Chapter 403 Master Changyuan
Sitting in the car, Gu Nian looked at Si Yejue and asked, "Will your grandfather be angry when knowing we make our relationship public?"
Si Yejue started the car and said, "Take it easy. He can't stop our love."
Then he turned to look at Gu Nian and continued, "My grandpa may not deny you. You are my girlfriend and you are excellent."
Excellent people would definitely be recognized by others.
He believed that his grandfather would accept Gu Nian as his girlfriend.
Gu Nian asked him, "What does your grandfather like? I should prepare some gifts for him after all it's my first formal visit to him."
Si Yejue originally wanted to tell her that it was no need to do that, but then he thought it would be a good opportunity for her to gain favor of his grandfather if she prepared some gifts.
No matter what the elders' attitude was, the younger generation were supposed to be polite to them as long as the elders didn't really break up with them.
Nobody would blame one for being too polite.
"Grandpa likes Gui Guzi At Night, the painting of Master Changyuan."
Gu Nian was stunned, asking, "Master Changyuan? Gui Guzi At Night?"
Si Yejue took a glance at her and replied, "Yep. Master Changyuan is a great master in traditional painting. Grandpa has collected a lot of his works, but Gui Guzi At Night is not for sale. It's a pity for my grandpa."
Si Yejue was afraid that Gu Nian hadn't heard of the painting, so he explained to her, "Gui Guzi At Night is very artistic, showing the connection between day and night..."
Gu Nian listened to him quietly and heard his respect for Master Changyuan in his words.
"In short, the paintings of Master Changyuan are invaluable."
Gu Nian said calmly, "I have Gui Guzi At Night."
Si Yejue was stunned, "What?"
Gu Nian looked at Si Yejue and replied, "I have the painting. Let's go back to my house and get it first."
Then she added, "I should have asked you about what your grandfather likes earlier, so that I could make your grandfather satisfied with me earlier."
By doing that, she might have already been accepted by his grandfather.
Si Yejue couldn't believe it, asking, "Do you really have the painting? Where did you get it?"
Gu Nian responded, "I painted it."
Si Yejue couldn't help laughing and asked, "Grandpa likes Master Changyuan's paintings very much, and he is good at appreciating them. Are you going to give him a fake painting?"
Gu Nian looked at Si Yejue in puzzlement, "I painted it. How can it be a fake painting?"
Si Yejue completely misunderstood her meaning and thought she deemed all the paintings that were painted not fake.
"Okay, let's go back to your house and take it."
His grandpa might not blame her since she did that out of kindness.
Si Yejue drove the car back to the Gu's house.
Gu Nian got out of the car and went upstairs to get the painting.
That painting was casually placed by her in the blue and white porcelain vase that was put on the floor in the room long ago.
She picked up the painting and went downstairs.
Seeing her get downstairs with a scroll in her arms so quickly, Si Yejue asked in surprise, "You really painted it?"
He thought she was going to improvise.
Gu Nian fastened her seat belt and replied, "Yep. Let's go. I can't wait to visit your grandfather."
She placed the scroll in front of Si Yejue, asking, "Would you like to have a look?"
She drew it but thought it was too ugly, so she kept it not for sale.
Unexpectedly, the elderly Mr. Si's taste was so bad that he wanted the ugly painting.
Si Yejue started the car, saying, "No. Let's hurry home."
Gu Nian narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Is the evidence ready to reveal Butler Cao?"
When it came to that, Si Yejue's voice became cold, "Totally ready."
He thought Butler Cao was loyal to his grandfather, but he didn't expect him to be a betrayer.
He must deal with Butler Cao this time!
In the Si's house.
After making everything arranged well, Butler Cao said to the elderly Mr. Si, "Sir, Gu Nian is coming. Do you want to invite more people here?"
The elderly Mr. Si didn't raise his head and just said, "No, it's no need to do that."
Butler Cao said, "It's necessary to test her resilience in other areas although she won. Besides, it should be more solemn to show your focus on her because it's her first visit to you."
Then he added, "Then she will have no excuse to say that the Si family don't pay attention to her and to blacken the reputation of the Si family."
After hearing his words, the elderly Mr. Si looked at Butler Cao with some suspicion in his eyes.
Butler Cao continued without any anxiety, "It's not good if she's too petty and doesn't have the demeanor of being the hostess of the Si family in the future, right?"
After thinking about it for a while, the elderly Mr. Si ordered, "Well, you go invite more people. Since it's her first visit to me, it's better to welcome her in a grand manner to show my focus on her."
Butler Cao said yes, and then asked, "Zhuo Ya said in the morning that she would come here. Do you think she should come here another day?"
Zhuo Ya said that in the morning.
After a short thought, the elderly Mr. Si said, "Let Zhuo Ya come here today. I'll clarify the matter between her and Yejue by the way."
Si Yejue's engagement with Zhuo Ya was just a wishful verbal contract of the elders.
Si Yejue had been refusing it since he knew it.
Since Si Yejue wanted to be with Gu Nian, the elderly Mr. Si could only let Zhuo Ya come here and make it clear in public in order to avoid a rift between the two families.
Butler Cao lowered his head and went down to make phone calls to invite some more people.
Many people had already been astonished since Si Yejue took a photo with Gu Nian and said she was his girlfriend.
All people of the upper class knew who Si Yejue was although the others did not know him.
They were very curious about who his girlfriend was.
After receiving a call from Butler Cao, they quickly stopped their work and went to the Si's house.
Seeing that his relatives, friends and some partners showed up, the elderly Mr. Si couldn't help frowning.
It could be a dinner party.
"Mr. Si, when did Yejue fall in love? It is really an unexpected announcement."
"Is Gu Nian the only daughter of the Gu family? She doesn't seem to have a good reputation. Do you really want her to be Yejue's girlfriend?"
"It's widely known that Gu Nian once broke off her engagement with someone. Although she didn't get married, she did have an engagement. I think..."
The elderly Mr. Si interrupted in a deep voice after hearing those bad words, "Enough. You haven't seen her yet. Be a little kind to her, please."
"Yejue has always had a good taste. The girl he likes must be good."
" Yejue is going to come back in a while. Stop saying those bad words, or he'll be unhappy."
The elderly Mr. Si didn't like others talking about Gu Nian like that.
It was not because that he wanted to protect her, but because he knew that it was Si Yejue who announced their relationship.
Therefore, saying that Gu Nian was not good was equal to saying that Si Yejue had a bad taste and that the Si family was not good.
That was the same as saying that the Si family was a joke.
He didn't like Gu Nian, but he also didn't like that outsiders came to kid the Si family by belittling Gu Nian.
Seeing that the elderly Mr. Si was a little angry, the others quickly changed the subject.
The sound of the car's engine rang outside.
Butler Cao came in and said to the elderly Mr. Si, "Sir, Miss Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo are here."
The elderly Mr. Si raised his head and saw that Zhuo Ya, who had wavy hair and dressed well, looking very bright, came in with Mrs. Zhuo."
"Grandpa Si."
Zhuo Ya walked in and greeted sweetly, "Grandpa Si, I haven't seen you for a year. You look much younger. I miss you so much."
Hearing her words, the unhappiness of the elderly Mr. Si disappeared a little.
He praised, "You've been more beautiful and charming since I saw you a year ago."
Zhuo Ya was a little shy after hearing his praise, and asked in a resentful voice, "Grandpa Si, did you mean I was not beautiful and charming before?"
Mrs. Zhuo said quickly, "Ya, come on. Stop kidding. Give Gui Guzi At Night to your Grandpa Si. He'll be very happy."
