"Master, Deanna-Miss Gugino is waiting for you in the living room!" That morning, Rob reported to Tang Ning.
"Deanna - Miss Gugino? I don't know her!" Tangning asked with a frown.
Rob explained: "Miss Gugino's father was the café owner who was killed over a fake painting."
Hearing what Rob said, Tangning suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered it. Later, because someone wrote a novel about her father's experience, she stabbed the novelist with a knife, right?"
Rob nodded and replied: "Yes, that's her!"
"She was released from prison so soon?" Tangning asked in surprise.
"Maybe the jury thought her situation was pitiful, so the sentence was lighter!" Rob guessed.
Tangning nodded and agreed, "Well, that's possible! In fact, I sympathize with her! Okay, then I'll go see her."
Originally, Tang Ning thought that a girl who could stab an enemy with a knife would be more neutral, but she didn't expect Deanna to be a petite, frail, harmless-looking blond beauty.
As soon as they met, Deanna apologized to Tangning and said, "Mr. Tangning, first of all, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my father. If he had been willing to listen to you, then he would not have suffered like that!"
Tangning quickly waved her hands and said, "Miss Gugino, please don't say that. First of all, my judgment may not be accurate. That painting may be really valuable. Secondly, even if your father, Mr. Gugino, thinks that painting is valuable, this
There is no mistake, it’s the greedy murderers who are at fault!”
"Thank you, Mr. Tangning!" Deanna thanked her, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Tangning, actually I have one more thing to ask you today!"
"Oh, tell me!" Tang Ning replied casually.
"I want to become your teacher!" Deanna said solemnly.
"What did you say? You want to become my teacher?" Tangning couldn't believe her ears for a moment.
Deanna nodded and replied: "Yes, I just want to become your teacher!"
"But what do you want to learn from me as your teacher?" Tang Ning asked in confusion.
"Learn oil painting appraisal so that I won't make the same mistakes as my father again!" Deanna explained.
Although she agreed with Deanna's reason, Tangning still refused: "Ms. Gugino, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but I don't know how to appraise oil paintings!"
"Mr. Downing, you are so humble. Through Mr. Faison and my father, you are now the most famous oil painting appraiser in New Orleans! Recently I have seen many people come to you to help appraise oil paintings!"
Deanna insisted.
Hearing Deanna's last words, Tangning was really in trouble. Indeed, because of these two things, she inexplicably became the so-called master of oil painting appraisal in New Orleans. Recently, there are often people who are familiar or not very familiar with her.
Bringing an oil painting to ask yourself to appraise it will annoy yourself.
At this time, Deanna said again: "And I have inquired about it. Apart from you, there is no one in New Orleans who can be called a master of oil painting appraisal!"
"Then you can go to other cities to find teachers. For example, there is Master Cassese in New York. I can write you a letter of recommendation!" Tangning declined.
Deanna shook her head and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Downing, but I can't leave New Orleans because the cafe still needs me to take care of it. This cafe is my father's hard work, and I can't watch him close down."
! So it is most appropriate to learn oil painting appraisal from you. Please accept me as your student. Although I don’t have much money, please give me some time and I will definitely raise the tuition fee for you!”
Tangning quickly explained: "Ms. Gugino, you misunderstood. I don't want to charge tuition. You also know that I am not short of money."
But no matter how much Tangning refused, Deanna was extremely persistent. In the end, even Heidi couldn't stand it anymore and came over to persuade her: "Tony, please teach Miss Gugino, she is doing this for her father!"
Tangning reluctantly agreed: "Hey, that's okay!" Then she made an appointment to come over every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning to learn painting, because she had to visit the store at other times.
Because he had to teach students, Tang Ning started to pick up his paintbrush again. In the process, he made an unexpected discovery, that is, his son Locke seemed to like painting very much.
"Tony, I feel like you're not very happy that Locke likes to draw?" Heidi asked curiously.
Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, to be honest, I really don't really hope that Locke likes to draw."
Tangning explained: "It's not that he's not good at painting, but Locke's identity is not suitable for him to be a painter. Artists generally cannot maintain their family fortune. If Michael likes to paint, then I will definitely support him!"
"Is that why you didn't become a painter?" Heidi guessed.
"That's right!" But then Tangning changed the topic and said, "Of course, it may be too early for us to consider these things now. After all, Locke is still young. Maybe he just likes drawing now and won't like it when he grows up.
So there is no need to restrain him now, just let his temper be.
And actually, painting is a good hobby as it can hone one’s state of mind and exercise one’s observation ability!”
Heidi immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Tangning said: "Tony, you really scared me to death just now. I even started to imagine that little Locke will become a painter like Uncle Jules who lost all his family fortune!"
Tangning laughed dumbly and said, "It's too early for you to think this way!"
"Humph, how do you understand a mother's heart!" Heidi said coquettishly.
While the two were chatting, Joanna suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, saying to Tangning: "Mr. Tangning, I want to take a long vacation to travel. After all, I have been in the United States for so long and I have never been anywhere except New Orleans."
Woolen cloth!"
Tang Ning also knew that the reason why Joanna said this was that she had nothing to do now. Little Locke was not interested in piano, and Michael, who was interested, went to Brazil. The other reason was that she was a piano teacher here because
When she first came to the United States, she was unfamiliar with the place and was worried about whether Scotland Yard would chase her to the United States. Now these worries were gone, plus she still had a bribe that Kelly gave her before she left, so
Naturally, I don't want to stay at home all day long.
PS: I have a hunch that Qidian will publish a lot of follow-up novels related to "Walking Alone on the Moon" in the future. I will post this as proof!
