Chapter 421: The Gathering of the Great Gods, Thrashing Trash Until Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the staff’s exclamation, the international master that everyone had been looking forward to since the exhibition started finally appeared…

But the moment he appeared, he pointed out his identity.

He wasn’t here to support Gao Xue. Instead, he walked onto the stage with a vicious aura and stood beside Qiao Wangbei.

1

“Senior Brother.” Qiao Wangbei was very polite to him.

Everyone in the audience was in an uproar. Gao Xue was so frightened that her eyes were about to fall out. She was dumbfounded.

This top international master is Old Master Qiao’s disciple?

“Damn, didn’t the organizer say that Joe appreciated Gao Xue a lot and specially flew here from overseas just to support her?”

“I thought that Joe might not come and that it was just a publicity stunt by the organizer. The person is here, but he’s not here for Gao Xue.”

“I’ve never heard that he’s Old Master Qiao’s disciple. He’s never mentioned who his master is.”

…

Hu Xinyue, watching the live broadcast, almost went crazy.

“Yating, did you hear that? Joe said he’s Old Master Qiao’s disciple. The old man I like is really the best.

“Teacher Gao thought that the master was here to support her? She must be stupefied now. He came for the Qiao family.

“I’ve decided to be a fan of Old Master Qiao for the rest of my life.”

1

…

Gao Xue felt a chill run down her spine. Her body felt as though it had been dragged into a swamp of despair, and she couldn’t move. Her mind was blank, and she couldn’t think at all.

“Are you Joe?”

“Master, are you really Old Master Qiao’s disciple? But you never said who your master is.”

“Did you come back to China specially for the Qiao family’s matter?”

The man was wearing a simple suit. His face was thin, and his entire person exuded an unhealthy paleness. His eyebrows were long and slender, but there was a hidden sharpness in them. If people looked closely, they would find that his eyebrows and expression were quite similar to Qiao Wangbei’s.

“I am indeed Joe, and I’m also Old Master Qiao Yuhe’s second disciple—Tang Wangjin.”

Joe was—Qiao1!

The audience was in an uproar. Could there be any more twists in this matter?

“Why didn’t I announce my master’s name before? At first, I just wanted to rely on myself to create my own world instead of relying on the title of Old Master Qiao’s disciple to obtain some false reputation.”

What he said was indeed so. If someone said that they had connections with Old Master Qiao in the industry, everyone would definitely see them in a different light.

“Furthermore, when I was studying art, I was always reprimanded by my master. I was afraid that if I said my master’s name, I would disgrace his reputation. If I didn’t have some achievements of my own, I wouldn’t dare to use his name to deceive others.

“Even though I’ve made some small achievements, I’ve still been trembling in fear and didn’t relax for a moment. I was afraid of bringing shame to my master’s love and nurturing.

“Even though I’ve become successful today, I don’t dare to use my master’s name casually. But there are some people…”

Tang Wangjin turned his head to look at Gao Xue.

His slender eyebrows and eyes seemed to gather balls of fire, wanting to burn her completely.

“You plagiarized my master’s ideas but instead claimed that the Qiao family plagiarized you. You even dared to drag my master down and placed yourself on par with him?

“Miss Gao, I just want to ask you…

“What right do you have to be mentioned with my master?

“Even we few senior and junior brothers don’t dare to do this. Are you worthy?”

F*ck, critical hit!

What Tang Wangjin said was like a knife stabbing into Gao Xue’s heart, causing her to bleed with every sentence.

“I…” Gao Xue was completely mute now.

At the side, President Qi had been in high spirits earlier. But now, his head was covered in sweat, and his face was pale. He didn’t know how to deal with this chaotic situation at all.

“When we met last night, I even specially asked you if these drawings came from your own hands. At the time, how did you swear to me that they were yours?

“How brazen must you be to say such shameless words?

“You took someone else’s things as your own, but you could still be so self-righteous. This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person!”

The more excited Gao Xue had been last night, the more despair she felt at this moment.

She originally thought that this person was the benefactor in her life and could help her career advance. She didn’t expect him to be the one who kicked her in the end!

He kicked her into a hopeless abyss.

1

“She’s too shameless. She’s a liar and a scumbag. She stole someone else’s designs and even dared to hold a solo exhibition for them. This is the first time I’ve encountered someone who swindles others so openly!”

“Get lost! You’re a shame to the industry!”

“You’re not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the Qiao family. Get lost!”

…

Other than some invitations received by industry insiders, many people had spent a lot of money to buy invitations. Now that everyone found out that the person on the stage was a liar, they were naturally furious.

Some people even crushed their invitation cards and threw them onto the stage. There were denouncements and curses everywhere. Gao Xue couldn’t stay on the stage anymore.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase her out.” The organizer’s face was also red from shame.

When Gao Xue saw the security guards approaching, she was scared out of her wits. She couldn’t be bothered with the fact that she was wearing a gown and high heels at this moment. She staggered and jumped off the stage, preparing to escape.

Before she could take two steps, she was blocked by the men in black. The security guards rushed over and held her down.

President Qi, the organizer, looked awkward. He braced himself, walked to the stage, and picked up the microphone with a look of self-reproach. “I’m very sorry about what happened today. It’s our ignorance that gave this shameless person the opportunity to take advantage of us. It even implicated the Qiao family. I apologize publicly on behalf of the entire organizer.”

Then he bowed deeply to Qiao Wangbei.

“I also express my deepest apologies to everyone present today.”

Just as he was about to bow to the audience, Yan Wangchuan, who had been sitting in the audience without saying a word, suddenly stood up. He took out a lawyer’s letter from his pocket and threw it in front of him.

“Your company sued the Jade Hall of Spring for copyright infringement some time ago and requested that the Jade Hall of Spring publicly apologize and compensate for your damages. This matter has caused an extremely bad impact on the Jade Hall of Spring. Moreover, we will also apply for a re-evaluation of the patents you applied for previously. This is a lawyer’s letter. Please keep it well!”

1

President Qi was dumbfounded.

He originally thought that the Qiao family and even the Jade Hall of Spring had not acted for such a long time, so they were probably really guilty and afraid. He didn’t expect that they had even prepared a lawyer’s letter.

1

They were just waiting to slap him in the face today.

They had been holding back their big moves.

To think that they were still so proud for so long and felt that they were very capable for pulling down the Qiao family and stepping on them. They didn’t expect to be slapped in the face so hard on such a big day.

This move was too ruthless.

“President Qi, please keep it well.” Yan Wangchuan always had sparse expressions when he spoke, and his words were cold and harsh.

The lawyer’s letter had long been prepared, and he had been waiting for this moment to throw it directly in his face. This family was really ruthless enough.

1

President Qi took the lawyer’s letter with trembling fingers. Just seeing the series of plaintiffs, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Not only were the Qiao family and the Jade Hall of Spring involved, but Qiao Aiyun, Yan Wangchuan, and even Song Fengwan were involved. There were many charges of defamation involved.

Isn’t this killing me… President Qi’s legs went weak, and he almost couldn’t stand.

At this moment, Old Master Fu, who had been sitting in the audience without saying a word, suddenly stood up and took the box from Uncle Zhong. “I came here this time to speak up for my good friend, but it seems like there’s no need for that now. I happen to have a painting here that he gave me when he was alive. I’ll take it out today and share it with everyone.”

And the painting Old Fu took out happened to be a ‘Magu’s Life Offering Illustration’. It was almost 50% similar to the first painting that Gao Xue had shown.

No one expected that the original work of this painting was with the Fu family. No wonder Old Master Fu came.

The truth was now very clear

Gao Xue had plagiarized and slandered others. But in the end, she was jointly besieged by a few great gods. Was there anything more embarrassing than this?!

1

There was no need to prove anything anymore.

Jing Hanchuan lowered his head and sneered. No wonder Fu Chen has been sitting beside me and remained calm the whole time. It turns out that these people are all ruthless characters, and he didn’t need to do anything at all.

But when Song Fengwan slapped that woman just now…

She was really ruthless and energetic.

“I told you earlier not to worry.” Fu Chen held his bracelet and looked at the girl on the stage with an affectionate smile.

“With so many formidable characters around her, it will be extremely difficult for you to marry Miss Song in the future.” Jing Hanchuan stabbed him mercilessly.

Fu Chen gritted his teeth. “You’re the typical person who says that grapes are sour because you can’t eat them.”

“I see that you’re smiling like an old father. Are you raising a wife or a daughter?”

Fu Chen forced a smile from the corner of his mouth. “That’s better than someone raising a yard of fish.”

1

Critical strike!

The Jing family members stood at the side expressionlessly. The show had just ended, but these two were already impatiently arguing with each other. They really didn’t stop for a moment.

***

The truth was already clear. Qiao Wangbei was grateful that Old Master Fu came personally, so they walked backstage together.

The scene was especially chaotic now. Many people who had spent money to buy an invitation said that they had been deceived, and they all looked for the organizer to demand an explanation. Some of the more agitated ones even felt that Gao Xue’s drawings weren’t worthy of being displayed and smashed them.

1

“You’re welcome. Your grandfather and I were friends, and I watched you grow up. I trust you.” Old Master Fu’s gaze landed on Song Fengwan.

He felt rather helpless. Fu Yuxiu is such a stupid kid. She’s shown her abilities this time, so many people will definitely be interested in her now. It’s just that our Fu family doesn’t have this fortune.

2

Old Madam Fu kept holding Song Fengwan’s hand and praising her for being smart and courageous, but she couldn’t help feeling regretful at the bottom of her heart.

“In the past, I always felt that Wanwan was still a child. Now that I look at her, she’s really grown up.” Old Madam Fu held her hand and sighed deeply.

Song Fengwan lowered her head and smiled.

“Ahhh, what a pity…” Old Madam Fu sighed repeatedly.

It had originally been a sure thing, but her granddaughter-in-law had run away. When she returned later, she had to scold that brat harshly. His eyes had grown so big that they were on the back of his head.

When the matter ended, Jing Hanchuan and Fu Chen got up and left through the back door.

He Shiqing happened to see Jing Hanchuan’s back together with the Jing family members beside him. After confirming his identity, she gritted her teeth and chased after him.

“Third Master, Miss He is behind us,” Shi Fang reminded.

“She’s here for Hanchuan.” Fu Chen chuckled and looked at Jing Hanchuan. “This woman is really devoted to you. She’s chased you all the way here.”

Jing Hanchuan narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

At this moment, it was a mess behind them. While He Shiqing chased after them, Jing Hanchuan and his group had already gotten into their car and were about to leave.

If I miss this opportunity, I really don’t know when I’ll see him again. He Shiqing gritted her teeth and rushed forward to try to stop the car.

1

“Sixth Master?” The driver pointed at He Shiqing not far away.

“Drive. Just leave.” Jing Hanchuan didn’t even look at her.

“What if I hit her?”

“Someone wants to extort me but is accidentally killed by me. Is it my fault?” Jing Hanchuan’s tone was cold.

1

He Shiqing had been asking about him for a long time. He didn’t have a good impression of the He family to begin with, and her clingy behavior was really annoying.

He Shiqing trotted over and could almost catch up to the car. But she didn’t expect Jing Hanchuan’s car to speed all the way. Even when he saw her approaching, he didn’t show any signs of stopping.

She was so frightened that she instinctively dodged backward and almost fell to the ground.

“Eldest Miss?” The He family members following closely behind her hurriedly supported her.

He Shiqing gnashed her teeth in hatred. Is Jing Hanchuan’s heart made of stone? He’s so resolute. Is he really not afraid of killing me?!

At this moment, Fu Chen was sitting in the Jing family’s car and laughing softly. “She’s really devoted to you. She doesn’t even want her life anymore.”

1

“She likes the Jing family behind me and the benefits that the Jing family can bring her. She should know that I have a good relationship with you and Sinian. Yu Manxi is Fu Sinian’s person. Where did she get the confidence to think that I would help her deal with Sinian?”

“Everyone says that love makes people blind? Maybe…” Fu Chen paused. “Just like your father, he can do anything for your mother.”

Jing Hanchuan chuckled lightly. “It’s a pity that she doesn’t have this charm…”

She was overestimating herself!
