Seeing that Qiao Xi had no intention of repenting, Jin Yan hurriedly rushed in front of Carter and said indignantly, âMadam Carter, I have to expose Miss Qiao in public. Her painting wasnât completed by her!â
After that, he looked at Qiao Xi and said angrily, âYou keep saying that you completed this painting alone, but I clearly saw the sketch of this painting in Senior Han Yinâs studio three years ago. These two paintings are almost identical. Itâs just that your painting has been refined, while Senior Han Yinâs work was just a sketch then. Do you still dare to say that you completed it yourself?â
Boom!!!
The entire venue was in an uproar as if a thunderclap had struck everyoneâs hearts.
Tang Ruge was extremely excited, but she still pretended to be surprised. âBrother Jin Yan, you mean that Senior Han Yin helped Xi Xi complete this painting? Does that mean Xi Xi knows Senior Han Yin?â
Jin Yan frowned. âI admire Senior Han Yin very much. With my understanding of her, she wonât complete paintings for others. Moreover, she has never taken in an apprentice.â
âThen where did Xi Xi get this painting? After all, this is Senior Han Yinâs painting!â Tang Ruge sighed, then looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief. âXi Xi, did Senior Han Yin give this painting to you? Of course, everyone will be happy that you brought Senior Han Yinâs painting to the exhibition, but you shouldnât have registered it under your name!â
Jin Yan still had a serious expression. âMiss Qiao, I hope you can give everyone an explanation for what happened today. Why is Senior Han Yinâs painting in your hands? Moreover, your name is on it. Youâre disrespecting your senior and the international oil painting exhibition!â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone revealed disdainful gazes. What genius painter? Now, it seemed that it was all a joke! Qiao Xi was clearly lacking in strength, so she brought Senior Han Yinâs painting to the exhibition.
âQiao Xi, why did you have to steal Senior Han Yinâs painting? She has so many fans in the oil painting world. Arenât you afraid that someone will expose you?â Tang Lingyun instantly became confident and criticized loudly.
The two professors had long noticed that Qiao Xiâs painting style was very similar to Han Yinâs. They originally thought that Qiao Xi was deliberately imitating Han Yinâs style, but who knew that this painting was Han Yinâs? This young lady was actually so bold to bring her seniorâs painting to the exhibition!
Tang Ruge pretended to be an elder and tried to persuade her. âXi Xi, if you really want to participate in the art exhibition, study hard for a few years. After all, youâre still young and will have a chance to participate in an art exhibition. However, you shouldnât have used Senior Han Yinâs paintings. If she finds out, sheâll definitely be unhappy.
âPreviously, I advised you to acknowledge Mr. Qi Zhong as your master with me, but you looked down on him and rejected him in public. Now⦠Sigh!â
Tang Ruge shook her head helplessly as if she really felt pity for Qiao Xi.
âBut youâve offended Mr. Qi Zhong. And if Senior Cui Xian finds out that you stole someone elseâs painting to attend the exhibition, he probably wonât speak up for you anymore. I heard that Senior Han Yin will also be attending the exhibition. What should we do then? Madam Carter, you should know Senior Han Yin, right? Can you help explain and get Xi Xi to apologize? Sheâs still young, so I hope Senior Han Yin can forgive her.â
Carter remained silent with a strange expression.
Qiao Xi did not even bother to look at Tang Ruge.
Tang Rugeâs expression froze as she continued to patiently persuade her. âXi Xi, actually, I admire Senior Han Yin very much too. Sheâs my idol. I treat her as my lifelong goal. I canât tolerate you stealing her paintings, so you have to apologize in public!â
When Qiao Xi heard these words, she finally raised her eyes and asked with a faint smile, âMiss Tang⦠you admire Han Yin a lot? You treat her as your lifelong goal?â
The corners of Tang Rugeâs mouth twitched slightly, then she sighed. âXi Xi, I know you look down on me. My standard is indeed far inferior to Han Yinâs, but I also have the right to pursue my idol. I might not be able to reach her standard in my life, but I can work hard to get closer to her.
âPerhaps you admire Han Yin very much, but you shouldnât use such a method to express your feelings. If you want to surpass Han Yin, you can rely on your own efforts. You shouldnât steal her painting and use it to participate in the exhibition!â
Qiao Xiâs beautiful eyes shifted as she blinked. âI really didnât expect this! So, Miss Tang, youâre also a fan of Han Yin. Then what do you think I should do?â
