Chapter 32: Art Exhibition
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Li was still sitting there without moving. Her eyes were still indifferent. It was obvious that she was not interested in any of this.
"Sister, you are amazing. I just don't know how many more winning works you can draw."
She knew very well that there were only a few paintings that she had given to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang.
Jiang Man probably did not have Jiang Li's other works in her hands.
Jiang man's expression froze when she said those words that were neither light nor heavy. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and stopped talking.
However, many people at the scene immediately jumped up and pointed at Jiang Li while scolding her.
"Shut up, you only know how to brag. With how amazing Manman is, she will definitely be able to draw better and get more awards."
"That's right. I think she's clearly jealous. Manman's kindness to her has been in vain. She's not even grateful to Manman's kindness."
Jiang Man was very proud of herself.
However, she was afraid that things would get out of hand. If she were to draw in front of everyone, she would really be exposing herself.
Jiang Man waved her hand and tried to persuade them with a weak expression.
"Alright, everyone, don't say that. Drawing is just to cultivate one's temperament. It's not for a competition. Everyone, stop making things difficult for my sister."
Jiang Man's words immediately attracted another round of praise.
Seeing that Jiang Li was still indifferent, Su Tongtong could not help but ask her curiously, "Ah Li, do you really know how to paint?"
Jiang Li recalled that she once loved painting.
"I just liked it."
At the moment, she did not need it anymore.
"You like it? Then let's go to the art exhibition at noon," Su Tongtong said excitedly.
Since there was nothing else to do, Jiang Li agreed.
Although Yangming's art exhibition was organized by the school, it still attracted a large number of famous people to come and support it.
In the end, it was also a promotional activity. The art exhibition was in the large exhibition hall on the first floor. There were many works that had been sent to the exhibition by famous artists. There were also many good paintings. Jiang Li admired them carefully along the way.
Jiang Man's paintings had won awards, so they were hung in the most conspicuous position in the exhibition hall, attracting many people's praise.
The other artists only appeared for a short while, but Jiang Man had been standing in front of her painting ever since the exhibition started. Many people who came to see the painting praised her endlessly when they heard that she was the author.
"Although this painting is a painting of scenery, it has integrated the scenery into the state of mind. The entire painting shows a cold yet domineering aura. I really did not expect the original author to be Miss Jiang, the daughter of such a gentle and elegant aristocratic family. It's really surprising."
A well-known artist from the Shanghai Art Association was especially impressed by this painting and kept praising Jiang Man.
"Miss Jiang's state of mind must be different from an ordinary person. Even I feel inferior to her."
"Yeah, she's high-minded and arrogant. She doesn't lose her pure heart when it comes to scenery and objects."
Other professional writers also came over to appreciate the painting.
Jiang Man stood in front of everyone's admiring eyes and could not hide the pride in her heart anymore.
"I'm also very happy to be acknowledged by all the teachers. Actually, I didn't draw to win an award at the beginning. I just spent some time when I was free and didn't spend so much energy on it. I didn't expect to gain something from it. I'm also very surprised."
"Ah, you've achieved so much just by spending some time. Miss Jiang is really a genius young lady."
"Such a rare genius. I really admire you..."
At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
"Look, isn't that Ninth Master Fu? He's here to watch the art exhibition too!"
"Really, it's Ninth Master Fu. He's a rare figure, but I didn't expect to meet him here."
When the painters heard this, they immediately abandoned Jiang Man and went to the entrance.
When they heard Fu Jiuxiao coming over, Jiang Li was still indifferent as if she did not know this person.
She did not want to expose what happened between them to the public.
Soon, Fu Jiuxiao's bodyguards came in. After making sure that the venue was safe, they opened a path for him. Then, Fu Jiuxiao entered the exhibition hall in a wheelchair, surrounded by his bodyguards.
At this time, he was wearing a light gray casual suit, a white shirt, and no tie. This light-colored casual outfit diluted the cold and domineering aura on his body, and it made him look more refined, which was somewhat in line with today's art exhibition.
Fu Jiuxiao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people around.
"Wow, Ninth Master looks different today! He's so handsome!"
"Yeah, he's even more handsome than Fu Yunze. He's rich and has a lot of money, but unfortunately, his legs are inconvenient."
"Yeah, yeah, but that face is still so dreamy... if it weren't for the rumors of him being abusive, I would have wanted to..."
"What do you want to think about? Do you think you can dream about Ninth Master? Dream On!"
The discussion entered Jiang Li's ears. It seemed that Fu Jiuxiao had gained a large number of fans here.
It was the same in his previous life. No matter where he went, he would always be the center of attention.
Jiang Li smiled indifferently. She wanted to take advantage of the time when there were fewer people to look at a few more paintings.
She did not expect Fu Jiuxiao to stop at the paintings behind Jiang Man.

Fu Jiuxiao stopped in front of the paintings and looked at them. His grayish-blue eyes flashed with a dark light.
For a moment, the surrounding air became quiet.
Fu Jiuxiao was the center of attention, so his focus also was the center of attention.
Many people looked at Jiang Man with envy. She did not expect to receive so much attention today.
For a moment, Jiang Man was ecstatic. She wanted to show off in front of Fu Jiuxiao, but she was stopped by his bodyguards. She looked a little embarrassed in front of everyone.
Fu Jiuxiao looked at the paintings for a long time before he left. He then gestured toward the staff members there.
A staff member from Yangming came up and asked respectfully, "Mr. Fu, what can I do for you?"
"I want all three paintings. Name your price."
When the school officials heard this, a flattering smile appeared on their faces.
"Mr. Fu, I didn't expect our art exhibition to have such an unexpected harvest. Okay, we will discuss it with the author right away."
At that moment, the atmosphere in the exhibition hall reached its peak.
"It's a great honor for Master Fu Jiu to be interested in the paintings.".
"Who are the authors of those paintings?"
"It's her, the second miss of the Jiang family. Rumor has it that her three paintings have all won awards, but there are very few of her works on the market. I didn't expect that Master Fu Jiu would take a fancy to them as soon as they were exhibited."
"Ah, I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be such a young girl. What an eye-opener."
In an instant, Jiang Man's reputation rose in the entire exhibition hall, and she was in the limelight.
Facing the crowd's fawning, Jiang Man could not hide the smug look on her face.
"Manman, that's great. Your painting has been appreciated by Ninth Master Fu."
"I told you you could do it."
"Yeah, our Manman is the best."
Jiang Manman chuckled a few times, but she did not say anything.
Toward this classmate who came over to talk to her, she changed from being polite to being arrogant.
Soon, the school staff called Jiang Man away. They were probably discussing the sale of the paintings.
At this moment, Jiang Li was watching coldly from the corner.
Jiang Li did not want to join in the fun, but who knew that Fu Jiuxiao wanted to buy her paintings.
Did he really like these paintings, or was it just a publicity stunt?
Jiang Li thought that she was just watching a show. At this moment, Fu Jiuxiao happened to turn around and saw her precisely in the crowd.
Their eyes met, and Fu Jiuxiao subconsciously fixed his gaze on her.
However, Jiang Li was one step faster than him and looked away. In her eyes, everything had passed without a trace.
Fu Jiuxiao also turned around expressionlessly and continued to talk to the school staff about buying the painting.
Jiang Man was finally allowed to come forward, and she was ecstatic.
This time, Fu Jiuxiao wanted to buy her painting. That mean that he was interested in her as well, right?
That was great. This time, she wanted to show that country bumpkin, Jiang Li, that Fu Jiuxiao really liked her. That country bumpkin really worked hard for a million years, but she could not compare to Jiang Man!
With her hair hanging down, Jiang Man walked up and said in a sweet voice.
"Ninth Master, I didn't expect you to like artworks too. It's my honor that you chose my painting."
Fu Jiuxiao did not reply for a long time.
Just as Jiang Man bit her lip in embarrassment, the man looked back at the paintings. "Are you the author?"
Jiang Man was flattered. She did not expect Fu Jiuxiao to talk to her, so she did not know what to say.
"Yes, it's me!"
"Miss Jiang, what's your relationship with the illustrator of AK Magazine, Fox?"
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment. AK Magazine?
AK Magazine was an internationally famous painting periodical, the dream place of many illustrators.
Jiang man naturally had not seen Fox's paintings, so she coughed awkwardly and changed the topic.
"Why did Ninth Master bring this up?"
Fu Jiuxiao's expression became serious.
"Aren't you Fox? Although these three are landscape paintings, one of them is exactly the same as Fox's comic scenes. These strokes and color matching are also unique to Fox."
Under Fu Jiuxiao's unusually cold gaze, Jiang Man panicked. "This... this..."
The others were also puzzled.
"Who is that Fox?" Someone picked up his phone to check.
"Turns out that illustrator Fox is famous. Her works are gorgeous, but the plot is quite dark and cruel. Fox once said that it was a portrayal of her life."
"Fox has a lot of fans, but the author is also very mysterious. No one knows her identity in real life."
At this point, someone looked at Jiang Man doubtfully. Why would a scene created by Fox appear in her paintings?
"Then... could it be plagiarism?"
