Regarding transactions in the art exhibition, Xie Xuan didn't have much interest. He browsed the surveillance footage once again, and at that moment, the intact painting 'Spring River' had yet to appear.
Seizing the opportunity while the Old Master was away from B City, Xie Shengnan was playing a dangerous and clever game with his favorite painting.
"I just don't believe she can…"
Xie Xuan was talking when he suddenly stopped.
The figure of Lu Haiqiao appeared in the surveillance footage.
Little Marshmallow?
What was she doing here?
Furthermore…
Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes dangerously as he watched Lu Haiqiao approach Lu Yunge and hold onto his arm.
"Xie Third," he raised his hand and gestured with his index finger, "This 'little brother', what's his name?"
Xie Third: …
Master, he is not your little brother.
Forget it, there didn't seem to be a need to explain that.
Xie Third answered, "Lu Yunge."
Hearing this, Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Also surnamed Lu?"
A few seconds later, he lowered his voice and muttered to himself. "Both have the surname Lu. Could they be siblings?"
With his sharp hearing, Xie Third immediately added, "As far as I know, Lu Yunge has a younger sister named Lu Yange."
Xie Xuan glanced at him with an expression of extreme displeasure, pursing his lips.
After a brief pause, he pushed away the keyboard and got up, saying, "Let's go. Go downstairs and get to know that little brother."
Xie Third: …
I've already said, he's not your little brother.
According to age, you should call him 'Big Brother.'
Still…
Looking at Xie Xuan's departing figure, Xie Third, who had seen through his nature, shook his head gently.
Getting to know the little brother is a ruse; the girl next to the little brother is your real target.
…
As they watched one artwork after another being sold in the exhibition hall without the appearance of 'Spring River', Lu Haiqiao began to lose patience.
She gazed at Xie Shengnan, who was chatting with numerous political and business elites not far away, and said impatiently, "Why hasn't that Xie person taken out my painting yet?"
Standing by her side, Lu Yunge glanced at her with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he suggested, "Qiao, if you can't wait, let's just go back."
She seemed to have guessed what he was going to say next and returned his gaze with a chilly look. "Xue already told me something similar. There's no need for you to repeat it."
Lu Yunge sighed softly and smiled helplessly. "So, there's no room for discussion?"
With a low and determined tone, Lu Haiqiao replied, "I've made up my mind, and no one can change it."
And when she sets her mind on something, she will stop at nothing to get it. No one can stand in her way.
Silently in his heart, Lu Yunge added his thoughts.
"Never mind," Lu Haiqiao had completely lost her patience at this point, and out of consideration for the occasion, she couldn't show it too much. "I'll wander around a bit. If the item appears, notify me immediately.
…
Double X Art Center was a highly condensed cultural complex, featuring not only galleries, theaters, and cinemas for artistic exchanges but also a unique cafe.
Located on the 25th-floor observation deck, the cafe was not only open-air but also had a glass floor, allowing people to enjoy the beautiful view of B City while experiencing the thrill of being suspended in the air.
Following the directions, Lu Haiqiao reached the elevator. Although it's on the 25th floor, in reality, she would have to take the elevator to the 26th floor and then descend the stairs to reach the suspended cafe.
She was the only one at the entrance of the elevator that could reach the 26th floor.
Lu Haiqiao carefully adjusted her skirt.
If it weren't for respecting the occasion today, she wouldn't have been willing to dress like this.
With a 'ding', the elevator arrived.
