Chapter 669 The Unsigned Painting
"Shen Liao is pretending to be crazy?"
When Gu Chaoxi asked this question, Zhou Zuoran laughed lightly, as if he was mocking him a little.
He looked at Gu Chaoxi, but did not answer her question immediately. He just pursed his lips.
After a long while, he smiled and shook his head.
"When did I say Shen Liao was a lunatic?"
The atmosphere solidified.
Gu Chaoxi's eyebrows seemed to become blurred in an instant. Yes, Zhou Zuoran never said that Shen Liao was a lunatic. The person who said this was Zhou Jie.
She took Zhou Jie's words so seriously that when she saw Shen Liao for the first time, she subconsciously saw Shen Liao from Zhou Jie's perspective.
But what if Shen Liao is actually normal?
This means that Shen Liao knows everything and everything he says is true.
"Were you really forced into this?"
Although it is a question, it is asked with an affirmative attitude.
Zhou Zuoran smiled at her, shook his head, and nodded after a moment.
He didn't say anything or answer, but just stood up from his chair.
After a moment, he turned his head and looked towards Du Yuzhao's closed wood carving shop: "Is it true? Does the result really matter?"
It seems that whether it is true or not is no longer important. What is important is that he really can’t paint anymore.
As for the process, who cares?
Just like many artists, or even people in other industries, such as athletes.
Do people care about their process? No, most people only care about their final results.
Whether the results are good or bad determines how others see you.
No matter how difficult the process is, as long as the result is not satisfactory, someone will find excuses to criticize you.
The only way to avoid being criticized is to escape this curse by getting a good result.
After that, Zhou Zuoran did not paint for a long time.
"Let's stop here for this matter. I don't want to answer similar questions anymore."
He lowered his head, his eyes clearly filled with unwillingness, but what else could he do but accept the result.
Gu Chaoxi stood up from the chair and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Okay." There seemed to be nothing else to say except agreeing.
Zhou Zuoran turned around, smiled at her, bowed slightly, and walked towards a nearby road with his drawing board in his arms.
Gu Chaoxi just stared at his departing back for a long while before sitting down on the chair again.
It was not until she was finally tired of sitting that she remembered to get up and go back to the cafe.
It's almost time for lunch.
While she was looking for Zhou Zuoran, Pei Yan and Qi Chuzhao went to the art museum for a stroll, but the result was not satisfactory.
Although I found out that the person who smashed the painting in the morning was indeed Shen Liao, I don’t know where to find her now.
It seemed that they never knew how to find Shen Liao in this dimension, and could only meet her in the art gallery.
"Did you ask clearly why you smashed the painting?"
Isn't there anyone among so many people who knows the inside story?
Gu Chaoxi was a little confused.
Pei Yan nodded. To be honest, when he and Qi Chuzhao went to investigate again, they didn't find anything useful.
However, after thinking about it, he looked up at Qi Chuzhao.
Coincidentally, Qi Chuzhao seemed to have thought of the same question.
The gaze became strange, and neither of them spoke.
Gu Chaoxi glanced back and forth between the two of them, pursed his lips and asked, "Is it something unspeakable?"
"That's not the case. It's just that when I think about it now, it feels a little strange."
Qi Chuzhao shook his head and looked at Pei Yan, indicating that it would be more appropriate for him to answer this question.
He did not refuse anymore. He turned to look at Gu Chaoxi and coughed lightly: "Regarding the painting that Shen Liao smashed, some people said that Shen Liao knew who painted it. However, that person did not clearly state the relationship between the painter and Shen Liao."
"So we speculate that the person who painted the picture was most likely Zhou Jie's brother, and the reason why the painting was not signed was probably because it was originally given to her as a private collection."
"But someone took her paintings away and gave them to the art museum for exhibition, which caused her to react violently."
Although these were inferences made by Pei Yan and Qi Chuzhao based on the information they heard in the art museum, Gu Chaoxi felt that they still made sense.
"Let's go eat first, if we can meet Shen Liao in the afternoon."
As Gu Chaoxi spoke, he was already preparing to go upstairs to the hotel cafeteria.
Besides, there is one thing that still bothers her now.
That is, why did Du Yuzhao not continue to operate the store after changing the lock?
Logically speaking, it does not affect his continued business.
And this happened after they left. When she saw the closed door, she became curious.
But she was still with Zhou Zuoran at the time, so it wasn't convenient for her to go around and ask around.
At this moment, my son went upstairs to eat, and he couldn't help thinking about what had just happened, so he became a little absent-minded.
Pei Yan nudged her with his elbow and asked her, and then she remembered to tell Pei Yan this.
Afterwards, both of them were a little confused: "Logically speaking, this won't affect the business of his woodcarving shop, and the activities of the art gallery haven't ended yet, right?"
"Did he go to the art museum?"
"No." Zhang Qingya's face was still a little pale, but after hearing Gu Chaoxi's words, she quickly shook her head.
"I was staring at the art gallery the whole morning, but Du Yuzhao didn't go there."
Because of Shen Nianbai's matter, she was a little listless today. In the morning, she almost always leaned on her seat and looked at the art gallery opposite.
There's really nothing else to do, so.
Gu Chaoxi nodded: "It seems that he went home, or maybe something else happened."
You know, they don't know where these characters from different planes live.
Therefore, they are not aware of what happens to the plane characters outside the locations they can reach.
Relying solely on speculation may not be accurate.
But in the morning, Zhou Zuoran stayed with Gu Chaoxi and sat on a bench on the street with Gu Chaoxi.
Zhou Jie had been staying in his own cafe and rarely went out. After all, people from the art gallery across the street would come in from time to time to drink coffee or something.
When he is busy with his own business, he has no time to take care of other things.
If there was any connection between Du Yuzhao and Shen Liao who had caused trouble in the art gallery after he left his wood carving shop, then.
Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi paused. The relationship between them was indeed a bit complicated.
