Chapter 558 - 559: All broken-up couples can only prove they weren’t the right ones
Before Bai Lu arrived, she said that Shen Ruozhuo was definitely like a weasel paying New Year’s greetings to a chicken, and had no good intentions.
Now, seeing Li Ruolan dressed in the gallery’s uniform white shirt and black skirt coming to greet them, Bai Lu felt even more certain of this notion.
"Xixi, maybe we should wait until Assistant Su arrives before we say anything. We’re on someone else’s turf here, and if they team up against us, we’re no match!" Bai Lu saw the situation clearly and thought it would be wise to leave first.
Lou Xi shook her head, saying there was no need to leave, "No worries, we’re not here to talk to Li Ruolan anyway."
"Shen Ruozhuo is the real Tianshan Child!"
"We haven’t even seen her yet, and you’re already ready to retreat! We can’t lose our momentum!"
Come to think of it, that made sense.
The two walked in, heads held high.
The gallery was very quiet, with only one or two guests carefully admiring the paintings on the walls.
Lou Xi glanced at the paintings on the walls, only a small portion were by "ZeRu ShiYu," which was Shen Ruozhuo’s work, and they were not priced.
The other paintings were clearly priced, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, all works by emerging artists.
During the recent days of learning about Qiao Bi’er, Lou Xi had acquired quite a bit of knowledge in this area.
Although Shen Ruozhuo was a bit malicious, her accomplishments in painting and calligraphy were beyond what current emerging artists could reach.
However, no matter how talented she was, a bad character made it all worthless.
"Miss Shen instructed that if you two came, you should wait first," Li Ruolan said to Lou Xi and Bai Lu, with a look of "this is our territory, we’re the bosses" on her face.
"We agreed to meet at three o’clock in the afternoon, and it’s exactly three o’clock now," Lou Xi pointed at the clock on the wall to remind her.
Li Ruolan didn’t even look at the time on the wall, just gave a cold hum, "Miss Shen is not as idle as you are, so what’s wrong with waiting a bit!"
"Alright, it just gives us a chance to enjoy the paintings in the gallery!" Lou Xi didn’t want to stoop to Li Ruolan’s level, and pulled Bai Lu to look at the paintings in the gallery.
From a distance, Lou Xi could still see Li Ruolan’s resentful glare.
"I don’t know what right Li Ruolan has to look at you like that, she was the one who stole your boyfriend back then!" Bai Lu shook her head, only thinking that Li Ruolan was quite the oddity.
"It’s alright. She took him, or else I wouldn’t have met Mo Bai," Lou Xi said indifferently.
"Girl, your realizations go deep!"
"Every breakup only proves they weren’t the right one," Lou Xi said, "It’s the same with you and Lu Li, isn’t it? So, when are you and Lu Li going to tie the knot?"
"Getting married is a matter of minutes!"
As they were chatting, at some point, Li Ruolan came over with a tray, carrying two cups of tea, with steaming hot red tea.
"Miss Shen will take a while. Please have some tea," Li Ruolan said she was inviting Lou Xi and Bai Lu to tea, but there was an obvious lack of patience on her face.
"No need, thank you," Lou Xi refused. Who knew if she had done something to the tea.
"Hold it, otherwise Miss Shen might say I didn’t treat guests well."
"You’re already not being very hospitable," Bai Lu said blandly.
Just as tension was about to rise, Lou Xi raised her hand to take a cup. It’s just a cup of tea—
"Ah—" As soon as Lou Xi raised the teacup, she felt an elbow bump her, and the tea spilled all over a landscape painting.
A painting priced at four million!
