The Real Rich Daughter is Exposed at a Variety Show-Chapter 363 - : The Culprit
Chapter 363 - 363: The Culprit
βItβs not a famous person,β Xuan Jing looked at Bai Lin and said, βItβs her, my annoying little sister who knocks on my door every day and says that sheβll tear down my house if I donβt draw her a painting.β
The banquet hall was suddenly filled with the sound of gasps. π§π³π¦π¦π€π¦ππβ΄π·π¦π.π€β΄π
Xuan Jing still could not help but laugh when he recalled how Bai Lin had asked him for the birthday congratulatory painting.
His little sister had never paid attention to elegant things like antiques, calligraphy and paintings. However, there was a time when she asked him to draw one. He agreed, but Bai Lin showed a rare look of hesitation when he asked what theme she wanted.
βEr-ge, arenβt the scenic paintings you paint the most famous?β Bai Lin asked.
Xuan Jing thought that she was going to sell it for money, so he smiled and said, βYes, the most valuable painting is my freehand landscape painting. If youβre short on money, I can draw a few more for you.β
Bai Lin pursed her lips and pretended to be angry. βWhen have I reached the stage where I have to ask you for money? Why are you laughing at me?!β
Then, Bai Lin sighed and said, βEr-ge, my Grannyβs birthday is coming soon. Sheβs always been frugal, but I just want to give her everything good. Is it appropriate if I ask for a painting from you to celebrate her birthday?β
It was only then did Xuan Jing realize it. He had met Bai Linβs Granny a few times; she was a kind and friendly old lady. Bai Lin was a little slow when it came to relationships, and she only knew how to treat people with a sincere heart. It was normal for her to not know how to choose a birthday gift.
βXiao Lin, Iβll draw you a smaller painting that you can hang up. You can frame it and hang it in Grannyβs room as a decoration. Sheβll like it.β Even though Bai Lin was already an adult, Xuan Jing could not help but speak to her in a way that one would use to coax a child.
Sure enough, Bai Lin was happy as soon as she heard this. Her small face was filled with a bright smile, making her look cute and pleasant.
Thus, Xuan Jing noted down her smiling face and drew it on the birthday -congratulatory painting for the old lady.
This was why Bai Lin had knocked on his door every day asking him to change his painting. Bai Lin felt a little embarrassed to be drawn into the painting, so she argued that she did not want it this way. In the end, Xuan Jing used the excuse βGranny will be very happy if she can see you in the painting every dayβ to coax her.
Back then, Bai Lin had more expressions than she did now.
She would only act so pampered in front of people who were extremely close to her and she would sacrifice for.
The atmosphere on Bai Lin and Xuan Jingβs side was filled with the warmth of a family. Yan Ruo, who was standing at the side, actually looked very harmonious next to them.
However, this scene was like a loud slap on Yan Yuanβs face to him.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yan Yuan punched the screen that was embedded with the fake painting.
After a loud bang, the glass was immediately covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
Yan Yuanβs hand was pierced by a splinter and blood spurted, but he did not feel it at all. His head was lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
βTake it away and call the doctor to take a look at Second Young Masterβs hand.β The old butlerβs reaction was quick, and he immediately began to deal with the matter.
Yan Yuan blinked. His resentful eyes were almost nailed to the fake painting screen that was being moved away by the servants. It was this thing that had made him the laughingstock of the entire Yan family, and even the entire City A. Not all the people who came today were local famous people or from City Aβs families, so him being a joke would probably spread even further.
No, it was not because of the painting.
Yan Yuan clenched his fist. The pain of his wound being torn and the slippery feeling of blood made his mind clearer.
It was Bai Lin who had caused all of this!
The culprit was actually laughing and joking in public?
Bai Lin had completely become a thorn in Yan Yuanβs eyes. His face was twisted with anger and endless hatred. The doctor who came to take him to get bandaged gently called him but was immediately shocked by the fierce glare.
Xuan Jing and Bai Lin exchanged a few words before he turned to Elder Mrs. Yan with the wooden box in his arms. He bowed slightly and said, βElder Mrs. Yan, Fourth Young Master invited me to celebrate your birthday today. Iβve been rude to come late. This is the gift Iβve brought. Please take a look.β Fourth Young Master? Yan Ruo?
When Yan Yuan heard this, he immediately shook off the doctor beside him.
How could Xuan Jing have been invited by Yan Ruo?!
