Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The group of news media that entered not only had traditional paper media, but also various video live-stream websites.
To the media, their sense of smell was quite sharp. Everyone captured the strange atmosphere between Li Qingxue and Xia Wanyuan and got into position. Click, click, click. A few photos had already been posted.
While they were still in a standoff in the museum, the social media platform was already bustling.
After all, in England, the interview program Xia Wanyuan had partic.i.p.ated in last night was currently being broadcasted. Those stunning performances were left in everyone’s minds.
The England Museum was also a world-renowned museum. Any movement could attract everyone’s attention.
All the media reporters in the world were probably the same when it came to creating gimmick t.i.tles. When the reporters entered, nothing had happened, but the t.i.tles released by the media were already…
“Chinese celebrity Xia Wanyuan and the beautiful diplomat from England, Li Qingxue, had an intense argument at the England Museum.”
“An ancient painting that the England Museum showed to the public two months ago. Xia Wanyuan claimed that she drew it.”
“Xia Wanyuan said that her painting and calligraphy works are in England’s museum.”
[… She’s too arrogant. Where did she get the courage to say that her works are in England’s museum?]
[ As far as I know, the collection in England’s museum belongs to the dead. Is Xia Wanyuan cursing herself? ]
When the news came out, the most excited people were not the foreign netizens, but the many people in Country Han.
There had always been rumors in the Han Country’s industry that the things in England’s National Museum were created by painters from the Han Country.
It was an extremely honorable thing for the Han people to have one of their ancestors’ painters’ works placed in the England Museum.
And now, Xia Wanyuan’s words had clearly shattered these people’s fantasies.
[ I’m speechless simida. Xia Wanyuan is indeed from a country of thieves. She wants to steal everything from us. ]
[Can China not steal from our Han Country one day?? Isn’t it disgusting? I hate the Chinese the most. They only know how to steal from our country every day.]
[Hehe, other than stealing our clothes, our pickles, and now, China wants to steal our national treasure, calligraphy and painting? The England Museum has already stamped and verified that this is our Han Country’s painting!!!]
On the foreign network, because of this matter, many netizens of Country Han even began to flood the Internet, pus.h.i.+ng the topic of “Thief Country China” onto the popular rankings.
The Internet was in an uproar. At this moment, in England’s museum, Xia Wanyuan stood under the camera, neither servile nor overbearing.
Li Qingxue looked at Xia Wanyuan mockingly. “Mrs. Jun, you have to have evidence when you speak. Our museum has a large number of historical experts. Do you think your empty words can compare to these world-cla.s.s big shots?”
Xia Wanyuan still had a very calm att.i.tude. Since she was certain that it was her painting, she would not take a step back.
With Li Qingxue’s arrogant att.i.tude, it was impossible for her not to have the approval of England’s museum and officials.
Since the other party had such an att.i.tude, she would not be afraid of trouble if she did not cause trouble.
“Then I can repeat that this painting is mine.”
“Okay.” The smile on Li Qingxue’s face widened. “Mrs. Jun, you’re really firm. Since you insist, why don’t we invite the expert group to confront you and see if our England Museum got the wrong collection or if you’re too confident, Mrs. Jun.”
“I’m happy to oblige.” Xia Wanyuan did not back down.
As Li Qingxue spoke, she asked the staff to look for the expert group.
Soon, the staff returned and whispered a few words into Li Qingxue’s ear. Li Qingxue nodded and looked at Xia Wanyuan.
“There’s not enough time today. Furthermore, because the collection is precious, the painting and calligraphy are kept by many parties. They have to go through a certain process to be unsealed and inspected. How about this? We’ll wait here tomorrow afternoon. When the time comes, we’ll let everyone see who this painting belongs to.”
“No problem.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
At this moment, the media reporters were about to smash the shutter.
They had thought that it would be a routine report. Who would have thought that such a huge piece of news would be exposed? Xia Wanyuan questioned the England Museum.
Behind this could be said to be a compet.i.tion between China and England. It was just that it was displayed in the form of painting and calligraphy. Everyone was excited.
At this point, no one expected that they would not be able to continue visiting. No one was in the mood to continue visiting, so today’s schedule ended.
It was nearly half a day earlier than the original time.
The reporters surrounded Xia Wanyuan and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff happily and kept asking questions.
Although everyone’s expressions were very solemn, they still surrounded Xia Wanyuan and brought her into the car.
When they got into the car, the atmosphere in the car was very quiet. It was completely different from the cheerful atmosphere in the past.
It was really because Xia Wanyuan’s subsequent actions caught everyone off guard.
They had thought that it was just a verbal argument and that it would be fine if they counterattacked.
Unexpectedly, in the end, there was actually a fight with the England Museum.
Everyone could imagine that this battle would definitely attract the attention of the world.
Everyone present was well-educated. Although they were not professional in painting and calligraphy, they still had the ability to appreciate it.
That ancient painting was majestic and exuded a very distant ancient aura. It really did not look like a modern product.
Even the Deputy Head, who had always supported Xia Wanyuan, was feeling uneasy.
If this matter was blown up, it would rise to a very high level.
After all, they were the ones who had accompanied Xia Wanyuan on this visit. If the matter blew up, the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs would have to take the blame.
Xia Wanyuan noticed everyone’s expressions and looked at the Deputy Head. “Don’t worry, since I dare to say this, I know my limits.”
Xia Wanyuan had such a magical power. Even though what she said and did had already exceeded everyone’s understanding, everyone could not help but trust her.
The Deputy Head looked straight into Xia Wanyuan’s clear eyes.
After a while, he patted the chair beside him.
“I’ll go all out today. I believe you. At most, I’ll resign. I’ve been unhappy with those arrogant people from England for a long time. Go ahead and compete. We’ll help you with the public opinion in the country.”
With the Deputy Head speaking, the others supported Xia Wanyuan.
“Yes, go. We believe in your ability.”
“Although I don’t know painting and calligraphy, I believe in your character.”
Everyone was talking in the car. Before they could walk out of the second ring, the news of Xia Wanyuan questioning the England Museum and wanting to confront the entire museum.
it had already spread throughout the world.
