Chapter 271 The Regretful Chen Deshou
Chen Deshou’s expression suddenly froze, and he hurriedly said, "Master Guan, I’m not joking with you, this painting is the genuine Tang Bohu that I bought. You must have looked at it wrong. Please take another good look."
Guan Shutong said, "Impossible. I’ve been immersed in the appraisal world for so many years; there’s no way I would make such a mistake, especially since this painting has such obvious modern craft traces. The technique is crude and simple, it’s just a copy of Riding Donkey Thinking of Returning Painting. Anyone with a bit of standard could see that. If I were to make a mistake now, wouldn’t I become a laughingstock?"
The Chen family members all wore faces of surprise.
"What Master Guan said is exactly the same as what Chen Fan said; could it be that the painting the old man bought is really a fake?" Zhao Chunlan felt a bad premonition creeping into her heart.
Chen Junhao’s hands began to tremble, "No... it can’t be, I spent a hundred thousand dollars on it!"
Chen Deshou’s complexion turned ashen as if he had been choked by something. According to what Guan Shutong said, wasn’t he not even up to a bit of standard?
He had always believed that he had some Dao Practice in the field of appraisal, and he had also collected many antiques purchased at high prices from others. He originally wanted to show off to Guan Shutong, but Guan directly dealt him such a heavy blow, causing his mood to once again plummet.
Guan Shutong took another two glances at the painting and said, "This painting does resemble the imitation that Liu San sells for three hundred dollars a piece. Brother Chen, how much did you pay for this painting?"
Chen Deshou’s face was full of embarrassment, but he still said resolutely, "Ten... a hundred thousand."
Guan Shutong was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of something.
