280 A Disgraceful Person

The judge replied, “The person should be someone like Old Master Xiang for sure, an artist with a certain reputation in the art industry.”

Shen Xi looked at the person not far away. The moment that person met Shen Xi’s gaze, he immediately planned to leave, but he was still a little late. On the other hand, Li Jin, who had been hiding in the dark, had not been seen by Shen Xi.

Shen Xi pointed at Li Dan, who had been watching the show from the side, and said loudly, “I wonder if Teacher Li Dan has the right to do so?”

Everyone’s eyes followed Shen Xi’s fingertips and looked at Li Dan, who had just turned around and taken two steps.

If he were to escape in front of so many people, Li Dan felt that it would be a disgrace.

Li Dan forced out a smile, turned to face the crowd, and nodded.

Jiang Xue also looked at Li Dan. He was an old man with white hair and a white beard. He looked like a scholar.

Jiang Xue burst out laughing and said to Shen Xi sarcastically, “Shen Xi, are you making up a master to prove that you didn’t cheat? Li Dan? Hahaha! I wonder which small place this old man came from.”

Jiang Xue’s words made everyone’s expression change.

Zhao Yuan, who had searched for Li Dan online, was holding her phone and comparing Li Dan at the scene and the photo. She was so surprised that she covered her mouth.

Shen Xi turned to look at the panel of judges and said with a smile, “Contestant Jiang Xue is inexperienced and doesn’t know Mr. Li Dan, but I think the judges know him, don’t you?”

Jiang Xue, who was called inexperienced by Shen Xi, was not convinced. She was about to retort when Liu Cheng stopped her.

Liu Cheng showed her phone to Jiang Xue, and she was shocked.

Li Dan, a senior professor at the School of Fine Arts at Beijing University, was an academic leader. He was a member of the National Art Association and a researcher at the National Cultural and History Research Institute.

Jiang Xue didn’t continue reading. She could only hear a buzzing sound in her ears. Thinking of what she had just said to Li Dan, she felt her face burning.

Liu Chen whispered in Jiang Xue’s ear, “Li Dan is the younger brother of Old Master Li of Li Industries. I just checked.”

Jiang Xue felt a chill down her spine when she heard this.

Li Industries, wasn’t that Meng Yu’s territory? At this time, Jiang Xue wanted to find a safe place to hide.

The judges had politely invited Li Dan to the judges’ table. They were looking forward to finding a powerful person to take the responsibility for them.

“Mr. Li, I’ll have to trouble you today. I hope my work won’t disappoint you.” Shen Xi grinned, showing two rows of teeth.

Seeing Li Dan around, Shen Xi linked everything that happened today. Then she finally understood why Li Dan had said so many strange things to her before.

Shen Xi was now 100% sure that Li Dan had known about this when he saw her work, but he didn’t tell her directly for some reason.

However, Shen Xi could understand. After all, humans should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Li Dan smile fraudulently and nodded politely.

Shen Xi spread out the paper, and she quickly finished her painting under everyone’s gaze.

When Shen Xi placed the work in front of Li Dan, he was stunned.

He had always thought that Guan Lei had cheated on Shen Xi’s behalf, but now he could confirm that Guan Lei’s work was Shen Xi’s creation after he had seen Shen Xi’s work with his eyes. Guan Lei had been cheating.

Li Dan sighed and shook his head. He was sighing for Old Master Guan in his heart.

Thinking of how proud Old Master Guan was when he showed off Guan Lei’s work, Li Dan couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

When Jiang Xue saw Li Dan shaking his head, she said excitedly, “Mr. Li, what do you mean by shaking your head? Do you mean that Shen Xi’s current work was different from the previous ones? So, the previous designs weren’t drawn by Shen Xi, right?”

Li Dan’s eyes widened, and his beard fluttered in the wind. He said a little angrily, “What’s wrong with you, kid? Didn’t your family teach you not to talk nonsense? You have no upbringing, no vision, and you like to guess other people’s thoughts. You are so disgraceful!”

Zhao Yuan laughed out loud, and the people around her were also laughing at Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth in anger. She couldn’t afford to offend Li Dan, so she could only bear with it.
