Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Brother, Sister Qingqing, have you become my disciple?"

Tie Niu didn't go upstairs, but was sitting in the living room downstairs. When he saw them, he immediately asked with concern.

"No, I'll talk about it when I get back!"

Shen Qiubai had a cold face. Tie Niu knew he was angry at a glance and quickly went out to drive.

Master Shi did not chase after him. Although he was afraid of the Shen family, Shen Qiubai's words were so harsh and he also had a temper. It would be too embarrassing to chase after him again.

After Shen Qiubai and his companions drove away, Master Shi immediately called the capital.

"Brother Fan, I'm so sorry. I didn't do what you asked me to do. It's all my fault. But I didn't expect Mr. Shen to leave without even giving me a chance to explain..."

Master Shi omitted Lin Yuhua's rudeness and only said that she accidentally revealed the fact that Xiaoyu was mentally retarded, which angered the beautiful woman brought by Shen Qiubai. Shen Qiubai was furious for his beloved and said a lot of unpleasant words, not giving him any face at all.

"Ah, please trouble Brother Fan to explain to Director Chen. Everything can be discussed. Although the child is mentally retarded, he is still quite talented in painting. Before I could even open my mouth, Master Shen took his people away. This matter is really..."

Master Shi sighed for a while. In fact, he was not afraid of offending Shen Qiubai. What he was afraid of was the Shen family in the capital. Shen Qiubai had not been in the capital for many years and his reputation was not as good as his three brothers.

This Brother Fan is the vice president of the National Calligraphy and Painting Association. Director Chen is the sister-in-law of Shen Qiubai's second sister-in-law and a cadre of the Ministry of Culture. He is in charge of people like Master Shi. Master Shi's art exhibition in Beijing this time was organized by Brother Fan. It was also Brother Fan who took the initiative to contact Shen Qiubai to become Xiaoyu's apprentice.

"You really didn't do a good job. Even if you don't want to accept a disciple, you should have said it nicely. How can you offend Master Shen? Old Shi, you don't know that this Master Shen is the treasure of the Shen family. Oh, it's my fault for not explaining it to you in advance. I will go to Director Chen to explain tomorrow."

Master Shi was not worried at first, but when his old friend said this, he panicked and regretted it. If he had known that Shen Qiubai had such an important position in the Shen family, he would definitely lower himself and accept Xiaoyu even if he was an idiot.

"Brother Fan, my art exhibition won't be affected, right?"

What Master Shi is most worried about is the art exhibition. He has spread the news of the art exhibition in the capital. If it fails, where will he put his old face?

"I'll talk to Director Chen tomorrow. Don't worry too much. Mr. Shen shouldn't be angry over such a small matter!" Brother Fan comforted.

Master Shi felt more relieved and said, "I'll call the Lin family and talk to them. It was Yuhua who started it all tonight."

After hanging up the phone, he found Lin Yuhua and asked her to call home.

"Don't worry, teacher. My family and the Shen family have a close relationship. Everything will be fine if my father just goes and says hello." Lin Yuhua said with confidence.

Master Shi felt more at ease. He did not doubt the relationship between the Lin family and the Shen family because he had seen a photo of Lin's father and Mr. Shen at the Lin family with his own eyes. They looked very familiar with each other, so he thought they should have a very good relationship.

Moreover, the Lin family has a high status in the capital, and Lin Yuhua's father is also a cadre in the army. The Shen family should not be so far as to neglect face for the Lin family, right?

Thinking of this, Master Shi felt completely relieved.

Shen Qiubai sent Xia Qingqing and her brother home first. On the way, he apologized, "I didn't know this Shi was such a person. I've wronged you and Xiaoyu."

"It's okay, don't take it to heart, and don't look for another teacher. I have a very suitable teacher here."

Xia Qingqing took out Lang Yue's business card. If Shen Qiubai had not found Master Shi first, she would have agreed to Lang Yue that day.

Shen Qiubai looked at the business card carefully. The resume looked impressive, but Langyue specialized in oil painting, while Master Shi specialized in traditional Chinese painting.

"I'll have someone check on Long Yue."

Shen Qiubai was still a little worried. Xiaoyu was different from ordinary children and must find a teacher with good character.

"Row."

Xia Qingqing did not refuse. She really didn't know Lang Yue, and she would feel more at ease if she checked with him.

Seeing that Shen Qiubai was still a little angry, she deliberately asked, "That Lin Yuhua is not your childhood sweetheart, right? She looks at you with affectionate eyes."

"I don't know her, she must be mentally ill."

Shen Qiubai hurried to clarify, fearing that Xia Qingqing would misunderstand, but when he saw the smile on Xia Qingqing's face, he suddenly understood. He looked around and saw Tie Niu concentrating on driving, Xiaoyu sitting in the passenger seat, and there were only the two of them in the back seat.

He leaned over and whispered in the girl's ear: "Don't you know what I'm thinking?"

Xia Qingqing was frightened by the heat beside her ear and jumped up, falling into a hard embrace. Shen Qiubai held her in his arms, feeling so warm and soft in his arms that he was reluctant to let go.

"How should I know what you're thinking? You didn't tell me."

Xia Qingqing glared and moved to the side, but her hand was caught. She struggled but failed as she was held tightly.

"Let go!"

Xia Qingqing was afraid that Tie Niu and Xiao Yu in front of her would hear her, so she spoke in a low voice.

Shen Qiubai didn't let go, and squeezed her hand. Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth, turned passive into active, and gently stroked his palm with her fingers. Feeling the tenseness of Shen Qiubai's body, she smiled triumphantly.

However, her pride only lasted three seconds.

Shen Qiubai actually kissed her hand. His warm lips gently pressed on her palm. A tingling electric current quickly spread from her palm to her whole body. Xia Qingqing felt numb and her mind went blank.

When she reacted, she only heard Shen Qiubai's chuckle. Her hand was still held and placed on someone's leg. Feeling that she was at a disadvantage, Xia Qingqing couldn't help but pinch a piece of soft flesh and twist it hard.

"Hiss..."

Shen Qiubai gasped and held down the mischievous hand tightly. This girl was really cruel when she pinched people!

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Tie Niu asked nervously, and Xiaoyu also turned around, with concern in her big eyes.

Xia Qingqing wanted to pull her hand back, but was held tighter. Shen Qiubai said calmly, "It's okay, drive your car."

He appears to be righteous on the surface, but his hands are actually acting like hooligans, kneading and kneading one of his hands like dough, which is not serious at all.

"Oh!"

Tie Niu continued driving and Xiao Yu continued looking at the scenery outside the window, but they always felt that the atmosphere in the car was not right, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

After sending the brother and sister home, Shen Qiubai and Tie Niu returned to the gear hobbing machine factory and went directly to their second brother's home in Beijing.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm Qiu Bai."

"Qiu Bai, how are you feeling lately? Is your cough getting better?"

Second sister-in-law Sun Jingyi spoke with concern. Shen Qiubai had three brothers and one sister. He was the youngest in the family, and there was a big age gap between him and his brothers and sisters. The eldest child in his eldest sister's family was only two years younger than him, and the children of his eldest and second brothers were not much older than him. In addition, he left home at a young age and suffered a lot. His parents and brothers and sisters felt that they owed him, and treated him better than their own children.

"Much better, second sister-in-law. The Shi Wenliang you introduced is not a good person. No matter how good his painting is, a person with poor moral character is not suitable to hold an art exhibition in the capital."

When Shen Qiubai spoke to his family, his tone was a little more willful, and he directly stated that he wanted to punish Shi Wenliang.

The old man was so proud of holding an art exhibition in the capital, but now he has ruined it.
