After she looked up at the sky speechlessly for a while, she waved her hand and said,
"No need. I'm not interested in these things."
Yan Hua chased after her and continued to persuade her earnestly.
"How can you not be interested? Let me tell you, you need to improve your social competitiveness. If you don't learn more things, how can you find a job in the future? You don't plan to live off others all the time, do you? I don't think it's a good idea to always live in the Mu Mansion..."
Lu Xue walked very fast, leaving Yan Hua behind. After just a few steps, she slammed the door shut with a bang.
Yan Hua was a step too late and got snubbed. He immediately touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.
After Lu Xue returned to the room, she thought of what Yan Hua had just said to her and found it a bit funny.
But then she remembered that she had a mission when she returned to the Mu Mansion this time. She didn't plan to live under the same roof with Ding Muyun and Mu Ziyue for a long time, and naturally didn't plan to get along well with them.
The top priority should be to quickly dig out clues about that old artist from Mu Yuze and break through her own bottleneck as soon as possible.
On this day, Lu Xue stayed in the studio, but was always dissatisfied with the techniques of her paintings. Finally, she came out of the studio dejectedly.
She was usually a carefree and extremely sunny person. Only when she encountered problems with painting in the studio would she seem a bit listless and absent - minded.
When Mu Yuze came back in the evening and saw Lu Xue, she was sitting lazily curled up on the sofa with her hair loose, looking like a forlorn hermit cut off from the world.
Mu Yuze stopped in his tracks and sized her up for a while. A smile suddenly curved his lips.
This girl didn't seem to know what she was thinking. Her eyes were blank as she stared up at the sky outside the window. She looked as if she were an old Taoist monk about to enter a state of meditation.
"Do you want to have dinner with me tonight?" Mu Yuze asked.
He had been working overtime in the company these days and rarely came home. Without Ding Muyun and Mu Ziyue at home, it suddenly became quiet.
Mu Yuze suddenly felt that it was actually a nice feeling to have some alone time with Lu Xue like this.
When Lu Xue looked up and saw Mu Yuze coming home, a glimmer of light finally shone in her eyes.
Actually, she had been waiting for Mu Yuze to come back for the past two days because she had so many things she wanted to ask him.
At the dinner table, the two sat opposite each other in silence, only lowering their heads to pick up their own dishes. In fact, both of them had something on their minds. They wanted to ask some questions but didn't know where to start.
After a while, Mu Yuze said,
"I heard that Yan Hua came to see you today."
Lu Xue nodded.
"Yes, he did."
This brief answer made the air around them fall silent again.
After a while, Lu Xue asked again,
"I heard that you've been very busy these days, working overtime in the company, right?"
Mu Yuze also nodded.
"Yes, I have."
So the conversation stalled again. The two continued to lower their heads and eat the food in their bowls. They couldn't find a new topic for a long time.
After another while, Lu Xue thought she might as well just come straight to the point.
Going around in circles like this, she didn't know when they would stop. After thinking for a while, she said,
"Actually, I have something to ask you. Can you do me a favor?"
Mu Yuze looked up, seemingly a bit surprised that Lu Xue would ask him for help.
He straightened his back slightly and asked politely,
"What is it? Is there anything I can do?"
Lu Xue nodded, then took out a small note from her pocket.
The note had the name of the old artist she was looking for after returning to China this time. She had written down the Chinese, English, and other language versions of the name on it and showed it to Mu Yuze.
Mu Yuze recognized it at a glance. It was the name of an old artist from his planning case not long ago.
However, this old artist had retired for a long time and was not willing to accept any invitations from the outside world. After layers of discussions in the company meeting, the name of this artist was finally crossed out.
Mu Yuze just didn't expect that the thing Lu Xue wanted him to help with was actually finding someone.
Such an obscure artist. If you asked people in the outside media or in public opinion, probably no one would know.
Unless it was a very senior person in the circle, who would take such pains to investigate all the Chinese and English names of this artist in such detail.
Mu Yuze didn't doubt that even the people in the curatorial company would be stunned for a moment when they saw this list for the first time, but this girl Lu Xue actually knew.
He was a bit surprised and thus took another look at Lu Xue.
Lu Xue asked him,
"Can you find this person's address or contact information for me? If you can, it would be a great help to me."
Mu Yuze thought for a while and then said,
"Why do you want to find him?"
Lu Xue lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
"You don't need to ask about this. Just tell me if you can find him. I heard from Yan Hua that your company is deeply involved in the art circle, so you should be an insider, right?"
Mu Yuze thought for a moment and didn't make any over - confident promises.
