I saw a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a golden and black Tang costume, appearing in front of people, with an amiable smile on his face.

Cheng Wenxin immediately greeted him.

"What did Mr. Meng say, you are the protagonist today, you should have been greeted by me, why did you look for me?"

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Chen, come here." Qi Ran immediately signaled to them.

Qi Ran's well-behaved face was in contrast to Gu Jingchen's expressionless face.

"Hello Teacher Meng."

Gu Jingchen's simple greeting not only gave Meng Qian enough face, but his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and he could not hear any sense of awe, and it also showed the unruliness in his bones.

Cheng Wenxin hugged Qi Ran's shoulder, "Xiao Ran, come over and see Mr. Meng." Mr. Meng, this is the little girl Qi Ran. ”

"Hello Mr. Meng."

Meng Qian looked at Qi Ran, and then looked at Gu Jingchen, he naturally knew that Qi Ran was not the daughter of the Gu family.

"It's really cute, it's much better than Xiao Chen's temper."

Gu Jingchen didn't get angry, but smiled.

Meng Qian is a master of contemporary Chinese painting, and his attainments in art are very high.

"Mr. Meng also knows, our family's Xiaochen is a bad temper."

That being said, but when it comes to his own son. Cheng Wenxin's face was full of pride, even if he was talking about shortcomings, it seemed to be praise.

Meng Qian looked at Gu Jingchen, he also liked it, and his eyes were full of appreciation, "This kid is a rare genius, it will be terrible if he grows for another two years!" Those of us of the older generation can only look up to him. ”

Qi Ran looked at Gu Jingchen again, and he didn't have any expression because of Meng Qian's praise, maybe he had already heard this as a matter of course.

But Cheng Wenxin is still very happy, after all, he is his own son, and he can't get tired of hearing others praise him no matter how many times.

Qi Ran only knew that her nominal brother was very powerful, and she really didn't dare to imagine how powerful it was.

"It's rare to see Gu Shen here today, and it's rare to see Cheng Dong, if you don't dislike it, just pick one of my many works that is pleasing to the eye, and it can be regarded as a gift from me."

Cheng Wenxin naturally didn't expect Meng Qian, as a predecessor in the art world, to be so humble, and even willing to give them his beloved works.

"What's so embarrassing, it's all your brain······"

"Isn't it true that Cheng Dong really doesn't like my paintings?"

Meng Qian said this part, naturally it was not good to excuse himself, Cheng Wenxin looked at Gu Jingchen who was absent-minded, and thought that he must not be allowed to choose, that would soothe Meng Qian's face.

"Xiao Ran, didn't you just say that you like Mr. Meng's paintings very much? Then you go and pick one you like. ”

Qi Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Wenxin in shock, and wanted to confirm that Cheng Wenxin was telling the truth, but he only understood the meaning in Cheng Wenxin's eyes that could not be refused.

"Your eldest lady also likes Chinese painting? Nowadays, there are fewer young people who like Chinese painting. ”

Qi Ran listened to their conversation and began to look at the painting seriously.

She likes to draw, and she's glad to see such an excellent exhibition, but that doesn't mean she understands.

Qi Ran has one head and two big.

Gu Jingchen walked up to her quietly, "Most of Meng Qian's paintings are given to destined people and not sold, you can choose one of his previous works." ”

Qi Ran clasped his fingers and asked puzzled when he heard this. "The longer it is preserved, the more Mr. Meng likes it, why should he be loved?"

"The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, how do you know that you're going to pick out his own proudest paintings."

Gu Jingchen's provocative eyes made Qi Ran look very unhappy, but he couldn't be angry with him.

Cheng Wenxin watched the two children standing together from a distance, it was rare to communicate with each other, and he smiled with satisfaction, but he didn't know that he really thought of his son too kindly.

Qi Ran chose for a while, and finally chose a scene painting with a pure style and monotonous colors.

Gu Jingchen's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

Cheng Wenxin is a businessman and Gu Jingchen's mother, and he can judge the price of the paintings selected by Qi Ran at a glance.

Meng Qian also didn't expect that Qi Ran would actually pick a painting that he had been reluctant to sell for many years.

"Teacher Meng is talking about it, right? My sister was clumsy, so she chose a random one that was pleasing to the eye. ”

Although Gu Jingchen smiled, it made people feel that he was gloating, and this sentence was a little mocking.

Meng Qian's embarrassment lasted only a few seconds before returning to normal.

Although I am reluctant, I am still very willing to cut my love.

It's just that he didn't expect that because of this painting, he and Qi Ran would have more connections from now on.

"It seems that Cheng Dong really raised a pair of good children, Gu Shen was already famous at his age, I don't know when I will be able to see your eldest lady's paintings."

Cheng Wen touched Qi Ran's hair with satisfaction, "My Xiao Ran's qualifications are not as good as Xiao Shen, and I will have to be taught by Mr. Meng in the future." ”

Qi Ran didn't care too much about her choice, and she couldn't understand the meaning between adults when she was young.

On the way home, Qi Ran listened curiously as Cheng Wenxin talked to Gu Jingchen about the paintings he chose.

"Xiao Ran, tomorrow, my mother will take you to Teacher Meng Qian's house."

"Why go?"

"Huh-" Gu Jingchen smiled disdainfully, looking at Qi Ran with disgust and disdain, "Is Old Man Meng old and dizzy?" Are you really going to take her? ”

Qi Ran frowned, very unhappy with Gu Jingchen's evaluation. But Cheng Wenxin was present, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't show it.

"Our Xiao Ran can't be his student anymore, don't wait for our Xiao Ran to grow up and surpass you in the future."

Gu Jingchen rolled his eyes and tilted his head out the window.

Qi Ran clenched her fists tightly, she would never let Gu Jingchen look down on her all the time, she could also become a very good person, she would definitely be. At a young age, Qi Ran already had a competitive heart, so she put all her hopes on Meng Qian, although today was only the first time they met, but she believed that he would be a good teacher.

In fact, Cheng Wenxin mentioned more than once before that he asked Qi Ran to learn to paint with Gu Jingchen, but Gu Jingchen basically paints in the studio, and no one is allowed to disturb him when he is creating, even if it is Cheng Wenxin, it is even more impossible for Qi Ran to come into contact with his paintings.

Gu Jingchen locked himself in the room when he got home, and Cheng Wenxin hung Meng Qian's painting in Qi Ran's room. Qi Ran now knows the value of this painting, so he feels a little uneasy when he looks at the sky-high works hanging on the wall.

What she didn't know was that these paintings, no matter how expensive they were, in Cheng Wenxin's eyes, they couldn't match Gu Jingchen's works.
