2333 Twins
When Qiao Jierou saw this scene in front of her, a smile appeared on her face. So many people were going over to watch the commotion. This scene was even more interesting than she had imagined.
The stage was already set up without any extra effort.
The more people watched, the better the effect.
Her footsteps were hurried as she walked forward with everyone. She led everyone to witness Qiao Weiyang’s downfall.
At the event location, the interpreter and a.s.sistant continued to shout in several languages, “Contestant Qiao Weiyang! The time is almost up. If you still don’t show yourself, you’ll be considered to have forfeited according to the compet.i.tion rules…”
“Sorry I’m late.” Qiao Weiyang held the design draft in one hand and the evening gown covered by the dust cover in the other as she walked over.
Her expression was relaxed and natural. There was no hurry at all. There was no smile on her face, only coldness. However, it did not make people feel uncomfortable. Instead, they found her inexplicably attractive.
It was not against the rules for her to arrive at the last moment.
“Miss Qiao, please come over,” the interpreter and a.s.sistant said at the same time.
Qiao Weiyang quickly stood in front of the judges.
She presented her design draft with both hands. There were a total of five copies, and each judge received a copy.
The judges this time were completely different from the judges in the preliminary round. They were replaced by five more authoritative and professional industry insiders.
After the judges took a look at Qiao Weiyang’s design draft, they were immediately puzzled. “Can you let us see your finished product?”
Without waiting for the interpreter to speak, Qiao Weiyang nodded and said, “No problem.”
She spoke in German smoothly and without any obstruction.
She raised her hand, grabbed the dust cover, and lifted it up. The hem of the evening gown gradually appeared in the judges’ line of sight. As the hem of the dress was revealed, it was as if light was gradually released.
Light couldn’t be covered by darkness; it would only be temporarily blocked.
It was the same for this evening gown. When the judges saw that the design draft was extremely identical to Qiao Jierou’s, they thought that the finished product would be similar. Although they could not tell the pros and cons for the time being, they could see the results first.
When they saw Qiao Weiyang’s gown, the five of them held their breaths as they stared at it. It was as if they were seeing a piece of art slowly unfolding in front of them with holy light surrounding it.
When the dust cover was completely removed, the eyes of the five people lit up.
“Oh my G.o.d! I feel like my soul has been lifted!”
One of the female judges covered her mouth and said in disbelief. She was very moved. She stood up and extended her hands to Qiao Weiyang. “Qiao, you’ve impressed me! Now, let’s talk about the evening gown. Please sit down. I think we can talk for a long time.”
Qiao Weiyang readily agreed, “No problem!”
…
In the hotel, Qiao Jierou and Frank were walking at the front.
As Frank walked, he asked Qiao Jierou about the situation. He had already called Qiao Weiyang just now, but no one picked up.
As for the others, they didn’t have Qiao Weiyang’s phone number at all, so they had no way of contacting her.
“When was the last time you saw Qiao Weiyang?”
“This morning, my boyfriend was a little unwell. I went to knock on my sister’s door and asked her to get some medicine. You know, it’s probably because he hasn’t acclimatized to the environment. Only local medicine would be effective. Then, my sister said that she would give it to my boyfriend. They’re very familiar, so I didn’t care much about it. I went to my sister’s room to get my design… I had some questions to ask my sister before, which is why my design was in her room. Then, I went to the event location. I thought that my sister would come over soon, but I didn’t see her. That’s why I’m a little anxious.”
Qiao Jierou had already prepared a set of excuses. Every point was impeccable and very thorough. After all, her sisterly relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Weiyang was obvious, and she was not afraid of being asked in detail.
What she said was indeed reasonable.
Frank frowned and knocked on Qiao Weiyang’s room door. Obviously, no one opened the door.
He immediately notified room service to come over. When they heard that someone was missing, room service suggested that they call the police.
Frank was thinking the same thing. It was best to call the police if necessary.
Qiao Jierou said, “I wonder if she’s still in my room? Why don’t I go over and take a look?”
“Alright.” Frank only wanted to find Qiao Weiyang now. The rest didn’t really matter.
“Let’s go,” Qiao Jierou said.
The room manager was afraid that something would happen, so he followed along and was prepared to call the police at any time.
The other contestants followed behind. There were all kinds of discussions, but most of them were still concerned about Qiao Weiyang. It was obvious that they had a good impression of Qiao Weiyang.
When they arrived at Qiao Jierou’s door, Qiao Jierou swiped her card, but the door did not open.
She then said apologetically, “I remember that it wasn’t easy to open my door last night, but it was a little late at that time, so I didn’t report it to the receptionist. Coincidentally, the manager is here. Please help me open it.”
The room manager went forward and worked hard for a while before opening the door with a tool.
The moment the door opened, she smelled a very ambiguous and unpleasant smell. Clothes were scattered all over the ground.
Immediately, everyone’s expressions changed.
Every one of them was an adult. They were all experienced in these things.
The room manager was also stunned. He knew that he should leave.
Qiao Jierou immediately looked aggrieved, like she was about to cry. She looked at the situation in front of her in disbelief. “Sister… How could Sister do this? I… I just asked her to come and see Brother Heng. This… This…”
Her tears kept falling. She had undergone special training to make herself cry, and anyone who saw her would pity her. Other than Frank, the others basically didn’t understand her, but they could still feel her sadness and helplessness.
Frank gritted his teeth and frowned. “Are you going in to take a look, or should I? I don’t think Weiyang would do such a thing. The most important thing now is to confirm her whereabouts.”
He was still calm and objective.
Qiao Jierou cried and said, “I can’t face it… Sister, she… I know she’s always liked Brother Heng, but I never thought…”
Frank said, “Since you’re not going in, I’ll find a female friend to accompany me in to take a look. We won’t be at ease if we can’t find Weiyang.”
“Then you guys go in.” Qiao Jierou held back her cries and pretended that she couldn’t bear to see anything happen to Qiao Weiyang.
Frank briefly explained the situation in his native language. One of the women stepped forward and said, “Frank and I will go over and take a look.”
The two of them walked in together.
