After the Marriage Cancellation, She Becomes a True Ancestor-Chapter 67 - Master Ye Arrived Late (Two in one)

Rong Shengming gripped his walking stick tightly and forced himself to calm down. That person was already dead, and the girl in front of him only shared the same name as her. After all, they were relatives, so it was normal for them to look a little similar.

Thinking of Su Ye’s words, he smiled awkwardly at Grandfather Wang at the side. Then, he glared fiercely at Su Ye and silently retreated to the back.

The Wang family’s cooperation was extremely important to the Rong family. At this time, he could not allow Su Ye to sow discord between them.

Wang Qingshen did not say much. Just now, the street lights outside were dim. Now that everyone had entered the venue, he used the bright light in the venue to carefully size up Su Ye.

She really seemed more and more like that person. Not only were her looks similar, even her demeanor was somewhat similar…

Rong Ruo saw that the situation was awkward and adjusted her mood. She took the initiative to step forward and talked to Su Ye, pretending to be friendly, “Ye Ye, have you brought the painting for Grandpa Wang?”

Without waiting for Su Ye to answer, Rong Ruo noticed that the painting in her hand was not even in a gift box. She actually rolled it up and brought it over just like that?

Rong Ruo smiled brightly. “It’s good that you’ve brought it. Don’t stand here anymore. Let’s go over there. We’ll present it to Grandpa Wang together in a while. He’ll definitely be very happy.”

As she spoke, she brought Su Ye to the side. As they walked, she turned to look at Bo Yunli. She was too embarrassed to look straight at Bo Yunli’s face. She only lowered her eyes and gave him a knowing smile.

Bo Yunli must be annoyed that Su Ye kept pestering him. He would definitely thank her for being so considerate to pull Su Ye away

She was really self-righteous.

In fact, the moment Su Ye was taken away from Bo Yunli’s side, his expression froze. He stopped smiling and stared at her retreating figure with a cold gaze.

Rong Ruo was a huge hindrance.

In order to promote the cooperation, Xu Huanying had prepared a gorgeous gift. However, that kind of gift that was just a formality did not have much value in Wang Qingshen’s eyes. He only nodded slightly, indicating for the butler to accept it.

The guests’ gifts had all been presented, and Rong Ruo and Su Ye’s paintings became the finale.

This was exactly the effect that Rong Ruo wanted.

Su Ye held the painting and leaned lazily on the side. Rong Ruo glanced at her and asked very considerately, “Do you want to present it first or should I present it first?”

Su Ye gave her an ambiguous smile, “Either will do.”

Rong Ruo snickered to herself, “Since either will do, why don’t I go first?”

Grandfather Wang had seen her paintings before, so his aesthetic standards and expectations would definitely be raised. After that, when he looked at Su Ye’s paintings, the difference in quality would be even greater! Although Master Ye said that he would only arrive at the venue in about ten minutes, Rong Ruo could not wait any longer.

Su Ye raised her chin slightly to express his agreement.

“Grandfather Wang, I know that you like Chinese paintings. I made this painting for you. I hope that you will like it.” Rong Ruo walked in front of Wang Qingshen, and the guests all quieted down.

As the focus of everyone’s attention, Rong Ruo carefully took out the painting scroll from the box and unfolded it bit by bit. In an instant, a lifelike ink landscape painting was displayed in front of everyone.

The brush strokes were smooth, the composition was bright, and the colors were gentle. It was truly a masterpiece.

Wang Qingshen beamed with joy and clapped his hands in praise.

Wang Dongqing even took the lead in clapping. He had long heard that Rong Ruo had Master Ye as her teacher, but he did not expect her to be so talented!

He glanced at Su Ye with disdain. In a moment, she would know that even though his grandfather personally arrived, he would only choose the Rong family to cooperate with. Thinking about how the arrogant Su Ye was about to be slapped in the face, Wang Dongqing almost laughed out loud.

Most of the guests were laymen and could not understand paintings. However, hearing Grandfather Wang’s praise, they all clapped in agreement.

The praises continued, and Rong Shengming was extremely pleased. The unhappiness from Su Ye’s rebuke was completely thrown to the back of his mind, and he returned to his usual arrogance.

How could his granddaughter be anything but outstanding?

At this moment, Xu Huanying’s expression was awkward, and even Su Jinyang felt a faint sense of unease. Rong Ruo was deeply liked by Wang Qingshen. With this momentum, it was hard to say who the Wang family would cooperate with.

“Grandpa Wang, you flatter me. Su Ye also painted something for you. Her painting is definitely better than mine.” As she spoke, she looked towards Su Ye’s direction.

Rong Ruo’s plan was working.

“Oh?” Wang Qingshen smiled gently. “Show it to me. I am looking forward to it.”

Su Ye slowly curved her lips. She walked calmly to Rong Ruo’s side, took out her own painting, and unrolled it.

This was a painting of a bamboo forest. It was in black and white. Compared to Rong Ruo’s gorgeous landscape, it looked much simpler at first glance.

As expected, Su Ye’s painting did not receive applause. Instead, it received a wave of ridicule.

To be precise, from the moment Su Ye revealed her painting, the mocking laughter began to ring out.

“What? There’s no box? It’s so funny!”

“She drew bamboo? Even elementary school students can draw bamboo, right? This is too much!”

“Rong Ruo is really modest. She can paint so much better than her!”

Rong Ruo’s face was filled with delight, while Wang Dongqing held back his laughter until his shoulders trembled.

Su Ye did not show any surprised expression either. The smile on the corner of her lips never disappeared.

She was always like this. No matter what others said, it never seemed to concern her. No one could guess what she was thinking.

In the venue, besides Xu Huanying, who covered her eyes and didn’t dare to look, and Su Jinyang, who had an awkward expression, there were only two people who didn’t laugh. They were Bo Yunli and Wang Qingshen.

Bo Yunli stared at the painting with his black eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

And Wang Qingshen’s expression was even harder to decipher…

At this moment, the door to the venue opened again.

Master Ye had arrived late.

Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on the master of traditional Chinese painting, Master Ye.

Master Ye was highly respected and lived in seclusion. He rarely showed his face. They had long heard that Master Ye would attend Grandfather Wang’s welcoming banquet this time. After waiting for a long time, he had finally arrived!

Rong Ruo laughed lightly and said very proudly, “Master, it just so happens that you’re here. We were just showing Grandfather Wang my painting.”

This caused an uproar among the guests.

“Rong Ruo is actually Master Ye’s disciple? No wonder her painting is so good!”

“A famous teacher produces a good disciple. There’s nothing wrong with that!”

Su Ye glanced at Master Ye indifferently. When he met her gaze, Su Ye moved her gaze away indifferently. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

Master Ye’s face was filled with astonishment. When he saw the painting in Su’s hand, his entire body froze. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

“Master, please comment on my painting.” Seeing Master Ye standing where he was, Rong Ruo reminded him again.

With Master Ye’s praise, the collaboration between the Wang and Rong families would be stable.

Master Ye slowly came back to his senses, and smiled at his beloved disciple in response.

As Master Ye approached step by step, Rong Ruo’s expression became more and more complacent.

Just when she saw Master Ye approaching from the corner of her eyes, Master Ye’s voice rang out, “May I ask if I can take a closer look at your painting?”

“Of course.” Rong Ruo readily handed her painting over.

But in the next second, she was completely dumbfounded. Master Ye was not looking at her, but at Su Ye, who had become a laughingstock beside him!

There was a hint of excitement between Master Ye’s brows. He said humbly to Su Ye, “May I ask if I can take a closer look at your painting?”
