Chapter 257: Rejected
The next day.
Xue Liang’s art exhibition began at three in the afternoon.
Qiao Xi had been looking at his paintings since she was young and had long lost interest in them.
However, Song Shiyu was Xue Liang’s die-hard fan and the tickets for the art exhibition were hard to come by. Many wealthy families could not get them, so how could he, an assistant, get one?
Moreover, Gu Yao had been clamoring to go. Hence, Qiao Xi asked Xue Liang for two tickets.
At two in the afternoon, Song Shiyu and Gu Yao were wearing suits and waiting at the entrance of the art exhibition.
At half-past two, everyone gradually came into the venue.
Gu Yao looked at the people around him. They were all from the noble families of Li City. Even the people from the bureaucracy were here.
He could not help but sigh. “My idol is really too handsome! Xue Liang is the best!”
No matter how powerful and noble a person was, they had to queue up obediently just to see his art exhibition. This was the greatest affirmation.
This was a relatively high-end venue. It was quiet and orderly, but the silence was broken by a harsh female voice.
“Look clearly, these are our tickets! What right do you have to stop us from entering?”
Gu Yao and Song Shiyu looked in the direction of the voice.
A middle-aged woman dressed in exquisite clothes and silver jewelry had a vicious look in her eyes. Her face was red. “Let me in! Why aren’t you giving me a reasonable explanation? I already spent money to buy a ticket!”
Everyone’s gazes landed on her, making her feel extremely awkward.
Gu Yao muttered, “Madam Yao? Why isn’t she allowed in? Could she have offended Xue Liang?”
At this moment, Madam Yao’s expression was ugly. She wished for nothing more than to find a hole to bury herself in it.
The Yao family only managed to get two tickets. She was accompanying her daughter to attend the art exhibition.
However, when they reached the door, they were stopped.
Madam Yao had never been so humiliated. “Give me a reason!”
The staff member smiled helplessly. “I’m sorry, but this is an instruction from the higher-ups. We can’t let you in.”
Madam Yao wanted to curse but was stopped by Yao Mengqing.
Yao Mengqing said gently, “The tickets were bought through the legal channels. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with them. Please help me investigate what went wrong.”
Yao Mengqing had a good reputation in the circle, so someone quickly spoke up for her. “That’s right. How could the eldest daughter and madam of the Yao family buy fake tickets? You must be mistaken.”
The staff member was helpless. He could only turn around and make a call. After a while, he walked out and said with a helpless voice.
“I’m sorry, Miss Yao and Madam Yao. I’ve already asked Mr. Xue’s assistant. Mr. Xue was the one who canceled the Yao family’s tickets. As for the reason, I suggest you ask Mr. Xue directly.”
Madam Yao was so angry that she nearly vomited blood!
Her daughter had finally gotten two tickets and she even posted them on her WeChat Moments to show off. Unexpectedly, she could not enter today.
They even said that the Yao family’s invitation was canceled, but she could not figure out when the Yao family had offended Xue Liang.
Madam Yao looked ferocious. “Shut up! The Yao family has never offended Xue Liang! You must have done it on purpose. Hurry up and let us in!”
Yao Mengqing remained silent and did not stop Madam Yao.
This was because she also thought that Xue Liang would not do this. It must be because this staff member was dissatisfied with the Yao family.
“There’s really no law! We spent money to buy the tickets, so why can’t we enter? You said that it was Xue Liang’s assistant who said it? Then get him to come out and give us an explanation!”
“Alright, I’ll give you an explanation.”
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded.
Xue Liang had rushed over from his studio to make the final arrangements with the staff.
He said indifferently, “There’s no need to look for my assistant. I’ll tell you myself.”
When everyone saw Xue Liang appear, they all rushed over. “Ah! Xue Liang is here!”
“Not only is Xue Liang talented but he’s also very handsome!”
“I heard that Xue Liang has a gentle character. Why would he make things difficult for the Yao family? The Yao family must have done something overboard to anger Xue Liang!”
Hearing the discussion of the crowd, Madam Yao gritted her teeth and shouted, “We’ve never seen Xue Liang before at all. How did we offend him? Mr. Xue, you came at the right time. I want to ask why you’re not letting me in? Was it your assistant who interfered?”
Xue Liang glanced at Madam Yao coldly and landed his gaze on Yao Mengqing.
“Miss Yao, don’t you want to say anything?”
