Chapter 124 – The Boss Is A Picky Eater Tsundere? (2)
Old Mrs. Chen patted her on her hand with a smile.
“When you look at a painting, it’s all about one’s appreciation. Everybody has different experiences and aesthetics, and therefore, different preferences. If you ask me, I like the Mystical Peach painting more.”
Chen Kexin bit her lower lips. She couldn’t believe how highly her grandmother thought of Gu Shishi.
“When you reach the mastery level, the way they use the pen and ink are more or less on par with each other, yet not all paintings can touch the viewers.
“Making the viewers pour in their own emotions and finally, not being able to tell whether they were appreciating the painting or themselves. To me, that’s the kind of touching that is most valuable.” Old Mrs. Chen put her cellphone away and got up slowly.
“All in all, Keke, you must be respectful to the guru. Artists like them all have some kind of quirks. If the guru didn’t want to do something, don’t push for it; and also don’t offend him or rush him for paintings.
“You must go along with his wishes. Do you understand?”
Chen Kexin felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and could say nothing more than a simple acknowledgement.
If Gu Shishi was so mighty, why was she bullying on Wushuang? Or was she was telling the truth at the banquet the other day; that she didn’t really care about the Gu’s inheritance?
And if that’s the case... why did Wushuang want to paint her in such a negative light?
Pingting had plotted so much against Gu Shishi but Wushuang had never said a thing about it, never stood up and clarified for Gu Shishi. Wasn’t that the same as painting her in a bad light purposefully?
But, Wushuang has always been such a considerate person. She was pure and kind like a piece of white paper. What was going on?
“Oh my God! I am going to go crazy! What is the truth here?!” She couldn’t help but hug her head and grunted loudly.
Old Mrs. Chen turned around. “Huh?”
“Oh, nothing... The guru just sent us a bunch of fan mounts for us to pick. But I felt that they are all pretty... em... I’m not sure which ones to pick.”
“Really? Quickly, show me!”
Old Mrs. Chen was revitalized all over again!
Chen Kexin: “......”

While Gu Shishi was sound asleep and drooling all over the place, the progress on the “Chen Kexin” assignment went up significantly.
Even Gu Shishi herself hadn’t expected that hadn’t expected that her one “Four Sons Offering Up Mythical Peaches” painting would have received such high praise from Grandma Chen.
Along with the painting, even her own status among the Chen’s had gone up by a lot!
She hasn’t even done anything yet, but Grandma Chen’s words had planted the seed of doubt about Gu Wushuang in Chen Kexin’s head.
Just a small inkling right now. That in and of itself wasn’t enough to make Chen Kexin completely turn around, but it was, after all, a seed that was planting in her relationship with Gu Wushuang.
All it needed was an opportunity for it to explode!
***
A night with a good dream and Gu Shishi slept till the sun was beating down on her butt the next day.
Gu Shishi was still smiling. She had a great dream that the boss had bought her a houseful of gifts.
The system informed her that she has 100 years of life left and she was so happy that she rolled all over the gifts...
And then, she was woken up cruelly by her alarm clock.
Gu Shishi opened her eyes and sadly realized that it was all but a dream.
“That’s alright. It must be a premonition dream,” concluded Gu Shishi shamelessly.
She stanchly crawled out of bed. With her eyes still half closed, she walked into the dining room toward the scrumptious food using just her instinct.
Nonetheless, while she was enjoying her crispy and smooth fish filet porridge, she received a notebook from Mr. Chef.
“Miss Gu, I have written down dishes that Young Master likes and the directions to make them. Thank you for helping me out next week.”
Gu Shishi quickly wiped her mouth and solemnly accepted it.
