The scene instantly turned awkward, and the atmosphere froze.
The three of them did not say anything. Guan Yutong squeezed into the crowd and stood beside Wei Zhou.
“Hi, Miss Su Yan, long time no see!”
Guan Yutong took the initiative to greet her. There was not a hint of awkwardness on her face. She was very polite as if she was a completely different person from before.
The corner of Lin Zhenhui’s mouth twitched. He suspected that Guan Yutong had a split personality. He held back and did not expose her. She would refuse to admit it, so there was nothing he could do.
Su Yan smiled gracefully, “Long time no see, Miss Guan! I heard that you held a personal photography exhibition, so I came specially to support you.”
“Miss Su, you are too polite. Only a portion of my works are on display today, so there will be more in the future,” Guan Yutong said with a smile.
“I’m surprised that Miss Su likes it. Why don’t I give you this one I have in my hand?”
Before she finished her sentence, Guan Yutong handed over a piece of work to Su Yan.
Su Yan sneered in her heart. This woman was really a scheming woman. She deliberately said that Su Yan liked it, making it seem like she was superior to her.
After taking a look at the contents of this piece of work, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She understood that Guan Yutong was insulting her.
The title of the piece was ‘Abandoned’. It was a young woman with tears in her eyes and disheveled hair. A few withered yellow leaves fell before her, adding a sense of desolation to it.
“Miss Guan, I appreciate your kindness. I think there’s no need for this gift.” Su Yan said calmly.
Not mentioning what its contents were insinuating, it simply looked like it’d bring bad luck if she hung it up at home.
“Oh, is it because you don’t fancy it or is it because you can’t understand the connotation of this work?” Guan Yutong asked with a smile.
Guan Yutong had truly exemplified the term ‘b*tch’.
Su Yan sneered in her heart. She knew very well that Guan Yutong was deliberately provoking her. What connotation did it imply? It implied that she had been abandoned by Wei Zhou. After all, the title of this work was “Abandoned”.
Turning to look at Lin Zhenhui, Su Yan asked, “Zhenhui, what do you think of Miss Guan’s photography work?”
“Nothing much.” Lin Zhenhui said bluntly.
Su Yan’s face turned slightly red. Lin Zhenhui was being too blunt. Even she felt embarrassed.
“Be more tactful. I don’t want to be chased out by Miss Guan,” Su Yan said unhurriedly.
Angry and sad, Guan Yutong felt like she was about to explode. Hearing Lin Zhenhui’s evaluation with her own ears, her expression soured.
“Well, you know more about these things.” Su Yan nodded and said, “If I knew you didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have brought you here. Let’s go.”
“Okay, Yan Yan. I’ll accompany you wherever you go,” Lin Zhenhui chimed.
Then, the two of them turned around and left. Throughout the whole process, Su Yan did not even look at Wei Zhou, treating him as if he was air.
Wei Zhou suppressed his anger and his dark eyes followed Su Yan closely. Hearing Lin Zhenhui calling “Yan Yan” made him feel very uncomfortable.
What was the relationship between them?
“Hey, isn’t this Su Yan? Why are you here too?” Zhong Cuiping’s voice sounded, “Do you think you’re doing well just because you found a celebrity?”
“Also, young man, although you are a celebrity, you should keep a low profile. You don’t know anything, and you still have the nerve to comment on other people’s works.”
Initially, she did not want to say anything, but when she saw that her “future daughter-in-law” Guan Yutong in trouble, she could not hold it in anymore.
Lin Zhenhui and Su Yan stopped in their tracks and looked at Zhong Cuiping.
When she saw Zhong Cuiping and Wei Shani, Su Yan felt a trace of bitterness in her heart.
Two years ago, on her 24th birthday, Tang Yitong had organized a small birthday party for her. She had originally planned to tell Wei Zhou and the Wei Family about her background at the party.
An awkward scene happened. That night, other than the people from the company, no one from the Wei Family came, including those who usually had some dealings with her.
The next day, she found out that Wei Shani had created a group chat and started to talk about her “embarrassing things” in the group, making her sound completely useless. In the end, everyone in the group decided not to attend Su Yan’s birthday party.
When she saw Zhong Cuiping and Wei Shani here today, her heart ached!
“You’re my anti-fan, aren’t you?” Lin Zhenhui said seriously, “You actually think such a piece of trash work is good?”
“Let’s not talk about the content of the picture. The skills of the photographer alone are very average. If I’m not wrong, this work was captured spontaneously. Although the content looks rich and profound, it did not even manage to capture the soul.”
“The work is called Abandoned. The photographer only showed the side of a woman who was abandoned but failed to consider whether the woman was abandoned, or that she finally abandoned someone else. That tear may not be a tear of pain, but of happiness.”
“What is a good piece of work? One that can bring different experiences and feelings to everyone and not give everyone the same perception and experience.”
Lin Zhenhui put on his sunglasses with a proud smile on his face after finishing his speech.
