Qing Ci had been the Duan family's daughter for over twenty years when she was suddenly told she wasn't their blood relative. Maliciously framed by the real heiress and expelled by her adop...
Chapter 247 Looking at Qiao Qingci's Paintings
Their noise also attracted the attention of those around them.
"What's going on? Who is Master Hong'an interested in, Qiao Qingci or Qiao Yashu?"
"Didn't they say Qiao Qingci was just found? She had never learned to paint before."
"Could it be that Qiao Qingci really used his connections to snatch Qiao Yashu's spot? That's too much."
Master Hong'an also heard the crowd's discussions.
Master Hong'an was very angry that someone actually questioned his beloved disciple like this!
He wanted to accept it the first time he met Qiao Qingci, but unfortunately Qiao Qingci looked down on him. Now that Qiao Qingci finally gave in, this group of people actually started to question it.
"Enough!" Master Hong'an was furious. The whole place fell silent. Master Hong'an said, "The one I've always wanted to recruit is Qiao Qingci. She's the daughter of the Qiao family's second wife, right? Her painting skills are indeed decent, but she's still a little lacking in quality."
Qiao Yashu couldn't believe it at all.
Can Qiao Qingci draw?
Her impression of Master Hong'an was instantly shattered. She had thought that Master Hong'an was a person who only pursued art, but she didn't expect that he could be bribed by money.
Didn't Master Hong'an take Qiao Qingci in just because the eldest wife's family paid him?!
Qiao Yashu has always been proud and could not accept this fact at all. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. Since they insisted on muddying up the art circle in this way, then she would not give them face.
"Okay, Master Hong'an, since you want to accept Qiao Qingci as your disciple, her painting skills must be very high. Can you let us here watch her?" asked Qiao Yashu.
"Yes, we want to see Qiao Qingci's paintings." Mrs. Qiao Er immediately agreed.
Qiao Yashu's friends followed suit: "Yes, Qiao Qingci is about to become Master Hong'an's apprentice, so it's only right that we look at his paintings, right?"
Although the others didn't say anything, their eyes were clearly curious.
This apprenticeship banquet was completely questioned.
Master Hong An was trembling with anger. He had finally received his beloved disciple, and now he was being questioned by so many people. He looked at Qiao Qingci distressedly: "Qingci..."
"Okay, since everyone wants to see it so much, I can draw it. It's just..." Qiao Qingci looked at Qiao Yashu: "Master Hong'an is not someone you can slander casually. Qiao Yashu, since you have raised an objection, are you ready?"
Qiao Yashu sneered, thinking that he could threaten her like this?
Qiao Yashu: "Let's make a bet. If your painting skills surpass mine, then I will never paint again! If not... you must publicly apologize to me."
Qiao Yashu glanced at Master Hong'an, but didn't say anything to him. Anyway, Qiao Qingci couldn't prove his strength, and Master Hong'an's reputation would be ruined.
Everyone will know that their abilities are superior, but Master Hong An doesn't want him, and instead wants someone who can't draw at all just for the money.
"Okay, you don't have to stop painting. Just make a public apology and donate five million to charity," said Qiao Qingci.
She's not charitable.
But Qiao Yashu would never give up painting. If she lost, she would definitely be harassed about painting.
"No problem." Qiao Yashu agreed without thinking at all, because she knew that Qiao Qingci could not possibly draw better than her.
Instead, Qiao Qingci agreed, which made her feel relieved.
Qiao Yashu looked at Qiao Qingci with some disdain: "What tools do you need?"
"Pencil and paper." Qiao Qingci said lightly.
"Is that all?" Qiao Yashu raised her eyebrows.
"That's right."
"Okay." Qiao Yashu immediately asked someone to prepare it, but she felt even more contempt in her heart. With such simple tools, I'm afraid Qiao Qingci wouldn't even know how to use other brushes! Don't let him draw a child's painting and embarrass himself.
The tools were brought quickly and Qiao Qingci started painting on the stage.
The people in the audience were talking among themselves.
Qiao Yashu sat next to Mrs. Qiao Er.
Madam Qiao Er held Qiao Yashu's hand and said, "If Master Hong'an is such an easily bribed person, we will just change the master."
Her voice was loud enough for Mrs. Qiao and the others to hear.
Mrs. Qiao's face suddenly darkened.
Do this family think they have bribed Master Hong'an?
"Okay." Qiao Yashu said, her eyes full of playful confidence.
During the whole process, she stared at Qiao Qingci, leaving him absolutely no chance of cheating.
Occasionally, Qiao Yashu glanced at Mo Yanchu.
Mo Yanchu was still sitting upright and elegantly. His posture seemed lazy and casual, but he exuded nobility everywhere. He was a true son of a wealthy family.
Qiao Yashu's heartbeat became uncontrollable again.
Everyone was waiting patiently, thinking it would take at least two hours, but unexpectedly, within half an hour, Qiao Qingci stood up straight and said, "It's done."
So fast?
There was some surprise in everyone's eyes.
They all knew that it took a painter a lot of time to paint a good picture, but Qiao Qingci only painted for half an hour. How good could it be?
The contempt in Qiao Yashu's eyes deepened. It was just as she had imagined. Qiao Qingci really couldn't draw.
She stood up and walked onto the stage to look at Qiao Qingci's paintings.
The first time she saw it, Qiao Yashu was stunned.
Then, the pupils began to tremble violently.
