Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 276

276 Who Is the Creator

The results of the Rong City Cup were announced five days later. Shen Xi had indeed won the championship, while Jiang Xue was ranked tenth.

On the day of receiving the award, Shen Xi smiled at Jiang Xue and said, “It seems that you’ll have to do a self-reflection on the podium.”

Jiang Xue sneered. “Shen Xi, don’t be too smug. What if something happens?”

Shen Xi instantly squinted her eyes. Based on her understanding of Jiang Xue, she was hiding something from her.

!!
Shen Xi stood on the podium, her eyes fixed on Jiang Xue.

Just as the host invited Xiang Jun to go on stage to present the award, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Then the staff rushed up the stage and handed the phone to the host and Xiang Jun, who were about to present the award.

Xiang Jun’s face darkened when he saw it. He glanced at Shen Xi and announced that there had been a small accident, so the award ceremony would be suspended for a while.

Shen Xi looked at Jiang Xue and saw her smug expression. She knew that Jiang Xue must have done something.

When Shen Xi got off the stage, Zhao Yuan quickly showed her phone to Jiang Xue.

Everyone present received a text message. It was an appraisal report on Shen Xi’s painting and a few of the works in the photos.

The result of the appraisal was that Shen Xi’s painting and the painting of a young master from a big family in Beijing were drawn by the same person.

Shen Xi immediately recognized the works. She had sold those paintings to a client called San Shi. However, that person had told her not to tell anyone about this. They bought them out and she was to pretend that she had never painted them before.

Hence, when Xiang Jun asked Shen Xi if she was the one who had painted the picture, she was still hesitating on how to answer.

Jiang Xue immediately sneered, “Grandpa Xiang, Shen Xi’s answer is obvious if she doesn’t answer. If she was the one who drew it, why would she hide it?”

Xiang Jun gave Jiang Xue a cold warning look. She immediately shut up and stood aside quietly.

Xiang Jun continued to ask Shen Xi, “Shen Xi, I hope you can answer truthfully. This is very important to us. Before you answer, we have to make it clear to you that our Evaluation Committee has already confirmed that this report is real. In other words, your painting and the painting in this photo were indeed drawn by the same person.”

Shen Xi was a little vexed now, blaming herself for her lack of skill and being seen through. Meanwhile, she lamented that she shouldn’t have screwed her current self for that little bit of money.

Shen Xi did not expect San Shi would be a young master with such a background.

This time, she had directly fallen into the gutter.

When Jiang Xue saw that Shen Xi was speechless, she became excited and completely forgot about the warning look in Xiang Jun’s eyes. She interrupted again, “That goes without saying. Shen Xi must have stolen that young master’s work and used it as her own to participate in the competition. I saw it in the message. He’s from the Guan family in Beijing. He’s from an aristocratic family and has received elite education since he was young. Who would believe that he took Shen Xi’s work?”

The people around them felt that Jiang Xue was right and started to look at Shen Xi with disdain. Many of them started to talk about her in a low voice.

Although Rongcheng was small, it was a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. There were many scholars and they paid attention to the character of scholars. Plagiarism and cheating would be despised and ostracized by others.

Xiang Jun’s gaze on Shen Xi turned colder. He had seen Shen Xi before. At that time, his family had even said that they wanted her to be his granddaughter-in-law. Later, he heard that the Jiang family had carried the wrong child, and the matter was left unsettled.

He didn’t expect to meet her again today in such a situation.

Li Dan, who was watching in the dark, was also waiting for the result. However, for some reason, he felt that Shen Xi was not the kind of person who would use other people’s work to cheat.

After all, he had lived his entire life and had some ability to judge people.

However, if the work was Shen Xi’s, did that mean that Guan Lei had lied? Li Dan shook his head again and denied his thoughts.

No matter what, let’s see what Shen Xi would say first.

Shen Xi sighed softly, “I don’t know what’s going on with the painting in the photo, but I can guarantee that the work I’m participating in is my creation.”

Jiang Xue laughed and said loudly, “Shen Xi, are you dreaming? Did you say that you create it yourself? Then what do you mean? Are you saying that a young master from a scholarly family stole your painting?”

Jiang Xue turned to the judges and said, “Dear judges, I advise you to think carefully. I’ve heard that the big family in Beijing is not to be trifled with.”
