Chapter 155

I know this, it's the author of the manga "When Rain Falls on the Fingertips"! Haven't you seen it before?

That manga with the insane art style?! No wonder it looks familiar!

Discussion voices rose and fell; some stared expectantly at the curtain, others pulled out their phones to search for the name "Yue Shu".

Yue Shu, the sole author of the manga "When Rain Falls on the Fingertips"!

This name has been thunderous in the manga world in recent years, known for its unique art style and… the content is not mentioned.

And its extremely tense composition has won countless fans, having been analyzed and explained by many art masters in public lectures.

Yet it has always remained mysterious, never having appeared publicly!

Qiao Su was also in the crowd; the day before yesterday she had been humiliated to the point of losing face, and today she deliberately changed into a more luxurious outfit, hoping to regain some dignity.

Upon seeing Mu Youyu, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes, and she deliberately raised her voice: "Some people are just bored, wanting to jump into any occasion for the fun of it, really thinking the art world is something you can just walk into?"

Just as she was about to step forward to provoke, a lovely voice from beside her interrupted: "Wow! Isn't this the gorgeous little beauty who drew amazingly the day before yesterday?"

Yu Ling squeezed through the crowd and ran over, the hem of her pink dress flying, her eyes full of admiration: "I'm Yu Ling! I super love 'When Rain Falls on the Fingertips'! You're the great god Yue Shu, right?"

The day before yesterday this person's painting was in the C spot; today they swapped it for another, but she still recognized the art style!

And it was labeled with the two characters "Yue Shu", which could only prove that this person is Yue Shu.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent instantly.

Everyone's gazes locked onto Mu Youyu, filled with incredulous shock.

Yu Ling, only 19 years old, is an outstanding freshman in the Art School of C University, and also a frequent gold medalist in international art competitions, somewhat known in the industry, with a bright future.

Even someone who admires her so much…… could it be that this seemingly young girl before us is truly that mysterious manga god Yue Shu?

Mu Youyu didn't expect this person to be so quick-witted; meeting her admiring gaze, she curled the corner of her lips, her voice clear and cold: "I am."

Just two simple words, yet they made the onlookers involuntarily speak up.

"It's really the great god Yue Shu!"

"Good heavens! I actually got to see the real person! A living god!"

"Is Yue Shu really that young?! Or is it Miss Mu?! My goodness!"

"How did Master Lin invite Yue Shu?"

Qiao Su stood pale-faced in the center of the exhibition hall, her high-heel slipping on the floor, almost stumbling and falling.

Today Lin Tingsong is introducing his closed-door disciple to the people in the circle, so his disciple's painting is definitely in the C spot!

If she is Yue Shu…… then she is Lin Tingsong's disciple.

She clutched the work badge on her chest tightly, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "You…… you're talking nonsense! How could Master Lin possibly accept someone like you……"

Jiang Liangjin had been standing beside Mu Youyu, half a step behind to protect her; hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly and his aura dropped instantly.

Just as he was about to step forward to speak in her defense, Mu Youyu stopped him with a reassuring glance.

She lightly tugged his hand, indicating she could handle it.

Jiang Liangjin's eyes filled with fondness, he stepped back half a step, giving her enough space, and replied softly: "Okay."

Only to see the girl steps forward slowly, meeting Qiao Su's fearful gaze, her eyes light and airy, as if she didn't take her seriously.

"Accept someone like me? What?"

"Accept someone like me, young and having won several international art awards, whose works are collected by the National Art Museum?"

Yu Ling, beside herself with excitement, covered her mouth, eyes sparkling: "So handsome! No wonder she beat her god! No wonder it's Yue Shu the great!"

Jiang Liangjin noticed the work badge on Qiao Su's chest, lifted his eyes expressionlessly, and said, "You're fired."

Qiao Su snapped her head up, eyes flashing with anger: "Who are you? On what grounds do you fire me?"

Those around burst into laughter: "Come on, Miss Qiao, I thought you were just messing around the day before yesterday; you really don't know the identities and status of Young Master Jiang and Miss Mu?"

You've been in C Shi for almost a month and haven't followed the news? Haven't searched for the richest person in the country? The four major conglomerates of C Shi?

They've been on the news several times, and short videos often pop up! Don't you look at your phone?

What era are you living in? Not knowing the Jiang Consortium's Young Master Jiang is forgivable, but you don't even know Miss Mu, who has thirteen older brothers and is protected by the recently prominent four major conglomerates, and the sole princess of Y Guo?

Someone sighed, tone laced with pity: "You've got nothing to say, huh? Just deal with it."

Qiao Su had heard of Young Master Jiang and Miss Mu's names, especially Miss Mu, who was the most talked-about person among her friends lately, but she had never looked them up, so she didn't know what they looked like.

These past few days she's been busy preparing for this art exhibition, trying to perform in front of Master Lin, with no time to check her phone, so naturally she didn't realize these two people before her were the legendary figures.

Upon hearing that, her face turned pale again.

Before she could say anything else, two black-clad bodyguards grabbed her arms and roughly lifted her up.

She struggled and screamed: "Let go of me! I'm the eldest daughter of the Qiao family! You can't treat me like this!"

"The Qiao family?" a sneer came, the voice carrying the youthful clarity yet also a chilling pressure.

Everyone turned toward the sound, only to see Mu Xi had silently appeared at the entrance of the exhibition hall at some point.

The youth stood tall, his striking blue-white gradient hair shimmering with a cold light under the lights, forming a strong visual contrast with his overly delicate face.

He wore a simple short-sleeve and work pants, looking casual, yet his whole body exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Mu Youyu's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly.

Soon, the chill in her eyes faded considerably, replaced by warmth: "Second brother!"

Mu Xi smiled, "Youbao."

Qiao Su was still struggling; hearing Mu Youyu address the youth, her heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding rising.

But she still refused to give up, shouting loudly at Mu Xi: "What gives you the right to say that about me? I'm the eldest daughter of the premier wealthy family of B Shi! If you dare to move against me, my father won't let you off!"

Still wondering which Qiao family's Mu Xi this was, hearing Qiao Su announce her lineage, he lifted his eyelids, his light-colored pupils icy, the curve of his thin lips revealing undisguised mockery.

After the bodyguards, perceptive as they were, had brought her forward, he then said slowly: "In a few minutes, you can go check whether the Qiao Consortium still exists."

After his words fell, he didn't even glance at Qiao Su again, merely raising his hand casually in a gesture meaning "dispose of her."

The bodyguards immediately understood, dragging Qiao Su away like a sack of torn cloth, quickly leaving the exhibition hall.

She was still shouting something in her mouth, but her voice quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The whole venue fell deathly silent.

Mu Xi turned and walked toward Mu Youyu; the coldness on his face instantly melted, as if he had become a different person.

He raised his chin, his voice thick with obvious indulgence: "Baby, I'm late—didn't let her bully you, right?"

His voice wasn't loud, yet it carried clearly throughout the venue.

Only then did everyone realize: this person is the Young Master Two of the Mu Clan Conglomerate, Young Master Xi!
