Chapter 254
Love Is Fair
Chapter 254 What Excellent Work I Have Done When they arrived at the Mazedew Museum, Halley took the lead and got out of the car. The sun was shining outside, and Hailey didnât wait for Owen, Owen found a place to park the car. As soon as he unbuckled his seatbelt, he felt dizzy. Recently, he often had a feeling of dizziness, sometimes accompanied by headaches and nausea. However, he remembered that the headache and nausea had been lasting for quite some time. He didnât know when it started. Perhaps it started when Hailey divorced him, or when he saw Elizaâs photo with different men at the wedding, or, at the moment he learned the truth back then⦠Now when he saw Elizaâs face and heard her name, he would have a sick feeling for no reason. It turned out that love would really disappear and shift. He didnât love Eliza any more. Would Hailey be the same? There was a beautiful courtyard behind the Mazedew Museum. It was the home of Mr. Sharman. Owen had several courtyards set aside for the jade carvers to work in, with tools and machines, all of which were placed inside. Although the courtyards were not large, they were well prepared. Jason wore special protective clothing, and led a group of jade carvers concentrated on work. Donald did not work, leisurely sitting on a rattan chair, eating snacks and drinking tea in a comfortable gesture. When he saw Hailey coming, he greeted her idly, âHi.â Hailey said hello, raised her eyes and swept over the broken jade fragments on the workbench. She didnât want to pay much attention to them. But once she glanced at them, her eyes were fixed, and she couldnât move any further.
Jason was holding a pen in his hand, carefully tracing the jade. When he raised his eyes slightly, he saw his precious granddaughter standing in front of the broken jade fragment, staring at it with big eyes. It was like a gray wolf seeing a white rabbit. It seemed she was attracted and wanted to do something. He said in a low voice, âHailey.â âYes,â Hailey answered, but her eyes didnât move immediately. She stared at a piece of purple jade for a long time before reluctantly looking away, raising hier eyes to see Jasonâs smiling, teasing eyes. She blushed and walked over to him with some embarrassment, saying, âHello, Grandpa.â
Owen stood in the doorway and saw the scene. He smiled unconsciously as the corners of his lips lifted. Jason took a pen from the workbench and gave it to Hailey, saying, âCome over and help me with the painting.
You can draw what you like, for example, distant mountains, pine branches, white clouds, as you like.â
âOkay.â Hailey subconsciously took the pen and naturally drew a few pine branches. When she finished, she remembered something, saying, âGrandpa, you can ask Grandpa Donald to help you.â Before Hailey handed the pen to Donald, Jason erunted, âDonât give it to him, his hands are smelly.â Donaldâs eyes widened and he sat up. He was about to make a retort when he saw his precious apprentice Owenâs eyes. He laid back down leisurely, saying, âYes, you are right. My hands are smelly.â
âWhatâs wrong with this old inan? Itâs unnormal for him not to sirupele after being mocked.â Hailey said to hersell and was confused. After a lone time of not paintine and carving things with her grandiather, she was happy today that she and her grandiather together finished the screen with the purple mountain.
Owen came over and rolled up his sleeves, saying, âWhat do you need? Iâll help you.â
Hailey glanced at his black shirt, only to understand why he was wearing a black shirt on such a hot day. It turned out that he was wearing a black shirt deliberately. What a foxy guy!
âNo need.â Hailey expressionlessly refused, âJust stay away from me.â
Owen rubbed his nose and knew he was disliked. Donald held his tea, glugging it down and grinning.
Jason was upset, saying, âDonald, be quiet or get the hell out of here!â
Owen and Donald, who were both disliked, looked at each other and silently shut up. It was obvious that Hailey was taught by Jason personally. The two peopleâs rhythm, habits, status, and some small movements were almost identical. Their actions were very synchronized.
Owen watched with his eyes glowing. For many nights, he held the rose seal and touched the gifts Hailey had left for him. Looking at the traces painted, carved and engraved on the gifts, he would wonder what kind of a gesture Hailey had made when she painted, carved and engraved them. But he could not imagine it.
Now, he finally had a chance to see her work carefully. As soon as she touched the jade, she looked very focused, as if there was nothing else in her eyes but the piece of jade in front of her. She held the pen and drew on it. She was rather professional and skillful. Various scenes were vividly depicted and outlined, as if they were alive and came to life.
When she put down the pen and picked up the carving knife, she looked different. When she put down the knife, she looked relaxed, as if the jade in her hand was just a childâs toy. But she was serious. Her wrist barely moved, only her nimble fingers were working faster and faster.
Owen was absorbed. He had seen jade carving before, but he had never seen a jade carver so relaxed. At this time, he only thought, âHow many days and nights it takes for her to be so skillful and professional?
She must have worked very hard. Words can deceive people, but the thick calluses on her fingers can not deceive others.â
âItâs done!â Hailey blew the hair in front of her forehead and smiled in satisfaction, praising herself, âWhat excellent work I have done!â
Owen never thought that she would say so. He was a little shocked. Then he couldnât hold his laughter and laughed out.
Feeling that someone was laughing at her, Hailey turned her head and saw Owenâs smile. It was a bright smile on a handsome face. She paused for a while and then muttered, âHum.â After the carving was done, she was ready to take it to polish.
A low voice suddenly came from behind her, âMaster Jade, you are awesome! You have indeed done wonderful work.â
Hailey did not turn around, only to examine her work, and then said calmly, âAfter all, it is fifty percent of the profit. I hope to earn more. I will get all the profit, so I am willing to make this effort.â In the matter of making money, Hailey was very serious.
Owen laughed. Before he could speak, Jasonâs body was tilted when he heard Haileyâs words. He couldnât be calm and shouted guiltily, âNonsense. Itâs I who get all the profit.â
Hailey looked back at the old man, and thought, âI have known what Grandpa is thinking. What an old fox!â Donald looked at the situation and shouted at Owen from a distance, âOwie, tell me. Who is going to get all the money?â
