Li Tai's face turned red from Tebus's rebuke, and the people around him began to point and whisper about him.

Those eyes felt like countless knives stabbing him.

He wouldn't admit that he was jealous of Ye Bai.

"I'm telling the truth. It's you people who don't know the industry who have hyped him up to the point of obscurity. Many people in our art circle oppose his attempts to gain special attention. For his attention-grabbing works to become popular all over the world is simply a disgrace to the art world! A disgrace!"

When Bai Qianmo and the others arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

A cry of "Shame!" rang out from the crowd.

The sound was exceptionally loud, with some sharp, distorted notes.

After Li Tai stepped forward, two more painters came out to protest.

"Ye Bai is a coward. He hasn't shown up yet, and he doesn't even dare to release his works. I think he's run out of ideas and can't come up with anything new."

"Heh, the Tang family makes money through dishonest means, selling admission tickets at exorbitant prices, and now they're leaving everyone here unattended. We demand a refund."

"Cough cough!" Old Tang coughed twice when he heard the Tang family being insulted.

A few coughs drew everyone's attention.

Suddenly, dozens of eyes turned toward the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Old Tang, Old Gu, Old Qin, Old Bai, along with Bai Qianmo, Su Peishan, Chen Xiang, and Tang Qianli, stood together at the entrance, looking towards the crowd.

"Mr. Tang, you've finally arrived."

"Even Elder Gu and Elder Qin have come? Ye Bai has quite the influence."

Among the crowd, a politician immediately recognized the two upright, gray-haired old men standing next to Tang Lao as two renowned leaders.

Bai Qianmo's gaze swept across the crowd, and when she saw Tebus, a glint flashed in her calm eyes.

"Old Tang, where is Ye Bai himself?"

Tang Lao glanced at Bai Qianmo.

"Everyone is probably familiar with Ye Bai's personality. She is low-key and doesn't like to appear in public. This art exhibition was not originally her idea. However, she learned that many people wanted to see her works, so she gave Tang face and that's how this art exhibition came about. This is also the only art exhibition that Ye Bai herself initiated. From now on, her works will rarely be seen."

This was something Bai Qianmo and Tang Lao had discussed before the art exhibition started.

These words not only preserved Ye Bai's mystique but also enhanced the Tang family's reputation in the art world.

The low-key and mysterious Ye Bai gave face to Old Tang—what an honor that is!

"So, Ye Bai himself didn't come at all? Then why did he say he would be there?"

Old Tang explained, "Our invitation letter did not say that Ye Bai himself would be present. This kind of rumor must have been spread by ticket scalpers outside."

A total of 180 tickets were issued for the Night White event. As soon as the Tang family announced it, demand exceeded supply, and the price of tickets soared, with scalpers driving up prices to six figures.

Even so, 180 tickets are not something you can just buy with money.

Old Tang naturally knew that rumors were circulating that Ye Bai himself would be attending the art exhibition, because this news was spread through the Tang family using scalpers.

Who said Ye Bai wasn't there?

Old Tang's wise and shrewd gaze swept over Bai Qianmo.

Disappointment was evident in everyone's eyes.

Those damn scalpers actually tricked them into believing Ye Bai would appear.

As it turned out, Ye Bai didn't come at all.

Li Tai sneered: "I think Ye Bai is just a coward, too afraid to show his face. Hmph, I think this old monster is guilty, knowing that his paintings are not up to standard, and afraid that he will be criticized to death by the famous artists in our capital."

In Li Tai's mind, Ye Bai must be an ugly, old monster with a strange personality.

Old Tang stroked his white beard. His face was so thin that there wasn't an ounce of flesh on it. When he grinned, he looked quite like a skeleton.

"How do you know Ye Bai is an old monster? Have you seen him before?" A clear voice slowly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

The speaker was a tall girl with fair skin and exceptionally delicate features.

Everyone had just met and argued with Qin Lin at the main gate.

She is a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Those who came to this exhibition hall today are all literary giants and political celebrities.

Moreover, they are generally over forty or fifty years old, and people of this age and status rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry.

Bai Qianmo has only been in the entertainment industry for less than a year. Even though she has caused a lot of scandals, appeared on many trending searches, and been successfully blacklisted, her fame is only known to ordinary people.

Most of the people present, who were of high status and had considerable age and experience, did not recognize her.

Only a few women in the social circle had some impression of this girl because their children were fans of celebrities.

Just now, everyone was wondering why a woman as noble as Qin Lin would target a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry. Wouldn't that damage her own status?

Now, people are starting to wonder about the background of this young actor.

To be able to come with Elder Gu, Elder Qin, and Elder Tang, what kind of person would be qualified?

Li Tai scrutinized Bai Qianmo.

Although I don't know who this girl is, she's so young, what could she possibly know?

"You're just a kid, I don't need to waste my breath on you."

"Hehe, I suppose you'll never have the chance to meet my master."

"Your master?"

Who is your master?

Bai Qianmo's words were like a thunderclap thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating huge waves.

Bai Qianmo stood with her hands behind her back, wearing a long white dress, her hair loosely draped over her shoulders. Under the light, her skin was as white as snow, with a rosy glow, like a fairy who had fallen to earth.

Despite possessing an ethereal beauty, her cold eyes send shivers down one's spine.

"I am here on the orders of my master to bring several of his works."

No one has ever seen Ye Bai, so no one would doubt that she is Ye Bai's disciple.

Even if there is suspicion, no investigation is conducted.

Can you really expose your own lies?
