515: Chapter 0515: Tenfold 515: Chapter 0515: Tenfold Qu Xiaoting felt exhrated, 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 me 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 time since I’ve seen such a masterful hidden painting within a painting!” Qin Yuughed.
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 times, 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 howposed Qin Yu was, Wen Zihua suddenly had a bad feeling for some 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 meant, and she let out a coldugh.
“Mr.
Qin, you’re so funny!
To avoid embarrassment, you can reallye up with any excuse, can’t you?
It’s just hrious!
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 carefullyid out the painting, examining it closely.
The originally wless painting now had several spots of double images due to the dampness from the drink!
These double images were obviously misaligned.
This meant that there was anotheryer inside!
Qin Yu confirmed his spection and through touching the surface, he had already felt the dense fluctuations of spiritual energy within the scroll.
“Could you get me a wallpaper knife?” Qin Yu said to the staff.
“Yes!” Mr.
Qin had not only refrained from ming 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 Xiaotingughed 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 dors!”
“Six million US dors?
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 times!”
Qin Yu wasn’t affected by Qu Xiaoting in the slightest, his hands exceptionally steady.
“Ten times?
Hahaha!
Sixty million US dors?
Hahahaha!
You mean to say, you can produce a genuine ‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’?
My goodness…
I can’t take it anymore!” Qu Xiaotingughed so hard tears nearly came out.
“Husband, let’s go home and take care of it there, so we don’t unearth some treasure that catches someone’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 wordsden with deeper meaning.
Not just this painting, but you too are not something others can covet!
