After getting the key to Huai'an Painting Hall, Mu Qian had somewhere to go in her free time.
Although the exhibition opened after her wedding to Huo Jinxi, apart from dealing with Huo Jinxi, most of her time was still spent on preparing for the exhibition.
On this day, Mu Qian stayed in the painting studio until night again. When Huo Jinxi left the company, he learned that she had not left yet, so he ordered the driver to come here.
As expected, the lights in the painting hall were still on. Huo Jinxi got out of the car and saw Mu Qian standing with his back to the door as soon as he entered.
In front of Mu Qian, the place where her childhood portrait should have been was replaced by a picture of peonies.
Mu Qian stood in front of the peony picture, quietly watching.
Huo Jinxi walked forward slowly and stood beside her, "Where's the picture from before?"
Mu Qian turned to look at him and smiled, "What do you think of putting this picture here?"
"It doesn't match your father's usual style." Huo Jinxi replied.
Mu Qian suddenly laughed.
Huo Jinxi was right. Mu Huaian's painting style has always been cold, with simple colors but strong style. Just like the portrait of Mu Qian when he was ten years old, only two tones of black and red were used. However, only when painting peonies,
He will apply the thickest and fullest colors to make the peonies painted extraordinarily bright and eye-catching.
"Because he painted this for his favorite woman." Mu Qian said, "Such a strong use of color represents the full love in his heart. When he painted these peonies, he was not a painter, just a painter.
man."
This painting was the one that was originally exhibited at Fang Miao's New York art exhibition. When Rong Qingzi sold Mu Huaian's paintings indiscriminately, Fang Miao rushed over and only had time to accept this painting.
He kept it properly until Mu Qian asked him about it, and he immediately sent someone to deliver the painting.
In Mu Qian's opinion, this is the painting that best expresses her father's inner emotions. What should be placed in this position is not her childhood portrait, but this flourishing peony.
"The person he loves most is his mother after all, but it's a pity that she never wants to see these paintings again." She was silent for a moment and then added, "But this is a painting exhibition that belongs to dad, so it should be arranged according to his wishes."
Huo Jinxi listened quietly, but did not make any comments. After a long time, he said: "Go home."
Mu Qian came back to her senses and suddenly seemed to realize something. She covered her mouth in a somewhat exaggerated manner, "You came to pick me up specially? Then it's really a sin for me to delay for so long. Let's go now!"
She quickly took her handbag, turned around and took Huo Jinxi's arm. As she walked out, she asked: "Hey, do you know Songling, the master of traditional Chinese painting? And Wu Pan, the master of calligraphy? I heard that
Do you also know the owners of the two auction houses on this street?"
She smiled ambiguously and doglegly, clearly asking for something from him, but Huo Jinxi didn't really want to answer.
Mu Qian still held him tight until they left the house. Although Huo Jinxi didn't respond, in the eyes of outsiders, they were still an extremely obsessed couple.
Mu Qian tugged on his tie and shirt. Just as she was getting entangled, a pair of lovers appeared across the street and caught her sight. Mu Qian suddenly stopped and raised her eyes.
When she caught a glimpse of them from the corner of her eye, she thought the two figures looked familiar. Now when she looked at them, she saw that they indeed knew each other - Ye Jinfan and Lu Tang.
Huo Jinxi followed her line of sight and turned his head to look, his eyebrows slightly twisted.
As if aware of the two people's gazes, Ye Jinfan raised his head. After seeing the two people, he quickly led Lu Tang over and said, "Qianqian, Mr. Huo, what a coincidence?"
Mu Qian glanced at Lu Tang's hand on Ye Jinfan's arm. Coincidentally, Lu Tang also stared at her hand on Huo Jinxi's arm.
"Why is Brother Ye here?" Mu Qian asked.
"We just finished a concert." Ye Jinfan replied, "The car happened to be parked here. I didn't expect to meet you. Are you here to attend the concert too?"
"No." Mu Qian pointed to the Huai'an Painting Hall behind her, "I'm preparing an art exhibition here. If you have time, Brother Ye is welcome to visit."
After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Tang next to Ye Jinfan moving her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. However, she glanced at Huo Jinxi and suppressed what she wanted to say, and instead said: "It turns out that Mr. Huo is very interested in famous paintings.
Are you so interested? I also have a lot of famous paintings collected at home. I should have invited Mr. Huo to my home more often. Maybe the relationship between our two families will be much closer now. It’s a pity..."
After finishing speaking, Lu Tang glanced at Mu Qian, as if he was hesitant to speak, but the contempt in his eyes was not concealed.
After hearing this, Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and looked at Huo Jinxi, "Do you know Miss Lu? Do you have many famous paintings in Miss Lu's home? Why didn't you go take a look?"
"I don't know if the Lu family has any famous paintings." Huo Jinxi said without any pretense, "There are quite a few famous people, but I'm not interested in getting to know them."
"You..." Lu Tang's expression changed. He wanted to refute something but hesitated. After a pause, he still sarcastically said, "That's right. To make a man interested in getting to know him, he has to be like Mu.
A woman like Miss, right?"
As soon as she said these words, Huo Jinxi's expression did not change, but his eyes suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Lu Tang lightly, and Lu Tang immediately shrank behind Ye Jinfan subconsciously.
Mu Qian laughed out loud, "Thank you, Miss Lu, for the compliment. After all, it's not my fault that you are talented and beautiful."
As she spoke, she looked into the car window in front of her in the mirror. She had an aura of frivolous narcissism and a beauty without brains.
When Lu Tang saw this, he was a little worried about Huo Jin Xi and disliked Mu Qian, so he secretly pulled Ye Jinfan. Ye Jinfan could only say goodbye to the two of them and took Lu Tang away first.
As soon as the two walked away, Mu Qian immediately suppressed her smile and sat in the car with a cold face.
When Huo Jinxi also got in the car, she said, "Tell me, what is your relationship with that Lu Tang?"
"It doesn't matter." Huo Jinxi replied.
Mu Qian chuckled, "She has developed to the point where she can invite you to her house, and she said it's okay. Are you lying?"
"Ghosts have nothing to do with me." Huo Jinxi replied without raising his head, "I don't need to lie to him."
Mu Qian gritted her teeth, paused for a moment, and then took the initiative to lean into his arms and raised her eyes to look at him, "Then I have a relationship with you? I ask you, can't you answer me properly? How did you meet her?
?Also, there are many celebrities in the Lu family, who are they? Why haven’t I heard of them?"
Huo Jinxi glanced at her and already guessed that her jealousy was fake and her curiosity about the Lu family was genuine. After all, she was a reporter by profession and it was her nature to gossip.
"The Lu family started their business through illegal means in the early years. Although they have gradually been cleansed over the years, they are still hiding evil behind the scenes. Several members of the family became famous because of scandals." Huo Jinxi replied, "Are you satisfied?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian blinked and continued to ask: "Then how did you get involved with their family?"
