Chapter 878: Chapter 879 I’m Tricking You

Adding to that, he had personally seen Cheng Qiulian just now and, at least until now, hadn’t heard her cough.

Liu Guohua glanced at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao knew his temperament and his character, and she knew he was feeling somewhat guilty and ashamed, thinking that taking her as a student was taking advantage of her. She giggled and said, "Teacher, if you want to thank me, why not paint me an Autumn Scenery Painting?"

An Autumn Scenery Painting?

Not only was Liu Guohua taken aback, but Meng Xinian also looked at Liu Guohua with great surprise.

During the competition organized by the G Province Painters Association, one of the prizes was a copy of the Autumn Scenery Painting, which held significant meaning in the art world. Many people participated in the competition specifically for it, but due to the school not taking proper care of it, that painting was destroyed.

Back then, when Kuang Yunxian and the others were discussing it in the hotel, Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao were there too, and he listened in. So even Meng Xi, an outsider, knew the value of the Autumn Scenery Painting.

Now, suddenly hearing Chiang Xiao ask Liu Guohua to paint an Autumn Scenery Painting, it was naturally quite shocking. With his understanding of Chiang Xiao, if she mentioned it, she was undoubtedly referring to that particular painting, not any other.

Could Chiang Xiao possibly know who painted that painting?

Could it be, that the person who copied that Autumn Scenery Painting was Liu Guohua?

If this were the case, releasing this information would definitely skyrocket his value.

Meng Xinian, looking at the five paintings by his side, suddenly began to understand the reason why Chiang Xiao had wanted to take money from him and sell him the paintings.

This girl not only wanted to help Liu Guohua but also wanted him to make a good profit.

This girl...

Meng Xinian had roughly grasped Chiang Xiao’s intention, but Liu Guohua was still clueless.

"How do you know I can paint an Autumn Scenery Painting?"

He was truly doubtful. But the idea that Chiang Xiao had any ulterior motives towards him was impossible.

What did he have that she could covet?

In terms of painting, although she still had some shortcomings, as long as she didn’t waste her talent, with a few more years of practice, she would definitely not be inferior to him. As for circumstances, the snacks sold by Chiang Xiao’s family, and the tea she now sold, were enough for her to live a very wealthy life, much stronger than his.

So, he was simply puzzled as to why Chiang Xiao knew he could paint an Autumn Scenery Painting.

Chiang Xiao blinked and said, "So, teacher, you really can paint one? I was bluffing you. Didn’t you know? In the competition I participated in, they said the first prize was an Autumn Scenery Painting by ’Anonymous’, and I was so happy then, thinking I could actually get it. But that painting was destroyed due to some people’s negligence."

Liu Guohua was unaware of the details of the incident.

After he donated that Autumn Scenery Painting, he lost interest in its fate. Since that painting was his most satisfying work, he felt keeping it would make it difficult for him to make further progress, always comparing his new works to it, which was not beneficial for him. That’s why he anonymously donated it.

Now, hearing that the painting had been destroyed, he didn’t quite know how to feel.

"Seeing one of your paintings in springtime, I felt that with your skill, you should be able to paint an Autumn Scenery Painting. So, I’ve been thinking of finding an opportunity to bluff you, never expecting that I’d actually manage to do it. Teacher, you can paint an Autumn Scenery Painting, can’t you?"

Chiang Xiao wore a sly expression.
