The few young ladies instantly widened their eyes unhappily. They could not stand Xia Mengyan’s act of pretending to be noble, but no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could not cause trouble at the Xia family’s apprenticeship banquet. After all, the Xia family was powerful. If they offended them, it would affect their families’ businesses.

Sumei said proudly, “Moreover, even Mr. Yan said that Mr. Fang will definitely come.”

Yan Jun, who was sitting in the corner, did not expect Old Madam Xia to mention him. Although he was a member of the National Painting and Calligraphy Association, he was ranked last. His talent was average, and he did not have an outstanding master to recommend him. He had always been mediocre.

However, he was unwilling to be looked down on for the rest of his life, so he wanted to please Fang Shiyun’s apprentice.

He also heard that Fang Shiyun had a senior whom he respected very much. If he could get to know that person, it would be a better choice. However, it was very difficult to meet Fang Shiyun, let alone that mysterious senior.

Before this, Yan Jun had also wondered if Fang Shiyun’s gifts were for his senior. However, since he called her his senior, she must be older than him. However, those gifts were all for young girls, so he guessed that they were for his apprentice.

Over the past few days, Fang Shiyun had only contacted the Xia family. The Xia family was very high-profile and even held a apprenticeship banquet for this. If they were not confident, how could they casually hold a apprenticeship banquet?

Moreover, Miss Xia was indeed very outstanding. She had great achievements at a young age and was very famous overseas. Even if the apprentice Fang Shiyun wanted to take on was not her, he might consider it after knowing her achievements.

After a few seconds of silence, Yan Jun smiled and said, “That’s right. We all heard that Mr. Fang is taking on an apprentice. Miss Xia is so outstanding. Mr. Fang will definitely come.”

When the Xia family heard this, their expressions softened a little. The daughters who were watching the joke just now were also reprimanded by their parents and could only lower their heads aggrievedly.

Everyone praised Xia Mengyan and the Xia family.

Ai Sumei looked at her granddaughter and nodded her head proudly. Her granddaughter was not inferior to those brats from the Yin family. Mengyan would soon become Fang Shiyun’s apprentice. This was the stepping stone to enter the art circle. With Mengyan’s ability, it would not be long before she stood out and rose in status.

Qiao Xi’s reputation was ruined because she cheated, and it was impossible for her to enter the art industry again. She would probably not be able to stay in the design industry in the future. So what if she was a little talented?

Yin Lianxin was still inferior to her!

The more Ai Sumei thought about it, the more excited she became. She knew that the Yin family was holding a birthday party in Yingyun Hall. She urgently wanted the Yin family to see how outstanding her granddaughter was. She wanted to show off and use Xia Mengyan to slap Yin Lianxin’s face.

Old Madam Xia was so excited that her entire body was trembling. Hearing everyone’s compliments, she gradually lost herself and showed off. “That’s right. Our Mengyan is outstanding, unlike a certain someone who actually cheated in Li City University’s competition and embarrassed the Xia family. She’s clearly a child of the Xia family, but she’s worlds apart from Mengyan. I don’t know if it’s because she did something wrong in her previous life. She’s clearly not a child raised by the Xia family, but she always causes everyone in the Xia family to be implicated by her!”

The moment that was said, the private room instantly fell silent.

Xia Mengyan remained silent, her expression still gentle. However, the corners of her mouth curled into a proud smile because she knew what her grandmother was going to say next.

When everyone heard Old Madam Xia’s words, they were slightly stunned. Then, someone asked curiously, “Old Madam Xia, are you talking about the cheating incident at Li City University?”

Seeing that someone was asking about it, Ai Sumei hurriedly suppressed the smile on her face and said indignantly, “Yes, not only did she cheat, but she also implicated Mengyan. Mengyan is her sister. Why doesn’t she think about Mengyan when she does things? She may not be afraid of her reputation being ruined, but our Mengyan has always been so hardworking. Why should she bear the consequences of her mistake?

“Fortunately, Mr. Fang is a magnanimous person. He knows that the two didn’t grow up together and their personalities are worlds apart. Otherwise, it might have affected Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet!”

Xia Mengyan hurriedly went forward to calm Ai Sumei down, then smiled helplessly. “Grandma, this matter is in the past. Why are you angry? Moreover, my cousin didn’t grow up in the Xia family and didn’t receive the right education. It’s normal for her to be tainted by some bad habits. We’ll educate her well in the future and let her change.”

At the mention of the cheating incident at Li City University, Yan Jun looked confused. “What exactly is going on?”
