The discussion in the audience was particularly noisy.

Yan Xinyue also looked at the picture on the screen with disbelief. Compared to everyone's curiosity, Xia Muxin just felt a chill all over his body.

Just as he was about to speak up to explain, he noticed the signature on the certified design draft - Zi Yan!

Feeling the suspicion from the people around her, she looked at Yan Xinyue with anger in her eyes, but she couldn't speak. Before she could recover, she heard the intimidating question from the boss.

"May I ask Miss Xia if you can explain to me why your work is exactly the same as Master Zi Yan's design that took three years?"

Without giving the woman a chance to explain herself, all her entries were displayed.

"Or Miss Xia, can you explain to us why the styles of your works are so different? Did you go through any setbacks? Or were the designs for the preliminary round not made by you at all?"

Xia Mu was speechless when asked, and her panic was obvious. She stepped back uncontrollably and subconsciously looked for help from the people around her, but all she got was contempt and disgust.

There was no way to refute it, but Lan Ke had no intention of letting her go at this time. He spoke again to draw everyone's attention back to the electronic screen;

"Perhaps you could explain to me why your preliminary entry is so similar in style to Miss Yan's?"

This time, the design drawing by Yan Xinyue was replaced on the screen to be compared with that work. Both the line drawing direction and design style were very similar to it, and everyone understood the meaning of this action.

"Plagiarism!"

"Xia Muxin plagiarized!"

“Get the plagiarists out of the design circle!”

The whispers just now suddenly turned into angry emotions, with curses coming one after another, and the situation suddenly became out of control.

Xia Muxin tried hard to find a place to hide, but the contestants who were around her just now had already moved away from her, not wanting to have anything to do with it at all. Only Song Xiao was still watching this sudden accident not far away, while Lin Zijia in the audience had long disappeared.

"No, it's not me. Song Xiao gave me the design!"

In a panic, Xia Muxin snatched the microphone from Lan Ke's hand and finally screamed and yelled amid the insults of the crowd.

"It's her, it's all her! It has nothing to do with me!"

Song Xiao looked at the scene in front of him with a look of surprise, but he still compromised under Xia Muxin's warning eyes;

"Yes, it's me! I did it all and it has nothing to do with Xia Muxin?"

This inexplicable taking of the blame was still unexpected by everyone. Lan Ke didn't know the details, but just followed the little girl's instructions and made Xia Muxin's little actions public today.

"You heard it, it was Song Xiao who did it! It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me!"

Although he still had many doubts, Lan Ke was not affected by this accident. He remained calm and asked in a cold voice;

"Then why is your signature on the design?"

"I do not know I do not know!"

After repeated questioning, Xia Muxin finally broke down, slumped to the ground, and muttered weakly while shaking his head.

Looking at everything happening in front of her, Meng Qingyan found it very ridiculous. Not wanting to watch the boring excuses of several people any longer, she lowered her head and fiddled with her phone. Then she heard the entire conference hall being enveloped by a conversation between the two of them.

"Ms. Xia, this is the design drawing in Yan Xinyue's computer. It should be the work for the finals."

"Well, well done. It seems you are not completely useless!"

Then, the big screen on the stage flashed a picture of the two of them in the hotel corridor. Although the two were very careful, the USB flash drive in Song Xiao's hand was deliberately enlarged.

Ignoring the horror of the people on the stage, the rest of the contestants were led off the stage by security, leaving only three parties involved.

Yan Xinyue's eyes were always looking towards Meng Qingyan's position. She knew that all this must have been possible with the help of the little girl. The feeling of being protected made her eyes misty.

Due to the current situation, she said nothing, but just smiled slightly and showed her full joy to the little girl. Meng Qingyan did not dodge, but smiled and showed her a look of praise.

Before everyone could recover from all this, a person Yan Xinyue was very familiar with was brought onto the stage.

"Boss Yan, I'm sorry. I stole the design drawings in your computer after I received the 500,000 yuan from Miss Xia."

The frank attitude really shocked Yan Xinyue. The woman in front of her was an old employee of the studio. Her mother had just finished a kidney transplant surgery some time ago. As the boss, she was considerate enough to give the girl a one-month paid vacation.

But what she got was betrayal without warning. Seeing the girl's eyes filled with tears, Yan Xinyue did not hesitate too much but just smiled to herself and retreated to another direction.

Realizing that he was being spared, he bowed deeply and left with the security guard.

The culprit of all this, Xia Muxin, finally fell silent under the continuous evidence, and was finally taken away by the police officers who had been hiding in the backstage in front of everyone.

This farce finally ended amid the ridicule of the crowd, and Yan Xinyue was the well-deserved champion. She received the championship trophy amid applause and cheers.

Seeing that the matter was over, Meng Qingyan left quietly.

On the way back to the city, Mu Zeyu drove the car, Li Jinchen sat in the passenger seat, and the three girls sat in the back seat.

Along the way, Mu Xingran was still indignant about what had just happened at the venue, while Tang Tang said nothing, but the loneliness in his eyes was very obvious.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Meng Qingyan echoed Mu Xingran's endless anger from time to time, while Li Jinchen openly observed the little girl's expression through the rearview mirror.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a private restaurant.

"Let's go, I'll get you something to eat and then send you back!"

Under the puzzled expressions of several people, Mu Zeyu explained helplessly;

Without thinking too much, she followed the man's arrangement. The indignant look on her face disappeared in an instant. She pretended to follow behind him obediently, but all she was thinking about was how to trick her elder brother.

After a hearty meal, the three girls slumped in their chairs. The piles of empty plates and the crayfish shells on the table all told of the madness they had just experienced.

On Mu Zeyu and Li Jinchen's side, the table was eerily clean, with almost no trace of oil on the plates.

"Mu Xingran, how long have you been hungry? Isn't the living allowance I gave you enough?"

She was so shocked by the behavior of those people that her mouth could fit two eggs. She glanced at the man next to her, and seeing that he didn't seem unhappy, she still asked in disbelief.

No wonder Mu Zeyu was so surprised. Those were six large portions of crayfish, and they were cleaned up by these people in less than an hour.

Ben was still resting his eyes, and when he heard his brother's undisguised ridicule, he rolled his eyes at the man and retorted unhappily;

"Why is there so much trouble when I order your food? I don't understand how a girl could be interested in such a stingy person!"

The ridicule from his sister made him speechless. Not wanting to argue with the girl, he stopped talking. However, he still glared at the girl unwillingly, then handed her a used tissue and threw it at her without hesitation.
