Chapter 281

The ancestral home of the Chu family is already bustling at this time.

From all over the world, many famous businessmen and political celebrities came to celebrate Chu Tianxiong's birthday.

After all, the influence of the Chu family in the world is unmatched by the family. The birthday of the Chu master is naturally a very sensational thing.

The young masters and young ladies of the Chu family had already arrived here and were drinking with the guests. They seemed to be looking for opportunities for cooperation and adding chips for themselves. Fortunately, they won the competition among the successors in the future.

On the contrary, Chu fan, the last one to arrive, stood there and seemed a little lonely. Although the guests saw him, they didn't come and take the initiative to talk.

Because there are many children of the Chu family, many of whom were sent out for trial when they were young. When they came back after growing up outside, they suddenly looked at it and couldn't recognize it.

"Happy birthday, grandpa!"

Chu fan didn't care about this, but took Chen Mengyao and Qiao Xue's second daughter and went straight to the inner hall of the ancestral house to find Chu Tianxiong.

At the moment, old Chu is sitting on a pine pear wood chair, dressed in red festive Tang clothes, and his silver hair is meticulously taken care of. He looks energetic.

At this time, a group of guests, including the children of the Chu family, were taking turns to send birthday gifts to the Chu master.

What are Qi Baishi's collected paintings, longevity peaches carved from white marble, and complete sets of gold bottles made of pure gold... Each gift is worth millions of dollars, and others envy it.

However, Chu Tianxiong only had a polite smile on his face. When facing these gifts, he didn't show much interest. At most, he smiled back at the giver.

At this time, Chu fan stepped forward quickly to bless, which could not help but annoy the guests in front of him.

"Hey, how can you jump in the queue to give gifts?"

One of the children of the Chu family glared at Chu fan discontentedly and butted Chu fan with his shoulder.

Chu fan glanced at this man, and his impression was that he should be a descendant of the fifth master. It seemed that they were called Chu Aotian. They had only seen each other when they were young. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the other party had grown so big.

At present, Chu Aotian didn't recognize Chu fan. He thought Chu fan was just a branch successor like him. At this moment, he wanted to be in the limelight and pushed forward regardless.

Some guests who didn't know the truth also looked down on Chu fan.

Chu fan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

I didn't expect to line up to celebrate my grandfather's birthday.

Well, he still remembers fuber's advice that there are many families with unfriendly relations at Grandpa's birthday banquet. If there is a conflict with people at this time, doesn't it mean to show them jokes?

On this thought, Chu fan gave Chen Mengyao and Qiao Xue a look, and the three went to the back of the line to line up.

He raised his nose proudly.

The birthday celebration team moved forward slowly, and those rare treasures kept appearing. Some treasures even reached a unique level. As soon as they appeared, they attracted cheers and thunderous applause.

But Chu Tianxiong has always shown a lack of interest. With his experience, these so-called "rare treasures" are still too simple.

Soon, it was Chu Aotian's turn to give gifts.

He came forward with a smile, handed over a picture scroll and said respectfully, "Grandpa, I'm Chu Aotian, the xuansun of Wufang. On your birthday, I'll send you a gift on behalf of Wufang. I hope you will accept it."

Seeing that it was a gift from a descendant who was related to him by blood, the smile on the old man's face was no longer so perfunctory and a little more cordial.

"It's Aotian. I haven't seen you for years. It's so big." Chu Tianxiong said with a smile.

Chu Aotian nodded modestly and opened the scroll. Lang said, "Grandpa, I spent some effort to find out that you have always been interested in the paintings of Badashan people."

"However, when the situation was turbulent, the authentic works of Badashan people had long been sold abroad. Those in China were imitations, and this pair in my hand cost me 28 million to buy at meiguo auction. It's absolutely authentic!"

With that, he took both sides of the scroll and slowly turned it around in place to show the painting to many guests for appreciation.

"It's actually the painting of pine stones by Badashan people. I've seen one in China before, but it has been identified as an imitation!"

"Twenty eight million, this must be an authentic work?"

"It should be true. The artistic conception of this kind of painting cannot be imitated."

……

In the crowd, all kinds of voices sounded.

Chu fan glanced at it and thought it was authentic for the first time, but then he found the problem.

"There's something wrong with this painting."

Chu fan leaned back and whispered to Chen Mengyao.

When he said this, he didn't want to tear down Chu Aotian's platform. After all, no matter whether the real painting or the fake painting, he could investigate the old man's hobby and buy it for the old man, which shows that he had his heart.

Since you use your heart, that's enough. It's inhumane to tear down the platform or something.

The reason why he said this to Chen Mengyao is that Chu fan wants to be forced in front of the person he likes.

However, although Chu fan lowered his voice, he was heard by Chu Feng in front of him. The boy turned his eyes slightly and said loudly: "second brother, what are you talking about? Is this painting fake?"

At this time, Chu Tianxiong was smiling and taking over the painting. He also patted Chu Aotian on the shoulder and encouraged him a word or two.

Let those guests around envy, at the same time understand that giving gifts is still to do what they like, which is not expensive. But Chu Feng shouted out in a loud voice, and everyone's expression changed.

Everyone focused on Chu fan.

Chu fan looks confused and forced. He is preparing to popularize some knowledge for Chen Mengyao. Why is he suddenly stared at by everyone.

Chu Feng hurriedly put on a wronged look and whispered, "second brother, I'm sorry, I seem to have done something wrong again..."

Chu fan is too lazy to expose the poor acting skills of the seven younger brothers.

He smiled awkwardly at the crowd and hurriedly said, "I don't mean that. Don't mind. Keep giving gifts."

But before he finished, Chu Aotian came to him in a fierce manner, looked at him up and down and said, "so you're Chu fan. I said you look a little familiar. You haven't seen it for a few years. It's changed a lot!"

Chu fan smiled and said, "you haven't changed much. You're still as handsome as before..."

"Don't flatter. Didn't you say my painting is fake? Today, just in front of Grandpa, tell me where my painting is fake. Come here!"

Chu Aotian interrupted angrily, and immediately took Chu fan and came directly to the master of Chu.

At the moment, the old man also stared at Chu fan with a puzzled look. According to his experience, this painting should be authentic. How can Chu fan say it is false?
