Chapter 179: As Expected, They Dislike Zi Yi

He Yaning pointed at Zi Yi. All of a sudden, she had a burst of courage. “Everyone is saying that in S City, she…”

“Shut up!”

Dou Jingning and Dou Xiaoyong growled.

Dou Xiaoyong said, “Miss He, please leave at once. Otherwise, we will be calling for security.”

He Yaning was afraid. No matter how unwilling she felt, she could only leave with her shoulders drooping.

The moment she left, Dou Jingning and Dou Xiaoyong turned to Zi Yi and their expressions still appeared stern.

Dou Jingning spoke up. “We can’t be bothered about how you have no care for your reputation. However, if you dare to cause trouble using your status as a member of the Dou Family in the capital, we won’t let you off.”

Dou Xiaoyong added, “Since you’re in the capital, pay attention to your speech and actions. Restrain your previous attitude and also, you’re not to appear before grandfather.”

After they said their piece, they turned to leave.

Based on Dou Jingning and Dou Xiaoyong’s attitude towards Zi Yi earlier, those who were standing in the vicinity who had intentions to cause trouble had immediately cast the thought aside.

Looking at her two uncles walking over to help Dou Xiangling with welcoming the guests, her eyes flickered as she thought,?“As expected, they dislike Zi Yi.”

Despite disliking Zi Yi, the reason why they had been so protective of her earlier was that they could not tolerate others speaking badly about their family member. It was not because they suddenly had a new impression of Zi Yi. Instead, it was because they could not allow others to badmouth one of their own.

Zi Yi could understand their actions. After all, what the previous owner did was really too much. Also, she could not rush to have them forgive her.

Zi Yi stood there without moving with an indifferent expression on her face. The four seniors were unable to discern her thoughts.

Instead, Senior Bai had a plan in mind. If he were to show his stance right now, Yiyi would definitely be touched.

“Little friend, I believe in you… Why don’t you acknowledge me as your teacher? If anyone dares to trouble you again in the future, I’ll be your backing!”

Zi Yi looked at him and all of a sudden, she found him rather cute.

However…

“I honestly have no spare time to learn painting.”

“Why does that matter anyway? You can complete a painting first and I’ll take a look. If your basics are good, you can casually learn it.”

Senior Bai felt that he would not misjudge a person. The little girl before him definitely had a strong foundation in painting.

Under Senior Bai’s expectant gaze, she nodded in the end.

Senior Bai was elated.

“There’s no time like the present. Since your uncles aren’t fond of you, let’s not stay here anymore. Come to my house and complete a painting. I’ll draw up a plan for you afterward and I guarantee you’ll still have time for other things.”

The three elderlies standing aside felt somewhat unwilling.

“Old Man Bai, this isn’t proper. Today is Miss Dou’s exhibition and if you leave halfway, it’s impolite to her.”

“Even if you wish to get this little friend to paint, you should wait until Miss Dou’s exhibition ends and then go together!”

“That’s right.”

Most importantly, they wanted to tag along and check out Zi Yi’s skills.

Zi Yi could not possibly leave right now either. “Seniors, you’re right. I have to wait until my cousin’s exhibition ends before leaving.”

“Alright then, alright then.” Even though Senior Bai was anxious, he could not possibly force Zi Yi to leave right now.

The five of them agreed to head to Old Man Bai’s house after the exhibition and so, they went on separate ways to appreciate the paintings.

There were many visitors who came to Dou Xiangling’s exhibition. Apart from people in the circle, there were also visitors from the business circles and some journalists.

After all, Dou Xiangling had a reputation, and coupled with the reputation of the Dou family, there were many who were willing to support her. As a result, the Dou Family could not possibly reject them outside.

At 11 a.m, the auction officially started.

As expected, all the paintings set aside for the auction had fetched high prices.
