Xia Wanyuan had wanted to bring both paintings back.

However, at this moment, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had been standing at the side without speaking, suddenly gave Xia Wanyuan a look.

Xia Wanyuan understood what he meant and retreated slightly to the side, giving up her seat.

The deputy minister walked forward and extended his hand to Li Qingxue. “Hello, I’m the deputy minister of foreign affairs of China.”

“Hello.” Li Qingxue did not understand.?I only wanted a painting. Why did this Deputy Head jump out now?

“If we’re willing to leave one of Xia Wanyuan’s paintings here, that can be considered a cultural exchange between China and the West, right?” The deputy head looked very kind. When he spoke, he was smiling, making people not guard against him.

Li Qingxue nodded. “Yes.”

“Then we’ll take out one of Xia Wanyuan’s paintings as an exchange. I wonder what the British Museum is willing to take out for our Forbidden City’s museum to safeguard?”

Li Qingxue wanted to scold the Deputy Head for being shameless.?This was no different from snatching things openly.

However, at this moment, the Deputy Head represented China. Now that she was standing here, she represented England.

Now, she had to carefully consider everything she said.

Just as Li Qingxue was hesitating about what to say, the Deputy Head continued to circle around her.

“Look, it’s like this…”

The Deputy Head began with the relationship between China and England, then talked about how England had taken many things from China back then, and the need for cultural exchange between the two sides.

During this period, every time the Deputy Head spoke, he would ask Li Qingxue, “Don’t you think so??”

Li Qingxue would nod. “Yes.”

In the end, the Deputy Head went around in circles, and Li Qingxue’s thoughts were a little confused.

“Since our China has something here, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to give us one and let us take it back to study our ancestor’s things, right?”

Li Qingxue subconsciously replied, “Yes.”

However, she quickly reacted.

However, under such circumstances, no matter what they said, it was the final decision. How could it be changed?

Li Qingxue’s back broke out in cold sweat.

What did I just say?!

The Deputy Head smiled. “England is indeed a big country. They’re really magnanimous. We’re not picky. What do you think you’re willing to give us to bring back?”

Li Qingxue could not even maintain the smile on her face. She looked at the deputy head and finally knew what a smiling tiger was. “We still have to discuss this with the museum before deciding.”

“Okay.” The deputy head was still smiling. “There’s no hurry. We’ll leave England tomorrow. Just discuss it before that.”

“…” Li Qingxue smiled insincerely.?You make it sound like you’re magnanimous.?

The deputy minister did not care what the England Museum would give them back, mainly because the England Museum was basically displaying treasures that England had snatched from China back then.

There were too many precious things in China. Those that could be brought back to England were the best of the best.

Every item in this museum from China was a national treasure. Any one of them would be profitable.

Li Qingxue’s back was already drenched in cold sweat.

At this moment, she could not spare any thoughts to pester Xia Wanyuan and the rest, so the atmosphere in the venue was a little awkward.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan stood up. “We’ve seen this exhibition hall. Let’s go to the side and take a look? Professor Charles, I heard that you’re very familiar with the exhibition hall beside us. Can you bring me to take a look?”

“With pleasure.”

Under Xia Wanyuan’s invitation, most of the experts followed her.

Xia Wanyuan was knowledgeable in studying and dabbled in all aspects. Although she knew a lot, she was still very humble in areas she did not understand. The experts were happy to chat with her.

Li Qingxue stood behind and watched them leave.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was no longer ostracized by everyone like a few hours ago. On the contrary, she had become the focus of everyone. Everyone surrounded her, fighting to speak to her.

How did things become like this??

Li Qingxue’s eyes were filled with hatred. Just as she was puzzled,

Suddenly, she thought of something. Her eyes widened and her expression changed. “Oh no!!”

Li Qingxue hurriedly called the live-stream control room. After explaining the situation, she heard the answer on the other end and muttered, “It’s over.”

The media in England had always liked to bring private goods when reporting about China, such as the most famous CBB television station.

The various reports of this television station on China were called underworld reports by the Chinese netizens.

Any China that appeared in its scene, no matter how glamorous it was, would be filmed until they were dizzy. Furthermore, the angle of filming would be chosen as if these people were very oppressive.

CBB TV Station was even better at adding all sorts of gray filters. Even the blue sky with the bright sun and white clouds in China would be adjusted to a dim yellow state.

It was precisely because they knew CBB’s internal attitude towards China and their contrasting methods that the museum had specially invited CBB TV for this live broadcast.

According to the initial requirements,

CBB TV was in charge of broadcasting. If it involved something beneficial to England’s image, they would show it on the screen for a while more. If it involved something beneficial to China’s image, they would directly eliminate it.

Furthermore, this television station was editing the video and posting it online.

The latest post that caused widespread controversy was a video about the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of China.

In the video, the Deputy Head arrogantly asked the England Museum for something. Li Qingxue looked pitiful under his contrast.

[F*ck, is this old man crazy? How can he bully a girl like this? Is he poisonous?]

[Do you have any shame?? Did China fail to steal the painting and change it to daylight robbery? They even asked the England Museum to give them a painting. They’re really shameless.]

[ Can I ask what the final outcome is? The live-stream is so jammed that I can’t see it at all. Until now, there’s still no confirmation. Is that painting Xia Wanyuan’s??? ]

Now, the official media of England was silent about what had happened in the museum.

In the current information world, there was a deviation in information acquisition.

As long as the media did not send some news to the netizens, the netizens would slowly forget about this matter in most cases.

Now, the British Museum hoped to deal with this matter coldly.

Anyway, it was just a live broadcast. When everyone woke up and had more interesting topics, who would pay attention to the final outcome of this painting?

However, there was a group of people who did not want to be dealt with coldly.

That was the netizens of Country Han.

In their opinion, Xia Wanyuan was rich, so she used money to shut the media up and stop them from reporting this matter.

They angrily wanted justice from England’s museum.

[ @ England Museum, come out and give an explanation. Why can’t I watch the live-stream? Now, you don’t even announce the results. Have you been bribed by Xia Wanyuan?! Is China’s money so good? ]

[I’m speechless. The Chinese are already so arrogant in the England Museum, but the England Museum is still so protective of them and even helped them hide the truth. Is that painting from our Country Han?]

[If the museum doesn’t clear our Han painter’s name for a day, I won’t leave the comments section of your official account for a day. Wait for me to scold you to death!!]

At first, only a small number of netizens from Country Han were scolding. However, as time passed, the England Museum did not respond.

In the end, a large number of Country Han netizens rose up. Countless people lined up to make harassment calls to the England Museum.

According to their habit of scolding people online in the past, they even photoshopped photos of the curator of England’s museum and all sorts of photos of him kneeling to the Chinese.

When the news spread to England’s museum, the curator was also angry.

He slammed the table. “Since they want the truth, give them the truth!! Send the complete video to me!!”

The reason why the curator could make up his mind to give this order was because the actions of the netizens of Country Han were too infuriating.

On the other hand, he had just received a letter from the Cape family. As the head of the Cape family, An Lin stomped his feet, and Continent O would tremble. He said that he wanted to give Xia Wanyuan face, and the museum had to consider the weight of his words.

Hence, when the netizens of Country Han started all sorts of topics and asked the museum to apologize, the official account of the museum suddenly updated a video.

“Thank you very much, Miss Xia Wanyuan, for bringing us an exciting painting performance. Our museum is also very happy to accept Miss Xia’s work.”

In the video, it was the complete process of Xia Wanyuan painting “Mountains and Rivers”.

At the back of the video was a comparison explanation between Xia Wanyuan’s painting and the painting in the museum.

Even an idiot in painting and calligraphy could discover that the two were actually the same under those high microscopes.

The Chinese netizens, who had been silently enduring the insults of the Han people, finally felt proud. For a moment, they appeared from all sorts of corners.

[Come, come, come. Where’s the person who just said that he wanted the England Museum to give you Han people an explanation? Step forward and take two steps. You’re the shameless ones, right? You stole our clothes and lamps, but it’s not enough. Now, you’re still thinking about our ancient painting.]

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Is this the legendary asking for a hammer?!! Han Country people, scold me a little more. Maybe something more surprising will be released.]

[ Aiyaya, why am I so happy to see the Han people unlucky? It’s fine as long as Xia Wanyuan is awesome. Her painting skills simply amazed me, a professional painter. When can I have her hand speed! ]

The netizens of Country Han who had been indignant on the Internet just now had disappeared without a trace.

However, this situation did not last long because they had found another point to attack Xia Wanyuan.

“Didn’t the British Museum buy fake paintings because your China likes to fake them? What’s there to be smug about? What’s the use of painting no matter how good it is? Master Danny has such a bad character. As a top master in the industry, how can Xia Wanyuan speak to him like this?”

The video of Xia Wanyuan saying that Master Danny was an accomplice to the thief began to circulate on the Internet.

Master Danny’s status in the world of painting was quite high. Furthermore, he had the Danny family behind him. All his friends were big shots, and his disciples were all over the world.

Seeing that their good friend and teacher had been pointed at and scolded, many people stood up to support Master Danny.

However, this time, before everyone could start scolding Xia Wanyuan,

Xia Wanyuan had already released a complete chain of evidence with her account.

The evidence chain included the painting that Xia Wanyuan had drawn back then, the confession of the witness in charge of changing the painting, and some originally destroyed videos.

It told everyone clearly.

Back then, Li Na could win the Gold Award and become Master Danny’s disciple purely because she had found someone to swap her and Xia Wanyuan’s painting.

And Xia Wanyuan should be the real winner of the Gold Award.

Not only did Master Danny tacitly agree to Li Na’s fake actions, but he even chose to protect her after knowing the truth.

Looking at the detailed evidence, everyone was silent. No one had expected Master Danny to really do such a thing.

[ I think Xia Wanyuan is still to blame for this matter. If she was really outstanding, how could Master Danny not want her? Perhaps Master Danny knew that her character was not good, so he deliberately took advantage of the situation and was unwilling to accept her. ]

[ The person in front, is your mouth used to shit?? The crime theory of the victim is really disgusting. Xia Wanyuan is the person whose painting was stolen. Don’t you know how much Li Na benefited from the gold award of that painting competition? ]

[I’m so speechless. So such a powerful master is actually nothing much. He actually allowed his disciples to steal other people’s works. Tsk, tsk, tsk.]

The Internet was filled with controversy, but the museum was harmonious.

In the exchange, Xia Wanyuan had really conquered many experts. Everyone was happy to make friends with her.

When Xia Wanyuan left the museum with the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she was surrounded by a group of people.

“Wanyuan, contact us more in the future.”

“If you have the chance to come to England next time, I’ll bring you to try the wine I mentioned.”
