336 Doubting Her Skills

At the thought that Wang Zhi’s painting might be destroyed in her hands, Elder Zhou’s heart ached and he even wanted to snatch it away.

Since they already knew the ending, there was no need to unveil the painting.

However, seeing Xiang Yin’s slightly gentle expression when he landed on Gu Man, he thought of the purpose of his action and could only turn his head, unable to bear to look at her again.

Forget it. It was normal for there to be sacrifices to obtain benefits.

Before the Manager could send the unveiling tools over, the others could not help but discuss.

“There are so many people here. Can the unveiling of this painting really succeed?”

“Lower your voice. Be careful that you won’t be able to watch the show if you chase us all out later.”

“She doesn’t know anything. Isn’t it just what we say? If I cause trouble and she really listens, won’t these two families blame me?”

“Are you tired of living? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll hear you?”

Although they deliberately lowered their voices, Gu Man had cultivated her five senses so she heard their discussion clearly.

The expression on her face did not change. Only by slapping ignorant people in the face would they believe her.

In the crowd, a small path suddenly opened up. The Manager had returned with the tools to unveil the painting.

Gu Man looked at the unveiling tools that the Manager had brought back. Although they were not complete, they were all ones that were commonly used. She nodded and gestured for the Manager to put them aside.

After the Manager arranged the unveiling tools, he looked at the crowd and frowned.

He knew that the fewer people there were when the painting was unveiled, the better.

“Miss Gu, let me help you chase them away.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard laughter in the crowd. The Manager looked over in confusion and realized that not only were the onlookers watching the show, but even Elder Zhou was smiling.

“Manager, Miss Gu is very capable. There’s no need to chase anyone away.”

Through these few words, the Manager roughly understood what had happened when he was not around. He immediately looked embarrassed.

To think that he really thought that Gu Man knew how to unveil the painting. He did not expect that she did not even know the basics. He looked at the painting on the table and shook his head.

However, all of this had nothing to do with him, a worker. What he had to do was listen to their orders. As for the rest, it had nothing to do with him.

However, he was also quite curious about how Gu Man planned to cover up this lie, so he found an empty area and stood at the side, waiting for Gu Man to do it.

When Gu Man picked up the tools at the side, everyone tacitly quietened down and stared at her hand.

Gu Man skillfully scattered the water on the painting. The painting was instantly drenched, but the ink inside was not dyed. It could be seen that the painter was using excellent ink.

Her expression did not change. She took the rice paper at the side and covered the painting to make it even wetter.

Seeing her do this, the surrounding people could not help but exclaim.

“She’s quite skilled. She really seems to know how to do it.”

“These two steps are nothing. I’m afraid she searched it up at the last minute.”

Although some people were amazed by Gu Man’s skill, most people still did not believe that she could really unveil the painting.

The painting needed to be placed there for a period of time. During this period of time, no one spoke. They stared straight at the painting until Gu Man moved again.

She picked up the tweezers at the side and carefully removed the rice paper covering it. Soon, she could see the soaked original painting.

The indifference in her eyes instantly disappeared. Her expression was especially serious, and her sleeves had long been rolled up to her wrists.

She bent down slightly and leaned closer to the painting. Her entire aura changed. She raised her wrist gently, her movements exceptionally skilled, as if she had repeated it countless times.

Although she was leaning over, she looked exceptionally elegant. She did not look vulgar or indecent. Instead, she looked pleasing to the eye.

Usually, when they saw others unveiling their paintings, they could not help but hold their breaths, afraid that their breathing would disturb them.

However, when they saw Gu Man unveiling the painting, they did not feel this way at all. They felt that they were not looking at someone unveiling the painting, but admiring her talent.
