MINE ALONE - VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 69

Xia Tong lowered her head in embarrassment. She would not allow her reputation to be ruined just like that. The person who plagiarized Gu Shan was that small-time designer, not her. Why should she get scolded?

“Mr. Lu, I admit that I didn’t design this!”

Her lips were pale and trembling slightly. At this moment, she could only admit her mistake because she could not withstand the anger of Gu Shan’s fans. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, “This design originally belonged to Miss Qiao. She copied Gu Shan’s work!”

Now that her reputation was ruined, she would not let that b*tch be alone. She had only plagiarized an unknown designer, while that b*tch plagiarized Gu Shan!

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. The image of Xia Tong berating Designer Qiao appeared in front of their eyes, but in reality, it was Xia Tong who stole the design.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. She was finally telling the truth? Unfortunately, it was too late!

Lu Zhi met Qiao Xi’s eyes and understood in his heart. He said with disdain, “Miss Xia, you really know how to slander others. Your name is clearly written on this design.”

At this moment, Xia Tong was extremely regretful. She originally wanted to use the design to prove her innocence, but now, she wished she had not taken that design. Unexpectedly, she shot herself in the foot.

She stood rooted to the ground, her forehead covered in sweat. At this point, she could only find someone to take the blame. She gritted her teeth. “It… It was my manager, Chen Li, who gave me the design.”

Chen Li’s expression was extremely ugly, but she was not in a rush to retort. She knew that Xia Tong had pushed her to take the blame, but she could not refuse because she knew that if Xia Tong was ruined, all her years of hard work would be in vain.

She lowered her head, tacitly agreeing to all of their crimes. However, how could Lu Zhi let them off so easily?

“Miss Xia, you mean that this design originally belonged to Miss Qiao? Your manager and the production team colluded and stole Miss Qiao’s design. They pretended that it was your work. Is that correct?” Lu Zhi asked.

That was indeed the truth, but when it was said so bluntly, Xia Tong wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Xia Tong forced herself to calm down. Fortunately, the recording was suspended now. After the matter was over, she would get the producer to tell the entire production team not to spread the news. As for the fans, she would give them more benefits. As long as she apologized sincerely now, this matter would be forgotten by everyone soon.

“Yes! It’s my fault! I was just muddle-headed, so I used someone else’s design. I’ve let everyone down.”

Xia Tong apologized with tears in her eyes, but there was no regret in her eyes. She had already apologized, but what about Designer Qiao? She needed to apologize even more. The crime of plagiarizing Gu Shan was very serious.

When she thought about this, Xia Tong suddenly looked at Qiao Xi with a face full of regret. “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao. I shouldn’t have used your design, but you should apologize to Gu Shan!”

Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. This woman was really stubborn!

When Chen Li heard this, she said agitatedly, “Yes! Our Xia Tong was just rash, but Miss Qiao deliberately plagiarized Gu Shan’s work. You’ve offended Gu Shan. You should apologize to everyone!”

At this moment, Xia Tong was also staring fiercely at Qiao Xi. Her expression gradually turned ferocious, and her vicious gaze seemed to want to kill. If her reputation was ruined, she had to drag this b*tch down with her!

Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, Lu Zhi said calmly, “Xi Xi, take off your mask.”

Everyone was stunned. From what Lu Zhi said, he seemed to be very familiar with this designer.

Qiao Xi nodded, and her lips curled into a stunning smile. She used her fair and slender fingers to take off her mask, then a beautiful face appeared in front of everyone.

Today, Qiao Xi had changed her usual pure style and specially put on makeup with a strong aura. Her fiery red lips matched the tight dress she was wearing, making her look exceptionally enchanting like a blooming rose. She looked both pure and beautiful. She made others unable to stop themselves from admiring her.

However, even though she was very beautiful, it could not offset the fact that she had plagiarized. Why did Lu Zhi want her to take off her mask?

Just as everyone was making wild guesses, the female judge who had been standing beside Shen Yu suddenly said, “Wait! I think I’ve seen her before!”

Xia Tong had a look of disdain. What was there to be surprised about? They were all from the fashion industry, so it was not surprising that she had seen Qiao Xi before.
