Chapter 186 The painting was destroyed

The moment he saw her, a trace of shame flashed across Fang He's face. "Yaoyao, it's Master who is sorry for you. The painting you carefully created... was damaged by someone, and now it can't be exhibited."

Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this.

Lu Zhengze's face darkened as well. He walked into the studio and saw the torn painting on the ground.

“Who did it!”

As the question came out, Lu Zhengze's suspicious gaze fell on Su Yurou.

Su Yurou looked pure and innocent.

"As soon as I discovered the painting had been destroyed, I immediately asked staff to investigate. Unfortunately, there was a power outage in the studio last night, so I wasn't able to capture the culprit!"

Fang He shook his head and sighed, "I've already announced that 'Glimmer' has returned, and there's still space for the painting, but it's too late to paint now."

Jiang Yao just found his inspiration and carefully created this painting. He really didn't have a backup.

As for previous works, they have all been exhibited.

At this moment, Su Yurou beside her slowly spoke, "I am willing to take out my paintings and help Senior Sister take over and get through this difficult time."

After he finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.

Everyone's sharp gazes fell on him, some with surprise, some with suspicion, and some with scrutiny.

"Yu Rou, are you serious?" Fang He asked in disbelief.

"Master, I know I'm a little overconfident, but actually, over the years, my creative style is quite similar to Senior Sister's. Please wait a moment."

After saying this, Su Yurou hurried out, and not long after, she came back with a painting.

"This is the work I created during my three-month retreat that I'm most satisfied with. I've never shown it to anyone before. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she did not feel guilty at all, as if she was truly considering everyone.

Everyone came over to take a closer look at her work.

"Hmm..." After a moment, Fang He nodded with some appreciation, "Yu Rou, you have indeed made rapid progress. If this work is put out for exhibition, it is indeed worthy of the title."

"Really, Master?" Su Yurou was a little surprised.

Jiang Yao stared at the painting for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why does this painting look so familiar?

But... she was sure that this was not her creation, and some details were very different from hers.

"Yaoyao, look at this matter—" Fang He finally handed the decision to Yaoyao, "If you don't want to, I can issue a statement to apologize."

"But teacher, if you do this, many people who come here for the 'Glimmer of Light' will definitely be disappointed, and you will also be implicated."

Jiang Yao seemed to have weighed the pros and cons before making a decision. "Then let's listen to Junior Sister Yu Rou's opinion first!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Beiting and Lu Zhengze's expressions changed.

Su Yurou was overjoyed and held her hand, "Thank you, Senior Sister. It is my greatest honor to be able to help you."

Jiang Yao smiled and patted the back of her hand, "I should be the one thanking you for your help, Junior Sister."

After everything was discussed, Fang He immediately sent someone to make arrangements, and Su Yurou cooperated with the action.

When Jiang Yao came out from the backstage, Lu Zhengze couldn't wait to ask: "Senior Sister, what are you thinking about? Don't you have any doubts at all about this matter-"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yao grabbed his wrist and walked to the side.

Li Beiting behind him paused.

Lu Zhengze was somewhat surprised to be taken away obediently, and he did not forget to turn around and gave Li Beiting a provocative look.

When they reached the corner, Jiang Yao let him go and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ze, I want to ask you to help me with something..."

Lu Zhengze immediately understood: "Could it be related to this work?"

Jiang Yao nodded and whispered a few words into his ear.

Lu Zhengze was surprised after hearing this, then nodded, "Okay, you wait."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Not far away, Li Beiting had a sullen face and crossed his arms, watching the two people whispering so intimately, and a feeling of jealousy welled up in his heart.

After Jiang Yao came back, he casually asked, "Is there anything I can't listen to?"

Jiang Yao said mysteriously, "Keep it a secret for now. You'll know when the exhibition opens."

Li Beiting narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a strange tone, "Do you trust him more than you trust me?"

Jiang Yao watched his expression change with interest, "You care a lot?"

"Can't I care?" Li Beiting said righteously.

"Alright, alright." Jiang Yao coaxed her like a child, "You are all people I trust, don't be jealous, dear!"

This sounds like "You are all my wings."

Li Beiting's mouth twitched as he watched her reach out to touch his head. He grabbed her wrist, pressed her against the corner of the wall, leaned closer, and his warm breath brushed against his face.

"Yaoyao, are you really treating me like a child? Don't forget, I'm a grown man and your suitor."

His extremely aggressive gaze made Jiang Yao's soul tremble.

She looked away in a panic.

"Well, the exhibition is about to start. I'm going to the bathroom first. You can go in directly."

After saying that, Jiang Yao crawled out from his arms and hurried away.

Li Beiting looked at her fleeing back, feeling helpless, and turned around and went straight into the venue.

The exhibition officially begins.

Visitors also came in one after another.

In the crowd, Chu Yue came in holding Grandpa Chu's arm and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I finally got these tickets. I know you like the paintings of "Glimmer". Now that she has finally returned, aren't you very happy!"

Old Master Chu knew that she was deliberately trying to please him and wanted him to calm down about what happened last time.

After all, she was his granddaughter whom he had spoiled since she was a child, and he really couldn't bear to blame her.

"Yes, good boy, thanks to you."

Chu Yue suddenly smiled with a smug look on her face. When she raised her head, she inadvertently saw Li Beiting's figure.

Her expression changed slightly, and she winked at the little sister who followed her.

Qiao Yi, the younger sister, immediately understood what he meant. She stepped forward and pretended to be curious, asking, "Grandpa Chu, you said Wei Guang is so mysterious. What kind of person could she be? Her paintings are so wonderful, so she must have a rich life experience. Could she be a middle-aged person in her forties or fifties?"

Mr. Chu was indeed intrigued and started communicating with her.

Chu Yue took this opportunity to come up to Li Beiting, lifted a handful of hair from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, what a coincidence, are you here to visit the exhibition too? Do you want to join us?"

Although it was a question, her tone was full of superiority and certainty.

However, Li Beiting refused the next second, "No, I'll wait for someone."

Chu Yue choked with anger.

From childhood to adulthood, almost no boy would reject her, no matter because of her status or appearance.

But the person in front of me is so heartless.

He said he was waiting for someone, could it be...

Just as I had a guess in my mind, the next second, a slim figure came from the opposite side.
