Chapter 312: Revealing the Truth Behind Gu Xuexue’s Fake Painting

Gu Meifeng and her mother struck first to gain the upper hand.

She aggressively wanted to create an impression that Gu Qiqi was looking for trouble for no reason.

If Gu Qiqi really let them redraw it on the spot, that would seem too vicious!

However, Gu Qiqi didn’t follow their script at all.

A pair of big and beautiful black grape-like eyes sized up Gu Xuexue and finally landed on Gu Xuexue’s arm.

Her red lips parted slightly. “After talking so much, don’t you feel that your mouth is dry and your fingers are itching?”

Upon hearing Gu Qiqi’s words, Gu Xuexue subconsciously scratched her fingers.

It was a little itchy.

She couldn’t help but scratch it again.

It was quite itchy.

No, it was very itchy!

Gu Xuexue couldn’t help but scratch herself in front of everyone.

She used her left hand to scratch her right hand and her right hand to scratch her left. In the end, even her arm started to itch.

Soon, her hands turned red!

Her arm wasn’t spared either.

“Xue Xue, let Mommy see. What happened to you?”

“Mommy, I’m itchy. It still hurts!”

“Why did this happen out of nowhere?! Did you eat something that you shouldn’t have just now? Food allergies?”

Gu Meifeng was anxious and her heart ached.

Her gaze landed on that painting of pearl powder just now.

An ominous premonition surfaced.

Gu Qiqi said lightly, “She didn’t eat something that she shouldn’t have eaten. Instead, she touched something that she shouldn’t have touched. This pearl powder painting is made of natural glue made from sweet potato powder and is fixed on the drawing board. Gu Xuexue touched the sweet potato powder just now.”

Gu Qiqi stopped when the outcome was determined.

He waited calmly for everyone to discover the truth.

Indeed, everyone started discussing.

“Everyone knows that Xuexue will be allergic to sweet potato flour when she comes into contact with it. Every time Meifeng brings her back, she always instructs the kitchen not to cook food made from sweet potato flour.”

“This child is so pitiful. She’s even allergic to sweet potato powder. Sigh… It’s hard for her to stay up all night to prepare a gift for Old Master…”

“Wait a minute! There seems to be something wrong! Since Xuexue can’t touch the sweet potato powder, how can she draw it herself? That pearl powder must be mixed with glue made from sweet potato powder to be fixed on the drawing board!”

“What’s wrong with that? She can use a brush or gloves to draw. It’s fine as long as she’s careful not to touch it.”

“No! Xuexue clearly said herself just now that she drew it directly with her finger.”

“But she touched sweet potato powder and her fingers were swollen. Her hand was covered in goosebumps and she kept scratching it. How could she possibly make such an exquisite painting? Was I blind?”

Everyone fell silent.

As long as one wasn’t a fool, he knew the answer at this moment!

This painting was definitely not done by Gu Xuexue herself.

The truth was that Gu Xuexue had lied.

Immediately, disdain, disappointment, anger, blame… All kinds of gazes focused on Gu Xuexue.

That’s right. She had finally become the center of attention at the birthday banquet.

Unfortunately, it was the most embarrassing scene!

Just now, she had deceived everyone’s trust and praise. How smug she was now that she was being abandoned and despised by everyone!

Old Master Gu snorted coldly and pushed that “fake painting” to the ground. “Qiqi, Xiao Bei, help me to the dining room!”

“Okay, Grandpa.” Gu Qiqi curved her lips and smiled. “Don’t be angry, Grandpa. There are people who are good at counterfeiting, but there are also people who are sincerely making gifts with their own hands. Xiaobei needs to study, and he’s not suitable to stay up late either. So, the things that he made for you are still incomplete. You have to wait for him for two days. He will definitely send them…”

Gu Qiqi exposed Gu Xuexue’s fake painting and casually explained why Xiaobei didn’t send her a gift.

These two reasons were reasonable and humane.

No one would take them seriously.

On the other hand, Gu Xuexue was boasting too much.

At this moment, she couldn’t lie and was left feeling embarrassed!

At 12 noon.

The Gu family finally took a seat in the dining room.

The birthday banquet officially began.

Gu Qiqi couldn’t help but look out the window.

The Gu family’s door was tightly shut.

Where was Gong Jue?

Stupid man. You’re hateful. You didn’t keep your word. What should I punish you with tonight?
