Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1411 I’m Not Doubting, I’m Confirming

He Wenxian suddenly recalled that Qiao Xi had said that she was interested in the restoration of cultural relics too, but that was just her hobby. She was not a professional at all.

During this period of time, He Wenxian always remembered He Weinian’s instructions. She had to be a generous, tolerant, and magnanimous lady. Most importantly, she could not offend Qiao Xi.

However, everyone’s adoring gazes and praises made her gradually lose her mind. She forgot about He Weinian’s reminder.

She stared at Qiao Xi with a burning gaze and said uncontrollably, “Xi Xi.”

Everyone followed her gaze and looked over. Qiao Xi stood at the back and slowly raised her eyes to meet He Wenxian’s eyes.

He Wenxian smiled gently. “Xi Xi, I remember you saying that you’re very interested in the restoration of cultural relics. Many experts are here today. You can look for me or your seniors to ask for guidance.”

Qiao Xi quietly looked at her and suddenly sneered. “I do have something to ask you, Miss He.”

The camera was pointed at He Wenxian and Qiao Xi. He Wenxian’s gaze was gentle, and her voice carried a trace of affection. “Ask away, Xi Xi.”

The next second, everyone heard Qiao Xi ask word by word, “Miss He, are you sure you restored this painting?”

Boom!!!

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings were in an uproar.

Why would this lady ask such a question? This painting was brought by Miss He, so she was naturally the one who restored it. Moreover, how many other people in the world could have such superb restoration skills?

He Wenxian’s heart trembled, but her expression did not change. She pretended to be puzzled and said aggrievedly, “Xi Xi, you… Why did you say that? Of course, I’m the one who restored this painting!”

The angry gazes of everyone descended on Qiao Xi.

Before Qiao Xi could speak, He Wenxian frowned. Her voice was gentle but carried a trace of hurt. “Xi Xi, you said that you’re interested in the restoration of cultural relics, so I brought you in. Why did you say that in front of everyone?”

Only then did everyone understand that this lady did not even have an invitation. It was Miss He who invited her in. Not only did she not appreciate it, but she even questioned Miss He in public.

He Wenxian lowered her eyes sadly and smiled bitterly. “Xi Xi, they can all suspect me, but why are you doing this to me? I originally wanted to bring you to meet the other experts as soon as the event ended. If you’re really interested in this field, I could recommend you to learn from them, but you…”

“This woman is really heartless!” Someone had already opened their mouth to criticize.

Qiao Xi looked at the aggrieved and hurt He Wenxian with a disdainful expression.

He Weinian had spent a lot of effort to help He Wenxian create the image of the elegant and gentle eldest daughter of the He family. Little did he know that He Wenxian was not such a person. She was clearly a little b*tch who liked to pretend to be pitiful. It would be more appropriate if he had asked her to play the role of Guan Hui. If he insisted on her playing the role of an extraordinary eldest daughter, she would be exposed sooner or later.

Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent as she raised her eyebrows. “Miss He, it’s not that I suspect you, but I’m sure that you didn’t restore this painting because…”

She paused for a moment, then said with a smile, “Because the person who bought this painting at the exhibition two years ago was me!”

He Wenxian’s face instantly turned pale. Her ears buzzed as she widened her eyes in shock.

What? Qiao Xi bought this painting?

Everyone heard Qiao Xi’s words clearly, and the hall instantly exploded.

“How is that possible? If she was the one who bought this painting, why is this painting in Miss He’s hands now?”

“Could it be that Miss He lied to us?”

Everyone knew that a seriously damaged painting was worthless, so the person who bought this painting definitely wanted to repair it. As for who to look for to repair it, that was up to Qiao Xi to decide. However, since the owner of this painting had come forward to question He Wenxian, then…

Qiao Xi watched helplessly as He Wenxian’s gentle face gradually became ferocious. “Miss He, you can investigate the sales records of the exhibition and see who the buyer of this painting was. I also hope you can give me a reasonable explanation as to why this painting ended up in your hands. When did you obtain this painting and restore it?”

The moment that was said, everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt. The passionate gazes of admiration just now suddenly changed, making He Wenxian panic.

Miss Qiao had said that she could investigate the sales records of the exhibition, which meant that she was confident enough to prove this matter. On the other hand, Miss He did not respond for a long time, making her look a little guilty.
