At this moment, Elder Bai led Bai Yitang in.
I happened to overhear the complaints from the crowd.
The old man looked around. Although there were some paintings on display in the huge exhibition hall, none of them were Ye Bai's works.
"I knew that old fox was greedy for money. He actually wanted to use Ye Bai's name to make money. No way, Ye Bai's reputation can't be ruined by him."
"Grandpa, please don't interfere. Perhaps Ye Bai and Grandpa Tang had already discussed this beforehand. Otherwise, Ye Bai wouldn't have agreed to hold the art exhibition in his own name."
"What do you know? Ye Bai isn't that kind of person." Old Bai glared at him.
He would beat up anyone who dared to speak ill of his granddaughter.
Bai Yitang frowned, puzzled: "Why are you so angry? You don't even know Ye Bai. Do you know what you look like right now?"
Old Bai glared at him. "What do you mean?"
"Hehe, just like those brainless fans who chase after celebrities."
With a sharp "bang," the cane struck Bai Yitang's calf without hesitation, causing him to wince and gasp in pain.

"Mr. Bai, you've arrived."
A middle-aged man walked over. This man was Tang Qianli, the grandson of Old Tang. Compared to Old Tang, who was a cunning and shrewd old fox, his grandson was quite likable.
Mr. Bai had a very good impression of Tang Qianli. Just like his name suggests, he was a gentleman, gentle and refined, and well-versed in classical music and ancient literature.
Now, I'm learning from Mr. Tang, and I have a great deal of respect for his expertise in appreciating antiques and calligraphy.
Old Tang doted on his eldest grandson the most and often took him with him.
When Bai Lao saw Tang Qianli, a smile appeared on his face.
This is the kind of child people often envy. Old Tang must have done something wonderful in his past life to have such an outstanding grandson.
Then she thought of her two grandsons, both of whom were irresponsible and not at all reliable.
They can't compare to Xiao Tang.
Thinking of this, Old Bai felt a sense of imbalance.
But then I thought, although my two grandsons aren't as outstanding as Xiao Tang's, he still has a granddaughter.
The thought of Elder Tang trying to find a way to take Qianmo as his disciple instantly dispelled the little shadow in Elder Bai's heart.
He even became somewhat smug.
His own granddaughter is outstanding; even if the Tang family had ten Tang Qianlis, they couldn't compare.
Thinking about it this way, I felt more at ease, and even felt that I could outdo Tang Wanli.
"Where is your grandfather?"
"Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Qin just arrived. My grandfather invited them to the lounge. He said you should be arriving soon and asked me to wait for you here."
Both Elder Gu and Elder Qin have arrived?
It seems they also want to see Ye Bai's true face.
Old Bai nodded and followed Tang Qianli through the gallery hall, up to the second floor, to the VIP lounge.
"By the way, Qianli, why aren't there any of Ye Bai's paintings on display in the exhibition hall?"
Tang Qianli walked respectfully beside Elder Bai.
"Grandpa said that Ye Bai's works are a bit special to appreciate. Hanging them on the wall might damage them, so they will be put on display later for people to see."
Old Bai immediately understood.
Qianmo's paintings all use special techniques, and their lifelike and vivid effects can only be seen under specific lighting conditions. Hanging them on the wall would affect the light projection, so it is more appropriate to display them on an exhibition stand.
Now that he was certain that Elder Tang wasn't using Ye Bai's reputation to make money, Elder Bai felt relieved.
As Mr. Bai entered the VIP lounge, the air was filled with the pleasant aroma of sandalwood.
The room was decorated in an antique style, with tables, chairs, and cabinets made of high-quality Phoebe zhennan wood. At this moment, three elderly gentlemen were sitting together enjoying tea.
Wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner, filling the room with a refreshing fragrance that instantly relaxed the mind.
"Old Bai is here."
"You three seem to be in high spirits," Old Bai said with a smile as he stepped forward.
Old Tang gestured for him to enter.
After Elder Bai sat down, Elder Gu glanced at him.
"It seems Brother Bai is also a fan of Ye Bai."
"Hehe, I wouldn't call her a fan." After all, she's my granddaughter.
"Old Bai, stop pretending. You still have Ye Bai's painting 'Clouds and Mountains in Mist and Rain' in your collection. Some people say you and Ye Bai have a very close personal relationship, and it seems to be true," Old Qin said with a smile.
Old Bai remained silent, only smiling slightly.
"It's already eight o'clock, why hasn't Ye Bai himself appeared yet?" Old Qin glanced at the time, looking slightly anxious.
He was an impatient person. When he learned that he would be able to meet Ye Bai in person today, he appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.
"Don't worry, let me call her and ask where she is."
Old Tang took out his old-fashioned mobile phone, searched for a while, and then dialed a number.
On the other side
On the bus
Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan sat in the back seat of the car, while Chen Xiang drove.
"Go to the Tang Family Exhibition Hall."
"Oh, I heard that Ye Bai is having an art exhibition over there today," Chen Xiang interjected.
Su Peishan laughed and said, "You're still focused on the art world, huh?"
"Don't let my background in finance fool you. I actually studied art for seven years and have been keeping an eye on the art world for the past two years. Ye Bai's reputation in the art world is already legendary, and I'm one of his biggest fans."
"Is Ye Bai really that amazing?" Su Peishan's curiosity was piqued.
He turned to look at Bai Qianmo, who was resting with her eyes closed.
"Qianmo, I remember that Grandpa Bai also seems to like Ye Bai very much. He even has Ye Bai's works in his collection. How much do you know about Ye Bai? Have you ever met him in person?"
Bai Qianmo slowly opened her eyes; she had been thinking about things the whole way.
Since Fifth Brother left, he hasn't called her even once.
I wonder how he is doing now.
As for Ye Yun, there is no news yet; she just needs to wait and see.
The most important thing right now is to hold today's art exhibition as scheduled.
She was held hostage by Ruan Mengfan, which delayed her a lot of time. Last night, she stayed up late and painted two more works.
Including the painting for Mr. Tang, she should be the first to hold an exhibition with three paintings.
However, given Ye Bai's fame, it's more appropriate to keep things to a minimum, as it better suits his low-key and mysterious identity.
Seeing that Bai Qianmo didn't say anything, Su Peishan assumed that she was still traumatized by the alien abduction and hadn't recovered from the experience, so she stopped bothering her.
I was just curious, why did Qianmo go to the Tang family exhibition hall?
Are they also going to visit Ye Bai's art exhibition?
