Lu yao yin noticed her smirk but was totally less concerned.
The picture in the next frame was named Intertwined. there was a girl laying on a cushion, she looked frail and weak yet her eyes held a great amount of ignorance, superiority and a haughty look.
She leaned feebly on her arm with her head plopped on her palm, her lips carried a cold smirk devoid of human emotions only a hint of criticism and contempt. one gaze at her sent shivers and tremors in people's minds as they looked at the weak figure shrouded in a proud and domineering aura but the most threatening part were her eyes.
One green and one ash, they told a story of two souls intertwined.
underneath the drawing was a poem calligraphed on the frame, it read 'A twisted thread of destiny to two souls intertwined, an end then a beginning, a new life is found'
For a long time people felt entranced by the painting, they wondered what had triggered ALYY to draw something with such a dense meaning.
As she looked at the painting Lu yao yin was suddenly lost in thought, she wondered why the girl in the picture looked like her presently. She racked her brain trying to remember what was in her mind when she drew this painting.
Yes you heard it right, she had drawn this painting and everyother painting that belonged to ALYY cause she was ALYY
Kun feng was ALYY!
Her adopted father wasn't always a Gang Lord, He had another alias that no one would ever suspect to be the notorious gang Lord Kun xiabei. He was the great calligrapher Lu Wenxin. So just like him Kun feng also had an alias, Her name was Lu yao yin and she was the famous painter ALYY
ALYY stood for Anonymous Lu yao yin but people always thought it stood for Alyssa, she never really understood why they did so. apart from being a famous artist she was also a famous designer with the name Vague.
She stared at the picture and had an awkward feeling, she didn't understand how she could have managed to draw the current Lu yao yin plus she had talked about two destiny of two souls being intertwined in a single body. how could her imagination be so precise
Could she perhaps see the future?!
"Do you like the picture that much? you been staring at it, I could get another of her paintings for you" Zi yichen voice sounded in her ear breaking her train of thought
He had noticed her staring deeply at the picture, he didn't like as it was taking up all of her attention.
"if you have that much money to waste then why don't you build a vegetable garden"
to her buying her own drawing was equivalent to wasting money, cause she had more than a dozen of them at home already and could even draw more if she likes.
"Lui shenhui I'm really happy with your gift, I love it very much" Zi chunming was very happy that he began praising her.
"I'm glad uncle likes it, it took a lot of effort to get them from an auction" Lui shenhui replied politely.
Her father Lui mingrui didn't forget to also add in a good word for her "Brother Zi, my daughter is really biased towards you, I had asked her for the painting but yet she outrightly refused. I'm so envious of you right now"
Lui shenhui went along with displaying a cute innocent smile, which made Old man Zi even more pleased.
the servants came into the building baring gift that had been delivered, some people couldn't bring their gift along with them so they sent their gift to the hall before them, someone like Lu yao yin, she had asked Si xunmi to package a present for the couple as she knew she would arrive late with Zi yichen.
coincidentally the gift she had asked Si xunmi to pack was also one of her paintings that she thought was the best. her present was going to bring shock to a lot of people here.
The Old man was reluctant to part with his gift from Lui shenhui so he passed it to his wife while he hastily unwrapped the other present one after the other. people had been really generous with their gifts, there were rare gems, rare stones and so on. Finally he got to Lu yao yins gift.
He didn't even checked who it was from and just tore the wrapping off hastily but then his hands suddenly paused in the air like he had been electrified.
With heavy breath and shivering hands he slowly and cautiously peeled off what was remainant of the wrapping paper.
"what the f*ck! that is Earth Summit!"
Who didn't know what Earth Summit was, this was an ALLY drawing that caused a huge sensation Ten years ago. It made a huge news that there was no one that didn't hear of it and because of this everyone fought and scrambled to acquire this art piece but no matter how they tried no one could cause ALLY herself had said she wasn't going to sell the picture to anybody no matter what they offered.
This wasn't the only picture, they were actually four in number and she had specifically signed boldly on each of them. Earth Summit, Soaring, Phoenix Fire, Low Depth: The five piece were an album called Evolution and Earth Summit was considered the lead.
there was no contemplation to whether it was the original cause the Dreamland little insignia was sitting right at the corner and it couldn't definitely be faked, plus her signature was as bold as ever as the tail of the frame.
Everybody wondered who was so capable to have been able to acquire the painting, the turned and looked at Lui shenhui and her father but the shock on their faces showed that they weren't the one.
Zi chunming picked up the torn wrapping and. scrambled to check the name card placed on it, after much shuffling he found it.
"Miss...miss Lu yao yin...is this yours?" he asked although he could clearly see the name written on the card.
Lu yao yin ignored all their shocked looks and gave a reply "yes Mr Zi I hope you like it"
neither her words or tone showed a hint of fawning, she didn't seem to think much of her gift neither was she intending to use it as a means to fawn the Zi couple.
The elderly man was taken back, "I Love it, thank you very much"
"miss Lu yao yin, you're really lucky to have gotten this picture" Lui mingrui said "Has ALLY perhaps put Evolution for auction?" the implication of his question was that Lu yao yin had only gotten the picture because it was auctioned out
"no she gave it to me herself"
Her answer was a thunderclap in their minds, they couldn't believe that ALLY had given a painting that she had vehemently said she wouldn't sell to Lu yao yin
just what was their relationship?!
"Miss Yan do you know ALLY?" Mr Zi couldn't help but ask
'how could I not know myself? isn't that absurd?'
she nodded "yes we're good friends"
They were all shocked but none of them asked anything further.
Lui shenhui clasped the end of her gown trying to hold back her anger, a little more effort and the material would rip under her grip. She thought her gift was going to make this night about her but Lu yao yin had come out of nowhere and destroy everything, not only did she acquire Earth Summit but she had also announced that she was friends with the Anonymous ALLY.
She felt really vexed seeing her limelight stolen from her, she had put a lot of hope on that gift hoping it could win her Zi chunming favour but right now his gazes was all on Lu yao yin and she was nowhere in his eyes.
She picked up her phone and excused herself from the hall.
Lui shenhui wasn't the only one infuriated now. Lui mingrui was also annoyed, Lui shenhui marriage to Zi yichen was the only hope he had in progressing beyond his current status in future and he wasn't ready to give it up to anyone.
The party continued and then eventually came to and end and then little by little everyone left to their various locations.
