Ren Yaoqi placed the tea tray in his hand on the table on the side, personally picked up a bowl and handed it to Mr. Ren, and then took another bowl and handed it to Xiao Jingxi.
When Master Ren took a sip of tea and handed the bowl back to her, Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile as if he hadn't noticed, "The outer room seems a bit messy. Should I have someone clean it up?"
Master Ren nodded nonchalantly: "Let's clean up."
That brush washer was Mr. Ren's favorite thing. When Ren Yaoqi saw that Mr. Ren didn't lose his temper when she mentioned it, she knew that this matter should have nothing to do with Xiao Jingxi. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I remember that this brush washer and that pen holder were my father's favorites. He brought them from Baihe Town specially. How come they were accidentally broken today?" As she said that, Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi inquiringly.
Xiao Jingxi said apologetically, "This is my fault. If it weren't for me, the brush washer wouldn't have been broken. I remember I have a similar one in my study. I'll have someone send it to father when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Master Ren didn't refuse politely and nodded: "You are thoughtful. I really like that brush washer. It would be a pity to see it broken."
Ren Yaoqi blinked, looked at Master Ren, then looked at Xiao Jingxi, and finally his gaze stopped at Xiao Jingxi. He was quite surprised by the change in Master Ren's attitude. What did Xiao Jingxi just do?
While Master Ren was drawing, Xiao Jingxi winked at Ren Yaoqi secretly, with a rare hint of mischief in his smile. Ren Yaoqi turned his eyes away silently.
Just as he was about to inquire further about what had just happened, Master Ren took a few glances at his painting, then put down his brush and asked Xiao Jingxi, "What do you think of this one?"
Xiao Jingxi then began to seriously evaluate Master Ren's paintings. Although he wasn't an expert in painting, his vision and artistic accomplishment were excellent, so when facing his father-in-law, Xiao Jingxi could really make some sense of his evaluation. In other families, the father-in-law would definitely not tolerate his son-in-law's comments on his paintings, but Master Ren was not like that; he loved to hear others' opinions on his work.
Before Ren Yaoqi got married, she had always played this role, so when her daughter got married, Ren Shimin became more and more dissatisfied with Xiao Jingxi. You have to know that Xiao Jingxi not only snatched away his most beloved daughter, but also his personal connoisseur and confidant.
However, Mr. Ren appreciates truly talented people, so when he heard that Xiao Jingxi's appreciation level was not lower than his daughter's, Mr. Ren was still very happy.
He pointed to the painting on the table, the ink of which had not yet dried, and said, "Then this painting is for you."
Ren Yaoqi asked blankly: "Why did Daddy give him a painting?" And it was a fresh painting.
Xiao Jingxi's treatment was too good. Ren Yaoqi couldn't believe it. Didn't her father reject Xiao Jingxi when he was in the main house?
Unexpectedly, Master Ren said as a matter of course: "I lost the chess game to Tingzhen and lost a painting to him, so I painted one for him. What's so strange about that?"
Ren Yaoqi finally understood what was going on, but how could his father actually call Xiao Jingxi by his courtesy name?
She gave Xiao Jingxi a meaningful look and deliberately scolded him, "How could you beat my father!"
Ren Shimin was displeased when he heard this. He glared at his daughter with dissatisfaction and accused her, "What? It's not that he won't win, but that he can't win? Are you so sure that your father will lose?"
Ren Yaoqi thought, you can't even beat me, and I can't beat him, if you don't lose, who will?
However, Ren Yaoqi didn't dare to say this, because Ren Shimin didn't mind losing to Xiao Jingxi, but he was very concerned about the fact that in his daughter's heart he could never beat her husband.
And Xiao Jingxi, this sesame bun, is obviously plotting against her father! Fortunately, his motives are good.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled, flattering his father-in-law at the right time: "Father is a gentleman, he will definitely not be happy with me cheating."
