“What are you doing following me out? You all want to learn that damn oil painting. As for our friendship, you’ve long forgotten about it.”
She turned her head and saw that there was really only Murong Shu alone, and tears finally fell.
So many people were invited to ruin Qiao Zhizhi, not to help her achieve her goals.
Why did things turn out this way? She felt a metallic taste rising in her chest, and with a thud, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Murong Shu was initially very angry upon hearing those words, but seeing Wu Qingjin so furious, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"I don't want to learn. I genuinely consider you a friend, otherwise why would I be constantly concerned about your well-being? But Qingjin, this time you really did help Qiao Zhizhi. You have no idea that she was hiding her true abilities."
Thinking of this, Wu Qingjin felt an even stronger metallic taste in her throat, and her eyes flashed with a cold light, mixed with a chilling hatred.
"Yes, she has been lying to me all along, hiding her true abilities. Look at her technique, how could it be possible without years of hard training? But she never told me that she could also paint in oils."
“I went to great lengths to get her a chance to showcase her artwork, hoping she could make a name for herself and pave the way for the future. But instead, she used this powerful tool to become famous throughout the capital, making me look like dust in comparison. She deliberately wanted to step on me and show off in front of me. I thought she was being sincere to me, but I never expected her to be so vicious and ruthless.”
"What a despicable woman." Murong Shu couldn't help but curse, "You two met two years ago, and she hasn't revealed a single word to you in the past two years. She's deliberately keeping it from you, waiting for the right opportunity to trample you into the mud."
"Everyone's attention is on her now. I don't know how many rich and noble young men have a crush on her. Lin Songyan is also secretly watching her. You are clearly prettier than her. Are you all blind? What's so great about a girl from a remote mountain village?"
Hearing these words, Wu Qingjin felt a surge of hatred and resentment in her heart, and she closed her eyes, desperately trying to control her emotions.
The reason she was so devastated was not only because Qiao Zhizhi had suddenly become famous, but also because the man she liked had his eyes completely drawn to Qiao Zhizhi. She even suspected that Qiao Zhizhi had long had her eye on Lin Songyan and was taking this opportunity to seduce him.
"Jin girl." A voice sounded from behind, carrying a hint of authority.
Wu Qingjin's body trembled, and she turned her head to see the Prince of Guangping.
Her tears flowed freely, and she rushed over, grabbed the sleeve of the Prince of Guangping, and burst into tears.
"Uncle Nan, did you see that? Qiao Zhizhi is famous now, and no one can see me anymore. Qiao Zhizhi has been lying to me all this time. I treated her as a friend for the past two years in vain."
Upon seeing that Wu Qingjin had such thoughts, the Prince of Guangping frowned.
"How can you think like that? Today she presented a groundbreaking and innovative painting that amazed everyone. Everyone was curious and their attention was naturally drawn to her. It's not that you can't paint well, nor is it that we're denying the value of your work. If you calm down and practice hard, you'll be a famous artist in twenty or thirty years."
"Twenty or thirty years?" Wu Qingjin's heart was breaking: "But what I have worked so hard for over twenty or thirty years is far less than Qiao Zhizhi's current prosperity."
“Jin, your attitude is not right and your mindset is also wrong. When it comes to painting, you should surpass yourself. It’s a good thing that you are improving year by year. What you need to achieve is your life’s accomplishments and ideals, not just thinking about defeating others.”
Seeing the Prince of Guangping speak so righteously and sternly, Wu Qingjin was speechless.
She refused to admit that she was driven by jealousy and didn't want to see others do better than her. She racked her brains and squeezed out a sentence: "I don't care about what happens in the future. I can't accept that Qiao Zhizhi lied to me and used me. Uncle Nan, you've spoiled me since I was a child. You should avenge me."
