The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy Chapter 1180 – Chapter 1180 What a Pity

1180 What a Pity

“Of course, I’ll like it.”

Shen Li’s lips curved up.

After all, from the design to the construction and the decoration style of the gallery, Gu Tingyun had specifically asked for the people to design it according to her preferences.

How could she not like it?

Gu Tingyun could not help but laugh.

“You haven’t even seen it, yet you’re already saying that you like it? You’re very much like your mother in this aspect.”

Shen Li was stunned.

She had rarely heard Gu Tingyun mention Gu Tingyin.

Gu Tingyun recalled the past, and a sense of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

“In the past, your mother was the only girl in the family so everyone doted on her. She was also a very sweet person and since she was young, she had never disliked any gift that was given to her. It was only once when I gave her a caterpillar and she cried when she opened the box.”

Shen Li’s eyes widened.

Gu Tingyun looked gentle, but there was much more to that unassuming exterior. It was hard to imagine that he would actually do such a thing.

“What happened after that?”

“Later on, your grandfather became very angry and wanted to beat me. Even your grandmother couldn’t persuade him otherwise.”

Among his siblings, the age difference between him and Gu Tingyin was the smallest, so they had always hung out together.

How could the little boy not be mischievous? That time, he had been bold enough to deliberately put a fat caterpillar into a very exquisite box. To show his sincerity, he had even specially used a ribbon to tie a bow around the box for the caterpillar.

The result was that the little princess had immediately burst into tears out of fright, and he had been sternly reprimanded by the whole family.

Shen Li was silent.

Old Master Gu must have been really angry to say that he would beat him.

Gu Tingyin’s status in the family was evident.

“However, in the end, they didn’t punish me.”

Gu Tingyun leaned back in his chair. Even though it had happened many years ago, it was still fresh in his mind.

He laughed.

“When your mother saw that I was about to be beaten, she ran in front of me to stop it. She cupped that caterpillar in her hands and cried until she was out of breath. Then she said that she really liked this gift.”

In the end, Old Master Gu had not touched him and had gone to coax the little princess.

Gu Tingyin had even specially raised that little caterpillar.

Of course, she was still afraid. Every time she went to feed the caterpillar, she would take a long time to psych herself for it.

However, she still kept it for a long time. Later, when the caterpillar died, she had even cried.

Gu Tingyun turned his head to look at Shen Li, and it seemed as if something surged in his eyes. After a long time, he smiled and said, “That’s why I said, Ah Li, you and your mother are really very similar.”

…

The car slowly came to a stop.

The driver said, “Third Master, Miss Shen Li, we’re here.”

Gu Tingyun got out of the car, followed by Shen Li.

There were already people waiting there. When they saw them, they immediately bowed.

“Third Master, Miss Shen Li, please come in. ”

Shen Li looked up.

It was a unique building with a total of three floors. The lower part of the wall was made of white embossed sculptures while the upper part was made of glass.

The design of the entire gallery was simple and elegant, and the colors used were particularly clean and transparent.

“Let’s go in and take a look,” said Gu Tingyun as he led Shen Li inside.

The interior design of the gallery was even more exquisite. There was a spiral wooden stairway, a marble floor that was so shiny that it could reflect a person, and wall paintings made of shimmering mother-of-pearl.

Shen Li had seen the design before, but seeing it with her own eyes was a different story.

The entire space was vast and quiet. Just by standing there, a rich sense of artistic beauty seemed to hit one in the face.

However, there were no paintings on the wall yet.

Gu Tingyun showed Shen Li around as he looked at her.

“It looks like you really like this place.”

Shen Li gently nodded.

“Thank you, Third Uncle.”

“No need to thank me. If you like it, you can hold an art exhibition here in the future.” Gu Tingyun laughed.

Shen Li paused and said honestly, “That’ll probably take a long time. I don’t have many paintings left in my possession.”

Most of her previous paintings had been sold.

Lu Huaiyu owned most of them, but Shen Li felt that persuading him to put them on display for others would be a difficult task.

Gu Tingyun thought for a moment and guessed what she meant.

“That’s fine. This gallery is yours anyway. You can hold an art exhibition or treat it as your own personal gallery. It’s up to you.”

Shen Li’s peach blossom eyes curved into beautiful arcs.

“Alright,” she said.

“There’s a lounge and a studio upstairs. Shall we go take a look?”

“Yes.”

…

It was already past six o’clock when they finally finished visiting the entire gallery.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the transparent glass, casting a warm glow on the ground.

Shen Li’s phone rang and she answered it.

“Grandma?”

Old Madam Gu’s voice was gentle.

“Ah Li, I heard you went to the gallery with Tingyun?”

Shen Li nodded her head.

“Are you coming back for dinner later?”

Shen Li looked at Gu Tingyun with an inquiring expression.

“Third Uncle, Grandma asked if we’re going back to the old residence for dinner tonight.”

Gu Tingyun smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I was planning to take you back there after we finished taking a look around here.”

Shen Li understood and said into the phone, “Grandma, Third Uncle and I will go back later.”

Naturally, Old Madam Gu was happy.

“Alright, we’ll be waiting for you then.”

Shen Li ended the phone call and was about to put the phone away when she suddenly saw a promotional message pop up on the screen.

[ The latest news! Former executive director and vice president of Yu Corporation, Yu Ming, has reported the Yu Corporation for tax evasion and the massive transfer of assets overseas, causing the loss of state-owned assets! ]

Shen Li’s eyebrows raised.

Without any hesitation, she clicked onto the article.

– Yu Ming had actually reported his own corporation!

The incident happened so suddenly, but because it involved the Yu Corporation, the news had quickly exploded on the Internet the moment it was released!

Shen Li’s first thought was that Yu Ming had gone crazy.

With such a serious accusation, even if the Yu Corporation was not completely destroyed, it would still be in dire straits!

She was obviously not the only one who was shocked by this news. The front row of the comment section was full of question marks.

[??? What the f*ck? Am I seeing wrongly? Did Yu Ming just turn in his own family’s company? ]

[ I heard that Old Master Yu is seriously ill, and the Yu family is fighting internally. This person couldn’t win against his younger brother, and he was previously removed from his position within the Yu Corporation. So, is this… his revenge? ]

[ No wonder! Since he can’t have it, he decides to destroy it? ]

[ Tsk, it looks like this person is quite serious. Once the crime of this report is confirmed, the entire Yu family’s business will be finished, right? Even though he lost his fight for the family’s assets, did he have to go to this extent? It’s really possible that the family will lose everything this time! ]

[ The person above might not know this, but this man is Yu Cheng’s father. Yu Cheng was sentenced to life imprisonment and had a drug addiction. His life was ruined. This pretty much means that Yu Ming is no different from never having an heir. Why would he care much? ]

[ Hehe! The Yu family of Haicheng? I’m happy to see this! Check it out! The clearer the investigation, the better! ]

…

“Ah Li, we’re back home.”

Gu Tingyun called out to her.

Shen Li looked up and suddenly realized something.

She raised her phone.

“Third Uncle, this matter with the Yu family… Is it…?”

Gu Tingyun glanced at the article indifferently and raised his eyebrows.

“Ah, what a pity. The contract with the Yu Corporation was just about to be signed.

“It looks like it won’t work out now.

He smiled.

“What a pity.”
