Jiang Li was still sitting there without moving. Her eyes were still indifferent. It was obvious that she was not interested in any of this.

“Sister, you are amazing. I just don’t know how many more winning works you can draw.”

She knew very well that there were only a few paintings that she had given to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang.

Jiang Man probably did not have Jiang Li’s other works in her hands.

Jiang man’s expression froze when she said those words that were neither light nor heavy. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and stopped talking.

However, many people at the scene immediately jumped up and pointed at Jiang Li while scolding her.

“Shut up, you only know how to brag. With how amazing Manman is, she will definitely be able to draw better and get more awards.”

“That’s right. I think she’s clearly jealous. Manman’s kindness to her has been in vain. She’s not even grateful to Manman’s kindness.”

Jiang Man was very proud of herself.

However, she was afraid that things would get out of hand. If she were to draw in front of everyone, she would really be exposing herself.

Jiang Man waved her hand and tried to persuade them with a weak expression.

“Alright, everyone, don’t say that. Drawing is just to cultivate one’s temperament. It’s not for a competition. Everyone, stop making things difficult for my sister.”

Jiang Man’s words immediately attracted another round of praise.

Seeing that Jiang Li was still indifferent, Su Tongtong could not help but ask her curiously, “Ah Li, do you really know how to paint?”

Jiang Li recalled that she once loved painting.

“I just liked it.”

At the moment, she did not need it anymore.

“You like it? Then let’s go to the art exhibition at noon,” Su Tongtong said excitedly.

Since there was nothing else to do, Jiang Li agreed.

Although Yangming’s art exhibition was organized by the school, it still attracted a large number of famous people to come and support it.

In the end, it was also a promotional activity. The art exhibition was in the large exhibition hall on the first floor. There were many works that had been sent to the exhibition by famous artists. There were also many good paintings. Jiang Li admired them carefully along the way.

Jiang Man’s paintings had won awards, so they were hung in the most conspicuous position in the exhibition hall, attracting many people’s praise.

The other artists only appeared for a short while, but Jiang Man had been standing in front of her painting ever since the exhibition started. Many people who came to see the painting praised her endlessly when they heard that she was the author.

“Although this painting is a painting of scenery, it has integrated the scenery into the state of mind. The entire painting shows a cold yet domineering aura. I really did not expect the original author to be Miss Jiang, the daughter of such a gentle and elegant aristocratic family. It’s really surprising.”

A well-known artist from the Shanghai Art Association was especially impressed by this painting and kept praising Jiang Man.

“Miss Jiang’s state of mind must be different from an ordinary person. Even I feel inferior to her.”

“Yeah, she’s high-minded and arrogant. She doesn’t lose her pure heart when it comes to scenery and objects.”

Other professional writers also came over to appreciate the painting.

Jiang Man stood in front of everyone’s admiring eyes and could not hide the pride in her heart anymore.

“I’m also very happy to be acknowledged by all the teachers. Actually, I didn’t draw to win an award at the beginning. I just spent some time when I was free and didn’t spend so much energy on it. I didn’t expect to gain something from it. I’m also very surprised.”

“Ah, you’ve achieved so much just by spending some time. Miss Jiang is really a genius young lady.”

“Such a rare genius. I really admire you…”

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

“Look, isn’t that Ninth Master Fu? He’s here to watch the art exhibition too!”

“Really, it’s Ninth Master Fu. He’s a rare figure, but I didn’t expect to meet him here.”

When the painters heard this, they immediately abandoned Jiang Man and went to the entrance.

When they heard Fu Jiuxiao coming over, Jiang Li was still indifferent as if she did not know this person.

She did not want to expose what happened between them to the public.

Soon, Fu Jiuxiao’s bodyguards came in. After making sure that the venue was safe, they opened a path for him. Then, Fu Jiuxiao entered the exhibition hall in a wheelchair, surrounded by his bodyguards.

At this time, he was wearing a light gray casual suit, a white shirt, and no tie. This light-colored casual outfit diluted the cold and domineering aura on his body, and it made him look more refined, which was somewhat in line with today’s art exhibition.

Fu Jiuxiao’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people around.

“Wow, Ninth Master looks different today! He’s so handsome!”

“Yeah, he’s even more handsome than Fu Yunze. He’s rich and has a lot of money, but unfortunately, his legs are inconvenient.”

“Yeah, yeah, but that face is still so dreamy… if it weren’t for the rumors of him being abusive, I would have wanted to…”

“What do you want to think about? Do you think you can dream about Ninth Master? Dream On!”

The discussion entered Jiang Li’s ears. It seemed that Fu Jiuxiao had gained a large number of fans here.

It was the same in his previous life. No matter where he went, he would always be the center of attention.

Jiang Li smiled indifferently. She wanted to take advantage of the time when there were fewer people to look at a few more paintings.

She did not expect Fu Jiuxiao to stop at the paintings behind Jiang Man.
