"Dear lovely and beautiful Ms. Fan, your son wants to discuss something with you. Today I heard from a friend at school that there is a house for sale in 798. I want to buy it and use it to hold an art exhibition for you, my great-grandfather and my little sister!" A handsome and noble-looking young man said flatteringly.
Fan Hua, wearing a cheongsam and with her hair tied up, looked gentle and generous. She raised her eyes and asked, "How much?"
"Not much, only three million..."
Fan Hua didn't hesitate at all, "I'll transfer the money to your card in a moment."
"Alright, long live the Queen Mother!"
Zhao Yilu, who was standing by, spoke in a dignified tone: "Don't mess around all the time, boy. Go to the company more often to help your mother when you have time, so that she can have some free time soon."
"Commander Zhao, don't mention that Ms. Fan is only 39 years old this year. Just looking at her temperament and appearance, no one would dare to object to saying she is 19!" Yuan Yuan said as he gestured with both hands.
Fan Hua glanced at Yuan Yuan unhappily, "Zhao Xiyuan, you are really bold, aren't you? You dare to tease your mother like this?"
"Look at what you said. I really think you are the most beautiful woman in the world!" Yuanyuan continued to praise.
Fan Hua laughed and scolded, "You are just sweet-talking. But you have to take good care of this house. If you can't organize the exhibition well, be careful or I will deduct your pocket money."
Zhao Yilu couldn't help laughing, but also reminded them seriously: "Okay, you two should stop flattering each other. Yuanyuan, since you want to buy a house to hold an art exhibition, you have to plan it well, don't make a mess of it."
Yuanyuan patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, General Fan, Commander Zhao, I have already thought about it. The theme of the exhibition is called "Inheritance and Bloom". Great-grandfather's paintings are treasures accumulated over the years and represent inheritance.
Although my little sister is young, she has a great talent for painting. Her works are full of vitality and innovation, and are a symbol of blooming.
As for you, my dear mother, your paintings combine your perception of life and your pursuit of art. Although you usually focus on managing the company, your daily sketches are of great quality. If I were to ask you, you are definitely the best painter in the family, and you play an important role in connecting the past and the future!"
After hearing this, Fan Hua's eyes were filled with relief: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. But holding an art exhibition requires more than just having a venue. We also need to be attentive to publicity, work arrangement, and the opening ceremony."
Yuanyuan blinked, "I know. My family is in the cultural media business. I will borrow a few people from the company to work with me on the publicity plan. As for the opening ceremony, as long as you and great-grandfather can go and help me to be there, with these two giants from the art and business worlds attending at the same time, and with publicity and reports, how can this exhibition not be popular?!"
"By the way, isn't it time for my little sister to come back from her training in Country F? It would be great if she could catch up with the opening of my art exhibition!"
Fan Hua nodded, "Come back on the eighth of next month."
"Okay, then I'll go to the airport to pick you up myself!"
"Just go to school and focus. Your mother and I will pick you up. You're not needed!" Zhao Yilu said with disdain on his face.
"Commander Zhao, how could you do this? You are so full of water that it is about to overflow into the Pacific Ocean, and all you have eyes for is your sister!
Have you forgotten that besides your family of three, there is also a poor me?
Can I make a deal with you? When you go to pick up my sister, please pack me up and take me with you on the buy-one-get-one-free deal! Please!" She said this with a pitiful look on her face.
Fan Hua was giggling on the side. Her son Zhao Xiyuan was very handsome, but his mouth was so down-to-earth!
I don’t know if it’s because he grew up in Beijing and always hung out with old men in the alleys, but he speaks in Beijing dialect, and as soon as he opens his mouth, people can easily ignore his looks and family background. Not only does he tell jokes off the cuff, but he also has a bit of a ruffian vibe!
Her daughter Zhao Mengxiao has completely inherited all of Fan Hua's strengths. She has been a talented girl since she was young and has a very high artistic talent, especially in painting. Influenced by Fan Hua and Zhao Xubai, she is simply a little painting genius. She went to Country F to study fashion design at the age of seventeen. She will return to China on the eighth of next month after completing her studies, just in time to inherit the family business and manage the Fanhua brand clothing company.
Zhao Yilu kicked Zhao Xiyuan with disgust on his face, "Go away, go back to your own room and don't disturb the world of two people between me and your mother!"
Zhao Xiyuan walked towards his room with a face full of resentment, looking back every few steps, muttering: "Ah, these days, it's so hard to act cute with my parents. The world is so fickle, the world is so fickle!"
Fan Hua stroked the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "I am really impressed. How could we have such a son? He is such a living treasure. With him at home, I can't help but get wrinkles at the corners of my eyes."
The 40-year-old Zhao Yilu's eyes have more of the accumulation of years, and he seems more mature and gentle.
He gently took Fan Hua's hand and said, "Just come out. This is a gift from time to time. It is the trace of our twenty years together. What my son said just now is quite right. You don't look like you are thirty-nine at all. You haven't changed at all since I first met you. You are still as beautiful as ever!"
Fan Hua glared at him and said, "I was wondering how my son became like this. It turns out that he learned his slickness from you!"
Zhao Yilu chuckled, "Just learn from me. If he can make you happy, it's not in vain to raise him!"
"He not only makes me happy, but also makes little girls happy. Just think about his mouth, how come all the little girls like him?
Not only did Su Wen's little Moli, who was one year younger than him, come to Beijing to attend university just for him, but I think even Ailing's little Suisui, who was five years younger than him, liked to stick to him when she came to our house...
I don’t know how many girls are around him in school. I’m worried that he might lose his sense of propriety and bully the girls…” Fan Hua looked like a worried old mother.
"Don't worry. Our man has a history of infatuation. Even though he's a little naughty, he won't do anything reckless. He definitely knows his limits." Zhao Yilu comforted.
Fan Hua sighed helplessly and leaned on Zhao Yilu's shoulder, "Yuanyuan is a boy after all, I don't worry too much, as long as he doesn't tease the good girl.
Xiaoxiao, I am the one who is really worried. You don’t know how worried I am that she will be kidnapped by a foreign guy while she is studying abroad these years…"
Zhao Yilu gently stroked Fan Hua's back, "Don't worry, my comrade's child is also studying in Country F. I asked him to help take care of Xiaoxiao."
"Is it the boy from Teacher Lu's family who went to Country F to study medicine?" Fan Hua asked softly.
"Well, I've seen that boy before. He's quite calm and polite, and seems like a good kid. I told him to call me immediately if any suspicious yellow-haired guy gets close to Xiaoxiao!
I spoke to him alone on the phone a few days ago, and he told me very seriously: Xiaoxiao is well taken care of, and no bad people have ever approached Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao lives a happy life every day in Country F.
Fan Hua nodded, but she felt something was wrong. Just when she was about to continue thinking deeply, she was interrupted by Zhao Yilu's sudden princess hug...
