Chapter 771: The Capital’s Socialite Was Slapped in the Face

Li Xing’er couldn’t be bothered to argue with Tang Ruge and left with Gu Yao and Qiao Xi.

After learning that Tang Ruge’s painting was going to be exhibited at the International Painting Exhibition, all the Tang family’s relatives and friends ca to observe. As soon as they entered, they heard the news that Cui Xian had beco a disciple.

Madam Tang asked in confusion, “Ruge, I heard that Qi Zhong’s teacher is here too. When you see that senior later, you must perform well and leave a good impression on him.”

Tang Ruge’s face darkened.

Madam Tang had always been gentle. Seeing that Tang Ruge was silent, she asked softly, “Ruge, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you rember what I said?”

Tang Ruge bit her lip and stared at everyone. Was it not enough for outsiders to see her embarrassed? Now that the Tang family was here to join in the fun, how could she raise her head in the future?

The person in charge looked at Madam Tang and ca forward to greet her. “Madam Tang.”

Madam Tang smiled warmly. “Hello, Mr. Charlie. Ruge kept a low profile and didn’t tell her family when she attended the exhibition. We only ca to take a look because we heard about it from others.”

The person-in-charge turned around and saw the Tang family. He wanted to save Tang Ruge so face, so he said calmly, “Madam Tang, follow . I’ll show you around.”

“Mr. Charlie,” Madam Tang said with a smile, “Do you know who’s Senior Cui Xian? Although Ruge is young, she’s already Senior Cui’s grand-disciple. Since they share this relationship, I have to bring Ruge to et him.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

The man in charge frowned. “I don’t think… that’s necessary.”

Madam Tang was a little puzzled. “But it would be against the rules if we don’t greet him.”

“Mom! Stop it!” Tang Ruge interrupted hurriedly.

“Ruge, you’re too shy. Senior Cui is your grandmaster, so you have to pay him a visit.” Madam Tang persuaded gently. She had always wanted to nurture Tang Ruge into the number one socialite in the capital.

Although her daughter was not as beautiful as Qiao Xi, her talent was far superior to Qiao Xi’s. Now that she had beco Qi Zhong’s disciple and Cui Xian’s grand-disciple, it was only a matter of ti before she beca the number one socialite in the capital.

If she did not make use of this art exhibition to make a na for herself, it would seem too deliberate if she wanted to use this identity in the future.

Madam Tang did not notice that sothing was wrong with Tang Ruge. She continued gently, “Mr. Charlie, can you tell where Senior Cui is? I want to bring Ruge—”

“Madam Tang.” The person in charge interrupted with a subtle expression, “Senior Cui is admiring paintings with Senior Fu and doesn’t want anyone to disturb him. It’s better if you don’t go.”

Madam Tang’s expression suddenly stiffened. What the person in charge said made sense, but she really did not want to let go of this opportunity.

“And don’t worry, Miss Tang has already t Senior Cui. You don’t have to greet him anymore. Miss Tang, what do you think?” The person in charge’s mocking gaze landed on Tang Ruge.

Tang Ruge’s breathing stopped, and her expression gradually beca ferocious.

Madam Tang seed to realize that sothing was wrong, but it was too late.

The person in charge originally wanted to save Tang Ruge so face, but since Madam Tang insisted on seeing Senior Cui, he decided to tell the truth. “Miss Tang probably hasn’t had the ti to tell you that she and Mr. Qi Zhong have offended an artist. That artist is Senior Cui’s master. Therefore, Senior Cui has already publicly announced that he has severed his master-disciple relationship with Mr. Qi Zhong. Hence, Miss Tang is no longer Senior Cui’s grand-disciple.”

When he said this, the Tang family mbers looked embarrassed, and the others also had subtle expressions.

The person in charge continued, “Miss Tang publicly asked that artist to apologize to Mr. Qi Zhong and even mocked her for not knowing how to appreciate favors. In the end, even Senior Cui was ashad of the work she took out. Unfortunately, Madam Tang, you arrived a little late and didn’t see that exciting scene.”

Madam Tang and everyone in the Tang family looked at Tang Ruge. Tang Ruge trembled, and her face turned red and white as if she was about to suffocate.

As the eldest daughter of the Tang family and a socialite in the capital, when had she ever been looked down on and mocked by everyone?

However, she could not refute because what the person in charge said was true.

Madam Tang’s gentle face suddenly stiffened as she looked at her daughter in disbelief. “Ruge?”

Tang Ruge trembled and took a deep breath, but the mocking voices still lingered. “Is she the only socialite in the capital? Are the standards of socialites so low now?”
