Genius Wife Is Naughty Again Chapter 126


    Old Mr. Collins nced at J and Emily indifferently before he smiled and said to Jade, “Jade, I


    heard that you received a special gift today.”Hearing this, Jade smiled and replied, “Yes, I did. Look,


    this is a gift that my granddaughter gave me. As a teacher, what do you think?”Old Mr. Collins didn’t


    n to hide his intentions so with a smile, he said, “I’m not going to lie. The only reason I came over


    today was to look at this painting.”“Really? How are you so well-informed?” Jade asked jokingly.As


    Jade pulled out the painting J gave her, she warned, “Old Mr. Collins, you have to be careful. This


    is a gift from my granddaughter so you must not damage it!”With a curious expression, Old Mr. Collins


    wondered, What kind of a painting would make her feel so nervous?When the guests heard Jade


    praise and protect her granddaughter, all of them mocked her. “Grandma Jade, don’t show him J’s

    painting! It’s embarrassing!” “He’s right. Old Mr. Collins doesn’t really care about it. Why are you


    treating it like it’s treasure?” “What a joke. Old Mr. Collins’s painting skills are much better than J’s.”


    “If I were him, I wouldn’t even bother looking at it. After all, it’s only a copy so how great can it


    be?”Shirley joined them and said, “Mom! Don’t take it out and disgrace the Jackson family! If I were


    you, I would’ve directly thrown that painting into the trash can.”However, Jade was unbothered by their


    words. Instead, she said to Old Mr. Collins, “If my granddaughter’s painting is not that good, please


    don’t be too rough on her!” “Jade, you’re being too serious!” Old Mr. Collins said politely. Even though


    he knew that J had a bad temper and character, her painting skills were definitely not inferior to


    any of the students in his art academy. With that, Old Mr. Collins carefullyid out J’s painting. As


    soon as he saw the style of the painting, he waspletely taken aback.Whether it was the use of


    colors, theyout, or the poem in ck ink, all of them were simr to Master Nato’s style. No wonder


    Leroy was so anxious to let me appraise it. However, when his gaze moved toward the bottom right of


    the painting, he felt slightly disappointed because it didn’t have Master Nato’s exclusive seal. Everyone


    in the art industry knew Master Nato’s style. Whether it was a small orrge painting, Master Nato


    would always stamp on his exclusive seal at the bottom. However, the style and level of painting skills


    was no different from Master Nato’s.Moreover, it wasn’t possible for it to be a copy. After all, no matter


    how hard a person tried, they could only copy the painting but not the painting style. Every person had


    a different and one-of-a-kind painting style so Old Mr. Collins could only think of one possibility…“J,


    are you Master Nato’s apprentice?” Old Mr. Collins asked J in shock. J shook her head with a


    nk expression but she smiled inwardly. As soon as Old Mr. Collins finished his sentence, everyone


    present burst intoughter.Shirley sneered, “Oh my, it seems that Old Mr. Collins’s standards aren’t that


    high after all. Can’t you tell that it’s a copy? Are you blind?”“Shirley!” Jade sternly shouted at her. How


    can Shirley speak to Old Mr. Collins like that? Everyone looked at Jade and Old Mr. Collins with


    mocking smiles on their faces. “Shirley’s right. Can’t Old Mr. Collins see that this painting is a copy?”“It


    is such a simple copy that even my three-year-old son would be able to do it!” “Hahaha, Old Mr. Collins


    is probably getting old and confused!” “No wonder he’s in such a hurry to look for apprentices. Perhaps


    in a few years, he won’t be able to ept apprentices anymore!” Old Mr. Collins was not annoyed by


    the ridicule of the crowd. Instead, he calmly said, “It seems that all of you are professionals in painting!


    Laymen like you can’t tell the difference. Even though it is possible to copy the shape and colors of the


    painting, it’s impossible to copy painting styles! Have you ever seen two people with the same painting


    style?” Upon hearing this, the voices around him instantly stopped and nobody could rebuke him. Jade


    stood up and with a shocked expression, she asked, “Old Mr. Collins, are you saying that this painting


    was painted by Master Nato herself?”
