Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 511: The Grand Face-Slapping Wife-Defending Scene (Part 7)

Jun Ruyi lifted her chin, rather proud of herself: "Of course. Deputy Mu said, Master Mu Yun would never easily inscribe something. So, the genuine article can only be mine, the rest are all fakes."The guests looked at Deputy Mu, who was walking over with a serious expression, his mature and steady demeanor being quite convincing, and they all nodded in agreement.

Qin Xin, however, chuckled.

Jun Ruyi was annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"

Qin Xin kept a neutral expression: "Nothing, just thinking Deputy Mu’s words were indeed the truth."

Jun Ruyi: "Of course! Deputy Mu is an elder serving the country, surely he wouldn’t be wrong."

Qin Xin smiled but said nothing.

That Deputy Mu spoke the truth doesn’t mean your understanding is correct.

Deputy Mu approached the two pieces of calligraphy, examined them for a moment, then returned and whispered to Jun Ruyi: "Miss, why didn’t you show me the painting before you bought it?"

Jun Ruyi frowned: "Why, do you think I overpaid? I asked you, you said your father, Master Mu Yun, no longer inscribes for others, so this ’Star River’ must be a rare piece from him, so I bought it."

Deputy Mu’s lips twitched as he sighed, unsure of how to explain to her.

Sitting at the end of the last table, Qin Wenrou joined the crowd, approaching the paintings, and upon seeing the scene, said to Mrs. Nalan, with a very ’virtuous’ air: "Madam, our Qin Family’s circumstances aren’t great now, so my sister’s gift might be a bit of a stretch, please don’t mind. Brother Jun and I both think it’s better to use our company’s products than to gift fakes. But my sister might have just wanted to make you a little happier, please don’t hold it against her, her intentions were good..."

Qin Wenrou’s ’explanation’ seemed to defend Qin Xin.

But actually, it was secretly giving herself and Lan Yingjun an excuse while stepping on Qin Xin, wanting to confirm that Qin Xin’s piece was a counterfeit.

In an attempt to draw an ally, she specifically said to Jun Ruyi: "Miss Jun, wouldn’t you agree? Surely everyone can understand my sister’s intentions, right?"

Jun Ruyi snorted, disdaining to ally with such a shabby little family.

Mrs. Nalan, even more speechless, frowned at her.

"How can this child speak like this, every word sounds so pretentious."

"Are you born of the same mother as our Xinxin?" Mrs. Nalan spoke up.

Qin Wenrou was taken aback: "Yes, we’re real sisters."

Mrs. Nalan: "I thought you were picked up by your mother."

Beside her, Mrs. Gong added with a meaningful look: "Hmm, I also thought they didn’t seem born of the same mother, there’s a big gap in all aspects."

Qin Wenrou was stifled: "..."

That was a real hit.

Originally wanting to seize the opportunity to step on Qin Xin while having fun, but in the end, she only embarrassed herself.

These noblewomen must be blind.

Isn’t it said that elders like gentle, obedient, and sensible girls? What’s so good about someone like Qin Xin, cold, arrogant, and a solitary bookworm?

Qin Wenrou secretly clenched her fists, had no choice but to keep quiet, waiting with Jun Ruyi for the appraisal result, waiting for Qin Xin to be harshly slapped in the face, waiting for Mrs. Nalan to regret siding with Qin Xin for backing the wrong horse.

"Deputy Mu, what’s the result, hurry up and announce it!" Jun Ruyi couldn’t wait any longer.

Deputy Mu hesitated, but in the end, his conscience couldn’t bear it: "Miss, the inscription on Miss Qin’s piece is indeed my father’s handwriting. And yours, it’s not my father’s work."

He couldn’t outright say it was a counterfeit, so he could only tactfully suggest: "Maybe it’s the work of another famous artist."
