262: Fu Hong finally felt scared

Jiang Zhiyan is indeed very generous.

The amount on the check is 10 million!

Gu Jun returned the check to Jason and said, "Keep it. When you give him Black Sea, your deal will be complete."

Gu Jun hadn't paid Jason for the painting "Fate" he'd taken away. Jason didn't know how much his painting was actually worth at the time, so Jiang Zhiyan's check essentially set the price for Jason's work. Jason offered to give Jiang Zhiyan "Black Sea," and Jiang Zhiyan, perhaps embarrassed to accept it for free, included "Black Sea" in his payment.

In Jiang Zhiyan's opinion, one of Jason's paintings is worth 5 million.

Jiang Zhiyan was willing to spend the money, partly because he really liked "Garden", and partly because of his face, right?

So, is Jason's painting worth 5 million?

It may not have been worth it before, but after Jiang Zhiyan spent so much money to buy the painting, it became worth it in the eyes of the public.

…

In a previous interview, Fu Hong angrily called Jiang Zhiyan a liar and accused him of bullying others by taking advantage of his power, but Jiang Zhiyan never responded. As soon as Jiang Zhiyan brought "Garden" back home, he immediately updated his social media status:

"I finally received the painting after placing the order for so long. It costs eight figures."

Jiang Zhiyan didn't take a picture of the content of the painting, but took a picture of Jason's signature.

Just this simple update caused an uproar on the entire social media platform. The onlookers had good memories and immediately remembered that Jiang Zhiyan had been scolded before.

"Is buying a painting for eight figures also considered contract fraud?"

"Who said this painter named Jason has a mental illness? How can someone with a mental illness negotiate an eight-figure deal?"

"Talent and mental illness don't conflict. I can only say that President Jiang is being righteous and not taking advantage of young painters. But I really want to see what kind of work President Jiang bought for that eight-figure sum!"

"Want to see +1"

“It’s great to have money!”

"I want to be as rich as Mr. Jiang, and I'll buy art too!"

Many netizens wanted to see the eight-figure painting, but Jiang Zhiyan remained unmoved. He had already taken the painting home and hidden it away. If he and Tangtang could finally get married, he would hang it in their home. Tangtang wasn't that interested yet, so Jiang Zhiyan could just look at the painting and feel the warmth.

Gu Jun felt that the check for 10 million yuan was a favor, as Jiang Zhiyan had taken into account the value of the gift "Black Sea". In fact, Jiang Zhiyan didn't think that much.

Now, spending 10 million on shopping can hardly bring Jiang Zhiyan much pleasure and excitement. "Garden" can continue to bring him a sense of warmth, and he thinks spending 10 million is worth it!

As a result of Jiang Zhiyan's actions, Jason became famous in the country.

Jason was originally only famous in Europe, and that fame was also due to Fu Hong's operation. It is hard to say how much value he has left after squeezing out the water.

Even if Fu Hong wanted to hype her work abroad, she couldn't get a boss like Jiang Zhiyan, who had both a high net worth and a lot of traffic, to cooperate. Now, without spending a penny or using any connections, she's achieved results far exceeding her expectations. Logically, she should be happy. However, seeing the overwhelming online discussion and netizens digging up other works Jason had exhibited abroad, Fu Hong is not happy at all!

Netizens don’t think there is anything wrong with Jason, nor do they believe that Jiang Zhiyan is bullying others. Netizens now think that Fu Hong is lying.

Why would a mother accept that kind of interview and make her son's illness public?

Netizens advised Fu Hong to remain calm and accept the fact that her son has grown up and become independent.

"Don't be too controlling."

"If a mother doesn't let go of her son, he will easily become a mama's boy~"

"Anyway, it's wrong to casually release my son's medical records!"

When Fu Hong saw the messages online, she was so angry that she almost threw her phone.

These netizens are so ignorant!

They only saw her strength, not the sacrifices she made to raise Jason: her youth, her normal family, and the stigma she still carries.

It's all thanks to her that Jason's paintings can sell for eight figures.

Jason's fame was all thanks to her step-by-step efforts.

The most hateful thing is that Fu Hong still can't contact Jason. Wherever she goes, there are people sent by Gu Jun following her. She wants to ask about Gu Jun, but all the teachers in the school seem to have been drugged and don't say a word!

Fu Hong had held on for so long without collapsing only by holding on with one breath. Seeing the accusations from netizens, Fu Hong couldn't hold on any longer.

Her fingers trembled as she made an international call: "I've had enough, I'm really fed up. I can't find Jason, and I can't do anything about Gu Jun. Come back to South City, come back right away and take us away-"

The man on the other end of the phone interrupted Fu Hong: "I know where Lin Sen is."

Fu Hong was excited, "How do you know if he contacted you?"

"Well, he asked me to send him 'Black Sea', so he gave me the address."

The man's voice was filled with worry. "The address he gave me is the old townhouse."

The old townhouse?

Fu Hong didn't believe it: "Impossible, I went there to find him!"

"Have you come into the house?"

The man's words made Fu Hong frown: "That community only allows residents to enter. I couldn't get into the house."

If you're not the owner, you have to know the owner inside and register at the door to get in. However, when Fu Hong lived in the community, she had little contact with her neighbors. She said she was not a visitor to anyone's house, and the property management could expose her lie with a phone call.

When Fu Hong immigrated, she never thought about coming back. She didn't even leave the contact information of the new owner of the townhouse.

"You can't enter the house, but Lin Sen can live in it. What do you think is the reason?"

The man's words upset Fu Hong, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't make me guess."

"I managed to contact the family who bought your house. The house is no longer in their name. Shortly after Lin Sen returned to South City, the house was bought by someone at a price higher than the market price. The new owner let Lin Sen live in it. Who do you think the new owner is?"

The man had said it so bluntly, Fu Hong would be a fool if she couldn't guess it.

"The new owner is Gu Jun?!"

That townhouse was not so expensive when Fu Hong immigrated. Five or six years later, the housing prices in South City have more than doubled.

Gu Jun could easily buy such an expensive house.

Gu Jun can also shut up all the teachers.

The female bodyguard sent by Gu Jun.

Fu Hong finally realized that when Gu Jun said in the cemetery, "I want you to lose everything you have now," he was not just bluffing, and he might really have the ability to do so.

"No, it's impossible..."

Fu Hong was still struggling: "I don't believe he is that powerful. How can he have such wealth and status? He has no help at all!"

The man on the other end of the phone was more rational and advised Fu Hong to leave Nancheng immediately.

Gu Jun didn't seem to have any ill will towards Jason. Jason had gained fame in China thanks to Jiang Zhiyan. Fu Hong would return abroad first, and then he would slowly persuade Jason to come back.

This was the best solution, but Fu Hong was unwilling to do it.

Fu Hong had a vague suspicion that if she left Jason alone in South City, she would lose her most outstanding son forever. This was Gu Jun's revenge. Gu Jun knew what she cared about, and he wanted to snatch away the talented painter she had trained!

"I can't leave Jason alone in South City. If you want to leave, let's leave together... Come back, come back and help me. Jason will listen to you."
