knew this would happen, he would not have organized this challenge . How embarrassing . He could already foresee the mocking news reports on the newspaper and news station tomorrow .

The surrounding reporters did not let this breaking news go easily . They quickly recorded Qi Lin’s words and already had tomorrow’s headline in their minds . They would title it "Qi Lin is a liar" .

Starting from today, Qi Lin would become a massive laughing stock .
