Xia Jinxuan always spoke loudly without saying a word. How could Qingli let her succeed? If there wasn't someone behind her, she would have kicked him out.

Considering that everyone was related, Qing Li saved some face for her, so he hit her back with a big backhand.

Xia Jinxuan was stunned.

Ever since she was sensible, no one dared to hit her!

Unexpectedly, Xia Jinxuan almost went crazy because she expected to be slapped by her cousin whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years.

A person who looked like an assistant behind her was also very angry and shouted: "Jiang Qingli, why are you beating people!"

Her voice immediately attracted people who lingered at the door.

Not to be outdone, Qing Li looked at Xia Jinxuan in shock and exclaimed: "Cousin, why do you want to hit me when we meet!"

Because no one saw who hit whom, but Xia Jinxuan's aggressive look on stage was deeply rooted in people's hearts, so many people subconsciously thought that Xia Jinxuan hit Jiang Qingli.

The assistant saw that the situation was not good, and many people showed dissatisfaction, and quickly closed the door of the reception room.

The attempt to conceal the truth almost confirmed Xia Jinxuan's beating.

Xia Jinxuan was so frustrated that she shouted to her assistant, "Get out!"

When there were only two people left in the reception room, Xia Jinxuan looked at Qing Li with a gloomy expression.

Different from the timid and cowardly Jiang Qingli in my impression, who always showed a pleasing demeanor, he grew up and his wings became stronger.

Qing Li also looked at his eldest cousin who used to be domineering and unforgiving in dealing with others.

Her mother only took her back to her parents' home once, and that time she was deeply impressed.

Although Qingli was young, she could feel her mother's uneasiness. Originally, she had no status at home and was used to being disciplined by her father and brother. When she arrived at her grandparents' house, in order to make everyone like her mother, she wanted to please everyone.

When you grow up, you realize that if a person doesn't like you, your efforts to please will only increase the other person's dislike.

After returning from my grandparents' house, my mother had been depressed for several days. Perhaps because she saw her worries, her mother always forced a smile on her face.

She clearly remembered that after returning, Jiang Qingcheng said impatiently: "You know the Xia family is in trouble, so you should be nicer to your father in the future, otherwise you will make him angry, and you and your daughter will not even have a place to live in the future."

At that time, Qing Li didn't understand. He just looked at his mother's dull expression, feeling heartbroken with the despair that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Now that I think about it, Jiang Qingcheng is a son of man in vain.

The mother's despair is not entirely because of her natal family, but also because of her biological son.

Her future is bleak.

Now that she has grown up, Qing Li did not go to the Xia family, but the Xia family got into trouble with her.

"Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to you for my mother's sake, but you showed up at my door." Qing Li sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and looked at Xia Jinxuan with a half-smile.

Xia Jinxuan was extremely surprised, "It's different. It's really different from when you were a child. I still remember that when you were a child, you were pushed into the mud pit by my brother and you didn't dare to say a word. When you came back, you said you did it yourself."

Qing Li smiled, "Why, do you want to confess in front of me the mistakes you made before?"

Seeing that she was not angry, Xia Jinxuan sneered, "Don't you think that marrying into a rich family will mean you will ascend to heaven? Your mother thought so too at the beginning, but what happened?"

Qing Li raised his eyebrows, "You are in your thirties and you still haven't learned basic etiquette? Is this how your father taught you?"

"You!" Xia Jinxuan saw that not only was she completely different from when she was a child, but her sharp tongue was even harder to talk to her about.

Xia Jinxuan remembered that there were more important things, so she calmed down and said, "I didn't expect that our meeting would be so unpleasant. You are too angry. I didn't want to make a quarrel with you."

Qing Li didn't even bother to argue with her. She was so angry?

Who is the one who wants to give her a blow when she first appears, who steps on her to raise his own status? Who is the one who criticizes other disciples as worthless and then thinks highly of himself and teaches her not to mislead others? Give her a slap!

Just like the assistant, she seemed unable to see her boss's behavior. When he came up, he accused her of beating someone, but she didn't bother to argue.

This kind of people are selectively blind, and they won't wake up even if you tell them, so why waste your words.

"Xiao Qingli, let's not get into such a tense situation, okay? My surname is Xia, and your mother's... aunt's surname is also Xia. I can't write the word 'Xia' twice in one stroke, so why make it look like an enemy."

Qing Li looked at her, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

"I came to the capital this time. Firstly, I want to develop in the capital. Although Jinping City is a municipality directly under the central government, it is not as good as a huge city like Beijing. Secondly, I don't want to be separated from you. We should be in the capital. Only those who are closest to each other and help each other can go a long way.”

After a few words, Qing Li probably understood what she meant, and he became even more amused.

He heard the news and knew that she had certain connections in the capital, so he came here specifically to help her develop.

It was obvious that he wanted something from her, but he immediately showed off his power when they met. His subsequent behavior seemed to be an attempt to suppress her.

At that time, all the resources she had in the capital would belong to her, Xia Jinxuan.

The abacus beads jumped on her face.

It's a pity that she didn't expect that she was no longer the weak and bullied Jiang Qingli who tried her best to please everyone for her mother.

When the plan failed, the emotional card started to play again.

Qing Li shrugged, "I'm only in the capital temporarily, and I don't need help from others."

She spoke the word 'others' very clearly.

Xia Jinxuan understood, and her expression suddenly turned ugly.

"You can't be alone forever in this world. As a relative, you will only sincerely help when something happens, so don't say it so early."

Qing Li knew her purpose and didn't want to continue to entangle with her. He stood up and looked at her.

"Compared to relatives who haven't shown up for more than ten years, close friends are still more reliable. Cousin, don't you think so?"

After saying that, she walked away with a smile on her lips.

Xia Jinxuan's face was very serious, and she looked at the closed door with gloomy eyes.

Uncle Xia called and asked his daughter how the competition went. Is it going well?

Xia Jinxuan knew that her father was asking about whether the meeting with Jiang Qingli went well.

"It didn't go well. Jiang Qingli is no longer as obedient as he was when he was a child. Now he is rebellious."

"Xiaoxuan, did you say something unpleasant?"

"My temper has always been like this. Besides, what I said is all true. How qualified is she to pass on to others? She doesn't even know how much she weighs."

Uncle Xia sighed, "You kid, it's no surprise that Qing Li is happy when you say this. After all, he's an older kid. You should be well over there. Your mother and I will go there in a while. Be obedient and don't talk to Qing Li." Li Qi is in conflict, she is no longer what she used to be, and we may have to count on her if we want to take root in the capital. "

Although Xia Jinxuan was not convinced, she did not refute. She hung up the phone and thought about how to ease the relationship.

The current Jiang Qingli is quite unscrupulous, but if she is asked to take the initiative to show her kindness, she must be good. He cannot praise her unconscionably.

Hehe, she has become more beautiful in recent years, otherwise she would not be able to seduce the boss of the He Group to come forward to her.

Is this an advantage?

This kind of foxy charm is what she despises the most. She uses her face to seduce people everywhere.

Women should rely on their own abilities!

News about the painting finals spread within the circle, but overall it did not affect Xia Jinxuan.

Although Mr. Du, Mrs. Li and others were present, because Xia Jinxuan did not mention Master Yuyan at all, they could not attack and let her escape.

They are the older generation, and it would be inappropriate for them to seek trouble when the situation is unclear. After all, it is hosted by Wen Chaoyuan and it is a national competition.

They don't want to be blamed.

The next day, Mou Chengying found Qing Li and sighed: "Professor Jiang, can you please go and see my little girl? This child has locked herself in the room for a day and a night without food or water."

Qing Li nodded, "I was just about to go."

After going to Zou's house, Mou Chengying knocked on the door but still received no response, "Lan Lan, Professor Jiang is here."

After a while, the door opened, revealing a pair of haggard faces, with eyes as red and swollen as two big walnuts.

Mou Chengying thought Qingli would go in to comfort her, but Qingli said calmly: "I'll give you ten minutes to clean up. I'll wait for you downstairs."

With that said, she pulled Mou Chengying downstairs.

Mou Chengying turned around three times, "Professor Jiang, is this possible?"

"Leave it to me. You can leave first and the aunts should not be in the hall."

Less than ten minutes later, footsteps were heard upstairs. When Mou Chengying saw that her daughter had really come out, she quickly took her bag and walked out.

The footsteps disappeared on the first floor, and Qing Li said without looking back: "Come and sit."

Zou Xiaolan sat on the sofa opposite Qing Li like a frost-beaten eggplant. She had washed her face, but her eyes were still swollen. She seemed to be crying a lot.

She had never suffered this kind of grievance. Although she was at a disadvantage in previous fights with Xue Yunhe, she had never been humiliated in public. Her paintings were reduced to the dirt, which greatly damaged her self-esteem.

"Can't you stand it anymore?" Qingli sipped the tea.

Zou Xiaolan said nothing, her face drooped.

Who can stand this?

"Why are you sad? Because you know very well that the places pointed out by Xia Jinxuan are your problems."

Zou Xiaolan pursed her lips, tears welling up in her swollen eyes again.

The master didn't even try to comfort her, and even came over to prick her.

Master is so annoying!

"You may think that the theme of 'the world' is inconsistent with your age and should not appear in the finals, right? However, this theme can well express the mood of different people in each era. It is not necessarily deep and far-reaching. Yes, it can be all kinds of things in the world, it can be relaxed and lively, even a cat curled up on a chair in a square coffee shop, it can be the world!"

Zou Xiaolan looked at Qing Li blankly.

"I will give you an hour to redraw the world. Can you do it?"

Zou Xiaolan was crying with a sad face. Before she could recover, the master asked her to draw. Is it humane?
