Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Triumphant Sun Jiancheng

Shen Lingdie nodded her head and flashed Chen Fan a radiant smile, "I’ve been learning to keep smiling lately."

Chen Fan was taken aback and stealthily glanced at Su Qingyan beside him, immediately feeling murderous intent coming his way. He stiffened and replied hesitantly, "Oh? Well... that’s good."

Su Qingyan yanked Chen Fan toward her, "Stay away from my best friend, you’re a bad influence."

Shen Lingdie looked at Su Qingyan, "What kind of influence?"

Su Qingyan, looking guilty, replied, "It’ll affect your chances of finding a boyfriend."

Shen Lingdie asked seriously, "Can’t he be my boyfriend?"

Su Qingyan’s eyes widened, then she declared emphatically, "No, he cannot!"

Shen Lingdie asked, "Why not? Didn’t you say he’s not your boyfriend?"

Su Qingyan became agitated, "Just because he can’t!"

She turned around, casting a resentful glance at Chen Fan, then fiercely pinched his arm.

Lately, Shen Lingdie had been paying extra attention to Chen Fan.

Every time they went out, Shen Lingdie would always ask, "Is Chen Fan coming?"

This made Su Qingyan feel a troubling sense of crisis, leaving her mood irritable.

Shen Lingdie stared at Su Qingyan for a while before finally saying, "Wicked woman."

Su Qingyan snorted and ignored Shen Lingdie.

Chen Fan rubbed his arm, feeling overwhelmed.

He didn’t understand what Shen Lingdie meant, and was full of doubts.

If he’d known, he wouldn’t have come. What a mess!

...

Inside the City Art Gallery.

Sun Jiancheng had changed into a blue suit, put on glasses, and combed his hair, all exuding an artistic vibe.

He admired his own reflection in the mirror, utterly infatuated with his image.

That’s when Qin Lan, dressed in a sexy formal gown, walked over to him, "Dear, the art exhibition is about to start."

Sun Jiancheng wrapped his arms around Qin Lan, letting one hand wander on her body, "When the Sun Family went bankrupt, you cold-heartedly kicked me to the curb. Now you must realize you were wrong, don’t you?"

Qin Lan smiled guiltily, trying to please Sun Jiancheng in every way, "Ah, I was indeed wrong back then. I made a mistake in the heat of the moment. Now, see? I’ve come to my senses and came back to you on my own initiative."

Sun Jiancheng snorted, "You know what’s good for you. From now on, you’d better listen to me."

Qin Lan nodded with a smile, "Don’t worry. Now that you’re the renowned Master Qingyun, I’ll certainly obey you completely."

"But speaking of which, I didn’t know you could paint before."

Sun Jiancheng suddenly coughed twice and evasively said, "Back when I was running a company, I had no time to paint. It was only after the company collapsed and I was deeply struck by it that I had an epiphany and found my own path."

Qin Lan planted a kiss on Sun Jiancheng, "You’re so amazing."

Sun Jiancheng, afraid that Qin Lan might ask more questions, changed the subject, "I heard you and Xu Xin had a falling out?"

Qin Lan’s expression turned cold, "Don’t mention that bitch to me. She does nothing but slander me."

Sun Jiancheng was not interested in Qin Lan’s trivial matters and said, "It’s about time, let’s go out together."

Qin Lan nodded, meticulously adjusting her dress.

Appearing in front of everyone as Master Qingyun’s girlfriend was a very prestigious matter, so naturally she had to look her best.

Sun Jiancheng glimpsed at the gallery’s dazzling array of artworks, a smirk forming on his lips. He took a deep breath and walked out with Qin Lan.

At the entrance of the art gallery.

Someone shouted out loud, "Master Qingyun is coming out!"

Everyone hurried over.

Shen Lingdie jumped up, "Let’s go over!"

Chen Fan and Su Qingyan followed Shen Lingdie as they walked over.

Sun Jiancheng appeared before everyone, accompanied by Qin Lan.

Many girls got excited, yet when they saw Qin Lan beside Sun Jiancheng, they immediately displayed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my art exhibition."

"The exhibition is now officially open. Please enter in an orderly fashion, and I hope you all like my works."

Sun Jiancheng, with a spring in his step, gestured for everyone to proceed inside.

People immediately flooded into the City Art Gallery.

Shen Lingdie moved forward with the crowd but noticed Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were both rooted to the spot.

She turned around, looking perplexed, "Aren’t you coming in?"

Su Qingyan pointed at Sun Jiancheng, "He... is Master Qingyun?"

Shen Lingdie nodded.

Su Qingyan and Chen Fan exchanged glances, both appearing astonished.

"For him to paint as well, how peculiar," Chen Fan mumbled to himself.

At this moment, Qin Lan noticed Chen Fan, took a moment to register him, then pointed him out to Sun Jiancheng.

Sun Jiancheng looked their way, his face breaking into a mocking smile as he approached with Qin Lan.

"Well, I didn’t expect you, pretty boy, to attend an art exhibition. That’s quite a surprise," Sun Jiancheng sneered.

He turned to Su Qingyan, "Miss Su, please don’t mind my words. After all, painting is a sophisticated art, not something just anyone is qualified to engage in."

The faces of Chen Fan and Su Qingyan both darkened.

Qin Lan looked smugly at Chen Fan, "Darling, you are so right. Your paintings are top-notch art; how could such clowns understand? He probably doesn’t even know how to write the words ’high class’."

Chen Fan sneered, "I might not understand high class, but you, someone who easily messes around with others, do?"

Qin Lan’s face went white, her teeth clenched, "What nonsense are you spouting here? I’ll have you know I’m now Master Qingyun’s girlfriend! If you slander me again, I’ll make sure you regret it!"

Sun Jiancheng waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t bother with such a vulgar person. Let him go in and see my works, maybe it will be educational for him. Who knows, he might come out admiring me."

Having said that, he burst into laughter.

Shen Lingdie looked at Sun Jiancheng with disappointment, "You don’t deserve those paintings."

Sun Jiancheng glanced at Shen Lingdie, thinking how Chen Fan always had such stunning beauties by his side.

He adjusted his tie, "Beauty, the paintings are mine, how am I not worthy?"

Shen Lingdie said earnestly, "The paintings are good, you’re vulgar."

Sun Jiancheng looked irritated, "Say what you will. As far as I’m concerned, you’re just jealous of my talent. Qin Lan, let’s go. We won’t waste our time with these people who don’t understand art."

Qin Lan glared fiercely at Chen Fan, then cast skewering glances at Su Qingyan and Shen Lingdie, before strutting off with Sun Jiancheng.

"Those two are utterly despicable!" said Su Qingyan, her face seething with anger.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, "Forget it, don’t stoop to their level. Let’s go inside and see for ourselves. I’m curious as to what kind of works someone like Sun Jiancheng could produce."

The three of them entered the City Art Gallery together.

Chen Fan looked around and, upon seeing the dazzling array of paintings hung on the walls, was instantly dumbfounded.

Weren’t these the paintings he threw into the recycling bin for waste materials?

How did they become Master Qingyun’s works?
