As the students were talking, it seemed that some people intentionally looked in Jiang Li's direction and sneered.

Jiang Man hesitated in her heart.

​​

She only had a few of Jiang Li's paintings left.

If she handed them in at this time...

However, amid the heckling, she had no choice but to restrain her expression. During the class break, she took out a painting of Jiang Li and submitted it.

"This is the painting that I have been drawing for the past few days. Please take a look at it, teacher."

The teacher praised the painting a few times before putting it away. "Don't worry, you will definitely win the prize!"

Jiang Man smiled shyly and lowered her eyes. However, there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Hu Miao took advantage of the class ending time and walked to Jiang Li shyly.

She picked a bunch of paintings that she thought were good and handed them to Jiang Li. "Senior Sister, I, I also want to participate in the competition... Which painting do you think is better?"

Jiang Li's gaze slowly landed on those paintings.

The paintings were all very clever and also very skillful.

Finally, she reached out and clicked on a picture of a person. "This one is not bad."

This picture was of a woman under the moon. The hazy moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the woman's gauze-like dress. The woman's back was graceful, and under the rendering of the scenery, she looked even more beautiful.

"It has the emotions that you lack in the other pictures."

When Hu Miao heard Jiang Li's words, she smiled embarrassedly. "This is my... Mother in my dream."

Jiang Li suddenly understood. No wonder.

The people beside her sighed when they saw Jiang Li really helped Hu Miao choose a picture.

"I advise you not to put in so much effort. Jiang Man has already participated in the competition, and you still want to get a place?"

"Don't say that. Maybe she just wants an encouragement award to make up for the lack of an award! However, the first place will definitely belong to us, Jiang Man. What are the two of them?"

"They don't understand these things and are still here to join in the fun. Jiang Man, this time, show them how powerful you are!"

Jiang Man listened to their words and pretended to be modest. "Don't say that. Rookies can be very powerful too."

These words caused the others to mock Hu Miao even more.

Jiang man was actually not confident, but she remembered that the painting in her hand was painted by Jiang Li. No matter what, she couldn't lose to her disciple!

Thus, she said, "Thank you for your support. I will work hard and try not to disappoint you."

With Jiang Man's guarantee, the crowd cheered even more happily.

Jiang Li did not give them any expression.

It was the weekend.

It was the day that Fu Jiuxiao and Jiang Li went to the mall together.

Before the two of them left, Fu Jiuxiao handed Jiang Li a black card.

"This card is for you."

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows but did not accept it. "Our engagement is purely for profit. We can't let you pay for the dress."

If she wanted something, she would get it herself. There was no need to rely on others.

Fu Jiuxiao calmly took back his card and did not say much to Jiang Li.

After they parted ways, Jiang Li went directly to Qiu Huang's clothing store.

Qiu Huang was a national-style clothing brand created by Jiang Li in her early years. It mainly focused on formal occasions.

However, although Jiang Li was the behind-the-scenes owner of Qiu Huang and she designed clothes under the pseudonym Qing Xin. The offline shop owner had only communicated with Jiang Li online. The shop owner had never seen her before.

Jiang Li slowly walked forward. However, when she saw the price of the dress she designed, she was still shocked.

"The price is so expensive. Isn't it a little high?"

The salesperson immediately came forward when she saw her luxurious bearing. However, when she heard her words, she had a mocking expression on her face.

"How is it expensive?! This is something designed by the famous designer 'Qing Xin'! If you can't afford it, just say so. After all, all the gowns are at this price!"

Coincidentally, Jiang Man was also here to pick out gowns. She entered the door and smiled gently. At this time, she did not pretend to be innocent.

"It seems that sister has been very poor recently? If sister can not afford it, kneel down and beg me. Maybe I will be willing to give you a dress."
