◇ Chapter 16
The next morning, Chu Jiangyuan arrived at the judging site early.
It was already eight o'clock, but there was only a painting on the podium of the competition venue. Si Wang and his group couldn't even see their shadow. A smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
That’s great. Soon he will be able to fulfill Gu’an’s wish and soon he will be able to go and see him.
As he was thinking, he suddenly covered his handkerchief with his hands, bent over and coughed violently a few times. When he straightened up, the white handkerchief was already covered with a bright red stain, but the curve of his lips became deeper and deeper.
Soon, the judges on the stage announced the results with joy on their faces.
"I declare that the winner of this year's International Golden Painting Award is—"
Chu Jiangyuan straightened his collar, smiling. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard the judges say, "The winner is—Si Wang's 'Starry Sky'!"
Chu Jiangyuan's face turned pale in an instant. When he saw the curtain open and a rich and gorgeous painting appeared in the center of the platform, Chu Jiangyuan's blood suddenly surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
All efforts were in vain...
Si Gu'an on the high platform did not miss this scene, but he just darkened his eyes and nothing else.
…
After the game, Si Guan said goodbye to Pierre and prepared to return home.
"Forget, why do you want to leave? Aren't you happy staying here?"
Ellis was very reluctant to leave, and Si Gu'an smiled and said, "Ellis, I will fly over to see you when I am free. If you miss me, you can also come to see me."
After receiving Si Gu'an's assurance, Ellis finally felt a little better. Before leaving, he repeatedly emphasized: "Wang, if you encounter any trouble, please contact us. I will find you as soon as possible. The most important thing is, you must not be deceived by the wild men outside!"
Si Gu'an quickened his pace helplessly. Ellis was only twenty years old and was like a younger brother in his eyes. However, the concepts abroad were different from those in China. The teacher and his wife actually supported Ellis in pursuing him.
Si Gu'an's early return to China may have been an attempt to avoid trouble, but he forgot that there were more troubles waiting for him in China.
Dusk City.
When Si Gu'an returned to his hometown after four years, he felt that everything had changed. The airport had not changed much, but he felt inexplicably sad.
He didn't ask anyone to pick him up at the airport, but as soon as he walked to the exit, he saw He Yilan, who was dressed very "eye-catchingly".
He had a slicked-back haircut, revealing a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was wearing a burgundy shirt with the top two buttons undone, exuding a unique masculine sexiness.
Of course, what attracted people the most was the silver sports car worth nearly 10 million yuan that he was relying on. Si Gu'an silently put on sunglasses, pretended not to know him and planned to leave from the side.
Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, someone held down the suitcase. He Yilan said aggrievedly, "Wangwang, I've been waiting for you for two hours, and you pretended not to know me?! You hurt my heart so much."
Si Gu'an's face darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you try calling out 'Wang Wang'?"
Si Gu'an met He Yilan during a project collaboration. Unexpectedly, after meeting, He Yilan was like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off!
This playboy is even more difficult to deal with than Ellis. He flirts with him for no reason, but they have a partnership, so he has to endure it even if he doesn't want to!
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" He Yilan quickly lowered his head and waited until Si Gu'an looked a little better before leaning over and saying, "Xiao Wang, you must be tired after such a long flight. I've already booked a hotel for you. You should go and have a good rest. We can talk business later."
He Yilan's main business was the company's cooperation, and Si Gu'an did not refuse when he heard it.
He turned around and followed He Yilan to his car, but what he didn't expect was that he ran into Chu Jiangyuan who had just got off the plane!
