Xue Zhi looked at the girl walking up to greet him, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

“Chairman Xue, this is Shen Yixue,” the school leader said with a smile, introducing her. “She’s the one who won first place in the recent painting and calligraphy competition. She’s always been an exemplary student in both character and academics, especially in painting. It was her talent that got her specially recruited by our college.”

Shen Yixue looked at Chairman Xue and gave a modest smile. “The leader is making a joke, I just enjoy painting. I was also quite surprised to get first place in this painting and calligraphy competition.”

Xue Zhi looked at Shen Yixue before him, surprised but still nodded in praise, “You really have a talent for painting.”

He had thought that the person who could create such a magnificent and grand work would surely be an unconventional and free-spirited individual, not bound by any restrictions. Unexpectedly, the artist turned out to be a gentle-looking, well-behaved young lady. Could it be that looks are indeed deceiving?

Shen Yixue didn’t notice the change in Xue Zhi’s emotions; right now, she was thrilled by the compliment. At the same time, she also felt a lot more at ease.

...

At this moment, she was secretly delighted and full of anticipation. As long as today was over, everything would change. She would become the disciple of the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association. Not only that, but she would also be engaged to Li Jingming.

That’s right, Li Jingming’s mother had already agreed. As long as she could become the disciple of Chairman Xue, she would find a way to persuade the Lai family and have her engaged to Li Jingming.

She was very confident in Chen Sisi’s methods. As a mistress who managed to secure her son as the legitimate young master of the Lai family, her skills were self-evident. So, as long as Chen Sisi agreed, her marriage to Li Jingming would be set in stone.

Chairman Xue had arrived, so naturally, today’s event should begin.

On stage, the school leader was speaking enthusiastically. In essence, he was very pleased that Chairman Xue had come today and was also happy for Shen Yixue’s achievements.

Zhong Niangyao sat there, watching with great interest, as if she were observing an entertaining drama.

Beside her, Zhao Xuanglang was almost falling asleep listening to the leader’s impassioned speech on stage. If it weren’t for the fact that Zhong Niangyao was still there, he might have left early.

After the school leader finished speaking, Chairman Xue also took the stage. After a few polite remarks, he called Shen Yixue up to receive her award. He also instructed someone to display the original work of Shen Yixue’s painting in front of everyone.

Hearing her name called by Chairman Xue, Shen Yixue was extremely excited. She tried to suppress the elation in her heart, took a deep breath, rose from her seat, and walked step by step toward the stage. A smile was always on her face, different from her usually gentle smile, this one seemed a bit more ostentatious, subtly revealing an air of confidence.

Finally, Shen Yixue stood on stage, looking at the audience and the encouraging eyes of Li Jingming. She was almost unable to contain her excitement.

Xue Zhi handed her the certificate representing the honor of first place, and with encouragement, said, “Keep up the good work; I look forward to seeing your talent shine in the art world.”

Shen Yixue accepted the certificate of honor from Chairman Xue, then waited for his next words.

She knew exactly what she wanted; while winning first place in the painting competition was indeed joyful, becoming the disciple of Chairman Xue was what mattered most to her.

But unexpectedly, after handing the certificate to Shen Yixue, Chairman Xue said nothing more.

Instantly, whispers began to spread among the audience below.

The smile on Shen Yixue’s face on stage gradually tightened, and the corners of her mouth drooped significantly.

“Chairman Xue?” the school leader couldn’t help but speak up, “Do you… do you have anything else to say?”

The word about Chairman Xue intending to take Shen Yixue as his disciple had already spread within the college. But now, it seemed like there had been some changes.

“What else is there?” Chairman Xue’s eyes flashed with confusion. “I came here today to meet the owner of that painting and to personally hand her the honor that’s due to her.”

As for anything else, that would have to wait!

When he saw that painting, he indeed thought of taking on a disciple. However, upon meeting the person, he had to admit, he was a bit disappointed. Thus, he believed he needed more time to consider.

Fortunately, he hadn’t voiced his thoughts about taking a disciple at the start.

Instantly, the school leaders were somewhat stunned.

As for Shen Yixue herself, she felt embarrassed.

Even holding the certificate of honor couldn’t improve her mood now.

She desperately wanted to know what Chairman Xue was thinking but didn’t dare to ask. She feared the answer would cause her even more embarrassment.

“Chairman Xue, aren’t you going to take Shen Yixue as your disciple? Such happy news, why not announce it together?”

A voice sounded, and suddenly the entire auditorium fell silent. Those who had been whispering ceased immediately.

They hadn’t expected someone to ask so directly the question on everyone’s mind.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhong Niangyao resting her right hand on the chair armrest, supporting her chin, a trace of sly amusement on her face.

Remembering the complicated relationship between Zhong Niangyao, Shen Yixue, and Li Jingming, the spectators’ eyes brightened, and their expressions of curiosity deepened.

“When did I ever say such a thing?”

Chairman Xue also saw Zhong Niangyao, and he frowned. “Young lady, why are you asking this?”

The once-elated Shen Yixue now had a completely vanished smile, replaced with a ghastly pallor. Her face seemed to have lost all its color, and she looked as if she might collapse at any moment.

Now, she detested Zhong Niangyao for speaking up. Why did she bring it up, openly making her lose face?

If there were a crack in the ground, she truly wished she could dive into it to escape facing the current situation.
