Chapter 557 - 558: As long as Madam doesn’t doubt my ability
Because Lou Xi promised to hold an art exhibition together with Shen Ruozhuo for Qin Mobai’s mother, Qiao Bi’er, Lou Xi has to take care of the exhibition apart from attending classes at school.
Originally, Shen Youran offered to help, but Lou Xi declined her mother’s kind gesture, considering that she had just had surgery and shouldn’t overexert herself.
Lou Xi also didn’t call the best planner in Europe to ask him to come over and help.
She thought, since it’s her mother-in-law’s art exhibition, she must do it herself, knowing how deeply Qin Mobai feels about his mother.
So she didn’t want to hand it over to others.
Fortunately, she had experience organizing small exhibitions during her time with the student council in school; anyway, the procedure is quite similar.
This exhibition eliminates the need to find sponsors, which makes it even simpler.
However, before formally dealing with the exhibition matters, Lou Xi spent a week learning about Qiao Bi’er’s life.
She was unaware until she learned that her mother-in-law was such a remarkable figure!
A socialite and a talented woman, with a distinguished status!
But after marriage, she chose to suppress her talent, wanting to be a good wife devoted to her husband and children.
Unexpectedly, increasingly frequent quarrels with her husband later led to a tragedy.
...
After finishing school, Qin Mobai called Lou Xi.
"I will go to the gallery today to discuss the matters on the day of the exhibition," Lou Xi reported to Qin Mobai.
This man just wants to know every moment that Lou Xi is safe to be at ease.
"If there’s any problem, call me immediately."
"Don’t worry, Ruozhuo won’t eat me alive! Besides, I have backup!" Lou Xi glanced at Bai Lu beside her; a good friend at times like these is meant to bolster her presence!
"Mm, I’ve already sent Su Lin over." Qin Mobai still couldn’t rest assured about Lou Xi, so he dispatched Su Lin.
"Seems Mr. Qin highly doubts my ability!"
"As long as my wife doesn’t doubt my ability, it’s fine." Qin Mobai smiled faintly.
Lou Xi blushed, knowing that the "ability" Qin Mobai meant was certainly not the "ability" to handle matters.
Rushing to hang up the phone, Lou Xi’s heart was still pounding!
"Oh my, what did he say to make you blush like this!" Bai Lu pointed at Lou Xi’s face, speaking ambiguously.
"What are you talking about, nothing happened!" Lou Xi dodged.
"Friends should share things with each other, I can also tell you about Lu Li!"
"Your husband being sold out by you like this, does he know?"
"They compare themselves secretly anyway."
"Compare their wives?" Lou Xi was surprised!
"They don’t compare their wives, just each other’s abilities."
"..." Lou Xi was indeed speechless, "You seem to understand a lot, like a teacher guiding me!"
"Come, let’s go racing with sis!"
Thus, the experienced driver took the new driver to Shen Ruozhuo’s gallery together.
Su Lin just sent a WeChat message to Lou Xi, saying the car was stuck in traffic and would take an hour before reaching the gallery, begging the lady boss for forgiveness.
Lou Xi told him to take it easy, no need to rush, she wouldn’t tell Qin Mobai about him being late.
Arriving at the gallery, a standalone villa hidden within the mundane world.
Lou Xi and Bai Lu walked inside together.
"I always feel that Shen Ruozhuo might be setting a trap for you this time, so you better be careful," Bai Lu reminded Lou Xi.
"Whether or not it’s a trap, I won’t let her ruin mother-in-law’s exhibition."
"China’s good daughter-in-law!"
While talking, the two had already entered the gallery.
Then they saw an unexpected visitor.
