429 An unforeseen event

Translator:JTJTY97 | Editor: JTJTY97 /Sparrow Translations

At the art exhibition center.

A pregnant lady was walking around at the art gallery. Everyone was stunned when they saw her. Then, a beautiful lady involuntarily said, “Sis, your stomach is so big and you look like you’re about to give birth. Why are you here at the art exhibition?”

The lady smiled. “I’ve always loved Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s flora and fauna artworks. Today, I want my unborn child to look at the artworks through my eyes. I hope he can develop an interest in art in the future.”

The people around her laughed. “It’s indeed a pretty good experience. However, where are your family members? Isn’t it inconvenient for you to be here alone?”

The pregnant lady smiled. “They just went to the washroom.”

Then, she stood before Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s most renown flora and fauna artwork. “This ‘Hundred flowers fighting to bloom’ is his best artwork. Today, there were people who offered three million dollars for it but he couldn’t bear to sell it. I guess that’s what makes it even more valuable.”

A man beside her smiled. “If I didn’t see the artwork there, I’d have said that this one is the most magnificent floral artwork. However, the ‘Hundred birds looking up to the Phoenix’ artwork is inarguably the most magnificent one here. I’ve seen many art exhibitions and a lot of vintage works by grandmasters in the past but they can’t match up to this one.”

The pregnant lady’s eyes lit up when she heard what the man said. “Which one is it?”

The middle-aged man pointed forward. “It’s the one there. There are quite a lot of people there. Everyone’s been praising it. It’s impressive. Your first look at it will make it seem like it’s come to life. You will be mesmerized by it after a few looks. It’s simply too grand and captivating. Although Master Lin is an unknown man, the value and precision of this artwork is definitely one of the best. If not, it might even be the best. Perhaps even Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s best artwork can’t match up to it.”

The pregnant lady was stunned. “That can’t be…”

“It’s true. Go have a look and you’ll know what I’m saying,” the middle-aged man smiled and said.

The pregnant lady touched Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s ‘Hundred flowers’ artwork and went forward. She wanted to see the ‘Hundred birds’ drawing if it was that mesmerizing and captivating.

When a bunch of men and women saw the pregnant lady walking away from the ‘Hundred flowers’ artwork, they frowned. However, they still followed her.

“Change of target.”

“Hundred birds looking up to the Phoenix.”

The pregnant lady was mumbling to herself but nobody heard what she was saying.

‘Hundred birds looking up to the Phoenix.’

The pregnant woman stood before the artwork and she looked at it closely. She realized that it was indeed extraordinary. What the person had used to describe it was extremely accurate.

Yue Qiu Ju Shi’s best artwork couldn’t even match up to this. It was literally on another level.

The ‘Hundred flowers’ artwork was considered to be one of the best of the arts industry and it was valued at three million dollars. That was because Yue Qiu Ju Shi was still alive. If he died, the price would definitely skyrocket. It was way better than the typical vintage artworks. Furthermore, it would be more exclusive as a collector’s item.

However, after looking at this artwork, the pregnant lady had a change of mind. The price was no longer based on time and its history. It depended on the artwork itself and even if the artist wasn’t famous, it didn’t matter.

Because this artwork’s technique and charm could negate the effects of other factors.

She just stood in front of the artwork silently and the surrounding art lovers gradually moved behind as they saw that she was a pregnant lady. The artwork wasn’t something that could be fully appreciated by the naked eye. It had to be enjoyed slowly because this would allow one to feel the emotions being conveyed by it.

The artwork had such a high value as a collector’s piece.

The pregnant lady only had that in mind.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, the pregnant lady was in pain and she held onto her stomach. She slowly kneeled on the ground and liquid started to flow out in between her legs.

The surrounding crowd was stunned when they saw this sight. They hadn’t expected a pregnant lady to collapse in front of this artwork.

Then, a man rushed over and asked anxiously, “Ma’am, what’s wrong?”

The pregnant lady cried, “I don’t know. I was too affected by this artwork and now my abdomen hurts. I think I’m going to give birth.”

The man raised his head and took out his work permit. “Everyone, I’m a doctor. This woman is about to give birth. If anyone of you knows anything about this, please come over and help.”

The crowd just looked at each other curiously. Who would know how to do it?

Then, a young couple came forward and said, “We’re here to help.”

The security officer came and when he saw the liquid on the floor, he was stunned. “Did her water bag burst?”

The man nodded. “Yes, I called for the ambulance but she has to give birth now. If not, the mother and the child would be in danger. Please take some cloth here and block this area out. Also, if there’s warm water, please bring some too.”

The surrounding people quickly excused themselves. They didn’t stand around to watch to prevent affecting the procedures. The security officers were also at a loss as it was the first time they had encountered this.

Some courageous men went to tear down some of the curtains. Then, they raised it up, “Doctor, don’t worry about other things. Leave it to us.”

The doctor nodded. “Alright, thank you.”

“Ah!”

There were a series of cries and the people were anxious after hearing it.

The security officer in charge quickly went behind to inform Yue Qiu Ju Shi.

But when he reached the outside of the private room, he was denied entry.

“You’re not allowed to enter. There’s something ongoing inside.”

He anxiously replied, “No, something happened outside. We need Master Yue Qiu’s help.”

The person guarding the door hesitated for a moment before he opened the door to let him in.

Then, in the room.

Lin Fan stood before a drawing table and he was drawing something.

The man wanted to say something but Yue Qiu Ju Shi glared at him, implying that he should keep quiet.

Lin Fan was busy drawing and didn’t raise his head. He just said, “Go out, do not disrupt me.”

The people in the room looked at Yue Qiu Ju Shi as if they were asking him to get the person out.

Yue Qiu Ju Shi looked at him and raised his hand, gesturing for him to go out.

The person helplessly left the room.

Lin Fan looked at him and smirked.

Outside.

The pregnant lady’s cries were a little frightening. The people around her were extremely anxious and some young men took the initiative to ensure that the procedures could be done smoothly. They hadn’t expected this to happen but they had to do something to help.

Then, they looked at the area which was covered by curtains. They wondered how the situation was.

But they felt that it must have been an extremely dangerous case after hearing her cries. They just hoped that the mother and child would be safe.

Within the covered area.

The lady was squatting there and she was expressionless. She purposely made the cries and then she nodded at the two people beside her. They were going to switch the artwork for a fake one.
