Chapter 96 Ruan Liuzheng: There are no men here, no one will support you
A week later, in the largest gallery in Yuncheng.
Mr. Wen Jiming's painting exhibition arrived as scheduled.
Ruan Liuzheng got out of the car, handed the invitation letter to the waiter at the door, and then entered the gallery.
Originally, Xie Qingcen should have come with Ruan Liuzheng, but Xie Qingcen had some urgent matters at the company, and he knew Ruan Liuzheng's expertise and her admiration for Mr. Wen.
Xie Qingcen knew that Ruan Liuzheng definitely didn't want to be late for the exhibition, so Xie Qingcen called Ruan Liuzheng in advance and asked Ruan Liuzheng to come over first.
Ruan Liuzheng did not refuse to stay, because Xie Qingcen had already guessed her thoughts.
If I really say something like waiting, I'm afraid Xie Qingcen will just think it's hypocritical.
Ruan Liuzheng strolled through the gallery slowly, carefully examining every painting on the wall with his cold eyes.
People kept coming and going around her, but she never stopped for a moment.
Suddenly, Ruan Liuzheng's pupils shrank, and his cold eyes looked straight ahead, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
She finally found a painting that made her eyes light up.
It’s not that Mr. Wen’s paintings are bad, but because Ruan Liuzheng admires Mr. Wen, he has studied Mr. Wen’s painting style in depth.
Along the way, all Ruan Liuzheng saw were paintings of the same style and brushwork as Mr. Wen's previous works, with no innovation.
No matter how much Ruan Liuzheng admired Mr. Wen, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, when she thought she would return disappointed, Mr. Wen would give her such a surprise.
Mr. Wen is still Mr. Wen after all. He never seeks fame or reputation. Even if people praise him a lot, Mr. Wen never stops.
Ruan Liuzheng stopped in front of a painting. She folded her arms across her chest and looked straight at the painting in front of her with her cold eyes. Her beautiful eyebrows were full of admiration and amazement.
She was so absorbed in appreciating the painting in front of her that she forgot about her surroundings for a moment.
I was only focused on picturing in my mind the scene, mood and brushwork of Mr. Wen when he was painting.
Ruan Liuzheng is never blindly confident, and she never denies that there are people in the world who are stronger than her.
Admiration for the strong can make people progress and prevent her from being like a frog in a well, looking at the world from the bottom of the well.
Ruan Liuzheng had a faint smile on her lips, tapped her arm with her fingertips, and her eyes were bright.
She lowered her eyes and glanced at the auction price below the painting, and some thoughts instantly came to her mind.
She raised her eyes and looked at the painting in front of her again, and the speed of her fingertips tapping gradually increased.
Finally, she waved to the waiter beside her and began to ask the price in a low voice.
Not far away, Bai Huanqing came with a pretty woman. They talked and laughed as they walked slowly towards Ruan Liuzheng.
"How much is this painting? Wrap it up for me. I want it."
Bai Huanqing was the first to see Ruan Liuzheng. She let go of the woman's arm, walked quickly forward, looked at the painting in front of her, and said with a smile.
The sudden voice instantly interrupted the conversation between Ruan Liuzheng and the waiter.
Ruan Liuzheng frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, a hint of annoyance flashing across his eyes.
Bai Huanqing seemed to have just discovered Ruan Liuzheng. She raised the corners of her lips in surprise and said in a friendly tone, "Sister Liuzheng, what a coincidence! How come I meet you here?"
"but…"
Bai Huanqing changed the subject, her eyes showing some worry, "Why do you have an invitation to Mr. Wen's exhibition? Aren't you and Brother Yanci divorced?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of disgust flashed in the eyes of the woman next to her, and the look she gave Ruan Liuzheng gradually became more contemptuous.
Ruan Liuzheng's expression paused, she glanced at the woman beside Bai Huanqing with a faint look, her brows slightly furrowed.
She pursed her lips and said nothing, but looked indifferently at Bai Huanqing who was gossiping, "Miss Bai is too nosy."
"Do I have anything to do with you? Do I need to report my affairs to you?"
Ruan Liuzheng's voice was light, and there was a hint of chill in her cold tone.
Bai Huanqing immediately felt aggrieved.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Sister Liu Zheng, I'm also worried that you'll go astray. After all, you're still the ex-wife of Brother Yan Ci. If the news gets out..."
Ruan Liuzheng sneered.
She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Bai Huanqing with disdain, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.
Bai Huanqing is as hypocritical as ever. She still likes to deceive others with her weak and innocent appearance. She is exactly like her mother.
Unfortunately, Fu Yanci was not present at the scene, and Bai Huanqing's weakness would ultimately be in vain.
Ruan Liuzheng's expression turned cold. "That's my own business. It's not your Bai family's reputation that's being ruined."
"You probably aren't married to Fu Yanci yet. You're interfering in the Fu family's affairs so early. I wonder if you think the daughter of the Bai family is eager to get married?"
Ruan Liuzheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked at Bai Huanqing with a smile, his beautiful eyes and eyebrows tinged with a hint of teasing.
The look in his eyes was extremely ironic.
Bai Huanqing's eyes darkened.
A hint of gloom flashed across the pure and moving face.
She gritted her teeth and stared at Ruan Liuzheng with a slightly cold look, as if she wanted to eat her.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and blinked her clear eyes, which were instantly filled with tears. "Sister Liu Zheng, how can you say that? I am also thinking about you..."
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at her indifferently, with a hint of impatience in her eyes. She said coldly, "I don't want to waste time talking to irrelevant people! Bai Huanqing, put away your pitiful look. There are no men here, and no one will support you."
After saying that, Ruan Liuzheng turned to look at the waiter beside him and said, "Please help me pack this painting. I bought it."
The waiter nodded, reached out to give Ruan Liuzheng an invoice, and instructed Ruan Liuzheng to pay the bill.
Just as Ruan Liuzheng took out his credit card and prepared to pay, the woman standing next to Bai Huanqing finally couldn't help it.
She suddenly stepped forward, interrupting Ruan Liuzheng's movements, and said in a haughty manner, "Miss, didn't you hear that this painting has been bought by Huanqing?"
"If you don't have the ability, then don't try to be brave enough to show off."
Xie Wanning frowned and looked at Ruan Liuzheng with dissatisfaction, her eyes full of disgust.
From beginning to end, she never looked at Ruan Liuzheng once. She raised her snow-white swan-like neck high, with her eyes high above her head, and did not take Ruan Liuzheng seriously at all.
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her lips. She crossed her arms and said leisurely, "Do you know what first come, first served means?"
"Before you came, I had already finalized the purchase intention with the waiter. It was your arrival that interrupted our conversation. This is the first time I've seen someone speak so confidently about being unreasonable."
Ruan Liuzheng chuckled twice, walked around Xie Wanning in front of her, picked up the credit card and swiped it on the POS machine in the waiter's hand.
When she saw the words "Transaction Successful" on it, she turned around and said, "This painting is mine now. If you want it, you can make an offer. If I'm satisfied, I might even reluctantly give it up and make it happen for you."
Xie Wan Ning's face suddenly turned ugly, the corners of her lips were tight, and the anger in her eyes was undisguised.
She patted Bai Huanqing beside her comfortingly, then looked up at Ruan Liuzheng with disdain, "You are a shameful mistress, what qualifications do you have to challenge me? Believe it or not, I can make you a discarded child and despised by others with just a flick of my finger."
Ruan Liuzheng frowned and glanced at the arrogant woman in front of him with a cold expression, "She is indeed Bai Huanqing's friend. She is simply birds of a feather."
Xie Wan Ning was furious, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment, "Ever since Huan Qing came here, she has been advising you, thinking of you with good intentions, what right do you have to insult her like this!"
"No wonder you were abandoned. If I were a man, I wouldn't like a vicious and rude woman like you. You don't even have the most basic self-restraint. It's a pity that you were Fu Yanci's wife before."
Before Ruan Liuzheng could speak, Bai Huanqing gently tugged at Xie Wanning, "Wanning, don't be like this. Sister Liuzheng may not have done it on purpose. Don't be angry."
"That incident was my fault anyway. I'll look somewhere else."
Bai Huanqing smiled gently at Xie Wanning. His clear eyes were full of tolerance and magnanimity, but there was a hint of success in his eyes.
Xie Wan Ning was born into the Xie family, one of the top families in Yuncheng. Although it was only a side branch, she still had Xie family blood in her veins.
The resources and connections she has are definitely not comparable to those of an ordinary wealthy daughter.
It took a lot of effort for her mother to get in touch with Xie Wan Ning and become friends with her.
These days, she has been trying her best to please Xie Wan Ning, hoping to use Xie Wan Ning to take revenge on Ruan Liu Zheng.
Finally, hard work paid off and Xie Wan Ning took the bait.
And that idiot Ruan Liuzheng actually came to the door on her own initiative. It must be that God was helping her.
Bai Huanqing held Xie Wanning's arm, her brows slightly frowned, and a smug smile appeared in her clear eyes.
But when Xie Wan Ning saw this look, it instantly took on another meaning.
She held Bai Huanqing's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Without this painting, how can you go to Professor Wen's birthday party? Huanqing, you are too kind, so you let those unpresentable bitches take advantage of you."
"Don't worry, with me here, this painting will never be ruined by others. It will definitely be yours."
Xie Wan Ning spoke sincerely and glared at Ruan Liuzheng fiercely as she spoke, her eyes becoming more and more resentful.
Her father is a promiscuous man.
Since she was a child, she has often seen her mother being provoked by the women her father kept outside, although in the end those women were dealt with by her mother.
But Xie Wan Ning still couldn't help feeling disgusted.
What she hated most was this kind of self-degrading woman.
Although he has hands and feet, he chooses to do shameful things and shamelessly destroys other people's families.
This kind of person is born to be punished.
