It was not until this moment that Mu Ziyue, who was outside the crowd, finally came to her senses.
"Brother, is Lu Xue the LU you mentioned? But it doesn't seem right. Lu Xue looks so kind and approachable. She doesn't seem to be that mysterious and great artist at all!"
Mu Ziyue thought for a while and then realized that the homophone of "LU" was exactly Lu Xue's surname. It actually matched quite well!
After the initial shock, the crowd quickly accepted this fact.
Apart from Mr. Ada, many senior people stepped forward to show their support, and the order at the scene was quickly restored.
Some foreign journalists took a lot of photos in a row. When they put down their cameras, their faces still showed a bit of shock.
They had always thought that Lu Xue had gone traveling in some other country. They had no idea that while everyone was speculating about her whereabouts, she had already returned to her home country so low - key.
What was even more unexpected was that LU turned out to be an Asian female artist, which was completely different from the male image they had imagined before.
When they actually saw Lu Xue today, everyone felt a strong sense of contrast.
Ding Muyun's previous assertive remarks had instead become a ridiculous joke, and it served as a perfect prelude for the host to directly introduce Lu Xue's real identity.
Ding Muyun's face was as pale as paper. She stood in the crowd, constantly shaking her head in disbelief.
It couldn't be true. How could everything suddenly turn out like this!
She had originally wanted to give Lu Xue a fatal blow at this event, but unexpectedly, she had instead helped Lu Xue gain more attention from the media and reporters.
She staggered out of the crowd. At this moment, Mu Ziyue walked over. She looked at Ding Muyun coldly and then suddenly slapped her across the face.
Ding Muyun was hit and her head was turned to the side. Her hair was in a mess, covering her face.
She came to her senses and glared at Mu Ziyue angrily, shouting, "How dare you hit me!"
Mu Ziyue sneered, "How dare I? Just because of your vicious heart, I should have broken off our friendship with you long ago! I even felt a bit of guilt towards you before. Now I just find it disgusting!"
Ding Muyun trembled with anger, her finger pointing at Mu Ziyue, but she couldn't say a word.
It took her a long time to say, "Lu Xue can't be that LU! You must have been deceived by her. She must have used some means to deceive all of you!"
Mu Ziyue found it boring and sneered, "I advise you to wake up now! I've already told you that Lu Xue is different from what we imagined!"
Ding Muyun saw Mu Yuze standing not far away through the crowd. Mu Yuze's eyes were cold, even with a hint of pity, as if he was looking at a clown.
Ding Muyun couldn't stand it any longer. She covered her face and ran out of the venue. Then she started crying loudly in a deserted place.
After this farce ended, the order at the scene was restored, and the art exhibition was a great success.
After the art exhibition, the media headlines were full of related news for nearly half a month.
It even made it onto the hot - search list on Weibo several times. Lu Xue, who was once a niche figure abroad, suddenly became a well - known and popular painter in her home country and caught the attention of some mainstream media.
As Lu Xue's popularity increased, so did her value. Many big companies extended an olive branch to her.
When Mu Yuze passed by Lu Xue's studio, he saw Han Xiaolv had also come and was holding a thick stack of materials.
He pretended to just pass by her room casually, but when he reached the wall, he stopped, turned sideways, and listened to the conversation inside through the wall.
Han Xiaolv was inside, trying to persuade Lu Xue, "Look, so many big companies want to cooperate with us. We are now the hotshots in the circle. At this time, we should choose some big groups with strong capital. That's the right way."
Han Xiaolv droned on about the list for nearly half an hour. Lu Xue was getting a headache and said, "I think it's quite good like this now..."
Han Xiaolv immediately said, "Although Mr. Mu Yuze's team is also quite good, now that we've seen a bigger world, I think we can appropriately change our cooperation partners. Maybe we can reach a higher level!"
Just as Han Xiaolv was seriously persuading Lu Xue, Mu Yuze suddenly appeared at the door without warning.
He was holding a tray with two cups of hot milk on it. Aunt Chen had stuffed it into Mu Yuze's hands downstairs and asked him to bring it up for the two girls.
Han Xiaolv took a look and immediately said excitedly, "There's hot milk! Great! I'm really craving some now! Thank you, Aunt Chen!"
Mu Yuze just walked over to Lu Xue calmly, gave one cup to her, and then, right in front of Han Xiaolv's eyes, he picked up the other cup, took a sip, and then casually put the tray on the table as if no one else was around.
Han Xiaolv was stunned. She never expected that none of the two cups was for her.
She stared at Lu Xue with wide eyes, then at Mu Yuze. Suddenly, she felt a great deal of pressure.
She stood up, puffed out her cheeks, and left angrily.
