Chapter 763: Chapter 762 A Pleasant Surprise_1 Chapter 763: Chapter 762 A Pleasant Surprise_1 “It was Dai Jinhai who made the arrangements.”
“Professor Dai?” A hint of confusion flickered in Huo Kewei’s eyes, sensing that he’d overlooked something.
Zuo Xinyao massaged his temples in frustration. His nerves were completely frayed.
A knock sounded at the door.
“Hello, Mr. Zuo, your guest is here.” An employee led someone in and was about to make introductions, but both parties stared at each other in shock.
Jiang Nanfei never expected the individuals behind the autumn art gallery to be Zuo Xinyao and Huo Kewei, she was incredulously wide-eyed.
“Aunty?” Huo Kewei was even more shocked than she was!
Still, Zuo Xinyao was the calm and composed one, formally reached out his hand for a handshake, and briefly said: “Nice to meet you, Jiang Nanfei. This is indeed a surprise.”
“Aunty, did you paint ‘Young Maiden’? Is it really your work? My goodness! I found it strange when you started studying under Professor Dai, but I could never have guessed this. It is unexpected, but it also makes complete sense when you think about it.”
Huo Kewei held onto Nanfei’s hand and didn’t let go, beaming as he said, “Does my uncle know about this?”
“Er… I believe he does.” She hadn’t formally told him, but when she apprenticed with Dai Jinhai, Huo Beijiang had seemed calm, likely having found out for himself.
“You two are really something, able to keep this kind of secret this whole time, that’s not right.”
“Well, you know now! And I had no idea that you were even running an art gallery.”
“What of it? I’ve also recently started a Luxury Off-Road Car Club in Nanshan. Aunty, would you like to join?”
Nanfei: “No, no… I better not! If your uncle finds out, he’s going to kill you.”
Why wasn’t she worried about herself, but rather him? But when he thought about how his uncle often favoritizes women over his nephew, it was indeed probable that he’d be the one killed.
Dai Jinhai had known the owners of the gallery well in advance. He didn’t tell Nanfei before coming mainly because he wanted to surprise her, a peculiar pleasure arising from his eccentricity.
“Elder Dai, Professor Dai, please have a seat.” Zuo Xinyao clearly was more reliable than Huo Kewei, although his words were concise and strong.
An employee served tea for everyone and upon leaving, she glanced at Nanfei curiously. She knew several heavyweight painters would be visiting today, including the tremendously popular and mysterious painter, Young Maiden.
It wouldn’t have been possible to get these two company bosses here otherwise. These two were rarely seen.
Getting to see them was a rare occurrence.
She had snuck a few glances. The other two were familiar faces, so it was impossible for them to be the mysterious painter, Young Maiden. Only this stunningly beautiful unfamiliar girl remained, but could it really be her?
Although Young Maiden was nicknamed “mysterious young girl painter” in the industry, it really can’t be a young girl, can it?
The employee left with a head full of questions. Her expressions were so obvious that everyone in the room saw them. Relaxing on the sofa, Huo Kewei teased, “Aunty, did you notice her look just now? Not only does she not believe it, I’m still quite shocked myself!”
“What’s there to be shocked about? Nanfei is my disciple. If she wasn’t capable, could she be my apprentice?” Dai Jinhai said, a look of pride on his face.
Huo Kewei exaggerated, “Old man, are these just ‘skills’? My aunty here definitely has more than just ‘a couple of skills.'”
Even Zuo Xinyao, with his gloomy expression, showed a trace of a barely noticeable smile.
