After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

"Boyfriend?"

Zheng Xiaohai felt somewhat disappointed, having hoped to make a good impression after meeting.

Zheng Guangrong was also quite surprised, "Mengmeng already has a boyfriend?"

His nephew had brought many gifts with him today, including a painting by a famous contemporary artist to appreciate with Guan Weimin.

In casual conversation, the nephew had subtly expressed his wish to get to know Guan Mengmeng, to which Zheng Guangrong immediately understood his intention and promised to take him to meet her.

However, he now learned that Guan Mengmeng had already got a boyfriend.

"Old Guan, when did Mengmeng get a boyfriend? I've never heard you mention him."

Zheng Guangrong asked, somewhat sullenly.

"Not too long ago, about a month,"

Guan Weimin recalled the last time he saw Yang Hao; in fact, it hadn't been a month, but he didn't want to make it sound too recent.

Upon hearing that Guan Mengmeng's relationship was only a month old, Zheng Xiaohai immediately felt his spirits rise again.

A relationship so young might not yet be stable.

In the current social climate, it shouldn't be hard for a high-quality returnee like himself to win her over from the other boyfriend.

"Uncle Guan, let's look at the painting,"

"Third uncle mentioned that you're quite skilled at painting animals."

Zheng Xiaohai shifted the conversation back to the painting he had brought for Third Uncle.

"Yes, yes, look at the painting,"

Zheng Guangrong unrolled the scroll, which was a "Tiger Descending the Mountain" painting. The artist, Xu Ning, was a relatively young contemporary painter with little fame but considerable skill.

Guan Weimin took out a magnifying glass from a drawer and inspected the painting closely, then nodded in approval, "Not bad, it's very powerful."

"You can tell this young artist has potential!"

Zheng Guangrong chuckled and said, "Old Guan, no wonder you have good taste; this Xu artist has had exhibitions all the way in France. This painting cost my nephew a hundred thousand."

"Given the artist's momentum, it won't be long before this painting's value doubles. If he does well, it might even multiply several times over."

Guan Weimin nodded in envy. Although he had a passion for calligraphy and painting, his financial means limited his collection to some pieces that weren't very valuable; the most expensive painting he owned was just over thirty thousand, and he treasured it immensely.

"Uncle Guan, actually, I know this Xu artist personally."

"I can get a very favorable price. If you like his style, I'll send you a painting later."

Zheng Xiaohai said cheerfully.

"How could I accept that!"

"Such an expensive painting..." Guan Weimin shook his head.

But Zheng Guangrong said, "Old Guan, you're practically someone with a prospective son-in-law; how can that young man not know how to please you?"

Guan Weimin waved his hand, "Mengmeng's boyfriend doesn't even know that I like these things."

"He's just not attentive."

"Just ask Mengmeng, and he would know!"

Zheng Guangrong, understanding his nephew's intentions, began to undermine the situation.

If the father-in-law doesn't like the son-in-law, then a breakup might not be far off.

With a smile on his face, Zheng Xiaohai stood aside, silently giving his third uncle a thumbs up in his mind. Some words he couldn't say himself, but Third Uncle and Guan Weimin had been neighbors for many years; they knew each other well, so it was fine for him to speak such words.

"After all, they haven't been together for very long,"

In truth, Guan Weimin had never thought about his "son-in-law" giving him calligraphy and painting gifts, but upon Zheng Guangrong's comments, he couldn't help but harbor some expectations.

If his future son-in-law truly knew how to cater to his interests and gave him a piece of art, that would indeed be considerate.

"Weimin, come out quickly, Mengmeng and Hao have come back!!"

Right then, Xu Yanfen's voice rang out from outside the study.

"They're back!"

"Did they get off work early!"

Guan Weimin quickly emerged from the study.

"Hai, make a good impression."

"You heard it just now; Mengmeng's boyfriend has only been around for a month, you still have a chance."

"Besides, Mengmeng's boyfriend definitely can't compare to you!"

Zheng Guangrong said in a low voice.

"Mm, I'm confident."

Zheng Xiaohai nodded confidently, then uncle and nephew also left the study.

Just then, as Yang Hao walked in and changed his shoes, the painting frame he was holding instantly caught the attention of Guan Weimin as well as Zheng uncle and nephew.

Guan Weimin was somewhat dazed.

Just moments ago, Zheng Guangrong was saying how his "son-in-law" wasn't attentive!

And yet, the guy actually came bearing a painting.

Regardless of its worth...

It was a thoughtful gesture!

"Uncle Guan, Mengmeng told me you like paintings and calligraphy."

"I don't really understand this stuff, but take a look at this painting, do you like it?"

Yang Hao lifted the painting frame to a good viewing height for Guan Weimin as he spoke.

The "Lion Painting" he brought was a medium-size, 50cm by 70cm, which is not small.

"Amazing!"

"Such a commanding presence, worthy of the Lion Painting!!"

A work by a famous artist always impresses, especially for someone like Guan Weimin who loves calligraphy and painting, to see an outstanding piece is beyond words.

"Hao, don't hold it up!"

"Quick, bring it to the study!"

Guan Weimin said with a beaming smile.

"Alright, sure."

Yang Hao promptly carried the framed "Lion Painting" to the study.

"Old Zheng, better put away your painting."

At this moment, the painting displayed on the desk was the "Tiger Descending the Mountain" brought by Zheng Guangrong.

Though reluctant, Zheng Guangrong couldn't say much since it was someone else's home, and he had to roll up the "Tiger Descending the Mountain" for now.

Of course, he was also curious to see what kind of painting Guan Weimin's son-in-law had brought.

Earlier, it was only a fleeting glance, but it seemed quite decent.
