Everyone in Class 3 also looked at Qiao Xi with admiration. Teacher Qiao Xi had always been outstanding, but she was too low-profile, so no one noticed her.

What puzzled them was that Qiao Xi was clearly stronger than Yi Cang and Shang Jing. Why did she say that she did not know calligraphy? Could it be that she was too humble?

At this moment, Liang Pingchuan glanced coldly at Yi Cang and said in a mocking tone, “You were so easily manipulated. With your IQ, are you still thinking of remaining in the calligraphy world?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Shang Jing. “If you were my student, I’d immediately cut off all ties with you. You look fair and selfless on the surface, but in reality, everything you do is for your own sake. You don’t care about the truth at all! If it weren’t for you and Lu Muxue instigating things behind the scenes, would Xi Xi have been wronged?

“All of you have been learning calligraphy for many years. Don’t you understand that you have to learn how to be a good person first? Even if you’re talented and capable, you can’t hide your immoral character! In the art industry, character is far more important than ability. If you have the ability, others might praise you, but only with a noble character will you be admired!

“Even if she were just a student without any background, how can you be sure that she isn’t able to produce perfect works? As a senior, you have to give the juniors a chance to display their talent, not blindly suppress them for the sake of your reputation.”

Liang Pingchuan looked helpless after lecturing them. The beliefs in these people’s minds were already deeply rooted, so it was useless for him to say these things.

Shang Jing thought that he was talented and his career had always been smooth-sailing, so he was superior to others. Lu Muxue, on the other hand, had been pampered since she was young. Due to jealousy and hatred, she wanted to ruin the future of another person. They might regret it, but they would never think that they were in the wrong.

At this moment, Qiao Xi glanced at Lu Muxue. Her head was lowered, and her expression could not be seen clearly. However, Shang Jing’s face was filled with panic. Although he was not the mastermind, he would still be punished accordingly.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi picked up the microphone and said, “Chancellor Chen, let’s not waste everyone’s time. Let’s continue with the competition.”

Chancellor Chen naturally would not let Yi Cang and Shang Jing continue to be judges. The two of them were too embarrassed to stay here. When they heard this, they fled.

Qiao Xi walked back to her seat. The class monitor was still indignant. “What?! They left without even apologizing? And Lu Muxue was the one who caused all of this! Isn’t she going to apologize?”

“Calligraphy requires talent. Teacher Xi Xi has only been learning the art for a few months but can already write such perfect works. Lu Muxue has been learning for more than 10 years but hasn’t made a name for herself. How embarrassing!”

Qiao Xi heard the discussions of everyone and only smiled before focusing on the competition.

At this moment, Lu Muxue’s phone rang. She hurriedly stood up and left the art hall. She walked to a corner to answer the call.

“Brother Ah Yan…”

“Muxue, you’re really too willful. I told you not to attack Qiao Xi, but why didn’t you listen?” Lu Yan’s voice revealed displeasure. “Grandpa has been thinking of ways to rope Qiao Xi in. After you caused such a scene, she probably won’t keep in contact with the Lu family anymore. You’ve ruined Grandpa’s plan. Think about how you’ll admit to your mistake later!”

“Why?”

Lu Muxue’s face was pale as she gritted her teeth. “Qiao Xi clearly doesn’t like the Lu family and even caused you to lose more than ten billion. Why are you still trying to rope her in? She’ll never be on our side. Why waste your time on her?”

Lu Yan’s tone was slightly cold. “This isn’t something you should be thinking about. Grandpa and I will handle the family’s matters. You just have to do your job well. Muxue, you ruined Grandpa’s plan by acting on your own this time. Don’t be so rash in the future.”

Lu Muxue’s mouth was wide open, and her face was filled with grievance. She did not expect Lu Yan to scold her for Qiao Xi. She hung up the phone and forcefully endured the tears in her eyes. The resentment in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

…

At the same time, Xia Yunlou and Old Madam Xia had already gotten into the car to go home. Xia Mengyan went to the studio to handle some trivial matters.

After a bumpy journey, they finally returned to the villa. When Old Madam Xia entered, she quickly took a shower and burned incense, wanting to chase away her bad luck. Meanwhile, Xia Yunlou was sitting in the living room with a displeased expression. “Dad, I didn’t expect Qiao Xi to actually cheat. She’s really embarrassing our Xia family!”

Xia Cheng’s expression did not look too good either. “Why is she so muddle-headed? It’s just a competition. Is there a need to cheat? Moreover, this matter might affect Mengyan.”

“What does this have to do with Mengyan?” Xia Yunlou asked.
