Chapter 286 Embarrassing Qiao Qingqing's Family
Qiao Yanmeng walked to the bottom of a landscape painting and said, "This one."
Qiao Qingqing took a look and laughed: "This is an antique that my grandfather spent 8 million to buy. It can't be fake. Qiao Yanmeng, stop pretending! You are jealous that our family is richer than yours, which is understandable, but you should change your habit of making up nonsense."
"Really? This should be Amuro's painting, right?"
"You know a little bit."
"If you have seen Amuro's other works, you will find out how rubbish this one is. The lines are imitated very well, but the artistic conception is far from it." Qiao Yanmeng said lightly, "And this one next to it, it's hard to say it's not real, it's just the rubbish layer after the canvas is peeled off. Buying this with the price of the authentic one, isn't this a scam? This is also..."
Qiao Yanmeng spoke very clearly and commented on all the calligraphy and paintings.
In conclusion, half of the calligraphy and paintings here are fake.
Qiao Qingqing was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yanmeng is so good at pretending. Qiao Qingqing looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, find a calligraphy and painting appraiser now. Qiao Yanmeng is too good at pretending."
The second grandfather narrowed his eyes and did not reply immediately. Actually, some of the works here were indeed fake, and he knew that, but the painter's level was indeed high. Even if they were fakes, they were still worth viewing, and ordinary people could not tell that they were fake.
Now Qiao Yanmeng not only found those accurately, but also found out other problematic ones.
It can be seen that Qiao Yanmeng really understands calligraphy and painting.
"Okay, children are just playing, why take it seriously? Your daughter is so interested in calligraphy and painting, you can let her attend calligraphy and painting classes." The second grandfather looked at Qiao Hengguo.
Qiao Hengguo felt a sense of pressure coming and said hurriedly, "She is just a child playing."
Qiao Yanmeng nodded: "Yes, Second Master, please do not change these calligraphy and paintings. Although I can see it, others may not be able to."
The second grandfather's expression changed slightly.
He also invited a big client to have dinner at his home in two days. Qiao Yanmeng could see it. If he found out that the calligraphy and paintings at home were fake, wouldn't it be a great loss of face for him?
"Okay, stop standing and sit down and chat." The second grandfather changed the subject.
Qiao Qingqing didn't understand why her grandfather didn't let the appraiser slap Qiao Yanmeng in the face, and she was a little angry.
Qiao Changye seemed to understand, so he patted Qiao Qingqing's shoulder soothingly.
The lunch preparation was quite rich.
"By the way, Yan Meng is old enough now, doesn't she plan to get married?" the second grandfather suddenly asked.
"Meng Meng has a boyfriend, and they are dating now."
"Are you talking about President Zhan?" Second Master smiled. "I've seen many people like Yan Meng. In the end, they could only become lovers, or they were abandoned and the other party arranged marriage. People should be down-to-earth and choose someone who is similar to themselves. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time and effort."
Qiao Hengguo lowered his head and said, "My uncle is right."
The second master looked at Qiao Yanmeng, "Yanmeng, what do you think?"
Qiao Yanmeng was trying hard to eat. This family was very proud, so they naturally put all the delicious food on the table. It would be a waste not to eat. After hearing this, she raised her head in confusion: "What did you say?"
Everyone: “…”
Could it be that the Second Grandpa just said so much but Qiao Yanmeng didn't hear a single word he said?
The second master repeated, "It's hard for you and Mr. Zhan to have a good relationship. I have a client who wants to meet you. He is a local tyrant in Jiangcheng and his family is rich and powerful."
What the words imply is that Qiao Yanmeng is aiming too high.
"Oh, not interested." Qiao Yanmeng said directly, eating her crab.
It goes without saying that I don't know what good things the Second Grandpa can introduce to me. This family gathering really has ulterior motives.
The second grandfather's face turned pale. It was the first time that a young man had lost face for him like this.
Qiao Qingqing was also angry: "Qiao Yanmeng, my grandpa is helping you out of kindness, but you are talking like this. You really don't know what's good for you! One day, you will be dumped by President Zhan, and then you won't even have anywhere to cry."
The second master ignored Qiao Yanmeng and looked at Qiao Hengguo: "Hengguo, what do you think? You are Yanmeng's father, you just make the decision for her. Yanmeng, you have been spoiled by my eldest brother."
Qiao Hengguo also doesn't want to give up Zhan Tingbei, his golden son-in-law!
However, it was not easy to directly reject the Second Grandfather, and he felt worried.
"Second Master, why are you asking him about my marriage?" Qiao Yanmeng was very curious.
"This is your father. From now on, it's all about your parents' agreement and the matchmaker's words. You're still young and don't understand these things. It's best to let your father decide for you." The second grandfather said in a pressured tone, "He will be here soon. You two can take a look. If it's suitable, you can get engaged first."
