Lin Li was walking at the back. Seeing that Hua Yuran, Long Ming, and Hua Yufeng hadn't gotten up yet, she walked over and said with a smile, "Yuran, Long Ming, Yufeng, you guys should go up too!"
"Now, your identities are different. If you go up, it will also be a great support for Xiaojuan."
Hua Yuran said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Aunt Lin, Yufeng just told me that the painting was painted by Yufeng!"
"sorry!"
Lin Li's face froze, and she immediately explained apologetically, "Yufeng, when Xiaojuan first saw the painting, she quietly confessed to me."
"I did take this painting from you and gave it to her professor as an assignment. However, she only found out about the professor entering it into the competition when she saw it just now."
"It's really not her fault. She was forced into this by the professor. At this point, she has no other choice."
"If she honestly says that this painting is not her work, then her reputation in the art industry will be ruined for the rest of her life."
"She is just like you. Painting is her ideal. She has sacrificed a lot for this ideal."
"You're also working hard for your dreams. You should be able to empathize with me and know how difficult it is to pursue your dreams. I hope Yufeng will consider us as a family and help Xiaojuan this time."
"Xiaojuan and I will be grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts!"
Hua Yufeng snorted in her heart, but still forced a smile on her face. Her eyes were reluctant and she nodded reluctantly.
"Since it wasn't intentional, I definitely won't ruin Xiaojuan in this situation!"
"It's just that I won't go up. To be honest, my painting was won by Xiaojuan, which is equivalent to Xiaojuan taking my award away. I still feel a little uncomfortable."
"They also want me to go on stage to support Xiaojuan, but I... can't seem to do it!"
Lin Li held Hua Yufeng's hand, full of apology and heartache for Hua Yufeng.
"Okay, then don't go up. I'm really sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. Aunt Lin and Xiaojuan both feel your kindness towards us."
"Yufeng, don't worry. Xiaojuan and I will work like slaves for you for the rest of our lives to repay you!"
"You've sacrificed so much for Xiaojuan!"
Hua Yufeng withdrew her hand from Lin Li's. She really didn't want to talk to Lin Li anymore and shook her head reluctantly.
Lin Li also really noticed that Hua Yufeng was different from usual.
In this situation, although she agreed not to expose Lin Xiaojuan, she should have looked aggrieved.
But she didn't see that Hua Yufeng felt wronged. She only saw that Hua Yufeng was impatient with her, and a hint of indifference and alienation.
There was no time now and she had to go on stage, so she didn't care about all these things and instead invited Hua Yuran and Long Ming.
Hua Yuran was still dissatisfied. "Aunt Lin, that was Yufeng's work. Perhaps, if Lin Xiaojuan confessed, the professor had entered it into the competition and won the award without her knowledge!"
"That way, the impact on her won't be so great, and she won't lose her foothold in this industry from now on."
"On the contrary, everyone will think that she is upright and honest, and she might be praised and respected!"
When Lin Li heard this, she quickly said, "Yuran, you can't do this. People nowadays are not as easy to talk to as they used to be."
"If we honestly say that the professor submitted her work for the competition, doesn't that mean Xiaojuan couldn't even complete her homework and had to submit her sister's work to make up for it?"
"That would also ruin Xiaojuan's reputation. Those people would think that Xiaojuan is not an honest person, and that she only confessed because she couldn't hide it any longer to try to get out of this situation and save her reputation."
"Anyway, Xiaojuan is ruined!"
Hua Yuran said somewhat displeasedly, "Okay, Yufeng has no objection, Xiaojuan is also my sister, so let's do this!"
"I won't go up. I want to stay here with Yufeng!"
When Lin Li heard this, she realized that Lin Haishan was calling her from above. She glanced at Long Ming, who was looking at her with interest, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.
Forget it, if Hua Yuran doesn’t go up, Long Ming certainly won’t go up either.
"Then Long Ming will stay down there with Yu Ran and Yu Feng!"
The smile on Long Ming's lips remained unchanged, and he didn't respond to her at all.
This made Lin Li feel inexplicably bad.
She couldn't figure out where this bad feeling came from!
At this time, Lin Haishan called her again, and she had to run up to the stage quickly.
The host responded, "Okay, our talented painter, Ms. Lin Xiaojuan, has just introduced herself. She's a college student majoring in fine arts."
"The person she is most grateful to is her mother. Now, her mother has come to the stage. Please invite Ms. Lin Li to talk about how she cultivated such a talented painter."
"Applause please!"
After the applause from the audience, Lin Li took the microphone from the host, walked to the front of the stage, and looked around the audience. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said emotionally, "First of all, I would like to thank the organizers for organizing such a grand and high-level competition, providing a platform for young painters from Xiaguo to showcase themselves."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another round of thunderous applause from the audience.
Lin Li smiled tearfully and continued, "My daughter has been gifted in art since she was young, especially in painting. Since kindergarten, she has been the best painter in her class."
"After elementary school, she was responsible for everything like the class blackboard newspaper. Since junior high, she has won awards in painting competitions held by the school, the province, and the city."
"I think that teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the most important thing. I haven't done much. I just observe her interests, follow her interests, and encourage her to do what she likes."
"Just like the painting she painted, 'Girl Chasing Light,' she is a girl who pursues light and, through her own efforts, walks towards a brilliant life. As long as she persists, she will eventually reach the other side of her dreams."
Lin Xiaojuan said at the right time, "Yes, my ability to stand on this podium is inseparable from my mother's support and help. It is her constant encouragement and love that have given me infinite courage and motivation to pursue my light and my dream!"
"My mother was watching me throughout the creation of this award-winning work. Although she is not a professional artist, she provided me with necessary advice from an observer's perspective, making this painting appealing to both the elite and the masses."
"Thank you, my beloved mother!"
Lin Xiaojuan opened her arms and hugged Lin Li.
These sentimental words and touching scenes made the audience in the audience couldn't help but applaud and cheer loudly once again.
"Sure enough, a child's success is inseparable from a good mother. This mother is a model of maternal love education."
"It was so touching. It was such a genuine and pure expression of emotion that it brought tears to my eyes."
"The world of an artist is very pure. This painting is so healing. It is worthy of being the family of a champion painter. Everyone is so sincere, kind and friendly."
