"What do you mean?" Tina asked.
"You should know perfectly well." Chiang Xiao took the knife and fork to cut the meat, signaling Liu Guoying to eat more, while glancing at Tina, saying, "You wouldnât think I wonât spill the beans, would you?"
"And that one," Chiang Xiao looked at Wilson again, "Be careful, if you fall while walking, donât cry and run home to mommy."
This remark was meant directly for him, and will surely make him trip once.
Wilson understood her words, and squinted his eyes, "Are you threatening me?"
"If you forgot what youâve done, I suppose you wouldnât recognize this kind of threat."
Wilson laughed in anger.
"Ha, ha! How ridiculous, I didnât expect the competition this time to include a completely uncultivated and malicious girl, surely this would lower the competitionâs standards?"
"I think we should vote to have Miss Chiang withdraw." Sjöström also said coldly.
"Iâm casting my vote first, Miss Chiang should go back and study for a few more years before coming out again, spare your countryâs dignity." Luna slammed her hand on the table.
Wilson also placed his hand on the table, "I vote too."
After they spoke, they simultaneously looked at the other two painters.
The two painters exchanged glances, hesitating, but Chiang Xiao already chuckled.
"With Mr. Wen Li not here, do you think this vote would be effective? Do you think I acknowledge it?" She pointed at Wilson, then at Luna, and said, "Letâs not discuss our country now, are you two representing the face of Country Y? Arrogant and rude, aggressive, self-righteous, abusing power, a thief crying âstop thiefâ, how impressive."
"We disdain to compete with someone like you..."
"Do you think Iâm willing to compete with you?" Chiang Xiao sneered, "I donât want to either, so you can choose to voluntarily withdraw, otherwise, please follow the rules, donât think you can rely on numbers."
"Thatâs the rule," Tina said, "Competitors can indeed vote..."
"So you can vote as you please? Whoâs presiding? What role are you playing in this competition?" Chiang Xiao shot back with a series of questions, "Can you represent Mr. Wen Li?"
"I am Mr. Wen Liâs..."
"Niece, right?" Chiang Xiao sneered, "So what? You guys can vote for fun now, but I will wait for Mr. Wen Li to come back and ask him personally. Besides, I originally thought the competition would be interesting and felt honored, but now I realize it would be better not to come because you few disgust me."
"Letâs go, letâs go, why keep arguing with them?" Liu Guoying couldnât help it anymore, although he couldnât understand what they were saying, he could feel whatâs going on.
Werenât they all just bullying Chiang Xiao?
He pulled Chiang Xiao up, "This is not your character! Why say so much?"
Chiang Xiao had no choice but to stand up with him.
"Wasnât I being considerate of the host?"
"Is the host that impressive?" Liu Guoying glared at her, leading her out of the restaurant. "At worst, we wonât compete."
Why suffer such indignation?
Following him out, Chiang Xiao helplessly laughed, "Teacher, why is your temper bigger than mine?"
"It seems youâve become a coward since going abroad!" Liu Guoying snorted, "Youâre at the age to be rash, why think so much like an old man? If you donât like it, just split!"
