Xu Fang's face darkened.

She had never expected that Fu Yuanxiu would actually want to step out of the shadows over just a painting. However, she quickly returned to normal and said, "Alright, if Recluse is free. He should still be in a meeting right now, right?"

The purpose of this art exhibition was to promote Chinese culture, so the art association placed great importance on it and had been conducting a meeting to discuss it.

Fu Yuanxiu coughed and looked at his watch. "About half an hour."

Xu Fang replied, "Mhm," then said ambiguously, "I'm very curious. Does Mr. Fu know the painter of this painting?"

Her words made everyone understand.

Someone suggested, "Why would a small-time artist who is not famous make everyone comment on this piece of art? What is this artist's background?"

Ye Li's face turned even paler. She turned to look at Xue Xi. "Xixi, I want to go back."

Xue Xi supported her. Her misty eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.

Ye Li must have been hurt, right? However, her mouth was stupid and she could not coax people. She could only nod and say in an unprecedentedly light tone, "Alright."

She helped Ye Li out.

Mrs. Li comforted, "Mrs. Xue, your painting is already very impressive. Don't mind it too much."

Ye Li forced a smile at her and staggered away.

...

On the way home, the car was silent.

Xue Xi did not know how to break the silence in the car. After thinking for a while, she picked up her phone and sent a message: "Teacher, are you there?"

Omnipotent Boss: "What's the matter?"

Learning: "My mother's painting was criticized today. She is in a bad mood. How should I comfort her?"

Omnipotent Boss: "I suggest that you don't say anything."

Xue Xi was stunned. After a while, the other party sent her a longer message.

Omnipotent Boss: "Your mother has always wanted to maintain her image as a good mother in front of you. She definitely doesn't want to expose her grievances and fragility in front of her daughter. Your comfort will only make her feel more ashamed."

Xue Xi was convinced. "Okay."

After sending the message, she sent Xue Sheng a message and told him everything.

Xue Sheng replied: "I'm going home now."

The car soon arrived home.

The smile on Ye Li's face was even more bitter than when she cried. Just as she entered the living room, her phone rang.

Standing beside her, Xue Xi, who had always been sharp, heard a voice coming from her phone. "Ye Li, someone is here to buy your painting."

Ye Li's eyes lit up. "Who?"

There was something amiss in the other party's voice. "Yes, it's a stranger. He named your painting right after he entered. H-he..."

The other party sighed. "He said that Xu Fang said that you only have techniques and no depth. Hence, he only gave you 50 yuan."
