Amidst enthusiastic applause, Jiang Xinyue steadily walked onto the stage.
Her figure was graceful, and she wore a confident smile. The lights shone on her, making her radiate a dazzling glow.
Bo Jingcheng's gaze was fixed on Jiang Xinyue. She was so dazzling at this moment, completely different from the woman in his memory who devoted herself to her family. The complex emotions in his heart grew stronger.
As Shen Siyao watched Jiang Xinyue shine on stage, her jealousy burned fiercely. She was unwilling to be outshone like this.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xinyue, also known as the designer Linda. The development and design concept of this project are the result of the hard work of everyone in Shengshi Group. I hope you will like our work."
Just as Jiang Xinyue finished speaking and thunderous applause erupted from the audience, Shen Siyao suddenly shrieked, "Jiang Xinyue, stop being so smug! You dare say these designs didn't steal my ideas?"
This shout instantly silenced the previously lively and harmonious venue, and everyone's attention shifted from Jiang Xinyue to Shen Siyao.
Bo Jingcheng's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously reached out to pull Chen Siyao and whispered, "Siyao, what are you saying?"
Shen Siyao forcefully shook off his hand and stormed onto the stage in her high heels.
Fu Shuheng reacted quickly, stepping in front of Jiang Xinyue and staring coldly at Shen Siyao: "Miss Shen, this is a press conference, not a place for you to throw a tantrum. Making baseless accusations without evidence is not something Shengshi Group will tolerate."
Shen Siyao ignored him, her face twisted with jealousy: "Evidence? Jiang Xinyue, I'll show you the evidence right now."
Jiang Xinyue remained calm, a faint smile still playing on her lips: "Miss Chen, don't make things up without proof."
The audience began to whisper among themselves, wondering how this farce would end.
At this moment, Fu Shuheng stepped forward, stood between the two, and said to Shen Siyao with a tone full of sarcasm: "Shen Siyao, that's enough! Last time you framed Xinyue for plagiarism, and this time you're using the same trick again. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"Is President Fu so protective of Jiang Xinyue perhaps trying to shield her?"
Chen Siyao snorted coldly, took out her phone, and pulled out the manuscript on it.
"Jiang Xinyue, look closely. Don't these design drafts look familiar? I designed these works before you even released them, and your works are 80% similar to mine. You still say you didn't plagiarize?"
Jiang Xinyue's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the photos and documents on Shen Siyao's phone.
"Aren't these my design drafts? How did they end up with you?"
Shen Siyao proudly waved her phone, a twisted smile on her face: "Jiang Xinyue, what do you mean, your design draft? This is clearly my design draft. Now the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
Jiang Xinyue recognized those design drafts; they were all works she had never published, and they were designed during the five years she had been married to Bo Jingcheng.
The fact that Shen Siyao had her design drafts on her phone suggests that there's only one possibility: Bo Jingcheng had been in contact with her for the past five years.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyue looked at Bo Jingcheng angrily, "Mr. Bo, shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?"
Bo Jingcheng felt inexplicably guilty, and he subconsciously lowered his head without saying a word.
These design drafts were indeed sent to Shen Siyao by him.
Back then, Chen Siyao also studied design abroad, but she lacked inspiration.
After Bo Jingcheng got together with Jiang Xinyue, he discovered that she was very talented in painting. At that time, he did not know that Linda was her.
He thought he would send Jiang Xinyue’s work to Shen Siyao to see, and perhaps she could find inspiration from it!
"Jiang Xinyue, stop trying to divert attention. The evidence is already very clear. Do you dare to say you didn't plagiarize my design?" Shen Siyao persisted, speaking with righteous indignation, as if Jiang Xinyue had truly plagiarized her work.
Fu Shuheng said angrily, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen a woman as shameless as you. These works are clearly Xin Yue's."
Fu Shuheng had been paying attention to Jiang Xinyue for many years. He could tell at a glance that her designs were clearly stolen by Shen Siyao.
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger and disappointment. She stared intently at Bo Jingcheng and said, word by word, "Bo Jingcheng, I want to hear you tell me yourself why my design draft is in her hands?"
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone held their breath, waiting for Bo Jingcheng's answer.
Bo Jingcheng opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, he was filled with regret, wishing he could turn back time and take back those foolish actions.
He never imagined that his unintentional act would be used by Shen Siyao to become a weapon to harm Jiang Xinyue.
Ignoring everything else, Shen Siyao continued to shout wildly, "Everyone saw it, right? Jiang Xinyue is in the wrong! She's a plagiarist!"
As he spoke, he glanced smugly at the audience, trying to gain their approval.
Just then, Bo Jingcheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head and said loudly, "Siyao, that's enough! I sent you these design drafts; they have nothing to do with Xinyue." Upon hearing this, Shen Siyao's smug expression instantly froze, and she looked at Bo Jingcheng in disbelief: "Jingcheng, what did you say? How could you speak up for her?"
Bo Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xinyue with a face full of guilt: "Xinyue, I'm sorry. Back then, Siyao was studying design abroad and had no inspiration. I... I saw that you had a talent for drawing, so I sent her your work, hoping she could find some inspiration. I really didn't know things would turn out like this."
Jiang Xinyue sneered: "Bo Jingcheng, you are really good at scheming. We have been married for five years, but you have given away my hard work to someone else and let her use it to slander me."
Fu Shuheng stepped forward, blocking Jiang Xinyue's path, and glared angrily at Bo Jingcheng: "Bo Jingcheng, you are truly shameless."
He then turned to look at Shen Siyao and said coldly, "Shen Siyao, you plagiarized someone else's work and then turned around and accused them. Just wait to face a lawsuit!"
Chen Siyao's legs went weak, and she staggered back a few steps, still trying to argue, "Impossible, Jingcheng, didn't you say you loved me? How could you betray me..."
Fu Shuheng immediately shouted, "Someone, throw this woman out!"
Before Chen Siyao could finish speaking, several security guards strode forward, grabbed her, and dragged her outside.
Chen Siyao struggled, shouting hoarsely, "Bo Jingcheng, you can't do this to me!"
Jiang Xinyue looked at Shen Siyao being taken away and couldn't help but say, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Shen Siyao, your retribution has begun."
Then, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said to the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, today's farce ends here. I, Jiang Xinyue, am willing to swear on my life that these designs are all original creations of the Shengshi Group team, and we will prove everything with our strength."
