41 Real Don’t Shake
“Tong Yang, did you paint that also?” Her mother asked confused at what was going on.
“How can my student’s work become hers hun!?” Master Wang asked irritatedly.
“If your daughter doesn’t say the truth, the only way to prove that she’s not lying is to make her paint right here in our association and it must be something worth the level of skill in Yue’s past work or present work.” With those words, master Wang pushed her into the fire and Tong Yang shook fiercely.
She couldn’t even paint half of that in her peak moment not to talk about now where she was out of sorts.
“Master... forgive me, there’s been some mistake here...” she started and then swallowed.
“My painting is also quite good but I wasn’t aware that you would be here today and I had originally planned to give the work over to my friend that owns it on the way back from here. But since you asked and our painting styles are similar, I had decided to just show you this temporarily to not disappoint mother.” She said hurriedly.
With her eyes already glassy with tears, some people already felt sympathetic for her and even believed her story.
However, some people felt like it was impossible to act this way.
Firstly, she had been asked just now if it was her work and she had nodded yes immediately. How was it now not hers all of a sudden.
.....
“Don’t ever show your face in front of me, artist with not morals or boundaries are the ones I hate the most, after all, your state of mind and heart would always affect the quality of work that you do.” He said fiercely and then with no advance warning snatched the bunch of paintings with her and walked out.
“Master Wang’s so fierce today. Is anything the matter?” A lot of people asked, after all, the man’s image was someone that was calm and collected.
“Didn’t he just say it earlier that this ‘Yue’ is his student, of course, he would be angrier than normal. He might even know more than we know.” One of his fans explained hurriedly.
Hearing that the work was from master Wang’s work, most of them hurriedly went to bid for it. For someone that was going to be big in the future, it was better to have some of their works down now when the value hadn’t become too exorbitant.
Very soon, the crowd dispersed leaving the mother and daughter standing there ashamed.
“Yang’er, why didn’t you bring your work? You just ruined an opportunity we have been fighting for.” Her mother complained.
Somewhere in her mind, she still believed that her daughter was some really impressive painter and that even if she had brought her works, they would have still settled the matter.
Yet, Tong Yang didn’t have anything more than the slightest basic painting skills that weren’t hard to find.
Tong Yang stood stupefied there looking at the painting at the wall. She could see some similarities with the painting with her.
Could this be Rong Yue? After all, the pen name Yue had always been something that she thought was from her name.
But this painting was too good!
Could Yue’er paint this well? The more she thought, the more she felt like she was going mad and so like a crazy person, she moved from one painting to the other while checking and shaking her head in disbelief.
In the end, her mother was not having any of her antics, after all, people knew them and they had just embarrassed themselves and her husband. She just wanted them to leave there.
Without saying a word, she pulled Tong Yang out of the auction hall.
***
Back in the auction hall,
Wang Lei and Rong Yue stood together watching the girl that had been dragged off.
“Is she the one you were talking about earlier.” Wang Lei asked curiously.
“Hmmm, she’s the one.” Rong Yue replied honestly.
It had gone even better than she had imagined. After all, she didn’t expect that the student that master Wang had just met would force him to be this defensive.
But this also made the matter easier for her to understand.
If Tong Yang had gone to meet her earlier than she did, he would also not have asked Tong Yang to paint also just like and with Rong Yue constantly giving her new designs, she was able to maintain the skills and style she had claimed to have in her past life.
“I used to keep my paintings in her house and even complete some there if I couldn’t finish it in school. But she had refused to hand them over. Who would have thought that she would have such plans.” Rong Yue sighed.
“Perhaps my work was destined to be master’s student.” She added with a laugh and Wang Lei laughed alone with her.
While the both of them were talking, there was also another young man and if Rong Yue had just looked around, she would have realized that he was the same man that she had seen across the street the other day.
“Master, the other party have been taken care of, from what I’m seeing, someone had tried to hijack her work but Master Wang had defended her... he seems to have taken her as a student...” Lu San reported as he tried to reel in his thoughts.
He had gone to the flower store yesterday and had gotten the shock of her life, now it seems like she was even an expert in painting!
“Second Young Master, isn’t this girl too frightful? How did she get all these skills?” He asked curiously why also wondering who she was.
“Hmmm, only she is allowed to be like that, keep making sure nothing happens to her until I come back.” He instructed him and if Lu San was beside his master in the moment, he would have been frightened by the intense doting look in his eyes.
“Also, that painting, make sure you get it no matter the bidding price you give.”
