Chapter 682 The Princess Shocking Everyone
Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
On the table beside the exhibition hall, Xia Wanyuan was holding a pen and drawing rapidly on the paper.
The Qing University professors were at the very center. The others could only see that Xia Wanyuan’s hand did not stop. They could not see the final product, but when
they saw Xia Wanyuan’s wanton style of painting, everyone estimated her standard in their hearts.
“Young people these days are really too impetuous. They’re spouting nonsense just to gain some fame.”
“The way she holds the pen is too ill-disciplined. How dare she say that she can draw Li Yin’s picture?”
“Shh, just watch. It’s not like we’re the ones who lost face. We’ll see how it ends later.”
While everyone was discussing fervently, Xia Wanyuan had completely filtered out the people around her and sunk into the Autumn Chrysanthemum Garden.
Li Yin’s paintings were rarely seen, but there was indeed another painting that Xia Wanyuan had seen before. It was called “Waterfall.”
Initially, Jun Shiling did not like collecting antiques and calligraphy paintings. Ever since he found out that Xia Wanyuan liked painting, he had gotten people to buy many
famous paintings from all over the world.
Among them was Li Yin’s masterpiece, “Waterfall”.
Xia Wanyuan recalled the drawing methods used by Li Yin in that painting. Although she could not imitate 100%, she could still do 70-80%.
As time passed, the people waiting outside grew increasingly impatient. As for the Qing University professors near Xia Wanyuan, they gradually relaxed.
Those present who knew paintings were not blind. It was obvious which painting was better. In terms of technique and mood, Xia Wanyuan’s painting was much better than
the collection from Hanchuan University.
So, the treasure that Hanchuan University treated preciously was fake?!!!
At this moment, the faces of the teachers from Hanchuan University were very ugly.
The vice-principal couldn’t wait to remove the staff member who did the introduction from his position. /fonly he hadn’t provoked the people from Qing University. How
am I going to clean up the mess now?
Professor Zhang waited for a while until the situation was extremely awkward. Then, he finally came forward to resolve the situation. “Our school’s Professor Xia is only
guessing, hahaha. We haven’t completely confirmed that ‘Autumn Chrysanthemum’ is fake. We still have to wait for the international professional team to verify it. We still
have to observe who is real and who is fake. Don’t you agree, Principal Cui?”
“Ah yes, thank you Professor Xia for your suggestion. We will invite a professional appraiser over later. When the results are out, we will inform you immediately.” Even
though everyone knew clearly that the present painting was fake, since Professor Zhang had already given them an out, Principal Cui naturally went along with it.
However, there were always some people who were unwilling to step down and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.
Not long ago, the fiercest associate professor who had questioned Xia Wanyuan’s fiercest associate professor was from the Philosophy faculty and did not know much about
paintings. As a result, he could not see how Xia Wanyuan’s paintings were better than the collections of Hanchuan University.
After listening to Professor Zhang’s words, he believed them to be true. Seeing how Xia Wanyuan had managed to escape unscathed after humiliating the treasure of their
Hanchuan University, he could not hold back anymore.
“Miss Xia is young, but you are knowledgeable. How do you know that the white jade wine glass of the Han Dynasty is fake?”.
