Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 72 - Whose Man Did You Snatch Away?

Upon seeing Sheng Jiaoyang's indifferent expression, Gu Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

"You don't believe me?"

Sheng Jiaoyang tapped twice on the menu and answered with a question of her own, "Did I say that I didn't believe you?"

Gu Zhou slightly raised an eyebrow and leaned forward, "But, your expression says otherwise..."

Sheng Jiaoyang's lips arched into a faint smile and she raised her hand to signal the waiter to come take their order. Gu Zhou was surprised to see that she was quite familiar with the menu. It didn't seem like she was here for the first time at all.

"You've been here before?" Gu Zhou stared at her with interest.

The busybodies on the internet had already investigated Xu Jiaojiao thoroughly. They'd found out which primary school she'd gone to, and that aside from participating in the National Supermodel show, she hadn't done anything special. She'd always kept the same daily routine and studied all day long. During her study years, she didn't possess any other exceptional qualities aside from her good grades. Her past self in comparison with her present self was like the sky and the earth turned upside down. It was as if she'd changed into another person completely.

Based on Xu Jiaojiao's family circumstances, it was highly unlikely that she would get to dine at such a high-end restaurant. Not to mention, Cirrus Cloud Restaurant was one of the top high-class restaurants in the city that not even the average rich person could afford to dine at on a regular basis.

"I have..." Sheng Jiaoyang trailed off and recovered after a second and added, "...not been here!"

Gu Zhou smiled lightly and didn't probe further. He changed the topic and questioned, "You haven't known Lina for long, right? How come you two are so intimate? So much so that it turned into that kind of scandal."

"Who knows?!"

"I've helped you this time, so how are you going to repay me?" Gu Zhou cast an expectant glance at Sheng Jiaoyang.

"Weren't you helping the company?"

It turned out that he would be pulled back to this topic again. Gu Zhou laughed upon realisation. This little fox didn't take the bait!

Although she is young, she is watertight. It seems that trying to catch her off guard is out of the question...

Gu Zhou then stopped beating around the bush and said, "The company's affairs are taken care of by the company, and I'm not obliged to help with this. I'm only extending a helping hand in the hopes that you'll draw a painting for me in return."

Sheng Jiaoyang narrowed her eyes. "There are a lot of famous painters in the world, so you can easily get your hands on a famous painting. Could it be that you're reluctant to spend the money for it?" She cast a suspicious look at Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou was caught between laughing and crying.

"If your artwork could be bought with money, then you wouldn't have turned me down last time."

The fact that he liked her work so much made Sheng Jiaoyang feel somewhat appreciative. The corners of her lips curled upwards as she said, "A painting that is drawn casually isn't considered an artwork in a painter's eyes. A genuine artwork is painted with emotions and filled with creativity. Thus, it often takes a long time to prepare for an art exhibition, because each artwork requires ample inspiration and creativity, as well as the right feelings to be completed."

"If you're just looking for a sketch made of readily-available material, I can draw one on the spot for you."

"I didn't mean to say that you have to gift one to me right now. It's just that I want you to give me priority when you create another artwork in the future."
