Chapter 219: Art Exhibition Opens: Xiao Family’s Glory Completes

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Shen Ting, I'm worried..." Before she could finish her words, Shen Ting held her hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His steady voice seemed to have magic, which gradually calmed Xiao Yue's panicked heart.

Shen Ting immediately arranged to strengthen security, deployed security personnel at all entrances, and increased patrol density in the exhibition hall.

He retrieved the surveillance video of the exhibition hall and contacted Officer Wang, requesting police assistance.

As the opening of the art exhibition draws near, guests are arriving one after another.

With elegant clothes and clinking glasses, everything seems so bright and beautiful.

Xiao Yueqiang cheered himself up and greeted every guest with a professional smile on his face.

But her inner uneasiness did not diminish at all. The threat from Zhou's competitor was like a time bomb, keeping her on edge all the time.

However, the expected accident did not happen.

The art exhibition went exceptionally smoothly, all exhibits were neatly arranged, and the venue looked brand new.

Soft lighting shines on each piece of art, bringing out their beauty to the fullest.

The guests were full of praise for the works on display. Xiao Yue looked at it all and felt a sense of accomplishment.

This is her carefully planned art exhibition and also her chance to prove her abilities.

Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand and walked around the art exhibition.

Xiao Yue could feel the warmth and strength of Shen Ting's palm, and her face was filled with happiness.

She knew that no matter what happened, Shen Ting would be by her side, protecting her and supporting her.

"You are the protagonist tonight." Shen Ting looked down at Xiao Yue and said gently.

Just then, a man in a suit and tie hurriedly walked up to Shen Ting and whispered something in his ear.

Shen Ting's expression changed slightly. He patted Xiao Yue's hand and said, "I'm going to take care of something and will be back soon."

Looking at Shen Ting's departing back, Xiao Yue felt a little uneasy.

She always felt that something was going to happen...

"Ms. Xiao, congratulations, this exhibition is a great success!" Artist Zhang walked up to Xiao Yue with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Artist Zhang raised his chin arrogantly, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

His works were indeed stunning and became the focus of the entire exhibition.

Xiao Yue graciously accepted praise from all sides and responded elegantly to every guest's question.

The name of Xiao Enterprise shines brightly tonight, and its cultural image has been unprecedentedly enhanced.

In the distance, Zhou's rival's face turned pale.

Officer Wang's investigation was like a thorn in his side, making him anxious and exhausted.

His carefully planned conspiracy was about to succeed, but was completely destroyed by a sudden change.

He glared at Xiao Yue fiercely, his eyes filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yue noticed his gaze and responded with a contemptuous smile.

The feeling of victory made her feel extremely happy.

Just then, a commotion broke the silence of the exhibition hall.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, and someone shouted: "Catch the thief! He stole the artist's work!" Venue manager Chen's face turned pale and he frantically directed the security personnel to maintain order.

Thief Li rushed left and right in the crowd, trying to escape from the scene.

He held the priceless work of art tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with greed and fear.

Shen Ting's figure appeared in the center of the chaos. His eyes were sharp and he quickly locked onto the position of Li the thief.

Just as the thief Li was about to escape, Shen Ting rushed forward and grabbed his wrist.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am?" Thief Li struggled in fear, with a hint of threat in his tone.

Shen Ting sneered and twisted his hand hard. The thief Li screamed and the artwork in his hand fell to the ground.

"I don't care who you are." Shen Ting's voice was cold and emotionless. "If you steal something, you have to pay the price."

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene before them.

Xiao Yue's heart was in her throat. She wanted to move forward, but was gently held back by a hand.

"Don't worry." A deep voice sounded in her ear, "Everything is under my control."

Xiao Yue turned around and saw Artist Zhang standing beside her with a meaningful smile on his face...

"Miss Xiao," he said slowly, "I think there are still many things to discuss between us."

The noisy exhibition hall was thrown into chaos for a while due to the sudden theft, but with the arrest of the thief Li, order was gradually restored.

Officer Wang took the thief Li away and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out the mastermind behind it.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the spotlight focused on Xiao Yue again.

At this time, a highly respected senior executive of Xiao Enterprise walked up to the booth. He cleared his throat and announced in a loud voice: "Today, I would like to specially commend a young person who has made great contributions in the preparation of this art exhibition - Miss Xiao Yue!" As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause resounded throughout the exhibition hall.

Xiao Yue was a little flattered. She didn't expect to receive such high praise.

The senior executive continued, "Ms. Xiao Yue's talent and hard work are obvious to everyone. She not only successfully organized this grand art exhibition, but more importantly, she demonstrated the vitality and innovative spirit of the younger generation of Xiao Enterprise!" The senior executive announced a generous reward for Xiao Yue and presented her with a trophy symbolizing honor on the spot.

The flash lights kept flashing, Xiao Yue held the trophy in her hands with a happy smile on her face.

She knew that at this moment, she not only won honor for herself, but also won the future for Xiao's Enterprise.

The applause gradually died down and the music started again.

At this time, Shen Ting walked slowly to Xiao Yue with a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand.

He looked at Xiao Yue affectionately, knelt on one knee, took out an exquisite diamond ring box from his suit pocket, opened it, and a dazzling diamond sparkled under the light.

"Xiao Yue," his voice was low and magnetic, "marry me."

The whole audience was in an uproar. This was the third time Shen Ting proposed to Xiao Yue.

The first two times, Xiao Yue refused for various reasons.

This time, with everyone present and in such a romantic atmosphere, Xiao Yue could no longer suppress her inner feelings.

With tears in her eyes, she nodded gently, "I do."

Cheers, applause and blessings intertwined and resounded throughout the exhibition hall.

Shen Ting stood up, put the diamond ring on Xiao Yue's ring finger, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

Happy moments are always short-lived. Just when everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, a waiter walked up to Xiao Yue and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Family elders... want to see me?" Xiao Yue's expression changed slightly.
