Jiang Ruiming immediately came forward and said, "You must be Mr. Purton, I'm sorry for not taking good care of you."
The Pulton family head said in a calm tone, "You are Director Jiang Ruiming, right? Our group has proposed cooperation with Liangchen several times but was rejected. It's a pity."
The old man still remembered this incident. He was very angry when he was rejected. Couldn't he take it out on Hua Jian or hold Jiang Ruiming accountable?
Jiang Ruiming felt a chill on his back because of his sudden aura, and then he looked at Hua Jian for help.
Hua Jian cleared her throat and said, "Godfather, shall we go inside? Director Jiang has displayed all of his treasured works, including Yi Shuang, whom you like so much."
The head of the Purton family snorted lightly and let Jiang Ruiming go, "Let's go."
After he left, Jiang Ruiming smiled sheepishly at Bo Lin and said, "Let's go in, Mr. Bo."
The group walked inside, and Jiang Ruiming followed the head of the Purton family and introduced the paintings from the past.
But Mr. Purton was not interested in these works.
He walked straight in, and Jiang Ruiming and Hua Jian couldn't help but exchange glances.
It seems that the head of the Purton family still wants to collect Yishuang's works.
The people in the gallery were all shrewd people, and their vague gazes were following Hua Jian and his group.
Hua Jian's call of "godfather" was heard by many people.
Presumably, the thin old man in front of him is the owner of the mysterious financial group of Country F - the head of the Pulton family.
"Mr. Pulton, this is the Yishuang Art Studio that Liangchen specially opened. The entire collection includes 16 paintings, including 'Regret'."
When Jiang Ruiming talked about Yi Shuang, his tone was filled with unconcealed admiration and fondness.
The old eyes of the Purton family master slowly slid across these paintings.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on the painting "Regret" facing him.
A year ago, he accidentally saw Janard's copy of "Happiness" at a very ordinary university painting exhibition in Country Y.
Although Janard's talent is mediocre, he has copied 30% of the essence of the original work "Regret".
The head of the Purton family was shocked when he saw her.
Unexpectedly, after reading the original novel "Regret", he realized how superficial he was.
The head of the Purton family walked straight forward with a calm expression. It was not until he stood in front of the painting that he carefully appreciated this work that touched his soul.
The whole painting is in gray, but Mr. Purton vaguely feels that the owner of the painting is giving hope to the future.
Sure enough, when he raised his magnifying glass and looked carefully at the painting in front of him inch by inch, the occasional flashes of bright colors and brushstrokes made him even more amazed.
He guessed right.
Yishuang is a passionate and unyielding person.
This painting, "Regret", was probably painted when he was at the lowest point in his life.
When the head of the Pulton family looked at the lower right corner, he saw the date written on it. It was drawn in the summer of 17 years ago with Haicheng.
When he saw the word "Haicheng", the head of the Pulton family was stunned for a moment.
In other words, the corner of the sea depicted in "Regret" is exactly the same one he saw in Haicheng.
Even he and A Chen had stood on the same beach with Yi Shuang.
The people watching the fun gradually dispersed.
The head of the Purton family stood up and felt a little regretful: "Such a talented person died so young."
Jiang Ruiming's expression was gloomy. "Yes, Senior Sister Yishuang was very enthusiastic about painting. I heard that this painting, "Regret," was the last one she painted before her death."
The head of the Purton family frowned and looked at him: "Yishuang is actually a woman?"
"Yes, Senior Sister Yi Shuang's real name is Hua Ran. Actually, she has the same last name as Hua Jian, but not many people know this."
Jiang Ruiming looked at the painting with a hint of emotion, completely unaware of the shock on Hua Jian's face.
"She only studied until her sophomore year. She painted 'Regret' 17 years ago. By then, she had already dropped out of school for almost a year. I don't know what happened to her at that time. She dropped out so suddenly and then passed away so suddenly..."
Jiang Ruiming is an emotional person. As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and there was even a hint of tears in her voice.
The head of the Purton family sighed silently, but not because of the death of a stranger.
"No wonder Director Jiang was reluctant to part with 'Regret'. It turns out there's another reason behind it."
Jiang Ruiming pulled up his lips somewhat reluctantly. "I've never actually met this senior. Seventeen years ago, I was still in middle school. It's just that a senior I respected was in the same class as Senior Yi Shuang. He pursued her, but the relationship ended in vain. She even died young."
It always feels a bit unlucky to talk about the dead in a festive atmosphere.
Manager Chen behind Jiang Ruiming was already sweating profusely.
"Director? Are you taking the VIP to see other works? Hehe."
"Yes, yes, look at me." Jiang Ruiming immediately came back to his senses. He pointed at the work next to him and said, "Master Pulton, look at this one. This is also the work of Senior Sister Yi Shuang..."
The head of the Purton family followed Jiang Ruiming to the right, and soon only Hua Jian with lowered head and concerned Bo Lin were left there.
"What happened? You look so bad."
"It's okay, I just feel a little weird."
Hua Jian couldn't say anything. He thought to himself: "Is the surname Hua such a common surname in books? Hua Yingrou, a young man, also claimed to be a talented painter. That's how she got to know Xie Cheng."
[However, after she got married, she suddenly injured her hand and stopped writing. It's really... strange.]
Bo Lin frowned as he listened to his thoughts, somewhat confused about what Hua Jian wanted to express.
Or perhaps Hua Jian himself had not yet figured out the strange thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind.
