The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 138 - : Bustling

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Bustling

The next morning, a different atmosphere could be palpably felt throughout the academy.

Even Tenglong Academy paid exceptional attention to the arrival of the Chairman of the Painting and Calligraphy Association. As for the members of the art academy, they had prepared in the auditorium bright and early.

Shen Yixue, as the center of attention, was dressed to the nines. She wore a tailor-made gown that fit her perfectly, adorned with a diamond necklace, and her face was painted with exquisite makeup. Now, she bore no resemblance to her previously modest appearance, clearly looking every inch the wealthy young lady.

She was seated in the front row early on, exuding a dignified and elegant aura.

Li Jingming, on the other hand, was seated next to Shen Yixue, with the two of them whispering to each other from time to time, appearing quite intimate.

By now, Li Jingming and Shen Yixue were recognized throughout the academy as the golden couple.

...

There were other couples within the academy, but none were as high-profile as Li Jingming and Shen Yixue. Moreover, Shen Yixue had recently won first place in a painting competition, and news that Chairman Xue was about to take her as his disciple had already spread. Hence, the renown of this couple was even more resounding.

Upon entering the auditorium, Zhong Nianyao caught sight of the bustling scene. She had planned to find a random seat and sit down, but soon noticed Zhao Xuanglang waving at her.

Consequently, she made her way over and took a seat next to Zhao Xuanglang.

“Boss, knowing you were coming today, I saved a seat for you early,” Zhao Xuanglang said with a hint of pride, “You see, the seat I saved for you has the best view in the whole venue. Later, when things happen on stage, we can see every detail clearly.”

Zhong Nianyao was indifferent about where she sat, so she had no objections and took her seat next to Zhao Xuanglang.

Today was the day Chairman Xue visited the school personally, and most students who had no classes rushed over to the auditorium. Some art students even skipped their classes to be there.

After all, this was no ordinary person; it was the Chairman of the Painting and Calligraphy Association. Even for the professors in the art division of the academy, meeting the Chairman was no easy feat. It was even more challenging for the students, who had no such opportunity.

Even those with powerful family backgrounds had many things they couldn’t achieve, let alone that Chairman Xue was not just the chairman of an association, but also commanded high esteem internationally.

“Boss, today is really bustling,” Zhao Xuanglang chattered nonstop, “Look, there’s Shen Yixue sitting right there in the first row. And—”

“Look, sitting in the third row, that’s Li Jingming’s biological mother. I thought it was just talk, but Li Jingming’s mom really did come!”

Zhong Nianyao followed Zhao Xuanglang’s gaze and indeed saw Chen Sisi seated at the central position in the third row.

Chen Sisi was dressed in a business suit that fit her well today; her makeup was light, and her hair was elegantly pinned up, creating an image of a virtuous wife and good mother. However, everyone was well aware of what kind of person she really was.

Seated there with a soft smile, the look she gave Shen Yixue was one of satisfaction and admiration.

Catching sight of Chen Sisi’s demeanor, a flicker of understanding crossed Zhong Nianyao’s eyes.

Previously, she had thought Chen Sisi looked down on Shen Yixue! But now it seemed she had misjudged; Chen Sisi was indeed favoring Shen Yixue. Of course, there was a premise here—that Shen Yixue was about to be taken as a disciple by Chairman Xue today.

However, on second thought, she could roughly guess Chen Sisi’s mindset.

Although Chen Sisi was Li Jingming’s biological mother, Li Jingming had entered the Lai family’s doors, but she had not. Currently, Chen Sisi was merely one of Mr. Lai’s mistresses, viewed less favorably due to age. Nonetheless, for Li Jingming’s sake, Mr. Lai had continued to support her.

Therefore, Chen Sisi had always wanted Li Jingming to find a lady from a prominent family.

However, likewise, ladies from esteemed families were not easy to deal with. Chen Sisi absolutely could not assume any matriarchal airs before them.

The current Shen Yixue was different; as long as Shen Yixue became an indoor disciple of Chairman Xue, the connections behind her could become supportive of Li Jingming.

Moreover, Shen Yixue came from humble origins. Even if she became a disciple of Chairman Xue, she wouldn’t have a strong foundation. After all, she was only a disciple, with no blood relation.

Therefore, Chen Sisi could easily manipulate Shen Yixue. Moreover, accepting Shen Yixue wouldn’t provoke any conflict between her and Li Jingming.

Perhaps having figured out the intricacies, Chen Sisi was also inclined to accept Shen Yixue.

“Boss, what are you thinking?”

Zhao Xuanglang saw Zhong Nianyao lost in thought and asked out of curiosity, “You’re not planning on how to sabotage Shen Yixue’s affair, are you?”

By the end of his sentence, his voice had become very low, fearing that other students nearby might hear.

“You talk too much,” Zhong Nianyao coldly glanced at Zhao Xuanglang, “If you don’t shut up, I might just make you speechless for half a month.”

Upon hearing Zhong Nianyao’s threat, Zhao Xuanglang immediately mimed zipping his lips and then closed his mouth, no longer pestering Zhong Nianyao.

He was well aware that Zhong Nianyao would do as she said, and whats more, she really had that capability.

It seemed there could be no one else as pitiful as him; even speaking up could earn disapproval.

Not long afterward, a disturbance came from the entrance.

Looking in the direction of the noise, one could see the academy’s leaders and several art professors currently escorting an elder in his sixties with silvery hair and dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, walking in.

Despite his age, the gentleman still possessed a lively spirit, with sharp and wise glints in his eyes. The Sun Yat-sen suit added a scholarly touch to his demeanor.

Upon seeing the arrival, one could readily guess his identity; it must be the Chairman of the Painting and Calligraphy Association—Xue Zhi.

Though she had never seen Chairman Xue before, Shen Yixue immediately guessed his identity and promptly stood up, greeting the group as they entered through the doors.

Li Jingming, however, remained seated and did not follow suit. He had come today in Shen Yixue’s company, and this wasn’t his domain. Following along would only bring embarrassment upon himself.

“Chairman Xue, hello,” greeted Shen Yixue as she took the initiative.
