Half an hour later.
Mi Nuo hurried over in her car. She found a parking lot and had just parked her car when someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside. Mi Nuo looked up and saw Li Yufeng standing before her. âNuonuo, what are you doing here? Weâve agreed that we would stay calm during this period of time. How could you rush over?â
Mi Nuo smiled as she replied, âSheâs already said all that, how could I not come over?!â
âNuonuo!â Li Yufeng shouted harshly. âWhat if this is a trap that theyâve set?! Youâre plunging in headfirst without any preparation. Are you stupid?â
âStupid? No. What kind of trap could they plant before so many reporters? Back then, the proof about the plagiarism was irrefutable. She couldnât have made a case for herself. If I donât appear before the reporters, this matter will pass just like that. Wonât all the hard work Iâve put in previously be for naught then?â
Li Yufeng stared at her. She didnât know what to say.
Mi Nuo smirked. âBack then, she had dropped her own book onto the ground and I picked it up. Who can she blame? That âMementoâ was meant to be mine!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMementoâ was the name of the work that she had used to enter the design competition all those years ago.
After Li Yufeng heard this, although she felt that there was no danger of anything going wrong, she felt a little guilty. She sighed deeply. âCome with me. Let this matter pass. We donât have any reputation to maintain anyway. Itâs better to avoid trouble whenever possible. We need to proceed cautiously now.â
Mi Nuo shook her hand off. âWhat âproceed cautiouslyâ? I want everything! Theyâve made me leave the Imperial Group in shame. I want everyone in the world to know that theyâve done wrong!!â
After she said this, she furrowed her brow and took a step back. âDonât stop me. If you do, I wonât acknowledge you as my mother!â
After she said this, she turned and strode off toward the Imperial Group.
Li Yufeng watched her retreating figure as her heart pounded wildly. It took a moment for it to return to normal.
In the conference room...
Zhuang Nainai was holding her phone and looking up news about this reportersâ conference.
Weibo was live-streaming everything that was happening here. There were even videos being uploaded.
There were many comments below the Weibo message. Everyone was discussing if Mi Nuo would show up.
âMi Nuo will definitely come, she has to! Face them off, and make sure that they wonât look down on you!â
âWhy would she come? How could a poor girl like her stand a chance against the entire Imperial Group?â
âDonât you all think that thereâs something fishy about this matter? How could Mrs. Si sound so righteous about it otherwise?â
âYou idiots. How can Mrs. Si sound so righteous? Because sheâs got connections and is loaded!â
âIâll just silently watch and not say anything.â
âIâve taken off my pants. Iâm waiting for the climax.â
âHurry, hurry, hurry! Get to the point!â
All these comments displayed differing opinions on the matter. But without any exception, all of them were awaiting Mi Nuoâs arrival.
But would she be up for a confrontation?
Zhuang Nainai thought, and her eyes narrowed.
Back then, she had brought her own design draft to the venue to enter the Starlight Design Competition. She had run over to hand in her work. But she had suddenly gotten news about her mother going missing. She had been so shocked that she had dropped the draft and ran.
Afterward, she couldnât find the original draft no matter how she tried. She had thus drawn another drawing and submitted that instead.
But she had never realized that the circle of people in the industry was so small. She had never expected Mi Nuo to be the person who had picked up her draft all those years ago.
Perhaps this was also a form of destiny?
