Chapter 248: Precious Paintings

Qiao Xi moved closer and said with a serious expression, “Yao Mengqing was indeed using you but it’s not that you’re too stupid. You’re just too naive. That’s not wrong.

“It’s exactly because she knew that you’re innocent that she used you. You thought she was very good to you, so you treated her sincerely. You couldn’t guess her motives. Actually, this is a good thing. At least, in your eyes, the world is pure.”

Gu Yao was intoxicated by her gentle voice. Qiao Xi’s comforting words made him feel enlightened, and his dark eyes lit up.

Qiao Xi’s words came from her heart. Gu Yao was just an innocent boy. He would give up everything to whoever treated him well. That was why Yao Mengqing had targeted him and made use of his innocence.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Gu Yao’s tears fell.

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched as she panicked. What should she do now?

After returning home, Qiao Xi felt a little upset. She thought that Gu Yao liked to draw a lot and it just so happened that she had a few paintings in her hands. They should be able to cheer Gu Yao up.

She hurriedly got up and rummaged through the storeroom until she found a few dusty paintings.

The next morning, she hurriedly sent them to Gu Yao.

Qiao Xi rubbed his head. “Ah Yao, I find you more and more likable. Although you caused me trouble the first time we met, you were still willing to accept me and bought the clothes I designed. I’m really very happy. I know you like to paint, so I’m giving you a few paintings. Although they got a little dirty in the storeroom, they’re still paintings. Don’t be sad anymore.”

Gu Yao had already recovered from his sorrow, but he was not too interested in the paintings she mentioned.

He was not someone who would take a liking to just any painting. Qiao Xi could not produce anything of value either, but on the account of her kind intentions, he would definitely accept them.

However, when Qiao Xi revealed the canvases…

Gu Yao widened his eyes. “You put these paintings in the storeroom?”

These were the paintings of the genius painter, Xue Liang! Qiao Xi actually kept them in the storeroom?

Qiao Xi: “?”

These paintings were all defective goods that Fourth Brother did not want. She had been keeping them in the storeroom and chose a few relatively clean ones to give to Gu Yao. She just wanted him to look at the paintings and not think about sad things.

Did Gu Yao have to be so surprised?

…

Longwan Residential.

Song Shijing said respectfully, “President, Miss Yao Mengqing called and said that she would give you two tickets to Xue Liang’s art exhibition. You can bring Young Madam there. It’s an apology for what happened earlier.”

Gu Zheng paused in his actions, his expression cold.

Xue Liang’s art exhibition?

He said casually, “Say that I don’t have time.”

Song Shijing knew that the president would not go. It was just an art exhibition. If the president really wanted to see it, the person in charge would have sent the tickets over personally. Yao Mengqing did not have to send him tickets at all.

If the president accepted these two tickets, it would mean that he had forgiven Yao Mengqing.

Yao Mengqing had been waiting for the call but when she received the reply, she gritted her teeth and smiled awkwardly. “Alright, bye.”

After hanging up, she frowned slightly.

Yao Mengqing’s younger sister asked curiously, “He’s still not willing to forgive you?”

The two of them were in the coffee shop. Yao Mengqing was sad. Her younger sister, Yao Mengqi, knew that she was having a conflict with an important friend, so she accompanied her out to relax.

Yao Mengqi was somewhat surprised. “He’s not willing to go even though you’ve invited him to Xue Liang’s art exhibition? Does he even know about Xue Liang?”

Xue Liang was a genius painter. His works were hard to get even if one had money, and the art exhibition would be packed with people. Even the president would bring his family to attend it. Moreover, the people who could attend his art exhibition were all either rich or noble.

The Yao family had tried their best to get two tickets to the art exhibition, but the other party rejected the tickets?

The tickets to Xue Liang’s art exhibition were tickets to enter the high society. Many big shots could be seen there.

That person was actually unwilling to go. It seemed that he did not know Xue Liang’s identity and did not know how precious this ticket was.

Yao Mengqi mocked, “He’s obviously a country bumpkin. Sister, how did you get to know such a friend? He doesn’t even know Xue Liang, so he’s definitely not a big shot.”

Gu Zheng naturally knew about Xue Liang, but it was hard to say for Qiao Xi. She might not have gone to an art exhibition before and could not appreciate paintings..
