Chapter 2452: Extra - Wrong Choice



Luckily, since that incident, Mengmeng had developed a habit of carrying her masterpiece with her. Now, the painting was inside the bunny-shaped bag she carried on her back.


Eager to prove her abilities, she immediately asked Senior Brother Qiao to take the painting out of her bag.


"Senior Brother, hurry, or they might run away."


The scholar named Gao laughed, "Don't worry, I won't run. I'll witness your painting today. With so many people present, don't let her receive biased treatment just because she's a child."


Other people frowned slightly. They weren't going to coddle a child, but they also weren't going to argue with someone who was clearly less than three years old.


Senior Brother Yan and Senior Brother Qiao exchanged a glance, intending to say something. However, Mengmeng spoke up, "I don't need coddling."


She had always comforted herself.


After saying this, she urged Senior Brother Qiao, "Did you take it out yet?"


"It's out. Is this the one?" Senior Brother Qiao asked.


Meng Meng nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's it. Show it to them. I'm amazing."


Despite the grim situation, Senior Brother Qiao was amused by Mengmeng's words.


He held the painting and thought that no matter what was painted on it, he had to elevate the atmosphere. He wouldn't give that scholar named Gao a chance to speak.


Thinking so, Senior Brother Qiao stood up straight and unfolded the painting.


By now, many people had gathered at the Center of the Lake. They all leaned in to see, and their eyes widened in shock the next moment.


This painting... was too grand, wasn't it?


"Did this child really paint this?"


"It's impossible. Even a child prodigy can't produce such a masterpiece."


The scholar named Gao couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at the painting and felt like he had been fooled.


Lowering his head, he sneered at Mengmeng, "Is this really your painting?"


Mengmeng looked up proudly, "Of course." It was taken out of her bag, after all.


Senior Brother Yan and Senior Brother Qiao exchanged a complex look. They knew Meng Meng's abilities very well. This painting obviously wasn't hers; it was most likely a work by their school's headmaster, but it lacked a signature or seal.


Although they loved Mengmeng dearly, they couldn't lie and pretend this was her work. It would harm both Mengmeng and their headmaster's reputation if this matter got out.


So, Senior Brother Qiao held the painting and crouched down, allowing Meng Meng to see the content of the painting. He asked in a low voice, "Meng Meng, did you paint this?"


Meng Meng was just about to nod and confirm when she caught a glimpse of the painting's content and exclaimed in surprise, "No, no, Qiao Senior Brother, you got the wrong one. This one is Daddy's painting."


Gao burst into laughter. He had said all along that a three-year-old child couldn't possess such skills.


Senior Brother Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. "It's my mistake. I took it out without checking. Let me get the correct one."


"Okay." Meng Meng turned around, allowing him to take out another painting from her bag.


This time, after she checked it and confirmed it was the right one, Senior Brother Qiao stood up.
