Chapter 26 Call him "Aye"

Gu Hanye brought Su Jiuyao to his grandfather, and they both wished him a happy birthday.

Grandpa Gu looked at his eldest grandson and his well-behaved and pretty granddaughter-in-law with a smile on his face, nodding repeatedly, very satisfied.

"Han Ye, you finally got it!"

"It's just that I haven't met the right person before." Gu Hanye smiled and glanced at the little woman beside him.

Su Jiuyao's face turned slightly red, and she thought to herself, this guy is good at acting in front of the elders.

Afterwards, Su Jiuyao presented the gift personally and said respectfully to Grandpa Gu:

"I heard that Grandpa likes Master Mingdeng's paintings, so I asked for one to give to you. I hope you like it."

As soon as Grandpa heard the name Master Mingdeng, his eyes lit up.

But then he thought that this was impossible. How could this young granddaughter-in-law know Master Mingdeng?

This girl grew up in Mingchan Temple, but Master Mingdeng had long since retired. Mingchan Temple is very popular, so the master would not choose that place.

Moreover, apart from a small amount of Master Mingdeng's works being auctioned and the proceeds being used to repair ancient buildings, the rest were given to close friends.

If this girl really knows Master Mingdeng, would she be his close friend?

When I think about it this way, it seems even more impossible.

"Jiuyao is so thoughtful. Come on, Lao Qi, help me put it away."

Grandpa is willing to believe that Su Jiuyao's heart is sincere, but she was just deceived.

If it were unfolded on the spot, I'm afraid there might be someone present who understands painting, and it would not look good if it was exposed.

Su Jiuyao didn't expect that her grandfather didn't open it immediately, but then she understood that his grandfather probably suspected that the painting was not real.

It doesn’t matter. When grandpa returns to the study and looks at the painting, he will naturally know that this is the original.

Gu Hanye on the side was also a little surprised. That day she went to the mountains and asked her friend for a painting, but she didn't expect that the painting she asked for was the work of Master Mingdeng.

Gu Hanye was also a little bit unbelievable, but Su Jiuyao had done more than one thing that surprised him, so it was not impossible.

At this time, a clear and pleasant female voice came from the crowd.

"Grandpa, you got this masterpiece from a famous artist, but you kept it for yourself. Aren't you reluctant to let us appreciate it?"

Su Jiuyao looked over when she heard the voice and saw a beautiful woman in a red dress walking towards her. She had bright makeup and eyeliner, which gave her a fierce and domineering aura.

Su Jiuyao lives in the mountains all year round, but she is not out of touch with the outside world.

She recognized the person at a glance. Wasn't she Bai Ruolan, the winner of the last Wanhua Film Awards?

Grandpa cleared his throat and changed the subject with a smile.

"Ruolan, you haven't come to see grandpa for a long time!"

"Grandpa, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains." As she said this, Bai Ruolan presented a gift.

It was an exquisite walking stick with intricate carvings on the top, which showed that it was a high-quality product.

"Hurry up and replace your old cane!" Bai Ruolan said with a smile.

Grandpa accepted it with a smile, but did not replace the old cane in his hand.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Bai Ruolan's face.

Su Jiuyao carefully observed the cane in her grandfather's hand. It looked plain and simple, but it was not an ordinary thing. In terms of value, it could easily buy Bai Ruolan's cane for a hundred or eighty.

It seems that Bai Ruolan doesn't know what's good. She once claimed on a show that she was good at appreciating antiques, but it turns out she was just fooling people.

At this time, Bai Ruolan turned to look at Gu Hanye, put away her previous arrogance, and smiled gently, with a bit of shyness.

"Aye."

Su Jiuyao couldn't help but wonder, seeing the affectionate look on his face, could it be his ex-lover?

Gu Hanye nodded and smiled, "Hello, Miss Bai."

Su Jiuyao glanced at Gu Hanye, so polite!

Could it be that Bai Ruolan is just wishful thinking?

Bai Ruolan was quite embarrassed. Before this, she had expressed her affection to Gu Hanye many times, but was always rejected politely.

She never gave up and took the initiative to find an opportunity to have dinner with Gu Hanye.

Gu Hanye did go twice, but she later found out that Gu Hanye went there because of the face of her company's boss, and he also brought two friends with him.

This was a big blow to Bai Ruolan. She was a top star. In terms of appearance and talent, how was she lacking?

In other words, his family background is not very good, and his parents are both working class.

But she debuted as a child star at the age of 8, and has relied on her own efforts to get to where she is today. Isn't such a diligent and motivated girl worthy of love?

Is it because Su Jiuyao was born in a big family, even if it was a declining family, even if Su Jiuyao grew up in the mountains, never went to school for a day, and has no special talents, that she is more qualified than Bai Ruolan to be Gu Hanye's woman?

When Bai Ruolan thought of this, she felt heartbroken and she had to embarrass this so-called daughter of the Su family.

"I heard that the gift Miss Su just gave was a painting by Master Ming Deng. Can we appreciate it too?"
