After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 111 - The person who has been guided by a master!
Chapter 111 -111 The person who has been guided by a master!
Lu Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows in confusion. She had clearly attended the Luna art exhibition too, so why hadn’t she heard of such an incident?
All the big shots went?
She hadn’t seen any big shots though.
But after some thought, she was just Luna’s sole superfan and didn’t pay attention to the art world, so how could she possibly know the other big shots?
When she saw the photo Xu Zhenzhen handed her, her eyes almost popped out.
She might not recognize the big shots, but the painting they were all admiring was very familiar to her.

Because that was her own work!
And those people who were called big shots were just a few of her mother’s friends.
Lu Zhaozhao stared at the photo for a while, clearly seeing that each person had their name tagged on their back.
Theresa, Chris, Wendian…
In short, not a single familiar face.
“Erm… is it possible that these big shots were mistaken for someone else?” Lu Zhaozhao asked Xu Zhenzhen again, still not quite sure.
To her, many foreign handsome men and beauties looked alike, could they have been mistaken?
Xu Zhenzhen curled her lip, “I don’t think they’d be mistaken. Many of them are big shots from the international art world, on a similar level to Luna. Oh, and the judge for this competition is that blonde beauty Theresa.”
“Theresa?” Lu Zhaozhao murmured the name to herself.
This was the real deal now because her mother did call the blonde beauty Theresa by that name.
Lu Zhaozhao pondered for a moment before asking again, “Is this Theresa really impressive?”
As a judge invited by Yuqing University, she should be quite capable, but Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know the extent of her actual skills.
“I heard that Theresa has won many international painting awards, and look…” Xu Zhenzhen was saying while showing Lu Zhaozhao information on her phone.
Just a moment ago, Lu Zhaozhao was still hoping it was just a coincidence of names, but after seeing the award-laden Theresa, she had to admit, her mother’s friends were indeed big shots!
And there wasn’t just one of them.
Then… how did her mother become friends with these big shots?
Could it be that they knew each other since childhood?
While Lu Zhaozhao was still pondering, she heard Xia Wenjin suddenly say loudly, “I had the honor of meeting Teacher Theresa several years ago, and seeing her again now still feels so warm and familiar.”
Her voice was loud, making it hard for others to ignore, as if she meant for Lu Zhaozhao and the others to hear it.
Xu Zhenzhen obviously rolled her eyes, “Tsk tsk, some people, they really know how to latch onto any trend.”
Lu Zhaozhao forced a smile but said nothing.
Because at this moment, her mind was full of doubts!
If Teresa was indeed a friend of her mother’s, then Xia Wenjin should have seen her often since childhood, right?
Why did it sound from what she had just said that they weren’t actually close?
Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes at Xia Wenjin.
What she saw was the group of people who used to flatter Xia Wenjin starting to chatter excitedly.
“Oh my god, Jin, you’ve actually met a big shot from the world of painting?”
“What kind of fairy-tale fate is this?!”
“True to Jin’s nature, you’re so well-informed.”
Xia Wenjin was flattered by their compliments and waved her hands modestly, “When I was little and first learning to paint, we had Teacher Teresa come to our home. She was somewhat famous back then and taught my family for a while.”
Xia Wenjin’s ‘for a while’ was actually quite an exaggeration. To be exact, it was only a few short days.
However, this didn’t affect the statement she had just made, after all, no one would go asking Teresa exactly how long she taught at her home.
“Jin, why did the goddess Teresa leave then?”
Before Xia Wenjin could answer, others around chimed in to assist, “It must be because she saw Jin’s talent! People with great talent just need enlightenment and that’s enough!”
“Exactly, exactly, that makes sense!”
Standing not far away, Xu Zhenzhen listened to the people around Xia Wenjin trying to outdo each other in praising her and couldn’t help but be amazed.
“I never realized that being a lickspittle these days requires some technical skills.”
Lu Zhaozhao’s little hand rested on Xu Zhenzhen’s shoulder, “You, to some extent, really have a knack for ‘flattery’.”
Xu Zhenzhen tilted her chin downward, immediately revealing a “you get me” smile.
It was unclear whether Xia Wenjin saw the interaction between Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen or heard their conversation.
The derisive comments from Xia Wenjin came immediately from the side, “Some people have been pampered all these years to no effect, without any abilities to speak of, let alone being guided by a great master like Teresa…”
Lu Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows, her gaze shifting to Xia Wenjin, and caught Xia Wenjin’s challenging look.
“Since you’ve been guided by a great master, winning first place should be a piece of cake, right?” Lu Zhaozhao feigned an innocent shrug, “That’s what everyone must be thinking, right?”
“Yeah, what about the person who was mentored by the great master!”
“Then first place should be no problem, and considering Xia Wenjin is Teresa’s disciple too, right?”
“Teresa has taught Xia Wenjin before, so with such a favorable impression, maybe she will be biased towards her!”
…
The discussions rose and fell, instantly diverting everyone’s attention in the room.
Yet Xu Zhenzhen was getting a bit anxious.
She reached out and gently tugged at Lu Zhaozhao’s hand, “Zhaozhao, if that Teresa really knows Xia Wenjin, she won’t actually be biased, will she?”
Lu Zhaozhao patted Xu Zhenzhen’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, painting competitions value skill. If Xia Wenjin is truly talented, she wouldn’t need anyone’s bias.”
Actually, Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know much about Xia Wenjin’s real abilities.
She had indeed seen Xia Wenjin’s paintings, but that was after she entered the entertainment industry.
Her fans might have hyped her up a lot, but her painting always seemed superficial and showy, with little at its core that touched the heart.
So it was mostly her fans hyping her up.
But what about the Xia Wenjin now? Was she the same as in the last life, or had she improved?
After all, she hadn’t yet entered the entertainment industry’s world of fame and fortune, and the different mindset in her artwork was unpredictable.
Hearing Lu Zhaozhao’s words, Xu Zhenzhen still frowned tightly, “Look at how she’s dressed, so flashy and confident as if she’s certain to win first place. Then look at you…”
She abruptly stopped talking there.
Xu Zhenzhen had been too focused on gossiping with Lu Zhaozhao to notice that her attire and appearance today were quite different from usual.
“You this…” Xu Zhenzhen’s gaze made another round over Lu Zhaozhao’s form, “Is this a change of style?”
