Chapter 363 Worth an Apology
Her tall, slender figure, powerful presence, and icy gaze... every step she took felt like a blow to Karina's and everyone else's hearts, making them shudder.
This woman, when she became aggressive, suddenly became somewhat frightening.
"You... what do you want to do?" Karina was genuinely frightened by her domineering and cold gaze, and couldn't help but take two steps back. "In broad daylight, do you still want to hit me?"
"Hit you?" Su Youling grabbed her arm, pulled her close, and said in a cold voice, "Who do you think you are?"
Everyone was speechless.
How did she manage to use such authentic Chinese curse words so easily?
Wen Xi, Annie, and the others exchanged glances and unanimously gave Su Youling a thumbs up.
Boss yyds.
To deal with scoundrels, you have to be powerful and domineering, and strike them hard!
Not far away.
Grandpa Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Dad, I told you you didn’t need to worry about this, right? This Rebecca…” Lu Mingxuan helped him sit down, looking at Su Youling’s back with a complicated expression, “She’s different from others, and she’ll never let herself suffer.”
Otherwise, the methods she used to deal with Lu Niao back then wouldn't have been so shocking!
Simple and direct, but effective!
Thinking of his little niece who had suffered so much, Lu Mingxuan's expression became complicated, and he withdrew his gaze from Su Youling.
For some reason—though Rebecca is now dazzling, he can no longer see the romantic and melancholic shadow in those paintings.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu's eyes showed considerable disapproval: "A girl's reputation is so important. It's really too much for these people to gang up on a young girl."
After a pause, the old man tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I'm not worried about that little girl, I just think this is unethical and disgraceful to the art exhibition. Tell me, what is Ding Muyan up to? He's been watching coldly without saying a word, and this is his doing."

“He’s got a lot of bad intentions.” Lu Mingxuan curled his lip. “Dad, after the art exhibition project is over, let’s have less contact with him. He’s a deep and calculating person. Our family is all in the arts, we can’t outsmart him, and sooner or later we’ll be used by him again.”
The Lu family was thrown into turmoil because of the cruise ship banquet, but Ding Muyan, the hidden culprit, remained perfectly hidden.
Afterwards, Ding Muyan tried to visit the two elders several times, but was turned away each time.
He was angry with this deep-thinking friend.
"You've matured quite a bit; it's not the time to bury yourself in those paintings anymore." Old Master Lu turned to look at him. "Don't you like Rebecca anymore?"
"What are you saying? I originally... liked her paintings." Lu Mingxuan pursed his lips, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Besides, she's already taken, so you don't need to worry about it."
"What do you mean she's taken! This girl has terrible taste. Of all people she could have fallen for, she had to fall for that Li Tingxi!" Old Master Lu was furious whenever he thought about it, which was one of the main reasons why he hadn't given the girl a good look today.
He had blamed the little girl for Lu Niao's matter.
I was holding back my anger, so I refused to see you while I was sick, and I didn't want to say hello just now either.
But when I actually see her being bullied, I still feel uneasy.
After all, he was a rare talent, and he was also connected to an old friend.
He was only doing it out of respect for Old Ai; it was definitely not because he was soft-hearted towards this girl.
"Doesn't Li Tingxi have a wife he can't forget? And a beautiful female colleague by his side?"
"Always involved in scandals... what good can come of getting involved with a man with so many scandals?" Old Master Lu snorted, unable to bear the sight. "In the end, all this trouble today was caused by Li Tingxi."
"Two women are fighting over him here, while he himself has disappeared without a trace! These young girls really have bad eyesight and can't judge people well; they're easily fooled by a pretty face."
"Dad!" Lu Mingxuan knew that his father was still angry about Lu Niao when he saw him getting carried away with complaining, so he quickly whispered to soothe him, "Didn't you say you didn't care about Rebecca? Who cares who she's with or whether she's at a disadvantage or not?"
"roll!"
An old man and a young boy are exchanging barbs, and the farce continues.
The smear squad, led by President Li and with Karina as the assistant, clearly intended to cause trouble for Su Youling, making a complete mess of the situation.
“Apologize.” Su Youling stood firm, refusing to back down. “Otherwise, I will sue you for spreading rumors. With so many people here today, your public dissemination of false information has already caused serious harm to me.”
"It hurts! Let go of me!" Karina struggled to pull her wrist away, but the woman was too strong and almost broke her bones.
"Don't even think about it! Why should I apologize to a shameless foreign prostitute? Do you dare say the woman on the trending topics isn't you? Do you dare say you didn't seduce Li Tingxi?" President Li stood up, his face ashen, and tried to push Su Youling away. "You know you're the third party, yet you act like one and that, and you even feel superior?"
"You shameless old man, your mouth is full of filthy garbage, get out of here." Wen Xi forcefully pushed President Li away and said sarcastically, "Don't touch beautiful women."
"You've gone too far!" After several crushing defeats, and being pushed around by the two women, President Li roared through gritted teeth, "Everyone, come and see! How dare you stand on the grounds of an art exhibition with such vicious faces?"

Discussing art online? They've utterly insulted the word 'art'!
Many people have expressed their dissatisfaction with this farce.
Some sided with the "strange country" (a derogatory term for a foreign country), believing that President Li should not have used his status as the host to insult and provoke a woman in such a way.
Some people who support Mr. Li are just gossiping, believing that Rebecca acted unfairly, using unfair competition to get into the bidding list, which is an insult and injustice to other competitors.
However, most people still support Karina, after all, the ambiguous and romantic rumors between her and Li Tingxi have been circulating for quite some time, and many people assume that the two are a couple.
Who would have thought that a foreign woman named Rebecca would suddenly appear and quickly bewitch Li Tingxi, making Karina the tragic first wife.
More importantly, Karina had been trying to mediate and reconcile the fight all day, displaying a gentle and magnanimous demeanor that contrasted sharply with Rebecca's aggressive attitude.
"Mr. Ding, those people from the Strange Country have made such a mess of this exhibition. We absolutely cannot let them continue participating." Seeing that the security guards dared not take action, Mr. Li immediately rushed into the crowd and pulled Ding Muyan, who was watching the show, over. "What good solutions can that thuggish, fake foreign devil come up with?"
Karina's wrist was really sore from being squeezed so tightly. With red eyes, she looked over and asked, "Mr. Ding, could you please have Rebecca let go of me first?"
Su Youling sneered and looked at Ding Muyan indifferently.
Now let's see how he pretends to be dead and watches the show.
"What a mess! In business, harmony is key to making money." Ding Muyan walked over with two glasses of wine, handing one to Su Youling and the other to Karina. "Both of you are top performers in the competition. There's no need to ruin the harmony of the bidding meeting because of Mr. Li's drunken words, right?"
Su Youling didn't take the wine glass, and retorted, "Don't I deserve an apology?"
