Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Who are you? None of your business?
Knowing Lin Gantang didn’t dislike her, Che Qin relaxed her shoulders and a shallow smile appeared on her face, “I came to see you today because I wanted to personally thank you.”
“Didn’t you thank me when you sent the invitation?” Lin Gantang said.
“It’s not that.” Che Qin’s eyes sparkled with joy as she eagerly shared with Lin Gantang, “Mr. Jiao wants to take me on as his student.”
“Mr. Jiao Shengfang?”
Che Qin nodded, and Lin Gantang straightened up, delighted for Che Qin after the initial surprise, “That truly is great news.”
Afterward, Lin Gantang wondered, “I’ve never had any contact with Mr. Jiao, and he’s taking you as his student. Why come thank me?”
Che Qin said gratefully, “If it wasn’t for the invitation you gave me, I wouldn’t have been able to attend the art exhibit, and I never would have had the chance to get Mr. Jiao’s approval.”
There was a live painting exchange during the art exhibit.
Che Qin had the invitation but stood hesitantly at the corner, not daring to come forward. Young Master Le Yu, who followed her quietly, didn’t understand the concept of feeling inferior. His girlfriend wanted to paint, so he straightforwardly got paper, brushes, and paint, and pushed them right in front of her.
As for whether her skills matched up to others, or whether she would be laughed at, Young Master Le Yu expressed, “Who are you? Mind your own business?”
That day, Che Qin was momentarily stunned to see Le Yu appear suddenly. She bit her lip, put their conflicts aside for a moment, said thank you, and took the brush.
Afterward, she freely painted a vast and stunning sea of flowers. When she came back to her senses, roses were blooming on the paper—she unconsciously thought of the fresh flowers Le Yu often brought back after work.
The roses in the painting, full of vitality and brimming with surging emotions, caught the passing Mr. Jiao Shengfang’s attention, and he stopped beside Che Qin.

After listening to the story, Lin Gantang shook her head, “This isn’t my doing. If you didn’t have talent and skill, how would Mr. Jiao have taken notice of you?”
She couldn’t help but seriously remind Che Qin, “Qinqin, don’t belittle yourself. You really are amazing.”
“Is… is that so?” Che Qin never dared to believe that such good fortune would fall upon her.
“In the future, when you become a famous artist, I’ll just wait for the sunflowers you gave me to appreciate in value,” Lin Gantang teased with a light tone.
Che Qin smiled brightly.
“So, it seems you should be thanking Le Yu, right?” Lin Gantang stroked her chin, “Sometimes he’s actually quite useful.”
No wonder she had personally delivered the invitation to him.
Speaking of Le Yu, Che Qin became troubled again. One could tell just by her small action of fretting with her fingers as she looked down.
“He, um…” Che Qin looked down.
Che Qin couldn’t let go, but she also didn’t dare to pick it back up.
“I’ll just work hard to become wealthy,” Che Qin eventually said.
“Do you like the penniless Le Yu?” Lin Gantang speculated, “Are you afraid that he’ll revert back to his bad habits once he returns to his social circle?”
Che Qin nodded almost imperceptibly, then said, “You know my family situation. It’s unlikely we can ever marry, so it’s better not to waste each other’s time.”
“Le Yu’s mother is a foreigner, and their family doesn’t seem to care much about class,” Lin Gantang propped her chin and looked at her for a while, “It’s good when power couples unite, but there’s also no shortage of those brought together by affection. Why can’t you be one of them?”
Che Qin didn’t speak.
“So the root of the problem is Le Yu himself, not the Le family,” Lin Gantang said, “Le Yu used to be quite a piece of work, and even I thought he was unreliable.”
Che Qin’s gaze dimmed, “He’s had more girlfriends than I can count on both hands, never taking relationships seriously, not one lasted long. How long can his fondness for me last?”
“It’s just novelty, that’s all,” Che Qin said, disheartened.
Lin Gantang didn’t defend the old Le Yu, because what Che Qin said was true.
But now, the seemingly jinxed Le Yu truly seemed pitiful, and Lin Gantang couldn’t help but say a few good words for him, “But he did join ‘Transformed,’ right?”
Che Qin, “Huh?”
