Chapter 359

Yan Yuan’s expression was dark and unclear, but those close to him could clearly see that he was in a very bad mood.

It was as if he was going to get angry at the next second.

However, Elder Mrs. Yan did not have any reaction to this scene. She did not seem to mind that her two biological grandsons had caused such an ugly scene at the birthday banquet.

On the side, Master Tu’ s expression was inscrutable. He had been in the field of archeology for many years and naturally had good appraisal skills for calligraphy and paintings. His silence at this moment was a little hard to understand.

No one knew that these two elders had secretly exchanged glances. They wanted to bet on how much Yan Ruo would protect Bai Lin.

“Yan Ruo.” A bit of sadness and regret appeared on Yan Yuan’s face. He said slowly, “You called me er-ge too when we were young. We were still very close then.’

When he said this, Yan Ruo immediately frowned.

When did they ever have a good relationship?

If splashing milk on his coat while no one was paying attention was considered a good relationship, then they were indeed close.

“You don’t even believe in me today. Miss Bai is really skilled to coax my younger fourth brother who’s always been smart to believe everything she says.” The regretful expression on Yan Yuan’s face made Yan Ruo feel disgusted. His words made Yan Ruo feel even more disgusted.

“You really make me sad like this.”

Yan Yuan’s words showed that Bai Lin was trying to drive a wedge between the two brothers. Secondly, it meant that Yan Ruo’s mind was not clear and he only believed in an outsider, that he was being deceived by a woman.

In addition, Yan Yuan had even made himself sound innocent, as if he was saying that his painting could not be fake and that he had been completely slandered by Bai Lin.

At the end of the day, he and Yan Ruo were blood brothers. Yan Ruo had protected Bai Lin and questioned him, Yan Yuan. This was an act of unrighteousness and disregard for their brotherhood.

Bai Lin had only shot to fame in the entertainment industry and had not been in the public eye for a long time. Even if she and Yan Ruo had some sort of relationship, could it be more important than brotherly love?

Yan Ruo was actually going against Yan Yuan for Bai Lin?

Yan Yuan laughed coldly. After he finished speaking, the trust from the elders of the Yan family and the company’s senior executives in Yan Ruo would be greatly reduced.

How could such a person be the Yan family’s patriarch?

Although Bai Lin did not know what Yan Ruo had experienced in the Yan family, she could tell that Yan Yuan was not a good brother who was always respectful and kind to his brothers. The “good relationship” he said was nonsense.

It was obvious just looking at Yan Ruffs expression. Bai Lin could see the disgust in his eyes.

However, it must be said that Yan Yuan really had a good plan. Now, no one would care whether his painting was real or fake. Instead, they would all point the spearhead at Yan Ruo.

Therefore, Bai Lin would not let him have his way.

“Second Young Master Yan, you can’t just be sad. You have to tell me how you got this painting. After all, if you pretend that a fake painting is real and use it as a birthday gift, it doesn’t only hurt your brotherly relationship with Yan

Ruo, but it really doesn’t look good with Elder Mrs. Yan.”

Bai Lin’s thoughts were clear, and she quickly changed the topic.

“Second Young Master Yan’s painting must be real, but I’m also curious as to how he managed to buy two paintings from Master Xuan Jing. If he did it through someone else, then I’d like to have the chance to get one of Master Xuan Jings paintings and bring it back for my collection.”

“You’re thinking too much,” someone else replied, “Second Young Master Yan might really know Master Xuan Jing, but why hasn’t he proven it yet if that’s the case?”

Yan Yuan’s face darkened when he heard such discussions.

“Could it be that the Second Young Master’s painting really came from an unknown source, so he doesn’t dare to tell the truth in front of Elder Mrs.

Bai Lin’s question became a little overbearing, and even Yan Ruo could not help but cast a sidelong glance at her. Every time Xiao Lin revealed her abilities and competed with others, it captivated him.

Yan Yuan was about to say something to refute but was interrupted by Bai Lin.

“Since Second Young Master doesn’t want to tell, I’ll go on.. I have Master Xuan Jings authentic painting of children celebrating one’s birthday at home, so I can tell at a glance that your paintings fake!”
