Sun Suyun took the microphone and glanced at Grandpa Luo.
Seeing that the other person was smiling at her, she also showed what she thought was a sweet smile. It seemed that Mr. Luo had a very good impression of her.
Although she cannot become the granddaughter of the Luo family, it should not be a big problem for Grandpa Luo to introduce her to the mysterious calligraphy master hidden behind the scenes.
"First of all, I would like to thank the Luo family for giving me this platform, which allows me the opportunity to persist in doing charity work. I will continue to help those in need as I did before."
"Secondly, I know everyone has heard a lot of gossip about me, and I'd like to take this opportunity to explain to everyone that I am both the person I was before and the person I am now."
Sun Suyun finished speaking with great emotion.
The reaction at the scene was just as she expected, with applause coming one after another, and some even shouting her name to support her.
Old Master Luo nodded in appreciation: "Miss Sun, you said it very well. It's not easy for young people nowadays to have such a kind heart."
Hearing this, Sun Suyun became even more proud.
Receiving praise from Mr. Luo in public was enough for her to brag about for years!
Sun Suyun was about to say a few polite words when Mr. Luo impatiently interrupted her.
"Next, I would like to solemnly introduce to everyone the author of this calligraphy, my friend who also has a kind heart. Her name is..."
Old Master Luo narrowed his eyes with a sly smile, and deliberately left a sentence unsaid.
"Who is it, Mr. Luo? Please don't keep us in suspense. We haven't left yet and are waiting for you to unveil the mystery of this master!" Someone in the audience started to make a fuss.
Mr. Luo smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, I won't joke with you guys anymore. Her name is, Qiao! Ruo! Xi!"
Old Master Luo read out Qiao Ruoxi's name word by word in a loud voice.
After a moment of silence, the whole audience suddenly burst into thunderous exclamations.
"My dear Ruoxi, your calligraphy has been in the spotlight today and fetched the highest price in the auction. How about you come up on stage and say a few words?" As soon as Mr. Luo saw Qiao Ruoxi, his eyes involuntarily became much kinder.
Everyone looked at Qiao Ruoxi. It would have been fine if they hadn't looked, but once they did, they were fed a mouthful of dog food.
Pei Yaozhou stretched out his hand to smooth out every wrinkle on Qiao Ruoxi's clothes, then made a "please" gesture towards the stage.
In front of everyone, Qiao Ruoxi's delicate little face turned red.
She said "thank you" and strode onto the stage with confident steps, like a queen.
The moment Qiao Ruoxi stepped onto the stage, everything around her lost its color, especially Sun Suyun beside her.
The smile on Sun Suyun's face froze the moment Grandpa Luo said her name. She then realized that a few months ago, Grandpa Luo went to their department to buy calligraphy.
She went from suspicion to shock, to anger and jealousy, and finally to resentment.
"Ruoxi, say a few words to everyone." Old Master Luo handed the microphone in his hand to Qiao Ruoxi.
Qiao Ruoxi took it and nodded with a smile: "First of all, I'm not a master of calligraphy. It's my honor to be able to contribute to public welfare. Secondly..."
As she spoke, Qiao Ruoxi glanced at Sun Suyun beside her and said, "I have never accepted any apprentices. If anyone is using my name to deceive others, please remember not to believe or spread rumors."
After he finished speaking, laughter broke out from the audience.
The fact that Sun Suyun pretended to be the calligraphy master's apprentice was known to almost everyone at the auction. Qiao Ruoxi refuted the rumor and Sun Suyun instantly became the laughing stock of everyone.
"Qiao Ruoxi, you are delusional, right? Who wants to be your apprentice? I want a refund! I want a refund!"
Sun Suyun was so angry that her face turned red and white, and the calligraphy in her hand was like a hot potato.
"If Miss Sun doesn't like it, I'm willing to buy it at half price." Master He's voice sounded from behind the crowd.
Sun Suyun became even angrier when she heard this.
She and Qiao Ruoxi studied calligraphy in the same year. Why was Qiao Ruoxi's calligraphy favored by Master He and why was he willing to spend 40 million to buy it?
She is unwilling to accept it!
So he threw the calligraphy directly to the ground and stomped on it several times.
This move immediately aroused public outrage.
"Don't step on it! This woman is too petty! This is a work of art after all. Master He is willing to buy it at half price. Why not just sell it?"
"Not only is she petty, but she's also a liar. To become famous, she lied to us that she was Miss Qiao's apprentice. Now that she's been exposed, she's like a clown. It's hilarious."
"She's still clamoring for a return. Does she really think this is a wet market? I just praised her for being generous."
Sun Suyun wanted to return the goods and went straight to the host.
The host has hosted many events, big and small, but this is the first time he has encountered such an unreasonable shrew, and he looks embarrassed.
"Ms. Sun, would you like to take another look at the agreement? Once you sign it, there's no way to back out."
"You are making false advertising, saying that this calligraphy was created by a master. Believe it or not, I will go to the Consumers Association to sue you!" Sun Suyun was so excited that she spoke without restraint. After she finished speaking, she saw the calm face of Mr. Luo beside her.
"False propaganda? I wonder where Miss Sun saw or heard this propaganda, and what kind of propaganda did she hear?" Old Master Luo said coldly.
"I heard with my own ears that someone heard your staff say that this calligraphy was written by a master! Aren't you deliberately raising the value of these calligraphy works?" Sun Suyun argued.
At this moment, she no longer cared about offending the Luo family. It was obvious that the Luo family was on the same side as Qiao Ruoxi. She could only win the support of the onlookers.
