Chapter 603 - 242 Tragic Mingzhu_2
Mingzhu was extremely surprised, "There’s such a saying?"
Mr. Yu Shan mocked coldly, "I remember your brother isn’t bad, so how come your family raised you to be a waste? You can’t even grind ink, what else can you do? You’re just a pampered young lady who waits for everything to be handed to her."
Mingzhu was angered; this was the first time someone had called her useless. Just as she was about to retort Mr. Yu Shan, Yueyao firmly held her down.
Yueyao, tugging at Mingzhu’s arm, said, "This is my mentor, you must not be rude." Mr. Yu Shan didn’t care about Mingzhu’s status and wouldn’t hesitate to scold her if she angered him.
Mr. Yu Shan wasn’t blind, of course, he also saw Luo Mingzhu’s anger. He sneered, "Unsatisfied? You can’t even grind ink, so what else can you do? Don’t tell me you’re skilled at everything. If so, choose any one of the guqin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs and let me appreciate your talent." Mr. Yu Shan had heard about Mingzhu’s reputation in the Capital City. He wondered how Yueyao could know such a useless girl and be on such good terms with her. Incomprehensible!
Luo Mingzhu’s face suddenly turned red, not sure if from anger or shame.
Fearing that Mingzhu would get angry, Yueyao hurriedly informed her of Mr. Yu Shan’s identity, hoping Mingzhu would show some restraint.
Mingzhu was stunned; Bai Yi hadn’t told her about Yueyao studying with Mr. Yu Shan, so she was very surprised, "He is Mr. Yu Shan? The number one painter in the world, Mr. Yu Shan? You’re not lying to me?" Mingzhu’s dislike for studying didn’t mean she was unaware of famous figures.
Yueyao chuckled, "Why would I lie to you? I came to the mountain to study with Mr. Yu Shan," she said, and then glanced at Mr. Yu Shan.
Mr. Yu Shan didn’t have a good impression of Mingzhu and said, "You should send her away! I have to start painting now; we’ve already wasted a half-hour."
