Chapter 193 My Great Painter
Jiang Ruoli crossed her arms and stepped on high heels, with a strong aura. Her eyes, which were usually bright, were now raised high, like a little fox on alert.
Pei Zigui's hand naturally rested on the curved part of Jiang Ruoli's waist. He glanced down at the woman standing in front of them, and no emotion could be heard in his cold voice.
"You mean, you want to give me the painting?"
Qin Yushan nodded shyly, with a gentle smile on her face. "I didn't know you were the one in Room 1. I didn't expect that we would like the same painting."
Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath, couldn't help but quickly closed his eyes and rolled his eyes upwards.
comfortable.
When she opened them again, her clear and pretty eyes were filled with her signature fake smile again.
"Oh? You don't know? Really?"
Qin Yushan licked her lips in panic. For some reason, she always felt that being stared at by such a pair of eyes was like standing naked in front of her, without reservation.
"Zigui, you see Miss Jiang misunderstood me. I really didn't know. Didn't I send this painting to you as soon as I knew it was you?"
Qin Yushan’s idea was very simple. If this painting was hung in front of Pei Zigui, he would think of her whenever he saw it in the future.
Pei Zigui sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"She is my wife. In front of me, you should call her Mrs. Pei instead of Miss Jiang, understand?
You said you didn’t know that the person in Room 1 was me. Whether it’s true or not is not important. The question now is…”
The man narrowed his eyes and looked fierce.
"You spent more than 800 million yuan to bid against me twice, and finally bought this painting, and then gave it to me as a gift. Do you think you are not clear-headed or I don't understand Chinese? Why didn't you understand what Miss Qin meant?"
Qin Yushan's body swayed, and she opened her mouth in bewilderment, but could not utter a word for a long time. In her impression, although Pei Zigui was aloof and arrogant, and never got close to others, he at least treated people with courtesy, and would never say excessive words or disdain to argue with others.
So, even for Qin Zisen's sake, when she got Pei Zigui's help, she always felt that she should be a little special in Pei Zigui's heart, at least, not those strangers who passed by.
But now, when they met again, he hugged another woman and spoke extremely cold words.
"I……"
Qin Yushan opened her mouth to explain, but she didn't know what to say. Of course, she knew who was in Room 1. She had done it on purpose, so why would she rush to find an excuse?
"I just want to give you this painting as a token of my gratitude for your care over the past few years."
"I said, I'm just helping Qin Zisen, Miss Qin, don't mention it again. Besides, my wife will be unhappy, she's more difficult to appease."
The tone sounded more like a warning. Qin Yushan swallowed nervously and turned slightly to look at Jiang Ruoli.
"Jiang Xiao...Mrs. Pei, please don't think too much. I am just simply expressing my gratitude. Look at this painting..."
Jiang Ruoli couldn't bear to see her pretending to be aggrieved, so he stepped out of Pei Zigui's arms and hugged the man's arm instead.
"Honey, do you like this painting?"
For the first time, Pei Zigui realized the true meaning of the four words "dilemma". It would be insincere to say that he didn't like her, and he was afraid that Jiang Ruoli would settle the score with him when he returned home.
He could imagine the little fox's expression as he stood on the sofa with his hands on his hips and questioned him why he didn't like such an excellent work.
But if he said he liked her, wouldn't that mean he was giving Qin Yushan the opportunity to give him a painting? In this case, Jiang Ruoli would be unhappy again.
It’s not okay to say I like it, and it’s even worse to say I don’t like it.
For the first time, the man who had always been good at planning and strategizing felt the headache and entanglement of answering questions.
After pondering for a moment, he heard Jiang Ruoli's sweet and pleasant voice.
"Hubby, since Miss Qin insisted on giving it to us, it's hard to refuse her kindness, so let's accept it."
Jiang Ruoli let go of Pei Zigui's arm and tilted his head to smile at Qin Yushan, "Ms. Qin, thank you~"
Qin Yushan smiled slightly, "You're welcome. I think this painting is very suitable to be hung in your home, given the painter's style."
Jiang Ruoli calmly lifted the hair beside her ears, revealing a pair of sparkling diamond earrings. She swayed them, and the pendants collided, making crisp sounds.
Qin Yushan curled her knuckles. Isn’t this a new product from a certain brand that was just released a few days ago?
The high-end model caused a sensation as soon as it was released. Many people flocked to it, but were stopped by its high price.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruoli had already put it on.
Her heart trembled slightly. It would happen. When she became Mrs. Pei, all this would be possible.
"Is Miss Qin familiar with this painter?"
Jiang Ruoli's question interrupted Qin Yushan's thoughts. Her heart trembled slightly and she clenched her hands.
"Are you talking about Oriri? We met at a banquet abroad and I've photographed a few of her paintings before. We're considered friends."
Jiang Ruoli fiddled with her earrings with interest, a gleam in his eyes: "Oh? Is she pretty?"
Qin Yushan had never seen the painter Zhili before, so she could only respond casually, "She's pretty."
"is it?"
Jiang Ruoli burst out laughing, and what she said next made Qin Yushan so uneasy that her toes curled up in her high heels.
"Thank you Miss Qin for praising my beauty, and thank you Miss Qin for spending more than 800 million to buy my painting. Finally, I want to thank Miss Qin for giving the painting to my husband and me. I will definitely hang it up at home."
Jiang Ruoli raised her arm and nudged Pei Zigui beside her affectionately, saying in a coquettish tone: "Honey, should we hang it in the dining room? Or in the study?"
Pei Zigui was not at all surprised by Jiang Ruoli's self-explosion. He raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the playful girl with a smile on his face, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"As you please."
The man looked across, his dark eyes instantly split open, and the doting look just now turned cold.
He said indifferently, "Miss Qin, since my wife has spoken, please keep the painting. Please ask someone to send it to Lanting Garden."
There was a crack in Qin Yushan's eyes, and her face was full of disbelief.
How could Jiang Ruoli be the painter Zhili? Wasn't she a spoiled young lady who knew nothing but spending money and throwing tantrums?
When he looked up, his suspicious eyes met Jiang Ruoli's smiling eyes.
"Ms. Qin, do you have any other questions? Are you reluctant to part with this painting?"
Jiang Ruoli blinked innocently, "That won't work. I've already decided to hang the painting in the glass greenhouse. After all, that's where the inspiration for this painting came from."
A hint of shyness flashed across her radiant eyes, and Miss Jiaojiao explained sympathetically: "This is the rose house that my husband built for me overnight. Next time you are free, you can come to our house to check in."
The innocent eyes, as cool as autumn water, were so serious that Qin Yushan couldn't say anything harsh. She spent more than 8 million to buy someone else's wife's painting, and gave it to the original owner in front of the painter himself. It would be embarrassing to tell others about this.
What else could she say.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Qin Yushan left in a hurry without even having time to say goodbye.
Behind her, Pei Zigui and Jiang Ruoli didn't even look over, and didn't care whether she left or stayed.
Pei Zigui held the little girl's head, rubbed it affectionately, and said with a calm smile: "Let's go, my great painter."
As Jiang Ruoli was led outside by him, he felt more and more that something was wrong. Why was this man so calm?
"Did you already know that Ori was me?"
