Chapter 56: Well Said!

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Yiren, wondering what kind of discerning method she had.

Ouyang Shasha also looked at her with disdain, wanting to see how she would continue to spout nonsense.

Su Yiren calmly raised her hand, her palm facing a sunflower petal, and gently pressed down.

“This is a work of art! How can you touch it with your hands?” Ouyang Shasha finally found an opportunity to question loudly.

Lu Yunting glanced at her with displeasure, and Ouyang Shasha’s momentum immediately diminished.

“I’m just afraid she’ll ruin the painting!”

Ignoring her, Su Yiren stopped her palm just a few millimeters away from the painting, keeping it still.

The crowd whispered among themselves.

“What is she doing?”

“I don’t know, she looks mysterious.”

“It’s like she’s using magic.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, there’s no such thing as magic. I think she’s just trying to make a scene.”

There were many people around, and they all had different opinions. Although their voices were low, Su Yiren was close enough to hear most of it.

She smiled faintly, ignoring everyone’s slander, and stayed for a few seconds before slowly moving away.

Until a sharp-eyed man exclaimed:

“Look! There seems to be some patterns on the painting!”

The crowd rushed forward, and where Su Yiren’s palm had rested, a small pattern appeared, a winding vine forming two cursive characters:

Bu Yu.

Anyone who had seen Bu Yu’s work immediately recognized the signature.

“My God! It’s Bu Yu!”

“This sunflower is actually a work by Bu Yu!”

“I can’t believe I’m seeing Bu Yu’s masterpiece in person! I can brag about this for the rest of my life!”

“This trip was definitely worth it! Not only did we see Bu Chi’s works from these years, but we also saw his master and senior sister’s works!”

“Right! Bu Yu is Bu Chi’s senior sister! No wonder this painting is here!”

Amidst the crowd’s exclamations and excitement, the small mark slowly disappeared, and the entire painting returned to its original state.

Su Yiren turned to look at Ouyang Shasha, although she didn’t say anything, her eyes clearly asked:

Do you believe it now?

Ouyang Shasha’s lips were tightly pressed together, trying to maintain her elegant image, but her eyes were filled with intense jealousy and resentment.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Sheng Jiaer, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:

“Sister Ouyang, weren’t you just so confident? Why are you leaving now?”

Her words immediately drew everyone’s attention to Ouyang Shasha, and they all chimed in:

“Yeah, you were just putting on a big show, acting like we don’t know anything.”

“That’s right, you even said you bought the exact same painting. How can we believe you?”

Once the truth was revealed, all her previous confident claims now seemed ridiculous and absurd.

Ouyang Shasha felt extremely embarrassed, but she still raised her chin, pretending to be calm:

“Maybe I remembered wrong. I just took a quick glance at the time and didn’t see clearly.”

“You didn’t see clearly, but you were still so arrogant? You even said Sister Yiren was talking nonsense?” Sheng Jiaer questioned with a bitter tone.

Since Su Yiren had stood up for her just now, she no longer cared about the business partner thing. She just couldn’t stand Ouyang Shasha, and she wanted to expose her hypocritical façade.

Ouyang Shasha was ridiculed by everyone, her face flushed with shame. She couldn’t help but look at Lu Yunting, her pitiful appearance would make anyone feel sorry for her.

Su Yiren furrowed her brows slightly, looking away, feeling a bit disgusted.

What a terrible day. She had wanted to enjoy the art exhibition, but she ran into this woman.

“Ating…” Ouyang Shasha walked to Lu Yunting’s side, gently tugging at his sleeve, calling out softly.

Lu Yunting immediately frowned, about to move his arm away, when Sheng Tianhao, who had been silent all along, spoke:

“Miss Ouyang, you should apologize to Mrs. Lu.”

“Why?” Ouyang Shasha was anxious.

“Just because she guessed right, I have to apologize to her?”

“It’s not because of that,” Sheng Tianhao said in a gentle tone.

“I’m asking you to apologize for your rude words just now.”

Ouyang Shasha was choked. She had indeed said a lot of harsh things to suppress Su Yiren.

She couldn’t stand Su Yiren’s superior attitude!

So she seized the opportunity to step on her hard!

But to make her apologize to that woman? Dream on!

“That’s right, you were so confident just now, saying that she was talking nonsense. You should apologize now, shouldn’t you?”

“It was indeed a bit harsh. Thankfully, Mrs. Lu is well-mannered and didn’t lash out directly.”

“Right, she even kindly explained it to you!”

The people around started to criticize her.

Ouyang Shasha’s face turned crimson.

She had been pampered since she was a child, and later spoiled by Lu Yunting. She was always used to getting her way. How could she ever listen to this?

For a moment, Ouyang Shasha was both ashamed and angry.

Looking at the people around her, they all seemed to be enjoying the show, making her even angrier.

But as her gaze shifted, she suddenly noticed Sheng Tianhao standing beside Su Yiren, clearly protecting her.

Her eyes rolled, and she immediately changed her attitude, asking with a sour and soft voice:

“Mr. Sheng, why are you always defending Miss Su?”

Sheng Tianhao was taken aback. Before he could refute, he saw Ouyang Shasha smiling at Lu Yunting and saying:

“Her husband is right here. You’re putting on a knightly act, which isn’t appropriate, is it?”

“Ouyang Shasha! What are you talking about! Don’t stir up trouble between my brother and Mr. Lu!” Sheng Jiaer was the first to object. You can bully me, but you can’t bully my brother!

“We’re talking about your rude words, don’t drag my brother into this!”

Sheng Tianhao stopped Sheng Jiaer, who was furious, behind him, stepped forward, and gently asked:

“Since you know Mr. Lu is her husband, shouldn’t you address her as Mrs. Lu out of respect for Mr. Lu? Instead of calling her ‘Miss Su’ all the time?”

This turned the tables, shattering Ouyang Shasha’s fake smile. She nervously glanced at Lu Yunting, but saw him looking at Sheng Tianhao with a dark expression, clearly at the end of his rope.

The topic had turned to her, so Su Yiren couldn’t continue watching the show. She chuckled and said:

“Mr. Sheng, you see? It’s not safe to be helpful anymore. Otherwise, you’ll be drowned in spit! Even our kind of gentlemanly friendship can be criticized. Those who are always together, clinging to each other, wouldn’t they be thrown into a pigsty?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present subconsciously looked at Ouyang Shasha and Lu Yunting.

They were all in the same circle, and they had heard some rumors, especially Ouyang Shasha’s behavior today. Anyone with eyes could see what was going on.

The mistress was flaunting herself in front of the real wife, clearly backed by the man!

Lu Yunting’s brows furrowed with anger because of Su Yiren’s words.

At this tense moment, a steady female voice suddenly came:

“Well said!”
