Chapter 226
The anxious He Shiqin heard Wu Chen’s slight cough. She turned to look at Wu Chen. Naturally, she didn’t recognize Wu Chen, but she quickly walked a few steps closer to Wu Chen.
“Hello, sir, have you seen a tall little girl? My daughter is fourteen years old. She must have just ran out…” She approached Wu Chen while talking and gesticulating.
Wu Chen smiled and said nothing, directly raised his hand and pointed to the back of the Mercedes-Benz.
He easily betrayed He Xinxin.
He Shiqin turned around and saw He Xinxin hiding on the other side of the car.
“He! Xin! Xin! You dare run!” He Shiqin shouted and hurried over.
He Xinxin ducked and circled the car to hide from her mother. She still wanted to run, but Wu Chen had already walked to the car, grabbed the hem of He Xinxin’s big clothes, and lifted He Xinxin up.
He Shiqin, who walked around the back of the car, saw her, immediately went to her and grabbed He Xinxin’s wrist.
“Damn girl, are you playing hide and seek with me? I’m going to be so angry with you…” He Shiqin was so angry.
He Xinxin’s eyes were red again, but she did not argue with her mother. Instead, she glared at Wu Chen. She didn’t know what was going on with this young man. He knew her but betrayed her.
“Thank you, thank you,” He Shiqin said thank you to Wu Chenlian again. She was also very anxious. She had never had such a fierce argument with her daughter. It was also the first time that her daughter tran away from home.
“You’re welcome, it’s just a little effort.” Wu Chen had already let go of He Xinxin’s hat and asked with a smile while putting his hand in his pocket, “Are you arguing about painting again?” “We are… eh?” He Shiqin subconsciously answered, followed by a pause.
She didn’t know the young man in front of her, but the young man in front of her seemed to know both of them.
He even knew about painting?
“Are you…” He Shiqin asked hesitantly and uncertainly. She looked Wu Chen up and down. He looked like a very wealthy second-generation young man. He Shiqin could tell at a glance the brand of suit he was wearing and the watch he was wearing.
Wu Chen still held the Mercedes-Benz keys in his left hand, and she also saw it.
He Shiqin couldn’t remember who the young man in front of him was.
“Didn’t you send me a lot of Xinxin’s sketches intermittently in the past few days, as well as her self-portraits, and the sketches she drew for you…” Wu Chen said with a reminding smile.
He Shiqin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to her senses.
“You, you are Xingchen…” She was very surprised, pleasantly surprised, but a little afraid to admit it because Wu Chen was too young.
“Xinxin’s paintings are very good, I can recognize her at a glance,” Wu Chen said with a smile again.
“Teacher Xingchen, it’s really you! You are so young!”
“Let me meet you formally. My name is Wu Chen.”
“Teacher Wu, hello. Hello, my name is He Shiqin, and this is my daughter He Xinxin…”
The two shook hands, formal introductions.
He Shiqin was very happy. After she finished speaking, she pulled her daughter and said, “Xinxin, this is the teacher Xingchen I told you. Please greet your teacher…” He Xinxin didn’t say a word, just looking very childish.
She was staring at Wu Chen with red eyes, as if she wanted to stare Wu Chen to death.
She was angrier.
The fire was bigger!
Because this time, He Shiqin and He Xinxin suddenly had a big fight because of Wu Chen.
More than ten minutes ago, after Wu Chen and He Shiqin talked on the phone, He Shiqin started to prepare. It was the first time a teacher would come, so it was hard to say whether he could teach.
Naturally, she wanted her daughter to perform well. Not only did she ask her daughter He Xinxin to find all the sketches in the past and rummage through the cabinets, but she also warned her daughter He Xinxin not to make the teacher angry again, otherwise… she said a few harsh words.
Then the scene that Wu Chen saw when he arrived at the gate of the community happened…
Because of this situation, He Shiqin hurriedly followed her daughter who slammed the door. Naturally, she didn’t take her mobile phone, so when Wu Chen called her and no one answered.
He Xinxin stared at Wu Chen.
She already had a very bad impression of Wu Chen, and now it’s even worse! In her mind, she had even begun to think about how to get rid of this annoying teacher!
No, she needed to teach him a lesson before driving him away!
“This kid…” Seeing He Xinxin’s silence, He Shiqin spoke.
It was hard to reprimand her any more, after all, they were on the street.
“Xing… Teacher Wu, let’s go up and talk. You see… oh, I showed you a joke of a scene,” He Shiqin said to Wu Chen and sighed again.
“Sure.” Wu Chen nodded.
A few minutes later…
Century Garden Community, Unit 3, Room 702…
It was a full 120 square meters, with a layout of three bedrooms and two living rooms. It was well decorated. Although it did not gave the feeling of a luxurious and exquisite “model room”, it was very warm and exuded a familial atmosphere. The house was large, but only He Shiqin and He Xinxin lived there.
After Wu Chen entered the door, he looked around.
In fact, he knew what was going on here without looking. He had been here many times in reincarnation, and he knew that two of the three rooms here were bedrooms, and one… was He Xinxin’s studio.
“Teacher Wu, slippers…” He Shiqin brought Wu Chen slippers.
He Xinxin, who was dragged back by force, threw away her mother’s hand as soon as she got home.
She angrily went back to her room and slammed the door.
There was a loud “bang”…
“This child…” He Shiqin muttered and sighed, but did not go over to scold her daughter because Wu Chen was there.
If she had a big quarrel with her daughter again and Wu Chen saw this, the matter of asking Wu Chen to be a tutor was out of the question.
“Teacher Wu, sit over here…” He Shiqin politely asked Wu Chen again.
In the next hour or so, He Shiqin poured tea and brought fruits to Wu Chen.
Then, she said good things about her daughter and showed Wu Chen a lot of paintings that He Xinxin had painted before.
He Shiqin was particularly warm and polite, because she felt that Wu Chen was either a rich second generation with an excellent tutor or a talented young painter, otherwise Wu Chen would not look so rich.
The possibility of combining the two was also very high.
He Shiqin had no doubt about Wu Chen’s painting skills.
She believed that Wu Chen, like those famous old gentlemen, was not short of money. Whether he was willing to teach students must depend on whether the students were good or not, not how much money they gave.
“Teacher Wu, look… this was drawn by Xinxin in kindergarten when she was five years old. She had never learned anything at that time, but she was better at drawing than other children. Her teacher even praised her…” He Shiqin handed another one to Wu Chen.
The paper was a little yellowed.
It’s not a sketch, but a watercolor. The painting was naturally very childlike.
Wu Chen took it, looked at it, and said with a smile, “She is really talented, and her paintings are very imaginative…”
Almost everything was shown to Wu Chen..
He Shiqin looked at the clock on the wall, then stood up and said, “Teacher Wu, if it’s okay with you, you can stay for lunch. I will cook now. After lunch, we can chat again. You see…”
“Okay.” Wu Chen nodded.
He Shiqin smiled suddenly and gestured. “Teacher Wu, please sit down first. You can take a look around… That’s the studio… I’m going to cook…” After saying that, He Shiqin went to the kitchen.
Wu Chen stood up, took out his cell phone, flipped through it, put it away, and then walked towards the studio.
The room was not big, but for a studio, it was not small. It was a little messy, with chairs, shelves and drawing boards, and a lot of pencils in the box on the table.
Wu Chen entered the studio and took a casual look.
At the same time, the door to the bedroom next door cracked open.
She entered the studio and closed the door directly.
He Xinxin observed the living room for a moment before opening the door completely and coming out. She could hear voices in the kitchen, and after looking around a little, she saw Wu Chen in the drawing room, his back to the door.
She leaned against the door, as if blocking Wu Chen.
Wu Chen turned around and glanced at He Xinxin.
“Oops! Why are you hitting me?! Don’t hit me!” He Xinxin sounded scared and aggrieved as soon as she opened her mouth.
