Chapter 448 – Gu Shishi’s mouth dropped open when she spotted a familiar face that had just round the corner. (1)
[Greetings. I came across your work at the exhibition and felt very enlightened by them. It was as though I had rebirthed. I sincerely hope to bee friends with you…]
When she received the text from Gu Jiangxin, it was Gu Shishi’s first time learning that her father was actually quite cultured.
A dawg in suit kind of cultured!
As she appreciated how cultured her father was, she also used that as a lesson for her baby.
Gu Shishi did not respond to the text. As such, the seasoned Gu Jiangxin kept on texting her a few more times.
He had obviously copied pasted text on ink painting appreciation and wordily expressed how a painter would transfer their emotions into their paintings. He also said that her cranes looked like the emperor of the Song dynasty had himself reincarnated. That the majesty of her relaxing wild crane was unrivaled and exuded royalness.
Upon reading that, Gu Shishi laughed so hard while holding onto her stomach she was short of snorting out loud.
Song Huizong was an awful emperor but his achievement in art was unquestionable. In particular, he had very unique style when it came to painting of birds and flowers.
.....
He formed his own school. His touch was gentle and refined. Even the feathers of the birds look realistic. They were both classy and elegant.

But his specialty with gongbi.
Her painting of the cranes, on the other hand, was freestyle. It had absolutely nothing to do with Song Huizong’s painting!
Nevertheless, Gu Jiangxin was very confident in his cheat and had no idea that he was way off.
[Grandmaster, are you willing to part with your three paintings? It had captured my heart and soul. I now must head over to the exhibition hall everyday to look at them. I had even taken pictures of them and must look at them for dozens of times every night before I go to bed.]
[Grandmaster is so highly distinguished. I would love to be able to join you in art appreciation over a bottle of wine.]
[These three paintings were definitely work that could be passed down for centuries.]
Gu Jiangxin’s rainbow fart was uniquely flavored.
Unfortunately, Gu Shishi didn’t care for that at all.
She watched him sent rainbow farts her way for three days, groveling desperately before she leisurely replied two words to him on the fourth day.
“Not selling.”
Gu Jiangxin, who was in a meeting at the headquarter at the time, almost crushed his cellphone with his bare hand!
The old blood in his chest roiled.
[Grandmaster, perhaps you want to give it more thought? Are you sure this is your final answer?]
[Perhaps you have no idea about my standing in City Shun… … I am sincere in my pursuit!]
He straight up forwarded her his name and his total asset listed on Forbes ranking!
Naturally, Gu Shishi just pretended that she didn’t see it all at.
Gu Jiangxin could not be more despondent. He had no choice but to give up!
He was a vicious one. As long as there was still a shred of hope, he would not give up; but once he realized that there was no chance of it happening, he would back off immediately. There would be no hesitation whatsoever!
He immediately tossed his phone aside and tried to e up with Plan B!
The paintings could not be the only thing that Mayor Liu desired.
He might enjoy classy and high-end arts but, with his salary as a mayor, he couldn’t possibly afford even one of the paintings!
Gu Jiangxin squinted and laced his fingers together.
Worst case scenario, there was still Secretary Zhang, and those above Mayor Liu…
While Gu Jiangxin was trying to e up with Plan B, he never would have thought that Mayor Liu went to visit the Chen family.
“Aunty.”
Mayor Liu presented his gifts to Old Mrs. Chen respectfully.
“This is your favorite rose tea back in the days from Shanlitun.”
“Hah, Liu Qin, it has been so many years. I can’t believe you still remember that.”
Old Mrs. Chen smiled so much that all of her wrinkles were on display.
“I will never forget what Aunty had done for my mother back in the days.”
Mayor Liu would not slack any in front of Old Mrs. Chen.
Gu Jiangxin would most likely e unglue were he aware of this.
