Chapter 542: Mingchen Studio

"Gloomy, you say? My guesthouse has never been called gloomy before!" The old man poked the floor with his cane, visibly perturbed.

Chiang Xiao had never encountered such a situation and was somewhat baffled by it.

Apart from that painting, the guesthouse really could be described as bright and clean, well-maintained, and should have been a comfortable place to stay.

"Dad, why don't we take down the painting and see what happens?"

"Take it down then!" the old man said sternly. "Go call Ah Qiang over."

"Alright."

The woman dashed upstairs and soon came down with a tall, middle-aged man. The man glanced at Chiang Xiao and began to remove the painting.

With nothing else to do, Chiang Xiao watched the proceedings from the sidelines.

Once the painting was down, the wall behind it revealed a large, unsightly patch where it had been repaired. However, to Chiang Xiao's surprise, it indeed looked more pleasing to the eye without the painting.
