Chapter 586: Putting on a False Front
"The Moon and Sixpence?" Chu Ning asked in astonishment when she saw the cover of the book that Wen An had placed on the coffee table.
Wen An nodded and said while reminiscing, "When I was in university, my teacher had recommended this book to me, but I didn’t read it at that time. I felt that reading was quite boring. Some things still had to be done by myself to get a different type of knowledge."
"I’ve read this book before. It’s said that the main character’s prototype is based on the painter Gauguin; it’s quite meaningful," Chu Ning said with interest.
"Just a person who does whatever he wants." Wen An expressed his opinion.
Wen An added, "I don’t agree with the protagonist abandoning his family in pursuit of his dream of painting. The series of events that happened after makes me feel that he is a completely selfish person."
"Rather than being selfish, it’s more like being self-aware. However, people are different. When reading the same book, everyone’s views are varied. Just treat it as a story. Just like Village Chief Wen — on the surface, he looks very relaxed and like he has nothing to do, but in fact, he’s still worried about Qinghe Village, right?" Chu Ning said with a smile.
"There are always some people who think they’re smart. They won’t wake up until they really suffer." Wen An felt a little helpless. The situation in the village had been a little off these two days. As the Chief, he knew very well.
Zhong Liang had secretly roped in the residents of Qinghe Village to collaborate with Yang Feng. He thought that he had done it very stealthily and that no third party would be aware of it. In fact, when he had just finished the secret meeting and distributed the money, Wen An had already figured out the context of the matter within half an hour.
