At that moment, time stood still and the air became stagnant, as if even the sweltering sun and the sound of wind in my ears held their breath.

The moment he heard these words, Wu Yan immediately took back the drawings. Shen Zhiqing's outstretched hand froze in mid-air in embarrassment, and she suddenly turned back in disbelief.

Under the scorching sun, a girl in sportswear with a high ponytail stood not far away, looking at her with a smile. Her obsidian-like eyes were astonishingly bright under the reflection of the sun, as if there was a burning fire inside. of flame.

It's still that plain face, but it doesn't make people feel sloppy or plain at all, giving people a sense of simplicity like "hibiscus emerges from clear water".

Obviously she was more refined today, but for some reason, the moment she faced Shen Ling, Shen Zhiqing suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself.

It's like, in front of Shen Ling, no matter how much you dress up or dress up, it's all in vain.

"Who are you?"

Wu Yan looked at the little girl who made the noise with some confusion. For some reason, she felt that this little girl looked familiar.

Coupled with the fact that she had just looked at Shen Ling, she felt that this was not a young girl who would be careless. Therefore, her attitude became very gentle without even realizing it.

Shen Ling still smiled calmly. She opened her mouth and was about to speak.

"I'm sorry, judges, this is my sister, the person in charge of the Time Design Studio. She may have been a little emotional when she saw that I won the first place, which made everyone laugh."

Shen Zhiqing glanced at Wu Yan with some injustice. Shen Ling said in public that she did not deserve to win the first place. She must have been overwhelmed by jealousy and anger.

Just in time, he simply cut off Shen Ling's retreat and let her reap the consequences.

Shen Zhiqing rolled her eyes, then pretended to be pitiful, and directly cut off what Shen Ling was about to say.

This delicate girl's head was slightly drooped, her shoulders were slumped slightly, and she was twitching slightly. Her slightly upturned phoenix eyes were filled with large tears, looking pitiful and about to fall.

There were many young men in the audience who were young and energetic. They couldn't bear to see the beauty who was about to cry. They had the ambition to complain for the beauty.

"Sister? What kind of sister is this? She clearly doesn't like her sister."

"That's right, the person in charge of Time Designer? This Miss Shen just now seems to be the designer of Time Designer."

"She doesn't have a number plate on her chest. She shouldn't be a contestant today, right?"

"As a person in charge of a designer, I dare not even participate in such a competition. Is it because the work is too poor to win?"

"No wonder he wants to cause trouble when his sister is receiving the award."

Public opinions came in like a tidal wave. Because Shen Zhiqing has been out and about in recent years and always puts on a show, she still has a good reputation in the hearts of ordinary people.

Shen Ling, on the other hand, has always stayed behind closed doors, and doesn't care much about anything. He doesn't care at all about external things like reputation.

At this moment, the aggrieved look on Shen Zhiqing's face made everyone stand on her side.

"Miss Shen's sister, isn't that the biological daughter of designer Shen back then?"

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that Designer Shen, who is so famous, would not only give birth to a daughter who did not inherit her design talent, but would also learn these evil ways to frame her sister."

Someone with good intentions recalled Shen Yan's demeanor in the past, took another look at Shen Ling at this moment, compared the two, and said disdainfully.

"You can't speak too absolutely. Hasn't this Miss Shen not spoken yet? What if she really has evidence?"

"What evidence will she have? She doesn't even dare to participate in the competition. Could it be that Miss Shen Zhiqing stole her design?"

"Miss Shen Ling looks like a beautiful and delicate person, how could she do such a false accusation?"

"You know people, but you don't know faces. Don't be fooled by her pretty face."

"Yes, she dared to bully her sister like this in front of everyone at that time. Miss Zhiqing must have been living a miserable life at home."

"Hey, she is the stepdaughter after all. I also said that their relationship is really good. It turns out they were all just pretending!"

Occasionally, a few voices in the crowd tried to speak for Shen Ling, but they were suppressed by the army supporting Shen Zhiqing and disappeared without a trace.

The strange thing is that the judges on the stage seemed to turn a blind eye to the situation in front of them. They did not say anything or stop it. They just watched the development of the matter with a calm expression.

Wu Yan, who overheard these words, frowned again, Shen Yan's daughter? Which Shen Yan?

"You have the guts to stop someone from receiving the award, but why don't you have the guts to speak up?"

One voice shouted very loudly. Obviously, it was aimed at Shen Ling.

Listening to the one-sided public opinion, Shen Zhiqing raised the corners of her mouth proudly, and then cast her eyes provocatively at Shen Ling.

Facing the overwhelming sound of rejection, Shen Ling's expression remained as usual, calm and generous.

She had already thought of such a scene when she chose to expose Shen Zhiqing today.

Shen Zhiqing is almost a replica of Shen Boyuan.

She cherishes her reputation and likes to bluff. If she stands up on her own, she will inevitably be counterattacked by her supporters.

But it doesn't matter, since she is standing here today, she is already prepared for a counterattack.

Shen Ling suddenly moved. She stepped forward with her straight and slender legs and walked towards the center of the pavilion step by step.

Every step she took seemed to be measured and even. She walked very slowly and steadily, as if this was not the scene of Shen Zhiqing's competition, but her home court.

When she felt that the distance was almost there, she stopped.

He stretched out his jade hands and made a weak gesture in the air, signaling everyone to shut up.

Miraculously, everyone who had been criticizing her just now stopped talking at the same time. They all looked at the little girl in front of them with bated breath, waiting for what shocking words she would say.

The scene was so quiet that apart from the breathing of the people present and the gentle sound of the wind, there was nothing else.

"Since everyone knows me, I won't introduce myself."

"You heard me right, today I am here to expose my sister Shen Zhiqing. She plagiarized other people's design works and used it to participate in the design competition in an attempt to deceive the judges and win the prize."

Shen Ling spoke leisurely, looking at Shen Zhiqing with a smile as he spoke.

Shen Zhiqing suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and then she felt a little guilty.

Looking at Shen Ling's appearance, it doesn't look like he is talking nonsense.

It looked like she clearly knew something before she dared to say this. But, how did she know?

No, no, she was just jealous. That matter was so secret, how could she possibly know about it?

Shen Zhiqing's tightly-clasped hands were filled with beads of sweat, and she became a little panicked.
