The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
298: Unexpected Answer
Fu Hong's excitement was not an act.
After all, Jason has never been separated from Fu Hong for such a long time since he was born.
Although Mr. An is Fu Hong's partner, he could not accompany Fu Hong every day before he immigrated. Fu Hong and Jason, mother and son, have been accompanying each other for more than 20 years. Fu Hong has placed so much hope on Jason. Now it is not that Jason cannot live without Fu Hong, but that Fu Hong cannot live without Jason...So even though she knows that Jason may have a better future if he gets close to Gu Jun, Fu Hong will never agree to let Jason stay in Nancheng!
She is the best person to Jason in the world. She has given so much for Jason. Why should Gu Jun just reap the benefits?
Jason didn't struggle when Fu Hong hugged him.
Jason is looking at Mr. An.
Their eyes met in mid-air, Jason's eyes full of confusion.
Didn’t we agree on this?
She had clearly promised him that she would leave Nancheng, but she still brought it to Xu Yao's attention.
My brother said that he would only be happy with his sister-in-law Xu Yao, so why did you come to ruin his life?
Mr. An understood the questioning in Jason's eyes, and his cheeks flushed: It's not that he doesn't keep his word, it's that Fu Hong acted on her own...
Mr. An felt very bitter, but he couldn't tell Jason in public. In the end, he could only lower his head and avoid Jason's sight.
Jason couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or sober.
——It turns out that uncle is not omnipotent, and there are many things he can’t do!
Fu Hong held Jason for a long time without him struggling, and she felt confident. After letting go of Jason, Fu Hong glanced at Gu Jun and Xu Yao and began to brainwash Jason:
"Jason, come back with me. I've planned your next art exhibition for you!"
"South City doesn't have much of an artistic atmosphere. People here place too much emphasis on money. They can buy your paintings but they don't understand them."
"You're still so young. If you want to leave your name in the world of painting, you have to constantly improve your painting skills. There aren't many famous teachers in Nancheng!"
"Didn't your uncle and I immigrate to this country to find a better school and a better teacher for you?"
To be honest, what Fu Hong said is not entirely unreasonable.
Jason's fame abroad was built up by Fu Hong through art exhibitions and news reports.
in the country, it was because Jiang Zhiyan spent tens of millions to buy Jason's paintings.
Jason is not short of talent, but he still has a long way to go compared to those great painters who have truly left their names in the history of painting.
No matter how good the talent is, it will gradually disappear if it is not practiced and improved. Jason really needs to continue to improve.
But will Jason follow Fu Hong and leave Nancheng for these reasons?
Xu Yao doesn’t think so.
After leaving Fu Hong, Jason's overall condition has improved a lot, and Jason himself knows this.
To put it more bluntly, if Fu Hong could provide Jason with the conditions for further study, couldn't Gu Jun provide them? As long as Gu Jun was willing, he could provide Jason with even better conditions for further study! In the past, Xu Yao would not have had such an idea. After a DNA test confirmed that Jason was Gu Jun's biological brother with the same father and mother, Xu Yao felt that Gu Jun would be willing to help Jason become a great painter.
Secretly, Xu Yao also wanted to see how high Jason could go in the world of painting.
Putting aside the relationship between Jason and Gu Jun, Jason and Xu Yao are both from South City. They are of similar age and both started learning painting since childhood. Xu Yao gave up halfway due to family reasons, but Jason persisted... If Jason can achieve great success in painting, Xu Yao will be happy for him!
Xu Yao was just thinking in her heart, but Gu Jun spoke directly:
"Jason, you are an adult now. You make your own decisions about your life."
The rhetoric that Fu Hong used to brainwash Jason, Gu Jun can double the promise.
Art is priceless, but artists are valuable.
Fu Hong didn't have a good family background to rely on. Before leaving the Gu family, she was just an ordinary art teacher. How did she send Jason to study abroad and how did she get to know those famous painting teachers? It was all money!
Fu Hong can use money to buy resources, and Gu Jun can do the same.
No, he can provide more resources than Fu Hong can, because he is much richer than Fu Hong!
Gu Jun didn't use these tactics to tempt Jason.
Ever since he knew Jason was a member of the Gu family, Gu Jun had given up the idea of using Jason. The Gu family was small, and Gu Jun only had this one brother, so how could he treat Jason badly?
I was nice to Jason before because I wanted to alienate the mother-son relationship between Jason and Fu Hong, to make Fu Hong uncomfortable, and to take revenge on her.
Being nice to Jason now is because I hope that Jason can live a better life and have a better life and a freer soul!
Gu Jun just looked at Jason quietly, and there was no need to say many things too directly.
Jason and Gu Jun looked at each other.
——My brother completely opened his heart and accepted him.
——My brother hopes he lives a good life.
——He also hopes that his brother can be happy.
Jason's gaze shifted from Gu Jun to Xu Yao, then to Mr. An, and finally to Fu Hong.
"...Okay, let's leave South City together."
No one expected Jason to make this choice.
Even Fu Hong didn't expect it would be so easy to convince Jason. She had prepared a lot of words but they were not put to use yet!
Then, Fu Hong felt indescribable ecstasy again.
Jason was deceived by Gu Jun, but now after hearing what she said, Jason has come to his senses.
This child was raised by her personally. Unlike the cold-hearted Gu Jun, this child listens to her the most!
Xu Yao was extremely shocked.
Is Jason so easy to fool?
Could this be the legendary PUA technique, where victims of PUA lose all desire to resist when faced with someone who constantly uses PUA on them?!
"Jason..."
Xu Yao had originally not wanted to get involved in Gu Jun's family affairs, but she couldn't help but interrupt at this moment: "It's true that Nancheng doesn't have as much artistic atmosphere as the country you immigrated to, but this is where you grew up. Artistic creation has roots, and this is your root."
No matter what kind of artistic creation, it cannot be separated from "roots".
The famous works of great writers are the areas he is most familiar with, and the famous paintings of great painters are also the subjects he is most familiar with and best at.
A painter who is good at painting figures must have painted many figure models.
A painter who is good at painting landscapes must have eyes that are good at observing nature and will be moved by different landscapes.
Jason grew up in South City. He could learn Western painting techniques, but he couldn't let go of the influence of Eastern culture on him! Once he did, he would be throwing away his advantages, and he would never become a truly top-notch painter.
Xu Yao looked at him, her tone soft but her eyes firm: "Even if you choose to go abroad to continue your studies now, I think you will come back sooner or later. In Nancheng, in your hometown, you can create paintings with your own characteristics."
Xu Yao's words gave Jason a great shock.
Fu Hong has always said that she knows a lot about painting and how to train painters.
But Fu Hong's love for painting is very utilitarian. If Jason does not achieve success in painting, then Jason is a failed painter.
Xu Yao was different. Although she gave up painting halfway through, she loved it from the bottom of her heart. She didn't judge Jason's achievements by fame or money...
Xu Yao understands Jason's paintings and knows what Jason wants.
Jason's eyes warmed.
