Chapter 1665: Approaching You Will Only Bring Misfortune

~7 min read 1,371 words

Xu Nianxin wanted to say something more, but someone grabbed her wrist.

Then, her body stumbled backward; she was actually being dragged away!

Xu Nianxin turned her head and shouted with a look of unwillingness, "Dad, don't pull me, let go!"

The West Hall Master not only didn't let go, but instead dragged his daughter along, walking faster and faster.

Xu Nianxin followed the West Hall Master for a long way before shaking off her father's hand.

She then stomped her feet and shouted, "It's all your fault that Brother Wanyi is so insistent on drawing a line between us!"

Now, whenever the West Hall Master heard the three words "Xie Wanyi," he felt a headache coming on!

Yet his daughter still treated him like a treasure, making the West Hall Master so angry he wanted to throw her into the swimming pool to clear her head!

Of course, he couldn't bear to do that.

Instead, after taking a deep breath, he said calmly, "He has never even looked at you properly; why do you insist on pestering him?"

"Even an ice cube can be melted one day; as long as I keep standing behind Brother Wanyi, he will definitely turn around and see me!"

"But there are so many good men in this world, why must you insist on finding one who is so unromantic?"

"Because in my eyes, Brother Wanyi is the best; other men aren't even worth a single hair of his!"

"You... you are stubborn and unyielding; you will regret this sooner or later!"

"Wrong, sooner or later, I will make Xie Wanyi your son-in-law!"

Still wanting him to be a son-in-law?

Keep dreaming!

That short-lived ghost Xie Wanyi will die by his own hands sooner or later!!

The West Hall Master had wanted to get rid of Xie Wanyi all along.

At this moment, the ruthlessness in his heart was like a flame, flashing with monstrous light!

The news of Jiang Motian winning the award soon spread throughout the domestic circles.

Quite a few people began to know about this beautiful painter.

After her fame soared, some people invited Jiang Motian to hold a solo exhibition.

Jiang Motian had brought some of her previous works back to the country.

She had also painted new works recently.

As long as she prepared a few more pieces, the exhibition could indeed be held.

But she wasn't very interested in an exhibition.

So she politely declined.

Now, she preferred to carry her drawing board and walk around.

Whenever she discovered a beautiful scene, she would sit down and paint it.

Free and following her heart.

Wei Yangyang would sometimes follow her around to hang out.

Like right now, she had skipped work to follow her here.

Jiang Motian asked with some helplessness, "Is it really okay to skip work?"

"It's fine, I've already arranged everything in advance. Are your paints enough? Do you need me to prepare some more for you?"

The paints in the Art Studio were indeed running low.

But how could Jiang Motian have the heart to keep troubling Wei Yangyang?

So she denied it, "It's enough, we..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt someone blocking her path.

Looking up, she saw that the person was a woman with a slender figure and fashionable attire.

The woman's face was very delicate, and the jewelry she wore was quite exaggerated.

The look in her eyes... was extremely sharp.

If Li Moning saw this woman, she would definitely recognize at a glance that this was Xiang Nan, the young designer she highly admired.

She was also the younger sister of Xiang Bei.

The moment she saw her, Jiang Motian's hands and feet turned cold.

Some bad memories also surged over like a tide...

She knew that after returning to the country, there would eventually be a day when they would meet.

But no matter how she prepared, when such a situation actually played out, Jiang Motian still felt uneasy.

Xiang Nan had originally come to have afternoon tea with a few friends.

She had unexpectedly seen her former "good, part, ner"!

She immediately blocked Jiang Motian and said with a mocking smile, "Isn't this the beautiful painter Jiang Motian? Now that you're doing so well, I'm afraid you don't even recognize us old friends anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan's friends asked in surprise, "You know the daughter of the Li Family?"

"Yes, we were classmates."

"Then why haven't you mentioned it before!"

"Because... how could someone from a humble background like us dare to associate with the Li Family?"

Xiang Nan stared at Jiang Motian with cold eyes.

Even though she was smiling, there was no warmth in the depths of her eyes.

Jiang Motian had always been eloquent.

But at this moment, her mind went blank, and she couldn't say a single word.

And that guilty look of hers made Xiang Nan feel disgusted!

She spoke up, becoming increasingly impolite: "I wonder which unlucky soul is acting as your model lately?"

Seeing that every word she said was full of innuendo, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but ask: "We haven't seen each other in a long time, must it be like this?"

"Oh, you didn't speak, so I didn't even notice the little follower was here too. What, as soon as Jiang Motian returns, you immediately go back to being a follower? You really are servile!"

"You, you shouldn't go too far!"

"The one who is truly going too far is the person beside you!"

Xiang Nan's expression changed, and she accused Jiang Motian: "I thought you would go to my brother's grave to pay a visit, but you haven't gone even once!"

This time, Jiang Motian opened her mouth and spoke: "How do you know I haven't gone?"

"If you had gone, you definitely would have brought the cake he loved most! But every time I go, it's completely empty!"

"Actually, Xiang Bei didn't love cake; he only lied to you because I liked it."

"Hmph, stop spouting nonsense. I'm his sister, how could I not know!"

Xiang Nan felt she couldn't control her temper anymore, so she took a deep, forceful breath.

Once she calmed down a little, she snapped irritably: "We can't afford to offend your Li Family, but the way you put on an act and hang paintings in the Meishuguan is truly disgusting!"

"That was... a promise between your brother and me!"

"What kind of bullshit promise is that!"

In the end, Xiang Nan did not control her temper.

She even raised her arm at Jiang Motian!

But at the critical moment, someone reached out and grabbed Xiang Nan's wrist.

This person even reprimanded her: "Resorting to violence in a public place, this young lady is truly daring!"

"What business is it of yours!?"

"Seeing an injustice and stepping in!"

This person had a very strong grip, hurting Xiang Nan.

This pain also made her calm down.

She also knew that continuing to make a scene would do her no good.

Therefore, Xiang Nan pretended to be calmed down by her friend, then shook off the man's hand.

But before leaving, Xiang Nan muttered as if casting a curse: "Your popularity is still as good as ever. But whoever gets close to you will become unfortunate!"

Xiang Nan left after saying that.

And because of her words, Jiang Motian recalled something, and her entire state of being was not very good.

At this moment, Jiang Motian wanted to find a place with no one around to stay for a while.

So she thanked the person who had helped her, and then prepared to leave.

But the moment Jiang Motian turned around...

"Tiantian!"

The intimate way the other party addressed her made Jiang Motian stop in her tracks.

She turned her head and saw the young man who had just helped her, shouting with a face full of excitement: "It's me, Xiaoshi, have you forgotten me?"

Xiaoshi...

Jiang Motian reacted for a moment before her pupils slowly constricted, staring at the person in front of her in disbelief!

She was trying hard to size the other person up.

She wanted to find the shadow of the past on this face.
