After sending 012 away, Yan Qing went to the studio, picked up a painting and went downstairs.

Everyone in the living room had already finished breakfast. Su Yansui stood by the door, half of his body shrouded in shadow.

He originally wanted to wait for Yan Qing to come down before going to the company, but Su Mingda had already stood up and was ready to go to the company, so he couldn't sit there any longer.

Fortunately, just as he was about to follow Su Mingda's footsteps and step out the door, he heard noise coming from the stairs.

Su Yansui looked up, the darkness in his eyes disappeared, and he moved himself back inside without making a sound.

Su Mingda also stopped and returned to Lin Wenjun.

Lin Wenjun looked concerned: "Why did Qingqing take so long?"

Yan Qingyang glanced at the painting in his hand and said with a smile, "I was delayed for a while while looking for something."

Gu Zhao recognized at a glance that this was the painting that Yan Qing had painted in the garden before.

She suddenly remembered the strange black cat and her doubts about Yan Qing's mental state at that time.

Gu Zhao lowered his eyes and silently sent another message to Karenville.

If Qingqing goes to the teacher this time, the teacher can pay attention to whether there is anything wrong.

I hope she's just overthinking it.

Chi Jianzhou took the painting from Yan Qing and said gently, "Is this the painting by Qingqing?"

Yan Qing said embarrassedly: "Aren't we going to see Master Karenville later? I would like to ask him for guidance."

Chi Jianzhou opened the painting and his first glance fell on the skull and black cat looming in the corner. He paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "I think Master Karenville will definitely be willing to give you some advice."

Yan Qing smiled lightly, with a little pride in his eyes, but in a moment he retreated completely and turned around with a humble look again.

Gu Zhao saw it clearly and she couldn't help laughing. If someone else did this, she would definitely think it was hypocritical, but when she saw Yan Qing like this, she just thought it was cute.

Chi Jianzhou put the painting away. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, his expression gentle and his eyes bright: "Qingqing, it's getting late, let's go."

Yan Qing suddenly became a little worried: "Brother Jianzhou, will we be late?"

Chi Jianzhou rubbed the top of Yan Qing's head and said softly, "Qingqing, don't worry, it won't happen."

Yan Qing heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good."

After saying this, Yan Qing caught a glimpse of Gu Zhao from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly said, "Brother Jianzhou, can you bring me along? It would be beneficial for me to have more exposure to these things."

Chi Jianzhou paused slightly. Master Karenville was different from others. He wondered if he would mind if someone was added temporarily.

But seeing the expectation in Yan Qing's eyes, Chi Jianzhou couldn't bear to refuse. He looked at Gu Zhao, and his tone was a little stiffer than before.

This attitude immediately reveals his discrimination.

"This opportunity to meet Master Karenville is rare. Since Qingqing wants you to go, let's go together."

Lin Wenjun said indifferently, "Zhao Zhao, why don't you thank Qingqing and Jianzhou quickly? Qingqing's kindness shows that she cares about you as her sister. You can also broaden your horizons by following the past..."

Hearing this, Yan Qing smiled gently, and the look in her eyes deepened. She called Lin Wenjun "Mom" in a half-coquettish way, and only then did she stop Lin Wenjun from talking.

Lin Wenjun tapped Yan Qing's forehead helplessly, but didn't continue talking.

Gu Zhao just raised his eyelids and reacted indifferently to Lin Wenjun's words.

If she didn't know Yan Qing's true character behind this innocent face, she might have been deceived by this and really thought that Yan Qing was doing this for her own good as Lin Wenjun said.

But this is not important. Since Qingqing wants her to go with them to see the teacher, then let her go. She also wants to know what Qingqing will do this time.

And if she doesn't go, what if Qingqing does the same thing as before, regardless of her own health?

Thinking of this, Gu Zhao's eyes darkened and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.

Gu Zhao's expression didn't ease up until he got into Chi Jianzhou's car.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at her phone, which contained a message from Karenville.

Before getting on the car, Gu Zhao sent a message to Karenville, saying that she would go there with Chi Jianzhou, Yan Qing and others, and hoped that Karenville would not reveal her identity.

Karenville didn't ask any more questions, just replied with a good word.

After arriving at the hotel where Karenville was staying, Yan Qing looked at the surroundings with a bit of surprise on his face: "Master Karenville lives here?"

Chi Jianzhou nodded: "This is the hotel that the organizer of the exhibition arranged for Master Karenville to stay in."

As they were talking, they had already arrived outside Karenville's room. The two bodyguards at the door tensed their muscles for a moment when they saw the stranger.

It was not until Chi Jianzhou stepped forward and explained his purpose that the guard on the two bodyguards' faces eased a little. Only after they saw Gu Zhao following behind them did they completely put their minds at ease.

They didn't know the others, but Miss Gu Zhao was Professor Karenville's disciple. However, thinking of what Karenville had told them in the morning not to reveal Miss Gu Zhao's identity now, the two bodyguards finally decided to keep silent.

Instead, Chi Jianzhou's eyes flickered, and he swept his gaze over the two bodyguards calmly. Chi Jianzhou felt a sense of familiarity in them.

Just like overseas mercenaries.

Thinking of this, Chi Jianzhou's eyes darkened a little, and he became more alert and cautious towards Master Karenville, whose name he had only heard of.

The two bodyguards led Yan Qing and the others into the living room. Karenville was still in the studio. One of the bodyguards said coldly, "Master Karenville doesn't like others to disturb him when he is painting. Please wait here first."

After saying this, the bodyguard glanced at Gu Zhao covertly, and then looked away when he saw that she didn't have any objection.

This person is the professor's disciple, so he has to be considerate of him both emotionally and logically.

Yan Qing and Chi Jianzhou naturally had no objections. For Yan Qing, this was a plot point that she had to go through, and according to the character of the fake daughter, she would also choose to stay.

As for Chi Jianzhou, of course if Yan Qing was willing to wait, he would naturally wait with her. Besides, he was also silently paying attention to the two bodyguards.

These two people are not simple, and the people they protect are probably even more extraordinary.

The clock in the living room ticked away, and after the minute hand had gone around a circle, the door to the studio opened.

Yan Qing, Chi Jianzhou and others stood up immediately.

Karenville's hair was a little messy, and the small bun at the end of her hair was loose. Her emerald green eyes were cold and looked unkind.

Karenville raised his eyes and swept his gaze over Chi Jianzhou and the others. His originally calm expression suddenly froze the moment his eyes touched Yan Qing. His emerald green pupils shrank and a strong look of disbelief burst out from his eyes.

"It's you……"
