Chapter 1408

I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Miss Qiao. That painting is my collection and is not for sale. ” Zhou Cheng paused for a moment. ” But if Miss Qiao likes it, you can come over and admire it. It’s rare to meet someone who likes my work. ”

Zhou Cheng gestured for Qiao Mu to go ahead, and Qiao Mu nodded impolitely before looking at Li Yan. ” Feel free to take a look around. I’ll go over and take a look. ”

Li Yan did not say anything. Qiao Mu did not want him to be present, so he waited by the side.

Qiao Mu followed Zhou Cheng to Shu Xinyu’s portrait. Qiao Mu sized up the portrait. She did look somewhat similar to Shu Xinyu when she was younger, but Zhou Cheng did not notice it immediately. It was very obvious that he had almost completely forgotten about Shu Xinyu’s appearance.

Zhou Cheng looked at Qiao Mu, then at the portrait, and smiled. ” If I were to look at you from your facial features alone, I would have thought that you were her daughter. You do look a little similar. ”

The corners of Qiao Mu’s lips twitched, and she asked nonchalantly, “”Mr. Zhou, after so many years, do you still remember the person in the portrait?”

...

” Of course I do. Her name is engraved on the back of this painting. ” As he spoke, Zhou Cheng took down the painting and showed it to Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu took a glance. Although it was within her expectations, her heart still twitched when she saw the words ” Shu Xinyu. ”

Zhou Cheng smiled and said, ” Although so many years have passed and she has forgotten almost everything except for this painting, I still remember that when I painted this painting, she insisted that I write her name on the back. It was also at that time that I developed the habit of writing the date, location, and scene on the back of every painting. ”

” Mr. Zhou hasn’t contacted her for so many years? ” Qiao Mu asked.

Zhou Cheng shook his head and looked at Qiao Mu. ” However, it’s also fate. Two people who have no relationship at all would look very alike. Furthermore, you’re so fond of this painting after seeing it. ”

Qiao Mu sneered in her heart. She hoped that it had nothing to do with Shu Xinyu.

“Is Miss Qiao 20 years old?” Zhou Cheng asked.

“I just turned 20 in May.” Qiao Mu spoke very clearly. She wanted to see what Zhou Cheng’s expression was, but there was nothing. The other party was smiling very indifferently.

” In that case, Miss Qiao is indeed not her daughter. When you were born, I was only separated from her for half a year. Even if she married someone else and had children, it wouldn’t be so fast. I’m still thinking too much. ”

Zhou Cheng’s words stunned Qiao Mu. When he mentioned the child, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him. His expression was so relaxed that it did not seem like he was faking it.@@novelbin@@

” Don’t you think that she didn’t tell you that she was pregnant with your child? ” she asked jokingly. The timing is quite coincidental.”

Zhou Cheng laughed when he heard Qiao Mu’s words. ” Could it be that all children your age have such vivid imaginations? This kind of thing might happen to others, but it definitely won’t happen to Xinyu.”

“Why are you so sure?” Qiao Mu continued to ask.

“She was too selfish. At that time, she was a little famous in the fashion design industry. My family arranged for me to go abroad. I planned to bring her along, but for her own career, she refused to leave with me. She even threatened me and refused to let me go.” At this point, perhaps he had thought of something unhappy, the smile on Zhou Cheng’s face disappeared and he sighed. “”If the ending back then wasn’t so awkward, the ending might have been different.”
