"Little Yuzu, over here!"
I hadn't taken more than two steps inside when Li Lan's voice came from inside.
She waved to Xiaoyouzi, while Wen Shuqin, standing beside her, wore a neat school uniform and looked serious.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was there for a meeting.
"Aunt Li!" Little Youzi ran over, her pretty little face full of smiles.
Li Lan couldn't help but reach out and pinch Xiao Youzi's soft little face, then touched her little pigtails. "Xiao Youzi, you're so cute!"
Her gaze involuntarily drifted to her son, who had a stern face beside her, and she turned back with a heavy heart: Never mind.
Little Yuzi nodded to Wen Shuqin, then looked up at Li Lan with a sweet smile: "Aunt Li, you look so beautiful today!"
Li Lan's heart melted as she listened: "Waaah, Xiao Youzi is so good at talking, unlike my boring little brat at home."
"What, was Auntie not pretty before?" Li Lan asked jokingly.
Today, Li Lan was wearing a beige cheongsam, her hair was styled in an updo and adorned with a magnolia hairpin, and she had a faint smile on her face.
Her cheongsam was made of brocade and was well-tailored, showing off her graceful curves.
Although Li Lan is middle-aged, she still maintains the habit of exercising and looks very young.
The high waistline of the cheongsam made her figure appear almost perfect.
Little Yuzu smiled and said, "You looked good before, but you look especially good today. Aunt Li, the butterflies on your dress are so delicate!"
"Hmm, this cheongsam is custom-made, it's quite nice." Li Lan smiled with satisfaction.
Being praised repeatedly by the adorable little pomelo is something no one can resist.
Little Yuzu glanced at it and said with a smile, "It's very pretty, and the flowers are beautiful too."
"Yes, the embroidery on it is made of gold thread, and so are the frog buttons." Li Lan couldn't help but turn around in front of Xiao Youzi so that she could see it clearly from all angles.
Little Yuzu cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling: "Wow, it's so pretty!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Little Yuzu." Li Lan lowered her head and patted Little Yuzu's head again, revealing the emerald green bracelet on her wrist.
Little Yuzu smiled and said, "The bracelet is so pretty!"
"It's okay, I'll take you to my cousin's place next time to get some more clothes, and I can also take you to get a bracelet made." Li Lan smiled as she patted Xiao Youzi's head.
Li Liye: You're so aloof, so impressive.
"Yay!"
The two of them were having a great time, completely excluding Wen Shuqin, as if they were the real mother and daughter!
Wen Shuqin said with a straight face: I'll let the world ridicule me if they want to isolate me.
Looking down at his watch, Wen Shuqin said coldly, "Mom, you've already wasted five minutes here."
Li Lan glared at him, took out her phone to check the screen, and then asked, "Where are your other classmates? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"I'll go and urge them." Xiaoyouzi took out her phone and sent a message in the group.
[Study Group (6)]
Sweet Pomelo: Where are you guys? Why aren't you here yet? @Everyone
Wen Tian: We've arrived. Si Yu and I are outside.
Art prodigy: Waiting for Jiang Qian, so annoying, I'm going to go to the toilet!
Jiang Qian: I'll be done soon!
Squad leader: Stay with them.
Art prodigy: Hurry up! @Jiang Qian
Five minutes later, Mu Siyu led a few people in.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said apologetically, "Sorry, Auntie, we're late."
"It's all my fault," Jiang Qian said, clutching his stomach, "I... my stomach hurts."
"fine."
Li Lan smiled gently and made a phone call.
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit came out.
He greeted everyone with a smile and introduced himself: "Hello Mrs. Wen, hello children, I am the deputy curator of the exhibition hall. Today I will take you to see the paintings and explain them to you."
"Okay~" the children responded enthusiastically.
The deputy curator led them to the front hall.
There were about a hundred people in the hall, scattered around.
The deputy curator said, "The paintings here are all from private collections and are not auctioned. Our curator went to great lengths to get the collectors' consent to the exhibition. You can't see these paintings at other art exhibitions."
As Xiaoyouzi looked through the paintings one by one, she saw that they were all private collections of various collectors.
Even a single painting is worth a fortune.
"Wow, it must be very valuable!" Little Yuzu exclaimed, her eyes wide with curiosity.
Li Lan nodded: "Yes, they are all private collections, and you can hardly find them on the market."
"Heh." Just then, a disdainful sneer came from not far away...
