Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 278

278 A B*stard

Shen Xi returned to the stage. She picked up the microphone, and said to the judges and the onlookers below, “To prove that my participating work was my creation, I can draw another one for everyone to appraise now. Judges, what do you think?”

The judges lowered their heads and discussed the feasibility of Shen Xi’s suggestion.

Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, pulled Guan Lei, who had rushed over, and said with a crying expression, “What should we do, Guan Lei? if Xixi proves that she didn’t cheat, it would mean that the one who cheated was the young master from Beijing. What if he gets angry and takes revenge on Xixi? But if Xixi doesn’t prove it, then she’ll be admitting that she cheated. Then Xixi can’t survive in Rong City in the future.”

Guan Lei was still gasping for breath as he ran too fast. After a while, he said, “Don’t worry, Xixi will be fine. Send a message to Xixi and tell her to prove that the young master of Beijing won’t be unreasonable.”

!!
Zhao Yuan looked at Guan Lei and asked suspiciously, “Can I? Are you sure?”

“Forget it. I’ll talk to her myself,” said Guan Lei after taking a deep breath.

Guan Lei picked up his phone and wanted to send a message to “Teacher Shen ” on the phone. However, he had only typed a few words before he stopped.

Guan Lei wondered if Shen Xi would look down on him if she found out that he had hired a ghost drawer. Would Shen Xi not like him anymore?

Guan Lei was glad that he did not have time to add Shen Xi as a friend because of Li Zhe’s visit a few days ago. It seemed like he had to change his number.

Guan Lei quickly deleted the words in the conversation and said to Zhao Yuan, “You send it. Don’t worry, Shen Xi will be fine.”

Zhao Yuan sent the message out doubtfully and added at the end of the message, ‘Guan Lei said so. You’ll be fine.’

Shen Xi, who had received Zhao Yuan’s message, looked in her direction in surprise. As expected, she saw Guan Lei, whom she had not seen for a few days.

Guan Lei was very tall and stood out in the crowd.

Guan Lei also noticed Shen Xi’s gaze. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her. His two rows of white, sparkling teeth were shining under the light.

For some reason, Shen Xi felt at ease the moment she saw Guan Lei.

Shen Xi looked at the crowd and concluded that being taller would give people a sense of security.

Shen Xi walked towards the jury and asked politely and softly, “I wonder what the result of the judges’ discussion is?”

Jiang Xue, who was next to the judges and spoke from time to time, said in a strange tone, “Shen Xi, you want to prove yourself, but you have to think that the judges are also human. If they offend the big shot for your sake, have you ever thought about what would happen if they get implicated?”

“So are you saying that the judges, who have always been fair, are afraid of power and have given up on fairness?” said Shen Xi with a hidden meaning.

Jiang Xue quickly waved her hand and explained, “Of course not. What are you talking about, Shen Xi? I just think that the judges are fair, so I don’t think it’s necessary to add a process for you to prove your painting, right? After all, this has never happened before.”

“I agree to give Shen Xi a chance to prove herself,” Xiang Jun said in a deep voice, frowning.

Jiang Xue didn’t expect Xiang Jun, this senseless old man, would go against her. She immediately pulled Xiang Jun aside and said, “Grandfather, why are you speaking up for Shen Xi?”

Xiang Jun quickly slapped Jiang Xue’s hand away and chided her, “Pulling and tugging, what a disgrace!”

Jiang Xue secretly rolled her eyes and cursed the stick-in-the-mud in her heart, but she still smiled and said, “Grandpa, we’re a family. I don’t want to see you make a decision that’s disadvantageous to the Xiang family. After all, we can’t afford to offend the big family in Beijing.”

Xiang Jun looked at Jiang Xue coldly, and his tone was a little angry. “It’s not up to you, an outsider, to comment on whether it’s beneficial to the Xiang family or not!”

Jiang Xue was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, “Grandpa, how can you treat me like an outsider? I’m pregnant with the child of the Xiang family, your great-grandson. I’m saying this for the good of our Xiang family.”

Xiang Jun’s expression was calm, and he didn’t listen to Jiang Xue’s flowery words at all. He said coldly, “Getting pregnant before marriage and having an illicit affair without a matchmaker makes your baby a b*stard! My Xiang family doesn’t acknowledge it!”
