Before, everyone's attention was on the quality of the copybook, but they didn't look carefully at each character. It was only after Song Yanxi reminded them that everyone noticed the unusual character "Xi".
"Hey, it really is. It does look a bit like Xi, but why are there a few extra strokes? Could it be the traditional Chinese character for Xi?"
"Have you graduated from elementary school Chinese? Count how many strokes the word '曦' has. Twenty strokes is already difficult. Now let's talk about traditional Chinese characters. Will you still be allowed to write about the setting sun in the morning light in your composition?"
"You haven't even graduated from elementary school Chinese yet. Does the difficulty of the word 'Xi' have anything to do with whether it has traditional Chinese characters?"
"Maybe it's not Xi. There are many similar characters. Maybe it's just an uncommon character that we haven't seen before."
"I've looked on the website, and there's no such word. So, it's probably just like what Miss Song said. The person who wrote the post got anxious near the end and accidentally made a few misplaced strokes."
"I actually wrote it wrong. What a shame! Such a good piece of calligraphy is ruined now..."
"The key point is that the person who wrote the post didn't even notice it, and even gave the post with the typo to Mr. Sheng as a birthday gift. I don't know if he was lazy or did it on purpose."
"It's unlikely that he didn't find it. It's probably because his skills are not good enough. He was in a good mood for a while and only wrote such a piece of calligraphy. After that, he couldn't write it again. He could only use the copybook with the wrong characters to make up for it."
"I guess that's the case. Luck can happen sometimes, but not everyone can compare to a master like Mr. Lin. We're still far behind!"
“…”
Song Yi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the comment that instantly changed the tone of the conversation. He glanced at his daughter approvingly, his expression brightening considerably as he said, "There's actually a copybook with typos. It's amazing that Elder Sheng takes it so seriously. It seems the person who wrote it has failed Elder Sheng's kindness."
"By the way, since it's a birthday gift, the person who wrote the invitation should also be present. I wonder who it is. Could Elder Sheng introduce us to someone and give them a chance to explain. If there's any misunderstanding, we can apologize to them in person."
Sheng Huanan didn't expect such a turn of events. The smile on his face completely disappeared. Looking at Song Yi's smug face, he already had the idea of beating him up with his own hands.
But for the sake of his little Xihe, he endured it!
"Whether it's right or wrong, this old man just likes this calligraphy, and even more so the person who created it, the person..."
Before he could utter the words "He's gone", a female voice with a gloating tone sounded in the crowd, interrupting Mr. Sheng.
"The person is right next to us, Miss Xie. It has come to this. Do you still want Mr. Sheng to bear the pressure for you while you act like nothing happened?" Lin Ying looked in the direction of Xie Xihe and said with a look of disapproval.
Everyone followed Lin Ying's gaze and the crowd parted, revealing Xie Xihe outside the crowd to everyone's sight.
The girl had a beautiful face. When she raised her eyes slightly, her peach blossom eyes sparkled extremely. Even though she didn't show any emotion, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Especially under the warm yellow light, her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, making her look like a goddess who had strayed into the mortal world, with a kind of holy beauty that could not be desecrated.
Everyone was stunned.
Xie Xihe glanced at Lin Ying indifferently, his voice even colder than his gaze: "Do you really like to make a name for yourself so much?"
Lin Ying's expression changed slightly: "I'm just speaking up for Mr. Sheng!"
Xie Xihe curled his lips, seemingly nonchalantly, but the words he said made Lin Ying's expression change instantly.
She said, "Who do you think you are to speak up for Mr. Sheng?"
Lin Ying's pupils shrank, and as anger surged, he retorted without thinking: "What about you? Who do you think you are?!"
"She is my, Sheng Huanan's savior! She is also a distinguished guest of my Sheng family! And she is also my..." future daughter-in-law, my dear daughter!
Sheng Huanan was so angry that he almost blurted out something, but he barely managed to hold it back. However, his anger didn't diminish at all. He swept his eyes fiercely over Lin Ying and then landed on the head of the Su family. "Miss Xie's question is also what I want to ask. I would like to ask the head of the Su family, when will a descendant of your Su family be able to speak on my behalf and speak up for me?!"
The head of the Su family was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. He never expected that his daughter-in-law would be so ignorant as to get involved in the dispute between the Sheng and Song families and say such nonsense.
Who does she think she is? Does she have the right to speak here?!
Facing the oppressive gaze of Mr. Sheng, he felt weak. Angry and annoyed, he slapped Lin Ying in the face and shouted, "You idiot! Why don't you apologize to Mr. Sheng and Miss Xie?"
Lin Ying's eyes widened in disbelief, followed by an indescribable humiliation!
I wish I could yell back on the spot!
She opened her mouth, but before she could yell, Su Jinhe grabbed her wrist tightly.
Su Jinhe was almost pissed off by her today. His eyes were sinister and he lowered his voice into her ear and said, "Apologize!"
He gritted his teeth and threatened, "You've done a little business, and you really take yourself seriously, don't you? Lin Ying, I'm warning you, the Sheng family is not something our Su family can offend. Even my dad has to pretend to be a grandson in front of Old Sheng. If you offend Old Sheng, you don't have to stay in the Su family anymore!"
Lin Ying's pupils trembled violently, and he finally came to his senses.
Her eyes shifted violently for a full ten seconds before she finally closed them tightly and bowed in the direction of Old Master Sheng: "Sorry, Old Master Sheng, it was Lin Ying who overstepped her bounds!"
Mr. Sheng snorted coldly and did not respond.
Lin Ying knew what Mr. Sheng meant, but facing Xie Xihe's face, even if she prepared herself mentally, she couldn't say the words of apology. It wasn't until Su Jinhe leaned close to her ear and whispered something that her face suddenly changed, and she finally bent down: "I'm sorry, Miss Xie!"
After he finished speaking, he could no longer hold on. Tears of humiliation welled up in his eyes, and he ran out of the banquet hall in a very embarrassed manner.
This time, Su Jinhe did not chase after her. He stared at Lin Ying's back with a cold and gloomy expression.
Certain thoughts arose in my mind again.
Not many people took Lin Ying seriously, as she was just the second young lady of the Su family, who had no connections and no major affairs. After she ran away, they turned their attention to Xie Xihe again.
Well, the calligraphy work is not over yet.
Xie Xihe had already withdrawn her attention. Now her gaze remained on Lin Jingan, with a complicated look in her eyes.
After a long moment, she sighed silently, staring at Lin Jing'an and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Lin? Did I write this word wrong, or is there another reason?"
