Chapter 2761 Gu Jia's Test!
Of course, Wang Yue chose a route without cameras. He didn't want to leave himself with so much trouble because of his previous identity, so he had to deal with it cleanly.

As for his identity here, Wang Yue had already made preparations. After all, he was already very skilled at faking an identity, and all he needed was a computer to solve the problem perfectly.

After all, there are a large number of left-behind children everywhere, and many people don't get their ID cards until they take the college entrance exam or get married. As long as they do it discreetly enough, it's impossible to find out.

Moreover, in order to avoid attracting attention, Wang Yue wore a hat to hide his long hair, and his clothes were ordinary casual wear, the most ordinary kind.

But no matter how Wang Yue tried to hide it, his demeanor clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person.

Gu Jia waited for a while at the entrance of Junyue Mansion. When she saw Wang Yue walk out of the park, she immediately sensed that he was different from others. Although he was somewhat different from Wang Manni's description, she could still tell the difference.

So she quickly stepped forward and asked Wang Yue for confirmation, "Hello, you must be Mr. Wang? I'm Gu Jia, Wang Manni's friend. She's busy right now, so she asked me to come and pick you up and take you directly to her house."

Wang Yue gave a gentle smile and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Manni has already told me and sent me your photo, so it should be true."

As Wang Yue spoke, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, and showed Gu Jia his photos.

Gu Jia noticed that Wang Yue only had Wang Manni in his WeChat contacts. She was actually a little surprised, because even if someone had a bad reputation, they shouldn't only have one WeChat friend, right?

Could it be that they're hiding something from Manny?

Although Gu Jia was puzzled, she didn't show it on the surface. She gave Wang Yue a polite smile and said, "Manni is very thoughtful. Mr. Wang, please come with me! Manni bought a new house, which happened to be my neighbor's and was sold."

Wang Yue could tell that Gu Jia was suspicious of him, which led him to conclude that Wang Manni hadn't told Gu Jia he was a time traveler. He immediately came up with a solution and said with a smile, "Manni said that after so many years in Shanghai, she only knows you two as her best friends. I didn't really believe it at first, but seeing how enthusiastic you are today, it seems she has a pretty good eye."

Gu Jia felt she had been praised, but it seemed that Zhong Xiaoqin was her only close friend all these years, and she had only recently met Wang Manni. This just goes to show that friendships are all about fate; if the connection isn't there, you won't have many friends.

However, she had some doubts about Wang Yue, so she didn't want to talk to him about these things. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I've heard that your calligraphy and paintings are very good. I wonder if I'll have the chance to see them?"

Wang Yue knew that Gu Jia was definitely testing him, but he wasn't afraid at all, so he calmly said, "Since you're Manny's friend, prepare your brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I'll paint a picture for you with all my heart."

Seeing Wang Yue's confidence, Gu Jia realized that he might actually be quite good at calligraphy and painting. It seemed that Wang Manni hadn't met the wrong person this time; she had truly encountered someone from the calligraphy and painting circle.

The only thing to suspect now is whether Wang Yue has someone else around him, and whether he's trying to hide it from Manny.

Thinking this to herself, Gu Jia smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Wang. I heard that one of your paintings is worth 400 million. I will definitely frame it and hang it in the center of my living room as a family heirloom."

As they were talking, the elevator arrived upstairs. Zhong Xiaoqin, impatient, had kept the door open, holding her cat and looking outside. Hearing their conversation, she asked curiously, "What family heirloom? Let me see it too."

After letting Wang Yue into room 1202, Gu Jia smiled and said to Zhong Xiaoqin, "Manni's boyfriend is a master calligrapher. I'd like to ask him to paint a picture for me so it can be passed down as a family heirloom."

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard this, she thought the idea was so good that she was tempted.

It's important to know that while the price of calligraphy and painting is unpredictable, a well-painted piece increases in value the longer it's kept.

Thinking about the price, Zhong Xiaoqin felt embarrassed to ask Wang Yue for it. After all, it was their first meeting, and it would be impolite. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. I don't even have 400 yuan in my pocket, let alone 400 million."

Wang Yue didn't expect Zhong Xiaoqin to be so straightforward. At least she was better than Gu Jia, who was trying to gain something from the test. After all, he figured Wang Manni must have said that he was good at drawing, otherwise he couldn't explain where the money came from.

Even though Gu Jia knew how valuable Wang Yue's paintings were, she still brought it up under the guise of considering her friend's interests, which shows that Gu Jia really did have some hope of getting Wang Yue's calligraphy and paintings.

Of course, Gu Jia might give money, but she would definitely use it to give as gifts.

Wang Yue didn't want to be schemed against, nor did he want to disappoint Zhong Xiaoqin, a simple-minded person, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, you are Manny's friends, I can give you a painting of a lady for free, but you'll have to find your own brush, ink and paper, I don't have any prepared right now."

Upon hearing the title "Ladies' Portraits," Gu Jia knew that Wang Yue had seen through her thoughts. Feeling somewhat ashamed, she quickly said, "Mr. Wang is so generous, I can't be so stingy. I'll go buy a set and send it over right away."

Zhong Xiaoqin was about to offer to pay for the writing materials, but then she suddenly remembered that all her money was with Chen Yu, and she didn't know how to bring it up.

So, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Gu Gu, you pay for it first, and I'll pay you back half later."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's wronged look, Gu Jia said helplessly, "Alright, don't be so polite with me. Everyone knows you don't have any money in your pocket. You can't exactly go to Chen Yu for more, can you?"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the phone and called the company's purchasing department, asking them to help her purchase a set of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones and have them delivered by Flash Delivery.

Gu Jia acted swiftly. After hanging up the phone, she realized that she had been too hasty and immediately said with a smile, "I've already sent someone to buy them. We must get the two paintings before Manni comes back."

Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked at Wang Yue, only to meet his scrutinizing gaze.

She felt a little flustered and annoyed by the scrutinizing gaze. How could Wang Yue, who was clearly Wang Manni's boyfriend, look at her like that? It was really inappropriate.
