Fake Leng Qingqiu no longer looked at him, but looked at Fu Hengyi. She had never seen this man, and Shen Xitong had not introduced him, but since he had appeared with the Shen family, he must be familiar with the Shen family. Most importantly, she felt threatened by this man.
This man was dangerous, even more dangerous than the woman who caught her last time.
“Who is this?”
The smile on Shen Xitong’s face was a little reluctant. She was very reluctant to introduce Fu Hengyi’s identity in front of the outside world, especially in relation to Shen Qinglan, but even though she was unwilling, it didn’t mean that others were too.
“This is my husband, Fu Hengyi.” It was Shen Qinglan who spoke, and she looked at Shen Xitong out of the corner of her eyes. She successfully saw her slightly changed face, and there was a trace of satisfaction in her eyes.
Shen Xitong, the good show has just begun.
Two days ago, Jin Enxi had already investigated Shen Xitong’s life experience. She didn’t expect Shen Xitong to have such a wonderful experience. She just didn’t know that whether Shen Xitong, a “proud girl” who thought she was high above, knew that she still had relatives. What kind of expression would she show, especially when those two people came to her door, what would she do? It must be very exciting.
The corners of Shen Qinglan’s mouth twitched lightly, if someone familiar with her saw it, they would know that someone was definitely going to be unlucky.
“It turns out that this is Miss Shen’s husband, and he really looks like a talented man.” Fake Leng Qingqiu smiled sincerely.
Fu Hengyi didn’t speak, just smiled.
A cold look flashed in Fake Leng Qingqiu’s eyes, but she was really good-looking, even if it was just a faint smile, it was very attractive.
“Uncle and auntie, please you have to excuse me.”
“Okay, you can go.” Chu Yunrong said with a smile.
Many people who came to participate in this exhibition today were well-known figures in the painting circle, and of course there were also many art collectors.
Many people knew Daniel. As soon as the fake Leng Qingqiu left, many people came to say hello to Daniel. Daniel knew that Shen Qinglan didn’t like to join in the fun, so he followed the third parties away after they came to talk to him.
Anyway, the opening ceremony of the exhibition was about to start.
This art exhibition was the day when Leng Qingqiu was to officially appear in front of people, so the organizer specially planned this small opening ceremony to officially push Leng Qingqiu in front of people.
The organizer this time was originally Daniel’s studio. After Fake Leng Qingqiu announced the termination of the contract, she quickly reached a cooperative relationship with a media company in Beijing. The organizer was also replaced by them. The new organizer asked Daniel for Leng Qingqiu’s paintings for this exhibition. However, Daniel refused to give it on the grounds that he had reached an agreement with people from the Painting and Calligraphy Association. The organizers did not know the people from the Painting and Calligraphy Association, so Daniel’s people were still responsible for the layout of the exhibition hall.
At ten o’clock sharp, the person in charge of the organizer came to the stage to give a speech, formally introduced the identity of Leng Qingqiu, and asked for her to speak on the stage.
A lot of media friends had come to the scene, and the camera was aimed at the Fake Leng Qingqiu on the stage. Although Fake Leng Qingqiu had become popular, and there were many people who had heard her name, but not many people had actually seen her. There was so much media this time, it was because of the popularity of Leng Qingqiu on one hand, and on the other hand, the media company was operating behind the scenes. It seemed that the media company that they cooperated with this time had made a lot of money, and it was bound to make the fake Leng Qingqiu famous.
In fact, the Fake Leng Qingqiu did not know that there would be so much media. The organizer said that only a few good media friends would come to participate. Now, it was completely rushing ducks to the shelves. Even if she was not willing, she must bite the bullet now.
The organizers were also suspicious when they saw these media friends. Some media were not invited by them at all. They thought they were invited by the Fake Leng Qingqiu.
Fake Leng Qingqiu was chatting on the stage, and the host asked her some questions about her creations from time to time. Although she had a smile on her face and cooperated well with the host, her eyes were cold, and things had exceeded her expectations.
“She’s not Leng Qingqiu at all.” Just when the fake Leng Qingqiu was having a good chat with the host, Daniel suddenly stood up and said.
His voice was not low. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of many people. Some people had already recognized Daniel’s identity. The first reaction of many people was that Daniel was going to do something.
Daniel’s reputation in the industry was very good, not only because he was popular among many painters, but also because of his unique vision. The painters who had become popular because of him were all talented and practical, and there was absolutely no scandal attached to his name.
So in the eyes of most people, the relationship between Daniel and Leng Qingqiu was not like Leng Qingqiu said where Daniel as her agent had sold her paintings privately and violated her rights.
Therefore, Daniel’s behaviour in her art exhibition was normal and understandable to the public.
The smile on Fake Leng Qingqiu’s face froze obviously, her eyes sank, looking at Daniel she smiled, but this smile was definitely not friendly, “Daniel, I know that I cancelled the contract with you and you are dissatisfied, but you can’t just talk nonsense, you said that I’m not Leng Qingqiu, do you have any evidence?”
Fake Leng Qingqiu asked very calmly, she was not afraid of Daniel saying that, since that person made her play Leng Qingqiu, it meant that it would definitely not be easy to expose her, which meant that the real Leng Qingqiu might not be able to prove her identity at all. In this case, what was the matter about her being real or fake.
It was just a pity that she didn’t know that person at all. As long as she knew a little more about that person, she would know that this was simply a game because that person was bored, and he would not care about the game’s process and results, even if it failed, it would be nothing to him.
Daniel’s expression showed a smile, but as he looked at the calm woman on the stage, he had to give this woman a thumbs up in his heart. This psychological quality was really good. He said so, and she could still be so calm.
He glanced at Shen Qinglan from the corner of his eye, saw her indifferent face, pouted, then looked at Fake Leng Qingqiu, “I know what I’m saying is true, I know in my heart, don’t talk about you, and just by being here, people won’t believe it.”
Everyone nodded, and that’s exactly what the reason was.
“Daniel, I know that I took the initiative to terminate the contract and you are dissatisfied, but for the sake of our cooperation for many years, what conditions do you have just say them, if I can do it, I will consider it. I understand your feelings, and I am willing to make certain concessions, please stop being self-willed”, she said looking at Daniel with a calm expression.
Her demeanour seemed to be undisturbed, it was as if Daniel wanted to gain greater benefits, and a small number of them looked at the woman on the stage and thought about Daniel’s words with a thoughtful expression on their face.
When Daniel saw it, he couldn’t help but want to laugh, and he did laugh. Was she so sure that he couldn’t produce evidence?
“I believe that many people present know who I am. Some of you have also cooperated with me. I believe you all have your own judgments about mine and Daniel’s character.” Leng Qingqiu debated, but brought the topic to the people at the scene.
There were many well-known people in the painting circle among the people who came today. Most of these people were here for the paintings of Leng Qingqiu. After all, it was said in the previous promotion that some of the paintings, especially the recent ones, were even more popular because of the change in style.
Among these people, there were not just a few people who knew Daniel, and there were many people who had cooperated with him. There were so many painters who wanted to cooperate with Daniel, and Daniel’s character and ability were naturally beyond doubt.
Seeing that because of Daniel’s words, the people present cast a suspicious look at her. Fake Leng Qingqiu’s eyes became cold, and she cast a sullen look towards Daniel. If she knew this would happen, she should have ruined Daniel’s reputation completely.
Although she was sure that Daniel had no evidence to prove that she was not Leng Qingqiu, but similarly, she also had no evidence to prove that she was Leng Qingqiu, and now she could only hope that that person would have another move.
“Everyone knows that three years ago, oh, it is now four years ago. Four years ago, I announced to the public that from now on, I will only be the exclusive agent of Leng Qingqiu,” Daniel ignored the Fake Leng Qingqiu’s words and said eloquently, “When I met her, she was a high school student, an eighteen-year-old girl.”
Daniel threw a torpedo in the field, causing a splash of water. They were all surprised. In this way, for the past three years, everyone had been speculating about the sacred Leng Qingqiu, but she was actually an eighteen-year-old yellow-haired girl!
“Daniel, I believe in your character, but after all, this is a big deal.” A well-known painter spoke carefully, with a serious expression.
He admired Leng Qingqiu’s paintings very much. He had always believed that she was a woman in her thirties and forties, who had gone through several ups and down, experienced twists and turns, and was full of stories. The feelings in her paintings could not be expressed by a person who had no experience.
When Fake Leng Qingqiu appeared in front of everyone, he was surprised at the age of the other party, it was much worse than he thought. But at least it was still within the acceptable range, but now Daniel said that this woman was not Leng Qingqiu, Leng Qingqiu was actually a little girl in her early twenties.
Daniel had long expected that there would be doubts, and there was no surprise on his face, he just said, “Qingqiu is very low-key on weekdays and doesn’t like to appear in front of people, so she entrusted me with full control of her paintings. You have not seen her in person, so you will be deceived by this fake on the stage, but I dare to swear with my personality and dignity, she is definitely not real Leng Qingqiu.”
He pointed at the woman on the stage, and his voice was loud.
Fu Hengyi glanced at Shen Qinglan, looking at her cold eyebrows, his eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to understand something, and then he looked at the woman on the stage with a chill in his eyes.
Fake Leng Qingqiu looked at Daniel calmly and said, “Daniel, after talking for a long time, you still can’t come up with evidence to prove that I am not Leng Qingqiu, whether I am real or not can’t be decided just by your own words.” If you looked carefully, you would notice that the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff.
The painter who just spoke also echoed, “Yes, Daniel, can you show evidence that she is not Leng Qingqiu?”
Who knew that Daniel shrugged and said, “I have no evidence to prove that she is not Leng Qingqiu.”
When a young painter heard this, his face froze, and then he became sullen, “Daniel, we believe you, but you can’t play with us like this.”
The Fake Leng Qingqiu on the stage had a cold face, and seemed to be very angry with Daniel’s behaviour. She was angry, but she breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Daniel couldn’t prove that she was not Leng Qingqiu.
