In the face of Han Tian’s praise, Gu Xiao did not feel proud. Instead, she said, “No, it is just that I enjoy it, so I practice a little hard.”
As for Ji Yao, she was already speechless. Her face alternated between red and white.
Han Tian looked at Gu Xiao. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He thought that it would be great if she was his disciple. But when he looked at her handwriting, it was comparable to his. No, it was even better than his writing. He could only sigh secretly.
Ji Yao’s father stood beside her and watched the scene in front of him.
This was the first time he had seen the girl who, according to Ji Yao, always kept going against her. Her every move made him feel that she had the temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind: Gu Xiao was more like a young lady than Ji Yao.
As soon as this thought popped up, he shook his head, but he was really interested in this girl called Gu Xiao.
Hence, he walked forward and handed Gu Xiao a business card.
When Ji Yao saw that her father actually took the initiative to get to know Gu Xiao, she felt uneasy.
She stood rooted to the ground, not daring to step forward to stop him.
For the first time in her life, Gu Xiao met her biological father. Looking at the business card he handed over, she instantly had mixed feelings.
She remembered that because of him, she was ruthlessly stepped on by Ji Yao in her previous life, who had used cruel reality to block the gaps in her future bit by bit.
She remembered that at that time, he already knew that Ji Yao was not his biological daughter. She was, but he still chose Ji Yao for benefits and abandoned her.
Gu Xiao’s eyes were filled with hatred. She pretended to be flattered and pushed his hand away.
“I’m just a student. Uncle, you don’t have to do this.”
Gu Xiao’s heart ached at the word uncle’.
It was not because of the so-called kinship, but because of her tragic experiences.
Mr Ji looked at the hand that was pushed back in shock. He nodded and walked away.
After this small interlude, the exhibition officially began.
Gu Xiao’s work was placed in the very centre. Many people surrounded it and looked at it, sighing with emotion.
Han Tian also started to discuss with Gu Xiao. In his eyes, at this age and with this kind of talent, to still be able to remain calm and humble, she would definitely have great achievements in the future.
Gu Xiao gradually changed the topic to business. “Master Han, I still have two other paintings. I want to consider selling them.”
When Han Tian heard this, he became excited and asked Gu Xiao to show him the two paintings. Gu Xiao did not hesitate and showed Han Tian the pictures she had taken of her works.
If one didn’t look at it, they wouldn’t know that these two paintings were actually much better than the one they were admiring in the museum now. If they were compared, the award-winning work could only be considered children’s graffiti!
This time, Han Tian was completely ashamed of his inferiority.
He replied, “Of course. Coincidentally, there’s an auction recently. Give me these two works and I’ll help you send them to the auction house to see if they can fetch a good price.”
This was exactly what Gu Xiao wanted. She readily agreed.
When they went out today, Gu Xiao specially instructed Chu An to bring the two paintings. After receiving Han Tian’s affirmative answer, Gu Xiao got the two paintings from Chu An and passed them on to Han Tian.
Han Tian held the two perfect works and could not bear to part with them. Looking at him, Gu Xiao was even afraid that he would take them all for himself.
After returning home, Gu Xiao realized that her name had become a trending topic. The title “Gu Xiao’s Calligraphy” had already rushed to the top of Weibo. Many famous calligraphers came to express their opinions, saying that Gu Xiao was a peerless genius.
However, only Gu Xiao knew that this was the result of a lot of effort.
As Chu An scrolled through the comments, he said resentfully, “Oh no. My girlfriend has become a superstar. She won’t like me anymore.”
Gu Xiao imitated his tone and said, “Oh no. My boyfriend is a young master from a wealthy family. He doesn’t like a village girl like me anymore.”
The two of them bantered and laughed.
Gu Xiao was sitting on the sofa and looking at her phone when Chu An lay down on Gu Xiao’s lap.
“What are you doing!” Gu Xiao shouted, but her body did not move. Her face turned red.
“This angle looks good too.” Chu An reached out to fiddle with the fringe lying on her forehead and smiled handsomely.
Gu Xiao was a little helpless. She whispered nervously, “I’m not your girlfriend yet…”
“You will be soon. I will give you the best confession..”
