Chapter 31 Different circles, don’t be inflexible(1/2)
Su Jing followed Ji Qinqin's gaze and was lost in thought for a moment: "So beautiful."
Su Jing was right. Ji Qinqin was also surprised by Jiang Di's appearance today. Although she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Di under the light was indeed particularly beautiful and moving.
The champagne in Ji Qinqin's glass swayed slightly, and she felt vaguely worried.
A few days ago, she learned from Lan Ying that Lin Che would attend the art appreciation meeting today. She pestered Lan Ying for a long time before agreeing to attend on her behalf.
Before going out, Ji Qinqin spent a long time in the cloakroom before putting on this high-end dress worth several million. Although Jiang Di's cheongsam was worth an unknown amount, its temperament alone made it difficult to take away her eyes.
.
Thinking of the scene where Jiang Di and Lin Che danced together at the old house that day, Ji Qinqin felt a little scared.
She was afraid that Jiang Di would steal the spotlight again today, and she didn't want Lin Che to take another look at Jiang Di!
At this moment, half of the lights in the museum were turned off.
A powerful light shines on the booth in the center, and several wooden chairs are placed in a circle around the booth.
Everyone sat down one after another, sitting with people they knew.
Ji Qinqin glanced around and did not see Lin Che's figure, so she simply took Su Jing and sat in the back row so that Lin Che could see her as soon as she came in.
Jiang Di was not particularly familiar with anyone in the celebrity circle, so she also sat in the back row, but she deliberately separated herself from Ji Qinqin by two seats.
A late-arriving celebrity saw that there were no seats in the front row, so she had to stop in the back row.
She glanced at Jiang Di, but she had no impression of this face. She must not have a very powerful family, so she separated an empty seat from Jiang Di and sat down next to Ji Qinqin.
Jiang Di didn't care about this, since there wouldn't be anything in common when we sat together.
The circles are different, don't be too rigid.
This is the truth she concluded after marrying into a wealthy family for more than two years.
At this time, a host in a white suit walked up to the booth and said in a pure broadcasting tone: "What works of art have you brought? You can come to the stage to introduce it, or you can talk about your own feelings to help everyone get inspired.
"
A man with glasses and a gentle appearance stood up: "I brought a piece of newly unearthed blue and white porcelain to taste with everyone."
Jiang Di heard Su Jing whisper in Ji Qinqin's ear: "This is the son of a real estate tycoon. His family is very rich. He just returned from studying abroad."
The man walked to the booth, took out the blue and white porcelain, and explained the history behind it and the exquisite craftsmanship.
Most of the people in the audience came here for Mrs. Ye's sake, and not many people understood art.
But they were all very hypocritical. One or two of them pretended to be serious, and even exclaimed from time to time.
Maybe the upper class is like this. Now that the economic foundation has been laid, the spiritual superstructure is about to begin.
After getting money, these celebrities want to disguise their inner weakness.
Compared with everyone else, Jiang Di, who was sitting in the back row, felt drowsy after listening to it and couldn't help but yawn.
The dazzling light made her eyelids a little tired, her head became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
Ten minutes later, a burst of thunderous applause woke Jiang Di up.
She opened her eyes drowsily and found that someone had already sat in the empty seat next to her.
And he was leaning on that person's shoulder!
Jiang Di quickly moved his head away and whispered: "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Such a familiar voice.
Jiang Di looked up and saw that it was Lin Che.
He was lowering his eyes and smiling at himself, his eyes still so gentle, and there was a faint fragrance on his body, like the purity and elegance of gardenias after rain.
Ji Qinqin, who was sitting aside, stared at Jiang Di with burning eyes, wishing to eat her alive!
She specially left a vacant seat next to her for Lin Che, but as soon as he came in, he sat next to Jiang Di.
He also let her lean on his shoulder and slept for so long!
Ji Qinqin dug her nails into her palms hard, and she didn't even know how hard she was exerting herself.
no!
She wanted to take Lin Che's attention back to herself!
After the bespectacled man walked off the stage, Ji Qinqin was the second to step onto the booth.
She adjusted the height of the microphone and said proudly: "Today, I brought a painting by Bai Lao."
The audience began to make rustling sounds. Although most people don't understand art, they have been hanging out at major auctions all year round. Everyone knows that Bai Lao's paintings are hot collections at the moment.
Everyone was whispering among themselves, guessing which painting of Bai Lao the daughter of the Ji family was bringing today.
Ji Qinqin glanced at the audience and was very satisfied with the effect she had created.
She slowly unfolded the scroll, and the spotlight shone on the scroll, and a beautiful view of the West Lake appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Is this "Love at the West Lake" painted by Bai Lao?" The man with glasses just now was the first to recognize it.
"That's right." Ji Qinqin nodded proudly.
——"Love crossing the West Lake"?
Jiang Di, who was originally distracted, suddenly raised her head when she heard the name of the painting. She looked carefully at the ink painting on the stage and frowned subconsciously.
Lin Che, who was standing next to her, saw that Jiang Di was looking so seriously and asked, "Do you also like Bai Lao's paintings?"
Jiang Di stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth: "I just understood it."
She did not express her doubts:
How could Ji Qinqin have this painting?
"This was painted by Mr. Bai during his first trip to the West Lake. It was also on that day that he met the lover who would stay with him for the rest of his life. Mr. Bai said in media interviews more than once that the person in this painting is who he seemed to be destined to be.
The destined white lady."
Ji Qinqin smoothly introduced this painting to everyone on the stage. You must know that she memorized it for a long time last night.
In fact, she didn't know much about art. Su Jing happened to be attending this appreciation party, so Ji Qinqin gave Su Jing a full 70 million and asked her to help her find a painting. The requirements were that it was expensive, difficult to buy, and famous.
The purpose was to let Lin Che know at this meeting that in addition to being unruly and willful, he also understood the poetic and artistic conception of literati.
As long as you can make him look at you with admiration, it's worth spending no matter how much money you spend!
"Lao Bai, this painting isn't cheap, is it?"
"Miss Ji's family is really rich and discerning!"
Ji Qinqin felt extremely proud as she listened to everyone's praise.
She looked at Lin Che in the back row, but found that his attention was not on her, but on talking to Jiang Di.
Ji Qinqin couldn't tell how jealous she felt. She had made many private appointments with Lin Che, but was politely rejected.
This chance encounter she had finally managed to create and cost a lot of money, but Lin Che couldn't keep her eyes on Ji Qinqin.
She glared at Jiang Di and felt that it was all her fault.
Yesterday, I learned from my mother Lan Ying that her brother was too busy at work, so he asked Jiang Di to attend the tasting on his behalf, but Ji Yan did not help her prepare any artwork.
Unlike Ji Qinqin, Jiang Di had endless pocket money in the Ji family, so he probably didn't have the money to prepare any worthy works of art.
snort.
Ji Qinqin sneered in her heart: If you dare to seduce my man, I will make you look foolish today! See, brother Che still ignores you!
"Everyone is so impressed. I just like to read books and look at paintings. My understanding of art is not as good as that of my sister-in-law -" Ji Qinqin stretched out her arm and pointed to the back row.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Ji Qinqin and landed on Jiang Di.
Even Lin Che, who was beside her, looked at her in disbelief.
If he heard correctly, what Ji Qinqin just said was - sister-in-law.
So, Jiang Di is Ji Yan’s wife?
Lin Che's eyelids trembled slightly due to shock.
People around were whispering to each other:
"It turns out she is Mrs. Ji."
"That said, it seems to have some impression. I have attended their wedding."
"Mrs. Ji seems to have rarely participated in any activities. This face looks a bit strange. No wonder we didn't recognize it."
Jiang Di looked at Ji Qinqin on the stage, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in this gourd.
The person on the stage spoke up: "Sister-in-law, whatever artwork you brought today, please take it out and let us take a look!"
After Ji Qinqin finished speaking, a smile appeared on her lips, intent on seeing Jiang Di's jokes.
Jiang Di understood that he was waiting for her here.
