Seeing more and more people gathering around and sizing her up with various looks, Li Mingzhu angrily said, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Su Nanxing replied, "Weren't you the one who started talking to me? You said I didn't understand, that I was pretending to be cultured. So, you must be very knowledgeable, why don't you enlighten everyone?"
The spectators nearby weren't all connoisseurs of painting.
Sometimes, attending an art exhibition is just about pretending to be cultured and using it as a topic of conversation.
It's a symbol of status, and some people use it as a means to expand their networks.
Li Mingzhu had just mocked Su Nanxing for pretending to understand and even pointed out her major in mechanics, which surely provoked the crowd.
Though people didn't say much, their looks towards Li Mingzhu were not so friendly.
After all, not everyone who comes to an art exhibition specializes in painting.
There are plenty of science students around.
