Chapter 149 The old man with white beard

Chapter 150 The old man with white beard

Wen Ning rubbed his sore neck and looked at Wang Haihua with dim eyes.

"I think you should know that there is a saying that you are willing to accept defeat when you bet. When I first proposed to continue the bet, if you had been sober and rational now, you would not have lost so miserably."

At this time, Wang Haihua no longer had the excitement and surprise she had when she first met Wen Ning a few days ago. She finally understood that this seemingly good-looking and gentle man actually had a dark heart.

“It seems like that woman is really pitiful for finding someone with such a dark heart like you.”

Facing her sarcasm and provocation, Wen Ning remained calm and said, "I don't need to worry about our relationship. What you have to consider now is how to repay the thousand yuan you owe."

Hearing this, Wang Haihua suddenly lost her smile.

When Wen Ning asked to continue playing in the afternoon, she said that she had no money, so Wen Ning suggested that the old housekeeper lend her money: if she loses, there will be no interest, and only the principal will be returned; if she wins, the principal will be returned, and all the interest will be Wang Haihua's own of.

At that time, her mind was hot, and Wen Ning deliberately showed weakness. She felt that she had a good chance of winning back, so she readily agreed. But who could have imagined that she would lose so miserably?

Seeing Wang Haihua roll his eyes and prepare to cheat, Wen Ning took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Don't forget, I still have the IOU you wrote..."

It was clearly written in black and white on the paper. Even if Wang Haihua wanted to deny it, she finally lost her confidence at this time, "That...isn't it a joke? Why do you still take it seriously?"

Wen Ning suddenly turned cold after hearing this, "If I were the one who lost, you wouldn't have said that, right? With so many people testifying, even if it went to the police station or court, you wouldn't be able to take advantage of it." Li, you have to pay back the money honestly.”

Wen Ning’s words made Wang Haihua lose her last bit of luck. She had no job to pay such a large sum of money, so where could she pay it back?

Seeing this, Wen Ning stood up with a smile and gave Butler Wang a look. The old housekeeper understood immediately, walked up to Wang Haihua and muttered a few words in a low voice.

The decadent Wang Haihua's eyes suddenly brightened. She looked at the old housekeeper as if she were her savior, "Old guy, are you telling the truth?"

Seeing Butler Wang's expression change, Wang Haihua realized what she had just said, "Ah haha, slip of the tongue, Butler Wang, are you telling the truth?"

The old housekeeper nodded, "As long as you promise not to come to my Meng house again, we won't need this money. We will also give you a ticket and travel expenses home. What do you think?"

How about it? This is of course great!

But when she thought about not being able to easily come to the Meng family in the future, Wang Haihua felt that she had suffered a huge loss. "If you don't let me come to the Meng family, what will happen to my work? What will happen to me when I find a partner in the future?"

Seeing that she was about to go back on her word, the old housekeeper immediately made a serious face, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, then just wait for our subpoena. If word gets out that you owe money and you won't pay it back, which workplace would be willing to hire someone like you?" ah…"

 Wen Ning and the old housekeeper played the good role and the bad role, and finally tricked Wang Haihua into agreeing not to harass the Meng family again.

Early the next morning, Wang Haihua finally left under the **** of bodyguards.

　　Looking at the car driving away, Fang Qing and Zicheng stood on the attic and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Having put away this big trouble, the Meng family was relieved. The cook specially cooked a large table of delicious dishes that night, thanking Wen Ning for his help.

 Because it has been raining these days, everyone is almost exhausted at home.

So early the next morning, the housekeeper arranged a vehicle and took the whole family to a beautiful park to relax.

Wen Ning took Zicheng to go rock climbing, while Fang Qing found a corner by the lake and painted the pavilions in the park.

Fang Qing was very immersed in the painting, and she had no idea that several people slowly gathered behind her.

Fang Qing clicked on the dark green paint and was about to paint the trees in the distance. A person behind him immediately stopped him, "Don't move, the color here is gradient. If you click it directly, it will make the whole picture look stiff."

Fang Qing was startled by the sudden sound, and the tip of his pen hit the drawing board.

 “Oh, now the painting is all white...” The onlookers let out a sigh of regret and gradually dispersed.

Fang Qing sighed and raised his hand to tear it up and start painting again, but the man behind him immediately came over and said, "Don't tear it up, it can still be repaired."

Then without waiting for Fang Qing's reaction, the man stepped forward, grabbed the brush and randomly applied two strokes on the newly stained area. The originally destroyed picture was miraculously repaired.

Fang Qing looked at the drawing paper in surprise that was obviously more artistic than what he just drew. He turned around in surprise and saw that the person next to him was an old man with gray hair.

“Thank you, Grandpa, I didn’t expect you to be so good. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I would have to repaint this painting.”

The old man smiled when he heard this, stroking his gray beard and sighed, "I don't dare to say that I understand, I just know a little bit."

Then he took another look at Fang Qing. This girl was young and had little experience in painting, but she had a good command of the composition and structure, so she thought of giving some advice.

“Girl, are you interested in learning painting from me?”

Seeing that Fang Qing did not reject it, the old man changed his calm demeanor and quickly took out a shabby leaflet from his pocket, threw it in front of Fang Qing, and started to explain it very actively.

“Let me tell you, if you want to learn to draw well, you can’t do it without someone’s guidance. You must find a famous artist to teach you..."

Fang Qing opened his mouth, "Um... that..."

The old man swatted away her stupidly raised hand, "I know what you are going to say. You are just afraid that my charges are unreasonable and that I will lie to you! Don't worry, although my old Gong seems unreliable, I He really knows how to draw..."

“My price is the most reasonable in the whole capital, and we guarantee that we will provide you with training and lessons, and we will never charge a penny more…”

As he said this, the old man took out a few folded drawing papers from who knows which pocket and showed them to Fang Qing with a proud look on his face.

“Look, this is my previous work. How about it? Is it okay? Hey, don’t worry, although my old man is old, I am more than capable of teaching a little kid like you..."

Fang Qing stared at the drawing paper in the old man's hand in stunned silence. Although these drawing papers had been folded into many wrinkles, Fang Qing could still see the full picture of the painting at a glance, "This... which master is this?" work?"

The white-bearded old man proudly stroked the few remaining beards on his chin, "Who else could it be... Ahem, of course it's the work of this master. Oh, little girl, are you going to learn painting from me? I The old man doesn’t accept disciples easily, there is no such shop beyond this village.”

Seeing that Fang Qing was attracted by the painting, the old man thought there was a way to do it, "Girl, as long as you study with me for a few days, I guarantee that your painting level will improve rapidly, how about it?"

Before Fang Qing could say anything, Wen Ning came up behind him and said, "Old man, don't bother."
