Chapter 790: The Person I’m Looking For Is Miss Qiao
Tang Ruge went forward shyly.
Carter sized her up. Everyone said that the person she was looking for was this lady, so it should not be wrong. However, this lady seemed to be different from what Han Ye had described!
Han Ye said that his wife was young, beautiful, pure, and cute. However, although the woman in front of her could be considered young and beautiful, she lacked innocence. She was not cute at all.
Could it be that in Han Ye’s eyes, his wife was an innocent and cute young lady?
Carter had always been looking forward to seeing Han Yin, but she was very disappointed to see her now. She did not like the woman in front of her at first glance, but out of courtesy, she still smiled gently.
Tang Ruge could not suppress the excitement in her heart. The Tang family also raised their heads proudly.
Because of what had happened yesterday, Tang Ruge had lost her reputation in public. Now, it did not matter even if Senior Cui Xian liked Qiao Xi. After all, Tang Ruge had an even stronger backer now.
From now on, Qiao Xi could only be trampled under Tang Ruge’s feet. Qiao Xi would be forced to watch Tang Ruge become a top figure in the oil painting world.
Tang Ruge was so excited that her entire body was trembling. As long as she became Madam Carter’s apprentice, she would be the true number one socialite in the capital. No one would be able to compare to her anymore.
She admitted that Qiao Xi was better-looking than her, but what was the point of just being good-looking? The most important thing was talent and identity!
Tang Ruge walked in front of Carter and said respectfully and gently, “Madam Carter.”
Carter nodded slightly, but she still felt that the woman in front of her was different from what Han Ye had described. However, her expression was still calm. She did not reveal any doubts, nor did she reveal Han Yin’s identity. This was because Han Ye had long said that Han Yin did not want to expose her identity in front of everyone.
“Hello, Miss Qiao. As the founder of the oil painting exhibition, I’m very happy that you’re here for this art exhibition. Have you thought about what we previously discussed?”
Miss… Qiao?
Madam Tang’s expression suddenly stiffened as she subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi seemed to be the only one with the surname Qiao in the entire exhibition hall.
Tang Lingyun also asked with a puzzled expression, “Madam Carter, did you call her by the wrong name? My sister’s surname is Tang.”
Tang Ruge lowered her eyes. She had a bad feeling, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
The air was silent for a few seconds. Carter said in confusion, “I didn’t get the name wrong. The person I’m looking for is Miss Qiao.”
Madam Tang took a deep breath and asked unwillingly, “The Miss Qiao you’re talking about is…”
Carter said without hesitation, “Is there anyone else here with the surname Qiao? Of course, it’s Miss Qiao Xi!”
With that said, Tang Ruge’s face turned pale as her body trembled violently.
The person Madam Carter was looking for was actually Qiao Xi? How could it be her?
However, when Tang Lingyun entered, she said that the person Miss Carter was looking for was a female painter in her 20s who was also participating in the exhibition. Among everyone present, only Tang Ruge matched the description!
After reacting for a moment, everyone suddenly realized something and looked at Qiao Xi in shock. Could it be that her work was also displayed in the exhibition hall?
“Qiao Xi, are you doing this on purpose?! You clearly knew that Madam Carter was here to look for you, yet you hid it and didn’t say anything. You’re deliberately embarrassing my sister!” Tang Lingyun criticized loudly as she glared at Qiao Xi with resentment.
Everyone could not help but be stunned.
Yes, Qiao Xi had long known that Miss Carter was looking for her, but she did not tell everyone. Tang Ruge had misunderstood and was embarrassed in front of everyone. If Qiao Xi had reminded Tang Ruge, such an awkward situation would not have happened.
Tang Lingyun roared, “You’re so sinister! You’re deliberately embarrassing my sister!”
Qiao Xi, who had been silent all this while, finally raised her eyes. Her eyes were clear, and her voice was weak but carried a trace of laziness. “I’m such a weak woman. How would I dare to say anything?! If I say anything, the Tang family will eat me up!”
Weak? Afraid to say it?
Tang Ruge was angered to the point of almost fainting! Qiao Xi still had the cheek to say that she was weak?
Gu Zheng, who was in the corner, could not help but laugh when he heard Mrs. Gu’s words.
Tang Lingyun was furious. “You’re weak? My foot! You clearly did it on purpose!”
Only then did Carter realize that the young lady standing in the corner was the real painter, Han Yin. It was indeed as Han Ye had said. His wife was pure and cute, just like a teenage girl.
That was right! With Han Ye’s taste, how could he choose a scheming woman to be his wife? He would never like someone like Tang Ruge.
Tang Ruge’s eyes turned red as she bit her lip. “Xi Xi…”
