The next day, Jiang Jingchen and Tang Beibei met John and his wife at the art exhibition.

Tang Beibei exclaimed when she walked into the magnificent art exhibition. She was even more shocked when she saw the prices of some of the artwork.

A painting could be sold for millions, or even tens of millions of yuan!

She couldn’t afford it. No way.

“Beibei, do you like this painting?”

When Jiang Jingchen saw her stop in front of a painting, he thought she liked it.

Tang Beibei waved her hand. “Not really. I’m just looking at this painting that’s worth more than ten million yuan. 1 just want to see what’s so valuable about this painting, but I can’t see anything special about it. Could it be that 1 don’t have any artistic talent? I’m a philistine indeed!”

Jiang Jingchen wanted to laugh but he held it in and explained, “The beauty of a painting is not something that’s seen with the naked eye. It’s the cultural and historical value of the painting, or a special aesthetic. If you like it, we can buy this painting.”

“No, I don’t like it!”

Hearing that he would buy the painting, Tang Beibei was so scared that she quickly stopped him.

More than ten million yuan was a lot of money!

“Hubby, we should save our money. We still have to treat your illness and 1 can’t work yet. We don’t have any income. If we don’t have any savings, our lives will be very difficult in the future.”

Song Zhou secretly checked stock prices on his phone. The stock price of a company his young master had invested in had risen again.

Rising stock prices meant that the young master would make millions of yuan every hour.

Jiang Jingchen listened to Tang Beibei’s lecture and cleared his throat. “Okay, we will be thrifty. We can’t buy things indiscriminately.”

The two of them continued their visit of the art exhibition. Several organizers saw Jiang Jingchen in his wheelchair and wanted to come over and say hi but Jiang Jingchen signaled with his eyes not to approach him.

The few of them were still confused, but when they saw Song Zhou behind

Jiang Jingchen waved them away, they understood and walked away.

Song Zhou watched as the few of them walked away. He turned his head and saw that Tang Beibei did not notice. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Actually, this art exhibition had already ended. But when Jiang Jingchen found out when he was chatting with John and his wife that they didn’t get tickets, he asked the organizers to extend the exhibition.

After walking around, Tang Beibei finally stopped in front of a painting. This time, she was not looking at the price, but at the painting.

She said to Jiang Jingchen, “1 feel that this painting is indescribably sad. The person who painted this is struggling inside. It seems that he is really sad about something.”

Jiang Jingchen looked at the name of the artist and was a little surprised. It turned out to be someone he knew.

“Why do you say that?”

“I don’t know much about art but this painting clearly uses bright colors. However, such gorgeous things look brilliant on the surface, but they cause pain in the heart. Um, it’s the kind of emotion that makes you cry when you are smiling. Hubby, you know the feeling?”

Tang Beibei wanted to express her feelings, but she didn’t know how to make it clear. She felt a little frustrated.

Jiang Jingchen held her hand and looked at her face. “Beibei, have you felt that way before that you could relate so well?”

Tang Beibei was stunned. She wanted to laugh and say that she wouldn’t have encountered such a strange emotion. But if she hadn’t experienced it before, how could she remember it so deeply that it was easily drawn out by a painting?

She changed the subject. “Anyway, this artist is really amazing to be able to produce such a masterpiece that would be admired by generations to come.”

“Beibei, you don’t have to hide your emotions. Laugh when you are happy and tell me when you are unhappy.”

Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. “Okay. 1 think John and his wife should be done. Let’s go.” contemporary romance

Jiang Jingchen thought that it would take more time for her to open up and accept him wholeheartedly.

He turned to look at Song Zhou and pointed at the painting, telling him to buy it.

Song Zhou walked up to the painting and saw that it cost more than 20 million yuan; the corners of his mouth twitched.

However, when the young madam liked something and the young master could afford it, he would buy it!

John and his wife were very happy to be able to visit the art exhibition. They talked non-stop about the exhibition over dinner. Tang Beibei listened quietly and exclaimed occasionally.

Jiang Jingchen asked her softly, “Do you understand what they are saying?”

Tang Beibei shook her head. “Actually, they speak really fast. 1 can’t even catch what they are saying, let alone understand.”

Well, she was acting rather naturally.

After dinner, John had a good time and wanted to take a photo with them and post it on his WeChat Moments to commemorate their fate.

Song Zhou couldn’t have asked for more. He quickly took photos of the group, thinking that if the couple introduced their son to his young master, the possibility of their cooperation would increase by 8o%.

After sending off John and his wife, Tang Beibei was back at the hotel. Thinking about the classes she had missed in the past few days, she wanted to go back as soon as possible.

But she also wondered if she would get her stolen bag back… Sigh.

“The room rate here is so expensive. I want to go back to China.”

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t leave yet. He could only return to China after he had settled this cooperation.

He caressed her face and comforted, “No hurry. I’ve already sent someone to find your bag. It’s okay if you lose the money, but you have to find your ID card and other documents.”

“It’s best if we can find it.”

Tang Beibei didn’t have much hope, but it would be troublesome if she didn’t get those things back.

“Young Madam, look what I found for you.”

Song Zhou took out a painting and handed it to Tang Beibei.

“Eh, isn’t this the painting I saw at the art exhibition? You bought it?” Tang Beibei was shocked.

Song Zhou explained, “No, I happen to know this artist, so I asked him to give his work to Young Madam. He agreed, but he said that he wanted to invite you and Young Master for a meal together. Consider it a gift for making new friends.”

“A gift?”

Tang Beibei was surprised, but she was also a little curious about what kind of person the artist was.

“Okay, he gave me a painting. I’ll treat him to a meal.”

“Then 1’11 reply to his message.” Song Zhou glanced at Jiang Jingchen. When he nodded, Song Zhou turned and left.

Tang Beibei took the painting and peeled open the wrapper bit by bit. She asked Jiang Jingchen, “The artist gave me his work, so it’s mine. What I do with it is my business, right?”

“Of course.”

Tang Beibei then said, “How should I price it if I sell the painting?”

Jiang Jingchen almost choked. “Beibei, don’t you like this painting? Why are you selling it?”

“I do like it, but 1 don’t know how to appreciate it. I’m just a philistine, and there’s no point in collecting this painting. 1 might as well sell it to someone who knows how to appreciate it and maximize the value of this painting.”

“… Beibei, you’re right.” Jiang Jingchen nodded. It was just 20 million yuan. She could play with it however she wanted.

“Then where do you think we should sell it in order to fetch a high price?”

“Auction house. Let Song Zhou contact them. He knows how to handle it.” Jiang Jingchen replied.

Tang Beibei sighed. “1 should minor in finance. I can definitely make money!”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled and rubbed her head. “If you study finance, then, Beibei, I’ll invest ioo% of my shares in you so you can manage the rest of your life..”
