“Let 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!”
Jason trembled. “W-What…”
“What else do you want to say?” Qiao Xi sneered.
“You claim to be the original creator, but you have no idea that there’s another design draft. You can’t explain the concept of the design either. If you’re the original creator, why didn’t you realize that many parts of the design are incomplete?”
Each and every word was like a huge rock weighing a thousand kilograms smashing into Jason’s 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.
“Toriginally thought that the ruby was the designer’s unique artistic choice. I didn’t 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.”
“That’s right. The set of jewelry Qiao Xi made looked perfect, but I kept feeling that there was something missing. It wasn’t 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.”
“Even if the plagiarist could copy the design, they wouldn’t be able to copy the essence of it. He even has the nerve to accuse the original creator, Qiao Xi!”
Jason’s face flushed red and white, his expression growing menacing.
“No! It’s not like that! I didn’t plagiarize! She’s framing me!”
The one who was originally accused of plagiarism was Qiao Xi. Now, she had become the victim, and the situation had an unprecedented reversal.
Jason’s face was full of fear. “You faked the evidence! I didn’t 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!”
He continued to argue, but everyone just sneered at him.
“shut up! Do you think we’re all idiots? The time stamp on the video clearly states that Qiao Xi completed the design draft four years ago!”
“Jason, you plagiarizing dog! You’re not fit to be Yun Chu’s disciple at all! Four years ago, Qiao Xi was still a child who hadn’t fully grown up. Yet you had the nerve to steal her design draft?”
“You still have the cheek to hold a press conference and want Qiao Xi to take the blame?! How shameless!”
Hearing everyone’s curses, Jason trembled slightly as his body shook uncontrollably.
He knew that no one would believe him no matter what he said.
Yao Mengqing’s face darkened. She bit her lip and said apologetically, “Xi Xi, I’ve wronged you. I didn’t know that Jason copied your work. I’m really sorry. I hope you can forgive me.”
Qiao Xi glanced at her indifferently.
Yao Mengqing was as heartless as ever!
She pretended to feel guilty. “I… I really didn’t expect Jason to plagiarize. After all, he’s Yun Chu’s disciple… I believed everything he said, but…”
“So Miss Yao was deceived!” Qiao Xi said meaningfully, “Since it’s like that, then I have some things I want to confirm.”
As she looked at Qiao Xi’s icy-cold gaze, Yao Mengging’s heart jerked. She hurriedly admitted her mistake. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I’ll apologize to you!”
“Miss Yao, I’m reporting you for plagiarism too!”
Boom!!!
The moment that was said, the entire venue erupted!
‘What? Qiao Xi actually said that Yao Mengging’s 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?
The veins on Yao Mengging’s forehead popped out as she roared, “Xi Xi, how could you slander me?! I didn’t know that Jason plagiarized your work and I’ve apologized to you. What else do you want from me? Even if you hate me, you can’t accuse me of plagiarism!”
Everyone was stunned. How did Yao Mengqing suddenly become a plagiarist as well? Whose work did Yao Mengqing copy? Could it be Qiao Xi’s?
Yao Mengqing’s face was pale. She forced herself to calm down. “Xi 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 don’t like me, but you can’t accuse me like this!”
