Chapter 77: Chapter 77 I Want a Fair Competition with You

Sun Jiancheng broke out in cold sweat, his face twitching involuntarily, "I... I just wasn’t in good form and didn’t want to show my true skills, that’s all!"

Someone mocked, "Even if you were in bad form, you couldn’t possibly paint something worse than what my son, who’s in kindergarten, could do, right?"

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

Qin Lan looked at Sun Jiancheng in disbelief, "This... What’s going on here? Didn’t you say that all these paintings were made by your hand? But why is it that when you paint live, it turns out so terrible?"

Sun Jiancheng glared at her, "You shut your mouth!"

Chen Fan snorted coldly, "Because all these paintings were stolen from me!"

Sun Jiancheng clenched his teeth and looked at Chen Fan, "Bullshit! I got these paintings from the recycling bin at Hillside Villa. How could they be stolen from you!"

Chen Fan laughed, "So you’ve just admitted it then!"

Sun Jiancheng’s pupils constricted, only then realizing he had blurted out the truth in a moment of agitation, and his body stiffened.

The crowd looked at Sun Jiancheng with disdain, and many were even angry for being deceived.

Deflated, Sun Jiancheng looked resentfully at Chen Fan, "Even if I’m not Master Qingyun, what gives you the right to claim these paintings as your own? The real Master Qingyun lives in Hillside Villa!"

Chen Fan could not help but laugh, "I am the owner of Hillside Villa."

Sun Jiancheng was incredulous, "Who are you trying to fool? Hillside Villa is currently the most expensive place in the entire Jiangcheng; who do you think you are? And you have the audacity to claim you’re the owner of Hillside Villa?"

Qin Lan also sneered, "Putting on a show again."

At that moment, Manager Sun rushed to the scene, flustered.

Seeing him, Sun Jiancheng was startled and quickly asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Manager Sun ignored him and ran up to Chen Fan, full of apologies, "Mr. Chen, I’m so sorry for the delay, the traffic was terrible, and I arrived late."

"You arrived just in time," Chen Fan smiled and pointed at Sun Jiancheng, "Please tell him who the owner of Hillside Villa is."

Manager Sun, confused, said, "The owner of Hillside Villa is Mr. Chen, of course!"

Sun Jiancheng and Qin Lan were both dumbstruck, unable to believe it.

"This... this can’t be... he’s just a pretty boy, how can this be..." Sun Jiancheng swallowed hard.

"The owner of Hillside Villa... is Chen Fan..." Qin Lan’s eyes lost focus, and she fell to the ground, unsteady.

Manager Sun was still trying to understand what had happened, and cautiously asked Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, could you please explain to me what exactly happened here?"

Chen Fan recounted how Sun Jiancheng had stolen his paintings to hold the exhibition.

Upon hearing this, Manager Sun became livid and kicked Sun Jiancheng, "You worthless scoundrel! I kindly arranged a job for you, and you dare do such a thing behind my back!"

Sun Jiancheng didn’t dare to argue back and broke down, bursting into tears.

Chen Fan said, "Manager Sun, many people here aren’t clear about the situation. Please explain to them on my behalf."

Manager Sun quickly nodded, then took out his work ID to show everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the property manager of Yunwu Villas, and I can attest that this Mr. Chen is indeed the owner of the top-tier luxury residence, Hillside Villa, at Yunwu Villas!"

He pointed at Sun Jiancheng, "And this man, is a custodial staff of Yunwu Villas, responsible for clearing out the recycled waste bins."

"Mr. Chen had previously mentioned to me that he intended these paintings for children in the mountainous areas and orphanages. Yet, this guy stole them secretly and even impersonated Master Qingyun to conduct this exhibition, which is utterly despicable!"

Only then the audience realized the full extent of what had transpired and began condemning Sun Jiancheng.

"Damn swindler! Stealing Master Qingyun’s paintings to gain fame and profit for himself, utterly reprehensible!"

"This swindler’s intelligence is truly touching; how brazenly he held the exhibition, he must really think everyone else is a fool."

...

Some people, overwhelmed with emotion, started throwing water bottles, paintboxes, and the like at Sun Jiancheng and Qin Lan. Some even spit on them.

"Throw these two damn fraudsters out! They don’t deserve to be here!" someone shouted.

Immediately, a group of people came over, lifted Sun Jiancheng and Qin Lan, and threw them outside the City Art Gallery.

Sun Jiancheng sat on the ground, sobbing bitterly.

Qin Lan wiped the spit off her face and stood up.

Sun Jiancheng quickly grabbed her leg, "Qin Lan, you said you would always be with me, right?"

Qin Lan kicked him away, "Get lost, you lying fraudster!"

...

Inside the City Art Gallery.

The crowd surrounded Chen Fan, all with excited expressions on their faces.

"Master Qingyun, could I have your autograph?"

"Master Qingyun, are you selling the painting you just did live? I am willing to pay a lot for it!"

"Master Qingyun, I love you..."

...

Chen Fan was overwhelmed, inexplicably finding himself with the title of Master Qingyun, which was completely unexpected.

He coaxed the crowd to appreciate the artwork rather than him as a person.

It took a lot of effort to deal with these fervent fans.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over to where Su Qingyan and Shen Lingdie were.

"These people are really enthusiastic," Chen Fan said with a smile to the two girls.

The two of them were still in shock at the moment.

Chen Fan had only come with them to attend the Master Qingyun’s art exhibition, but somehow he ended up becoming Master Qingyun himself.

It was absolutely ridiculous!

However, seeing the person she liked being so outstanding, Su Qingyan was very pleased.

She smiled at Chen Fan, "I had no idea you were so good at painting. It’s really a delightful surprise."

Chen Fan scratched his head awkwardly, "If you like, I can paint a few just for you later."

Su Qingyan was visibly delighted, "That would be great, I’m looking forward to Master Qingyun’s masterpieces."

Then she turned her head and looked at Shen Lingdie.

At that moment, Shen Lingdie was sizing up Chen Fan, her expressionless face making it hard to guess what she was thinking.

A sense of dread hit Su Qingyan, "Oh no, she’s not planning to go after Chen Fan again, is she?"

To divert Shen Lingdie’s attention, Su Qingyan hugged her arm with a smile, "Die, didn’t you really want Master Qingyun’s autograph? Later I can get Chen Fan to give you a few signed paintings, how about that?"

Shen Lingdie shook her head, "I don’t want an autograph."

Su Qingyan was taken aback, "Then what do you want?"

Shen Lingdie extended her hand towards Chen Fan, and said seriously, "I want him."

Su Qingyan’s expression changed dramatically, and she let go of Shen Lingdie.

Shen Lingdie turned around, and said solemnly, "Su Qingyan, from today on, I want to compete with you fairly!"
