The others present also recognized Yun Yumeng.
Many people were surprised by her appearance.
However, they soon felt that it was very normal.
Ruan Xiaoxiao was now a rising star in the art world, and Yun Yumeng was the president of the Ink Painting Association. Wasn’t it normal for her to attend Ruan Xiaoxiao’s art exhibition?
Everyone looked at Ruan Xiaoxiao with envy.
She was so young but already had so much talent. Her future was limitless.
“Xiaoxiao, congratulations on successfully holding your first art exhibition. This is for you.” Sheng Qian looked at her deeply before handing her the bouquet.
Ruan Xiaoxiao accepted the flowers with a smile and thanked him politely.
Her gaze then landed on Yun Yumeng.
“Teacher Yun, I really didn’t expect you to come.”
“Little Qian said that he wanted to visit your art exhibition. I had nothing to do, so I came along.” As Yun Yumeng spoke, her gaze swept across the paintings hanging on the wall.
Her eyes darkened.
Why did she find Ruan Xiaoxiao’s paintings a little familiar?
“It must have been a long drive for you guys. Why don’t you come with me to the rest area to rest for a while? We can view the artwork later.” Ruan Xiaoxiao did not notice Yun Yumeng’s strained expression and continued to smile.
Sheng Qian and Yun Yumeng nodded.
The two of them sat down on the sofa in the rest area with Ruan Xiaoxiao. She then got someone to bring them hot coffee.
“Miss Ruan, I have a question for you,” Yun Yumeng suddenly said after some small talk.
“What question? Please go ahead.” Ruan Xiaoxiao had an impeccable smile on her face.
“I want to know why the artwork today looks similar to the previous art exhibition held by AN?” Yun Yumeng was a straightforward person. She gave Ruan Xiaoxiao a sharp look as she asked bluntly.
Sheng Qian had just taken a sip of coffee, and he nearly spat it out because of Yun Yumeng’s frankness.
The smile on Ruan Xiaoxiao’s lips stiffened, and she panicked for a moment.
However, she soon regained her composure.
“So you managed to tell. That’s right. This art exhibition is a homage to AN.” Ruan Xiaoxiao smiled calmly. “AN is my idol. I’ve always loved her work.”
“Really? What a coincidence. AN is my idol, too.” Yun Yumeng smiled.
“AN is really very talented. I like her work very much. But she hasn’t held an art exhibition for a long time.” Ruan Xiaoxiao pretended to sigh regretfully. “I know that the style of this art exhibition is a little similar to that of AN, but I don’t mean anything else by that. I just wanted to pay homage to her. If anyone asks me this question, I will answer them truthfully. I want more people to see how talented AN is.”
Yun Yumeng originally suspected Ruan Xiaoxiao’s motives, but after hearing her words, she just fell into silence.
AN would only hold an art exhibition if she felt like it.
It had been a long time since she last held one.
Many people had heard of AN before, but few had actually seen her talented work.
Could it be that Ruan Xiaoxiao was really doing this just to pay homage to AN and let more people see her style?
In the art world, it was one’s creativity and style that were on display, not one’s artistic foundation.
Back then, Yun Yumeng had been very impressed by the creativity and beauty of AN’s drawings.
