Chapter 311: Scheming Qi Is Back Again!

Gu Qiqi didn’t open her mouth to explain anything to Xiaobei. Instead, she picked up Gu Xuexue’s pearl painting.

This was a little puzzling.

Everyone had no idea what she was up to.

“I heard that Xuexue personally made this painting? Yes, it’s indeed a little creative.” Gu Qiqi’s tone was faint and nothing unusual could be detected.

Gu Meifeng saw that Gu Qiqi had changed the topic and was shocked.

It turned out that the bookworm was afraid of them and deliberately came to curry favor with them. She wanted to change the topic so that they wouldn’t drag Xiaobei down, right?

A trace of smugness couldn’t help but flash across her eyes. “Of course. Our Xuexue stayed up several nights to prepare it. Didn’t you see that her eyes were red from the heat and her fingers were tired?”

“Mommy, for grandpa, this is what I should do.”

Gu Xuexue smiled obediently.

Although Gu Qiqi was trying to divert their attention, they were happy to pull everyone’s attention back to Gu Xuexue from Xiaobei!

Indeed, everyone praised her.

“Yes, Xue Xue, your filial piety is commendable. Tonight, this gift of yours is the only one that was personally made. It’s especially sincere!”

“There aren’t many young people who can calm down and do things now. But you were willing to stay up late to personally prepare a gift for your elder. Such a child will have a bright future in his career and will be tenacious!”

“Wasn’t this what the Old Master said just now about our Gu family’s most precious family style?”

“Xue Xue, not bad, not bad!”

The sudden praise made Gu Meifeng and her daughter very pleased.

Indeed, it didn’t matter if she wasn’t the most stunning in the beginning. It was best if she could have the last laugh..

What was Gu Yuanyuan and Gu Qiqi’s birthday gift? Her Xuexue was the best!

Just as she was feeling smug…

Gu Qiqi supported her chin with her hand and said, “But I don’t understand. Can’t we just apply these pearl powder with a brush? Or should we apply it with gloves? Why would you stay up all night and tire your hand?”

Gu Xuexue thought that Gu Qiqi had something on her that made her nervous. She didn’t expect it to be such a small problem.

Tsk! How ignorant!

She said disdainfully, “This is a painting for Grandpa. How can I possibly use a brush and gloves to paint casually? Sister, you really don’t understand anything about painting. Pearl powder is so exquisite that it’s impossible to draw the lines well with a brush. And gloves are even worse. They will destroy the layer!”

As she spoke, in order to verify her own theory, she deliberately stretched out her hand and pointed to a few spots on the painting.

She traced the lines of the pearl powder a few times with her finger. “Everyone, look here. Also, I slowly painted this place with one hand. I don’t want to stay up late either, but once I start painting, I won’t be able to stop. Also, since the pearl powder is already on my hand, I can’t waste it. It’s not good to interrupt my inspiration either…”

Gu Xuexue explained clearly.

Her face wasn’t red and her heart wasn’t beating fast.

It seemed that this painting was really her work that she had worked hard and stayed up late for.

If Gu Qiqi hadn’t heard her ordering the staff to draw in the store that day, it would have been really difficult to see through her.

The Gu family was even more puzzled.

Instead, they felt even more emotional and praised Gu Xuexue for being filial once more.

Gu Qiqi remained calm and collected. She asked lightly, “Are you sure that you really spent several nights painting this? You didn’t use a brush or gloves and used your fingers to apply pearl powder bit by bit?”

Gu Xuexue gnashed her teeth and insisted. “Of course.”

For a moment, she felt that Gu Qiqi’s gaze seemed to have seen through her secret!

But on second thought…

Hmph! Gu Qiqi couldn’t possibly let her redraw it on the spot to prove herself, right?

That was too ridiculous.

Gu Meifeng even pointed it out directly. “Hey, Qiqi, you aren’t jealous of Xuexue, right? Let me tell you, it’s not good for you to do this. How can you not believe your own sister? Could it be that you want Xuexue to draw it on the spot?”

Draw it live?

Did she have to use such a stupid method?

Gu Qiqi’s lips curved upwards.
