Chapter 282 The Obsessive Painter 12 "A Unique Work?"
"Why should a mute, disabled person be allowed to do this?"
She murmured Jin Ye's caption, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
After her anger subsided, Su Qingyan calmed down and began to plan again.
Since direct confrontation and infiltration had both failed, she decided to change her strategy.
If you can't replace that mute woman, then become her.
Over the next few weeks, Su Qingyan collected information about Bai Zixi, trying to imitate everything about her.
She analyzed Zixi's clothing style through the photos she secretly took.
A simple cotton maxi dress in an elegant color scheme, occasionally accented with pale purple.
She even managed to find a shampoo with the same gardenia scent as Bai Zixi.
"Appearances can be imitated, but how do you cultivate that damn charisma?"
Su Qingyan practiced Zi Xi's quiet gaze and slightly bowed head posture in front of the mirror, but she always felt that something was wrong.
She herself knew that there was too much calculation hidden in her eyes, and that she could not replicate that natural clarity.
Nevertheless, Su Qingyan still dressed up in Zi Xi's style and came to the vicinity of the manor again.
He even deliberately lingered in places where Jin Ye might appear.
Finally, one day she saw Jin Ye's car drive out of the manor.
She stood by the roadside, striking a pose most like Zi Xi, looking down at the picture book in her hands.
The car slowly came to a stop, and the windows rolled down.
Su Qingyan's heart raced, but she tried her best to maintain that quiet and innocent expression.
Jin Ye looked at the woman coldly.
"Mr. Jin, I..."
"I admire your work very much and hope to have the opportunity..."
Su Qingyan deliberately softened her voice.
Jin Ye suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He recognized her; she was the cleaning lady who had been kicked out.
Stared at like that, Su Qingyan's heart sank, but she still forced herself to remain calm: "I know my previous approach was wrong, but I really..."
"Even dressed like her, she's still so ugly?"
"It's like a clown dressed up as a princess, it's ridiculous."
Jin Ye interrupted her, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
The car window rolled up, and the car drove away without hesitation, leaving Su Qingyan standing there, her face turning from red to white, her whole body trembling.
Filled with shame and indignation, Su Qingyan began to spread rumors.
She posted anonymously on an art forum, implying that Jin Ye's exclusive model was not worthy of his talent and was just a mute who rose to fame by pretending to be innocent.
They also contacted several small media outlets, offering so-called exclusive scoops.
Bai Zixi is portrayed as a scheming woman who actually manipulates Jin Ye by exploiting his psychological weaknesses.
But all these efforts were in vain.
Nothing can keep up with the actions of Jin Ye's legal team.
The larger media outlets simply dared not offend an artist who was at the height of his fame.
What devastated Su Qingyan even more was that, in an exclusive interview with the only authoritative art magazine, Jin Ye openly called Bai Zixi the first true source of inspiration in his life.
"Others are merely forms, but she is light itself."
"So those rumors are simply nonsense."
During the interview, Jin Ye rarely showed an expression that was almost gentle.
This interview sparked a new wave of curiosity in the art world about Zi Xi.
Many people began inquiring about how to invite her to collaborate, and some brands even wanted her to endorse art-related products.
Without exception, Jin Ye rejected all of these invitations.
"You don't need to pay attention to these things. They don't care about you; they care about your connection to me."
"I didn't mean to belittle you at all. I was just worried that you might be used by someone with ulterior motives to sow discord between us."
After Jin Ye finished speaking, he offered an explanation.
Bai Zixi is too naive; he would never allow anyone to stir up trouble and affect their relationship.
But no matter how you try to explain it, it just feels like you're making things worse.
But wouldn't this offend people? Perhaps there are some opportunities worth considering?
Zi Xi shook her head to indicate that it was okay and typed on the tablet.
