Chapter 749: Lu Yunxiao’s Peach Blossom Luck

Among the crowd, the painting enthusiasts and the bosses were walking over to the gallery at the front, while the scheming reporters walked behind them.

They originally thought that since so many people came uninvited, Zi Yi would not stop them coming in, seeing that it was the opening day of the art gallery.

However, when the confident crowd walked to the entrance, they saw that the people receiving the guests at the door were the Lu Family siblings, Country M’s count successor Ian and a few other younger generations of the Dou Family.

Instantly, the crowd lost their confidence.

Lu Jingye took a step forward out of courtesy and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, today is the opening day of my wife’s art gallery. Not many people were invited and you can only enter if you have an invitation.”

Having said that, he gracefully made a gesture of asking them to head in.

The Second Young Master Lu from the capital was a true gentleman and a graceful person. After he made the gesture, everyone only felt that they had been treated politely and all the more so, they did not dare to cause trouble.

Just then, Lu Yunxiao came out and stood next to Lu Jingye.

Lu Yunxiao resembled Lu Jingye a lot, appearance wise, but the aura he gave out was entirely different compared to Lu Jingye.

The moment he stepped forward, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

The crowd found themselves shivering for no reason.

Sometime later, one of the painting enthusiasts said, “Second Young Master Lu, Third Young Master Lu, we heard that Boss Zi’s gallery is opening today and we are here to congratulate her… We are all painting enthusiasts and I hope that you’ll be accommodating to us.”

Another person immediately added. “We promise that we will strictly abide by the rules of the gallery and see only what we are allowed to. We will never look at what we aren’t allowed to look at.”

“Yes, that’s right. We won’t disturb the masters appreciating the paintings either and we guarantee we won’t make a single sound.”

Quite a few of them followed suit.

Ian walked over to Lu Jingye and asked quietly, “Lu, are we letting these people inside?”

Lu Jingye said firmly, “No.”

He then said to the crowd, “The art gallery will officially hold an art exhibition next year. Today is only the opening exhibition. Since my wife and her cousin have only invited a small group of individuals, we will only receive those that are invited.”

Having said that, he then added. “Everyone, please return.”

How could the crowd be willing to go just like that? However, they did not dare to force their way in either. Since Lu Jingye won’t let them in, they would just stand outside the entrance and refuse to leave.

The reporters who were standing behind the crowd secretly snapped some photos and uploaded them onto the internet.

[Future Gallery opened an art exhibition today for its opening day and many individuals came to send their congratulations. However, they did not have invitations and were not allowed inside.]

[The people welcoming the guests for Future Gallery are the two young masters of the Lu Family!]

[The people the Future Gallery invited as guests are all masters of the Painting and Calligraphy Association in the capital. Would the masters donate their paintings to the art gallery?]

[Future Gallery opening day: Miss Zi is the rising star in the Painting and Calligraphy world. How many of her paintings will she take out to display at the art exhibition?]

…

Many people would surf the internet during winter vacation and besides, the reporters who came today were from all walks of life and so, all the websites had been reporting about this incident. Soon, the whole internet knew that today was Zi Yi’s [Future Gallery] opening day.

The comments of the local netizens were all harmonious. After all, Zi Yi had conquered everyone with her skills.

However, the international and national netizens, who were reading the articles, had reacted differently.

Many people felt that [Future Gallery] was purposely showing off. There were also many who claimed that Zi Yi was being arrogant based on her status as the Lu Family’s Second Young Madam.

There were even some who started attacking the name of the art gallery.

“To think that someone would name their art gallery with such a non-artistic name? Are the Painting and Calligraphy circles of the capital starting to decline?”

“Why don’t you see who’s the boss of that art gallery? It’s the internet celebrity of the capital. She’s also a young madam from a rich family. If she wants to open an art gallery, it’s just a matter of words.”

“Even from before, I’ve felt that the capital is trying to package her. A woman who just reached eighteen years of age, what kind of art could she possibly create? Perhaps some other master had completed the art on her behalf.”

“It can’t be helped. She still needs to be packaged. Otherwise, how would she be worthy of the status as a wealthy family’s young madam?!”

…

Just then, Joseph, a famous oil painter in Country Y, had just finished painting and was about to rest. He surfed the net before he left his studio and saw many reports related to [Future Gallery].

After he finished reading through the articles, he scoffed. “It’s just someone who is slightly talented and yet she’s already been packaged to such an extent? The Painting and Calligraphy circle in the capital is declining with every generation.”

Having said that, he started a new post.

[Painting is sacred. Please don’t randomly push someone who can slightly draw into the spotlight. @CapitalZi, young lady, I advise you to keep a low profile.]

Joseph wrote a rather long article to criticize Zi Yi.

He was originally planning to upload the post right away but because he had been painting for a few consecutive days, he was rather exhausted and accidentally pressed the wrong button. The post would only be uploaded six hours later.

After he was done, Joseph went back to sleep.

…

[Future Gallery]

Everyone had no idea what comments were being made about [Future Gallery] on the internet. The guests Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling had invited were also arriving one after another.

Gu Xin followed Elder Gu and alighted from the car. Looking at the rows of people in the crowd outside the art gallery, Gu Xin said in surprise, “Grandfather, look. There are so many people here, but why don’t they go inside?”

Elder Gu understood the situation from a single glance. “I heard Little Dou mention that not many people were invited to today’s opening. Therefore, these people most likely came uninvited.”

Gu Xin studied abroad and only returned just in time for the New Year’s holiday. She was also very fond of painting because of the influence of her grandfather. After hearing what her grandfather said, she nodded her head in understanding.

The two of them headed to the art gallery together.

The group of people had left a path for those invited guests to walk along so they could enter the art gallery unobstructed. When everyone saw Elder Gu walking over, many people started greeting him.

The reporters wanted to ask him questions but Elder Gu maintained a cold appearance before the outsiders. Gu Xin took out the invitation card and the two of them immediately went to where the Lu Brothers were.

Gu Xin passed the invitation to Lu Jingye but her eyes were looking at Lu Yunxiao. Her face had also turned red for no apparent reason.

Lu Jingye looked at the invitation and made a gesture for them to enter. “Elder Gu, Miss Gu, please enter.”

Elder Gu nodded his head and brought Gu Xin inside.

Before Gu Xin went in, she even looked back and glanced at Lu Yunxiao.

Before the Dou Family came over to receive them, Gu Xin acted coyly and said with a shy voice, “Grandfather, that guy earlier must be the Third Young Master Lu? He looks so cold.”

And cool!

Gu Xin did not say the last two words out loud. However, her face had turned red after that.

The moment Elder Gu saw his granddaughter’s reaction, how could he not know her thoughts? “I heard that the work he does is very dangerous. He’s not suitable for you.”

As her grandfather, he would definitely hope that his granddaughter could marry a stable man and happily spend her whole life with him. He felt that Lu Yunxiao was not her Mr. Right.

Gu Xin, however, did not think so. In her opinion, the more indifferent one appeared on the surface, the more aggressive they would be deep down inside. The moment someone like that falls for a person, they will definitely spoil that woman dearly.

However, she did not refute her grandfather’s words publicly, she planned to privately get in touch with Lu Yunxiao later.
