Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

Ishino Koji took a deep breath and pushed the door open, his face full of guilt like thick ink.

“Teacher, that exhibition…”

He gritted his teeth and looked at Tang Wenwan. After not seeing him for a few days, this young man who was once as handsome as a candle in the wind had lost all his brilliance.

"I... apologize to you on behalf of my father."

Koji Ishino fell to his knees with a thud, his eyes red and his voice choked.

"This...really you did it?"

Tang Wenwan was frightened by his sudden apology. She looked at Jiang Kaichen and Guan Ben Liangxiong and asked in a trembling voice.

Perhaps because he felt too guilty, Ishino Koji knelt on the ground tremblingly, immersed in his own emotions, and even ignored Tang Wenwan's questioning.

Seeing him admitting his guilt without even making a defense, the prince, who had been calm and composed, became furious. He picked up the paperweight in his hand and threw it at him in a rage, asking in disbelief.

"Did you really steal the teacher's Arhat painting and exhibit it in that damn place?"

"Bang" sound.

The metal paperweight instantly stained a bloodstain on Ishino Koji's forehead.

"W-w-what?"

Finally he raised his head, his face covered in blood, and asked as if he was in a trance.

"Those paintings of Wanwan...did you take them back to them?"

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Kaichen calmed down. He leaned towards Ishino Koji and asked, and his questioning tone clearly began to loosen his stance.

"Take it back? The teacher's painting?"

Maybe it was due to depression or because he was hit on the head, but Ishino Koji's reaction was clearly not up to par with their questioning.

The three people sitting at the tea table exchanged glances with each other, feeling both understood and a little troubled.

"It's not you?"

Guan Benliang's tone finally softened a little. In his heart, being betrayed by Ishino Koji hurt him more than the attacks of public opinion.

"No...it's not me...

I have no idea how they do it!

By the time I wanted to stop it, it was too late. I couldn't steal it at all. Because of this, my dad has grounded me to my house until now!"

Ishino Koji's reflex arc finally came to an end and he realized what the prince said. His eyes widened and he looked like he couldn't believe that someone would doubt him. He stood up and shook his hands violently, trying to defend himself.

There was a flash of surprise in Jiang Kaichen's eyes, and he stared at the wound on Ishino Koji's forehead thoughtfully.

"I don't think it's Ishino either."

After hearing the clear denial, Tang Wenwan breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to help Ishino Koji up, and reluctantly helped him check the wound on his head.

"That's interesting..."

Ever since he helped Tang Wenwan escape last time, Jiang Kaichen's impression of Ishino Koji has improved dramatically. He was also unwilling to believe that such a simple child could do such a sinister thing.

He looked at Guan Ben Liangxiong, his eyes full of questions, trying to find some clues from his face. Guan Ben Liangxiong was obviously also confused and felt deeply helpless about this.

"Don't jump to conclusions. We should rethink this carefully," said Guan Benliangxiong.

"Now that things have come to this, perhaps we should consider how to stop the loss in time."

Jiang Kaichen echoed, frowning slightly as he fell into deep thought.

"I'll find a way to steal it!"

Ishino Koji, whose forehead was still being pressed by Tang Wenwan, twisted his body and shouted. He had been thinking of burning his boats on the way here.

"late!"

Guan Ben Liangxiong looked at him with disdain and replied.

"Public opinion has already reached this point. Taking action now will only give them a better opportunity to create topics."

"Then we file a lost property declaration and distance ourselves from them?"

Tang Wenwan asked tentatively.

"That's just scratching the surface. They had already made all the preparations to control public opinion before doing this. That just helps them create topics."

Jiang Kaichen shook his head and analyzed.

"Creating topics?"

Tang Wenwan chewed the word over and over in her mouth.

"Can we also create a topic?"

She analyzed in a low voice.

A whisper brought three inquiring glances.

"What topic can we create?" Ishino Koji asked in confusion, covering his wound and falling into deep thought.

Guan Ben Liangxiong and Jiang Kaichen once again exchanged meaningful glances, and their eyes reflected excitement at the same time.

"Wanwan, do you still remember what the stolen Luohan looked like?"

Jiang Kaichen asked excitedly.

"It should be the batch of drafts I tried with Yancai recently..."

Tang Wenwan cast a puzzled look at him as she pondered.

“So it’s in color?”

Guan Ben Liangxiong also stood up and walked towards Tang Wenwan's manuscripts which were all over the wall and floor with his hands behind his back.

"Well... Ishino Koji gave me some inspiration, and recently all of my attempts have been experimental."

Tang Wenwan answered seriously, following their thoughts and carefully thinking about the connection between the painting style and the topic.

"Is this all the case?"

Jiang Kaichen also walked to the pile of manuscripts and examined them carefully one by one.

"Well, these are basically the styles lately."

Tang Wenwan also walked over to them curiously, tilting her head and looking at them together.

"Wanwan, what do you think is the connection between your Luohan and anti-peace?"

Jiang Kaichen continued to ask persistently.

"How can there be a connection? There can't be a correlation!"

Tang Wenwan answered excitedly that her values ​​did not allow such a possibility to exist.

"Then do you think these Luohans could be related to my peace initiative?"

Guan Ben Liangxiong quickly understood Jiang Kaichen's idea and assisted him.

"this…"

Tang Wenwan was stuck.

Frankly speaking, her original intention of painting these arhats was very simple. She just painted them because she wanted to.

As for the comments made by those outsiders on her works that could be seen by all, she actually never really understood them.

"You may have."

Jiang Kaichen and Guan Benliangxiong both confirmed and laughed in the face of Tang Wenwan and Ishino Koji's puzzled looks.

"Teacher, I have decided to draw Arhats for the latest batch of royal amulets as well."

Guan Ben Liangxiong suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Yes, I'm going to paint the Arhat that is being exhibited at the Yasukuni Shrine this time!"

Jiang Kaichen added, understandingly.

Tang Wenwan and Ishino Koji looked at each other, and the confused expressions on their faces turned into emoticons that said "Are you crazy..."

"Why don't we use our own tricks to bring up the topic?"

Guan Ben Liangxiong explained excitedly.

"I followed my teacher to paint the latest style of rock-colored arhat paintings, and then gave the righteous meaning of arhat paintings and the concept of peace."

"Yes, good wind will help you soar into the sky! Hahahahaha..."

This time Jiang Kaichen really laughed happily.

"I can even imagine the shit-eating expressions on those old ghosts' faces when our new amulet comes out."

"Yes, the true right to interpret a work has always belonged to the author himself."

This time, Koji Ishino also understood a little bit.

“You are going to stage a resurrection for them, so that they know that the real clown is actually themselves.”

Guan Ben Liangxiong and Jiang Kaichen finally gave a gratified look this time, showing that the young man is teachable.
