Chapter 536 – Gu Shishi did not expect she would run into these people on the first day of her exhibition. (1)
Huo Sishen reached his arms under her knees and back and scooped up her soft body.
Kicking with his log leg, he flipped over the blanket and put his feet on the floor.
“What are you doing?”
Gu Shishi was stupefied.
She was talking about her art exhibition, art exhibition!
Did she say anything that could be considered as seductive?
Looking at the bathroom that was getting closer and closer, she wanted to dry.
“The president and the others are coming over to look at my work. They will be monitoring the workers taking pictures and loading the paintings.”
For the precious work, ensuring their safety is very important. There would be high-definition pictures and also property insurance. These were all standard operations.
“Hey, hey, hey. Did you hear what I am saying? Stop messing around. It’s almost 10 o’clock.”
“Of course you need to shower first before you meet your guests,” said Huo Sishen with a hoarse voice. He didn’t even raise his brows as he talked.
Gu Shishi was dazed for half a second. She finally floundered in the hot water after she was placed inside the bathtub and half of her nightgown was wet.
“Okay, I can bathe. Why are you getting in?”
“We will do it together. Faster this way.”
“…………”
The final outcome of making the mistakes of falling for the man’s words was Gu Shishi barely getting ready just a minute before 10 AM and waited in front of their house for President Huang Chuan’s arrival in a lady-like manner.
In addition to Huang Chuan, Old Mr. Lei and a few others had also shamelessly invited themselves ver.
They used helping out the art association as an excuse but were really just there to see what was going on and, of course, to check out Huo Xiao Bao.
As the child was very sheltered, the elders at the art association didn’t have a lot of chances to see the baby.
Now that an opportunity had presented itself, of course they weren’t going to let it slip.
Nevertheless, as soon as they arrived, they were so stunned that they had forgotten about the baby.
Event though they had always known that her husband was generous and had no problem spending globs of money on buying paintings, but they didn’t know that he was a rich man with exquisite taste.
This being their first time to Gu Shishi’s place, they were immediately dazzled by all sorts of paintings on the wall.
“Was this the final painting of Master Yang that was rumored to be in France?”
“And this Galloping Horse looks to be real?”
“Heh? Is this oil painting the one listed on last year’s auction catalog that was finally sold to a secret buyer?”
Huo Sishen was a little embarrassed. As she liked them, her prodigal man had purchased quite a bit of them.
He even said that they were worth every penny. Not only did she like them, their son liked them too. They could be pass on down in the future.
The family of three were basked in the influence of art every day.
Those, to the elders, was a big shock.
The décor of the house had them forgotten the purpose of their trip.
The blue-and-white porcelain vase with flowers in it sitting on top of the table was from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The wood carving by the stairs looked to be from some famous artists…… when they walked inside of Gu Shishi’s studio on the second floor, it was further filled with all sorts of expensive calligraphies, paintings and art pieces.
Their costs aside, their artistic values were stunning.
“…… No wonder our friend little Gu has such high artistic concept at her young age.”
“This is exactly what it meant by ‘read it 300 times and you will learn it on your own’.”
“Look at this, President, and learn from it. This is what you’d call influence of the atmosphere. You should at least give our venue some creative atmosphere. This is exactly why we so little award-winning work the last few years.”
The members of the art association were all experts in calligraphy and painting and possessed extremely high artistic accomplishments.
Others might only see the price tag when they saw these collections but, to them, these were precious items that were greater than life itself and that they could stare at for hours each day and dust them a few times a day!
They may all have an appreciation for them but not every one could afford to buy them and appreciate them up close.
All of a sudden, the room was filled with envy!
“Alright, let’s not forget why we are here!”
Huang Chuan rolled his eyes and his beard curled up.
Gu Shishi quickly smiled at them and said, “You are welcome to visit in the future.”
Huo Sishen, too, had started socializing. Per Qin Ruhai’s advice, she could bring him with her to some social gatherings or invite friends over so he could slowly get use to the liveliness of being around others.
“Let’s head to my collection room.”
Gu Shishi led the way.
The group of smiling elders followed behind her as they turned and looked repeatedly on their way.
