Jiaojiao didn’t know why this painting caught her eye the moment she stepped into the room, although there were countless ink paintings on this floor, but the first one she saw was this one beside the staircase.

The Yuan Family truly had a rich heritage, with a large set of sofas placed right in the middle of the hall, and all the furniture around looked very high-end, even the large vase in the corner, Jiaojiao guessed, might be an antique.

Jianguo also clearly felt it and, unusually for him, seemed a bit constrained.
