Chapter 27: Slap Bai Ruolan, bang bang bang
Bai Ruolan was just thinking about how to trick Su Jiuyao. When she heard that she had given Master Mingdeng a painting, she had an idea.
Even Grandpa Gu didn't know Master Mingdeng, so how could she know him? What a joke.
Grandpa Gu quickly said, "Hey, Ruolan, if you want to appreciate the paintings, why not wait until after the banquet..."
"Grandpa, why don't you let everyone admire it in public? Are you afraid that Miss Su gave you a fake?"
This was a bit unpleasant to say, but Grandpa Gu was a straightforward person and didn't take it to heart, but it was still a bit embarrassing.
The old man replied calmly: "What Jiuyao gave me is certainly not a fake."
"Then why don't you let us admire it? You are so stingy!"
Bai Ruolan's words set the pace, and the guest next to her was an old friend of Mr. Gu. They also joined in the fun, saying they wanted to appreciate it.
Gu Hanye frowned unhappily, wanting to help Su Jiuyao block this wave of difficulties, but after a moment of hesitation, he gave up the idea.
If you try to hide some things, they will only make them more obvious.
Since Jiuyao has confidence, he believes her.
If any misunderstanding happens, he can just say that he asked for it and smooth things over. It's no big deal.
Seeing Gu Hanye's unhappy expression, Su Jiuyao thought that he had also determined that the painting was a fake one she had gotten to fool her grandfather, and she couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.
She originally didn't want to be in the spotlight, but she was suddenly excited.
If she continues to be a sheep, won't everyone look down on her and bully her at will?
Even though she had only been a daughter-in-law in the Gu family for half a year, Su Jiuyao was never someone who was willing to be bullied.
She smiled slightly and said, "Since everyone is curious, why don't you unfold it now and take a look, Grandpa."
Grandpa Gu sighed and was about to change the subject, but after Su Jiuyao said that, he had no choice but to put on his reading glasses and nodded to Uncle Qi.
Then Uncle Qi stepped forward and carefully unfolded the painting with another subordinate.
A two-meter-long and half-meter-wide landscape painting slowly unfolded before everyone.
The mountains are majestic and magnificent, the lakes are vast and long, the mountains and waters blend together, and there are also scenes of the simple life of the mountain people. Every detail is worthy of careful appreciation and is simply breathtaking!
Everyone was amazed. Bai Ruolan's face turned pale, but she still didn't believe that this was a masterpiece.
Because it is impossible for a country girl like Su Jiuyao who grew up in the mountains to know the master!
After appreciating it for a while, Grandpa Gu excitedly said to Su Jiuyao: "Child, do you really know Master Mingdeng?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
Bai Ruolan took two steps forward and looked at the painting carefully. Suddenly, she discovered some details. Her eyes lit up and she turned to Su Jiuyao and said:
"I see the ink isn't even dry yet, it must be newly painted. I heard Master Mingdeng only painted in spring and autumn, and it's midsummer now. Miss Su, are you sure this is an authentic work?"
"Miss Bai, do you doubt grandpa's ability to identify?" Su Jiuyao smiled faintly.
I thought to myself, whoever told you that Master Mingdeng only painted in the Spring and Autumn Period was just a rumor.
Su Jiuyao brought Grandpa Gu into the conversation. Bai Ruolan didn't know how to respond for a moment and gritted her teeth in anger.
Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "Although I haven't collected any original paintings, I have seen many. I am very sure that this is the work of Master Ming Deng, and Master Ming Deng did not only paint during the Spring and Autumn Period."
Su Jiuyao nodded in agreement and said to Bai Ruolan, "Miss Bai should listen to less rumors."
There were already many people gathered around at this time, and Bai Ruolan felt her face burning.
And as a result, everyone looked at Su Jiuyao with admiration.
Some people also whispered that to be able to become friends with a great painter, she must be a very talented person. This Miss Su is worthy of being the girl that Young Master Gu fell in love with at first sight. She is indeed both talented and beautiful.
Gu Hanye was in a good mood at this time, and looked at the little woman beside him with great doting.
Unexpectedly, the girl glanced at him arrogantly, as if saying: Master Gu, please don’t look down on others anymore!
Gu Hanye clicked his tongue, little wild cat, so arrogant!
In a quiet corner of the banquet hall, Gu Tianqi, holding a wine glass, witnessed everything that had just happened.
As expected, she was the woman he liked. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had high emotional intelligence, and she simply crushed all the socialites present.
He became more and more fascinated by Su Jiuyao.
The fervent love was revealed in his eyes without any concealment.
Gu Tianqi drank the red wine in the glass and stood up staggeringly.
