Chapter 1858 - 1794: Surpassing Chiang Xiao

Guo Zitong introduced her from the side: "This is Boss Deng’s wife’s nephew."

"You know my uncle?" Chen Liting asked in surprise.

Ye Wanqing suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

Deng Qingjiang’s wife’s nephew?

She still had some issues with that woman.

Because of that woman’s existence, she became the third party, and now she actually meets her nephew.

Moreover, her nephew is interested in her?

For a moment, Ye Wanqing felt an indescribable mix of emotions, but there was also a faint excitement.

If she made Chen Liting fall for her, would that add to that woman’s troubles?

Thinking about this, she gave Chen Liting a charming smile, and her voice softening slightly. "Indeed, we know each other."

"That’s great. Later, let my uncle invite you to our home to play."

Chen Liting did not doubt her, thinking Deng Qingjiang was familiar with Ye Wanqing’s elders.

After all, they were considered two generations apart.

"Sure. Actually, you could invite me too." Ye Wanqing looked at Chen Liting with alluring eyes.

After the nurturing and guidance of Deng Qingjiang, Ye Wanqing had a charm and style not common at her age, but her appearance remained youthful, blending these two feelings to create an irresistible allure to men.

Compared to before, she truly was more captivating now.

As she deliberately teased him, Chen Liting, already smitten by her, found all his attention drawn to her.

"You’re from the art academy, right? I’m from Zhongqing, in my second year. How about you? Take me to see your paintings, and after that, let me treat you to dinner, okay?"

Walking closely beside Ye Wanqing, Chen Liting chatted with her enthusiastically, leaving Guo Zitong out.

However, Ye Wanqing hadn’t forgotten her main purpose.

So, upon entering the exhibition hall, she led Chen Liting and Guo Zitong toward the place where her painting was displayed.

They had probably heard about the position beforehand.

The most prominent were, of course, the paintings by Liu Guoying and Chiang Xiao.

Seeing Chiang Xiao’s paintings, Ye Wanqing couldn’t hide the jealousy in her eyes.

As Chen Liting looked around at the paintings, he couldn’t help but comment, "This Xiao Chiang is quite famous. I originally came to see if her paintings are truly good. I heard she’s a genius beauty painter? I wonder if she’s really that beautiful..."

Hearing he came for Chiang Xiao, Ye Wanqing’s anger intensified, and she managed to ask, "Are you eager to meet her?"

Chen Liting was about to say yes, but now all his attention was on Ye Wanqing, and sensing her displeasure, he immediately corrected himself, "I was initially, but now seeing you, I have no interest in her at all. I believe she’s definitely not half as beautiful as you."

His praise was truly straightforward.

Nevertheless, Ye Wanqing was pleased.

"She merely has a good teacher willing to support her." Her gaze flicked over a painting by Liu Guoying, suddenly recalling another master.

That one painted traditional Chinese paintings and was a monumental figure in the Chinese painting world, renowned much earlier than Liu Guoying.

If she could become that person’s student, her resources would certainly surpass those of Chiang Xiao!

Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing’s spirit surged with excitement.

She just needed to make a name for herself in this exhibition!

Once recognized, she would have the credit to request a meeting with him.

Of course, Deng Qingjiang’s wealth would pave the way, along with some expensive gifts.
