Chapter 1046 Step back, the sea is wide open
However, as expected, when we arrived at the formal gallery, it was already full of people, and we, with
our families in tow, looked extraordinarily abrupt.
Once inside, Benjamin was pestered by other guests, so we just looked around.
The gallery adopts the European architectural style of the last century, with a hollow and roofed lobby,
which adds a lot of historical flavor to the entire interior of the room through the old-fashioned
technique. The many oil paintings hanging on the wall have a sense of unreachable mystery under
such an atmosphere.
Passing right in the center, Leo stared at the smile of the Mona Lisa on the wall, stopped in his tracks,
narrowed his eyes slightly and speculated, "Guess if this is a real one or a fake?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"A real one." I didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Those who can come here are rich, and
Benjamin's family is well-off, so he wouldn't want to make a fake one out for appearances."
"What do you think?" Leo asked Dennis again.
"It's real, and it can be fake." Dennis said indifferently, "The oil painting itself has no value, but people's
pursuit has created the present-day fervor. To some extent, attaching the author's life experience and
feelings to the work is a very excellent marketing tool."
"I don't need you to talk to me about business, I'm talking to you about how much of this painting is real
or not." Leo copied his hands into his pockets and lifted his suit jacket back, suddenly starting to get
more serious.
Dennis hooked up the corners of his mouth and sneered, bending over to pick Snowy up while saying
carelessly, "There are as many people who believe that as there are points of truth."
After saying that, he took the child to look at other paintings.
Leo and I were left, after exchanging glances with each other, shaking our shoulders to express our
helplessness.
Words are not bad, the water in this line of art is indeed too deep, and gambling stones, like
speculation in stocks, are high-risk investment, losing money is also a common thing.
But look at Benjamin such a high-profile way of doing things, obviously also in this line of work, that is,
one of the few people who decide the rules of the game, naturally, is absolutely a million dollars.
The Great Exhibition of Masterpieces was not attractive to us, and after a few minutes, we had lost the
excitement of having just stepped into this hall.
Snowy is so active that Dennis simply took her outside to the lodge to see the flowers, birds and trees.
Leo was originally accompanying me all the time, but in the middle, Country M came to call, and he
couldn't disturb the atmosphere of the main hall, so he took his cell phone and went outside to the
corridor.
After standing for a while some tired, I was about to find a place to rest, Benjamin's voice but
coincidentally came from the side.
"Does the sister-in-law think that the painting depicts a high tide, or an ebb tide?"
I froze and stood up straight before I realized he was talking about a painting hanging on the wall in
front of me.
The mood of the oil painting is very beautiful, the seaside, the sun, the waves stacked high, the person
who made the painting is from a distant perspective, so at first glance, it looks like both high and low
tide.
After a while of careful speculation, I gave the answer, "High tide, the painting describes the apparently
sunset, the rising sea, look at the sun, although red-hot, is about to be annihilated with the sea
horizon."
Benjamin mouth hung a faint smile, slightly lowered eyelids, "I think it is the ebb tide, sunrise, seagulls
flying, the tide falls back to the source, you can imagine the magnificent after, as life, a step back, the
sea is wide open."
In the end, the character who has been dormant for so many years behind the scenes, such a simple
painting, can also be a double entendre.
According to this statement, Benjamin is trying to put things to rest?
Just as he finished his words, Leo came back and nodded to each other, still polite.
After greeting, Leo raised his phone at me and said with a difficult expression, "Uncle Link took Uncle
Mo and Aunt Lin back to China."
A moment of silence, I showed a puzzled look, "how suddenly to return to the country, are older people,
how to withstand the journey, you do not advise?"
After I said that, I used the rest of my eyes to watch Benjamin's reaction, and as expected, he still took
the bait.
Benjamin smiled and interjected, "This means that the in-laws are returning to China? It's good, we
haven't seen each other for so many years, when will the elders arrive, I'll make some arrangements,
the two families will sit down and have a reunion dinner."
"It's not necessary." Leo didn't give him any face at all, and refused bluntly, "When Dennis and Jamie
return to Country M with us afterwards, there's no need for the two families to interact with each other,
these superficial efforts, don't do it."
Although prepared, hearing these words come out of Leo's mouth, I still couldn't help but suck in a
breath of cold air.
Leo, a man who was all fury to his own family and at any other time, and said such strong words of
refusal, the atmosphere immediately became tense and awkward, and even the guests next to him
could not help but cast gossipy glances, probably worrying about the owner of the gallery - Benjamin.
But Benjamin is a good illustration of what is meant by the emperor not being anxious.
Leo was a very serious face, he was not angry, but smiled, said with a big smile, "No harm, no harm, I
was abrupt, Leo brother is really straightforward, temperament, I Benjamin ashamed to be inferior, but,
as a junior, to do the host's friendship is also appropriate, this meal I first note, when you received the
elders, settled, I will personally I'll make a note of this meal first.
When he finished, he raised his eyes and snorted behind Leo, "Sorry, I have some friends arriving,
excuse me."
Then, he lifted his feet and walked towards a few guests by the door, blending in with a bunch of upper
class people talking and laughing from a good place.
Leo copied his hands into his pockets and kept his gaze after him for a while, and said coldly, "Look,
what is a human face, this is a human face, who can see that this is a scum who will do anything to
achieve his goal?"
I didn't pick up on that and just pulled the conversation away, "All set?"
Leo froze for a moment before looking back at me, just as a waiter passed by, and reached for a glass
of champagne and took a sip before answering leisurely, "Don't worry, if that guy had found out, he
wouldn't be in this state now."
"That's fine." I nodded, although it was a foolproof plan, involving the safety of several elders, or a little
uneasy.
It is hard to bear the thought of having to travel across the ocean for us, the younger generation, when
we should be enjoying our old age.
But for the greater good and for long-term peace of mind, one can only take a chance.
After about ten minutes, Dennis came back with Snowy in his hand, and just as he was standing, he
asked me, "Got a piece you like?"
"Hmm?" I didn't react, weren't we going through the motions and still had to spend?
Dennis ignored me and turned his head directly to the seaside sunset picture next to him, "This is the
one."
Before I could say anything, he twisted his face again and said rightfully, "I like it, buy it for me, wife."
This ...... How I'm a little uncomfortable, feel a cool chill behind.
Leo smelled a direct jolt, made a show of shaking his shoulders, Yin Yang said, "Can you two couples
pay attention to this is a public occasion, goose bumps are falling all over the place, can you pay
attention to the impact?"
