"Huo Hangfan, your entanglement can end here." Xu Yuanmo's words were loud and clear, attracting the attention of passers-by. Some people whispered, marveling at the decisiveness and momentum of this man who stood up; others were full of surprise, speculating about the entanglement and grievances between this man and woman.

"Xu Yuanmo, why are you interfering in my affairs?" Huo Hangfan's face turned pale, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Xu Yuanmo's appearance.

"If I say I'm her husband, will you be more self-aware?" Xu Yuanmo spoke clearly word by word, causing an uproar around them. People started talking about it, some envied Chu Xixi for finding such a powerful guardian, while others were shocked by this sudden marriage.

Chu Xixi was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Yuanmo to announce their relationship at this time, but she did not refute. Instead, a strong determination surged in her heart. Since she had chosen this path, she should face everything bravely.

Huo Hangfan sneered, "Even if you are her husband, you can't stop me from exposing her true face in the design industry. Plagiarism is plagiarism, and the truth will always come out."

Xu Yuanmo responded calmly, "The truth will be determined by the public. But before that, I hope you can respect the legal process instead of making trouble here."

Chu Xi hoped to thank Xu Yuanmo, with gratitude in her eyes. She said softly: "Thank you, Xu Yuanmo. But I have my own way to prove my innocence."

At this time, an old man in elegant clothes walked out of the crowd. He was the respected design master in the industry, Mr. Su. He looked at Chu Xixi, his eyes full of expectations and encouragement for the younger generation of designers. He said, "I believe in Xixi's talent and character. The plagiarism issue will definitely have a fair outcome."

Chu Xixi held the design draft tightly in her hand, and her fighting spirit ignited in her heart. She knew that she was not only doing this for herself, but also for those who believed in and supported her.

"Xixi, no matter where or when, I will always be with you." Xu Yuanmo patted the back of her hand gently, giving silent support.

Chu Xixi raised her head and gave a firm look back, "Let's go and face it."

As Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo left side by side, people in the hotel lobby were still talking about it, while Huo Hangfan stood there gritting his teeth, unwilling but helpless.

"It seems that this circle is going to become lively again." A passerby sighed.

"That Chu Xixi is really a tough character. She has courage and a strong backing." Another passerby said enviously.

Just as Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo were about to leave, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the hotel. It was Lin Qiming, Chu Xixi's former mentor and Huo Hangfan's ally. He looked around and finally landed his gaze on Chu Xixi, with a hint of mixed emotions in his tone: "Xixi, are you really determined to do this?"

Chu Xixi didn't look back, but just held Xu Yuanmo's hand tightly and replied calmly: "Teacher Qiming, I know you care about me, but there is only one truth, and I must clear my name."

Lin Qiming frowned slightly and looked at Xu Yuanmo, questioning: "Mr. Xu, is your intervention too biased? Plagiarism is a taboo in the design industry. If it is not handled fairly, it will affect the atmosphere of the entire industry."

Xu Yuanmo smiled faintly, and his words were full of calmness: "Teacher Lin, my support for Chu Xixi is not out of favoritism, but based on my trust in her character and ability. If there is so-called evidence of plagiarism, please bring it out and let us judge together. Otherwise, any groundless accusations will only become malicious attacks."

The crowd was once again stirred by this conversation. Some people agreed with Xu Yuanmo's point of view, believing that evidence should be presented before making a conclusion; others supported Lin Qiming, believing that maintaining industry rules was the most important thing.

At this moment, Mr. Su stepped forward again. He patted Chu Xixi on the shoulder and said in a loud voice: "No matter what the result is, Xixi, remember that you are always my proudest student. Justice in the design industry depends not only on the law, but also on the conscience and perseverance of every designer."

Chu Xixi bowed deeply and promised Su Lao and all those who were paying attention to this matter: "I will speak with facts and prove my innocence with my works."

Afterwards, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo walked out of the hotel hand in hand, leaving behind countless onlookers' discussions and speculations. Huo Hangfan stood there, his face uncertain, as if he was weighing his next move.

"They are such a lovely couple that people both envy and hate," a young designer exclaimed.

"Yeah, seeing how determined they are, I feel Chu Xixi can definitely turn the tables." Another passerby echoed.

However, how will this storm end, can the suspicion of plagiarism be cleared up, and how will the relationship between Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo develop? Everything is still unknown, and only time will give the answer.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, there was a sudden commotion in the square outside the hotel. A black luxury car slowly stopped by the roadside, the door opened, and a man in a high-end custom-made suit and with extraordinary demeanor got out of the car. It was none other than the industry giant and the key figure in this plagiarism storm - Huo Hangfan.

His appearance instantly caused a commotion in the crowd, and some people whispered, "Boss Huo is here in person, it seems this matter is very serious."

Huo Hangfan's sharp eyes swept through the crowd, finally fixed on Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo. The corners of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile: "Ms. Chu, Mr. Xu, you are really courageous. However, the so-called truth is sometimes not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Chu Xixi straightened her back and responded fearlessly: "Boss Huo, no matter how complicated the truth is, I believe it will always surface. If you have any so-called evidence, you might as well take it out now and let everyone judge it together."

Huo Hangfan's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He sneered, "Since you insist, I am happy to accompany you. Three days later, I will hold an open review meeting at the 'Creative Hall'. Please bring your works and we will present them together for the public to judge."

Xu Yuanmo patted the back of Chu Xixi's hand, giving her silent support, then turned to Huo Hangfan and said, "Mr. Huo, we accept your proposal. In three days, we will go there with the truth."

The onlookers were shocked when they heard this. Some expressed their increased confidence in Chu Xixi, while others were extremely worried, and some even began to speculate on the outcome of this review meeting.

"It's going to be interesting now. Chu Xixi actually dares to challenge Huo Hangfan head-on. She is truly a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of a tiger!" A middle-aged designer exclaimed with emotion.

"Who knows, maybe this is her chance to make a comeback?" said another young designer expectantly.

At this moment, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo left side by side, looking particularly resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun, their eyes full of fearlessness and determination. Huo Hangfan stared at their backs, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.

Everything is just as Mr. Su said. Justice in the design world lies not only in the law, but also in the inner perseverance and belief of each designer. The answer to this contest between truth and justice will be revealed in the "Creative Hall" three days later... The next day, this news quickly swept the entire design world like wildfire. Whether it is industry veterans or fledgling newcomers, or even ordinary people who are concerned about this matter, they are all looking forward to this upcoming showdown. Everyone gathered in cafes, studios or streets, enthusiastically discussing the "design storm" between Huo Hangfan, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo.

"I heard that Huo Hangfan has solid evidence in his hands. I wonder what evidence Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo can come up with to fight back." A student from the School of Design said to his companions nervously.

"Hey, don't forget Chu Xixi's talent. Her design amazed the whole audience. Even international big-name designers praised it. I guess she must have made some preparations." Another girl's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Huo Hangfan is no pushover. He must have something extraordinary to be able to hold on to his position as a giant in the industry. The outcome of this competition is really unpredictable." A middle-aged designer pondered, and the people around him nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo were busy preparing in the studio. Facing the mountains of design drawings and materials, the two divided the work and worked together to sort out every detail that might be questioned. Chu Xixi flipped through the manuscripts and said firmly: "Xu Yuanmo, we can't be careless at all. We must use facts to prove our innocence."

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, his eyes full of trust and support: "Xixi, I believe our efforts will not be in vain, and the truth will always defeat lies."

Three days passed in a flash. The "Creative Hall" was already crowded with people, the spotlights were flashing, and reporters from major media were on standby, waiting with bated breath for the decisive public review meeting to begin. When Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo walked into the venue hand in hand, the audience's discussions were one after another, with both expectations for them to uncover the truth and concerns about whether they could withstand Huo Hangfan's offensive.

Huo Hangfan stood on the stage, looking at Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo who walked into the venue, and raised that unfathomable smile on his lips again: "Ms. Chu, Mr. Xu, let's wait and see."

Chu Xixi looked back at Huo Hangfan, her eyes firm and bright: "Mr. Huo, we are also looking forward to it, because the truth will never be absent."

As Chu Xixi finished her words, the entire venue fell into silence, with only countless pairs of eyes focused on the three of them, waiting for this contest of honor and dignity to officially begin...
