Old Madam Lin sneered, "Just a little cold, and you speak to your sister in this tone? Do you believe what you say?"
"If you're jealous, then so be it. What's the use of admitting it? If you insist on hiding it, the gap between you and Xiaojuan will only get wider in the future."
"Instead of continuing to paint, it would be better for you to copy Buddhist scriptures for me and accumulate more good karma so that you can have more blessings in the second half of your life."
"You won't copy Buddhist scriptures for me again, and you say I'm wasting your time. Haha, I think you don't need to continue painting. It's nothing!"
She really couldn't stand Hua Yuran and Hua Yufeng. They were just rich girls, but they were all ignorant and stupid girls.
Old Mrs. Lin has always been upset because Hua Yufeng no longer copied Buddhist scriptures for her.
If he didn't want to copy Buddhist scriptures for her, he should have told her directly instead of asking Long Ming to return the scriptures and making it seem like she had done something to humiliate her granddaughter, as if copying some Buddhist scriptures would hinder Hua Yufeng's future.
She really didn't know how to appreciate a good person. She felt even colder towards Hua Yufeng.
Lin Li quickly said, "Mom, you don't know, Yufeng's painting skills are very good. Given time, she can really stand on this podium."
"Don't talk about her like that. She's still young, just a little older than Xiaojuan. She'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Don't hit her like that!"
Old Mrs. Lin snorted coldly, turned her head and looked at the stage.
Lin Li turned to comfort Hua Yufeng, "Yufeng, don't mind it. Although grandma said that, in fact, she loves you in her heart and wants you to be better, so she said that to you!"
Hua Yufeng looked at Lin Li and tried to smile more naturally, but her smile still seemed a little stiff.
She really has no talent in acting.
"Aunt Lin, I know. Grandma always speaks like this. It doesn't matter."
Old Madam Lin never even looked at the Hua sisters. Hua Yufeng didn't lie. She really didn't mind what Old Madam Lin said.
However, Lin Li still noticed that Hua Yufeng today was indeed different from usual.
However, she still smiled and said, "I knew you were such a good girl. Any effort will be rewarded. You have to believe this. If you work harder, you will definitely succeed."
Hua Yufeng sneered in her heart and was about to continue talking to her when the voice of the award ceremony host suddenly sounded on the stage, causing her to naturally turn her head to look at the stage and ignore Lin Li.
"Thank you all very much for coming to the awards ceremony of the Great Xia Kingdom's annual art competition. The process and progress of the competition are constantly being played on the advertising screen outside. I believe everyone is familiar with it."
"Now, everyone is waiting to admire the winners' works, so I won't say any more nonsense."
"Ms. MC, please bring out the winning entries of the competition!"
“The works will be displayed starting from the tenth place, with the winning works displayed first, and the names of the painters of the winning works will be revealed last.”
"Please welcome the tenth winning entry, 'The Old Man and the Tree'!"
A tall emcee, holding a framed painting, walked out slowly with her long legs.
In the VIP seats, a middle-aged painter and several family members around him suddenly cheered.
The reporters immediately turned their cameras and took a lot of pictures of them.
The emcee walked to the edge of the podium holding the painting and placed it on the wooden stand beside the podium so that the people below could see it clearly.
At the same time, the painting also appeared very clearly on the huge electronic screen behind the podium, and the winning comments of the painting were also written on the screen.
The host asked the winning painter and his family members to come to the stage and asked the winner, "Are you sure this is your painting?"
After the winning painter answered in the affirmative, the host said, "Congratulations! First, please introduce yourself and your family members who support you!"
The painter was extremely excited. He introduced himself with a red face, talked about his creative process, and then thanked his relatives around him.
The host then unveiled the piece of cloth covering the name on the painting and announced loudly, "Yes, the tenth-place winner is Mr. Lin Yiyuan!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin Yiyuan. Now, please welcome Mr. Zhu Biqian, an old painter from Xia State, to present the award to Mr. Lin Yiyuan."
What followed was warm applause from the audience.
The second work, the third work...
The winning works were brought out one after another, and the winning authors and their family members who came to support them were invited to the stage to show their faces. Finally, the cloth covering the names was removed, allowing famous painters to come out to present the awards.
As more works were displayed, Lin Xiaojuan's heart beat faster.
Lin Li and the Lin family became more and more excited.
Because the last you present your work, the better your ranking will be.
Until the ninth work was brought out, it was still not Lin Xiaojuan's work.
This made Lin Xiaojuan's face turn red with excitement.
She held Lin Li's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Mom...is the champion!"
Lin Li was also extremely excited. If Lin Xiaojuan won the championship, she would truly become a phoenix that had flown to the top of the tree.
This will inevitably attract the attention of more prominent families and increase her own capital to match the status of the prominent families.
Sure enough, the last work mentioned was the "Girl Chasing the Light".
As the host introduced the work, Lin Xiaojuan couldn't help but jump up and scream.
"That's my work. I'm the top winner of this competition!"
"It's me, Lin Xiaojuan!"
Her voice immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. All the reporters' cameras were pointed at her, taking photos, recording videos, and even broadcasting live.
