272 The Mysterious Author
Of course, if Guan Lei was the ghost drawer for Shen Xi, she would probably be blacklisted by the Guan Family.
On the other side, Li Dan looked at Shen Xi’s painting with a frown and muttered, “What do you think? Were these paintings by Guan Lei or Shen Xi?”
“I’m thinking that Young Master Guan was brought up by Master Guan after all, so no matter how bad his drawing is, it won’t be any worse than Shen Xi’s. Besides, grandpa, you have a lot of pictures of young master’s paintings on your phone. It seems more likely to be his work.”
“What you said makes sense.” Li Dan put down the painting in his hand and said with difficulty, “If that’s the case, was this painting drawn by Young Master Guan for Shen Xi’s sake? Then it’s time for me to teach Shen Xi a good lesson.”
Li Jin quickly stopped him, “Grandpa, you mustn’t! You know the young master’s temper. If you ruin his plans, he’ll destroy our family. At that time, even uncle-grandpa might not be able to protect us.”
Thinking of Guan Lei’s bad temper, Li Dan had a headache.
Although he was an elder, Guan Lei was never afraid of the so-called elders. So, his granddaughter was right. Guan Lei wouldn’t do anything to him because of his age, but that might not be the case for his family business.
Li Jin sat next to Li Dan with a heavy expression. After thinking for a long time, she said, “Why don’t we forget about it? Grandpa, just pretend you don’t know about this. You’re not a judge anyway, so just don’t get involved in this mess. The day after tomorrow is the time to hand over the painting. When you return it to Shen Xi tomorrow, say something nice. If it’s hard to say, then don’t say anything and just let her take it back.”
Li Dan sighed deeply, thinking that this was the only way.
The next day, Li Dan said many things when Shen Xi came to pick up the painting. There were guidance and some that Shen Xi did not understand.
In the end, Li Dan just said meaningfully, “No matter what skill it is, you have to rely on yourself to train for a long time. You must not take shortcuts.”
Shen Xi looked at Li Dan with a sincere expression and said, “Grandpa Li, you’re right. I understand.”
Li Dan didn’t care if Shen Xi knew or if she was faking it. In the end, he just waved his hand and let Shen Xi leave.
Shen Xi felt that Li Dan was acting weird, but when he didn’t seem to have done anything strange.
On the other hand, Jiang Xue also finished the painting very quickly. She mounted the painting and started to appreciate it with satisfaction. She began to fantasize about the moment when she would beat Shen Xi and make her lose face.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar message appeared on Jiang Xue’s phone.
Jiang Xue opened it out of curiosity. There was only one sentence written on it, “Shen Xi stole someone else’s painting and used it as her work to participate in the Rong City Cup. The real author is Young Master Guan from the Guan Family in Beijing.” There were even photos of a few paintings attached.
Jiang Xue’s eyes widened and she immediately called back, but the number was not in service.
“Young Master Guan?” Jiang Xue mumbled this name and suddenly remembered. Wasn’t this the big shot that her mother had offended?
It turned out that Shen Xi was using the work of this so-called “Young Master Guan” to participate in the competition. Then, someone found out and told her.
Jiang Xue suddenly laughed. It seemed that Shen Xi had offended too many people and now someone wanted to mess with her.
Since she had the got a hold over her, how could she throw it away? It would be fine if she won this competition, but if she lost, Shen Xi wouldn’t be able to live well either!
If that “Young Master Guan” found out that Shen Xi had stolen his work to participate in the competition, then Shen Xi’s family would die an even uglier death than the Jiang family!
Jiang Xue clutched her phone tightly, and her sinister laughter resounded through the empty villa.
The Xiang couple, who had just returned, was also very happy. They had never expected that the bastard in Jiang Xue’s stomach would win them 50 million.
“I always thought that Xiang Tian was quite smart. I didn’t expect him to be so stupid as to believe that the child in Xue’er’s womb is Xiang Cheng’s.” Jiang Lun shook his head in disbelief.
Xia Chun also nodded. When they went there yesterday, Xiang Tian and his wife were still determined not to take Jiang Xue’s child and refused to pay.
When they went there today, Jiang Lun said that they would tell others that Xiang Cheng had drugged and raped Jiang Xue, causing her to get pregnant if they didn’t take out 50 million. As a result, the Xiang couple compromised.
Jiang Lun and Xia Chun were in a great mood at the thought of the 50 million income.
