Gu Dai shook her head and looked at Zhang Sheng, saying, “I’m not accusing you of selling fakes; rather, I’m suggesting you’ve bought a fake.”
Sheng Xin, in a tone of urgency, retorted, “Gu Dai, do you detestso much? To falsely accuseof donating a counterfeit calligraphy work!”
Zhang Sheng added, “Yes, it seems you two don’t have a good relationship. I think you’re just slandering Miss Sheng Xin.”
Gu Dai, with a smile curling at the corner of her mouth, looked unflinchingly at Zhang Sheng and spoke, “I remember you bought quite a few items at this auction. When I mentioned the possibility of fake goods, Sheng Xin reacted so vehemently. Don’t you find that odd?”
Zhang Sheng paused, taken aback, and then defended Sheng Xin, “Well, it’s normal for her to misunderstand, since you were talking to Miss Sheng Xin just now.”
Sheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief internally and agreed, “Yes, it’s normal for misunderstandings to arise after hearing your words.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheng Xin thought, now that Zhang Sheng believed her, she could firmly insist that the work was genuine, preventing any exposure of the truth.
Gu Dai, observing Sheng Xin’s relieved expression, approached the host and inquired, “Could I use your big screen for a moment?”
The host, still reeling from the sudden turn of events, nodded subconsciously, “Yes, you can.”
Gu Dai quickly projected several artworks onto the screen, “These are publicly acknowledged works of He Zhi. As you can see, she always signs in the lower right corner.”
Sheng Xin, believing she had anticipated Gu Dai’s tactics, smiled upon hearing her words, “That doesn’t prove anything. The piece I donated also has a signature in the lower right corner.”
Zhang Sheng timely displayed the artwork on the big screen for everyone to see.
Upon seeing this, the crowd nodded and looked at Gu Dai with disdain, unable to resist voicing their condemnation.
“The famed Miss Gu of the Gu family is nothing special after all. I was considering a partnership with the Gu Group, but she seems to be just a pretty face with no brains, easily jealous of others. Not the best choice for collaboration.”
“Yes, indeed, not very impressive.”
“Glad we discovered her true nature early. Otherwise, we’d be in trouble if we were duped by the Gu Group in the future.”
Zhou Ci didn’t believe Gu Dai was one to make baseless accusations. Hearing the crowd’s condemnation, he becanxious and turned to Song Ling, “Think of something, quick!”
Song Ling, calm and collected, replied, “No rush. Let’s wait until she can’t handle it and comes tofor help.”
Zhou Ci thought Song Ling was foolish for missing such an opportunity to support Gu Dai. When would she develop feelings for him if not now?
Moreover, there were other men around Gu Dai. If she needed help, why would she turn to him? And those men might already be offering their assistance.
Zhou Ci, contemplating this, felt his urgent mood gradually settle.
He glanced at Song Ling and couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Missing such an opportunity, you deserve to be single.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Dai, unfazed by the mockery, focused on the screen and spoke with a smile, “Master He Zhi always had a flair in her signatures, making ink splatters a common occurrence.”
Sheng Xin looked at the splattered ink on the signature and laughed, “The work I donated has it too. So, what’s the issue?”
Zhang Sheng also looked and added, “This piece has splattered ink as well, so your point is useless.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “No, the splattered ink reveals a significant issue. It matches exactly with the location of ink splatters in Master He Zhi’s previous works, which is not something that can be controlled manually.”
As she spoke, Gu Dai enlarged and overlaid the images of the ink splatters for a detailed comparison.
Zhang Sheng, incredulous, stepped forward and after a close look, exclaimed in shock, “They match perfectly!”
Gu Dai confirmed, “Exactly. This indicates the signature was copied and pasted, proving the artwork is a counterfeit.”
Upon learning the truth, Zhang Sheng’s eyes reddened with anger, glaring furiously at Sheng Xin.
Sheng Xin, in a panic, waved her hands, “No, it’s not like that, letexplain!”
