Xu Mo looked at his third sister, Xu Qingxue: "Third sister, does the Dean like that painting, 'Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers'?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue was clearly in a good mood: "The Dean was also very shocked when he first saw the painting, 'Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers,' because he had not seen such a huge painting in a long time. He was full of praise for the positive and untamed spirit it contained and inquired about it."
Xu Mo frowned and asked, "What did he ask?"
Third sister Xu Qingxue asked, "How long did it take you to paint this 'Landscapes of Ten Thousand Miles'?"
Xu Mo was annoyed: "What did you say to him?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue: "I did have the idea of taking this painting for myself, but some paintings are not painted by me, so there is no point in pretending. Another reason is that the dean saw some inappropriate things in it."
Xu Mo asked, "Is he dissatisfied with my painting?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue said awkwardly, "No, it's because the painting is filled with too strong masculine energy, and I am a woman. It's completely unreasonable for me to be able to paint such a painting. The dean can naturally see these problems and therefore raised the issue."
Xu Mo blamed himself, saying, "It was my oversight. What did the dean say in the end? Did he intend to punish you? Or perhaps prevent you from becoming the dean of Xinghe Art Academy?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue calmly said, "The Dean had no such intentions. The questions he raised were just inquiries about me. How could a woman like me create such a bold and magnificent work?"
Xu Mo asked again, "What was your answer?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue spread her hands and said, "Of course I confessed to him. I told him that this painting was yours and that it was also your work, with the title 'Dawn'. I thought the Dean would be very surprised when he heard about the painting, but do you know what expression the Dean had at that time?"
Xu Mo naturally didn't think the dean of Xinghe Art Academy was a fool, nor did he think the leaders were fools. With their experience, they must have seen that there was a problem with the painting long ago, but they didn't expose Third Sister Xu Qingxue. This shows that they really liked the painter, who was creative and talented.
This made Xu Mo curious about the dean's attitude: "Dean, what was your expression at the time?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue said with a smile, "He didn't have any obvious change in expression at the time, basically he had no expression at all. I can tell from this that he already knew that what I taught him was not my own creation. He didn't expose me because he just wanted to discuss art with you and hoped that I could provide him with your contact information, or arrange for you to meet with him."
"Actually, I neither refused nor agreed to this matter at the time. When I came back, I thought about mentioning it to you, Xiao Mo, and asking for your opinion. If you were willing, I would send him a message to arrange a meeting between you, or provide him with your contact information."
The other four sisters were shocked by the incident.
Eldest sister Xu Qingcheng: "The dean of Xinghe Art Academy can't be a fool, but I respect his spirit of advocating art!"
Second sister Xu Ruyan: "Talent is always scarce. The fact that the director of Xinghe Art Academy made such a request must have been after careful consideration. This also shows that he is a person who truly respects art!"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting: "A leader will not waste a person's talent, nor will he be jealous of you and want to destroy you because you surpass him. Of course, if he can destroy you, it only means that you are not strong enough!"
Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan: "It's just art, Fourth Sister, do you have to say it like that? Or are you dissatisfied with Xiao Mo's arrangements? Is that why you want to stir up trouble between Third Sister and the Dean?"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting coldly said, "Fifth Sister, you're quite adept at twisting the meaning of a topic. Are you trying to teach me how to do things? Or are you trying to stir up conflict among the five of us sisters so you can reap the benefits? But have you ever considered that even if you please Third Sister, she won't share any of the money she earns with you!"
Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan, having her secret exposed, immediately lowered her head and muttered, "I didn't have such thoughts. You're clearly framing me. Besides, we're sisters. How could I possibly have such bad intentions?"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting scoffed: "Whether you have bad intentions or not, you know it in your heart... Do I need to say more? Or do you think none of us here can see through your little schemes? Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, Xu Mo just won't mention it!"
Fifth Sister Xu Wenwan bit her lip, got off the sofa and went upstairs, because she really couldn't stay here any longer.
Third sister Xu Qingxue complained, "Fourth sister, although what fifth sister said just now was a bit excessive and even had the intention of sowing discord, you shouldn't have criticized her like that. After all, she is your sister!"
Fourth Sister Xu Mengting snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that her sisters had stopped arguing, Xu Mo stepped forward and said, "Alright, we're all sisters, there's no need to quarrel over such a small matter."
Then he added, "Fifth Sister is really something. She started the conflict herself. Fourth Sister only said a few words to her, and she got angry and went upstairs. I was planning to take her out to make money tomorrow, but since that's the case, let's just forget about it. I'll try to help her again when there's a better time later."
Upon hearing this, the fourth sister, Xu Mengting, couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
At this moment, the third sister, Xu Qingxue, asked, "Xiao Mo, would you be interested in meeting the dean of our Xinghe Art Academy? Sometimes I really think he is a good dean who respects art."
Xu Mo calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip of water: "A good dean? Do you really think he's a good dean? My foolish third sister! If you're really that smart, then let me ask you, why can't you even draw a picture properly?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue's smile froze: "Xiao Mo, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Mo tapped his head with his index finger and said, "If he really is a good dean, then why did he propose to meet with me? Why didn't he contact me through you, the middleman?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue explained, "That's because he's eager to find talented people and respects art, so he wanted to meet with you to discuss some artistic issues."
Xu Mo was truly stunned by his third sister's stupidity: "Third sister, you're an adult now. Can you please stop having such childish ideas? You should know that once I meet him, or if you give him my contact information, then I want to ask you, do you still have any reason to exist?"
Third Sister Xu Qingxue was speechless for a moment. After sorting things out in her mind, she realized that it seemed to be true.
