“No…” Wei Lingxi hurriedly retorted, “Because of the tight schedule, Master Huaji may not have had time to apply the wax.”
"That's ridiculous!" Wenjing felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit.
Wei Lingxi immediately put on a pitiful look, "Now the painting is ruined, and there's no way to send it back for waxing."
People began to criticize:
"Miss Qin, you're being too impulsive."
"This is a painting by Master Huaji, and you just burned it like that!"
Don't force your way into circles you can't fit into.
"A wicked woman's heart"
Tears streamed down Wei Lingxi's face as she spoke softly, "It's not her fault. I was just too anxious and forgot about applying the wax."
Everyone immediately became a superhero:
"Damn, what kind of twisted logic is that? How could it be your fault?"
"Ms. Wei, you are so kind."
"She has to pay compensation, or we'll sue her."
Ji Feng was practically laughing hysterically beside him. "Sorry, the tea here is a bit strong."
Li Huangchen was somewhat worried; this woman was too cunning.
Junyue walked to Grandpa Jun's side and asked, "Grandpa, could you contact Huaji Studio to inquire whether this painting exists?"
Wei Lingxi immediately composed herself. "I commissioned Huaji for a private custom design. The studio might not know that," she said, feigning grievance as she looked at everyone.
Qin Zhiluo had never seen such a strong green tea before. The people of Yundu were very simple and straightforward.
Long Yanli brought over a cake, "Have a piece of cake to cool down."
"Hahaha," Ji Feng really has a low threshold for laughter.
"Miss Wei, could you please make a phone call to Master Huaji?" Qin Zhiluo looked at her with her usual poise and grace.
“Master Huaji told me she was going into seclusion for a year,” Wei Lingxi thought to herself with secret delight. Master Huaji hadn’t produced any works in two years; who could possibly find her?
Everyone immediately echoed:
"Miss Qin, apologize now, stop struggling."
"Exactly, Miss Wei is so kind, she's not even angry with you."
"So much time wasted."
Qin Zhiluo then politely looked at Old Master Jun, "I'm sorry, Old Master Jun, it really took too long."
Qin Zhiluo picked up her phone and made a call, "Huaji is making a comeback, and we will announce one spot for now."
Long Yanli's heart pounded violently as he looked at the little girl with a deep expression. It turned out to be Hua Ji.
"Miss Qin, that's not how you make things up."
"Yeah, I've never seen such an arrogant person as you."
"How terrifying, I don't want to associate with this kind of person."
Wei Lingxi looked at her with a mocking gaze. Ha, a country bumpkin who dares to dream of being a Huaji master.
"Wow, Luo Luo, you're amazing!" Li Huangchen exclaimed, looking at the trending topics on his phone.
Master Huaji makes a comeback
Forwarded by the entire Chinese Painting Association
Chinese painting associations offered their congratulations.
Wei Lingxi's mind went blank for a moment. She quickly snatched the phone from the person next to her and collapsed to the ground in shock. "How is that possible? You're just a country bumpkin."
Junlin happily showed his phone to Grandpa Jun.
Grandpa Jun's eyes lit up as he walked unsteadily to Qin Zhiluo. "Are you the master of traditional Chinese painting, Hua Ji?"
"Master Jun, I'm sorry for taking up so much time," Qin Zhiluo said humbly as she helped him up.
"It is an honor for our Jun family that Master Huaji could attend my birthday banquet." Old Master Jun held her hand with a slight tremor.
The monsoon winds swept across the river, pulling back the black cloth that had been covering it, revealing a vibrant spring scene. Spring tides surged, and life burst forth. The river water was crystal clear, its ripples gentle, like graceful dancers swaying in the breeze. On the river's surface, the mist had not yet completely dissipated; it swirled like ethereal ribbons among the mountains and waters.
Qin Zhilu handed the painting to the steward, saying, "This is an apology gift, titled 'Spring River'."
Grandpa Jun looked at the painting with excitement, saying, "The words are finite, but the meaning is infinite; it is truly wonderful."
