"Lin Zhibai, how much influence do you have? This is a serious crime that could land her in jail," Yun Suiwan scoffed.
“Wanwan… your grandpa is alright, isn’t he?” Lin Zhibai replied, “Consider it a favor I owe you.”
“Grandpa is Lu Dongjue’s grandfather, you go and talk to him.”
“I called him, and he said he’ll listen to you.”
“Listen to me, I won’t let her get away with this,” Yun Suiwan replied immediately.
"Wanwan..." Lin Zhibai sighed softly, almost imperceptibly.
Yun Suiwan was also annoyed.
But as she calmed down and thought about it, she realized that Lin Zhibai had actually treated her quite well.
It's not that we can't give him face.
"Lin Zhibai, I hope you won't regret this." Yun Suiwan hung up the phone.
Gu's mother heard about this very quickly, from the nanny.
She put down her coffee cup and breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of Lin Zhibai is now considered closed.
"Madam, Mr. Murong has arrived." The butler brought Murong Mo to Madam Gu.
Mother Gu smiled slightly: "Where did you and Fan Yan meet today?"
“I’ll take Fanyan to the art exhibition,” Murong Mo replied.
“Going to art exhibitions is good,” said Gu’s mother. “Artists must have very rich and colorful lives. I also hope that you can bring more new things to Yan’er.”
“I will, Auntie.” Murong Mo nodded.
With a look of satisfaction, Gu's mother watched Murong Mo and Gu Fanyan depart.
"This Mr. Murong is very polite and seems to have excellent upbringing," the nanny said.
"That's right, I've already asked around, and he's a very good match for cigarettes in every way." Mrs. Gu nodded in satisfaction.
This art exhibition is a joint effort by several painters from both China and abroad, and it has a significant impact.
Tickets are not for sale to the public and are by invitation only.
Therefore, being invited to this art exhibition is something to be proud of.
Not long after Gu Fanyan arrived, she saw Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan walk in together.
“I’ll see you two together everywhere,” Gu Fanyan teased with a smile.
“You’re not alone either,” Yun Suiwan glanced at Murong Mo not far away. “You seem to be in a good mood.”
Murong Mo was talking to a few people and looked at them, then waved to Lu Dongjue.
“Dongjue, you can go over there,” Gu Fanyan said. “He wants to introduce you to his friends.”
Lu Dongjue put his arm around Yun Suiwan's shoulder before leaving.
Yun Suiwan and Gu Fanyan walked side by side, admiring the paintings.
The two stopped in front of a painting at the same time.
This is a very simple line drawing, depicting a woman holding a child.
The painting has a beautiful artistic conception.
The two women suddenly looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.
"Why are you looking at this?" Yun Suiwan asked. "Are you and Murong Mo really getting married soon?"
"Why are you looking at this?" Gu Fanyan retorted. "Does this mean I can also attend a wedding banquet?"
Yun Suiwan's cheeks flushed slightly.
Lu Dongjue has been constantly pestering her lately, and he seems insatiable.
I was still whispering in her ear last night that I wanted lots of children...
Although she kicked him away as soon as he said it, those words had taken root in her heart.
“I simply think this painting has high artistic value,” Yun Suiwan explained. “There’s an auction later, I’ll buy it and wait for it to appreciate in value.”
Gu Fanyan smiled and said, "Not only can you sit back and wait for the value to increase, but you can also be used as a goddess who grants children."
“That would be great,” Yun Suiwan joked with her. “If it really works for me, you can hang it at home and it will continue to work.”
Gu Fanyan still had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were already dim.
The auction began soon after.
Every painting here will be auctioned off.
The art exhibition organizers converted the main hall into a temporary auction room, which was bustling with activity and filled with people.
Yun Suiwan and Gu Fanyan sat in the front row, waiting for the mother and child painting they had just seen.
Finally, the picture of the mother and child was brought up.
As Yun Suiwan had predicted, the painter who created this painting was already quite well-known both at home and abroad, and had unlimited potential.
Several of his previous paintings were sold out immediately.
This kind of painter might become famous worldwide in a few years, and then the value of a single painting will increase not just tenfold, but dozens of times.
At the very beginning, quite a few people made bids.
Yun Suiwan waited quietly, and after several rounds of bidding, the price stopped at 1 million.
Round after round, fewer and fewer people are bidding.
"4 million." Yun Suiwan immediately offered four times the price.
The crowd was in an uproar. Who would play like that?
But upon closer inspection, everyone was less surprised to see that the bidder was Yun Suiwan.
Since Yun Suiwan took over the Yun family business, profits have been steadily increasing.
Although the main reason for this was that Grandma Yun laid a very solid foundation back then, without Yun Suiwan's ruthless methods, the Yun family would have been divided up and taken over by those uncles and elders long ago.
"4 million the first time, 4 million the second time, 4 million the third time..."
"5 million." A shrill female voice interrupted the auctioneer.
Everyone turned around in surprise.
Who offered such a high price?
Who is vying with Yun Suiwan?
It is Yunwanqing.
With an air of confidence, she walked to the front row and sat down.
Her face seemed to be glowing.
The crowd couldn't help but start discussing it.
"It's really different now that you've climbed up to the Lin family, your face is practically glowing."
"That's because the dewy skin wasn't done properly, right?"
"..."
Yun Suiwan glanced at Yun Wanqing, a half-smile on her face: "Who are you planning to get to pay for it, Huo Beichen, Lin Zhibai, or Chen Lizhen?"
Yun Wanqing scoffed, "Can't I just buy it for myself?"
"I'll look at this painting every day after I buy it, hoping to give the Lin family a healthy grandson soon. What's a mere 5 million?"
As she spoke, she rubbed her lower abdomen, as if there was something really inside.
Gu Fanyan involuntarily clutched her lower abdomen, her face instantly turning extremely pale.
Yun Suiwan didn't notice, her mind was focused on how to retort to Yun Wanqing: "If you really want to have a child, you need the child's father's consent. This painting alone is not enough."
Yun Wanqing was hit where it hurt, and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "6 million!"
Turning back, she glared fiercely at Yun Suiwan: "Don't pretend to be high and mighty in front of me. Why did you buy this painting? Wasn't it because you wanted to have a child as soon as possible to tie Lu Dongjue down?"
"You think you can grow old with Lu Dongjue without me and without Gu Fanyan?" Yun Wanqing revealed a sinister smile: "The two of you are destined not to be together, and it has nothing to do with who ruins your relationship!"
These words came from her wicked lips, like a spell.
The auctioneer didn't hear all that, only the word "6 million," and he was incredibly excited.
Commissions, oh commissions! She saw huge amounts of commissions flowing back into her pocket.
"Alright, this lady is quite decisive." The auctioneer raised his gavel. "6 million for the first time, 6 million for the second time..."
“8 million,” Yun Suiwan suddenly said.
"9 million!" Yun Wanqing looked at Yun Suiwan defiantly.
She suddenly had a wicked idea.
