Chapter 68 - Their Faces Hurt

Chapter 68: Their Faces Hurt

Everyone present was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
Rong Ruo’s shock was even greater than everyone else’s. She understood Master Ye well. Ever since she became his disciple, she had never seen Master Ye speak in such a humble tone like before, let alone to Su Ye, who was much younger than him?!
Master Ye did not feel that doing so would lower his status at all, and his face was calm.
Su Ye nodded slightly and handed the painting to Master Ye. She curled her lips lazily. He was still the same as he was in his youth. He was really a painting addict.
Master Ye took it carefully. He narrowed his eyes and looked at it keenly. There were some parts of the painting where the ink was not completely dry yet. He was afraid that he would smudge something, so his slightly aged fingertips carefully touched every corner of the painting. From time to time, exclamations could be heard from his mouth.
It had been forty years since he last saw such a clear and bright life force in a painting. It made his heart surge with excitement.
He looked at Su Ye in a slightly stunned manner. In that instant, it was as if a lifetime had passed. It was as if he was seeing his high-spirited master standing in front of him again.
The guests’ faces were filled with bafflement.
Wang Dongqing was unable to understand what Master Ye’s intention was. If it was not for Rong Ruo’s superb painting skills, he would suspect whether Master Ye knew how to paint or not.
After a strange silence, Master Ye suddenly opened his mouth, “Little girl, may I know which family’s daughter you are?”
Su Jinyang leisurely walked forward. His tone was relaxed and controlled. Although there was doubt in his heart, he did not reveal it, “Master Ye, this is my daughter, Su Ye. I wonder if there’s anything wrong with her painting?”
Xu Huanying, who was at the side, lowered her head and felt very embarrassed.
“Su Ye?” Master Ye was stunned. Although he didn’t dabble in the business circle, he had heard of the major families in the capital. He thought for a moment, and then came to a sudden realization.
The descendant of the Su family had the same name as his master.
Before his master died, she suffered a lot. In order to not upset himself, he rarely mentioned his master’s true identity to others.
His master was none other than the warlord who had dominated the business world forty years ago, Su Ye!
Everyone thought that bamboo was a beginner’s subject to draw in a traditional Chinese painting, but in fact, it was the most difficult thing to draw.
Su Ye must have inherited his master’s extraordinary talent!
Immediately after, Master Ye’s words shocked the entire crowd.
“Mr. Su, your daughter is amazing!”
Xu Huanying was stunned for a long time before she realized that Master Ye was not mocking her.
“Your daughter’s talent in painting is amazing. I wonder if you are willing to let your daughter take me as her teacher. In time, her achievements in Chinese painting will definitely be limitless!”
The more Master Ye spoke, the more excited he became. His eyes kept looking at Su Ye, and they were filled with unconcealed admiration.
At this moment, Rong Ruo was completely stunned. Her mind was filled with a roaring sound and turned blank.
Master Ye actually appreciated that ignorant and ridiculous Su Ye so much? And he was so eager to take her in as his disciple?
It had taken her mother years to get him to agree to be her teacher.
The entire banquet hall fell into silence. It was as if Master Ye’s voice was the only one left in the entire world.
No one could believe that Su Ye, who had been ridiculed by everyone just a second ago, was actually praised so much by Master Ye!
Master Ye’s words were like a slap to their faces.
Lu Wenbin leaned over to Bo Yunli’s ear and said in a pleasantly surprised tone, “I didn’t expect Miss Su’s painting to be so amazing. Grandfather Wang must have liked it very much, right?”
Bo Yunli shook the wine glass at his fingertips and looked into Su Ye’s eyes with a faint expression.
“Grandfather Wang doesn’t just like her painting…”
