Hurriedly, Jiang Yining managed to finish the painting before the auction.
She called Xiao Lang and asked him to come and get it personally.
Xiao Lang knew that Lu Zhi didn’t like Jiang Yining being close to him. He said, “Why don’t you meet me near your home and hand over the painting? It’s better than having your husband suspect you of cheating.”
“You think too highly of yourself.”
With Lu Zhi as her husband, was there something wrong with her brain to cheat on a playboy like Xiao Lang?
Jiang Yining had high standards when it came to choosing men, and Xiao Lang didn’t make the cut.
However, it wasn’t a problem to be friends with him.
Xiao Lang was speechless.
Why did he hear the sarcasm in her voice?
Forget it.
He didn’t want to argue with this woman.
In the end, Jiang Yining decided to meet Xiao Lang outside. She wasn’t afraid of being suspected of having a connection with him, but she was concerned about Lu Zhi’s jealousy.
That jealousy pot would unleash its punishment whenever she got a bit closer to another man.
Jiang Yining didn’t want her lips to be assaulted again.
After framing the painting, Jiang Yining went out.
On the other side, Xiao Lang also hurried over.
The two of them met at the cafe.
Jiang Yining handed the painting to him and said, “Take a look. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, I can paint you another one.”
“You painted it perfectly.”
Xiao Lang had great confidence in her.
However, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and opened it to take a look.
The moment his gaze fell on the painting, he was stunned.
“Perfect in both form and spirit, flowing like clouds and water. It can be considered at the level of a national master. Yining, if you put this painting up for sale, it’s worth at least twenty million.” Xiao Lang paused and uncertainly asked, “Are you sure you’re not Qi Bai’s disciple? I think you have completely inherited his style, or even better. Your painting has a touch of agility and vividness that he lacks.”
“No.”
Jiang Yining answered without hesitation.
“Alright then.” Xiao Lang carefully rolled up the painting, wanting to put it away.
But at this moment, the girl sitting at the table diagonally across from them walked over, and disdainfully asked, “You said her painting resembles Master Qi Bai?”
“Yes.” Xiao Lang asked, “Who are you?”
“Let me see.” The girl deflected the question and reached out, snatching the painting from his hands and inspecting it.
What kind of person was this?
Bandits?
He didn’t even know her, yet she dared to come up and snatch!
Xiao Lang wanted to take it back, but his heart ached for the painting. He said angrily, “Give me back the painting. Otherwise, I’ll call the police and arrest you!”
The girl took a few glances at the painting and rolled it up. “This isn’t Qi Bai’s painting. The style doesn’t look like it. Don’t think that by associating with Qi Bai’s name, you can artificially inflate the painting’s value.”
After saying that, she threw the painting into Xiao Lang’s arms and turned to leave.
Xiao Lang hurriedly caught it.
Jiang Yining looked at the girl in front of her. She looked a little familiar. She reached out and blocked her way. “You only took two looks and you know it’s not Qi Bai’s painting? Do you know him very well?”
“Much more than you do.”
The girl looked at her arrogantly and spoke with a hint of disdain.
Jiang Yining said an ‘oh’ lightly. “Qi Bai and 1 are old friends. Why didn’t I know that he had someone like you by his side?”
“You know Qi Bai?” The girl sized her up.
“Yes.”
Jiang Yining nodded.
The girl snorted disdainfully. “So what? My father is Qi Bai’s disciple and has inherited Qi Bai’s teachings. I’ve seen Qi Bai’s paintings countless times since I was young. People like you… Probably only met Qi Bai a few times and claims to be acquainted.”
Qi Bai’s disciple?
Jiang Yining’s pupils constricted. She grabbed the girl’s shoulder. “What’s your father’s name?”
“You’re hurting me!” The girl lifted her shoulders and brushed her hand away. “Why should 1 tell you my father’s name? Do 1 know you? Are we familiar?”
Jiang Yining’s expression turned cold. “We may not know each other, but 1 know your father.”
The person who betrayed his master and caused Qi Bai to die with his eyes wide open was the good disciple he had brought up for more than thirty years, Yan Han!
She had been searching for him for so many years, but she hadn’t found any traces of him.
She had thought that she might never find that bastard for the rest of her life!
Unexpectedly, his daughter had obediently delivered herself to her door!
Of course, Jiang Yining would not let go of this opportunity.
“You know my father. How can you not know his name…”
Before the girl could finish her sentence, she heard Jiang Yining grit her teeth and spit out two words that she was extremely familiar with.
“Yan Han.”
The girl was obviously stunned.. “How do you know my father’s name?”
