Chapter 146: Was Too Biased

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xu Wanwan’s clear eyes did not contain a single trace of impurity, looking as if she could not bear to be rejected.

Master Nanshan suddenly smiled. “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. The works here are not for sale for the time being.”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. She did not feel very disappointed. This was within expectations.

The works that were placed here must have a very high collection value. If she were to buy them, no one would be able to see them the next time they came here.

The smile on Zhou Lin’s face gradually deepened. It seemed that she did not need to do anything. This Xu Wanwan would get out of here sooner or later.

Xu Yue was even more mocking in her heart. She was just waiting to see a joke.

But in the next moment, Master Nanshan’s words made everyone dumbfounded.

“My work here is not for sale, but I can give you one.”

Xu Wanwan’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. “What did you say?”

“Whichever one you like, take it.” Master Nanshan pointed at the works on the wall and said with a smile, “Take it as my gift to you as your Master.”

Xu Wanwan pinched herself lightly. After making sure that this was not a dream, she was very happy.

Lin Jianan could finally fulfill one of her father’s dreams.

“Thank you, Master!” Xu Wan smiled very brightly. “But I can’t take your things for free. I know that you are not short of money. When I succeed in making a name for myself in the future, I’ll return this with better works.”

Master Nanshan nodded approvingly. “Okay.”

Zhou Lin and Xu Yue, who were standing at the side, both had ugly expressions on their faces.

The jealousy in Zhou Lin’s eyes was almost seeping out. He had been her master for so many years, but she had never enjoyed such treatment!

One had to know that her Master had doted on her the most in the past and had taught her the most principles.

But Xu Wanwan had just arrived, and her Master’s attitude toward her had gotten even colder.

Now, he actually gave her such a good painting. This was unfair!

Xu Yue also felt that it was unfair.

When she came today, she had clearly prepared a gift for Master Nanshan, but not only did she not receive a gift in return, she instead saw Xu Wanwan receiving such an expensive gift.

Master Nanshan was too biased!

Could it be that just because Xu Wanwan had a relationship with Li Jingran that he has become biased toward her?

Xu Yue only dared to be unhappy in her heart, but she did not dare to stand out and say anything.

Zhou Lin, on the other hand, was different. She had always been Master Nanshan’s favorite disciple, and this matter made her very uncomfortable. She rebuked, “Master, you haven’t even given me a gift to acknowledge me as your disciple.”

“Oh, you. You’ve been with me for so many years. Why are you still bickering with a newbie?”

“Master, then no matter how long I’ve been with you, I’ll still be your favorite disciple.” The corners of Zhou Lin’s lips curled up slightly, and she showed a very unhappy look. “Next time you give me a gift, you have to give me one too. Otherwise, I’ll be angry.”

Master Nanshan said in a deep voice, “Don’t mess around.”

When Zhou Lin heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable, but she could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart.

Hmph, if you don’t want a mess, then don’t mess around.

Sooner or later, she would think of a way to chase Xu Wanwan out.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for dinner later?” Master Nanshan looked at the time and said.

Xu Yue and Zhou Lin also agreed.

Master Nanshan looked at Xu Wanwan. “Little Xu, are you alright later?”

Just as Xu Wanwan was about to answer, the phone in her bag rang.

She thought it might be Li Jingran, so she said apologetically, “Sorry, my family might have come to pick me up.”

“No problem. Let your family come together. Let’s have dinner tonight.”

It just so happened that he wanted to see what kind of family Xu Wanwan’s family was. They could actually train her to be like this.

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. She didn’t know if Li Jingran would agree.

She said softly, “Then I’ll ask first.”

She walked to the side and picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Are you done?” The man’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone. Xu Wanwan said faintly, “Well, I’m done, but Master asked me to stay for dinner.”

“By the way, Master invited you to join us. Are you coming?”

Li Jingran paused. “I’ll wait for you outside.”

Xu Wanwan curled her lips, thinking that he had rejected her. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Soon, the other end of the phone said, “Tell your Master that it’s my treat tonight.”

Xu Wanwan’s eyes were filled with surprise, but it was quickly extinguished. “But there are a lot of people here… maybe next time.”

Today was the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, and there were many Senior Brothers and Sisters in the art museum. If they were to give a treat, it would be bad if they weren’t invited. Li Jingran said in a low voice, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to help me invite them all.”

“Are you going to invite so many people for dinner?!” Xu Wanwan couldn’t help but raise her voice.

“Of course,” Li Jingran said lightly, “Since they’re people around you, it’s not wrong to get to know them.”

Moreover, Xu Wanwan had already spent a lot of effort in helping the Li Corporation get design drawings. It was just a treat, so what was the big deal?

“Then I’ll go ask Master.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wanwan’s lips curled up slightly. “Master, my family said that he’s treating us to a meal tonight. They want to invite you and our Senior Brothers and Sisters to have dinner together.”

“Your family wants to treat all of us to a meal?” Master Nanshan was overjoyed. He had never seen such a scene before. ^I‘Then has he booked a place?”

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. “Probably… not yet.”

She had just hung up the phone and only knew that she was going to invite her master and the others, but she forgot to ask him where the address was.

Zhou Lin crossed her arms and snorted coldly. “The reservation hasn’t been made yet, so don’t make such a joke.”

Xu Wanwan was a little angry and looked at her unhappily.

Li Jingran was not a very stingy person. He had promised to treat them to a meal, so how could he go back on his word.

“Master, my family is waiting for me outside,” Xu Wanwan suddenly thought of something. “I’ll go out and ask for the address first. I’ll send it to you directly later.”

Master Nanshan did not like to show his face in public, but he was curious about Xu Wanwan’s family background and history, so he agreed.

Xu Wanwan also invited her Senior Brothers and Sisters one by one. Although their expressions did not look good, they all agreed.

After all, they all wanted to know how powerful Xu Wanwan’s family background was since their Master could make an exception time and time again.

After Xu Wanwan finished her task, she quickly walked out. As soon as she walked out of the art gallery, she saw a man with an extraordinary aura arriving in a black sedan.

He was wearing a formal custom-made suit, looking cool as he held a bunch of flowers in his hand while leaning against the side of the car leisurely as he waited.

When he saw Xu Wanwan walking out, he strode up to her and handed her the flowers in his hand.

Xu Wanwan was stunned. “This is?”

“Today is your big day of becoming an apprentice to a master. Isn’t it worth celebrating?”

The man held a bouquet of pink and white Baby’s Breath in his hand. When the breeze blew, the bouquet of flowers swayed. It was very beautiful.

Xu Wanwan happily accepted it. “Thank you!”

She held the bouquet and felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

“This is the first time I’ve received flowers. I like them very much!”

Li Jingran looked at the lady lovingly. “Then I’ll send them to you often in the future.”

Wasn’t it just a bunch of flowers? As long as it could make her happy, she was willing to send them every day.

Xu Wanwan held the bouquet and smiled sweetly. “Oh right, Master has agreed to have dinner with us tonight. Have you made a reservation?” “The address is at Night Sky Hotel.”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Then I’ll send it to them.”.
