Chapter 337: Chapter 255 What are you doing?

“Bastard, what are you doing!!”

Qin Chengtu was furious and said, “You, didn’t bring a gift, which was already bad enough, but when someone presents something my dad likes, you damn well come to sabotage it. With that petty nature of yours, you still want to chase after my sister? Dream on!!”

Qin Qihuang’s parents looked particularly displeased; although they had not looked down on Wentian due to his background, at this moment, they were truly repulsed by him!!

“Wentian, do you realize what you’re doing?? What the hell is going on!!” Qin Qihuang exclaimed in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that Wentian could do something so foolish.

“I’ve said it, this piece of calligraphy is a fake,” said Wentian with a faint smile.

Qin Qi’s father’s brows knotted together, his expression stern and his gaze sharp with impatience, “Just because you think it’s a fake, and we don’t believe you, you decide to destroy it?? What kind of mentality is that, it’s a complete mess, totally unreasonable!!”

Those who love paintings and calligraphy detest most when artworks are destroyed. Such masterpieces from ancient times are national treasures—destroying one means there is one less in the world. At this moment, Qin Qi’s father was furiously at his wit’s end!!

If it weren’t for Wentian having helped Qin Qihuang, he would have already kicked Wentian out of the Qin family!!

“Wentian, if this is the attitude you’re using to chase after Qihuang, then I must say, you’re truly disappointing us!!” Qin Qi’s mother said coldly.@@novelbin@@

Wentian replied, “Could you give me a hairdryer, please??”

The crowd was stunned by his request, somewhat baffled.

Qiu Zhenwei sneered, “Ha-ha!! What, you realize your mistake now and want to make amends?? Hmph!! Even if you dry the calligraphy, you’ve already damaged it!! I can’t be bothered to hold you accountable. Just get out of here quickly!!”

His mother was dismissive, “Exactly, can’t be bothered to talk more with someone like you. If admitting wrongs were useful, then what’s the point of the Calligraphy Association!! In my view, you’re just a narrow-minded little peasant who’s not worthy of Qihuang, now leave this place at once!!”

“A crime?? Why should I atone for a crime?? I just wanted to make you understand that this piece of calligraphy is a fake, that’s all,” Wentian said, puzzled.

“Using a hairdryer to prove it’s a fake?? Ha!! That’s quite novel!! Who are you trying to fool?!” Qiu Zhenwei said mockingly.

Qin Qihuang, seeing that Wentian didn’t seem to be lying, looked at him intently, then ran back to her room, brought a hairdryer, and handed it to Wentian.

Wentian took the hairdryer, plugged it in, and started blowing on the calligraphy.

In a short while, the calligraphy was dry.

Wentian brought it up to his nose to smell, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, everyone was somewhat confused, but Qin Qi’s father’s expression changed, and he said, “Wentian, could you please pass it here for a moment?”

“Of course,” Wentian said with a smile.

Qin Qi’s father took the calligraphy from Wentian’s hands and also brought it to his nose to smell, then his expression turned particularly unsightly!!

Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhenwei was struck by a sudden surge of panic and a bad premonition.

“Old Qin, what’s the matter??” Qin Qi’s mother asked, puzzled.

Qin Qi’s father passed the calligraphy in front of her nose and said, “Smell it, isn’t there a strange fishy odor??”

After smelling it, indeed there was a strange fishy odor.

Qin Qi’s father said, “I’ve heard before that in the Zhao Nation, there is a kind of solution extracted from a certain deep-sea fish that can make Korean paper look like a relic of over a century old, and it’s specifically used to create forgeries! Such a fake is almost odorless, however, if wet and then dried, the inside smell will come out!!”

With those words from Qin Qi’s father, the implication couldn’t be clearer, and everyone else’s expressions darkened!!

This piece of calligraphy was actually a fake!!

Qiu Zhenwei’s mother and daughter both turned the color of a liver, extremely embarrassed!!

After all the fuss, they had brought a fake as a gift, and just before, Qin Qi’s father had even offered to buy it, meaning that they almost conned them!!

Qiu Zhenwei, embarrassed, said, “Uncle Qin, I’m so sorry, I really didn’t know this calligraphy was a fake!! I——”

Qin Qi’s father interrupted her and said, “It’s okay, I guess you were also deceived.”

Though he said so, there was now not a hint of warmth in his words!!

Whether the other party really didn’t know it was a fake or intended to deceive them was unclear!!

As a member of the Calligraphy Association, he was about to spend over a million on a forgery; had it been known, it would have been utterly laughable!!

Qin Qi’s father looked inquisitively at Wentian, “Wentian, how did you know that this calligraphy was a fake?”

At this point, everyone reacted and looked at Wentian with surprised suspicion.

Just a moment ago, they all thought Wentian was just making a fuss over nothing, but now they realized the calligraphy was indeed fake. His eyesight was even stronger than Qin Qi’s father’s, which was simply unbelievable!!

Qin Qi’s mother, who had thought Wentian was being unreasonable, was now slightly displeased, but at this moment, she found Wentian quite capable. If not for him, their family could have lost over a million today!!

Qin Qihuang was also incredibly shocked and curious, thinking to herself, just how many more talents does this guy possess that she didn’t understand!!

Wentian laughed and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. Although I haven’t studied Dong Qichang’s calligraphy, from my perspective, although this writing is decent, it’s far from the level of a calligraphy master, so I assumed it was fake. According to what I know, in the methods of producing forgeries, there is one that involves treating the paper with a special dye, and getting it wet and then drying it was simply a way to see if any flaws would appear!!”
