Chapter 762: Ident.i.ty Exposed
Qiao Xi knew that Qi Zhong would be attending the exhibition, but how did Tang Ruge have the cheek to come?
Seeing that Qiao Xi had been staring at Tang Ruge’s name, the person in charge explained, “Miss Han Yin, Miss Tang is Mr. Qi Zhong’s apprentice, so the art exhibition made an exception for Miss Tang to partic.i.p.ate and allowed her to provide a painting.”
Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent. She did not find it strange that Tang Ruge and Qi Zhong had become master and apprentice again. After all, the two of them were similar.
It was just that the last time she was in Fragrance Hotel, she had tested Tang Ruge and realized that she did not know how to paint. It had only been a few days, but her standard had already reached the level where she could partic.i.p.ate in an art exhibition?
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Xi understood. Qi Zhong liked to use the works of others and pa.s.s them off as his. He had so many apprentices, so he could just find a random apprentice to come up with a painting for Tang Ruge. No one would notice.
Qiao Xi continued to flip through the list but did not see the name she wished to see the most. She asked in disappointment, “Han Ye isn’t here?”
The person in charge looked surprised. “Han Ye?”
“Yeah!” Qiao Xi was puzzled.
The person in charge looked meaningfully at the obedient woman in front of him. “Miss Han Yin, you’re so familiar with Han Ye. You should know very well whether he’s coming or not, right?”
Although Han Ye was not here, the person in charge had called him before this. Han Ye said that he would attend with Miss Han Yin!
Qiao Xi was not surprised in the slightest when she heard this, and she explained indifferently, “I don’t know Han Ye. I chose this name because I’m his fan!”
The person in charge frowned and fell into deep thought when he saw the words ‘husband and wife’ on the information sheet.
Qiao Xi continued, “I know many people think that we’re master and apprentice, but we really don’t know each other. I just admire him very much, so I wanted to ask if he came.”
The person in charge’s eyes were filled with confusion. ‘I know you’re not master and apprentice, but aren’t you husband and wife?’
He took a deep breath and said, “I don’t know when Mr. Han Ye will come, but you must know.”
Qiao Xi: “?” ‘Haven’t I explained myself clearly enough? I already said that we don’t know each other, so why doesn’t the person in charge believe me?!’
Qiao Xi returned to the hall helplessly and saw Gu Zheng waiting for her at the door. The tall man was wearing a black windbreaker and exuded a n.o.ble aura, attracting the burning gazes of countless women.
Seeing that her man was being coveted by others, Qiao Xi hurriedly ran over. “Ah Zheng!”
The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly. He looked in the direction she ran back and asked teasingly, “Mrs. Gu, did you go to the bathroom?”
Qiao Xi did not notice that something was wrong and blurted out, “Yeah, didn’t I say so just now?”
Gu Zheng curled his lips into a smile and teased her, saying, “Xi Xi, the bathroom is on the left side of the hall, while you went to the right. Even if you had realized that you were in the wrong area, you’d still have to pa.s.s through the hall to reach the bathroom on the left. Did you fly there?”
Qiao Xi was dumbstruck: “…” It was over! She had been caught lying!
Gu Zheng’s light brown eyes were filled with smiles. “I heard that Miss Han Yin is a very young woman. Seeing you today, you’re indeed as young as the rumors say!”
Song s.h.i.+yu asked in confusion, “Where’s Miss Han Yin? Why don’t I see her?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xi raised her eyes in shock and looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief. He had known all along!
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes, and their gazes met. Qiao Xi was terrified to the point her entire body trembled. She knew that she could not hide it anymore, so she could only say obediently, “Ah Zheng, I originally wanted to tell you, but I forgot. If it weren’t for Tang Ruge, I wouldn’t even have remembered that I can paint!
“The two paintings that I provided to the exhibition were just something that I casually painted, so I didn’t tell you. You can understand, right?”
Gu Zheng said casually, “Mrs. Gu, you don’t have a good memory! How can you forget such a thing?”
Qiao Xi nodded like a chick pecking on rice with a serious expression.
Song s.h.i.+yu complained in his heart, ‘Young Madam, you’d better tell the truth. Don’t think that you can escape just by saying a few perfunctory words.’ Last time, the president asked him if he had forgotten, and he replied that he had. Then, the president replied casually, ‘What’s the point of keeping you if you have a bad memory? Go to the island and train!’
At this moment, Song s.h.i.+yu could not help but worry for Young Madam. How was Young Madam going to train on the island with her weak body? She would definitely faint!
The next second, Gu Zheng glanced at Song s.h.i.+yu and smiled. “Xi Xi must be too busy to remember. I won’t blame her.”
