Chapter 297 He kept looking at Rebecca

“My grandfather hasn’t been out of the mountains for a long time. The reason he agreed to provide guidance for the art exhibition this time is because President Ding invited two leading domestic and foreign artists—Yi Tao Culture and Qi Yi Guo Du.” Lu Niao glanced at Karina without saying a word.

She smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Today we are honored to have two people in charge here. I have prepared some painted pottery clay and would like to ask them to share their artistic creation process with us in an entertaining and educational way, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of our art exhibition."

Su Youling realized that this was probably a trap set for her, and it was best to get away as soon as possible.

She instinctively tried to step back, but her wrist was grabbed.

Su Youling frowned, turned her head and looked coldly at Karina, "What are you doing?"

"Let's go, Grandpa Lu is still on stage, we can't embarrass him." Karina enthusiastically grabbed Su Youling's wrist and practically dragged her onto the stage.

The play has already begun; it's a dilemma now.

Su Youling coldly watched the subtle tension between Lu Niao and Karina, wondering when the two of them had gotten together.

"Rebecca, how about you and Karina make a little trinket together as a prize for tonight's banquet?" Lu Niao 'kindly' pulled her to the pottery plate.

The large screen above them showed their faces, recording their every smile, gesture, and movement.

Su Youling frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the spotlight and a strange sense of foreboding—this was too ostentatious and would inevitably cause trouble.

Just then, a burning gaze suddenly came from below the stage, as if it were a tangible flame that set her on fire, leaving her nowhere to escape.

That familiar sense of oppression...

Su Youling subconsciously turned around to look, but what she saw was Lu Niao's lingering smiling face. "Rebecca, you're the CEO of Strange Kingdom, you can't possibly not even make such a small gadget, can you?"

She leaned close to Su Youling and whispered through gritted teeth, "Back at the Paris Fashion Week, didn't you use what was called..."

Did your design beat mine? An international competition champion can't even get on this small stage, and you still say you didn't sell yourself and use connections to get there?

It would be best to execute her in public, catching her completely off guard.

She wanted to tell her grandparents, and everyone else—that Rebecca was just a pretty face and a cheap slut, and didn't deserve to be compared to her.

Su Youling gave her a cold look, then suddenly sneered, "Miss Lu comes from an artistic family, which I have always admired and envied. I wonder if I will have the honor of seeing Miss Lu join our little entertainment tonight?"

This girl took the wrong medicine; she's targeting her in every way.

Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a sick cat.

Since we're already up here, there's no point in leaving now. We might as well take this opportunity to teach Karina and Lu Niao a lesson for their arrogance and let everyone see the strength of the Strange Kingdom.

"You!" Lu Niao gritted her teeth and sneered, "A despicable person like you dares to compete with me on the same stage?"

"You don't dare?" Su Youling raised an eyebrow, her voice cold and provocative. "You lost to me in Paris last time, and I understand why you're afraid of losing again in front of everyone this time."

After saying that, she walked to the display stand, tied her hair up halfway, and prepared to begin.

"Who says I don't dare!" Lu Niao suddenly rushed over, gently pushing her aside so she could take the center position herself.

Facing the camera, she smiled gently and warmly, "Tonight, our Lu family is also the host. My grandfather is getting old and doesn't like to show off, so I, this ignorant little girl, will make a fool of myself for everyone and also to add to the fun for Karina and Miss Rebecca."

Damn Rebecca!

This time, just wait to die.

With just a few words, she turned a presentation into a competition, creating a tense atmosphere.

Before Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu could stop them, the host egged them on and they went to the side to watch the performance, with the host seemingly suggesting that they be judges.

The old lady looked worried. "You personally trained Niaoniao. She's a professional, and we're the hosts. Isn't it going too far to give such a public demonstration and embarrass our two guests?"

"You overestimate her." The old man frowned. "Niao Niao isn't particularly talented, and she's got a complicated mind. Her fancy things might fool laymen, but when she meets an expert, she'll only embarrass herself."

The old lady was displeased. "That's your own granddaughter! Besides, the other two are in finance, they're not experts, how could Niao Niao possibly lose?"

Grandpa Lu snorted, "Long hair, short brains. You've spoiled Niao Niao rotten. She doesn't know there's always someone better than you!"

If Rebecca is truly Old Ai's protégé, she could easily crush Lu Niao.

That's fine.

Someone needs to teach Lu Niao a lesson and teach her a lesson for her arrogance!

"You old fool! Just you wait and see, Niao Niao will definitely shine." Old Mrs. Lu pinched him secretly in anger.

At the same time, the crowd below erupted in excitement upon hearing this.

"Miss Lu is Old Master Lu's personal disciple. Once she makes a move, what's the point of watching the other two?"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that Rebecca from the Strange Kingdom won the Paris Design Competition and completely outshone Miss Lu."

"Tch, what do those foreigners know about real art? Old Master Lu represents the high level of art in our country. His granddaughter is definitely more talented than the other two."

Shh! Karin

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Even if Na isn't an expert in this field, she has powerful backers. Yitao Culture was founded by Master Ai, after all; the company's strength speaks for itself.

"That's right. Li Tingxi is personally coming to support Karina tonight, so we have to be careful what we say. Offending Karina is nothing, but if we offend Li Tingxi, we'll all be in deep trouble."

Su Youling watched Lu Niao's performance with a cold eye, and walked to booth number two without making a sound.

If she applied this ability to change her expression to her creative work, she wouldn't have remained stagnant in her designs.

Karina smiled and walked towards booth number three. When she saw the two people facing off in front of her, she subtly curled the corners of her lips.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits.

It's not a big deal for someone with a finance background to lose in this kind of presentation.

Whether Rebecca wins or loses, the outcome is wrong.

If she loses, it only proves that the strange country is just a name, and that what she shouted in the past were just slogans. How can they compare to the well-established pottery culture in China?

If she wins, she will inevitably offend Lu Niao, causing the Lu family, an artistic family, to lose face. So why would they give her the opportunity to enter the bidding competition?

In any case, the outcome is in her favor.

Thinking about this, Karina felt increasingly relieved.

Unlike the previous two who were serious and cautious about their creations, she approached it as if she were taking her children on a spring outing, making animal shapes that resembled baking pastries. These shapes couldn't withstand artistic scrutiny and were purely for entertainment.

As her thoughts drifted, Karina suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd out of the corner of her eye, and immediately stood up straight in surprise.

Tingxi?

Didn't he leave with Lu Mingxuan and Ding Muyan?

When did you get back?

His gaze... remained fixed on Rebecca!
