As soon as Qiao Mo spoke, a flurry of comments erupted around her.
"Fake? Is this painting fake?"
"I don't know... I'm not very knowledgeable... Perhaps we should ask Miss Chen."
Many eyes were drawn to Qiao Mo and Chen Shiqing. Chen Shiqing seemingly hadn't anticipated Qiao Mo speaking in such a manner and was momentarily stunned, her gaze returning to the painting for a detailed inspection.
Qiao Mo curled her lips, looking at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Chen Shiqing furrowed her brows slightly and looked at the painting again.
Her friend sneered, "Qiao Mo, I wonder how a know-nothing illegitimate daughter like you dares to show off in front of everyone, as if you know more than anyone else?"
"Exactly... Shi Qing was born into a prestigious family and received the highest quality education, how could a nouveau riche like you compare? Surely Shi Qing's discernment is better than yours?"
