Chapter 298 Public Execution
Karina instinctively clenched her fist, nearly knocking over the clay. Her remaining rationality allowed her to steady her hand, though her mind was in turmoil.
what to do?
Li Tingxi's eyes clearly regarded Rebecca as Su Youling, and he would not let this go!
I assumed he had left with Lu Mingxuan, and since he didn't like such noisy social gatherings, he wouldn't be coming down to the next banquet hall anytime soon...
That's why I agreed to Lu Niao's plan.
I never expected him to show up at this time!
fortunately--
The fact that he didn't rush up and take Rebecca away in a fit of rage shows that he still has some sense of reason.
Wait a minute—
When Rebecca makes a fool of herself in public, he will realize that this person is not Su Youling at all.
Karina desperately tried to calm herself down, her gaze fixed on the zipper at the back of Su Youling's dress, a fleeting chill in her eyes.
In the crowd.
Lu Mingxuan and Ding Muyan stood side by side, their gazes shifting between Su Youling, who was focused on her work on the stage, and Li Tingxi, who was poised to strike in the crowd. They seemed even more nervous than the people involved.
Lu Mingxuan grabbed Ding Muyan's arm. "What does Li Tingxi mean by this? Does his inaction mean he knows that Rebecca and Su Youling have no relationship?"
He sighed, "If that's the case, it means Li Tingxi is still quite rational, at least he wouldn't resort to a stand-in game."
Ding Muyan seemed to have heard something funny. "It's one thing that you came back to China late, but why do you still act like a saint who 'doesn't care about anything else'? You really don't pay attention to anything except your muse."
"What do you mean?"
"Li Tingxi is a veteran at using the 'body double' trope. Back then, the scandalous affair between the twin sisters Su Youling and Shen Xiyue, who mistakenly married Li Tingxi, caused quite a stir, and the Li family suffered a lot because of it." Ding Muyan whispered to his friend, "Although the news has disappeared quietly from the internet in recent years, there were quite a few people who knew about it back then."
“Li Tingxi’s first love was Shen Xiyue, but he was seriously injured in a car accident. On the eve of his wedding, Shen Xiyue ran away with someone else. The heartless couple in the Shen family took Su Youling, who had been abandoned in the countryside, back and gave her to Li Tingxi as a substitute.”

"Unexpectedly, Su Youling is so charming that she actually made Li Tingxi fall in love with her. By the time Shen Xiyue came back to take advantage of the situation, everything had changed."
Just hearing him recount this past event, Lu Mingxuan felt anger and grievance on Su Youling's behalf. "Is Li Tingxi out of his mind? If you really love someone, is it just about loving her face? For a complete person, soul resonance is more important than appearance!"
“He’s so successful in the business world, and seems like a smart guy, but I never expected him to be so muddle-headed when it comes to relationships.” He clenched his fists, stepped forward, and stared at the woman who was intently and seriously sculpting clay. He said in a low voice, “I will never let Rebecca repeat Su Youling’s mistakes.”
Although the Rebecca he saw now was completely different from the X he knew from those paintings in the past, she could not give him that kind of resonance from the depths of his soul.
But she is still a shining gem.
Now that Ding Muyan had dragged him into this situation, he wouldn't stand idly by.
Ding Muyan was just watching the show when he was suddenly glared at by his friend. He immediately pinched his nose innocently and said, "I swear, I meant no harm."
"You better be," Lu Mingxuan sneered. "I hate being used. If this happens again, we'll cut ties."
Ding Muyan gave this guy a wry smile!
As always, he is a warrior of pure love, and he cannot tolerate even the slightest imperfection in his eyes.
He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and suddenly froze.
Where did Li Tingxi go?
Finally, I can't resist taking action?
Ding Muyan curled his lips and continued to stare at Su Youling—with her around, the show was bound to start!
Time ticked by, and the three works on the stage gradually took on a perfect form.
Karina finished first, but her sculpted duck was a mess, utterly lacking in artistry; it was more of a clumsy endearment.
It's so cute when you scoop it up.
She was adept at making light of the situation, and without any stage fright, she smiled and said, "I'm just an amateur. My artistic skills can't represent the art of pottery culture. They can only represent a mother who likes to take her child to the amusement park to have fun. This little duck is a bit ugly, but my daughter should like it."
Her humor and maternal love blended perfectly in this setting, and since no one had high expectations of her, they naturally didn't criticize her.
Everyone laughed it off, which was considered as playing along with her humor.
The real focus is on Su Youling and Lu Niao.
"Lu Niao truly lives up to her reputation as a young lady from an artistic family. Her skillful technique and the precision of her carving... are simply amazing!"
"Although it was just a small gadget designed in a hurry, it is still a tea set with great artistic appreciation. The patterns on it are exquisite and graceful. Without thousands of days and nights of hard work and practice, you wouldn't have this speed of hand."
"I'm determined to have this miniature tea set. Miss Lu, how about we hold an auction on the spot? I see there are quite a few people who want to snatch your masterpiece."
The crowd quickly pushed forward, loudly echoing the sentiment, giving the Lu family ample face.
"I just made this for fun, how can I let everyone spend money? I'll just do a random draw later to bring everyone good luck." Lu Niao smiled happily, finally regaining her face. She proudly displayed her work in front of the camera, and hearing the exclamations of surprise from the crowd, she finally felt satisfied.
Grandma Lu, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. "Our Niaoniao is still amazing. She didn't embarrass you."
Grandpa Lu's expression was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. "The basic skills are quite solid, but the design is too flashy and extravagant."
They're just fooling people who don't know anything.
His gaze was fixed on Su Youling, without blinking.
Although she tried her best to conceal it, and even intentionally hid her skills, the details of her pottery-making techniques could not be faked.
She did indeed have a relationship with Lao Ai.
Seeing the old man's gaze fixed on Rebecca, a hint of displeasure flashed in Lu Niao's eyes. She got up and walked to table number two, looking at the pottery jar in Su Youling's hand.

He couldn't help but scoff, "This dark blob, Rebecca spent so much time and effort kneading it, and it turned out to be a toilet?"
The implication is, this is a pile of shit, isn't it?
Others couldn't understand Su Youling's design either. Compared to Lu Niao's grand and beautiful design, this thing, which couldn't even be called a work of art, seemed very low-class.
Su Youling stopped what she was doing, placed the pottery jar on the display stand, and said calmly, "I'd like to borrow a lighter."
As if he had just thought of something, Old Master Lu quickly instructed the waiter, "Quick! Get her a lighter."
"Playing hard to get." Lu Niao didn't want to pay attention to her, but secretly gave Karina a wink.
Karina subtly moved closer to Su Youling, pretending to admire her work.
A short while later, the waiter brought over a few lighters.
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu couldn't wait to come over and watch Su Youling's work. This blocked part of the camera, but it whetted the appetite of the audience below.
Just as Su Youling was about to grab the lighter, the waiter tripped over something and suddenly lunged at her, while a faint hissing sound came from behind...
A chill ran down my back!
Oh no!
The zipper is open.
Su Youling's expression changed drastically. She had no time to react and watched helplessly as the waiter pounced on her, her dress falling down inch by inch.
She could already imagine that a few seconds later, she would be lying half-naked on the display stand, with a panicked man on top of her, and the air filled with flying clay and mud.
This is tantamount to running naked on stage.
Executed in public.
So this was Karina and Lu Niao's scheme all along!
Su Youling closed her eyes, her mind racing with countless ways to retaliate, but she was powerless to stop the ugly drama that was about to unfold.
Just then, a gasp of surprise erupted from both the stage and the audience—
A deep, cool fragrance rushed over and enveloped her before she could fall to the ground.
