Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2889: Chapter 2825: A Bit of a Show-Off

The age is suitable, and they’re classmates, both studying painting, so they’ll have common interests in the future. Perfect.

For this reason, Mrs. Jin doesn’t know how many times she’s complained to Director Jin, grumbling that Meng Xinian is quite unfair, snatching the opportunity while Xiao Chiang was still so young, leaving no chance for her son.

Director Jin finds such talk both amusing and annoying.

Though he feels somewhat regretful, he cannot reach the level of blaming Great Officer Meng.

Anyway, people around him all support Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao indeed promised Capital City Art Magazine that she would paint a small piece live at the exhibition, which would be donated directly to the magazine.

Now, the painting table and all necessary tools are ready, and Jiang Xiao, in a white dress, stands behind the painting table, wearing a light smile while silently grumbling to herself countless times.

It really feels like showing off, why did she agree to Wang Yi and bought such a white dress that day?

Now painting in front of so many people in a white dress, it really makes her feel a bit pretentious.

—Only Jiang Xiao herself might say this about herself.

However, ignoring everything else, Jiang Xiao had already planned what to paint this time: a continuation of a scene from one of her exhibition paintings.

So, this isn’t a challenge for her.

She grabbed the paintbrush and quickly finished the painting.

She stood up and asked Wang Yi to help display the painting. Then she walked to one of the paintings and aligned the freshly painted picture next to the one hanging on the wall.

Everyone immediately understood.

The original painting depicted an ancient stone bridge, with a babbling stream underneath.

The new painting showed a sea of flowers, a small path beside it, with a little girl in a floral shirt carrying a small basket, walking forward.

When aligned, the path seamlessly connected to the bridge.

It looked like the little girl was about to cross the bridge.

”So, they’re actually related paintings, truly clever.”

”This little girl in the painting, why does it seem like she’s going to pick mushrooms? I wonder how many she’ll find.”

People nearby started to laugh.

The previously round-faced girl nudged Yushan with her elbow, saying, ”Yushan, do you believe now that these paintings are by Xiao Chiang? Do you believe this is her true skill?”

The two paintings clearly showed the same skill, painted by the same person.

Feng Yushan scoffed, though she didn’t say anything, but she clearly seemed displeased.

”I’ve remembered I have something to do, heading out first. You guys continue to enjoy viewing.”

She said and left.

”What’s wrong with Yushan?”

”Who knows? She’s been acting strangely lately.”

”Should we go talk to Xiao Chiang? Will she bother with us?”

”Come on, let’s go over and check.”

Just when Feng Yushan was about to leave the gallery, she saw the approaching man, her eyes lit up at once, then showed annoyance, and she swiftly ran towards him, blocking his way.

”Brother Wen! You really came, didn’t we agree that you’d stay home while I checked the situation for you? Why did you come?”

The person arriving was Dai Zhongwen.

Dai Zhongwen’s eyes were bloodshot, making Feng Yushan feel deeply concerned.

”You definitely stayed up late, didn’t I ask you to rest well at home? Why did you come here?”
