The judge who spoke up earlier was also stunned. He originally thought that this designer was just a small figure who could be manipulated by others. Unexpectedly, she was actually Shen Yuâs younger sister! However, he remembered that this designerâs surname was Qiao. She was probably a distant relative of the Shen family!
Xia Tong, on the other hand, had a calm expression as if she did not care about the other partyâs identity. âShen Yu, itâs naturally right for you to protect your sister, but you canât insist that I plagiarized her just because sheâs your sister!â
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Tong looked at the producer at the side. The two of them looked at each other.
The producer understood what Xia Tong meant. All the evidence pointed to Qiao Xi. Even if Shen Yu was dissatisfied, he could not cause trouble for the production team. After all, he still had to maintain his image.
Moreover, this show was filmed for Xia Tong. Her sugar daddy had invested 50 million just to make her famous. Since their production team had accepted the money, they naturally had to work for others.
At the thought of this, the producer hurriedly went forward and said, âBefore the show started, everyone had to submit their designs on time. Logically speaking, Miss Xia Tong and the masked designer have submitted their designs. Since neither of them are admitting that they plagiarized, why donât they show their designs? Itâll be obvious then.â
At this moment, the director was in the middle and did not dare to offend anyone. He could only send someone to get the design. In order to ensure fairness, the director even sent a videographer to accompany them. Everyone at the recording venue would observe the scene in real time through the big screen. Everyone could clearly see the staff member quickly getting a folder with the design. Under the gazes of so many people, he did not have time to change it at all.
After the designs were brought over, Xia Tong even tried to persuade her. âMiss Qiao, you came from a good family and are young and beautiful. Why ruin your future on impulse? Iâll give you a chance. As long as you apologize now, I wonât pursue this matter anymore. I wonât let anyone at the scene spread the news either.â
âItâs good to know oneâs mistake. Youâre still young, so you canât keep thinking about plagiarism. Youâre wilful now, but youâll definitely regret what you did today in the future.â
Qiao Xi did not want to pay attention to her at all. She turned to the staff member and said, âOpen it!â
Seeing that Qiao Xi was so arrogant, Xia Tong was angered to the point of having a ferocious expression. If she was arrogant now, what would she say when the design was exposed?!
The folder was opened. There were a total of six people participating in the competition, but there were only five designs inside. The others had all taken their own designs, so there was only one left. Xia Tong and Qiao Xi were not in a rush to take it.
âWhy is there only one design left?â
âOne of them must not have handed in the design! Letâs see whose design it is!â
The director got the staff member to open the design. Xia Tong smiled proudly. Her name was definitely on it.
Qiao Xi chuckled. The Xia familyâs IQ was not too high. They thought that they were invincible just because they were a little smart, but they forgot that if they did too many bad things, they would expose themselves sooner or later.
At this moment, the staff member opened the design and announced loudly, âThe name signed off is Miss Xia Tong!â
With that, he showed the design to the camera to ensure that everyone could see it clearly.
Xia Tong was overjoyed, but she did not show it. Instead, she sighed helplessly. âMiss Qiao, I already said that I could forgive you, but you still wanted to make things worse. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because youâre Shen Yuâs younger sister?
âThe facts have proven that Iâm the owner of this work. Now, you have to apologize to everyone present. It was your willfulness that caused the show to be suspended and everyoneâs precious time to be wasted. You have to be responsible for this!â
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes, and the corners of her mouth carried a trace of an imperceptible smile. âMiss Xia, you and I know very well who stole whose design. Iâll also give you a chance. I hope you can take the initiative to admit your mistake.â
Xia Tongâs expression turned cold as she retorted in exasperation, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?! You were the one who copied my work and stole my design, yet youâre still biting back. Since youâre so stubborn, Iâll see you in court!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xia Tong looked aggrieved and sounded like she was about to cry. âThe work I painstakingly designed was plagiarized, and Iâm being wronged. The truth is right in front of us, but youâre still unwilling to admit your mistake. Donât you think youâve gone too far?â
Qiao Xiâs eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed past her eyes. âIt is quite excessive.â
