After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 414 - 415: This Will Be a Good Start

Everyone present here is highly knowledgeable, and looking at Lou Xi’s calligraphy, they feel the young woman has a real talent.

The excellence of the painting did not make her writing look inferior.

On the contrary, it was Lou Xi’s calligraphy that added the finishing touch to Shen Ruozhuo’s painting.

It truly confirmed what Lou Xi had just said.

Qin Mobai, whose face was previously calm, now revealed a charming smile. He gently embraced Lou Xi and whispered in her ear, "I never knew Mrs. Qin was so skilled at calligraphy."

Earlier, Qin Mobai had seen Lou Xi’s schoolwork; her penmanship was beautiful. He didn’t expect her brush calligraphy to be this good.

"I just learned from my school’s teacher for a while, nothing compared to Miss Shen’s talent," Lou Xi said modestly, her voice not loud but audible to everyone at the main table.

However, in Shen Ruozhuo’s ears, these words sounded extremely sarcastic.

She had been learning calligraphy and painting since childhood and was a well-known artist in the country, yet her painting lost to Lou Xi’s calligraphy!

She lost to an amateur!

"Thank you, Miss Shen, for the painting. When you get married, Mo Bai and I will certainly present you with a grand gift," Lou Xi returned the gesture to Shen Ruozhuo.

Lou Xi, dressed in a cheongsam and possessing the status of Mrs. Qin, broke through Shen Ruozhuo’s attempts to embarrass her, letting everyone know that Qin Mobai did not marry a woman who was useless.

"N...no need to thank," Shen Ruozhuo felt like a defeated phoenix, frustrated, her reputation completely shattered.

Today, she failed to make Lou Xi a laughingstock within the elite circle; instead, she paid with her well-cultivated reputation of many years.

"Alright, it’s about time, the luncheon is about to begin," seeing it was enough, Qin Sheng spoke to dissolve the awkwardness.

After all, the wedding banquet must go on; how could it be interrupted by such a trivial incident?

Shen Ruozhuo, with her head hanging low, just wanted to leave quickly.

At this moment, Qin Moxi and Fu Sinian returned, saw the scene here, and jogged over. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she tripped a bit on her dress, needing to find something to hold on to to avoid falling.

Thus, she saw the table in front of her and also saw the inkstone placed on the table.

When Qin Moxi leaned on the table, she "accidentally" knocked over the inkstone.

Ink spilled, ruining the painting Qin Sheng had put down just now.

The large blot of ink rendered the pair of mandarin ducks and the ugly duckling unrecognizable, but only Lou Xi’s calligraphy remained clean and untouched on the rice paper.

"Oh, I didn’t do it on purpose!" Qin Moxi stuck out her tongue; although she said that, there wasn’t a hint of apology in her tone.

Yet, no one blamed Qin Moxi’s "accident," as they all clearly saw Shen Ruozhuo’s attempt to humiliate Lou Xi earlier.

"This is Miss Shen’s painting, right? I’m really sorry," Qin Moxi quickly took Shen Ruozhuo’s hand, and being close, Qin Moxi whispered, "Lou Xi is now part of our Qin Family. Bullying her means bullying our entire family. Even though Grandpa liked you before, now Lou Xi is his granddaughter-in-law!"

Shen Ruozhuo’s face turned pale.

Qin Moxi released Shen Ruozhuo’s hand at the right moment, acting as if nothing had happened.

After that, Qin Moxi gave Qin Mobai and Lou Xi a gentle, knowing smile.

It’s obvious who is part of the family and who is the disruptor.

Lou Xi felt Qin Sheng and Qin Moxi’s support for her and sensed they were beginning to accept her.

This would be a good start!
