Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Words in the Painting
The people around also cast scornful glances at Zhong Niangyao, clearly not believing the words she had said.
Zhong Niangyao’s na was sowhat renowned within Tenglong Academy. However, her fa did not stem from her own excellence but rather because of her relentless pursuit of Li Jingming.
Of course, no one could deny that she was quite attractive, but there had never been any talk of her having any talent in the arts. Even worse, she had earned the reputation of being a “straw bag.” Now claiming she could paint such a picture was truly laughable.
“Hehehe,” faced with the doubts of the crowd, Zhong Niangyao did not get angry but continued with a nonchalant air, “Since I dared to proclaim in this public setting that I am the author of this painting, naturally, I have evidence to prove it.”
“Zhong Niangyao, stop causing trouble,” Li Jingming stepped forward, his eyes full of reproach when he looked at Zhong Niangyao, “I know you’re unhappy about and Xiao Xue, but that’s no reason for revenge. Also, you can’t ruin Xiao Xue’s important day just for your own sake.”
Previously, Zhong Niangyao had vehently claid she had no feelings for him, yet now because he was with Xiao Xue, she was spouting nonsense here, trying to ruin Xiao Xue. She truly was hypocritical.
...
Li Jingming wasn’t the only one with this view; the others thought so too. Why else would Zhong Niangyao target no one else but Shen Yixue here? The biggest thing connecting Zhong Niangyao and Shen Yixue was none other than Li Jingming.
“Li Jingming, you’re way too full of yourself!”
Beside them, Zhao Xuanglang stepped forward, speaking disdainfully, “Who do you think you are? You’re not worthy of my boss, and my boss would definitely not fancy soone like you.”
“If the boss said that the painting is hers, then it must be hers.”
It was well known that recently, Zhao Xuanglang and Zhong Niangyao had beco close. So his speaking up for Zhong Niangyao was only natural.
Chen Lianlian, who already disliked Zhong Niangyao, was even more irritated upon seeing Zhao Xuanglang siding with Zhong Niangyao, and her words beca even more sharp and sarcastic, “Zhong Niangyao, you may lack other skills, but your ability to seduce n is quite remarkable. Jingming doesn’t fancy you, so you’ve shifted your target, haven’t you?”
“For soone like you to dare claim this painting as yours, you might as well make up a believable lie! If this painting really is yours, then I will kneel down and apologize to you today.”
“Very well!” Zhong Niangyao pushed Zhao Xuanglang aside and stood up, looking at Chen Lianlian, who was clearly jealous, and nodded with a smile, “Since you’re so polite and want to kneel down to apologize to , I certainly won’t be polite either.”
With that, she stood up and walked toward the stage.
That confident, nonchalant deanor made everyone see her confidence.
This made everyone present start to wonder, could it be that what Zhong Niangyao said was true?
In just a few minutes, Zhong Niangyao had already made her way to the stage and stood in front of the showcased painting.
Shen Yixue’s expression did not change, but her heart couldn’t help but pound.
She did not believe at all that Zhong Niangyao could have painted such a picture. However, Zhong Niangyao’s deanor now filled her with panic.
She couldn’t help but look around and when she saw Chen Sisi’s deep expression sitting down in the audience, her heart skipped a beat.
Although there were no extra expressions on Chen Sisi’s face, she knew that the other party must already be dissatisfied.
She had not forgotten that Chen Sisi’s agreent to her engagent with Li Jingming was under the condition that she be taken as an apprentice by Chairman Xue today.
Since Chairman Xue probably had no intention of taking her as an apprentice, naturally, she felt very sad. However, she feared even more that the truth of the painting would be revealed.
She could only continuously comfort herself, no, that painting definitely could not be by Zhong Niangyao. Even if it were indeed by Zhong Niangyao, she would have no evidence to prove it.
Right, so she didn’t need to worry at all, she just needed to do her best.
“Zhong Niangyao, stop making trouble,” a school official spoke impatiently, “Today is not a day for you to act recklessly. Get down now, or I’ll have to take disciplinary action.”
Zhong Niangyao ignored the school official’s threats, turned around, faced Shen Yixue directly with a smile, and said, “Shen Yixue, you claim that you painted this picture. Then I just want to ask you one question—”
At this point, she glanced at the painting, then shifted her gaze back, “Why did you hide my na in this painting? Could it be that you are secretly in love with ?”
As soon as these words ca out, the entire hall was astounded, and everyone’s attention focused on the painting displayed on the stage.
Everyone looked carefully, trying to find Zhong Niangyao’s na in the painting, but it was still to no avail.
“Zhong Niangyao, what kind of joke are you telling!” Chen Lianlian spoke up mockingly, “I think you’ve gone mad, trying to find your sense of existence here just to annoy everyone.”
Shen Yixue was already a bit nervous, but when everyone couldn’t find anything, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could even speak, she was startled by Chairman Xue’s exclamation.
“No, there really are words on this painting.”
After Zhong Niangyao’s words, Xue Zhi began observing the painting closely. At first, he thought she was just bluffing, but unexpectedly, he actually found a few words on it.
Xue Zhi’s remark instantly silenced the entire room.
Everyone’s attention once again gathered on the painting, trying to find out what those words were, but still to no avail.
Even the school official was shocked, but as he was not an art student, he couldn’t decipher it.
Several professors from the art departnt, originally just observing from below, now ca up to the stage and began studying the painting, then couldn’t help but voice their amazent.
“There really are words!”
“Amazing, truly amazing, she integrated those words so perfectly with the painting, with absolutely no sense of incongruity!”
“Let see what the words say! ‘By Zhong Niangyao,’ is that right?”
“Yes, it’s indeed ‘By Zhong Niangyao’!”
