Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Old Madam Xia finished speaking, Yan Jun immediately said, “Miss Xia is the apprentice that Mr. Fang Shiyun has acknowledged. Of course, she’s talented in art. No Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry can compare to her. However, in terms of talent, there’s probably only one person who’s stronger than Miss Xia.”

The smile on Xia Mengyan’s face froze instantly, and her eyes shone with jealousy. Who was more talented than her? Could it be that Fang Shiyun had other candidates?

Old Madam Xia, who was at the side, also became nervous. She would never allow anyone to threaten Mengyan’s status.

Seeing that everyone in the Xia family was so nervous, Yan Jun smiled and said, “She’s Mr. Fang’s senior. She joined the industry at a very young age. I heard that Mr. Fang respects this senior very much. If you’re lucky enough to meet her, you must be more respectful. Maybe this senior can give you a few pointers. That’ll be more beneficial than studying hard for two years.”

When the Xia family heard that, they instantly heaved a sigh of relief. So, she was Fang Shiyun’s senior!

“Mr. Fang’s senior is Liang Pingchuan’s last apprentice. Although very few people have seen her and she has very few calligraphy works, every one of them is widely spread. Her style is wanton and frivolous, and she can almost perfect all the details. I heard that she became Liang Pingchuan’s apprentice when she was very young. All these years, she has been learning from Liang Pingchuan. She has a carefree personality like Liang Pingchuan and doesn’t like to be tied down, so she didn’t join the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation. However, there are few people in the calligraphy world who don’t know this senior.”

“It’s probably because true artists don’t like to show their faces. We’ve invited her to attend painting and calligraphy compet.i.tions several times, but Mr. Liang Pingchuan has always rejected the invitations on her behalf. He said that she thinks she still needs to practice and isn’t qualified to be a judge.”

“We’ve all seen her calligraphy work with our own eyes. Her standard has already surpa.s.sed Fang Shiyun’s, but she’s still so humble. How rare!”

Hearing everyone’s explanation, Xia Mengyan’s expression gradually softened. It turned out that the person Yan Jun was talking about who was more talented than her was Fang Shiyun’s senior. It was already beyond her reach to be able to acknowledge Fang Shiyun as her master. Fang Shiyun’s senior was a big shot she could not reach. If she could meet her in the future, she would definitely perform well. Perhaps the senior would see that she was hardworking and talented and personally nurture her. At that time, she would enjoy a greater glory than just becoming Fang Shiyun’s apprentice.

Old Madam Xia and Xia Cheng were also a little excited. It turned out that Mengyan’s talent was second only to Fang Shiyun’s senior. If they could get to know that senior, Mengyan would definitely be famous in high society. At that time, there would definitely be an endless stream of people coming to ask for her hand in marriage.

This thought made the Xia family very excited, and Yan Jun’s words also moved the guests present. Everyone discussed softly. “Miss Xia, you’re really talented! We have to build a good relationship with the Xia family.”

“They’re clearly both children of the Xia family, so why is Qiao Xi so unbearable? If she had half of Miss Xia’s character and strength, her reputation wouldn’t have been ruined.”

“Don’t mention Qiao Xi anymore. How unlucky! When Mr. Fang comes later, don’t let him hear you, lest it affects Miss Xia’s reputation.”

Amidst everyone’s praise, Xia Mengyan’s face turned red. She smiled in embarra.s.sment. “Thank you for your praise, everyone. I’ll continue to work hard and not let everyone down!”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Someone was about to push the door open and enter.

Old Madam Xia turned around excitedly. Could it be that Fang Shiyun was here?

One second, two seconds…

The private room was silent as everyone stared at the door. The door slowly opened. The man who entered was not wearing a suit or branded clothes. Instead, he was wearing a long robe that did not even have a logo. He was carrying a canvas bag. He stood at the door, looking out of place with the people in suits and leather shoes.

Disgust appeared in Old Madam Xia’s eyes. Today was Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet. How could she let this poor man in? Mr. Fang would be here soon. If he saw this person in the room, how could he eat?

Xia Mengyan also frowned, and her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. However, she still had to pretend to be gentle in front of everyone. She walked forward and said gently, “May I know who you are…”

“Thank goodness! The banquet hasn’t started yet, right?” The person who entered took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Xia Mengyan hurriedly took a few steps back. The disgust in her eyes was about to overflow. She could not suppress the frustration in her heart. Who was this person? He was dressed so poorly. Was he a beggar?

Old Madam Xia glared at him and was about to wave her hand to get someone to chase him out when Yan Jun suddenly stood up and went forward to welcome him warmly. “Mr. Fang! You’re finally here!”
