She had a little interest in art, which was why she went to Jennie's art exhibition.
However, this was her first time seeing so many collections and paintings.
Seeing the amazement in her eyes, Old Master He said proudly, "These are all the works I've collected over the years."
"It turns out that you already have Kim Lu's work," Xu Zhiqin said with a smile.
There were even three of them.
This meant that the old master had good taste, and it also meant that Kim Lu was really famous as a painter.
"Yes, the younger generation bought them for me." Old Master He had loved art all his life. Although he liked expensive works, he also appreciated the works of rising stars.
He had to admire these paintings several times a day.
This was also one of the reasons why he liked Lin Xiruo very much back then.
All these years, Lin Xiruo had not been in a good state of mind due to Jennie's absence. Many people in the He family had a lot of opinions.
Even Old Madam He had suggested a few times that He Jiang marry another woman.
It was the old master who spoke up for Lin Xiruo. Of course, He Jiang's love for Lin Xiruo had never changed, which was how she could finally wait for her daughter to return and for her family to be reunited.
"Kim Lu's paintings have very distinct characteristics. They're never limited to any natural rules. They're free and easy, but they're organized. They're indeed not bad," Xu Zhiqin said softly.
Old Master He was quite happy and discussed a lot with her.
The two of them chatted happily.
Old Master He changed the topic and asked, "What do you and Xuyan usually do?"
"We usually read scripts and novels. Occasionally, we go to art exhibitions." Xu Zhiqin chuckled. "Xuyan is reserved and talented. Doing these things makes him very relaxed. They allow him to display his talent as well."
Due to inheritance matters, Old Master He and He Xuyan had been estranged from each other all these years.
Xu Zhiqin could also tell that Old Master He had called her over for a superficial reason. In fact, he just wanted to understand his grandson through her.
Hence, she changed the topic to He Xuyan. "When Xuyan does what he likes, he'll be especially engrossed."
Old Master He said, "But no matter how much he likes it, it's just his hobby. There are still people supporting the huge He family now, but what about the future?"
Seeing that Xu Zhiqin had lowered her head and wasn't saying anything, Old Master He continued, "He's the grandson of the He family. He should take on the heavy responsibility of the He family in the future. After all, he can't film movies for the rest of his life. Even if he likes someone, he may not like them for the rest of his life."
Xu Zhiqin understood what he meant.
She also knew that he wanted her to persuade He Xuyan.
However, Xu Zhiqin did not covet all the He family's assets. It was more important for He Xuyan to do what he liked.
"He might not be able to work in this industry for the rest of his life, nor might he like the same person for the rest of his life, but I think he'll have no regrets if he pursues this person now. When he thinks about it in the future, he won't be laced with regrets," Xu Zhiqin said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
