"Hey, it's nothing serious. I'll talk about my business later. Didn't that little girl question the authenticity of our game? Let her finish her sentence."

As Hua Hengzhi waved his hand, the topic was brought back. Only then did everyone remember the original focus of the matter.

Wu Yan bowed respectfully and responded.

"Just now, Miss Shen Ling said that this designer's works were plagiarized. I wonder what the basis is for that?"

"I'm sorry, fellow judges, my sister has been spoiled rotten. I will take her back right now to make you laugh. Let's stop what happened today. I will pretend that nothing happened."

Shen Zhiqing suppressed the panic in her heart and tried to prevent Shen Ling from presenting the so-called evidence.

People who rarely have the opportunity to see this kind of drama of wealthy sisters fighting each other were once again excited.

"Miss Zhiqing is such a good sister. Her sister is wreaking havoc at such an important moment in her life, but she is still willing to tolerate her."

"Isn't it right? Why does it look like Shen Zhiqing is scared to me?"

"It's funny. Shen Ling has been broke for so many years. Could it be that Miss Zhiqing plagiarized her work?"

In the crowd, someone just raised a question and was refuted by Shen Zhiqing's supporters.

As soon as the words came out, the man himself felt a little ridiculous, so he burst out laughing.

What followed was a steady stream of ridicule.

Hua Heng and others only glanced at each other lightly and said nothing.

Obviously, they wanted to see how Shen Ling would respond.

And Shen Ling did live up to expectations and spoke.

"Yes, everyone is right. I really don't have any works. I'm not even considered a designer now. Being able to take over Time is entirely due to my mother's credit."

"I understand that as a manager of a design studio, my failure to participate in the competition is really looked down upon by everyone. But I think the most important thing in life is integrity. If I don't know it, I have to dare to admit that I don't know it, instead of plagiarizing other people's work. Then put your name on the work.”

"Since I stand here today and say that Shen Zhiqing plagiarized, I must have real evidence. I hope everyone can give me a chance, stop interrupting me, and let me finish my sentence."

"If after what I have said, you still think that I was jealous of her and framed her, then Shen Ling will apologize to everyone on the spot."

The girl who spoke was only in her twenties. She didn't say anything harsh or mean any threats, but she seemed to have an innate dignity when she spoke.

Everyone who was noisy just now fell silent unconsciously.

Hua Hengzhi's eyes once again flashed with appreciation.

At such a young age, he has a very strong ability to control the situation. When faced with criticism from everyone, he is not impatient, not annoyed, not angry, not panicked, and can still say something calmly and generously. He should really let his juniors learn from others.

Damn it, didn't that old man named Lin Xiao dislike Shen Ling just now? Why is it so silent now?

And Shen Ling, who spoke so harshly, did he really know anything? But this shouldn't be the case.

Shen Zhiqing's face turned a little pale, and the ominous premonition she had had since Shen Ling interrupted her to retrieve the drawings became even stronger.

But she also knew that if she had just forcibly smeared Shen Ling and then taken her away, then the matter would have come to a perfect end. Shen Ling would never be able to get rid of the name of being narrow-minded and framed her step-sister.

But Hua Hengzhi jumped out and disrupted the progress of the matter. Now that she can no longer speak, if things have developed to this point, if she says anything else, she will have a guilty conscience.

Now, she can only hope that Shen Ling's evidence is not sufficient.

Shen Zhiqing's palms were covered with sticky cold sweat, and she didn't even bother to wipe them away.

"As we all know, my late mother Shen Yan was a leader in the design world. I believe all the judges present today should still have an impression of her."

For the first time, Shen Ling talked about his mother in front of everyone with an outsider's tone - that woman who was gentle and generous, with a clear smile, but decisive in her actions.

Hearing this name, everyone seemed to see through Shen Ling once again the woman who was so energetic and confident in the design competition twenty years ago.

Wu Yan finally remembered why she felt familiar when seeing Shen Ling.

At this moment, the woman standing generously in the sun overlapped bit by bit with the figure in her memory, until she completely became the same person. Passing away... Wu Yan was in a trance.

It turns out that this Shen Yan is the Shen Yan I know...

It turns out that Shen Ling is her daughter...

It turns out that the cunning and intelligent woman in my memory has passed away?

Wu Yan's heart was suddenly full of mixed feelings, as if his heart had been soaked in coptis. It was bitter, sour, and swollen. He didn't know how to accurately describe this feeling.

Shen Zhiqing's legs became weak and her face became paler. It seemed as if all her strength had been drained from her body and she was a little unsteady on her feet.

Others may not know what Shen Ling meant when she suddenly mentioned Shen Yan at this time, but she knew.

She knew, no joke, Shen Ling really knew.

A huge panic swept through her body. Shen Zhiqing felt that the world in front of her was spinning, and she almost fainted.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Sister, please don't faint first. After all, this is related to my sister's innocence."

Shen Ling, who was watching Shen Zhiqing's reaction from the corner of his eye, looked at her as if she had been struck by lightning, and couldn't help but give a gentle reminder.

Shen Zhiqing twitched the corner of her mouth,

"Sister, just say it. Those who are clean will clean themselves up. Of course I have nothing to be afraid of."

Even as she said this, Shen Zhiqing's face became increasingly ugly.

"I thought my sister was feeling guilty, but it would be better not to faint at this juncture."

Shen Ling smiled and continued:

"And what I want to say is that Shen Zhiqing plagiarized my mother Shen Yan's work!"

These words, like thunder on a sunny day, hit everyone's heart hard.

As soon as Shen Ling said these words, Shen Zhiqing closed her eyes in despair, and the last trace of luck in her heart was completely shattered.

She knew it was over...it was all over...

"What did you say?"

An extremely shocked voice sounded from behind.

The person who said this was Zhang Lanyin, who had just flown back from abroad and rushed to the design competition site to hear the final results.

She was travel-stained, her face was still full of fatigue, and her delicate face was filled with wonder.

She was originally going to participate in this competition, but just three days ago, Yan Peipei called to tell her that her father had fallen ill.

So she quickly booked a flight and flew overnight to a foreign country to settle down with her father. After confirming that he would not have any major problems, she hurried back to know the final result.

Before she came in, she heard someone say that Shen Zhiqing won first place. She was really happy for her, but then she heard them say that Shen Ling reported Shen Zhiqing for plagiarism on the spot.
