"As everyone knows, Xia Hewan is an impressionist painter who excels in landscape paintings. She usually visits natural sites in person before painting, and sketches based on the real scenes she observes. At different times and in different seasons, when the Sun hangs in the same position, the light and shadows it casts are different."
However, in this painting, the light and shadows on the "Spring" and "Autumn" sides are almost the same in length and intensity. It's clear that the imitator only copied the surface and failed to grasp the true craftsmanship and essence of the artist, making the fake quite obvious."
Her assertion was confident and well-reasoned, leaving the guests at the event momentarily startled.
All were lords, ladies, young masters, and young misses from prominent families, each with a certain aesthetic insight. What he said... seemed to make sense.
"There's some truth to it~"
"Upon closer look, this painting really isn't as exquisite as Xia Hewan's other works..."

Ye Xian crossed his arms. "I may not understand, but even an outsider like me can spot the improper handling of light and shadows. Could Xia Hewan, a nationally renowned artist, possibly overlook this detail?"
"That, that's because..."
Cheng Jingshu's eyes darted around, her mind scrambling as she tried to formulate an argument to refute his ridiculous theory.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Bo interrupted her, "Jingshu, you might really have been deceived and ended up buying a counterfeit."
"What?" Cheng Jingshu couldn't believe it, looking innocently at Mr. Bo, "Uncle, it's not possible, I..."
