Divine Doctor Dragon Master

Chapter 296: A Fake Painting!



Qin Jiang sneered, "If I'm a wild brat, what is she? An orphan without parents to teach or raise her?"

"You!!!" Wen Wanru fumed, "Third sister, your son really has a sharp tongue! He doesn't respect his elders at all! Is this how you teach him?"

Wen Wenling replied indifferently, "There's no point in teaching manners to someone without any upbringing."

With one sentence, Wen Wanru was left speechless.

Old Mr. Wen said slowly and clearly, "Do as Qin Jiang says."

Bai Shuang'er's face turned pale with anger, trembling all over.

Old Mr. Wen said coldly, "What? You don't want to eat this meal?"

Seeing the Old Master angry, Bai Shuang'er finally wiped the chair clean reluctantly.

Only then Qin Jiang and his companions took their seats.

The family head spoke up, "Once Tian returns, we'll start the feast."

There was still one empty seat, reserved for the second son of the Wen Family, Wen Xiaowen's son, Wen Tian.

Pride flashed across Wen Xiaowen's face as he said, "Dad, I have good news for you. Tian has been selected for the Martial Arts Department; now our Wen Family can hold our heads high in Jinling!"

At these words, Old Mr. Wen's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, revealing a trace of happiness, "Really?"

"Really!" Wen Xiaowen said with a face full of surprise, "Not only was he selected for the Martial Arts Department, but he also ranked first in this year's new recruits, surpassing everyone else! He's truly brought honor to the Wen Family!"

"Well done! Very good!" Old Mr. Wen was also very pleased, "Tian is indeed the pride of our Wen Family."

Wen Xiaobai, seeing Wen Xiaowen hogging the limelight, felt quite unhappy and said, "Dad, Wen Tian might be formidable, but my son Wen Wu is not bad either."

"The Wen Family company is bringing in tens of millions every month, all thanks to Wen Wu single-handedly turning things around."

Upon hearing this, Wen Wu also stood tall and proud, "Just average! It's just a hundred times better than certain good-for-nothing trash. I heard some have even been to prison. Such societal scum, they simply disgrace our Wen Family!"

Wen Wu's mother immediately spoke in a mockingly sarcastic tone, "Oh? Our Wen Family has produced such a disgrace? Third sister, tell me, who might that person be?"

Wen Wenling's expression turned ugly.

"Enough," Old Mr. Wen timely stopped this topic, not wanting to embarrass Qin Jiang and the others.

Old Madam Wen said, "We two old folks are old and don't have many desires. We just want to enjoy family harmony. Why do you keep targeting the third child?"

Wen Xiaowen sneered, "It's not that we are targeting her, it's just that she herself is not ambitious!"

"Back then, shamelessly running off with a poor nobody to that wretched place, she completely lost face for our Wen Family! Over twenty years have passed, and one would hope they might have achieved something by now? But no, they've raised a reformed criminal!"

"They don't deserve to step through the door of our Wen Family!"

Bai Shuang'er also wore a look of disdain, "Just look at how poor and shabby they are, the three of them combined aren't even worth as much as the pet coat on my dog. I truly can't muster any respect for them."

Qin Jiang just sneered, "You degrade us because you're afraid we'll come back to fight for the inheritance, aren't you? Rest assured, I really don't care for the Wen Family's trifling assets."

"And I won't compete with you for them."

"But let me say this beforehand, dare to insult us again, and I won't consider any past feelings!"

His icy gaze swept over everyone, making them slightly nervous!

After all, Qin Jiang had been inside.

If pushed to the brink, nobody knew what this wild brat might do!

It is said that it was Qin Jiang who had marred Wen Wu's face.

Wen Xiaobai said with contempt, "What garbage, a mind filled only with violence, an eternal clown who can't show his face in decent society. Forget it, we won't stoop to arguing with someone like that!"

"Wen Wu, bring out the gift you bought for Grandpa to show everyone!"

Wen Wu immediately presented the gift he had prepared as if seeking praise.

"Grandpa! This is an authentic piece by Tang Yin. I bought it for over a million from the antique market. Please have a look!"

A landscape painting was unrolled before the crowd.

"A genuine Tang Yin masterpiece? That's quite generous!"

"It has to be Wen Wu, indeed the one with deep pockets and filial piety!"

Old Mr. Wen also had a face full of surprise, staring at the painting, "Very good, very thoughtful."

The others also took out their own gifts.

At least a hundred thousand.

Some even a few hundred thousand.

All of them were of considerable value.

"Great, great, great! Everyone is so thoughtful, and I'm very happy!" Old Mr. Wen was beaming with joy.

Wen Xiaobai snorted coldly, "Third sister, since you came back to attend the birthday celebration, where's your gift?"

Wen Wenling also took out the two gifts she had picked.

A jade pendant.

A vase.

"Is that all?!"

The Wen family members sneered, "Don't tell us these are some cheap goods you bought somewhere?"

"The gifts we bring start at six figures! And you give these trinkets? Truly a poor and shabby display, embarrassing!"

"Exactly... there are so many guests watching, if they didn't know better, they might think the Wen Family collects junk!"

They condemned in unison, almost wishing they could trample Qin Jiang and his companions underfoot!

Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Grandpa, these two gifts may not be expensive, but they're worth about five million, just a small token of my esteem."

"Five million?!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd nearly burst out laughing!

Wen Wu slammed the table and stood up, "Qin Jiang! Have you no shame? I saw with my own eyes what you bought! This stuff, at most cost a few thousand! And you dare to boast?!"

Old Mr. Wen frowned and asked, "Jiang, tell me honestly, how much did you pay for these gifts? Grandpa won't blame you."

"One is twelve thousand, the other eight thousand," Qin Jiang said calmly.

"As expected, showing your true colors, huh?" Wen Wu scorned incessantly, "Who else are you trying to deceive? Five million? If you don't have money, you don't have money; why pretend to be a big shot?"

"So many guests heard your ridiculous bragging, aren't you embarrassed?"

Facing their mockery, Qin Jiang remained unfazed, "Grandpa, indeed these gifts didn't cost much when purchased, but their actual value is not low."

"You should keep them safe."

Old Mr. Wen said with a smile, "It doesn't matter how much they cost, it's the thought that counts."

He set the gifts aside and picked up the painting, "A genuine Tang Yin piece, what a treasure! Just in time, I heard that the Xiao Family Head is a loyal fan of Tang Yin, and the Wen Family just happens to have a project we want to work on with them!"

"If I can gift this painting to him, the deal should be settled!"

"Wu, you have indeed made a great contribution," he added.

Wen Wu was proud, "Grandpa, it's just a trifle, not worth mentioning. I'm not like some people who buy worthless gifts and then lie and show off!"

Qin Jiang, ignoring his ridicule, asked, "Grandpa, you plan to give this painting away?"

"Indeed!" Old Mr. Wen sighed, "Although I also like paintings, gifting it to the Xiao Family Head to bring greater benefits to the Wen Family is the wisest choice."

Qin Jiang shook his head, "Maybe you shouldn't give it away."

"Oh?" Old Mr. Wen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Qin Jiang said lightly, "Because this is a counterfeit painting!"
