Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

"Breaking the old rules of aristocratic families collecting paintings?"

Amid Tang Junshan's gasp, the old man of the Tang family looked at Zhang Mingxuan directly and repeated his words with a raised eyebrow, as if he had heard a huge joke.

The old man's eyes were already cloudy, but his dignity from years of authority was not diminished at all. He looked at Zhang Mingxuan with a slightly feigned expression, and kept all the words of the head of the Zhang family in his chest, not daring to say another word.

"Uncle Zhang, you didn't accept my brother's favor and come here to lobby for him, did you?"

Just when the already awkward atmosphere in the entire reception room was descending, Tang Wenwan's smiling teasing was like heavenly sound, injecting new inspiration into Zhang Mingxuan's suddenly deadened thoughts.

"Uh~ Hehe, hehe~"

Zhang Mingxuan quickly let out the embarrassment stuck in his throat with a few dry laughs.

"Mr. Tang also has this idea? This is really a coincidence. It seems that I really need to pay a personal visit to the eldest son of the Tang family some other day. He not only helps me educate my son, but also shares many common views with me on market development."

He turned around and poured all his flattery onto Tang Wenwan. She dared to speak out at this point. How could a worldly-wise man like him not see the weight of this little girl's words in front of the old man?

"Yes, my grandfather always said that my brother was acting out of control all day long, and he warned him every day not to ruin the family tradition outside."

Seeing Zhang Mingxuan's excitement, the worldly-wise Tang Wenwan decisively took back the ladder she had handed out. She wanted him to express his attitude in person, as she couldn't serve as a mouthpiece for this old fox.

"No, no, Young Master Tang has always been a clear and bright figure in the circle, which is not something that ordinary people like us can get. However, a young man from an aristocratic family can also have such a pattern and mind that is open to the market. This makes the entire industry look at the Tang family with a different eye and have higher expectations!"

Zhang Mingxuan was choked by the little girl again, but he was used to it this time. He just looked at her meaningfully with his smiling eyes, and then turned around to sincerely praise the two patriarchs, Tang Junshan and Tang Yongdao.

"Young Master Tang's new exhibition is being held in the exhibition hall where my daughter works. I heard from my daughter that this project has become a sensation even before it was exhibited. Many upstarts have used their connections to find her and want to select Young Master's paintings."

"A new upstart?!"

This time, Mr. Tang really frowned, but he didn't look at Zhang Mingxuan. Instead, he turned to look at Tang Wenwan and asked.

"Oh, that's right. I've been having a headache about this for the past few days. The exhibition hasn't started yet, and all the paintings have been reserved. But most of the collectors are young people, and 70% of them are not affiliated with our original aristocratic families."

Tang Wenwan, who was asked the question, answered her grandfather's question with a serious expression this time. This was also one of the tasks she had to bring her grandfather out for today. While such a big thing happened in the Tang family, Tang Wensong was also in the embarrassment of being stuck in the same place.

"As you know, my brother's paintings are all in the expressionist style, which is indeed somewhat different from our family's traditional style. Although the market response is very good, the collector circles obviously cannot completely overlap."

She carefully gauged Tang Junshan's reaction with her eyes, and carefully chose words to help her brother describe the embarrassment in front of him. Tang Junshan should have been mentally prepared and had an idea to solve this contradiction when he knew his son was going to hold an exhibition, but the series of things about the family paintings being cursed suddenly popped up, so naturally he had no time to care about his son's little matter.

"Have those uncles from the noble families met recently?"

After listening to Tang Wenwan's explanation, Tang Yongdao did not make any statement. He pondered and tapped the table with his fingers a few times. Then he suddenly changed the subject and threw a new question to his son Tang Junshan.

"Uh~~ my uncles are either not in the country or are not feeling well and it is inconvenient to meet. I haven't made an appointment with any of them yet."

When asked the most embarrassing question, Tang Junshan glanced awkwardly at Zhang Mingxuan, a stranger who was still sitting in the hall. He coughed awkwardly and then replied to his father with a slightly aggrieved tone.

"Hmm~" Tang Yongdao didn't blame him, but just nodded slightly.

With the series of incidents happening one after another, it was expected that the noble families would panic and not know how to deal with the Tang family. This was also the reason why he did not call those old friends himself even when the situation had become serious enough to be reported in the media.

"Okay, tell me how you want to collect it. You are one of the new nobles that Wan'er mentioned, right?"

The old man closed his eyes and remained silent for a while. When everyone was holding their breath to the point of suffocating, he finally spoke.

"Ah~ yes~ that's right!"

It took Zhang Mingxuan a while to confirm that the old man was talking to him. He hesitated for a while before he reconnected the string that was about to break in his mind.

"I thought that if the old man agreed, our Zhang family would come forward and buy back the paintings that have been damaged at a premium. Our family does not believe in those fallacies and heresies. We will wait for the old man to ask for this favor. We will also have the opportunity to help with all our strength."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, then turned around to look at Tang Wenwan and added.

"If the old man can agree to my suggestion, it will not only give face to our Zhang family, but also give a step to all the new collectors in the market who admire the Tang family. At the same time, it will also set a precedent for the young master. In this way, the rumors outside will be refuted, and everyone will see the Tang family's open attitude towards the market."

Seeing that his words had caused the three members of the Tang family to fall into deep thought, Zhang Mingxuan clenched his fists and continued to attack, saying:

"Ms. Tang is right. The market is different now. Young people have their own world and ideas. The so-called aristocratic families are also being influenced and changed by different ideas. From this incident, we can see that their loyalty cannot withstand much test. Instead of waiting to be chosen or criticized by others, it is better to stick to being yourself and establish close relationships with people who truly appreciate you."

Fortunately, her brother was not asked to come. Tang Wenwan knew that Zhang Mingxuan's confident words had somewhat relaxed the stereotypes of the two Tang family patriarchs around him, but with his tone of forcing integration, if Tang Wensong was here, he would inevitably be coerced by this old fox.

She couldn't help but lower her brows and snorted in her heart, then raised her eyes and asked Zhang Mingxuan jokingly:

"My brother's paintings are easy to deal with, but do you really dare to keep those collections that have been damaged? Aren't you afraid that your words will come true?"

The painting curse incident that destroyed the Tang family in the previous life has been a knot in Tang Wenwan's heart that she has never been able to untie. This time, she wants to see who is the mastermind behind this.
