Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Blowing One’s Cover

Chen Xinwan had originally wanted to help Nan Qiao speak when Liu Yanfang was mentioned, but Nan Qiao said she had evidence.

Nan Qiao’s evidence was quickly produced.

She handed the USB drive to He Yun, "Would Miss He mind casting this onto the big screen?"

He Yun nodded, and a moment later, the big screen was filled with images, drawing everyone’s attention.

As Nan Qiao approached the computer controlling the screen with He Yun’s microphone in hand, she addressed the audience, "Please look here. This is Zhou Jingya’s design. This design draft was drawn by me."

Zhou Jingya, "Nan Qiao, you’re just trying to twist the facts, aren’t you? My design has been public for a long time. You copied it and claimed it as your own, and now you’re also saying that I plagiarized you?"

Liu Yanfang, "Nan Qiao, you’re accusing Xiao Ya of plagiarism just based on a drawing? You’re just jealous of Xiao Ya!"

Nan Qiao replied calmly, "I haven’t finished speaking yet. Could you let me finish before interrupting? Don’t we need to sort this out and see, based on the timeline, whose hands the designs actually came from?"

Rong Yan, "Exactly! Mr. Qiao hasn’t finished her point yet. Why are you all jumping up and squawking? Interrupting others is really rude."

Chen Xinwan also spoke up, "Qiaoqiao hasn’t finished speaking, and you’re interrupting her. That really is bad manners."

Bai Zhenyang, "You all better zip your mouths until Qiaoqiao has finished speaking. When it’s your turn, you can talk all you want; nobody is gagging you!"

The appearance of Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang took Liu Yanfang and Zhou Hongqi by complete surprise.

Both were dressed in expensive clothes, particularly Chen Xinwan with her designer handbag worth a million.

A bag Liu Yanfang could only dream of owning but could never afford.

The cufflinks on Bai Zhenyang’s sleeves were also worth a hundred thousand.

These outfits filled Liu Yanfang with envy.

Liu Yanfang, "Who are you? Why are you speaking up for Nan Qiao?"

Standing by Nan Qiao’s side, Chen Xinwan responded protectively and with authority, "She’s my daughter! Why wouldn’t I speak up for her? My daughter is so talented; it has to be your daughter who’s plagiarized her excellent work!"

Regardless of Nan Qiao’s warnings, Chen Xinwan was ready to step in, unable to bear anyone bullying her daughter.

With clear and agitated emotion, Bai Zhenyang stated, "Your baseless slander has led me to hire a lawyer! You dare bully my daughter and plagiarize her creations; aren’t you ashamed?"

Bai Yurou, "..."

How did they get up there?

More importantly, hadn’t they agreed with Nan Qiao not to reveal their identities?

Bai Yurou was seething, knowing that Nan Qiao had said that on purpose.

Hadn’t she at least not disagreed, even if she wasn’t in favor?

No one could see Bai Yurou’s rage.

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Hongqi were fixated on Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang for a long time, completely taken aback.

Nan Qiao’s parents?

They were that wealthy?

Not wanting others to focus on her identity, Nan Qiao continued, "The next slide is the contract I signed with Huai Xi, along with the design drafts. Everyone can look at the dates and the style of the designs."

The date was January, before Zhou Jingya was found, and when Nan Qiao didn’t know Zhou Jingya.

With the presentation of evidence, everyone in the room was shocked once more.

Nan Qiao continued, "When the Zhou Family kicked me out, I wasn’t allowed to take much with me. I only took two sets of clothes I bought with the money I earned from part-time jobs; I didn’t take my designs. I never expected Zhou Jingya to claim my work as her own."

Zhou Jingya was in a panic, and Liu Qing was also shocked.

Ren Yongshi and Lu Zhengyang, standing by the door, understood everything upon hearing this.

Ren Yongshi was furiously incensed, "Lu Zhengyang, take a good look at what kind of woman you’ve picked! A thief! If she can steal other people’s designs now, she will steal men later, and your money, and even your power!"

Power was what Lu Zhengyang cherished and valued most; he wouldn’t allow anyone to take it away!

"Mom, let’s go."

Lu Zhengyang wanted nothing more to do with Zhou Jingya; she had deceived him completely.

Without hesitation, Ren Yongshi and Lu Zhengyang left.

Zhou Jingya wanted to chase after them, but Rong Yan stopped her.

"Zhou Jingya, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?" Rong Yan demanded indignantly.

Grinding her teeth with fury, Zhou Jingya glared at Nan Qiao, "How can you prove that you drew the design? Perhaps you stole it, or bought someone else’s work?"

Nan Qiao approached the gowns designed by five designers, picked up scissors, transformed a long dress into a short dress, and cut off a decorative bow that had previously been locked.

Nan Qiao made her alterations quickly, as though she knew how to modify each piece of clothing upon sight.

She swiftly altered five dresses, and after each was completed, exclamations of amazement were heard from the designers.

Once finished, the five designers were both excited and astonished.

"The way she altered the dresses is exactly the effect I wanted!"

"I can’t believe I could design something with such a foundation!"

"Oh, come off it, it’s clear she’s the one who improved it. Look closely, can you even see any trace of your original design?!"

One voice after another echoed in Nan Qiao’s ears, also reaching Zhou Jingya.

Zhou Hongqi was completely numb.

Zhou Hongqi, both shocked and agitated, "Qiaoqiao, you can actually design clothes! How come you know how to design, when did you learn?!"

Liu Yanfang, "How dare you deceive us! How could you lie to us! And now you’re even trying to harm Xiao Ya, Nan Qiao, you’re really despicable!"

Nan Qiao, "If you all are ’things,’ then why have you stolen my ’things’?"

Liu Yanfang, "..."

Nan Qiao’s retort was piercing, leaving Liu Yanfang speechless and seething.

Zhou Jingya had become an object of everyone’s scorn.

With a cool voice, Nan Qiao slowly declared, "Regarding Zhou Jingya stealing my design, I will arm myself with the law to protect my rights!"

Chen Xinwan expressed concernedly, "Qiaoqiao, I’ve already arranged a lawyer for you, you don’t need to worry about these trivial matters. Talking to these people only upsets you."

Bai Zhenyang, "Qiaoqiao, my team of lawyers will seek justice on your behalf over this matter!"

Other people around were vilifying Zhou Jingya for her shameless brazenness.

Disgraceful!

Utterly disgraceful!

A young designer mustered the courage to ask, "Excuse me, are you perhaps Huai Xi?"

The room fell silent.

Nan Qiao replied succinctly, "Yes, I am Huai Xi."

If the alias could not be maintained, then let it explode!

With that declaration from Nan Qiao, the Zhou family trio was dumbstruck.

Zhou Hongqi, connecting Nan Qiao’s identity with the matter of cooperation, couldn’t believe it.

Unbelieving, he asked, "All those companies that collaborated with me before, they were your people? And their withdrawal from my company’s collaboration is also your doing?"

Nan Qiao responded with a sly smile, "Oh, President Zhou, you’ve finally caught on, haven’t you?"

Zhou Hongqi: !!
