268 The Bet

“Xue, you’re also partic.i.p.ating in the Rong City Cup?” Liu Cheng asked Jiang Xue in surprise.

“It was the teacher who taught me painting who suggested that I partic.i.p.ate, so I signed up,” Jiang Xue said humbly. “You also know that Grandpa Xiang likes me because I’m good at drawing.”

In fact, Jiang Xue hadn’t signed up. She just felt that, since it was a compet.i.tion sponsored by the Xiang Group, she should show her face. Besides, she had been learning painting for a long time. The teacher had a high opinion of her, so Jiang Xue was confident that she would be able to get a good ranking as long as she partic.i.p.ated.

Moreover, if she could stand out in the Rong City Cup this time, coupled with the child in her belly, she might be able to more quickly get married to Xiang Cheng.

Liu Cheng, who was standing beside her, suddenly remembered that Jiang Xue had merely taken out a painting at Old Master Xiang’s birthday banquet and Old Master Xiang, who had originally been cold to Jiang Xue, suddenly became a little kinder to her.

At that time, many of those present said that Jiang Xue was a rare painting genius.

Liu Cheng stood a little taller as she said triumphantly to Shen Xi, “You don’t know, right? Xue’s painting was personally confirmed by Old Master Xiang.”

Shen Xi looked at Jiang Xue and asked unreadably, “Oh? Is it like this?”

Jiang Xue hadn’t expected that Shen Xi would look at her with such a penetrating gaze and instantly felt a little guilty. After all, the painting at that time actually belonged to Shen Xi.

However, Jiang Xue thought about it again; the teachers she had hired were all top masters. After this period of training, perhaps her drawing skills had already surpa.s.sed Shen Xi’s?

If she were to lose to Shen Xi, she could still use the child in her belly to put pressure on Xiang Cheng. She could play some tricks to ensure that Shen Xi would not be able to beat her.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Xue suddenly felt enlightened. She wanted Shen Xi to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion and then let her lose to her in public!

Jiang Xue no longer felt guilty. Instead, with a determination to win, she said to Shen Xi, “Yes. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you partic.i.p.ate as well this time and we can compete. Of course, if you think you don’t have the strength, I won’t force you to partic.i.p.ate.”

Shen Xi smiled. She had never expected Jiang Xue to be so confident.

Not to mention that Shen Xi had started learning how to paint when she was young and had been a gunner for five years in her previous life, she was the one who had drawn for Jiang Xue in the Rong City Cup in that life. It was impossible for Jiang Xue to win against her!

However, since Jiang Xue wanted to humiliate herself, Shen Xi wasn’t afraid.

Shen Xi accepted Jiang Xue’s verbal challenge and readily agreed, “Since you’ve said this, it seems a little unreasonable for me not to partic.i.p.ate. Alright, let’s compete!”

“It’s so boring if there’s no prize. Why don’t we have a bet?” Jiang Xue said, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence.

Shen Xi suddenly became interested. “What are we betting on?”

Jiang Xue leaned on the desk behind her and said with gleaming eyes, “If my ranking is better than yours this time, you will have to stand on the stage and read ‘I’m not as good as Jiang Xue, I’m defeated by Jiang Xue, I’m a piece of trash’ for an hour. Similarly, if my ranking is lower than yours, I will say the same thing.”

Shen Xi hadn’t expected Jiang Xue to be so insistent on winning against her. However, since the enemy was already shouting at her doorstep, she wasn’t a coward.

However, in order to prevent Jiang Xue from going back on her words, Shen Xi took out her phone. “Words are not proof; this video will act as evidence. For this year’s Rong City Cup, whoever ranks lower will have to stand on the podium and recite for an hour. If I win, Jiang Xue will have to recite ‘I’m not as good as Shen Xi, I’m defeated by Shen Xi, I’m a piece of tras.h.!.+’ for an hour.”

The two of them recorded a video, and the crowd dispersed.

Guan Lei, who was standing at the side, moved closer to Shen Xi and whispered, “Are you confident?”

Shen Xi pondered for a moment and feigned seriousness as she said, “A little bit!”

Guan Lei was shocked when he heard that. If Shen Xi lost, he could not bear to let Shen Xi say those words in front of so many people.

Guan Lei thought of Teacher Shen and wondered if he should ask Teacher Shen to guide Shen Xi. After all, even his grandfather had praised Teacher Shen’s work.

Guan Lei immediately sent a message to Teacher Shen.

“Teacher Shen, I would like to ask if you accept any students who need short-term guidance?”
