When Tang Li saw through Vivian's thoughts, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes!

"What exactly are you trying to say, Tang Li? Do you think anyone will believe what you're saying? I was the one who came up with those design drafts first; they are my designs and have nothing to do with you!"

Vivian had an imposing air about her.

She despised people like Tang Li the most. Why did everything she did go smoothly? Just because she came from a good family?

"Tang Li, you were born with a higher starting point than everyone in our dormitory, so of course you can't understand the pain we suffer at the bottom!"

Vivian became extremely agitated. "Why is it that when it comes to jewelry design, the talented one is still you, while the rest of us have no chance of making a comeback?"

She can only climb higher by using any means necessary; if she is timid and cowardly, she will only live a mediocre life.

If that's the case, why not take a gamble on your life?

Tang Li's voice was calm, but her tone was resolute: "I want you to issue a public apology!"

Having a humble background and poor circumstances is never an excuse for Ding Xiaofen to plagiarize others. She can work hard and take shortcuts, but there will never be any shortcuts to success in life!

Vivian said arrogantly, "Tang Li, if you're so capable, then produce the evidence that I plagiarized you. Otherwise, no one will believe you no matter what you say!"

"Do you think you've covered your tracks perfectly? Too bad, you've been too arrogant in your plagiarism. One of your drawings was published when I was a senior in college, but I just haven't paid much attention to it or reported you over the years!"

The evidence of her plagiarism has long been exposed.

Vivian panicked, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Tang Li looked at her panicked appearance and felt a sense of scorn.

"I'm telling you, the evidence of your plagiarism is already common knowledge!"

"Tang Li, stop trying to scare people!"

Vivian stood up angrily and glared at her fiercely.

Tang Li remained calm and composed. "Ding Xiaofen, you show no remorse whatsoever, and you don't even intend to apologize to me. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying this, she picked up her bag and was about to get up.

Vivian grabbed her arm. "Tang Li, why do you have to block my path? Your life has been smooth sailing; you don't need to work hard at all. Why do you have to obstruct my carefully planned future?"

Tang Li pulled away from the hand that was gripping her tightly.

"This is not the future you painstakingly planned; it's just your despicable act of stealing other people's achievements!"

After saying that, she left the coffee shop without hesitation.

Behind her, Vivian clutched her designer handbag tightly; she couldn't afford to be left with nothing.

Tang Li only needs one letter of complaint to send her to hell.

This absolutely cannot happen. Tang Li cannot continue living a good life, otherwise she will become a bomb that destroys her destiny!

With that thought in mind, Vivian made a phone call. "I'll send you a photo later. Do whatever it takes to kill her!"

If Tang Li is alive, she cannot live in peace.

After leaving the coffee shop, Tang Li took a taxi to the cemetery.

The cemetery is quite far from the city center; it took her an hour to drive there.

In the quiet of the night, she saw a faint figure, who seemed to be kneeling before his mother's grave.

Tang Li thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes, but there really was a person kneeling in front of her mother's grave.

As she approached step by step, she gradually realized that the person's back looked somewhat familiar.

How did you get here?

Shen Qingxu was somewhat surprised. She stood up, looked at Tang Li, and sneered.

He asked, "Why aren't you home in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?"

Tang Li found it baffling; shouldn't she be asking Shen Qingxu that question?

"Haven't you always denied acknowledging your mother?"

Shen Qingxu stubbornly refused to admit it, saying, "It's my birthday today, I was just taking a walk."

He truly hated that his mother had abandoned him back then, but on his birthday, the only person he could think of was Liu Shuyi.

He was so lonely.

Could you really find yourself wandering around and ending up at a cemetery 50 kilometers from the city center?

Just how casual is he?!

Tang Li looked at the fresh white magnolias in front of the grave, a faint smile appearing on her face. "These are my mother's favorite white magnolias."

“Brother, I know you don’t acknowledge me, but Mom was thinking of you before she died. Forgive her, she loved you, and she felt indebted to you her whole life.”

Shen Qingxu sneered. Who would believe that someone would abandon him when he was young if they felt indebted to him?

On the day Liu Shuyi decided to remarry, Tang Nanquan even sent someone over to urge his father to leave the capital, otherwise he would make sure that the father and son would die without a burial place!

Shen Qingxu's voice was cold, "Tell me your bank card number, and I'll transfer all the money you've sent me over the years back to you."

He didn't want to rely on the Tang family; the Tang family's money had nothing to do with him, Shen Qingxu!

As for Tang Li, she has her own path and her own way of living. If it weren't for this trip back to China, he and Tang Li might not have crossed paths at all.

Tang Li calmly said, "I'm leaving too. I won't take that money. If you really have too much money now, donate it to Project Hope!"

"where are you going?"

"Just like you, I want to go out and see the world, which is so big."

Tang Li did not intend to explain the specific reasons in too much detail.

Shen Qingxu frowned. He sensed that Tang Li was unhappy. Hadn't she always been the carefree princess of the Tang family?

"Weren't you and Lu Jianshen doing well together? Has he gotten tired of you?"
