Chapter 52 - The Painting 4

Wei Chujiu immediately came to Zhu Yunqing after Mr Yang left the class abruptly, to ask about what happened.

"Don't worry. He probably found it too amazing and decided to show it off!" Zhu Yunqing said without a hint of worry in her tone.

Those that were close enough to hear what she said, burst into laughter. When the others in front asked, they told them what she said.

Soon the whole class was aware of what Zhu Yunqing had said and was erupted in laughter.

"Does she not know her own talent!"

"Tsk! You call that talent!"

"Yeah, don't you think being useless takes some skills," a student joked.

"I wonder where she gets her confidence from?" a girl asked.

"Probably the same place she got her useless talents from," someone answered while sneakily sneering at Zhu Yunqing.

"I pity her though!"

"Why?! She brought it upon herself. She should have just quit when she knew she didn't have the talent."

"Her arrogance is going to cause her such a huge embarrassment."

After hearing the snide comments on Zhu Yunqing, Wei Chujiu worry and fears about her friend grew more. Even though Zhu Yunqing's aura seemed so confident that it would make one feel that everything would be okay.

Wei Chujiu's worry was understandable. She didn't want her best friend to be embarrassed and did not want Zhu Yanyu to use this opportunity to gloat about how better she was.

Wei Chujiu seemed like a mother eagle as she was watching her baby eaglet take the first flight. Her face was enshrouded in worry about what was going to happen.

True to her fear, Zhu Yunqing's name was suddenly announced on the public telecom of the school. She was told to come to the Head of the department's office.

"Haha are they finally giving her an expulsion letter. After all it is not only this class that she has flunked."

"She is in serious trouble now!"

Zhu Yunqing simply stood up gracefully, patted Wei Chujiu on her shoulders as if reassuring her and started walking out of the class.

'Humph! I don't need flies like you to acknowledge how good i am!' she arrogantly harrumphed. She was not going to exchanges words with these blind bats in her class. If they were a bunch of classless zombies who were only moved by rumours, it would be better to give them a tight face slap. And she wasn't going to expend her energy on such trashes in her class.

Before Zhu Yunqing could take the final steps out of the class, a certain someone could not help herself. So she decided to fuel the situation a bit more. She wanted the festered wound to keep bleeding.

"Qingqing ~ don't go!" Zhu Yanyu cried out affectionately.

"You don't need to go. Mr Yang only wants to further humiliate you, otherwise he would have never called for you with that low skill of yours. But don't worry, I'll talk to my father, maybe he can help with something." Zhu Yanyu continued in a soft tone. Her tone sounded as if she really cared for her cousin.

Zhu Yunqing angrily clenched her fists and thought, 'What a very kind Cousin you are!' before leaving without a care.

Zhu Yanyu's words might seem like it was of no harm, but she obviously stabbed at where it would hurt Zhu Yunqing. Simply stating that she would ask her father for help, she was hinting to Zhu Yunqing the state her family was in now. That her father would not be able to help her and if she was wise enough to beg her so she could ask her father for help else she would suffer. Zhu Yanyu also made sure to tell her her level. No one could understand the hidden meaning in her words better than Zhu Yunqing.

"Jiu'er, talk to her. Stop her from going! Mr Yang is only causing trouble for he. If she goes now she would most likely get into trouble," Zhu Yanyu immediately went and grabbed Wei Chujiu on her arm, pleading with her to stop Zhu Yunqing.

"Since when did we become so closer. And don't call me like we are friends, it's disgusting," Wei Chujiu snapped, throwing Zhu Yanyu's hand off her arm.

She knew Zhu Yanyu was up to no good. Besides stopping Zhu Yunqing from going now was only going to cause more problems for her. Since Zhu Yunqing was so confident, then she was going to put her trust in her. She has been fighting back lately so it only means there was a big show coming soon. She just hoped nothing bad would happen.

After a few minutes, Zhu Yunqing arrived at Mr Liu's office. After knocking, she was told to come in. When she walked in, the expression on the faces of everyone present in the room was serious.

Mr Yang, Mr Liu and two other lecturers from the art department, Mrs Park and Mr Long Hui, were all seated.. They seemed to be in the middle of a deliberation.
