It was not until this time that the Lin family realized that the painting was indeed painted by Hua Yufeng.

Some people in the crowd also directed their criticism at Old Mrs. Lin.

"I've read about their family affairs in the gossip. Lin Xiaojuan isn't the old lady's biological granddaughter. Hua Yufeng is. But just now, she completely sided with Lin Xiaojuan and questioned her own granddaughter. What's going on?"

"This is really puzzling. The biological grandmother favors her step-granddaughter instead of her biological granddaughter. And that Lin Li, I heard she was a good stepmother, famous in Jincheng. Now it seems that she is taking someone else's work and using it for her own daughter. She wants to deceive the world and steal the reputation. This good reputation is just for outsiders to see."

"I think the old man is also confused and deceived by the hypocritical appearance of this mother and daughter. He actually treats his own granddaughter as an outsider. The affairs of this wealthy family are really a mess."

These discussions not only made Lin Li's face uglier, but even Old Lady Lin and everyone in the Lin family felt particularly embarrassed.

They were obviously caught off guard by this sudden change and didn't know how to deal with it. They wanted to leave the podium like this, but they felt particularly unwilling to do so.

If they were to flee like this, the reputation of this entire family would be completely ruined.

He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. He could only stand there blankly, his face red as he was constantly filmed by reporters with cameras and was ridiculed and scolded by the audience.

Hua Yuran saw that the time was right, so she and Long Ming quickly walked over and said loudly, "I can explain this matter to everyone."

Everyone in the Lin family was shocked. When they saw Hua Yuran, it was like they saw a savior.

The whole audience fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Hua Yu Ran.

Hua Yuran had a faint smile on her face, and her extremely delicate face seemed to have a layer of faint light, which made everyone feel so beautiful that their breath was held.

"As everyone knows, this work was painted by my younger sister Hua Yufeng, and was borrowed by my other younger sister Lin Xiaojuan."

"My sister, Lin Xiaojuan, borrowed this work as a daily assignment and submitted it to her professor. Her professor thought it was very spiritual and of a high level, so he submitted it for the competition without her permission."

"The news of the award was first passed on to her professor, and then to her. That's why our whole family accompanied her here to receive the award."

"She didn't even know it was the winning piece before it was displayed. When she found out it was the winning piece, she was already on the verge of collapse and had no choice but to go on stage."

"This really can't be blamed on Lin Xiaojuan, nor on my Aunt Lin. She was forced to act with Lin Xiaojuan because the situation forced her to do so, because Lin Xiaojuan's award was already a reality."

"I can't blame my other relatives, like my grandmother, for this incident. It was all a misunderstanding that led to the current situation."

"Everyone has wronged my relatives!"

The whole audience was still very quiet, and everyone was skeptical about Hua Yuran's explanation.

The host asked in confusion, "I'm quite confused about this. When you submit a work for a competition, it must be signed."

"Even if it was Professor Lin Xiaojuan who submitted the work, it must have been signed by Lin Xiaojuan. Why is the work now named Hua Yufeng?"

Everyone was excited. Yes, is there something wrong here?

Even Lin Li and Lin Xiaojuan looked at Hua Yuran. It was obvious that Hua Yufeng had just finished the painting and had not had time to sign it.

The name was written by Lin Xiaojuan, and it was her own name.

They were also curious, what was going on?

At this time, Long Ming smiled and said, "I have to explain this. I got a special ink. When you write your name on it, it will disappear."

"But it would reappear automatically after a few days, covering up the signature written in ordinary ink on the back. I thought it was interesting, so I gave some to my sister-in-law Hua Yufeng."

He looked at Hua Yufeng, who was stunned for a moment. This was not possible.

However, she was very smart and immediately understood what Long Ming meant.

She nodded. "My brother-in-law did give me a special ink. I thought it was fun, so I used it to sign some of my works."

Long Ming knew Hua Yufeng wasn't good at lying, so he didn't force her. He continued, "Yufeng signed her painting in ink. She thought if Lin Xiaojuan turned it in for homework, the professor would grade it and return it, so her professor wouldn't find out."

"I didn't expect that Professor Lin Xiaojuan actually submitted her work to the competition. When the entries were graded, the author's name was covered up. In fact, Hua Yufeng's previous signature had long been restored to her original name during the competition, but no one noticed."

"When Yufeng saw the painting, she rushed to remind Xiaojuan. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiaojuan saw the painting being held up, she jumped up and told everyone that it was her painting and she was the champion. Yufeng couldn't stop her."

"That's why such a huge misunderstanding happened!"

Hua Yuran smiled and said, "That's right, that's what happened. So, everyone really misunderstood. My relatives are not at fault."

"I hope everyone can be more rational and stop mocking and cursing my family members, and especially stop cyberbullying them online. They are all good people."

Old Mrs. Lin reacted quickly and immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

"So that's how it is. We really can't be blamed for this. We didn't know there were so many things going on here!"

He almost lost all his face and became a fraud and a name-stealer.

I thought that this experience would allow me to brag about it for a year or two when I return to Jincheng and talk to those wealthy old ladies.

After being messed up by Lin Li and Lin Xiaojuan, I will be laughed at for a year or two when I go back.

Lin Haishan was even more frightened. His reputation was related to the share price of Hua Group. The loss was real money.

He quickly explained loudly, "That's right. We in the Lin family are all upright people. If we had known that this was Yufeng's work, we would have supported her because she is my biological daughter."

"This is purely a misunderstanding and has nothing to do with our character. This matter has gone a bit out of line. I apologize to everyone."

Lin Haishan bowed to the audience and then to the host.

The crowd then began to make an uproar.

"This matter really seems to have nothing to do with those relatives."

"That's right, we don't understand the truth, and they don't understand the truth either. It's wrong to scold them."

"These relatives just wanted to support their own family. This is really unfair to them."

Hearing the discussions in the crowd, the Lin family members finally felt relieved.

Even Lin Li and Lin Xiaojuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hua Yuran came forward in time, otherwise, they really didn't know how to step down today.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard someone say, "These relatives of the Lin family were wronged, but the mother and daughter were not wronged!"
