Chapter 256 - His Enigmatic Identity
Chapter 256: His Enigmatic Identity
Once the man spoke, his cold voice immediately silenced the chaotic scene.
The women in the room, including the nearly 70-year-old Matriarch, couldn’t help but gasp.
This man’s aura was too strong. His voice was too domineering. His figure… was too sexy!
Even Gu Yuanyuan, who had been beaten to the ground and was sobbing, endured the intense pain. She crawled up and looked at him intently.
Old Master Gu frowned slightly. “You are…?”
Why didn’t he remember that he had an appointment with someone?
Who was this man? Why didn’t he have any impression of him?
At this moment, Gu Qiqi stood beside Old Master Gu. Her small heart was beating rapidly!
The moment Gong Jue opened the door and entered, her heart nearly jumped out of her throat.
Indeed, this man with erectile dysfunction had no patience.
He had been waiting for her outside the door all this while. Was he finally tired of waiting?
But… But if he barged in so forcefully, how was she going to explain their relationship?
Those “old men will take care of her” news on the Internet were just groundless rumors. Gu Meifeng and her daughter had already spread it everywhere. They even made Grandma not hesitate to invite the family laws to punish her.
If they caught her on the spot for bringing this strange man home and found out that Gong Jue was here for her, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself!
She was so worried about Gong Jue’s next words. What if he answered that he was her man?
According to the man with erectile dysfunction’s simple and crude temper, this was highly possible.
Gu Qiqi’s big black grape-like eyes stared fixedly at Gong Jue. Silently, she revealed a slight pleading look.
Please, please!
Can you go out first?
I can solve it myself, really!
Gong Jue’s deep gaze swept past her coolly.
Then…
Without any hesitation, he sat down on the armchair opposite Old Master Gu!
His thin lips said coldly, “I’m…”
Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat.
She had never felt that Gong Jue’s presence was so strong.
That tall and sturdy figure nearly made the entire study room appear cramped.
He was clearly wearing sunglasses, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through the black lenses. He was clearly sitting, but he looked even more condescending than the women standing in a row!
She closed her eyes.
Forget it. Gong Jue liked to declare ownership.
If he wanted to say it, then say it.
At most, she would never return to the Gu family again in the future. Those people from the Gu family would love to defame her however they wanted. They would love to spread rumors that she was a kept woman. They would just ignore her and not be annoyed anymore…
However…
In the very next second!
Gong Jue’s cold voice made her eyelids flutter!
“I’m here to deliver the painting that the Old Master wants. Why? Everyone doesn’t seem to welcome me?” After Gong Jue finished speaking, his long and slender fingers unfolded a thin piece of silk in his hand.
A painting of mountains and rivers slowly appeared in front of everyone.
With just a few strokes, the mood was profound.
The old man only took a look at it before his stern face lit up with pleasant surprise. “This is… that painting by Ms. Songsong?”
The painting was of a man who was fishing alone in the cold river.
She was the most famous female painter in the Empire for more than twenty years. Ms. Songsong’s new work was very popular and had just been put on display at an art exhibition in Paris.
How many people spent a lot of money to buy it? The price was already 200 million dollars. But Ms. Song smiled and said that this painting was only for admiration and not for sale.
Old Master Gu had once commented on this painting and praised it to his students. He had also praised the profound concept that this painting expressed about scholars not going with the flow and changing because of power.
But he never expected that the original work of this painting would be sent to his study room.
“My mother asked me to send it over.” Gong Jue handed the painting to Old Master Gu. “Old Master Gu is upright and honest. He’s otherworldly and is suitable for the mood of this painting.”
Old Master Gu was shocked once more.
This was Ms. Songsong’s son?
Old Madam Gu was even more shocked.
She didn’t know much about paintings, but she knew that Ms. Songsong had two sons. This man had such a noble aura. Could he be that person from the presidential palace?
