Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

"It's not a coincidence at all," Tong Huaimu said the exact opposite of what he thought, showing a completely uninterested attitude, "You're such a grown-up and still lying, who wants to be in tune with you?"

He walked into the living room.

Sitting on the sofa and drinking some water to quench my thirst, I asked with great interest, "What secret things are you doing that you didn't answer my call?"

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You have to ask your dad."

The laughter reached the ears of Tong Ruixiao who was walking down the stairs, causing his body to stiffen and his throat to tighten.

The chest that was scratched by the paintbrush began to burn again.

It's like a fire has been buried. Even though it has been extinguished on the surface, it will reignite at the slightest disturbance.

He glanced at his watch and decided that it was time to head to the restaurant.

Can……

The rose that looked like a tattoo had not been wiped off yet.

After hesitating for a moment, he went back to change into formal clothes.

……

Jianghuayuan is located in the wealthy area in the south of Jiangcheng. It is an independent villa-style restaurant with a retro and elegant interior decoration. Next to the main entrance is an auction stone worth hundreds of millions of yuan, engraved with the name of the restaurant.

After they entered the door and showed their reservation number, a male waiter in a Zhongshan suit invited them in.

What catches your eye is the wood carving hanging in the lobby, on which are the words of a famous calligrapher. The powerful brushstrokes give people a sense of majestic momentum.

The beams and pillars on all four sides are decorated with ancient characters with gold-plated patterns, some of which are poems from different dynasties, and some are sacrificial terms, making people feel as if they have crossed the ages in an instant and connected with the spirit of the ancients.

The walls are decorated with a collection of famous paintings, with each painting costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and both sides of the corridor are also filled with paintings on display.

This is enough to show that the owner of Jianghuayuan is extremely rich and luxurious.

Jian Yan admired it and was amazed in his heart.

There are many people who spend a lot of money to collect famous paintings and calligraphy, but there are very few who are willing to do simple protection and then exhibit them for countless people to appreciate without worrying about them being damaged.

All I can say is that he is rich and generous.

"These calligraphy and paintings are very distinctive. They are not limited to famous works known to the public, but also include works by lesser-known painters... The aesthetic taste of those who collect these works is very high and special."

After listening to Jian Yan's sincere appreciation of the paintings, the young man beside him lost interest and yawned, "I feel that these paintings are no different from the paintings I usually see in auction houses."

Tong Ruixiao pondered, "Everyone's feelings when seeing the same object will not be exactly the same, at most they are similar, not to mention something as delicate as calligraphy and painting."

She raised an eyebrow, "What does Mr. Tong think?"

"I think these works are all very good, and the people who collect them can be called 'unique aesthetics', but not 'high'."

After hearing this, Jian Yan did not refute him to prove that his point of view was correct, but smiled slightly.

"Appreciation and taste are based on the individual, so it is normal for different people to have different ideas."

"I think the owner of the collection has a high aesthetic taste because I can find commonalities among these works and feel what the other person appreciates about the collection."

He was all ears. "I'd like to hear more."

"There are hundreds of calligraphy and paintings here, and the common characteristics of the characters are loneliness and silence, just like an old man who can feel the weight of life and the helplessness of things not going as planned."

“But you see, the unifying point of this painting is its unruliness and wildness. Like weeds, it has a tenacious and almost barbaric vitality.”

"How can a person have the feeling of old age and the wildness of youth?"

She sighed: "It's as if I have already seen through the existence and extinction of life, and I am seriously grasping every moment, growing wildly and persistently..."

"So I think this must be a person with a very high and unique aesthetic vision."

Tong Ruixiao was convinced by her.

He has never been interested in things that cultivate sentiment, and has done even less research on calligraphy and painting. He believes that it cannot be converted into cash and is a waste of time, so he might as well keep an eye on the stock market.

But since she came home, he also listened to her and learned a lot of things beyond his scope of knowledge.

It doesn't seem so boring anymore.

Just as Jian Yan finished speaking, she felt someone walking behind her with a strong aura.

Glancing back, I saw only a delicate and pretty figure.

The long brown hair like silk was curled into big waves and draped over the shoulders. The burgundy suit jacket and trousers made her figure look tall and straight, and the high-end white high heels on her feet reflected a little pearl.

As I walked past, a breeze came up, and the faint, cool and sweet fragrance of the moon came into my nose.

You can feel the other person's temperament just by looking at their back.

It's a quick glimpse, very attractive.

Jian Yan retracted her gaze and found that Tong Ruixiao had been looking at her. She touched her cheek strangely, and there was nothing wrong. "What's wrong?"

As he walked, he asked, "Look what you saw just now? Your eyes are bright."

"A lady of great temperament."

She thought for a moment, “Can many people come to this restaurant?”

"As far as I know, there are only 20 tables a day during the noon and evening hours."

She nodded, "That's not much."

After the three people finished the tour, they returned to the best position.

This restaurant does not have partitions, but has long-distance curved leather booths in a Chinese retro style, which is simple yet elegant.

After all the food was served, she found that most of it was Western style. Tong Ruixiao actually ate Western food that she had never been used to before.

“The medium rare steak tastes good.”

When she ate with Si Yanchen before, she always ordered it according to his preference, medium rare. In fact, it was not very delicious, and she personally could not appreciate that taste.

But love the house and love the dog.

Now that I’m single, I find that the freedom to eat whatever I like is the most important thing.

Tong Huaimu cut the steak and said, "I think well done is also good. Grilled meat is so fragrant."

"But I didn't expect that we came to a Chinese restaurant to eat Western food."

She smiled, "The main theme is something different?"

"It's indeed different." He looked around and saw that the tables in the distance were all eating the restaurant's specialties instead of directly ordering Western food.

Tong Ruixiao ate a piece of salmon with mustard, which was a bit too spicy. He has always been unable to accept the dining style of foreign countries. "It's just that the service location is different, the content is basically the same."

"makes sense."

The boy thought: That's true, everywhere is about serving and being served. As long as this restaurant provides Western food, even if it is themed on Chinese painting art, there is nothing wrong with eating Western food.

Jian Yan likes the yogurt in this restaurant, which is added with avocado. It is delicate and smooth, and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

At this time, Tong Ruixiao received a call from Assistant Li and got up to answer it in an empty place.

She and Xiao Mu talked about the upcoming final exams while eating.

"So, your friend might be transferred to Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School?"

"Zhao Qiang ranked first in the mock test again. I met him today and he said that the principal called him directly and invited him to join the school as a special student."
