Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1050 is very damaging, and even more insulting!
"So you admit that you drew me without my consent?"

He Chen checked it and then looked at the police officer: "Officer, please make a note of this!"

The police officer was very familiar with this procedure, and pointed to the body camera, indicating that everything was recorded.

Although Gu Li was a little uneasy, she didn't think there was any major problem. She figured the painting was done, and it was a good deal to exchange it for the painting. So she had Nan Xiang confirm it and urged He Chen to take out the painting as soon as possible.

Their buttocks were still burning with pain, and they were in a hurry to go to the hospital for treatment. They didn't have time to waste with He Chen here.

He Chen walked into the house with a smile and took out his painting: "Here, this is my summer homework. The architecture teacher asked us to draw buildings, and the photography teacher asked us to photograph people. I just finished it all at once."

"Wow, that's amazing!" The police officer had always known that He Chen was very talented, but looking at He Chen's paintings, he was still impressed by the overwhelming technical skill. He then let out a soft "hmm" and his eyes showed a strange look.

"what!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Li sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't walk over to look as usual. Moving even slightly made her injured buttocks hurt even more, so she could only ask the police officer to turn the painting around so they could see it.

"You might have misunderstood, this isn't a drawing of you!" The police officer and the policewoman exchanged a knowing look, then turned He Chen's drawing over for Gu Li and the others to see.

"My God! Who is this?!"

"Is this Gu Li? Why are her arms so strong?"

"Is this Tang Wanru?"

Lin Xiao and the others stared in disbelief at He Chen's words, while Gu Li's face had turned ashen. She was especially shocked when she heard Lin Xiao's surprised murmur describing the queen in the center of the painting as the robust Tang Wanru. She completely lost her composure.

"This is defamation! Yes! This is blatant defamation! He broke the law! He must apologize!!!"

Queen Gu Li lost her composure and started shouting.

The women in the painting are not them at all; they are all heartbreakingly ugly!
But they knew perfectly well that they were being depicted.

At the very least, the ugly people in the painting and their identities are easily matched one by one.

For example, that woman in the red sleeveless top, with that queenly aura in the center, that exquisite outfit and expensive bag... at the very least, she pretends to be exquisite and expensive, clearly a portrait of Gu Li, the queen.

But He Chen maliciously transformed her from a slender and graceful woman into someone as robust as Tang Wanru, and even made her wear a sleeveless red dress, deliberately exposing her thick arms to further intensify the visual impact of her robust appearance.

Damn it!!!
Lin Xiao and the other two gradually recovered from the initial shock of seeing Gu Li, the red-clad queen in the center of He Chen's painting, and turned their attention to the other three people in the painting, starting to look for their corresponding figures.

Then everyone's expression was not much different from Gu Li's.

Without him!

Compared to them, the Gu Li in the painting is the least different from the real Gu Li. At least the Gu Li in the painting has thicker arms and a more robust figure, but she still has some beauty and presence.

It's tacky and has absolutely no sense of style!

But what about the women in the painting?
Tang Wanru looks even uglier and much older!
However, Nan Xiang's artistic temperament with her long flowing hair, as well as Lin Xiao's foxy face and her great figure with her head on her chest, were not reflected at all.

The Nan Xiang in the painting is alright; although her face is a bit chubby, she is still somewhat attractive, just like the muscular version of Gu Li in the painting.

But Lin Xiao in the painting really has neither a pretty face nor a good figure; she is a true example of an ordinary yet confident person.

None of them wanted to admit that the painting depicted them, yet they could clearly tell from certain features that He Chen had painted them, or rather, how He Chen saw them.

That's even more hateful!

It is extremely harmful, and even more so, insulting!
"Don't get excited! Is this really you?" He Chen laughed. "Are these your faces? Are these the clothes you wore that day?"
If none of these apply, then your claims of infringing on your portrait rights and defaming you are utter nonsense!

Gu Li and the others were furious, but they were speechless. Although they knew that the painting depicted them, and in a way that made them look ugly, they had no evidence to prove that it was them.

What surprised and bewildered them even more was that He Chen had been watching them for so long before drawing this?
Furthermore, they had no conflict with He Chen at the time, and He Chen did not know that they would come to steal the painting, let alone arrange for such a painting in advance to deliberately humiliate them.

So, in He Chen's eyes, they are just ugly, deformed bastards?
The thought of this most likely possibility tore at their hearts, filled them with rage, and drove them to the brink of madness.

We all know that how others see us is different from how we see ourselves.

A thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlets!
Even if they are different, the gap shouldn't be this big!
Are their confident and radiant demeanor simply the result of seeing themselves through a filter? Are they actually like the characters in He Chen's paintings?
Thinking of this terrible possibility, they disregarded their injuries to their hips and, enduring the pain, moved one by one to find a mirror to look at their faces.

He Chen watched their panicked state, their heads in sight but their backsides in disarray. He wore a restrained smile on his face, but inside he was laughing hysterically.

That's right!

He did it on purpose!

The previous antics, preventing them from seeing the painting immediately and building their anticipation for it, were all preparations for this moment.

He drew the image of the four sisters from the poorly made TV series version of Tiny Times that he had seen in his previous life.

In his previous life, he found the casting of this TV series version very interesting. Besides the fact that it was cheaper to hire the big-name stars from the movie version, He Chen felt that there might be some hidden meaning.

Directors, as those in the know understand, simply enjoy creating art and hidden meanings, leaving the audience to figure it out themselves; that's how their skill is demonstrated.

He Chen immediately understood.

That is, the TV series director deliberately chose the cast this way, to create a strong contrast with the movie version and to teach the world a lesson.

Each of them sees themselves as stunningly beautiful, but in reality, they may be ordinary yet confident average women, or even ugly beyond belief.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the TV series director could have chosen better-looking actors but chose not to!
No matter how poorly made or how unaffordable it is to hire big-name stars, a TV series with such built-in audience appeal will never lack beautiful women wanting to film it.

It's not impossible to find a suitable one, or even one that's prettier than the movie version, by simply picking randomly.

The entertainment industry is never short of beautiful women.

But why these two ordinary girls, who are so obviously different from each other?

He Chen felt that what he had realized was the truth.

The TV series director is very insightful!
Therefore, He Chen specially used this philosophy he had come to understand to express it through painting.

Looking at the extreme emotional impact of the four Tiny Times sisters, He Chen knows he has succeeded.

What is art?

This is art!
