Mr. Lu, Madam Has Blocked You Again!

Chapter 194 A slap in the face like a storm!

 The next day is the Art Exhibition at the Palais Vatican. Top painters from all over the world are participating in the exhibition with their most proud works.

The art exhibition is divided into two parts. First, guests appreciate all the exhibited works in the exhibition hall, and then there is an on-site painting auction, where guests can spend money to buy the works they like.

 While participating in the exhibition, Lu Xue saw many people pointing and pointing in front of her paintings, as if they were evaluating her paintings. Although she didn't hear what they were saying clearly, she felt that so many people were attracted to her paintings, no less than those who looked at the X-QUEEN paintings. That must be because her paintings were good.

Thinking of this, she turned to Zheng Yufang confidently and said: "Mom, I think my painting will definitely fetch a sky-high price when the auction is held soon."

Zheng Yufang is also proud of her daughter: "It goes without saying that today is the day when our family Lu Xue will become famous in one battle, and then her net worth will also rise accordingly!"

 Her words were not only meant for Lu Xue, but also for the Su family.

 Ever since they got engaged, she had been waiting for the Su family to take the initiative to bring up the matter of marriage, but to her surprise, they never expressed the slightest sign.

Su Yan understood the meaning of her words and immediately expressed his opinion: "After the art exhibition is over and we return to country S, Lu Xue and I should start preparing for the wedding."

He was originally a little tired of Lu Xue and began to miss Lin Qianxia again, but today he saw so many people admiring Lu Xue's works, and after secretly weighing it, his attitude towards her became much more attentive.

 After all, Lu Xue is so talented and has a good background at home.

As for Lin Qianxia, ​​when he gets married in the future, she can be his underground lover. This can be considered the best of both worlds.

Su Yan’s parents, who were originally profit-seeking people, also agreed.

“Don’t worry, mother-in-law, we have already bought a new house!”

 If you buy it before marriage, it will still be considered as the property of their Su family, and the woman will have no share!

“The bride price will not be small, we must not treat Lu Xue badly!”

It doesn’t matter how much the bride price is. Anyway, when the woman gets married, she will add a little more as a dowry. When the time comes, they will just find a way to cheat her!

 Lu Xue finally felt a little satisfied after hearing these promises and being photographed wildly by a group of media reporters from country S.

At this time, she happened to see Lin Qianxia wandering in the crowd, so she stepped forward to feel superior: "Qianxia, ​​where is your painting? Let me admire it too."

Lin Qianxia glanced at her coldly: "No need, you can't appreciate it."

 At Lu Xue's level, I am not qualified to appreciate her paintings.

Lu Xue only said such words to hide her ugliness when no one saw her paintings. Then she pointed at the paintings she brought with her and said with a bit of sarcasm in her tone: "To be honest, I really can't appreciate your paintings, but you You can look at my paintings more and learn more and you will make progress.”

Lin Qianxia took one look at her exhibited works and almost laughed out loud: "That's it?"

It is still not up to the entry-level level when she first started to learn painting. It can be said that she is at the bottom of all the paintings today. How can she have the courage to ask her to learn from her?

Seeing that she dared to laugh at him in turn, Lu Xue couldn't help but raise her voice and said: "Lin Qianxia, ​​you don't know how to pretend to understand. Everyone agrees that good is really good! If I don't draw well, there will be so many people around me. Are you taking photos of my paintings there? There are no less people than those of X-QUEEN’s paintings!”

"Have you ever been to the zoo? There are many people watching the peacocks and crocodiles." Lin Qianxia saw through it but did not say anything. He gave her a sympathetic smile, then turned and left.

 She was among that group of people just now. The reason why they surrounded Lu Xue's paintings was because they were complaining about her! The guests who can come to participate in the auction are all international political and business celebrities. After seeing many famous calligraphy and paintings, they naturally have the taste to distinguish good from bad.

Lu Xue was so angry at her sympathetic smile.

Zheng Yufang soon came over to persuade: "Lu Xue, don't be angry with that little bitch, she just talks loudly, and after the bidding starts, we will slap her in the face with our strength!"

Su Yan’s parents also said.

 “That’s right, let’s speak with our strength!”

“Adjust your emotions and keep smiling. The bidding will start soon. The real winner is the one who laughs at the end.”

 After they finished speaking, they secretly pinched Su Yan's arm.

Su Yan was looking at Lin Qianxia's slender back and was slightly lost in thought. After being pinched like this, he came back to his senses and said casually: "In my eyes, Lu Xue, you are the best!"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes drifted towards Lin Qianxia again.

 Half an hour later, the bidding started.

This auction was opened by X-QUEEN and concluded by an old gentleman named MR Zhou.

I chose these two people because they are the most famous and representative of all the invited painters. X-QUEEN is the youngest, said to be in her early 20s; while MR Zhou is the oldest, a late bloomer, and is already 90 years old.

The host came to the stage holding a painting of X-QUEEN and smiled at everyone in the audience: "Hello everyone, the painting in my hand now..."

Before he started to introduce it, everyone below could not help but started shouting the price, for fear that they would not be able to buy it if they were late.

"Fifty million!"

 “Fifty-five million!”

"Seventy million…"

 After a storm of price increases, the price soared to 100 million in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xue stood in the crowd, feeling a little jealous and clenching her fists subconsciously.

She thought to herself, there are people who are willing to spend 100 million to buy this kind of **** work. Then wouldn’t her work be sold for hundreds of millions in a short time?

Just as he was thinking this, a cold voice sounded from the crowd, slow but very threatening: "I will pay 300 million."

As Lu Yunchen finished speaking, no one at the scene dared to increase the price.

For someone like him who directly added 200 million, it is obvious that he is determined to win. There are few people in the world who have the financial resources to compete with him.

 Just someone whispering.

“Last year Mr. Lu also bought X-QUEEN’s works, but last year he only paid 200 million.”

“Yes, even if he only gives out 200 million this year, no one can compete with him. Why does he give out an extra 100 million for nothing?”

“Who knows, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.”

Lu Yunchen listened to these discussions, with a secret smile on his lips.

 Before coming, he asked someone to inquire in advance. This is Lin Qianxia's exhibition work.

 Unexpectedly, this little girl turned out to be the painter he has always admired most—X-QUEEN!

If it were for X-QUEEN's works, he would have offered at most 200 million, but now he was going for people, and an extra 100 million would be nothing.

The host finally announced loudly: "X-QUEEN's painting was obtained by Mr. Lu! Let's move on to the next work..."

I don’t know if it’s man-made or a coincidence. The author of the next work is called XQ. Not only is the name very similar to X-QUEEN, but the abstract style is also very similar. It’s obvious that he wants to gain popularity.

 It’s just that this XQ has obviously only scratched the surface and is not at the same level as X-QUEEN.

Lu Xue naturally associated XQ with Lin Qianxia. When pronounced in reverse, doesn’t XQ mean Qianxia’s initials? Hehe, this woman Lin Qianxia is so shameless. She dares to take advantage of X-QUEEN’s popularity. It’s simply wishful thinking!

The guests present obviously didn’t buy it either. Only a few nouveau riche people paid 100,000 yuan and bought them back as X-QUEEN fakes.

Lu Xue was secretly amused in her heart.

Lin Qianxia was so embarrassed now that a painting only cost 100,000 yuan! If it were her, she wouldn't have the shame to stay here any longer!

Soon, the host announced on the stage: "The next person to participate in the auction is-Lu Xue!"

Lu Xue was immediately excited when she heard her name, and secretly held her breath.

 She has been practicing hard for so many years, and finally waited for her moment of glory!

Who would have known that after the host introduced her paintings, there was not a single person holding a sign underneath, and everyone was whispering and pointing.

This time, Lu Xue finally heard what they were saying.

“Oh my god, the threshold for the Palais Vatican Art Exhibition is now so low, anyone can participate?”

“Seeing these paintings, I think I can participate in the competition next year!”

“This person’s family must have a good background, and he got in through connections.”

“It’s a pity that the level is so bad that no matter how much money you spend, you can’t promote it!”

The supporter’s hand holding the painting was a little sore, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his feet: "Everyone, at least give me a price. This work is... not that bad. Even the solid wood frame is worth a lot of money."

He really couldn't think of how to praise the painting, so he could only praise the frame instead.

After what he said, someone finally held up a sign, and Lu Xue's heart, which had been hit to the bottom, was rekindled with hope!

However, the man called out a number: "Fifty yuan, no more."

Lu Xue suddenly felt as if someone had punched her hard, and she was pushed deeper and deeper into the bottom of the valley. The number fifty yuan in her mind was gradually enlarging...

How could her painting be worth only fifty yuan!

Paper and paints are more than this price, and even the murals purchased in a group on Pinxixi are more than 50 yuan!
