Now, Fang Zhitong had been taken in as the last disciple of Qi Baishi, who was as famous as her father. He was the fourth generation disciple of the great painter Qi Baishi, whose works were renowned all over the world. Before this famous painter met Fang Zhitong, he had said that he would not take any more disciples. From this, one could see Fang Zhitong's talent in painting and calligraphy. She had also been hired as a lecturer by the Academy of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy. She had also been invited by the National Painting and Calligraphy Association to be the Deputy Secretary. She was preparing for her first art exhibition in her life. Such excellent results and outstanding talent once again proved a popular saying, "All roads lead to Rome, and some people were born in Rome!"
Li Rui was overjoyed after hearing this. As her good friend, there was nothing more worth being happy about than seeing her change step by step to the pinnacle of art. He said, "You really are Fang Boyan's daughter. If he is in heaven and sees that you have achieved so much in just three years, he will definitely be smiling in the underworld! Your progress is enough to satisfy his expectations for you. "
Fang Zhitong lowered her head slightly and said with a face full of guilt, "I will definitely not let him down. I just feel sorry for you. You have been so good to me. It was you who encouraged me to go to Beijing that year, but I haven't contacted you until now. I really …"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Haven't we already met? Why are you still saying this? Besides, you haven't forgotten me … "
Fang Zhitong somewhat agitatedly interrupted him and said, "I haven't forgotten, I often think of you …" Speaking to this point, her face suddenly flushed red, as if she felt that it was inappropriate to say this to a grown man, but she still mustered up the courage to continue, "… I often want to contact you, but I also want to wait … wait until I have some fame before I look for you. That way … I feel like I can be on equal footing with you and be your friend. Every once in a while, I will have this kind of mental struggle. The night before yesterday, I even dreamt of you …"
Li Rui's heart was both gratified and warm. His eyes were also a little moist. Looking at her pure and real beautiful eyes, he felt that she had never left him. She also hadn't changed at all. She was still that proud and aloof handsome girl, Xiao Fang.
Fang Zhitong was about to say something when she heard Peng Shaolong's voice on the phone in the corridor, "… Okay, okay, that's all for now. I'll contact you another day … Hehe, I got it. Help me pass the message to Uncle Wang …" The voice came from afar and it was obvious that it was coming from the room.
Li Rui's face changed. Even though he and Fang Zhitong were innocent, it was still a single man and woman, it wasn't appropriate for a man and a woman to meet in this secret room. However, it was too late to run out of the room and Peng Shaolong would definitely be seen by Peng.. but it was too late if he ran out of the room, he would definitely be seen by Peng.............. but it it it it it it too late to run out... or......... and a a........ Before she could say anything, he quickly walked to the corridor and entered the washroom. He hid behind the door and prayed in his heart that Peng Shaolong wouldn't enter the washroom.
Fang Zhitong initially wanted to say, "You don't have to hide." But when she saw him hiding, she couldn't stop him. She could only bitterly smile as she turned around and wiped the tears on her face. But at this moment, she heard the door open and Peng Shaolong had already entered.
"Darling, why don't you accompany me to socialize with a few VIPs?"
Peng Shaolong walked to Fang Zhitong's back and swept his gaze at her curvaceous figure. His throat constantly squirmed as he couldn't help reaching his hand out to hug her waist.
But just as his arm wrapped around Fang Zhitong's waist, Fang Zhitong turned around and pushed his arm away. Her face also became as cold as ice.
Noticing her expression, Peng Shaolong was a little nervous as he asked, "Zhitong, what's wrong? You … you seem to have just cried? "
Ignoring his question, Fang Zhitong coldly asked, "I would like to ask you a question."
Hearing her tone, Peng Shaolong felt even more uncertain as he embarrassedly replied, "What is it? Just ask whatever you want. There seems to be something wrong with you. "
Fang Zhitong's gaze fell on his face as she slowly asked, "The engagement ring you bought for Lin Wenjing was also five carats, right?"
The smile on Peng Shaolong's face instantly froze as shock, horror, fear, doubt, and worry flashed through the depths of his eyes. But in the next second, a smile was restored on his face. However, his smile was a little stiff as he said with a smile, "What do you mean? What are you talking about? I don't understand. "
Fang Zhitong deeply looked at him and said, "You don't know the name Lin Wenjing? Peng Shaolong, I will only give you one chance to explain. Don't play dumb with me! "
The smile on Peng Shaolong's face froze as he looked a little sad. Lowering his eyelids, he pondered for a moment before he raised his head and asked, "Who told you about this person?"
"I want an explanation!"
Fang Zhitong didn't want to talk nonsense with him as she clung onto the main topic.
Peng Shaolong sighed and said, "Zhitong, I didn't mean to hide it from you. With our relationship, there's no need for me to hide it from you. The reason why I didn't tell you was that I felt that this person and my relationship with her were already in the past. Is there a need to mention the past again? Who doesn't have youth? Who doesn't have a first love when they were young? But the past is the past. There's no need to remember it. You should cherish the person in front of you and give all your love to the person in front of you. Don't you think so? "
Fang Zhitong looked at him with disappointment as if she was looking at a stranger. She wasn't a foolish girl. Perhaps she was a little foolish when Peng Shaolong pursued her. She was moved and blinded by Peng Shaolong's flowery words and flowery speech. But now that Li Zheng had pointed out Peng Shaolong's true face, her reason was restored. From the moment Peng Shaolong's first reaction was to flatly deny it, she discovered that this fellow was not as sincere and reliable as he appeared on the surface. A person who even deceived his fiancee, no matter what the reason was, was unforgivable. The most detestable thing was that he immediately changed his words and admitted it under pressure. He even gave a bunch of plausible reasons, which exposed his hypocrisy and treachery even more.
Peng Shaolong was made uncomfortable by her silence and didn't dare to look at her cold eyes. He turned his face away and suddenly thought, "Oh, why am I acting so weak and timid?" Not to mention that it was impossible for her to know the details of his relationship with Lin Wenjing. Even if she knew, so what? He and Lin Wenjing broke up because of their relationship. She couldn't confront Lin Wenjing. He didn't cheat on Lin Wenjing during their relationship. Why should he be so afraid and be oppressed by her? Thinking of this, he became a lot bolder and said resentfully, "I don't know who you heard about Lin Wenjing from, but she's already in the past. You don't have to bear a grudge. You just need to understand that I only have you now and love you the most. That's enough. I didn't take the initiative to talk to you about her, but you also didn't talk to me about your first love. "
When Fang Zhitong heard the word "first love", the figure of Li Rui suddenly appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but look at the bathroom. Her face was a little hot and she defended herself, "I don't have a first love!" Her heart was pounding and she didn't know why she thought of him. She was very puzzled, "If I really liked him, how could I be pursued by Peng Shaolong? It seems that I don't like him, but if I don't like him, why do I always think of him? Why do I care so much that I'm not worthy of him? Do I … really like him? "
Peng Shaolong naturally didn't know the twists and turns in her stomach. He stepped forward and held her hand and said with a smile, "My most beloved Zhitong, let bygones be bygones. From now on, we …"
Fang Zhitong didn't wait for him to finish speaking. She suddenly waved her hand to shake off his hand and stepped back to avoid him.
Peng Shaolong was happily describing a beautiful future for her. Suddenly being treated like this by her, his face changed greatly. He stared at her a few times and asked unhappily, "Zhitong, what's wrong with you? I feel that you're a different person compared to before. Are you uncomfortable? Do you want me to take you to the hospital? "
When he was young, he studied Chinese painting with Fang Zhitong's father, Fang Boyan. After graduation, he stayed in Beijing for many years. His Mandarin with a southern accent had long been practiced. There was no southern accent at all. At first glance, he sounded like an authentic northerner.
Fang Zhitong asked, "I'm not asking about Lin Wenjing. I'm asking why you didn't buy her a five-carat diamond ring when you were engaged to her?"
Peng Shaolong suppressed the doubts and resentment in his heart and patiently explained, "How can she be compared to you, my Zhitong? She can't even compare to a hair on your head. On the surface, it looks like the size of the ring is different, but in fact, your positions in my heart are different. Lin Wenjing is far inferior to you in terms of appearance, taste, education, and family background. You are like Mount Everest in my heart. Of course, I have to give you the most valuable jewelry I can buy. Even so, it can't express my love for you. "
Fang Zhitong snorted coldly and said, "Do you dare to say this in front of Lin Wenjing? She gave you everything and accompanied you for four years. When you got engaged, you only bought her a platinum ring. That's fine, but after so many years, you still don't have a single good word to say about her! Peng Shaolong, I only found out today that you are so heartless! "
Peng Shaolong was frightened when he heard this. He said, "Where did you hear this from? Who … Who told you this? " After saying that, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and looked around the room. He asked in surprise, "Did someone come just now? Who told you these things? Was it Lin Wenjing? Did she find you? "
