Chapter 995: Together

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yu had been having a hard time lately.

There had been no progress on the matter concerning Yu Cheng. Previously, she had promised that she would find a way to get help from the Xu family. However, it seemed that this tactic would not work now. Her situation in the Yu family was becoming more and more tenuous.

On the other hand, Xiang Yao’s crazy extortion had also made her exhausted.

After the phone call the other day, she had thought of a way to raise the money and called Xiang Yao. Only then had he finally stopped causing trouble.

However, Yu Yu knew very well that this was only temporary.

Once he spent all the money, he would definitely come looking for her again.

No matter how much money she had, she would never be able to withstand his extortion!

A lot of things were not going well. Yu Yu was so anxious that she could not even sleep well.

All she could do was force herself to put all her energy into work.

The only thing she was glad about was that Yu Media was still in her hands. As long as she managed it well, she still had a chance to turn things around.

Currently, Yu Media’s biggest investment was “Fantasy God Chronicles”.

She had high hopes for this film. All the funding applications related to it had been given the green light. During the process, she had even made time to visit the director and main creator on the set. In short, she was putting in 120,000% of her energy.

She began to eagerly wait for the release of “Fantasy God Chronicles”.

Shen Li’s exam Monday was spread out over two weeks in total.

The exams for subjects such as College English and others were the first to be completed in the first week. The remaining professional courses were left to the second week, which was on the days from the end of June to the beginning of July.

During the graduation season, Shen Zhijin was also very busy. Shen Li often noticed that the lights in the study room were still on even around 11 p.m. or midnight.

That afternoon, she finished an exam and went to the laboratory to read for a while. That night, she went home with Shen Zhijin.

“Tangtang, how was your exam today?” Shen Zhijin asked.

Shen Li nodded.

“It was okay.”

In fact, there was never any suspense about Shen Li’s results. However, every time, Shen Zhijin would still ask her about it.

Hearing her say this, he lowered his chin slightly. Then, he paused for a moment and asked again, “Oh right, your birthday is in two days. How do you want to spend the day?”

This was the first birthday that Shen Li would be celebrating since she had returned to her family.

Shen Li had clearly already made up her mind and said,”There will be an exam that morning, after which I’ll be free in the afternoon and the next day, so I plan to return to Hong Kong City.”

Shen Zhijin looked at her quietly.

“You want to spend the time in Hong Kong City?”

The corners of Shen Li’s lips curved.

“I want to spend some time with Mom.”

Shen Zhijin lowered his eyes slightly and did not speak for a long time. His handsome and aloof face was as calm as ever, but he also seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

Actually, when he heard that Shen Li wanted to return to Hong Kong City, he had already guessed what she was thinking.

June 26th was her birthday.

And after that, June 27th marked the beginning of his loss.

Shen Li asked, “Dad, why don’t you come with me?”

Shen Zhijin came back to his senses and looked up at her again. His gaze fell on the dimples at the corners of her lips. His brows relaxed and he smiled.

“Okay.”

The next day, Shen Li took some time to go to the art association.

After entering the main door, she walked towards the building. Soon, she saw two men walking on the steps in front of her.

The figure on the left looked familiar. It was Shi Yang.

The one on the right seemed to be his assistant, who was saying something to him.

“… Teacher Wu Qing’s art exhibition is about to start. He really hopes that you’ll be able to attend as a guest.”

Shi Yang nodded and said in a refined and polite manner, “It should be fine. When is it?”

The assistant said, “The day after tomorrow.”

Shi Yang suddenly paused in his footsteps and said, “I already have other arrangements for the day after tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll be able to go.”

The assistant was stunned. “Then… the day after that?”

Shi Yang shook his head and said gently, “I will be quite busy during those few days. I seem to remember that his art exhibition is going to be held for a week, right? Let’s just wait for the last day to go.”

It could also be considered as helping to wrap things up perfectly.

The assistant immediately said, “Alright. I will go and communicate with Teacher Wu Qing in a while.”

Whether it was the first or the last day, Shi Yang was already giving him face by being able to go. The other party would be more than happy and would not be picky about it.

Shi Yang replied with a “Hmm”.

Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. He turned around, only then spotting Shen Li standing behind him, not too far from him.

“Shen Li?”

Shen Li greeted him with a polite and calm tone of voice.

“Teacher Shi Yang.”

A gentle smile appeared on Shi Yang’s face.

“Why are you here today?”

Shen Li said, “I’m here to settle some matters.”

She did not reveal the details. Shi Yang smiled and did not continue to ask any further questions. He merely nodded in response.

Both parties walked in one after another before walking to either side of the corridor.

Shi Yang took a few steps and turned back to look. He saw Shen Li enter one of the rooms and asked, “I heard that in the past, Shen Li’s paintings were sold and auctioned by the Yunzhou Art Association?”

The assistant had not expected him to suddenly ask this, but he still nodded. “Yes, have you forgotten? Elder Yu is the chairman of the Yunzhou Art Association.”

Shen Li had been born in Lincheng and later went to Yunzhou for her third year of high school. These two cities were close neighbors. During those two years, Shen Li’s paintings had been taken care of by the Yunzhou Art Association.

Shi Yang smiled.

“That’s true.”

“However, ever since Shen Li’s identity as Tree’s Shadow had been exposed, all her related businesses had been transferred here. Because of this, many people were especially happy at that time!”

The assistant talked about these things with relish. After all, Shen Li’s identity was really special, and her paintings could always be auctioned at a high price. Everything related to her could easily attract everyone’s attention.

Shi Yang was the vice-chairman of the art association, but there were three other vice-chairmen in the art association as well. He was not responsible for this part of the content, so it was normal that he was not clear about it.

“So it looks like she has a painting to auction now?”

The place that Shen Li had headed to just now was in charge of this part of the business.

The assistant also looked in that direction. “It should be. It’s been a long time since she’s produced a painting.”

Shi Yang withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly.

“I admire her paintings too. It’s a pity that I haven’t managed to see them often. I can’t miss it this time. Remember to let me know when the news of her painting participating in an auction is confirmed.”

His assistant had heard Shi Yang mention that he liked Shen Li’s paintings before, so he immediately agreed.

“Alright.”

“The Bo Xing Auction House in the Capital is preparing to hold an auction in July. The specifications are very high. We’re planning to send your paintings to this auction. What do you think?”

In the office, the staff was very earnestly discussing with Shen Li.

Shen Li was young, but her seniority was extremely high. In addition, her status in the art world was not low, so every time she came here, everyone in the art association treated her very respectfully.

Shen Li nodded, but she was not particularly concerned about this.

She had come today for another matter.

“By the way, I heard that some time ago, another gallery had exhibited a fake painting by Teacher Yu?”
