Chapter 343: Dream On!
Anya and the Sun brothers followed.
When Sun Tianhao walked up to Yang Lu, he stopped and said in dissatisfaction, “Yang Lu, aren’t you looking for a beating?”
With that, he left.
Yang Lu suddenly came back to her senses. She opened her mouth and started crying.
The person standing there was shocked.
Duanmu Zhixuan quickly asked, “Yang Lu, what’s wrong?”
Yang Lu covered her face and cried. “I didn’t want to say those words just now.”
Duanmu Zhixuan paused and looked at her strangely. She didn’t believe what she was saying at all. How could she suddenly go back on her word after saying it?
Duanmu Ze and Duanmu Rui, who were standing there, were also anxious. At this moment, things had already become a little unpleasant. If they didn’t divert everyone’s attention today, the Duanmu family’s banquet tonight would become a joke.
Duanmu Ze said in a commanding tone, “Zhixuan, go play the violin.”
“I…”
Duanmu Rui chimed in, “Zhixuan, don’t be willful.”
At this moment, the masters of the Duanmu family and the Sun family walked over. Duanmu Zhixuan’s body trembled and she quickly walked over.
After Chu Luo and the others sat on the sofa, Anya felt so cold from Li Yan’s cold aura that she didn’t dare to sit beside Chu Luo. She found an armchair and sat down. “Who was that person just now? Why was she so rude?”
“It’s Yang Lu from Minister XX’s family,” Sun Tianyang answered.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan and grabbed his large hand. “Someone controlled Yang Lu just now.”
When Anya and the Sun brothers heard this, they were stunned and their expressions turned ugly.
Sun Tianhao looked furious and was about to speak when Sun Tianyang reminded him, “The others are here.”
The masters who came over were all holding wine glasses. Second Master Sun asked in a puzzled tone, “What happened just now? I saw that Li Yan’s expression wasn’t very good.”
Sun Tianhao told her, “Someone asked Chu Luo to play the violin.”
Eldest Master Duanmu’s expression froze. He asked, “Who?”
“Yang Lu.”
The masters of the Duanmu family heaved a sigh of relief.
Second Master Sun was displeased. “What does that lass Yang Lu want?”
Eldest Master Duanmu replied, “It’s possible that Yang Lu was just joking.”
Then, he said to Li Yan, “Li Yan, many people are here today. Come with us and sit down with everyone to chat. Chu Luo has the protection of my children and the two brats from the Sun family. No one dares to bully her.”
Li Yan pursed his lips tightly and didn’t speak.
Chu Luo glanced at everyone and said to Li Yan, “I’ll play with Anya.”
Li Yan looked at her for a few seconds before saying, “If anyone continues to be blind and ask you to do something, you don’t have to stand on ceremony.”
Everyone: “…”
‘Master Li, is it a good idea for you to say that in front of everyone?’
Unexpectedly, Chu Luo agreed. “Okay.”
Li Yan then walked away with the group.
As soon as they left, the other youngsters gathered again.
At this moment, Yang Lu didn’t dare to speak or walk over. She couldn’t stand this feeling and simply turned to walk out.
Yang Lu originally wanted to come out to take a breather. Just as she walked to a tree, she heard a faint ringing in her ears. Then, her eyes closed and opened, and the glow in them had disappeared.
Then, a twisted smile appeared on her face as she turned and walked towards the door.
After she entered, she didn’t go to Chu Luo and the others immediately. Instead, she walked to the dance floor. After Duanmu Zhixuan finished playing a violin tune, she walked up to her with a perturbed and regretful expression and said,
“Zhixuan, I said something wrong just now and made Chu Luo unhappy. You know that if Chu Luo is unhappy, Brother Tianhao will be angry with me. Why don’t you help me?”
“How? You didn’t actually say anything wrong just now.”
“I think so too, but you saw it yourself. They’re all on Chu Luo’s side. I have to apologize to her, or Brother Tianhao will definitely ignore me.”
“Then go apologize.”
“There are too many people. There’s also Princess Anya beside Chu Luo. I’m afraid that she doesn’t even want to hear me apologize.”
“Then what do you think we should do?”
“Let everyone play outside. I’ll apologize to Chu Luo in private.”
Duanmu Zhixuan nodded and strode over.
After walking over, she said to everyone, “It’s boring for everyone to sit here. Big Brother, doesn’t our family have an attic specially used to collect painting and calligraphy? Why don’t we bring Princess Anya and Chu Luo to take a look?”
Chu Luo looked at Duanmu Zhixuan and then at Yang Lu, who was standing behind the crowd. The corners of her lips curled up. “Really? I want to take a look.”
Anya was also interested and immediately chimed in, “I want to take a look too.”
Since the two of them had spoken, everyone walked towards the back under the lead of the young masters and young mistresses of the Duanmu family.
The area in the right section of the Duanmu residence had been converted into art rooms. It was a two-story building and had a huge area.
As people of the upper-class society, they more or less knew a little about painting and calligraphy.
The moment everyone walked in, they were shocked by the various famous paintings inside.
“I didn’t expect the Duanmu family to have so many famous works!”
“There’s actually a painting by my favorite painter XX.”
“There’s also paintings by my favorite painter XX!”
…
Hearing everyone’s surprised voices, Duanmu Ze smiled and explained to everyone, “My deceased grandmother was an artist before. This art building was specially prepared for my grandmother. The various famous Chinese paintings inside were all found by my grandfather with great effort at that time.”
When everyone heard him say that, they thought of a beautiful love story.
Many of the women were touched.
“Grandpa Duanmu must love Grandma Duanmu very much.”
“It feels so romantic. If only I could find a man like that.”
…
Duanmu Ze smiled and continued, “Everyone can take a look as you please. The first floor is filled with famous paintings, and the second floor are filled with paintings created by my grandmother and grandfather.”
“Really? Then I want to see Grandpa Duanmu and Grandma Duanmu’s paintings first.”
Duanmu Ze asked Duanmu Rui and Duanmu Zhixuan to bring everyone up.
After most of them had gone to the second floor, Duanmu Ze said to Anya and Chu Luo, “Princess Anya and Chu Luo, feel free to see whatever you want.”
Anya pulled Chu Luo’s hand and said, “Chu, let’s go over there and take a look. It seems like there are all kinds of empire paintings over there. Most of the paintings here are of Western flowers. I’m tired of looking at them.”
Chu Luo glanced at her but didn’t say anything. She pulled her over.
The others also looked around casually. The two brothers from the Duanmu family and the Sun family followed behind them.
After looking at it for a while, Sun Tianhao muttered, “I think none of these paintings are as good as the one Chu Luo drew.”
Sun Tianyang nudged his arm, gesturing for him to restrain his straightforwardness.
Duanmu Tian smiled and said, “I also think the paintings here aren’t as good as Chu Luo’s.”
After saying that, he looked at Chu Luo with his glowing eyes and suggested, “We have top-notch ink and paper here. Is Chu Luo interested in painting on the spot?”
Duanmu Ze glanced at Duanmu Tian. Chu Luo’s paintings had already reached an astronomical price. It was an excellent idea to ask her to leave a painting at the Duanmu residence. He then echoed, “That’s right. Previously, after seeing Chu Luo’s paintings, he even said that if he had the chance, he wanted to ask Chu Luo for a painting.”
Before Chu Luo could speak, Sun Tianhao said straightforwardly, “Chu Luo’s painting has already been speculated to an astronomical price. Even if she wants to paint a painting, it won’t take her just an hour or two. If you ask her to paint at this time, how long will she have to paint?”
Chu Luo nodded. “Yes, there’s not enough time.”
After saying that, she didn’t say anything else and continued walking.
Princess Anya glanced at the Duanmu brothers and immediately followed Chu Luo.
Sun Tianhao looked at the two brothers of the Duanmu family and sneered. “Why can’t you change your Duanmu family’s habit of taking advantage of others? You asked Chu Luo to leave a painting behind? Ha! Dream on!”
The Duanmu brothers looked at him with unfriendly gazes.
Sun Tianhao flashed his muscular arms and iron fists at them and edged closer to them. He said in a low voice, “Do you know why we came to your family’s banquet today? It’s to prevent you from having designs on Chu Luo.”
After saying that, he turned around and caught up to Chu Luo.
The more restrained Sun Tianyang only said, “Tianhao is right.”
Then, he followed.
Duanmu Ze and Duanmu Tian glared at the two brothers walking over.
Duanmu Ze lowered his eyes slightly to conceal the thoughts in them.
Duanmu Tian gritted his teeth and muttered in a mocking tone, “That’s why our Duanmu family and the Sun family don’t usually interact. They are indeed from a martial family. They only have strength and no brains. I want to see if the Sun family can still be so arrogant after a while.”
Duanmu Ze quickly turned to look at him and warned, “There are some things that shouldn’t be said. Put them away.”
With that, he followed.
A sneer flashed across Duanmu Tian’s eyes. “I call the shots in our Duanmu residence. What can they do to me even if I say it?”
