nWu Chuang felt uneasy. He had long taken a liking to Qin Sheng’s painting and was waiting to buy it from her after the competition.

nHe did not expect that so many people would come to snatch it from him?

nHowever, all of them had a higher status than him. Even if they were similar, he did not dare to offend them. He could only agree to it first and tell Qin Sheng about it later.

nHowever…

nWu Chong’s smile was a little… sinister.

nWhatever he told Qin Sheng, it would be up to him to decide.

nAs long as Qin Sheng was willing to sell it, then Wu Chong had a plan in mind for the painting.

nHowever, Wu Chong did not expect that there would be someone who would compete with him, and he was destined not to win.

nAfraid that something unexpected would happen, that night, Wu Chong timed Qin Sheng’s end of school and came to Fu Garden. This was the address that he had obtained after grinding Qin Sheng for a long time.

nOld Master Lu was already waiting in the villa.

n“Old Master Lu, why are you here?” Wu Chong entered the villa and was surprised to see Old Master Lu.

nOld Master Lu was the same. He frowned. “Wu Chong, why are you here?”

nWu Chong’s tone was very respectful. “Old Master Lu, I have something to talk to Qin Sheng about.”

nOld Master Lu was very doubtful. “What could it be?”

nWu Chong revealed his motive. “Didn’t I take a fancy to Qin Sheng’s painting? I want to buy it. With this price, it’s easy to negotiate.”

n“What, buy the painting?” Old Master Lu jumped up from the sofa, his voice very vigilant.

nWu Chong could not understand Old Master Lu’s reaction. He asked in puzzlement, “Is there a problem?”

n“Sheng Sheng doesn’t sell paintings. Wu Chong, you’d better leave.”

nOld Master Lu spoke calmly. If it were not for the fact that Wu Chong was the chairman of H City’s Painting Association, Qin Sheng would not have become a member of the Association.

nWhen Qi Wenshi was making things difficult for Qin Sheng, Wu Chong had also helped Qin Sheng.

nHe had really kicked Wu Chong out.

nOld Master Lu had quite a temper.

nWu Chong was very suspicious of Old Master Lu’s words, so he asked, “Old Master Lu, is Qin Sheng really not selling paintings?”

nOld Master Lu turned his face away. “No!”

nWu Chong was still unwilling to give up. He really liked that painting. When he first saw it, he had already made up his mind to keep it.

nIt was the first time Wu Chong had seen someone express their grief, pain, and regret so vividly.

n“Old Master Lu, I think I’ll wait for Qin Sheng to come back and ask her myself.”

nOld Master Lu’s face darkened. “Scram, scram. Sheng Sheng gave the painting to this old man, it’s none of your business.”

nOld Master Lu’s words exposed his motive.

nWu Chong heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also worried that if Old Master Lu also wanted the painting, he might not be able to compete with him.

nSeeing that Wu Chong did not move, Old Master Lu became even angrier. “Why are you still standing here?”

nWu Chong braced himself and didn’t leave.

nWu Chong had made up his mind. If Qin Sheng hadn’t said that she wouldn’t sell it to him, he wouldn’t leave.

nOld Master Lu harrumphed and decided not to look at Wu Chong anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.

nHalf an hour later, Qin Sheng and Fu Hanchuan finally returned.

nSeeing Old Master Lu, Qin Sheng was a little surprised. “Grandpa Lu, why are you here?”

nFu Hanchuan knew that Wu Chong had come to look for Qin Sheng, so he told Qin Sheng as well.

nHowever, Old Master Lu had the key to Fu Hanchuan’s house, so he came alone.

nOld Master Lu said with a smile, “Sheng Sheng, I’m here to celebrate your first place in the exam.”

nFu Hanchuan glanced at Old Master Lu indifferently, not exposing him.

nQin Sheng smiled and nodded at Wu Chong. “Chairman Wu.”
