Jocelyn's words made everyone present take a cold breath.
Stan changed his face. Fearing that his grandfather would misunderstand him, he explained urgently, "This is what I bought from Uncle Leonard before. It's really only because I know you like Jason Hawk's calligraphy and paintings, I take the liberty to bring it here. It's not of the questionable origin and I mean nothing. Grandpa, please don't misunderstand me."
"All right." Mr. Morrison rebuked him, and looked very angry.
"Mr. Hawk is honest and upright. He is a model of our politicians. You can't even tell the origin of this painting. What else can you explain? Then, don't mention it any more. You put away this painting. Whether it is true or false, I shouldn't have seen it. Conduct yourself well.
After saying that, the old man turned around and looked cold, "Today, I have drunk the wedding wine. I have something else to deal with so I will leave first. Jocelyn and Arthur, you two stay here on the behalf of me."
The most terrible thing for the military and political families was to receive the things of questionable origin. Jocelyn's words were not exaggerated. If they didn't pay attention to it, they would really die of that. It had been polite enough for the old man just to leave.
As soon as the old man left, Stan looked angry and grim. Immediately, he and Monica made an excuse to let the crowd disperse and they went to the lounge in disgrace.
"When did you understand painting and calligraphy?" Julia Morrison stood aside and looked at Jocelyn suspiciously, "Who taught you that in your family?"
Jocelyn Tuner glanced at her and said, "I like that. So I just have studied that a little more."
"What are you proud of?" Julia Morrison was dissatisfied with her tone of voice when she spoke to her like this, "You just understand the pictures and calligraphy, which is not worthy being proud. I am really reluctant to stand with you."
Saying that, she walked away with her hand lifting her skirt.
Jocelyn longed for her to leave early. From the very beginning, her eyes had been following the direction that Stan and Monica went to.
