Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Yining saw through Chen Kexin’s trick, but she didn’t say anything.

She continued to eat her food quietly.

Dinner ended, and everyone got up and returned to the living room.

The housekeeper brought over a wooden box and said, “Sir, the famous painting you auctioned overseas last time has arrived today. Where do you want to place it?”

“Open it and take a look.”

The old man was old and liked to collect antiques.

He had bought a lot of famous paintings from overseas.

…..

The auction this time was Raphael’s work, which cost nearly 30 million US dollars.

The housekeeper carefully opened the box and unfolded the painting.

A portrait of a young woman with golden hair and a myriad of emotions appeared in front of everyone.

Old Master Lu nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Kexin stared at the painting for a while and said in fluent French, “This is the work of the famous painter Raphael. He has always been known for his bold style.”

“That’s right. It’s indeed Raphael’s work,” Old Master Lu praised.

Chen Kexin continued to talk about how beautiful the painting was and how ingenious the technique was.

The rest of the Lu family more or less understood.

Jiang Yining was the only one who didn’t seem to understand what she was saying.

Chen Kexin spoke for a while, and her eyes fell on Jiang Yining. There was a smirk on her lips. How could this girl from the countryside know French? She probably didn’t know about foreign artists!

“Miss Jiang, you’re so focused on the painting. Did you see something profound? Why don’t you share it with us?”

After saying that, she slowed down and revealed a guilty expression.

“Sorry, I forgot. You don’t understand French.”

Lu Zhi furrowed his brows. Kexin was clearly targeting Jiang Yining.

“Staring at a painting doesn’t mean anything. Kexin, don’t be unreasonable.” Lu Zhi scolded in a deep voice.

Chen Kexin lowered her head pitifully. “Brother Ah Zhi, I don’t have any other intentions. I just want to get closer to Yining. My mother did something wrong, and I want to make it up to her. Can’t I do that?”

“Ah Zhi, how could you do this to Kexin? She didn’t do anything wrong.”

Old Madam Lu immediately defended her.

Chen Kexin cooperated and sniffed.

Old Master Lu said, “Alright, stop arguing. Put the painting away and hang it in my study.”

The housekeeper was about to go forward and put the painting away.

Jiang Yining spoke in fluent French, “Raphael was born into a family with many women. He suffered a lot when he was young, and it was his mother and sister who tried their best to protect him. Then, he was able to grow up safely.”

“After that, Raphael studied under a master and became a famous author. But as a man, he was also very concerned about the problems faced by women.”

“The beautiful woman in this painting has her skin riddled with holes and is heavily injured. The artist’s intention was not to show the public that his painting skills were superb, but to make us pay more attention to women’s health through this strong and intuitive visual impact.”

Jiang Yining looked at Chen Kexin and said, “Your analysis is correct. However, to appreciate a painting, you need to pay attention to the deeper meaning hidden by the artist, not the surface.”

After she finished speaking, the entire living room was silent.

No one expected that a poor girl whose parents had died could speak French fluently.

Furthermore, she had a deep understanding of a French painter.

It was so shocking that everyone’s jaws dropped!

Chen Kexin didn’t expect it either. She was so angry that her entire body trembled. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn’t say it for a moment.

However, her eyes were filled with intense resentment and jealousy as she stared at the person in front of her.

She wished she could tear her into pieces!

Why did Jiang Yining know more than her?

What right did she have?

Old Master Lu was silent for a while before he took the lead and clapped. “Yining, what you said was really good.”

“I just happened to learn some knowledge about Raphael. Grandpa, you flatter me.”

Jiang Yining lowered her head shyly, revealing a little girl’s attitude.

Old Master Lu laughed out loud.

However, Kexin had been learning from a painting master since she was young, but she was not as good as Jiang Yining, who only knew the surface. This comparison… was impossible not to admire Yining!

Ah Zhi really picked a good wife!

“A good painting needs a bosom friend to appreciate it. Yining, since you came to our house today, why don’t I give you Raphael’s painting since I don’t have any good gifts?”

Old Master Lu said again.

When the Lu family heard this, they were shocked again.

This painting was worth 30 million US dollars!

Converted to RMB, it was more than 200 million!

The old man was going to give it away to Jiang Yining so easily.

Jiang Yining also knew that this painting was very valuable, so she said, “Grandpa, I don’t know how to cherish it. It’s better for you to keep it.”

“With Ah Zhi around, what are you worried about?” Old Master Lu insisted on sending her off.

Lu Zhi spoke up and agreed on behalf of Jiang Yining. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Jiang Yining was speechless.

She was even forced to receive a gift?

She really did not know where to put this painting.

What a headache..
