Chapter 68: Compensation! The museum will make up the difference

"Jiaxuan" means to manipulate the rice paper. Double-layer folding allows each layer to be peeled off, while triple-layer folding allows only two layers to be peeled off. The strong water absorption of rice paper allows the ink to penetrate, and the strength needs to be controlled."

"It's like extending the original painting. This counterfeiting technique is truly indistinguishable from the real thing."

"Or, even if the author were still alive, he might not be able to identify it."

Gao Liu frowned. "But this technique is difficult to perform. In all these years, I haven't seen anyone who has..."

Indeed, this world of treasure appraisal is truly fascinating. Everyone possesses unique skills and is desperately trying to make money.

If you see someone slouching on the street in shorts, they might not be ordinary. But not everyone is like that.

At this time, Gao Liu took out another painting and placed it in front of Gu Shengsheng.

Said: "I took this from the house in your community when I came here."

Gu Shengsheng was pleasantly surprised and said, "I was just about to remind you to go get it, but I didn't expect you to bring it directly here."

"A museum director's self-cultivation." Gao Liu himself was also very grateful for Gu Shengsheng's praise. "It's really impossible for you to get this thing. I only brought it here by using my identity as a museum director."

"When they heard me say that, they were also shocked. They probably spent 200 million to buy it."

"Such valuable things, why didn't they come here themselves?"

Just as Gu Shengsheng asked, there was a knock on the door. Then a well-maintained woman came with her son, who was about 18 years old. He was tall and handsome.

Mother and son stood at the door.

Following behind was a group of identification teams.

Gu Shengsheng: “…”

Is this how a rich woman behaves?

"Ms. Gu, the curator has introduced you to me. My name is Liu Li, and this is my son, Chen Yufan. It was he who filmed the short video and posted it online, which led to the Wanliu District being exposed and causing trouble now."

The boy looked at her, feeling a bit angry at his mother's words. But he still greeted Gu Shengsheng: "Hello, Sister Gu."

Gu Shengsheng said, "If your Yufan hadn't posted it online, we wouldn't have known. We have an identical one at home. Now we can tell which is real and which is fake, which is good."

Liu Li nodded: "My husband spent 200 million to buy it, and also invited a foreign appraisal team to appraise it, so it can't be fake."

"As for your family, is it because your grandparents are old and don't understand these things, so they got cheated?"

"Ms. Gu, I heard from my son about your livestreaming. It's just like an ordinary girl working hard in Panjiayuan. The fact that you were able to transcend social classes and reach our Wanliu District is a testament to your greatness."

"But you are who you are, and there are some things you really don't understand. Our family couldn't have made a mistake in buying this calligraphy and painting. You're not deliberately coming here to frame me because your own elderly family member bought something of a low quality?"

"How much does it cost? I'll give it to you." She said as she was about to take out the money and hit him in the face.

Although he seemed to be discussing the matter at hand, it was obvious that he looked down on Gu Shengsheng in his words.

Moreover, he didn't want to admit that Gu Shengsheng's things were real.

Originally, Mrs. Lu didn't want to show up, but now she was so angry that she stood up and said, "Mrs. Chen, your husband, Chen Kang, should also be a senior management manager of our company. If I remember correctly, I met you at the annual meeting."

Liu Li was shocked when she heard this. Could this Gu Shengsheng's grandmother be Old Lady Lu?!

Oh my god, how could this happen? She felt like the sky was falling!

It's too late to retain him now.

I could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm sorry, Madam Lu, I didn't know your family lived in this room."

She only knew that Gu Shengsheng was a rookie in the treasure appraisal world and had defeated many treasure appraisers. No one had told her that this person had such a strong background.

I got scammed, I really got scammed this time.

I don’t know if my husband’s position will have an impact.

Chen Yufan ignored his mother's attitude and walked forward to look at Gu Shengsheng: "Sister Gu, have you made a decision?"

"Sister Gu, I watch your live broadcast every day. I trust your judgment."

Gu Shengsheng nodded, a little surprised. She looked at him and said, "Thank you for liking my live broadcast."

"The curator and I just analyzed this. We both agree that this is a painting that's been split in half. Those forgers split something in half and then continue to extend the painting. You can identify it by the thickness of the rice paper. We'll take it to the Beijing Museum for testing later."

At this time, Gao Liu had already been talking to the large group of treasure appraisers brought by Liu Li.

To explain this initial speculation about fraud, further instruments are needed.

In the end, everyone was speechless and no one could find fault.

Liu Li swore that she was genuine, but she didn't expect that she was so aggressive when she came, and now she just wanted to kneel down to the old lady.

She could only vent her anger on the appraisal team behind her.

He said, "I really don't know what you guys are doing! If I had known that Miss Gu and Director Gao had identified them, I wouldn't have brought these things out to embarrass myself."

"I'm sorry, Madam Lu, and Old Madam Lu. I was indeed reckless today."

Gu Shengsheng didn't want to get involved in other things and didn't reply yet.

Mrs. Lu pushed Shengsheng to the back and said, "Liu Li, Chen Kang is a professional manager after all. He manages our branch diligently. How can you help him manage the household when you are so reckless and look down on others?"

"Since Chen Kang works hard for the Lu family, I can forgive your disrespect."

"But you have to apologize to my granddaughter-in-law."

The old lady spoke with great force: "You have a foul mouth, always talking about class. I'm old, and I've never experienced the meaning of class."

"I'm sorry, Madam Lu." This was the first time that Liu Li, at her age, had apologized to such a young girl.

At that time, she really didn't pay attention to what the girl who was brought to the Lu family for marriage looked like. If she had paid attention, she wouldn't have shot herself in the foot.

Gu Shengsheng said, "I hope that next time, it won't be Madam Lu calling me, but Miss Gu."

She is Gu Shengsheng, not just Lu Shijing's wife.

Mrs. Lu's face was full of approval, and the more she looked at Shengsheng, the more satisfied she became.

She said in a gentle voice, "Shengsheng, take them to the museum for identification. Grandma will be waiting for your news at home."

"It seems that some people don't know that you are the young lady of the Lu family, and they always want to bully you. I can't let you suffer this injustice."

As she spoke, the old lady started to get angry again:

"I introduced Shengsheng to everyone that day and held a cocktail party. Liu Li, you went too. Why are you looking down on everyone else now?"

Liu Li didn't say anything, her teeth were about to break.

Chen Yufan nodded, thinking that Mrs. Lu was right.

"That's right! Mom. Your attitude is wrong. No matter who they are, they shouldn't be looked down upon by you. You're so rich, why should you look down upon poor people if they don't provoke you?"

Chen Yufan's story will be laid out in these two chapters and will end soon. Because there is a subsequent plot related to them~~
