Chapter 357: Being Unreasonable

Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Lin deftly pinched a part of Yan Yuan’s arm with her other hand. Yan Yuan felt like he was controlled by an unshakeable force; his entire arm was a little numb and he had to let go of Bai Lin’s wrist.

This woman… How could she have such abilities?

Yan Yuan glared at Bai Lin, but Bai Lin ignored him. She just faced the crowd and said, “As we all know, Xuan Jing is best at fine brush. This painting is obviously also a fine brush painting, but you’ll realize that he has a small habit when he paints after you look at a lot of his paintings.”

Some of the people who had been disdainful of Bai Lin turned to look at her. They wanted to see what she had to say.

Bai Lin pointed at a young boy who was holding the longevity peach and said, “Xuan Jing likes to paint people in his painting with the outline color filling technique, but he doesn’t like it when he draws children. Instead, he uses the boneless painting technique and adds a little color to the edges to show the outline in order to highlight the boy’s playfulness and cuteness. Every child in this painting uses an outline-filling technique, so it’s clearly not Xuan Jings work.’

“How do you know that Master Xuan Jing paints like this? Do you know how to evaluate paintings? Who wouldn’t know how to make things up with some jargons?!” someone in the audience immediately retorted.

“That’s right!” a rich family’s daughter said, “None of Master Xuan Jings original works has ever drawn a child. Today is the first time we see one, but why do you speak as if you’ve seen one before? Isn’t a child a character as well? Why’d he use a different technique? What you said doesn’t make sense at all. You’re just making things up!’

“We all believe that you’re a knowledgeable person, Miss Bai. However, you can’t just say whatever you want in a place like this. It’s your first time here, so you probably don’t know Second Young Master Yan very well,” Yan Yue suddenly spoke. Her seemingly non-aggressive words were actually mocking Bai Lin.

“Master Xuan Jings paintings can usually only be seen with private collectors. Very few people can see the process of him painting, and even fewer people have ever heard him explain his paintings. For an artist like Master Xuan Jing, the techniques and artistic conception used in each painting are different. Even if you’ve seen his painting before, you definitely haven’t seen this painting that was specially made for Grandma’s birthday banquet. How can you be so sure?”

This time, more people felt that Bai Lin was just being unreasonable to attract attention today.

“l really don’t know what she can gain by going against Second Young Master Yan like this. She probably doesn’t want to continue making her living,” someone said.

“You’d better leave! Second Young Master Yan must know Master Xuan Jing since he can buy one of his paintings!” someone even shouted, “Do you know Master Xuan Jing as well?”

As soon as he said this, someone immediately laughed. “Do you think that

Master Xuan Jing is the owner of some roadside stall? That even a random young girl who still stinks of her mother’s milk can get to know him?”

The atmosphere around Yan Ruo was extremely low in pressure as he was unhappy.

Yan Yuan actually dared to grab Xiao Lin’s hand?! He must be really tired of living. It seemed that two months was not enough for him to reflect on his actions. He should be locked up for the rest of his life!

As for these people… Yan Ruffs sharp eyes swept across them one by one and finally landed on Yan Yue.

He did not miss the smugness that suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Er-ge.” Yan Ruffs voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Since Xiao Lin’s already raised such a question, why don’t you tell us directly if you’ve bought this painting from Master Xuan Jing, or…” Yan Ruo deliberately paused for a moment. “You’ve been scammed?”

When these words were said, it could be completely treated as Yan Ruo expressing his position.

It meant that he acknowledged Bai Lin’s words and believed that the painting Yan Yuan brought was a fake one and not Master Xuan Jings own work.

He actually trusted Bai Lin and doubted his own family?!

Yan Yuan did not have any abnormal reaction. In his eyes, it was very normal for Yan Ruo to go against him; no matter what Yan Ruo did, it was all to target him.

However, Yan Yue was already gripping the wine glass in her hand tightly in shock..
