The Versatile Master Artist

Chapter 165 - 111: Failed Attempt to Please (Part 2)

Upon pushing the door open, she happened to hear a man enthusiastically suggesting.

A G-Dragon concert in Tokyo?

Flying to Tokyo just for a concert on the weekend during school, then flying back by Monday.

Is this really the life that Miss Shengzi lives?

Truly luxurious... and yet so nice.

Mona couldn’t hide her envy in her heart.

"Let’s see what Shengzi thinks. If she’s willing to go, I have no objection, but Shengzi has been quite busy lately."

Mrs. Sakai replied nonchalantly, then asked Mona.

"What do you need?"

"Hello, Professor Cruz, this is my prepared portfolio..."

"Sorry, Miss, I have something to discuss right now, I don’t have the time to look at your portfolio."

Mrs. Sakai’s indifference was beyond Mona’s expectations.

She didn’t even lift her head as she interrupted Mona, waving her hand to indicate she couldn’t bother with her now.

"Oh, alright then."

Mona felt a bit disappointed.

It seemed her timing wasn’t great, leaving her with no chance to express her prepared arguments.

It felt like pouring her enthusiasm into cotton, leaving a sense of disappointment.

"Professor, my name is Mona Sandunu, I really want to join your advanced class. This is my introduction, sorry for the disturbance."

She could only briefly mention her name, leaving the envelope on the office coffee table. She turned around, pushed open the office door, and prepared to leave.

"Miss, wait a moment."

Lady Sakai seemed touched by this name.

She called out to Mona, who was about to leave.

"Are you Sandunu, the female student council president who received flowers at the opening ceremony?"

Lady Sakai raised her head, her tone quite playful.

The blonde woman with blue eyes looked Mona up and down, saying, "Indeed, a very pretty girl."

"Quite heroic. Do boys these days like this style of girl?"

She asked the young man on the side with an inquisitive tone, "But I think Shengzi is cuter."

Koshiro Tarou had just returned from Myanmar this week.

His "fiancée," Koizumi Katsuko, had inexplicably decided to write a ridiculous paper with that dogshit poor boy from Myanmar.

What annoyed Koshiro the most was.

Faced with Shengzi’s absurd antics, the Sakai couple actually agreed.

Koshiro Tarou tried several times to find out the specifics of the paper.

In the end, even the always supportive Mrs. Sakai politely declined.

Professor Jiu Kai Yicheng expressed even more directly—"This is an important discovery; it’s inconvenient for outsiders to know before the paper is published."

Listen,

Is this even something a human would say!?

Not to mention what kind of great discovery could there be from a poor backwater like Myanmar.

When, compared to that local small-time painter from Yangon, did he, Koshiro Tarou, become an outsider?

The only possibly good news was.

Mrs. Sakai invited him to Myanmar to serve as an assistant for Miss Shengzi’s advanced class at school.

This at least showed that in Mrs. Sakai’s heart, maybe she still sided with him.

However, he could feel,

That even Mrs. Sakai seemed to be not as warm to him as she used to be.

If it had been half a year ago, Lady Sakai would have eagerly persuaded Shengzi to go to the concert with him, but now the reply had turned to "see what Shengzi herself wants."

This gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Hearing Mrs. Sakai’s question, Koshiro Tarou’s eyes casually swept over Mona’s body, wrapped in her school uniform.

Indeed, a very beautiful girl,

Especially since her entire outfit, from the brown headband to the lace stockings, was meticulously groomed, spotless.

Both pretty and heroic.

She had quite the aura of a youthful version of a strong woman,

Adding a unique charm to this female student council president, like a cold Martini cocktail, making Koshiro Tarou itch a bit when he scrutinized her.

However,

Confronted with the future mother-in-law’s sudden daunting question, Koshiro Tarou wasn’t foolish enough not to know the correct answer.

"Just a small-town girl from Yangon, no match for Miss Shengzi."

He shook his head.

His words were undeniably hurtful, but Koshiro Tarou did it on purpose.

He had seen plenty of beautiful women.

As the future heir of the Xiaosong Gallery, the competition among agents under the Grand Gallery to snatch famous painters is notoriously fierce.

The art world is not short of dissolute old scoundrels like Picasso surrounded by multiple lovers.

Sending a beautiful male or female model is just one of the basic tactics.

Koshiro Tarou, influenced from childhood, had long been a prominent figure in the circles of romance.

Female students wanting to appeal to and connect with Mrs. Sakai were even less noteworthy in his eyes.

He didn’t mind trampling on someone’s dignity to show his loyalty to his mother-in-law.

Upon hearing the young man openly call her a small-town girl,

Mona blinked her eyes hard, her face still maintaining a modest and respectful smile.

In Indian family upbringing, society is a discernibly hierarchical ladder.

At home, she was the highborn lady in the eyes of the servants.

In relationships, the better quality of her naturally required Gu Weijing to stretch himself just to have the right to hold her hand.

And Mona only needed to think about whether she could reluctantly offer him a little love.

However, in front of the high and mighty Lady Sakai,
