Chapter 423 Their Honeymoon 7
Then they only stay for three days, and Dad Fang urges them to leave.
“Dad, we’d like to stay until National Day and then leave!” Tang Cao says shamelessly.
Dad Fang sneers, “Dream it! I marry a daughter into your family. Why do you live in my house? Hurry back with your wife.”
“I can pay the cost for food!” Tang Cao shouts.
Dad Fang is unmoved, and lets him lead Fang Diandian who is laughing to leave.
Before getting into the car, Tang Cao says, “Mom, please tell Dad. We will come back to visit you every weekend in the future!”
“Okay!” Mom Fang becomes more satisfied as she looks at her son-in-law, “Your dad didn’t really want you to leave. He was afraid that the neighbors would gossip.”
“I see, Mom. Now we shall leave!”
Fang Diandian waves in the car.
“Have they left?” Dad Fang then pokes his head out.
“Or let’s go to buy a house beside the house of Tang Family?” Mom Fang closes the door and says, “The house price is expensive, but if we sell this house, we can afford it, can’t we?”
Dad Fang shakes his head, “Why should we move there? They will think that we are worried about our daughter. It’s okay. Didn’t they say that they would come back every week? I guess they will move out of the house of Tang Family after they have children, and we will buy a house to live with them together.”
He asked Tang Cao to go back because he was afraid of Tang Family members would have opinions. How could the new couple always live in their house? If other people didn’t know the situation, they would think that he didn’t let them go.
“Your dad just thought too much.” Bai Susu sees them come back so soon, and smiles after hearing Dad Fang’s response, “He will know that our family doesn’t have so many rules in the future.”
Tang Cao is rarely serious to say, “Mom, please help me see if there is some extra villas for sale later.”
“You want to take your parents-in-law here to live?”
Tang Cao hisses, glances at Diandian who is playing with the twins and whispers, “Yeah, I don’t know it until now that my father-in-law just goes to the office to have a look every day. He hires a professional manager and says that it will be OK to have enough to spend. He feels relieved that I can take care of Diandian. And he wants to enjoy the life.”
“I just think how boring the old couple will be at home all day! Or we can buy one house next to ours and take them to live here too. You see my sister lives so close that our house is lively.”
Bai Susu certainly has no objection. But it is almost impossible to buy a villa in this place now.
“I’ll ask someone to see who else has one to sell!” She thinks about it, “Go to ask your sister how her father-in-law bought one previously.”
Tang Duo sent the twins here today and left. She has had a lot of commercial activities recently. She takes over the responsibility of the several foundations which Bai Susu participated before. But when she returns in the afternoon, she looks furious.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Cao jumps up, “Someone bullied you?”
Tang Duo gulps down a glass of water, “Why only you come back? Didn’t Diandian come back?”
“She told stories to the twins upstairs just now, and all three of them fell asleep finally.” When Tang Cao mentions his wife, he feels her to be cute and smiles very happily.
Tang Duo glances at him and Tang Cao quickly adjusts his expression, “Sister, why are you angry?”
“Are you back?” Bai Susu comes out of the study, sees the sister and brother, and finds that Tang Duo is angry, “What’s wrong?”
“Today I went to drink tea with a few aunts after working, and met my uncle’s new wife.” Tang Duo rolls her eyes, “I really can’t understand what she was thinking. She said in front of so many people that Lang Ruoxian bullied her family.”
Bai Susu frowns, “What did you answer?”
“Since she was shameless, why should I save her face?” Tang Duo sneers. Everyone knows that she usually talks words against those in person. Bao Yi wanted to embarrass her. Dream it!
“I said that it had nothing to do with you. During the New Year, Uncle personally stated that Lang Consortium was a key hostile company in the company meeting. What did she mean by questioning me at present? Did Uncle ask her to do so? What… Did they want to ask for mercy?”
Tang Duo questioned ruthlessly. Bao Yi was gotten so embarrassed to run away without drinking tea.
“She had been too leisurely after giving birth to a child, so came out to find a sense of presence, didn’t she?” Tang Cao clicks his tongue. A few days ago, a rich second generation sent a photo of a dinner party, with Bao Yi on it.
“Look at her. She dressed in jewels, for fear that others didn’t know that she was rich.”
Bai Susu hasn’t seen this woman for a long time. She glances at the photo and says, “Don’t care about her. She has a bad reputation in the circle. I’ll wait and see how long Tang Ming can pet her.”
Does she really think that marrying a wealthy man, she just needs to be beautiful and spends money on shopping and beauty? Those accomplished rich wives who go to attend parties will be able to bring back messages which can’t be found out in the market.
Don’t underestimate these messages, which seem to be inconspicuous. But if you go into them seriously, big secrets will be revealed.
“I am afraid that Tang Ming hasn’t known what she did outside.” Bai Susu looks up to see Fang Diandian come down, and shifts the topic, “How is Diandian’s studio?”
Fang Diandian just wakes up and says sleepily, “The twins are still asleep!”
“Mom asked about you.” Tang Duo comes over and rubs her head, “I’ll go up and see them.”
Tang Cao suddenly puts the icy cola in his hands on Fang Diandian’s face, and Fang Diandian shivers.
“Ah! Bad boy!”
Tang Cao laughs and runs away. Fang Diandian chases him behind. Bai Susu shakes her head and goes into the kitchen.
“What did Mom ask me just now?” Tired of running, Fang Diandian collapses on the sofa.
Tang Cao sits next to her, “Well, Mom asked about the studio.”
“Ah! I’m going to work tomorrow.” Fang Diandian feels that she’s going to be decadent. She hasn’t been to the studio for almost three months since the wedding preparation.
“I’ll send you there tomorrow. Shall we have a meal together at noon?” Tang Cao asks her.
Fang Diandian thinks for a while, “I will invite my colleagues to have a meal at noon tomorrow. During this time, they have worked hard. You can pick me up tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay, Chen Xiaopang invited us to have dinner together. I’ll pick you up and go straight to the restaurant.”
Fang Diandian’s gallery is not far from her university, and there are many studios run by rookie designers. The government supported the studios before, and now they are up to themselves.
Art can get someone rich overnight. But someone… Someone will be destitute all their lives.
Fang Diandian hopes to do her best to make the students’ painting careers more successful. At present, the result is not bad. The gallery has been open for nearly a year, and each week it can sell out several paintings.
“Boss, you are finally back!” As soon as she enters the studio, the young girl at the front desk runs out excitedly.
Fang Diandian hands her a bag, “Well-done! This is a gift for you.”
“Thank you, boss!” The young girl happily accepts it and answers, “I will keep up the good work!”
Fang Diandian continues to walk in and enters the office area on the right. She has two assistants, both of whom graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts. When they see her, they both run out as happily as the young girl at the front desk.
“You’re finally back!”
“Why do you all say this?” Fang Diandian touches her face, “I doubt whether I have been absent from work for a long time.”
The girl with a round face named Ou says, “It’s really a long time! It’s almost three months. We just met you at the wedding, and no one has seen you since.”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry! I am back now, and I will come every day.” Fang Diandian hands the gifts to them and says, “To reward your contribution, I’ll invite you to dinner at noon!”
All of her studio staff are girls. It’s not that she doesn’t deliberately not recruit men but just a coincidence. Because there are all girls, so they naturally choose hot pot for lunch at their own will. After being full up, everyone returns to the gallery. Fang Diandian begins to count the number of the paintings sold in the past few months.
“Boss, although we can sell a few pictures every month, which is not bad for a new gallery, but…” Panpan is the other employee, who says with some worry, “We receive more paintings from the students each month.”
Fang Diandian asks, “How many paintings are there now?”
“Plus those hung in the exhibition hall, there are altogether 165 paintings.”
It’s a bit too many…
Generally, the number of paintings in a gallery won’t exceed 100, unless it is a particularly large gallery. But there are no such galleries in the country at present…
“Now it’s summer vacation. I think there will be more students sending paintings here.” Ou has a bitter face, “What can we do? The exhibition hall can’t contain so many. Will we take turns to exhibit?”
Fang Diandian thinks for a moment, and then suddenly her eyes light up, “Or how about having an art exhibition?”
“Art exhibition?” Ou and Panpan glance at each other, “Can it work?”
Most of the works are from unknown students. Except Fang Diandian’s teacher is a famous artist, others are really…
“Let’s have a try!” Fang Diandian is quite confident, “The art exhibition we make is different from those of others. I will tell you in details when I think it over.”
The young girl at the front desk uses the internal line to say that there are customers to come to see the paintings, and Ou hurries out to be the receptionist.
Fang Diandian and Panpan discuss the exhibition, but Ou runs back within a few minutes.
“Boss, you… You’d better go to have a look quickly!”
“What’s wrong?” Fang Diandian stands up.
“A student quarreled with the customer.”
Fang Diandian hurries to the exhibition hall. She thinks whether the customer happened to buy the painting of the student, and then there was a misunderstanding between the two sides. But when she arrives there, there is indeed a customer who wants to buy a student’s paintings, but that student is unwilling.
“Lin Feng?” Fang Diandian is a little surprised to see Lin Feng, “Why are you free today?”
A thin and tall man turns around. He is elegant and handsome with neat features, who looks very graceful. If he wears an ancient costume, he will be a modest gentleman with graceful temperament who is as gentle as jade. However, his expression is not nice, obviously being angry.
“Fang Diandian.” Lin Feng nods and says, “Sorry to trouble you. Please help me put away all the paintings!”
“Lin Feng, why are you so stubborn?” There are two women behind Lin Feng. One of them is a plump middle-aged woman, who says with dissatisfaction, “I just want to help you. Don’t you want to sell paintings? It will be the same to sell them to anybody.”
“Sorry, Mrs. Huo, my paintings are not so valuable. Your price is too high for me to sell.”
The Mrs. Huo laughs, “I think it’s worth the money! Besides, I have additional conditions. You should come to my house to teach me to paint every week.”
Fang Diandian curses in her heart when she sees the two women behind him. She knows one of them, who is Bao Yi, the new wife of Tang Ming…
