Chapter 34: Hidden Master

Ouyang Shasha was choked. The three words “Boss Lady” really made her angry!

However, she sneered inwardly: A woman about to get divorced, what’s there to be proud of!

“Of course, President Lu spoils you so much, a dress is nothing to him.” Sheng Jiaer chimed in with a smile.

Seeing the topic had been diverted, Ouyang Shasha stretched her neck to look around, pretending to be nonchalant as she asked:

“By the way, where’s Ating? Why isn’t he here with you?”

Su Yiren naturally wouldn’t tell her the reason, nor did she bother to answer her pointless question. She just discussed the auction with the other two.

Ouyang Shasha found that Su Yiren didn’t want to talk to her, and secretly rolled her eyes.

“What is Mrs. Lu going to auction tonight?” Qian Yueyue asked.

Su Yiren didn’t hide it, smiling as she replied:

“A painting.”

“Whose work is it?”

Su Yiren hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

“Bu Yu.”

Qian Yueyue and Ouyang Shasha looked at each other, seemingly unfamiliar with the name, but Sheng Jiaer exclaimed:

“The Bu Yu who won international awards at the age of six or seven?”

Ouyang Shasha asked sarcastically:

“Is this person famous?”

Sheng Jia’er: “Of course! Her ‘Girl Praying’ was sold for a sky-high price abroad! She herself is known as a rising star in the art world!”

Su Yiren felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She really didn’t expect Sheng Jiaer to be familiar with this field.

“But…” Sheng Jiaer was puzzled,

“I heard that her paintings are rarely sold, there are only a few on the market. Once a new work appears, it will be madly bid for by many people. The painting in Mrs. Lu’s hands must have cost a lot of money, right? Why are you willing to auction it?”

Su Yiren smiled, modestly and humbly,

“It’s all for charity.”

All the proceeds from tonight’s auction would be used for charitable causes, so it was normal for Su Yiren to say so.

Sheng Jiaer and Qian Yueyue praised her for being kind and generous, but Ouyang Shasha thoughtfully asked:

“Yiren, where did you buy this painting?”

“Through an acquaintance.” Su Yiren casually made up an excuse.

“I didn’t know you had such connections! Introduce me next time, I’d love to buy one too!”

Su Yiren heard the doubt and sarcasm in her tone, and smiled faintly,

“Why bother? You can just bid a little more at the auction later.”

“Right! It’s a painting by Bu Yu! It has extremely high collection value! Even if you resell it, you’ll make a fortune! Sasa, if you want it, you must bid for it later!” Sheng Jia’er, not wanting to miss out on the fun, kept urging her, then sighed regretfully,

“Oh, if my brother didn’t control my spending, I’d want to buy it home to show off!”

Ouyang Shasha didn’t expect Su Yiren to react so quickly, but the words were already out, and she couldn’t take them back. She could only twitch her lips, thinking disdainfully:

It’s just a small painter, how expensive can a painting be? Can it be more expensive than “Bu Chi”?

Qian Yueyue looked at one and then the other, asking in confusion:

“Is this person really that good?”

“Of course!” Sheng Jiaer nodded repeatedly,

“By the way, do you know the painter ‘Bu Chi’?”

“I know this one!” Qian Yueyue exclaimed:

“It was on the news a while ago, saying that a painting was sold for eight figures!”

Sheng Jia’er’s eyes were filled with admiration:

“Yeah, yeah, let me tell you… this ‘Bu Chi’ is ‘Bu Yu’s’ junior brother.”

Qian Yueyue was shocked.

Ouyang Shasha also frowned.

She knew that “Bu Chi’s” paintings were expensive. Before, in order to please Lu Yunting’s mother, she gritted her teeth and bought one for her.

However, that painting only cost a little over a million, and it was said to be a work that “Bu Chi” himself was not very satisfied with.

But what did it matter? Even if he wasn’t satisfied, it could still be sold for a high price on the market.

Many people don’t buy paintings for appreciation, they just want to appear cultured, mostly because of his fame.

And it’s rare to find one.

How many buyers truly understand paintings and appreciate them?

Although Ouyang Shasha understood this, she felt a little uneasy.

If Bu Chi’s paintings could be sold for eight figures, wouldn’t Bu Yu’s be sold for a sky-high price?

She suddenly started to feel the pain in her wallet, unsure whether she should spend such a large sum of money to save face.

Just as she was pondering, she heard a gentle male voice behind her,

“What are you three talking about?”

The three turned their heads and saw two young men standing behind them. The one on the left had a cold face, never smiling, standing there in a suit, exuding a powerful aura that made people dare not approach;

It was Lu Yunting.

Compared to him, the one on the right was instantly more approachable.

He was about the same height as Lu Yunting, seemingly a little older, wearing a custom-made suit, every move exuding elegance.

“Brother! You’re here!” Sheng Jiaer immediately walked over and took Sheng Tianhao’s arm, coquettishly saying,

“We’re just talking about what treasures will be at the auction later! You have to give me some money!”

Sheng Tianhao pinched Sheng Jia’er’s nose, “Don’t spend money recklessly.”

Sheng Jiaer made a sad face, “But there’s a work by the painter ‘Bu Yu’ today! You know I love his paintings!”

“Really?” Sheng Tianhao was also taken aback.

“Of course it’s true!” Sheng Jiaer pointed at Su Yiren,

“Mrs. Lu brought it, saying she’s going to auction it! Brother~ if you don’t give me money, this painting might not be bought by me! Sasa wants it too!”

In just a few words, she explained everything that had just happened.

Lu Yunting looked at Su Yiren with deep eyes, his lips slightly pursed.

He had already discovered when he was looking at the paintings this morning that all the signatures were “Bu Yu”.

After knowing her for so many years, this was the first time he knew she could paint, the first time he saw these paintings, and he had just learned:

Su Yiren was the mysterious genius painter, Bu Yu, who was sought after by both domestic and international audiences at a young age.

CEO of Su Corporation, designer Susan, painter Bu Yu…

Lu Yunting was surprised, but also found it funny:

She’s really a hidden master!

Su Yiren smiled as she listened to their conversation, suddenly noticing Lu Yunting’s gaze.

She glanced at him casually, then looked away, as if she didn’t know him, not wanting to talk to him at all!

It was Ouyang Shasha, upon seeing Lu Yunting, who immediately went up to him and said softly:

“Ating~ why are you just coming now? I was just talking to Yiren about that painting!”

Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly had an idea, saying with a sweet voice:

“I heard that painter is very famous~ I didn’t know before! If I could buy it, that would be great~ but it must be very expensive.”

Su Yiren secretly sneered, this is a hint for Lu Yunting to bid for her, isn’t it?

She felt a little disgusted, and just happened to see a familiar face not far away, so she used the opportunity to greet them and leave.

Lu Yunting put one hand in his pocket, his gaze fixed on Su Yiren’s slender back, his eyes slightly dimmed.

She didn’t even wear the dress he gave her…

Lu Yunting’s face showed a hint of displeasure, and even his tone wasn’t so friendly.

“Since it’s so expensive, don’t buy it.”

He was ruthless in his retort, even to Ouyang Shasha,

“You didn’t even hear about it before anyway.”
