515: Chapter 0515: Tenfold 515: Chapter 0515: Tenfold Qu Xiaoting felt exhilarated, a mocking expression on her face.
“Mr.
Qin, it’s all my fault…” Chen Jing’s eyes began to redden again.
“Miss, you needn’t bla yourself, I should really thank you!
If it weren’t for you, how could I have discovered the secret of this textile?
It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen such a masterful hidden painting within a painting!” Qin Yu laughed.
A hidden painting within a painting?
Qin Yu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears, and all eyes widened!
In ancient tis, due to frequent wars, to prevent precious ancient texts from being destroyed or stolen, many calligraphers and painters would use the technique of concealing one painting within another.
They would use less valuable paintings to hide more valuable ones, thus the secrets they contained would not be discovered by outsiders!
If what Mr.
Qin said was true, and it was indeed a hidden painting within a painting, then the replica of the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” was just a decoy!
Its value was far less than the work inside!
In an instant, everyone’s gaze heated up!
Watching how composed Qin Yu was, Wen Zihua suddenly had a bad feeling for so reason!
Could it really be this tragic?
Qu Xiaoting had absolutely no knowledge about calligraphy or paintings, let alone what a hidden painting within a painting ant, and she let out a cold laugh.
“Mr.
Qin, you’re so funny!
To avoid embarrassnt, you can really co up with any excuse, can’t you?
It’s just hilarious!
A hidden painting within a painting, you say?
Keep making it up.”
“Making it up?
Heh…”
Qin Yu couldn’t be bothered to argue with Qu Xiaoting and carefully laid out the painting, examining it closely.
The originally flawless painting now had several spots of double images due to the dampness from the drink!
These double images were obviously misaligned.
This ant that there was another layer inside!
Qin Yu confird his speculation and through touching the surface, he had already felt the dense fluctuations of spiritual energy within the scroll.
“Could you get a wallpaper knife?” Qin Yu said to the staff.
“Yes!” Mr.
Qin had not only refrained from blaming his colleague despite such a big mistake but had also bandaged her wounds, thus conquering all the staff with his character!
Soon, the staff brought the wallpaper knife.
Qin Yu took the knife and carefully made a cut on the scroll.
Seeing this, Qu Xiaoting laughed again, “Mr.
Qin, even if you’re feeling bad about being swindled, there’s no need to take it out on the painting, right?
After all, it’s six million US dollars!”
“Six million US dollars?
Miss Qu, you’re underestimating this painting, aren’t you?
With one cut, I can double the value of this piece!
At least by ten tis!”
Qin Yu wasn’t affected by Qu Xiaoting in the slightest, his hands exceptionally steady.
“Ten tis?
Hahaha!
Sixty million US dollars?
Hahahaha!
You an to say, you can produce a genuine ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’?
My goodness…
I can’t take it anymore!” Qu Xiaoting laughed so hard tears nearly ca out.
“Husband, let’s go ho and take care of it there, so we don’t unearth so treasure that catches soone’s eye,” Su Ziyan said softly, not wanting Qin Yu to lose face in public.
“Don’t worry, in this world, no one can covet my things!”
Qin Yu stopped his actions and looked at Su Ziyan with a smile, his words laden with deeper aning.
Not just this painting, but you too are not sothing others can covet!
