Lin Qingtong sat there quietly, looking at the painting in front of her, a faint smile on her lips.

She could tell at a glance that the painting was fake, because the real one was in her possession. She had accidentally taken a picture of it while traveling abroad. At the time, she only thought it was beautiful, but later she discovered that it was actually a painting by the famous star Liu Tingyu.

She was smiling because she had also prepared the real painting and planned to give it to Liu Tingyu.

Lin Qingtong raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Jiaorui in front of her. "That's unfortunate, I also prepared this painting."

She waved her hand casually, and her bodyguard brought out the painting.

Two almost identical paintings appeared in the huge office at the same time, and people around couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"These paintings are exactly the same, so which one is real and which one is fake?"

"This is so embarrassing, what if they find out it's fake..."

Lin Jiaorui hurriedly stood up and accused Lin Qingtong.

“Yours is definitely fake. I bought mine at an auction. Yours is probably a fake you found in some shady gallery.”

"Sister, you used to love going to places like this the most."

Lin Qingtong didn't pay much attention to Lin Jiaorui's words, only glancing at them lightly.

"Whether this painting is real or fake cannot be determined by a few words."

"All of this requires evidence."

Lin Jiaorui crossed her arms and sneered as she spoke.

"Of course this painting is real. I bought it at the Starry Night Auction two years ago for 880,000. Sister, how could you possibly come up with so much money?"

Lin Qingtong's smile grew even wider. She hadn't expected Lin Jiaorui to be so well-prepared, even knowing when the painting would be auctioned off and for what price.

Before she could speak, she heard Mr. Li speak from the side.

"I've heard that this painting was sold at the Starry Night Auction House for 880,000. Could it be that the one Miss Jiao Rui has is the real one?"

After hearing this, everyone else in the meeting room couldn't help but cast a disdainful glance at Lin Qingtong.

It turns out that Lin Qingtong's was the fake one. How could she have the nerve to confidently say that Lin Jiaorui's was fake? How could she be so shameless?

Lin Qingtong paid no attention to these gazes, but slowly stood up and walked to the painting, her slender and beautiful fingers brushing across the painting.

“Auction information can be found online, but there is evidence to prove that this painting is an authentic work by Mr. Liu Tingyu.”

A cold glint flashed in Lin Jiaorui's eyes. She had already confirmed it and was absolutely certain that hers was genuine.

Lin Qingtong's is fake; she only deserves to use fakes.

"Sister, you make it sound so nice, but you'd better prove it to us."

Her tone was full of sarcasm, as if she had long been certain that Lin Qingtong was lying.

Lin Qingtong smiled calmly, her slender finger landing on the lower left corner of the painting, pointing it out without any politeness.

"You can see Mr. Liu Tingyu's signature here using ultraviolet light."

Lin Qingtong took out an ultraviolet light and shone it on the lower left corner of the painting, where Liu Tingyu's signature was clearly visible.

Now the evidence is conclusive, proving that Lin Jiaorui's is the fake one.

But Lin Jiaorui was not giving up, and questioned him with icy eyes.

"Signatures can be forged; maybe you wrote it yourself."

Lin Qingtong smiled and said, "It's not difficult to prove it. You just need to check if there is Teacher Liu Tingyu's signature in the lower left corner. You can ask the teacher to verify whether there really is a signature."

So Mr. Li immediately called Liu Tingyu to confirm, and learned that Liu Tingyu always wrote his signature in the lower left corner of his paintings with a special liquid.

To prove that this was true, President Li played the voice message sent by Liu Tingyu for everyone to hear.

Liu Tingyu's voice echoed in the conference room, and Lin Jiaorui's cheeks burned with pain. She never imagined that what she had received was actually a fake, even though she had spent countless efforts and a million yuan to get it.

The feeling of being deceived and the mocking gazes she was receiving made her feel utterly humiliated, and her gaze towards Lin Qingtong was filled with anger.

She felt that she had lost face because of Lin Qingtong. She knew it was fake, so why did she say it in public?

It's all Lin Qingtong's fault.

Lin Jiaorui thought to herself, but she never considered that if she hadn't stood up to question first, how could Lin Qingtong have retaliated?

In her eyes, anyone who goes against her will is a heinous criminal and deserves to die.

Although Lin Jiaorui was furious, she was thick-skinned enough to simply speak with an innocent expression.

"Oh dear, I was just fooled. It was just a painting, and it was fake, so I let it go. I even prepared another gift for Teacher Liu Tingyu."

As she said this, her gaze was fixed on Lin Qingtong, her eyes filled with mockery and malice.

All of that before was nothing compared to this.

Lin Jiaorui slowly opened the black velvet box, inside which was an incredibly dazzling diamond necklace and jewelry. When the sunlight shone down, everything around seemed to light up.

"This is a diamond jewelry necklace that I bought for five million. I guarantee that Ms. Liu Tingyu will like it. This is also our sincerity in our collaboration with Celebrity Home Furnishings."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to see Liu Tingyu cooperating with her, while Lin Qingtong stood by with a resentful and unwilling expression.

Lin Qingtong looked at the diamond jewelry necklace in her hand and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her provocative tone, Lin Jiaorui asked, "Sister, what have you prepared?"

Lin Qingtong placed her fingers on the painting and uttered a sentence softly.

"The sincerity of this painting is enough, but I advise you, Lin Jiaorui, not to try to fool people with fakes anymore."

Lin Jiaorui gave a cold laugh.

"I'm afraid my sister is just jealous, that's why she's wrongly accusing me of having fake jewelry."

A glint flashed in her eyes. This was a jewelry necklace she had taken from Lin Qingtong's office; how could it be fake?

Little did she know that she had already fallen into a trap that Lin Qingtong had specially set for her.

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure gracefully walked into the conference room.

Mr. Li hurriedly greeted her, "Ms. Liu Tingyu, you've finally arrived."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Qingtong and Lin Jiaorui turned their gazes in her direction.

Liu Tingyu wore a light blue ancient-style long gown, her posture elegant, as if time had only left gentleness on her face.

Her gentle smile was like a spring breeze.

"I'm so sorry, there was some traffic and you had to wait."

Lin Jiaorui hurriedly brought the jewelry and ornaments to them.

"Teacher Liu Tingyu, I am Lin Jiaorui. This is a gift I specially prepared for you. It is worth five million. That is my sister. She prepared a painting worth several hundred thousand for you."

“I told my sister right then and there that this was too cheap and completely unworthy of your status, teacher.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingyu's gaze swept around, and his expression immediately darkened.

"You've gone too far."
