Gu Jiangxin wished that he could disappear from the spot.
Fortunately, Gu Shishi was surrounded by District Head Liu and did not notice him for a while.
However, Huo Sishen, who was beside her, glanced in his direction.
Gu Jiangxin's cold gaze met the glass of the display case.
The faces of two men of different ages were reflected on the glass at the same time. One was darker than the other, and one was lighter than the other.
However, Gu Jiangxin could clearly see that his age, incompetence, and down-and-out was completely different from the other man's youthful, prosperous, and imposing aura.
He averted his gaze as though he had been scalded.
He couldn't care less about District Head Liu anymore. He staggered and ran towards the washroom sign next to him.
In that instant, he knew that he no longer had the right to appear in front of his daughter.
However, when he ran in the opposite direction of the crowd, he attracted Gu Shishi's attention.
"Why does that person look so familiar?"
Gu Shishi blinked.
Huo Sishen did not say anything. District Head Liu glanced at him and smiled.
"He is also a business owner."
Gu Shishi was not very interested when she heard that he was a business owner.
She only had two important things to do now. One was Baby Huo, and the other was painting.
Ahem. 2.5 was Huo Jinyao.
"District Head Liu, please help yourselves. I will take the baby to change his diaper first."
Gu Shishi had only seen Gu Jiangxin a few times, so she naturally could not recognize him from his back view.
She exchanged a few pleasantries with District Head Liu before excusing herself.
Old Madam Chen was also coming today. She had promised to accompany Gu Shishi throughout the exhibition and explain her creative inspiration throughout.
Huo Sishen did not say anything when he saw that Gu Shishi did not recognize him.
Halfway through the exhibition, many invited reporters began to interview people in the exhibition hall.
Although the reporters were a little disappointed that Gu Shishi was not participating, they were satisfied that other members of the association, including District Head Liu, were willing to be interviewed.
Old Madam Chen and Chen Kexin listened to Gu Shishi's explanation throughout the exhibition. They admired the painting and expanded their knowledge of ink painting.
But as they listened, unknowingly, a few figures slowly approached and attempted to quietly leave.
When Gu Shishi, who was focused on her speech, noticed this, she turned her head slightly and saw that the other party was about to turn around awkwardly, as if wanting to escape.
Their eyes met, and there was nothing but awkwardness.
It was none other than the Gu family's mother.
She was blushing and tugging at the arms of a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman next to her, obviously trying to pull them away.
When Gu Shishi saw her, she stopped explaining and nodded at Zhang Sheng, who was pulling Mrs. Gu's hand away from her arm.
"Shishi."
Zhang Sheng greeted his wife, Shen Yunping, who was next to him.
Their faces were filled with surprise and surprise.
"I didn't expect that painting to be done by you. Your painting skills are actually so high."
Thinking of Gu Jiangxin's late-night chat on WeChat Moments, as well as a bunch of unlucky things that happened later, Zhang Sheng wanted to laugh. He felt extremely satisfied.
His niece was also a straightforward and straightforward person who would take revenge!
He liked this character.
Shen Yunping's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Previously, when we received a personal call from President Huang Chuan, asking to borrow the painting that you sent over for Singles' Day, we thought it was a little strange. At that time, although your uncle said that this painting would be popular in the future, we didn't expect it to become popular so quickly."
"We were still wondering where you found such a skilled painter. In the end, it turned out to be you. "
They had just wanted to say hello and watch the exhibition quietly so that they wouldn't disturb Gu Shishi.
In the end, who would have thought that when they walked behind Old Madam Chen, they would overhear her words and realize that she was the painter himself?
"Our children are not as promising as you."
Shen Yunping was deeply moved.
The more she looked at her husband's niece and nephew, the more she felt that her husband's niece and nephew's son-in-law were both dragons and phoenixes among men. They were compatible and each had their own talents.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she wished that she could dig a hole and hide in it.
As a biological mother, she could only awkwardly stand at the side like a stranger and listen to other people's praises for her daughter. However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with her.
In this situation, it was as if there was a large number of people fighting against her in broad daylight. She could no longer raise her head.
She had wanted to leave earlier, but she couldn't pull the two of them away. She could only remain silent and look at the floor silently.
Mrs. Gu felt embarrassed, and Gu Shishi also felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Zhang Sheng exchanged a few pleasantries before he led his wife and younger sister to the side to admire the painting.
"Aiya, our little baby is super obedient today. Are you so happy looking at all the babies in the room that you've forgotten your home?"
Old Madam Chen took the child from Huo Sishen and warmed up the atmosphere.
Sure enough, when Gu Shishi heard about her son, she was instantly amused. She patted her son's butt lightly and said, "You're really elegant today. You didn't even go up to the painting frame."
He was carried by his father the entire time. He didn't play with any toys and didn't make a fuss.
His round, black eyes stared at the colorful decorations on the wall. He kept looking around and seemed more engrossed than anyone else.
When he was excited, he would even babble and point at the wall as if he had understood something and was eager to discuss it with his father.
However, Huo Sishen was very cooperative. Every time, Huo Sishen would lean in and listen to his son's drooling and muttering. From time to time, Huo Sishen would nod his head to show his approval of his son.
The father and son pair were enjoying themselves.
When Old Madam Chen carried Baby Huo away, Baby Huo struggled a little. He was reluctant to leave Huo Sishen's arms.
In the end, Old Madam Chen stuffed a warm jade pendant into his hand and hung the necklace around his neck. Only then did he manage to divert his attention and forget about his father.
Huo Sishen patted Baby Huo's little head before he reached out to hold Gu Shishi's hand and squeezed it.
"Let's go home if you're tired."
They didn't care about anyone else. They were the only ones at home.
Gu Shishi grinned and returned the gesture. She pressed his palm a few times before intertwining her fingers with his.
"Okay, let's go home if we're hungry."
[Zhang Sheng: Female talent (thumbs up)]
When they returned home that day, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but praise Gu Shishi on his WeChat Moments.
He kept a low profile and didn't post a photo of Gu Shishi. Instead, he posted a picture of the painting he had taken at the exhibition. It was the 'birthday' gift he had received on Double 11.
Although it was a soft canvas and not a truly profound masterpiece, he still couldn't help but feel happy.
The painting would be on display for another month, so he couldn't admire it at home.
That night, he excitedly posted it on his WeChat Moments. He looked at it repeatedly on his phone and sighed from time to time. He was also busy replying to a group of old friends' WeChat comments.
Many of his friends in Beijing were asking questions like, "Who is this talented woman?" and so on. After one night, Zhang Sheng's eyebrows wrinkled even more.
If it wasn't for his little sister's foolishness, he would have replied proudly, 'This is my niece, a god-level artist, the kind that can't be bought with a thousand gold coins' … But now, he couldn't.
Zhang Sheng sighed countless times.
Finally, after an entire night, he found a comment that made him feel a little better.
[Gu Jiangxin: You went to see it too.]
Zhang Sheng immediately rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his palms together.
[Zhang Sheng: Hey, you went too. Does your face hurt?]
[Gu Jiangxin: … You too.]
[Zhang Sheng: Hmph. Picking sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons. Someone is blind!]
[Gu Jiangxin: Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha.]
"This shameless old thing!"
Zhang Sheng cursed angrily on the bed.
"What's wrong now? Don't look at your phone. Go to sleep. "
Shen Yunping persuaded him.
"No, where's your phone? Go and search for the popular online scolding words. The kind that's infuriating."
"…"
Zhang Sheng and Gu Jiangxin scolded each other on their WeChat Moments for nearly two hours.
There were nearly a hundred messages back and forth, and it became a big wonder in the circle.
Their disagreement was also known to everyone. It was not a secret to begin with.
However, many people did not know that the reason for this back and forth charade was not Mrs. Gu, but Gu Shishi.
However, there were some who understood, able to see through it clearly.
For example, Gu Wushuang, who did not attend the exhibition that day.
She immediately saw Zhang Sheng's Moments and was stunned when she saw the signature on the painting.
Flowerroom.
Ink and Wash.
She connected all the dots. Why did Zhang Sheng have the painting? Why did he help Flowerroom set up a sales channel in Beijing? Why did he attend the exhibition? Why did Gu Shishi help Flowerroom make a promotional video? And why did Ink and Wash use the painting to mock Gu Jiangxin? All these doubts, which she did not take to heart before, instantly crept into her heart. She had all the answers!
Gu Shishi was Ink and Wash!
Gu Wushuang almost vomited blood.
All the promotional and packaging drawings of Flowerroom were similar in style. They were all her work!
And Flowerroom …
Gu Wushuang quickly ran to the study and found the sales contract of Flowerroom shares. When she saw that the owner of Flowerroom was Liu Zhichao, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
Fortunately, Flowerroom did not belong to Gu Shishi.
It should be a coincidence that she painted for Flowerroom.
Otherwise, if she sold the shares to Flowerroom at a low price, wouldn't she have been defeated by Gu Shishi and still counted the money for her?
She was in a hurry to get rid of the shares at that time, and because of Flowerroom's poor reputation, the price dropped to the lowest in history.
"Fortunately, I was thinking too much."
But soon, she was given a heavy slap in the face by reality.
The next morning, she scrolled through Zhang Sheng's WeChat Moments post …
[Zhang Sheng: I used to hate Flowerroom the most. I didn't allow it to enter the house. Now, I've bought it for my wife and daughter. Someone is doing much better than you.]
Gu Wushuang's heart trembled.
She scrolled down and saw a heart-wrenching comment that pierced her eyes.
[Gu Jiangxin: Zhang Sheng has my blood running in his veins. He's better than me. The student has surpassed the master. It has nothing to do with you.]
[Zhang Sheng: Gu Jiangxin, I've never seen someone as shameless as you!]
After reading only two lines, Gu Wushuang screamed, "Ah!"
She wasn't an idiot. She understood such an obvious meaning!
Flowerroom's current boss was Gu Shishi …!!
She closed her eyes and fell down. Her beautiful face knocked directly on the beautiful metal candlestick with a sharp triangular top on the table, leaving three long bloody cuts!
