âLet me explain, then. The ruby is cut into this shape because the other half is on the cufflinks meant for the male wearer. When the two halves are put together, they represent a red bean. Red beans are a symbol of love!â
Jason trembled. âW-Whatâ¦â
âWhat else do you want to say?â Qiao Xi sneered.
âYou claim to be the original creator, but you have no idea that thereâs another design draft. You canât explain the concept of the design either. If youâre the original creator, why didnât you realize that many parts of the design are incomplete?â
Each and every word was like a huge rock weighing a thousand kilograms smashing into Jasonâs heart. His face was pale, and he could not speak for a long time.
The designers below the stage who had originally come to denounce Qiao Xi were all dumbstruck. At this point, they could no longer lie through their teeth.
âToriginally thought that the ruby was the designerâs unique artistic choice. I didnât expect it to be part of a couple design. But now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that this set of jewelry is even more perfect.â
âThatâs right. The set of jewelry Qiao Xi made looked perfect, but I kept feeling that there was something missing. It wasnât until after the other design draft was revealed that I realized that the other half of the design was missing. When I put the two together and look at it, everything makes sense now.â
âEven if the plagiarist could copy the design, they wouldnât be able to copy the essence of it. He even has the nerve to accuse the original creator, Qiao Xi!â
Jasonâs face flushed red and white, his expression growing menacing.
âNo! Itâs not like that! I didnât plagiarize! Sheâs framing me!â
The one who was originally accused of plagiarism was Qiao Xi. Now, she had become the victim, and the situation had an unprecedented reversal.
Jasonâs face was full of fear. âYou faked the evidence! I didnât create any couple designs at all. The ruby is just a unique artistic choice I made! You made up a random excuse to slander me!â
He continued to argue, but everyone just sneered at him.
âshut up! Do you think weâre all idiots? The time stamp on the video clearly states that Qiao Xi completed the design draft four years ago!â
âJason, you plagiarizing dog! Youâre not fit to be Yun Chuâs disciple at all! Four years ago, Qiao Xi was still a child who hadnât fully grown up. Yet you had the nerve to steal her design draft?â
âYou still have the cheek to hold a press conference and want Qiao Xi to take the blame?! How shameless!â
Hearing everyoneâs curses, Jason trembled slightly as his body shook uncontrollably.
He knew that no one would believe him no matter what he said.
Yao Mengqingâs face darkened. She bit her lip and said apologetically, âXi Xi, Iâve wronged you. I didnât know that Jason copied your work. Iâm really sorry. I hope you can forgive me.â
Qiao Xi glanced at her indifferently.
Yao Mengqing was as heartless as ever!
She pretended to feel guilty. âI⦠I really didnât expect Jason to plagiarize. After all, heâs Yun Chuâs disciple⦠I believed everything he said, butâ¦â
âSo Miss Yao was deceived!â Qiao Xi said meaningfully, âSince itâs like that, then I have some things I want to confirm.â
As she looked at Qiao Xiâs icy-cold gaze, Yao Menggingâs heart jerked. She hurriedly admitted her mistake. âXi Xi, Iâm sorry. Iâll apologize to you!â
âMiss Yao, Iâm reporting you for plagiarism too!â
Boom!!!
The moment that was said, the entire venue erupted!
âWhat? Qiao Xi actually said that Yao Menggingâs work was copied as well!
It was fine if Jason plagiarized, but Yao Mengqing was a designer with her own brand. How could she have plagiarized?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The veins on Yao Menggingâs forehead popped out as she roared, âXi Xi, how could you slander me?! I didnât know that Jason plagiarized your work and Iâve apologized to you. What else do you want from me? Even if you hate me, you canât accuse me of plagiarism!â
Everyone was stunned. How did Yao Mengqing suddenly become a plagiarist as well? Whose work did Yao Mengqing copy? Could it be Qiao Xiâs?
Yao Mengqingâs face was pale. She forced herself to calm down. âXi Xi, Jason copied your work. If you say that I plagiarized too, then tell me whose work I copied! Did I copy yours too? I know you donât like me, but you canât accuse me like this!â
