Chapter 292 - Plunder

"Stone..." "Stone?"

Lin Sitong's voice faintly came from beside her ears.

Lin Sitong suddenly regained her senses, turned her head, and looked at Gu Zhirou as if she had awoken from a dream: "Is something the matter, Aunt Gu?"

Gu Zhirou looked at Lin Sitong gently: What's wrong with you? "I've been absent-minded all this time."

Lin Sitong pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "Nothing …"

Gu Zhirou did not continue the line of questioning, but turned her head, and admired the picture in front of him.

Lin Sitong's face revealed a trace of guilt. She had promised to come with Aunt Gu to see the Painting Exhibition, but she hadn't thought to meet Xia Sunian and Chu Xue.

After secretly cursing at himself for a while, Lin Sitong stopped thinking about other things and followed behind Gu Zhirou, seriously looking at the painting in front of him.

Looking at it, Lin Sitong's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a painting, and she was no longer able to move any further.

Lin Sitong could not understand painting, but strangely, she could find a resonance with it. Her heart beat faster and faster as her eyes stared fixedly at the painting.

In the picture, there was a little girl curled up in a corner. Her clothes were in tatters and thorns covered her feet. The dark red color seemed to be overflowing from the canvas, making her look extremely dark and gloomy.

Contrary to the color of the lower half, the upper half is a very bright tone.

A gentle hand gently rested on the little girl's head. The little girl raised her head and placed her palms together. Her eyes were filled with hope.

Lin Sitong's heart jumped with a "putong putong" sound, as her gaze landed on the name of the painting.

Hope.

Hope...

Lin Sitong's clear eyes revealed a trace of confusion.

"Do you like it?"

Gu Zhirou's voice suddenly sounded beside Lin Sitong's ears.

Lin Sitong turned her head to look at Gu Zhirou, and gently replied: "I like it."

"Buy it." Gu Zhirou laughed.

"What?" Lin Sitong immediately opened her eyes wide, looked at Gu Zhirou, and shook her head, "There's no need, there's no need! I just want to see it. "

"I noticed that our eyes were very similar." Gu Zhirou smiled, and looked at Lin Sitong with a faint smile, "Coincidentally, I like this painting too."

"Really?" Lin Sitong said in pleasant surprise.

Gu Zhirou smiled lightly at Lin Sitong, and called over the person in charge of the Painting Exhibition: Please, I would like to ask if you would like to sell this painting?

Before the person in charge could even speak, an arrogant and domineering voice sounded from behind Lin Sitong and his group, "We will be taking this painting!"

Hearing this voice, Lin Sitong immediately frowned.

Why were these two people so persistent?

"How much is this painting? Is one hundred thousand enough for you? " Xia Sunian arrogantly asked as she raised her chin.

The person in charge looked at Xia Sunian with a faint look of contempt and disgust, but due to the nature of her work, she maintained her polite smile. "Sorry, Madam, but our work is not for sale. "So no matter how much you pay, we won't sell it."

"What do you mean, it's not for sale?" Xia Sunian let out a cold laugh, raised his chin, and arrogantly looked at the person in charge, "In the end, it is still money that has not been paid in. [One hundred thousand won't do. Two hundred thousand should be enough, right?] It's just a painting, how much more do you want to sell it for? "

Gu Zhirou laughed softly when she heard this. She reached out to fan her nose, widened her eyes in shock, and lightly clicked her tongue: "What's going on? Why did I smell a terrible stench in Painting Exhibition? "

Lin Sitong was initially angry in her heart, but when she heard Gu Zhirou's words, she couldn't help but reveal a light smile.

Gu Zhirou turned her head to look at Lin Sitong, her face filled with curiosity. "Si Tong, do you know why?"

"Probably because …" As Lin Sitong spoke, she glanced at Xia Sunian and Chu Xue, then chuckled, "Because there's someone spouting nonsense here."

"What do you mean?!" Without waiting for Xia Sunian to speak, Chu Xue er opened her mouth and frowned, "What kind of status do you have to dare talk to Mrs. Pei like that?! You are just the daughter of a gambler. Do you think that you can have the same status as the real young mistresses by hugging each other? You still dare to say that the Mrs. Pei spouted nonsense, in my opinion, anyone who doesn't know their own identity must be you! "

This somewhat boastful and proud voice was incomparably ear-piercing in the quiet Painting Exhibition Hall. It instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

"Is that so?" Lin Sitong looked at Chu Xuexin, and leisurely adjusted the Clothes. The corner of his mouth slightly raised into a smile, and with a gentle voice, she looked at Chu Xuexin and asked, "Then what about you? Miss Chu, what identity did you use to say these words to me and Aunt Gu? "What's more …"

Lin Sitong paused, and then looked at Xia Sunian with a profound look: "A place like the Painting Exhibition, isn't some busy market, it's not because your voice is loud, but because you make sense by shouting a few words with your hands on your hips. This wasn't any auction. If you increased the price, there would be people willing to buy it for you. Buying a painting is a matter of mutual understanding of one's heart. You are willing to do it for both you and me, not like the Mrs. Pei, where you can just throw a few checks. "

Gu Zhirou, who was listening at the side, laughed out loud with a "puchi".

"That's right …"

"Where did this bumpkin come from?" To actually do such a loud and clamorous thing in the Painting Exhibition, it is truly unbearable! "

"Does she think that Master Li's painting was painted by some unknown little painter? Still two hundred thousand, aren't you afraid of laughing your ass off! "

"One look and I can tell you that you're here to flaunt your skills. I wonder which clan you're from!"

"I think she looks a little familiar. I heard them call her Mrs. Pei just now, it seems to be that Pei Family."

"Oh my god, this is way worse than the previous Mrs. Pei! I wonder how Pei Family took a fancy to such a woman! "

"How did you take a fancy to it?" I heard, ah, that those who hid the news from the Pei Family were pregnant with a child, and entered the Pei Family with a big belly! "

"Hey, you look like a fox!"

The surrounding people started to discuss in whispers.

These idle chatter naturally spread to Xia Sunian's ear, causing her face to immediately turn ugly.

Right now in her heart, she already hated Chu Xue to death! If not for the fact that she was constantly whispering in his ear just now, why would he rush over to snatch this painting from her?
