Chapter 87 She can, but you can’t
After following Ding Chengyu around in circles, we finally arrived at an independent studio.
Su Man was suspicious. Could Ding Chengyu be a staff member of this exhibition? Or perhaps someone involved in the planning?
Ding Chengyu opened the door to the lounge and said, "Teacher Su, please come in."
There was no one in the room.
Su Man was puzzled: "Cheng Yu, didn't you say that you would bring me to see Master Gu Hong? This is..."
Ding Chengyu smiled mysteriously: "Let's go in and wait. Master Gu Hong will be here soon."
Su Man didn't suspect anything and turned sideways to let the old man go in first. The old man didn't refuse. He glanced at Su Man lightly and walked in.
Ding Chengyu couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Teacher Su, why did you ask for Master Guhong's painting? Are you also his fan?"
"It wasn't like that before, but after coming to the exhibition today and seeing it up close, I guess it will be like that in the future. However, I'm not asking for paintings for myself."
The old man looked at Su Man intentionally or unintentionally, and had been eavesdropping since just now.
Su Man continued: "The elders in my family are fans of Master Gu Hong and are also collectors. Since her birthday is coming soon, I was thinking..."
"Ah, so that's how it is. Teacher Su, you are so filial."
Ding Chengyu closed the door and immediately turned to look at the old man: "Grandpa, can you help my teacher with this?"
"What if I don't help?"
"If you don't help me, I'll make a scene. You don't want me to go crazy at the art exhibition, do you?"
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Unfilial descendants are unfilial descendants! I..."
Before he finished scolding, Ding Chengyu, who was over 1.8 meters tall, collapsed on the sofa and started rolling around.
He rolled over, howling like a ghost: "I don't care! If you don't help Teacher Su, you won't help me! Teacher Su helped me so much in the past, and now I have something to help, but I turn a blind eye and stand by and watch. How will the world view me and our Ding family? Grandpa, you have lost your integrity in your later years!"
Old Man: ...
Suman: ...
The corners of Su Man's mouth twitched. This scene was a bit eye-catching. Why?
The old man had no choice but to look at Su Man, as if he was looking at the culprit. Su Man didn't know what to say, so she just laughed dryly: "Haha, Cheng Yu's way of reasoning is still so different and unique. He is indeed a good dancer."
The old man became even angrier.
What kind of reasoning is this? What does this have to do with him being a good dancer?
Suddenly, Ding Chengyu on the other side of the sofa made a loud "bang" sound.
Ding Chengyu rolled off the sofa and hit the corner of the coffee table in front of the sofa. He was now screaming.
The old man who had been so disgusted just now suddenly changed his expression and hurried over. "Ayu, are you okay? Where did you hit? Don't hit your head! This child is already stupid, what will happen if he hits his head again!"
"grandfather!"
Ding Chengyu hugged his knees and sat up with an angry look on his face.
The old man then said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I promise you, brat."
He looked reluctant, but in fact his eyes were full of heartache for his little grandson.
The old man turned around and went behind the bookcase that covered half of the wall. When he came out, he was holding a picture frame.
"I just finished this painting and haven't shown it to the public yet. Giving it to your elder as a birthday gift is a sign of respect."
Su Man was so surprised that she was speechless. Actually, she had some guesses just now, but she dismissed them because of the reactions of the grandfather and grandson.
I didn’t expect... the grandfather in front of me is really Yun Guhong.
She was so excited that she couldn't speak: "You..."
Yun Guhong waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I'm willing to give you this painting, not because I'm threatened by that brat, but because I don't dislike you."
"Thank you, Master Yun! I will give you the market price you originally planned to set for the painting."
"No money."
"this……"
Ding Chengyu quickly said, "Teacher Su, my grandfather is a man of his word. If he says it's a gift, it's a gift. Please accept it!"
He got up from the ground, patted his pants, and no longer looked crazy, but returned to normal.
"Grandpa, you're so kind. As long as you don't secretly drink alcohol and eat braised pork in the future, I will discuss with grandma and relax your diet."
"You little brat, this has nothing to do with you. Teacher Su is more reliable and more accomplished in art than you. You should improve yourself! You are really bringing shame to our Ding family."
The two sides had a pleasant conversation. Suman received this unexpected surprise and it was impossible for her to be unhappy.
I originally thought that I would return empty-handed, but unexpectedly, after searching high and low for something, I found it without any effort.
After a brief reminiscing, Su Man was about to leave, and Ding Chengyu and Yun Guhong saw her out.
As soon as the door opened, Su Man saw Tao Jinmei and Luo Yan standing outside the door. The people inside and outside the door looked at each other.
"Su Man? You..." Luo Yan looked at Su Man from top to bottom. When she saw the picture frame in her hand that was half her height, carefully wrapped with three thick layers inside and outside, and covered with a thick red velvet cloth, Luo Yan's eyes widened instantly.
Such a treasure must be the authentic work of Master Yun Guhong.
Su Man actually succeeded.
She looked at the old man and the young man behind Su Man, and immediately guessed that the old man was Yun Guhong.
Luo Yan stared at Su Man, a sneer etched on the corner of her lips. She said to Tao Jinmei in a sarcastic tone, "Auntie, it was thanks to us running around and giving people so many benefits that the staff finally revealed that Master Yun Guhong was here. And some people, using the name of Beisheng, actually got things done much more easily than you did, and now they have the painting."
Tao Jinmei frowned slightly and looked at Su Man, no longer having the admiration she had just had.
Mothers are always jealous of their sons.
Especially people like Tao Jinmei who don't have a good relationship with their son are most afraid of other women having a close relationship with their son.
Luo Yan also grasped this point.
She pushed Su Man away and walked into the house. When she passed Ding Chengyu, she thought Ding Chengyu was just an ordinary staff member with little say. She didn't even glance at Ding Chengyu and walked straight towards Yun Guhong.
Ding Chengyu frowned and stepped forward to stop him, but was pushed away by Luo Yan.
Luo Yan said with a very disgusted attitude: "Don't touch me."
"You..." Ding Chengyu was furious.
Luo Yan came in front of Yun Guhong, and her attitude immediately became respectful and humble: "Mr. Yun, we are also here to ask for a painting."
Luo Yan's attitude just now had already greatly reduced Yun Guhong's impression of her. She even pushed his beloved grandson away with such disgust!
Yun Guhong's beard fluttered with anger, and he snorted, "No, no, I won't sell my paintings easily."
"Then why can she?!" Luo Yan pointed at Su Man.
"She can, but you can't."
"Why?" Tao Jinmei rushed in anxiously. "Whatever price she offers, we can double it."
Luo Yan said, "You gave the painting to Miss Su Man because she said she was Xiao Beisheng's wife, right? But you don't know that this is Xiao Beisheng's mother, and this painting is for Old Madam Xiao to celebrate her birthday."
