My All-About Husband Can
Chapter 6's

Fake painting?

Everyone was shocked and looked at Benedict Han.

"Omong empty!"

"I got this painting from a black ship. I paid him over 300,000 yuan for it!"

"Be careful: the sun is perfectly round and massive, and the sea is very deep and blue."

"I also hired several counterfeiting experts, including the famous Master Eye Ghost, to help me identify this painting. They all agree that this is genuine.

"Benedict felt embarrassed and angry when he realized that his relatives doubted him. He said, "They all say this is worth over 300,000 yuan!"

"How dare you say this was faked?"

Benedict said angrily, "I want you to apologize for what you've said, right now!"

"Or I won't let you go!"

The crowd said softly, "Right, he should really keep his mouth shut. How dare he make judgments without proof?"

Stephanie Tang said in a disdainful tone, "You're just a cook in our house. What do you know about calligraphy and painting?"

The crowd realizes that they were fooled by Darren after hearing what Stephanie said.

He was just a useless person who barely struggled to survive with the support of the Tang family. He definitely knew nothing in terms of art.

She didn't even need to be the Tang family's daughter-in-law if she was truly a capable person.

"Shut your mouth, Darren. You don't know what you're talking about. Stop talking nonsense here."

"Yes, Darren, know where you are and stop pretending to be an expert. You don't even know how to comment on a painting, do you?"

"You're just an unemployed person who goes to great lengths to comment on this masterpiece as if you were a master, what a joke!"

"Ghost Eye Master is the best appraiser of this city. If he said the painting was real, it must be real."

The crowd became agitated and began to scorn Darren, making sarcastic comments.

Samantha was ashamed of him. He completely gave up on her and did not even want to reprimand her.

Samantha said to herself, "For God's sake, when will she be a real man?"

He was tired mentally and physically.

Darren maintained his composure and said, "Why don't you ask father to identify this artwork? He collects antiques and has a lot of experience with authentic paintings."

"Let's show daddy this painting later, and we'll know if it's real."

Benedict's heart is pounding a little. He seemed hesitant.

He wondered why Darren was so convinced that this was a forgery, besides, he actually paid 30,000 yuan for this painting rather than 330,000 yuan.

Despite the seller's assurances that the painting was genuine, he wasn't sure. He actually had a bad feeling about this painting.

If it was truly genuine, the seller would charge it at a higher price.

He was feeling a little uncomfortable now.

Is there really a problem with the painting?

"What's going on here?"

Just then, a woman appeared at the entrance and spoke loudly.

"Today is a happy day for my family. Is anyone trying to mess up here?"

Samantha's mother Rachel Ling slowly entered the hall, followed by her husband, Donald Tang.

He was already in his 40s, but he still looked young, with no wrinkles on his face.

She has a beautiful face and bright skin. She looked mature and graceful at the same time. He was so young that he could easily be mistaken for someone in his 30s.

Rumor has it that Rachel was the prettiest woman in Middlesea and had many admirers when she was young.

The beauty of Samantha and her sister was clearly inherited from her.

However, he had a bossy attitude because he was the owner of a large commercial clinic. He was cruel and evil to everyone around him.

Even her husband was submissive to her.

Therefore, the entire room became quiet as he stepped into the room.

Benedict pointed at Darren and complained,

"Mom, I don't mean to cause chaos here. However, Darren insisted that the birthday gift I prepared for dad was a fake."

"He's trying to smear my reputation."

Benedict said sadly.

Darren said quietly, "This is really a fake painting."

Rachel shouted, "Silence, who gave you the right to speak?"

Samantha quickly pulled him back, "Stop fooling yourself, okay?"

Despite Samantha's insistence on helping him, what Benedict said actually made sense. How could Darren know how to identify antique calligraphy and painting?

Rachel glanced at Darren with a hint of disdain on her face. He held Donald's hand and walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.

"Bring me the painting!"

Rachel pointed at Benedict and said, "Your father and I will examine it carefully."

Donald's hobby is collecting antiques. Rachel has learned a little about that as well.

Benedict hurriedly handed the painting over to them.

Donald and Rachel carefully examined the painting in their hands.

After a while, Donald started whispering in his ear.

He slowly raised his head and scowled at Benedict.

He looks unpleasant.

Benedict felt ashamed and could not believe he had bought a fake for his father's birthday.

Benedict's ominous expression caught Samantha's attention. He was happy, and maybe what Darren said was right. This painting is fake.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he expected. Rachel said,

"This is the original, Wu Daozi's masterpiece."

Rachel looked into Darren's eyes and questioned him with a flat face.

"You don't know anything about the painting. Stop acting smart and don't just comment on the painting next time or you'll embarrass yourself."

"Benedict's reputation has been tarnished by you. Bring him a cup of tea and apologize to him."

"If you don't want to do it, don't ever go back to our house."

Darren surprised. There are obvious flaws in this calligraphy and painting. Donald and Rachel will definitely be able to determine that this is fake with their experience.

Benedict was also surprised, but he immediately felt relieved when he realized what was going on.

"Dad, mother, please take a closer look. It must be a fake painting..."

Darren is still trying to explain but is quickly interrupted by Rachel.

"Shut up!"

"Do you want to say that we're too old to determine if this painting is real or not?"

"I've said this is genuine. Stop talking nonsense and shut up!"

He ordered, "Apologies to Benedict, right now!"

"Come on Darren, I've made sure that this is genuine. What exactly are you waiting for? Apologize to Benedict!"

“It's okay, Mom. Darren was just trying to show off in front of Mom. He is a pathetic man. Please ignore him."

"Exactly. He's just trying to be smart. We shouldn't have listened to him."

"He's just a cook, and you're hoping he knows something about calligraphy and painting? Really joke!"

Their relatives started to mock him once again.

Benedict said cheerfully, "Come on, Darren, come over here and apologize to me!"

Darren looked at Rachel with a sharp look, then a sly grin appeared on his face. He realized that he was trying to cover Benedict up.

He had already realized that this was a forgery, but he did not want to reveal Benedict in front of their relatives.

According to him, because Darren is just a son-in-law. Benedict, a construction business owner with a bright future, is a much better choice.

So, Rachel would definitely not defend Darren in front of the crowd!

Samantha's pretty face darkened, and she said, "I'm sorry, Darren, they'll forgive you."

Stephanie scoffed, "Are you still not going to apologize? Stop making my parents angry!"

Darren chuckled, then laughed out loud in front of the audience. Because of her background, they would rather bully her than uphold justice for her. Isn't this the law of the jungle? How sad!

He was no longer the old Darren, who would lower his head and slap his own face to apologize in this situation. He'll defend himself tonight!

He knew that if he continued to give up on them the entire time, he would never have a chance to fight back and the people around him would also be injured.

"Haissh's..."

He took a step forward, pinched the side of the painting with his fingertips, and pulled it slowly.

Because the base is made of fabric, the thread will easily be separated from the painting. Darren kept pulling the thread from the painting.

"Hua la"

The painting that was worth 300 million was destroyed in an instant. Everyone is surprised.

Benedict said angrily, "Look at what you've done!"

Darren remained calm. He took a step forward and placed the thread he took from the painting on the table.

"Nylon rope!"

"Man-made synthetic fiber!"

"This fiber was discovered in 1938!"

"How did Wu Dao Zi 700 years ago make this painting on this material? Does he have a time machine that allows him to travel from the past to the present?"

Suddenly, everyone fell silent and did not dare to make a sound.

They're dumbfounded.

Stephanie was shocked, and her mouth was open. He did not believe Benedict had prepared the fake as a birthday present.

Moreover, their relatives were only interested in seeing Darren humiliated. They didn't know that what Darren said was true.

As a result, everyone knows it's a scam because modern nylon threads are unlikely to appear in paintings from 700 years ago.

Kill in one blow!

Benedict was embarrassed, and his cheeks flushed red.

Rachel's face also darkened.

"Even if this painting is fake, it's still a hundred times better than your ugly ginseng fruit." Stephanie hurriedly said as she watched people judge her husband.

He quickly opened the gift box that Darren had prepared.

He took out a ginseng fruit and slammed it on the table.

"It's our fault that we didn't realize that it was a scam. It's not polite to give it to Dad. I sincerely apologize to father."

But look what you've prepared for dad's birthday!"

"You're trying to give this ugly fruit to dad as a birthday present. We don't know where you got this fruit. So dirty and disgusting. I wonder if it would only make people sick if they ate it."

Stephanie pointed at Darren and said loudly, "Our reward is a hundred times better than your reward!"

Benedict wears his hat, "It looks abnormally red. Are you trying to poison me?"

When the crowd saw the ugly red ginseng fruit, they started to blame Darren again.

Samantha stepped forward and pulled up her sleeve, "Darren, apologize to mom."

But he would not apologize. He took a step forward and pointed to the ginseng fruit, and said, "Mom, Dad, what do you think about this Ginseng fruit?"

Donald observed the fruit up close and began to examine it. Suddenly, he was shocked, and his eyes opened wide.

She was about to stand up and say something but was interrupted by Rachel.

"not interesting. The color is unusual red and smells sharp."

Rachel looked at Darren and said, "Obviously, you got this fruit from the street, didn't you?"

"Do you really not care about your father? No one would prepare such a bad gift for their parents. What's the matter with you?"

Rachel admonished him harshly, "Benedict's right. No matter how bad the painting is, it's still better than your ugly fruit."

He's trying to defend Benedict.

Darren is again their target.

Samantha looked at him angrily and whispered, "Why doesn't this bastard stop fooling himself and fooling around?"

"Did you hear that?"

Benedict grinned grimly and said, "You're trying so hard to embarrass me, but you're actually embarrassing yourself, you idiot."

Darren looked at Rachel and Donald, and asked, "Do you think this is really trash?"

"What else is that?"

Stephanie said in a disdainful tone, "In my opinion, this is even worse than trash."

Darren was very disappointed with the Tang family. He did not want to hold back anymore.

He took the ginseng and bit it. Meanwhile, he turned on his phone and projected a news clip onto the hall's large screen.

"At noon today, the annual rare treasure auction was successfully held in the banquet hall of the Middlesea Hotel."

"The rare Dragonhead Ginseng fruit from Kunlun Mountain was bid and sold for a very high price."

"Mrs Caroline Song of Fifth Lake Corporation has won a bid for this fruit for 3 million yuan ..."

The host was very happy. He displayed pictures of the auction as well as pictures of Ginseng fruit.

The fruit was ugly, red, and shaped like a dragon's head, and was exactly what Darren had eaten.

Even the serial code "9981" shown on TV matches the serial code of the box on the table.

Ginseng fruit?

Kunlun Mountain?

A very rare fruit?

Three million yuan?

Everyone is really stunned.

Rachel clung tightly to her clothes with all her strength.

A strong sense of regret swept over him ...
