Gu Jueye nodded slightly, his whole demeanor elegant and composed, tall and graceful, always standing out like the most dazzling star in the crowd.
Feeling a gaze fixed on him, Gu Jueye looked at the other person with a cold expression.
She was a tall, beautiful woman.
The other person smiled slightly at him and slowly walked towards him.
"Aunt Gu!"
"Xiuxiu, come here, let me introduce you. This is my son, Gu Jueye. You are about the same age, and young people must have a lot in common. By the way, Jueye, Xiuxiu is very accomplished in painting, and she is also proficient in medicine and various other talents. She is a rare treasure girl."
"Aunt Gu, I'm not as good as you say."
"Don't be modest. You're beautiful, capable, and multi-talented. Any man who marries you is truly blessed."
When Qin Lin said this, she deliberately glanced at Gu Jueye.
Gu Jueye didn't even blink, remaining calm, composed, and silent.
Song Qing, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing.
"The exhibition is about to start, let's go in first."
"Then let's go see the exhibits first."
Huo Xiuxiu glanced at Gu Jueye and said to Qin Lin, "Teacher Ye Bai has arrived. I'll introduce him to everyone after the exhibition ends."
Qin Lin's pupils widened, her face filled with surprise and delight: "That's wonderful! A-Ye also admires Ye Bai very much. This time, we can finally meet the real Ye Bai."
"Miss Huo, do you know Ye Bai?"
Gu Jueye finally looked at Huo Xiuxiu properly.
Huo Xiuxiu thought that Gu Jueye's interest had been piqued by Ye Bai, and this topic could help bring the two of them closer.
She slowed her pace and walked alongside Gu Jueye.
"To be honest, Ye Bai is my teacher. My achievements in painting are all thanks to his guidance."
Gu Jueye showed great interest.
"Ye Bai has always kept a very low profile and never appeared in front of outsiders. Why is he willing to show up today?"
Huo Xiuxiu smiled faintly: "My teacher used to live alone abroad and never liked crowded places. He was only focused on painting. He originally didn't want to show up today, but China is his motherland and he has feelings for it. After my persuasion, he finally agreed."
Gu Jueye smiled and said, "That's all thanks to Miss Huo."
"Actually, the Gu family and the Huo family were old friends. Later, the Huo family moved abroad, and the two families lost contact. My grandfather's biggest wish now is to reconnect with the Gu family. If Mr. Gu doesn't mind, I'll call you A-Ye from now on, and you can call me by my name, how about that?"
Gu Jueye gave a light snort.
"I don't know if our families are old friends, but this is actually the first time Miss Huo and I have met today!"
Huo Xiuxiu's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly masked it.
But a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Gu Jueye is really stubborn; it seems I'll need to put in some effort to win him over.
However, when it comes to conquering men, Huo Xiuxiu has never lost!
She was confident that she would eventually tame Gu Jueye completely!
"Ah Ye!" Qin Lin winked at him.
How can you talk to a girl like that?
“Aunt Gu, it’s alright. What Mr. Gu said is true. We’ve only met for the first time today, and it would indeed be abrupt to call a girl by her name when we’re not familiar with each other yet. Mr. Gu is just thinking of me.”
Huo Xiuxiu's words not only helped Gu Jueye out of the predicament, but also eased her own embarrassment.
A clever double entendre!
Gu Jueye thought to himself, no wonder Huo Xiuxiu is able to manage half of the Huo family's business at such a young age, this woman is not simple!
Seeing how understanding Huo Xiuxiu was, Qin Lin became even more convinced that this girl was the right one.
I think Huo Xiuxiu is not only beautiful and from a good family, but also very smart and sensible.
She's a virtuous wife and loving mother, far superior to that rude Bai Qianmo!
By this time, the group had reached the second-floor exhibition hall.
Huo Xiuxiu greeted the staff, and they were immediately led to the VIP area.
This area is separated from the regular viewing area, and the overall viewing experience is clearer.
The first item on display is a white jade vase with blue and white porcelain, an exquisite official kiln piece and one of the museum's treasures.
Several more exhibits were then added, each one a priceless item.
There are antiques as well as works by contemporary masters.
The exhibition lasted for two hours, with each piece accompanied by a professional explanation.
At this moment, the guide stands on the stage and begins to announce the last piece, which is also the highlight of today's exhibition.
"I imagine many painters from the art world, as well as numerous art enthusiasts and journalists, are here today because the second work by our internationally renowned painter, Mr. Ye Bai, entitled 'Starry Sea,' will be on display at this museum..."
As the guide finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Ye Bai has gained a very high reputation in the art world in recent years, and many of his loyal fans came to the scene today.
Those who can sit here are all friends who are well-versed in art, and their status and manners are not bad.
Even when one is excited and enthusiastic, one will still retain the proper demeanor of a scholar.
Therefore, applause became the best welcome and response.
After a thunderous round of applause, two hostesses dressed in cheongsams gracefully walked onto the stage.
