Juliana refused, "No."
Zoe sneered at Juliana, "I think you are afraid to draw it because you have not drawn "The Peach and the Plum"."
Juliana raised her eyes and looked at her indifferently.
Zoe was a little diffident but she still straightened her neck and looked at Juliana with her chin up, "You said that my teacher Randall is no better than you, but now you dare not draw "The Peach and the Plum" in public?"
The crowd had only been watching them, but when they heard that Juliana was comparing herself with Randall, they were irritated.
Someone asked, "What's going on? Randall's no better than her?"
Zoe had only repeated what Juliana had just said, without adding the trimmings.
But even that was enough to get the crowd riled up.
Randall was not only good at ink painting but was also a cartoonist welcomed by all people.
Now, Ms. "Good for Nothing" said that Randall was not as good as her. How could they put up with that?
