The picture frame fell to the ground, and the glass shattered all over the floor, making a loud bang in the quiet space, attracting almost everyone's attention.
Some even took out their cell phones and kept taking pictures of the people in the center of the storm.
Shi Wei clenched her fists, her fingertips dug into her palms, and glared at Liu Chunyan with red eyes, "Mom, if you want money, I'll give it to you. Why are you wasting my hard work?"
Liu Chunyan put her hands on her hips and said, "You talk nicely, but give it to me!"
She glanced at Zheng Hai standing beside her and said in a sharp and sarcastic voice, "You found a scapegoat before you even got divorced. Did I ever tell you that? Shi Wei, you should know what you have done!"
Shi Nian heard the whispers coming from beside her, her eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to retort Liu Chunyan, but Shi Wei beside her spoke before her.
"Don't deliberately say something ambiguous to ruin my exhibition. Tell me clearly what I have done."
Shi Wei's voice trembled. "After I graduated from junior high school, I wanted to continue my studies, but you confiscated my scholarship and forced me to go out to make money. When I turned 18, you forced me to get married. After I gave birth to a child, did you come to see me once when I was hospitalized due to domestic violence?"
Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I like painting. Have you ever supported me except for making sarcastic remarks since we were young? Now I have finally held an exhibition through my own efforts and the support of my friends. Just because I didn't give you the money from the sale of the paintings, you called me an unfilial daughter! You ruined my hard work! Liu Chunyan, haven't I given you enough money over the years? I don't owe you anything! You are now asking me for money to buy a house for my brother who is not related to me by blood. Why should I give it to you!"
The onlookers were talking about it and united in standing by Shi Wei.
"So he's a vampire who favors boys over girls!"
"Sister, don't cry. It's not worth it for someone who doesn't deserve to be a mother. You did nothing wrong, but you can't give her money! If you give her money this time, she will keep holding on to you and will ask you for it countless times in the future!"
"Old woman, why are you glaring at us? Did we say something wrong? There is no mother in the world who doesn't hope that her daughter will have a good life! But you came in and smashed the paintings and said some lies. What else could you do if not to make us misunderstand? I now doubt whether your daughter is your own!"
Liu Chunyan didn't expect that the timid Shi Wei would expose her past in public, causing public anger again.
She was pointed at on the nose and her face suddenly turned red and white.
Shi Wei's eyes felt hot, her nose felt sore, and tears welled up.
Zheng Hai's eyes showed heartache, and he wanted to reach out to comfort her. His fingers hovered over her shoulders, but he retracted them, took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and handed it to her.
Shi Wei took it, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and thanked her in a low voice.
The security guard rushed over, and Shi Nian pointed at Liu Chunyan and said, "She is the one causing trouble!"
The security guards received Zheng Hai's gaze and split into two groups, surrounding Liu Chunyan on both sides and carrying her out.
Liu Chunyan was furious, "Shi Wei, you are such an unfilial daughter, you will get your retribution sooner or later!"
Shi Nian walked over to Shi Wei and hugged her, "Sister, don't listen to her nonsense."
Shi Wei shook her head gently and lowered her head, "Nian Nian, you and Mr. Zheng can help me look at the exhibition. I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup."
"OK."
Shi Nian watched Shi Wei leave, and heard a puzzled voice behind her, "Hey, why did that beautiful sister leave? I want to buy a painting, will she be back soon?"
Shi Nian turned around and saw that many people were holding paintings in their hands. Surprise flashed in her eyes and she said quickly, "Come back! She will be back soon!"
As soon as Shi Wei came back, she was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people.
She was flattered and stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Shi Nian pushed Zheng Hai where Shi Wei couldn't see and lowered her voice, "Mr. Zheng, I'm watching Chenchen, you go over quickly!"
Shi Nian held Chenchen's hand and watched Zheng Hai's departing back. Seeing the beautiful picture of the two standing side by side, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
"Nian Nian, what happened just now?"
Shi Nian heard a familiar voice and turned to see Feng Sihan, "Sihan, you're here."
She explained, "Liu Chunyan came over to cause trouble just now, and was chased away by the security guards."
Shi Wei sold several paintings in a row, and after sending the customers away, she still couldn't believe it, "Niannian, someone actually bought my paintings."
She was a little worried, "They didn't buy it because they felt sorry for me or sympathized with me, did they?"
Shi Nian comforted her, "Sister, no, when you sold your first painting, Liu Chunyan hadn't come to cause trouble yet, have you forgotten? The price of your paintings is not cheap, they must have bought them because they like your paintings."
Zheng Hai spoke up, "Ms. Shi, go back and prepare some more paintings. We can postpone the exhibition while it's still popular."
Shi Wei was excited and nodded quickly, "Okay."
Shi Nian saw Feng Sihan checking the time frequently, and handed Chenchen back to Shi Wei, "Sister, Sihan and I have something to do, so we'll leave first."
She winked at Zheng Hai and said, "I feel relieved since Mr. Zheng is here."
Shi Nian followed Feng Sihan into the car, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "Sihan, I'm really happy for my sister."
She felt a little nervous when she thought that the people she was going to meet might be her biological parents whom she had never met before. The smile on her lips faded. "Shall we go directly to the hospital? Are they already in the hospital?"
"They have already finished taking blood and are back at the guesthouse to rest. You won't meet until the results of the paternity test come out."
Shi Nian's psychological pressure suddenly decreased and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Accompanied by Feng Sihan, she went to the hospital to draw blood, and they returned home together.
"Niannian, the results will probably be out within a week. If the results match, I'll arrange a meeting for you."
Shi Nian added, "If the results come out... and we don't match, you should also tell me, otherwise I will keep thinking about it."
"I will."
Shi Nian had mixed emotions. He turned his head to look out the car window and found that they had returned to the community without realizing it.
The car stopped at the entrance of the corridor, and Shi Nian saw Shi Wei's anxious figure through the car window.
She frowned, got out of the car and walked over quickly, "Sister, what happened?"
"The puppy you gave to Chenchen is missing."
Shi Nian comforted him, "Don't worry, maybe it's sleeping somewhere?"
"Chenchen couldn't find the puppy, so I searched the house carefully several times. I was sure it wasn't there. I was in a hurry to leave this morning and forgot to check whether the balcony window was closed... It must have run out through the gap in the balcony window!"
Shi Wei blamed herself, "Chenchen finally recovered. What would she do if the puppy was lost? It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened."
"It has already happened, there is no point in thinking about it."
Shi Nian comforted him, "Fortunately your floor is not high, the dog won't get hurt if it jumps down. It's probably still in the community. Si Han and I will help you look for it."
