Chapter 417: Superb White Lotus, Slandering Wanwan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While the Beijing University students were shocked, the atmosphere at the exhibition venue was even more tense.
There were sparks in the air that seemed to be able to ignite at the slightest touch.
“Miss Song, are you questioning whether Teacher Gao’s designs are original?” There were many reporters below the stage. When they heard the news, almost all of them gathered in front of the stage.
“Did you stand up this time to represent the Qiao family?”
“Why hasn’t anyone from the Qiao family said anything yet? Do you have any evidence to question this?”
“Teacher Gao’s works are all patented. Everyone knows this. What right do you have to say this? What basis do you have?”
…
Song Fengwan took a deep breath and pointed at Gao Xue. “Because all the works she presented now were plagiarized from me!”
The people in the audience looked at each other. Some of them gasped, while others revealed mocking expressions.
Seeing that she only knew how to talk glibly, Gao Xue smiled lightly. I thought she would say something shocking, but that’s it?
Sure enough, she’s still just a little girl. Does she think that she can turn the situation around with her father’s backing? She’s so childish that it’s laughable.
She’s just putting up a final struggle.
Since she knew that Song Fengwan could only scream and couldn’t take out anything, there was nothing to be afraid of.
“Teacher Gao…” A reporter pointed their camera at Gao Xue. “Is what she said true?”
The corners of Gao Xue’s lips curled up slightly into a contemptuous smile.
Since you don’t have any evidence, can’t you just play dead obediently? But since you insist on jumping out like a clown, don’t blame me for not giving you face later.
“It’s purely a rumor. My works have all been certified by experts and have registered patents. How could I be suspected of plagiarism?” Gao Xue said righteously, looking determined and serious.
“When I was still your student before, didn’t you confiscate my sketchbook? Didn’t you peep at my works? You copied all these things from me,” Song Fengwan said.
“I copied you?” Gao Xue sneered.
“Everyone can see it. She’s only in her first year of university. When I taught her, her sketches looked like dog scribbles, and she was still a high school student. How could I copy her?
“What could someone who hasn’t even built a good foundation create? You were merely my student back then.
“I just want to ask. Song Fengwan, do you have any direct evidence to prove that I plagiarized you?”
Gao Xue looked at her with the contempt of a victor.
All the cameras pointed at Song Fengwan again. She bit her lip. “No.”
These kinds of design drawings had too many advantages for being published first.
The audience was in an uproar.
He s.h.i.+qing smiled and lowered her head to rub the diamond bracelet on her wrist. Previously, at Yu Manxi’s condo, this little girl only knew how to use a knife to scare people. She looks like she has no upbringing.
She doesn’t even have evidence. How could she shout in this situation? It’s simply shameful.
How did Yan w.a.n.gchuan dare to bring her out?
Even if you dote on your daughter, there has to be a limit. With such a thing happening, the entire Yan family will probably be scolded.
She’s so brainless.
The people in the audience were discussing spiritedly. They felt that Song Fengwan’s actions were too much. She had dared to go up without any evidence. She was really fearless.
“Is she a fool? She doesn’t have any evidence, yet she still wants to slander her?”
“She looks smart. She must have gone crazy and came here to gain attention.”
“The Qiao family is really embarra.s.sing enough. Old Master Qiao has always had an ill.u.s.trious name, but I didn’t expect his granddaughter to be so stupid.”
…
After Gao Xue knew that Song Fengwan had no evidence, her heart instantly felt at ease.
She’s simply courting death. If I crush this girl to death here today, no one will dare to say that I plagiarized again in the future. These works will become mine completely.
At the thought of this, she took a deep breath.
“Actually, Song Fengwan has always been a student I like very much. She is very intelligent and hardworking. Even though the draft she submitted for Beijing University’s design compet.i.tion was imitated from me, I didn’t mind…”
Gao Xue sighed repeatedly, looking pained.
“Because I know she’s a good child. She knew that she had done something wrong, so she decided to withdraw from the compet.i.tion at the last minute.
“It’s very common for students to imitate their teachers’ works, but they still need to have their own original creations. I believe that she’s a malleable talent. I also feel very uncomfortable with the situation today. I didn’t expect you to be Old Master Qiao’s granddaughter…
“You didn’t just copy my painting. Did you tell the Qiao family about my designs, which led to…”
Gao Xue was a ruthless person. She directly threw all the dirty water on Song Fengwan.
She even dragged the Qiao family into the water.
She played it down and directly degraded Song Fengwan and the Qiao family to be worthless. She was extremely arrogant.
These reporters were all capable people. They immediately found out that Song Fengwan had indeed withdrawn from Beijing University’s design compet.i.tion. Later on, her entry was suspected of plagiarism.
“F*ck, this is the thief calling to catch a thief. She plagiarized herself, yet she’s even attacking the original creator. Does she think that just because her father is powerful, she can control everything?”
“She likely became crazy thinking about becoming popular.”
“The other party’s drawings are all patented. If you have the ability, prove that your works are earlier than hers. Take out your drawings.”
“That’s right. If you can prove it, then do it openly. Otherwise, quickly get lost and don’t embarra.s.s yourself.”
…
There were many discussions.
Just as the situation was getting heated, there was a commotion outside.
When everyone turned around, they saw an old man in a Chinese tunic suit slowly walking over. He looked hale and hearty, but his eyes were sharp and penetrating.
The old lady beside him was wearing a new embroidered cloth dress. She was already old, and her hair was silvery-white, but the elegance and composure in her bones had never faded.
Fu Chen silently retreated to the corner and sat beside Jing Hanchuan. He had never liked being in the limelight, and today was not his arena.
His parents had been clamoring to come and seek justice for the Qiao family. But unfortunately, there was a traffic jam on the way, and they had been delayed.
Uncle Zhong followed behind them, holding a long box in his arms.
“Old Master Fu!”
“Holy s.h.i.+t!”
“F*ck, it’s worth it…”
Even the people watching the live broadcast were excited. What kind of big day was it today? Even Old Master Fu came out.
Gao Xue clenched her fists as she heard the discussions below the stage. Knowing the ident.i.ties of these two elders, she was so excited that her body was trembling. She even thought that she was already extremely popular.
Even these two people came. She couldn’t suppress the joy and excitement in her heart at all.
Fu Chen was hiding in the dark, but Song Fengwan was standing on the stage with a wide view. She saw Fu Chen almost immediately. Their eyes met, and Song Fengwan felt more at ease.
Jing Hanchuan turned his head and looked at the person beside him. “You’re late.”
“My mother likes to look pretty, so she took a long time to dress up.” Although it was a woman’s nature to like to look beautiful, Old Madam Fu was already so old, yet she still took so long. Fu Chen opened his eyes. “What’s the situation now?”
“Your wife is being suppressed quite badly. This woman is…” Jing Hanchuan raised his hand and pointed at Gao Xue.
“Fierce.
“It’s mainly because she’s shameless enough.”
Jing Hanchuan chuckled lightly. Shameless people are invincible. This sentence is vividly displayed on her. The Jing family and the Qiao family are old friends. If the Qiao family was greedy for money and fame, why didn’t they use their many connections? Was there a need to plagiarize her?
She wasn’t afraid of Song Fengwan’s accusations and even bit her back. She’s really good at distorting the truth.
“Is that so?” Fu Chen calmly held his Buddhist prayer bead bracelet, neither arrogant nor impatient.
“Not anxious at all?” Jing Hanchuan was speechless.
“What’s the hurry? The good show is still yet to come.” Fu Chen’s tone was indifferent.
“Looks like there’s going to be a lot of fun later.” Seeing how confident he was, Jing Hanchuan looked forward to what would happen next.
His Wanwan is a little tiger. Gao Xue might be happy too early.
When she gets bitten later, she’ll probably cry.
After all, Jing Hanchuan wasn’t that familiar with Song Fengwan, so he didn’t know what kind of person she was. But now that Fu Chen was here, he probably wouldn’t let his wife suffer too much.
…
Meanwhile, when the organizer saw that Old Master Fu was here, he was flattered. The people in the first row hurriedly gave up their seats.
However, Old Master Fu walked straight to Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s side. Some people immediately stood up, and he and Old Madam Fu sat beside Yan w.a.n.gchuan.
They were obviously here to support Song Fengwan.
Gao Xue was dumbfounded. This…
“Old Master Qiao and Old Master Fu are close friends. Old Master Fu hasn’t appeared in public for a long time. Now that he’s appeared, he must be here for the Qiao family’s plagiarism incident.”
“But it doesn’t change the fact that it’s plagiarism. Song Fengwan can’t prove it.”
“Now that she’s on stage and being criticized like this, won’t the Qiao family be even more embarra.s.sed?”
…
“Old Master Fu, welcome. I…” President Qi, the organizer, immediately came over to curry favor with him.
“Go ahead with your work. Don’t worry about me. I just want to see what this talented girl who’s praised on TV for being a once-in-a-thousand-year genius looks like. She can actually be compared with Old Qiao.
“It’s been too lively outside these days. Even I heard of her name in the compound.
“I’ve lived for so long, but this is the first time I’ve heard that someone is more talented than that old man. Naturally, I want to come and broaden my horizons.”
Old Master Fu’s voice wasn’t loud, but the surroundings were so quiet that most people heard what he said.
Gao Xue naturally couldn’t compare to Old Master Qiao. She was just stepping on him over the matter of plagiarism.
Moreover, it was all a publicity stunt. But Old Master Fu’s formal question made the organizer fl.u.s.tered.
“I’ll get someone to prepare some tea for you. What would you like to drink?” President Qi’s back was covered in hot sweat.
He had never spoken to someone of this level in his life. Old Master Fu had been in a high position all his life, and just his authority when he spoke was enough to scare people to death.
“No need.” Old Master Fu waved his hand and looked at the stage.
“Why did you let Wanwan go?” Old Madam Yan was worried as she looked at Yan w.a.n.gchuan.
“She said that this matter started because of her, so she wants to settle it herself.” Yan w.a.n.gchuan originally planned to do it himself, but she refused.
“She’s still a child. Can she handle such a situation?” In Old Madam Fu’s eyes, Song Fengwan was just like her granddaughter. She was still in school, and Old Madam Fu always felt that she needed people to protect her.
“There’s me.” Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s expression was spa.r.s.e as he stared at the stage with a cold gaze.
“This…” Old Madam Fu was still worried. She was about to say something when Old Master Fu held her hand and looked up at the stage.
Song Fengwan was pet.i.te and small. He still remembered the first time he saw her. She had been well-behaved and docile. When she sat beside his third son to eat, she had been timid and cautious.
He still remembered how fl.u.s.tered she had looked when he asked her to stay with Fu Chen. She had obviously been frightened badly, and she was just a child.
Standing on the stage at this moment…
She was eye-catching.
***
When the organizer saw that Old Master Fu was here, he naturally didn’t want Song Fengwan to continue causing trouble.
Time was pa.s.sing by. To them, this was all money.
“Miss Song, if you really don’t have any evidence, please stop causing trouble. You should go down. We promise not to pursue your responsibility.” President Qi was also in a terrible fix. If it were anyone else, he would have thrown them off the stage long ago.
But her status was special. Yan w.a.n.gchuan was sitting in the audience and refused to move. He was obviously letting her do whatever she wanted.
Isn’t this deliberately causing trouble?
Even Old Master Fu is here. What exactly do they want?!
“I really can’t prove that she plagiarized me, but I have a witness, and she can prove that Teacher Gao is indeed suspected of plagiarism.” After Song Fengwan finished speaking, Gao Xue’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be…
No way. The two of them have always been at odds. That girl has always wanted to trample Song Fengwan to death. I’m helping her by doing this. She has no reason to side with Song Fengwan. What does she want?!
The next second, she saw a familiar figure appear in front of her.
It’s indeed her…
Aren’t they enemies?! Did this d.a.m.n girl’s brain get kicked by a donkey? She’s actually helping Song Fengwan deal with me.
The person standing below the stage was the only one who could expose her—
Wu Yuxin.
