Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 510: The Grand Face-Slapping Wife-Defending Scene (Part 6)

The guests whispered to each other, and they too felt that Jun Ruyi had no need to fake it.But, the doubts of the two ladies seemed to make sense.

What exactly was going on?

In the midst of confusion, Nalan Ye Jue stood up, handed Qin Xin a cylindrical gift box, and took out a book: "I have a signed edition from Xinghe here. If everyone is interested, we can compare the handwriting."

Qin Xin’s hand trembled slightly as she took the gift box.

Cough, cough, when did the man ever have her signed book?

Could it be that he also reads her novels?

For a moment, she wondered if her book had any embarrassing driving scenes and whether he would find out and tease her.

Wait, the man didn’t know she was Xinghe; why was she nervous? Really.

Qin Xin handed the gift box to the butler and returned to her seat.

With Nalan Ye Jue’s calm statement, everyone’s attention was completely fixed on the authenticity of the inscription, and no one cared whether Qin Xin had brought a gift or not.

The butler hung Jun Ruyi’s painting on the grand wooden shelf in the hall and placed Xinghe’s signed book next to it.

One was the cover of the authentic signed book, the other was the book inscription and painting.

It was clear at a glance.

Even those who didn’t understand calligraphy could see the subtle differences upon closer inspection.

"That vertical hook... Is it a bit different?"

"Yes, exactly, the vertical hook is different."

"Could it be... Miss Jun’s piece really has a problem?"

"When placed next to the original book, the momentum of this calligraphy immediately fades away."

Though the calligraphy painting was one or two meters high, while the original book was small, it was overshadowed by the elegant and fluid strokes of the original book.

Jun Ruyi’s face gradually became more embarrassed.

And Nalan Ye Jue further hit her sore spot: "Butler, why hasn’t Miss Qin’s gift been opened?"

At first, Jun Ruyi thought Nalan Ye Jue was helping her out.

She gave Nalan Ye Jue a grateful glance.

But Nalan Ye Jue’s gaze wasn’t directed at her, but entirely on Qin Xin’s gift.

Jun Ruyi also followed Nalan Ye Jue’s line of sight.

As the gift box slowly opened.

Another piece of gold foil paper.

Also two meters high.

Also... the word "Xinghe" was displayed in front of everyone.

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Jun Ruyi held her breath for a few seconds too.

It pierced the heart...

The next second, she blurted out: "This piece is fake!"

The other guests dared not speak and certainly did not casually judge; they were already a bit confused.

If looked from birth and status, the gift from Jun Ruyi should be more likely to be real, while the one from this humble Miss Qin would be a fake.

Yet, why, when both calligraphies were placed together, did Miss Qin’s seem more artistic and better match the original book cover?

Seeing her sudden accusation went unechoed, Jun Ruyi gritted her teeth and played a major card: "This book of Xinghe was inscribed by Master Mu Yun, and coincidently, my father’s deputy is Master Mu Yun’s own son. He can assess this, certainly without error. Deputy Mu, please come in!"

Jun Ruyi raised her voice.

The one who helped her move the gift earlier was Deputy Mu.

And he is the one she consulted by phone at the auction.

Did anyone think she came completely unprepared to give a gift?

Sure enough, as Jun Ruyi presented such a witness, everyone nodded: "Since Master Mu Yun’s son is here, he must be able to discern the fake from the real."
