The host took a deep breath and asked, "Can you come up?"
Hua Yufeng walked confidently with her long legs to the podium in full view of everyone.
Old Madam Lin couldn't help but yell, "Yufeng, what are you doing?"
"This painting was clearly drawn by Xiaojuan, how come it's your work?"
"Why is your name the author of this painting?"
"Are you doing something behind my back?"
Hua Yufeng looked at Old Lady Lin with some disappointment, "Grandma, what do you think I could do?"
Mrs. Lin said impatiently, "How should I know? We are clearly here to attend Xiaojuan's award ceremony, so how come the winning work has become your name?"
"Xiao Li and Xiao Juan just confirmed that the girl chasing the light was drawn by Xiao Juan."
"What it shows is that Xiaoli has always supported and encouraged Xiaojuan in her pursuit of her ideals."
"Then this painting was drawn by Xiaojuan. They wouldn't lie!"
"You'd better explain clearly how you managed to get Xiaojuan's work to become your name?"
Mrs. Lin's words once again focused everyone's attention on Hua Yufeng's face.
Just now, Lin Li’s speech and her interaction with Lin Xiaojuan moved most of the people present.
Lin Li's maternal love and Lin Xiaojuan's gratitude showed the excellence of this mother and daughter, and made many people's eyes tear up.
They clapped their hands until they were red and gave them the warmest applause.
Moreover, listening to the conversation between Old Lady Lin and Hua Yufeng, they are also grandparents and grandchildren.
From Mrs. Lin's questioning of Hua Yufeng, it can be seen that Hua Yufeng is not a good person.
They all stared at Hua Yufeng, waiting to see what she would say.
Hua Yufeng looked at Lin Xiaojuan, whose expression was stiff, and said, "Xiaojuan, do you want to explain what's going on?"
Lin Xiaojuan's body trembled, "I..."
For a moment, she really didn't know how to explain!
This painting was drawn by Hua Yufeng. As long as Hua Yufeng doesn't cooperate, she will be exposed!
Her face flushed with anxiety, and she grabbed Lin Li's arm, "Mom, please tell Yufeng!"
Lin Li's forehead was already breaking out in sweat. She hurried over and grabbed Hua Yufeng's arm. In full view of everyone, she leaned close to Hua Yufeng's ear and said, with a hint of grievance, in a voice only Hua Yufeng could hear, "Yufeng, this is Xiaojuan's professor who submitted her homework for the competition. I told you this."
"You also have to promise to give this work to Xiaojuan and not expose her and destroy her!"
"Hurry up and explain to everyone, tell everyone that this was drawn by Xiaojuan and the name on it was wrong."
Hua Yufeng found it funny, but also whispered a little aggrievedly, "But Aunt Lin, how can I explain this situation? My name is on the artwork."
"If I don't explain it properly and people think I'm plotting and trying to steal my sister's work, wouldn't that ruin me?"
Lin Li's eyes suddenly widened.
It seems to be the case!
She swallowed hard and said anxiously, "Just say this was a misunderstanding. When you submitted your work for the competition, you wanted to play a joke on Xiaojuan and secretly changed the signature on it!"
"This is just a joke between you sisters. Xiaojuan and I will explain it to you and minimize the impact it has on you."
"Besides, haven't you always disliked fame and fortune, and pursued a state of indifference and clarity of purpose?"
"Yufeng, as a way of repaying me for taking care of you with all my might over the years, let me make up for what I owe to my own children."
"You know, I neglected them because of you. I owe them so much!"
Hua Yufeng sneered in her heart. At this time, Lin Li still wanted to morally blackmail her!
Fortunately, her sister Hua Yuran discovered Lin Li's true face.
Otherwise, she really was fooled by Lin Li.
She was about to speak when she saw the huge electronic screen behind the podium switch the picture.
A video appeared above, which was a surveillance video of "The Girl Chasing Light" created by Hua Yufeng.
Hua Yufeng's studio has cameras installed to prevent theft.
Of course, this was not obtained by Hua Yufeng, but by Long Ming.
In the accelerated surveillance video, you can see the entire process of Hua Yufeng creating "The Girl Chasing Light".
The beginning of the painting, the middle of the painting, and the completed work are all very clear.
From this process, we can see that Hua Yufeng was very focused when creating, and she almost completed it in one go. This shows her skilled techniques, solid foundation, and keen ability to capture light and shadow.
Then, the scene changed again, recording Lin Li and her daughter Lin Xiaojuan going to the studio to choose a painting.
During this period, Hua Yufeng's conversations with the two were clearly recorded.
Because Lin Xiaojuan was injured and unable to complete the homework assigned by the professor, she took Hua Yufeng's painting and submitted it to the school as her homework.
After the video was played, the whole audience was silent and you could hear a pin drop!
The fact is very clear, "The Girl Chasing Light" is the work of Hua Yufeng, not Lin Xiaojuan.
Lin Xiaojuan took Hua Yufeng's work, claimed it as her own, and used it to participate in the competition!
Isn’t this a serious act of plagiarism in the industry?
wrong!
This is clearly worse than plagiarism. Plagiarism is just copying other people's ideas, but Lin Xiaojuan's behavior is like robbery!
The whole audience was suddenly in an uproar.
"Oh my god, this piece of work really wasn't painted by Lin Xiaojuan, it was painted by Hua Yufeng. Such a little girl is really evil from the inside out. It's ok to fake the homework, but she even took her own sister's painting and claimed it as her own."
"Just now, that mother, Lin Li, said in person that she witnessed Lin Xiaojuan painting this picture. She even put on such a show of motherly love in front of us. She really is treating us like fools!"
"As the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked too. Like mother, like daughter. You took someone else's work and brazenly proved it was your daughter's work in front of all of us, the real owner of the work. How thick-skinned must you be to do that?"
······
Just now, Lin Li and her daughter moved the people present, but now, these people are just as angry.
This feeling of being deceived really made everyone feel ashamed and angry. They couldn't help but criticize and even curse Lin Li and Lin Xiaojuan's behavior.
At this point, any excuses were useless. Lin Xiaojuan's face had already turned red, and she wished she could dig a hole and escape.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to escape from this podium.
She burst into tears of grievance and buried her head in Lin Li's arms.
Lin Li's face was also extremely ugly. Not only was her face red, but the tips of her ears were also red. She hugged the crying Lin Xiaojuan and was also at a loss.
