Fu Heng then released Bo Jingcheng's hand and said disdainfully, "Bo Jingcheng, I advise you not to embarrass yourself here. With your fickle nature and the ambiguous relationship with Shen Siyao by your side, Xin Yue will only suffer if she follows you."
Bo Jingcheng glared at Fu Heng, "Fu Heng, stop pretending to be kind. You've been getting close to Jiang Xinyue just to suppress my Bo Group, haven't you?"
Fu Heng put his arm around Jiang Xinyue's shoulder in public, his eyes full of provocation, "So what if it is? Bo Jingcheng, you've already lost."
Jiang Xinyue didn't speak, but just looked coldly at Bo Jingcheng. The indifference in her eyes sent a chill down Bo Jingcheng's spine.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, the person in charge of the signing ceremony rushed over, all smiles, to smooth things over. "Everyone, today is a joyous occasion. Let's settle any issues privately and not ruin the harmony. Mr. Fu, Mr. Bo, please take your seats."
These two are both big spenders, and we can't afford to offend them, especially this President Fu, who booked the entire venue.
Bo Jingcheng took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and looked at Jiang Xinyue, saying, "Alright, when Linda arrives, Jiang Xinyue, we can talk about our business later."
"Linda?" Upon hearing this, Fu Heng smiled contemptuously. "Bo Jingcheng, you came to my Shengshi Group's signing ceremony today, you wouldn't happen to be hoping to reach a cooperation agreement with Linda, would you?"
"So what if it is? I'm determined to have Linda." Bo Jingcheng spoke with an air of superiority, as if he could get whatever he wanted.
Fu Heng glanced at Jiang Xinyue beside him and smiled, "Bo Jingcheng, you've already lost your chance."
"What do you mean by that?" Bo Jingcheng's eyes were filled with anger, and his voice was somewhat displeased.
Fu Heng remained silent, only looking tenderly at Jiang Xinyue, "Xinyue, let's go sit down!"
Jiang Xinyue nodded silently and followed Fu Heng to the guest seats below the stage.
Seeing this, Shen Siyao took Bo Jingcheng's arm and said ingratiatingly, "Jingcheng, don't pay attention to them, let's go over there quickly!"
Bo Jingcheng let Shen Siyao hold his arm, but he still stared intently at Jiang Xinyue and Fu Heng's backs, as if trying to see through them.
After the four people took their seats, the atmosphere seemed to return to calm on the surface, but undercurrents were swirling beneath.
Soon, the host took the stage and said in a loud voice, "Welcome everyone to the signing ceremony of our Shengshi Group. First of all, please welcome our General Manager Fu to the stage to give a speech."
Fu Heng stood up and walked steadily onto the stage. His gaze swept over the crowd below the stage, finally settling on Bo Jingcheng, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
"Thank you all for attending the signing ceremony of Shengshi Group today. Today is an important milestone for Shengshi Group..." Fu Heng spoke confidently and calmly on the stage.
Bo Jingcheng, sitting in the audience, had a gloomy face. Shen Siyao, who was next to him, tried to say something to ease his emotions, but Bo Jingcheng wouldn't listen at all.
After Fu Heng finished speaking, the host came back on stage.
"Next, let's welcome Ms. Linda, the designer we've signed today, to the stage!" The host's voice was full of enthusiasm.
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, and everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance to the stage.
Jiang Xinyue, dressed in an elegant gown, gracefully walked onto the stage.
The moment Bo Jingcheng saw Jiang Xinyue, his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"So Linda is Jiang Xinyue!" someone in the audience exclaimed.
"My God! How could Linda be Mrs. Bo?"
"What Mrs. Bo? She should be called Miss Jiang now. She's getting a divorce from Mr. Bo."
"This is impossible. How could Linda be Jiang Xinyue?" Shen Siyao also looked incredulous.
She was the most emotional of them all, leaping from her seat and shouting, "This is impossible! How could Linda be her? Jiang Xinyue, you're not an imposter, are you?"
Before the guests and media could react, Chen Siyao took the initiative.
"Everyone, Jiang Xinyue is definitely an imposter. She was my classmate in college. If I had known she was Linda, I would have exposed her long ago. Besides, I've seen all her designs. None of them are as exquisite as Linda's. She must be an imposter."
As soon as Chen Siyao finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar.
Fu Heng frowned and said coldly, "Miss Shen, you need evidence to speak. Xin Yue's design talent is obvious to all. How can you slander her so easily?"
Jiang Xinyue looked at Shen Siyao with a mocking gaze: "Shen Siyao, you really will stop at nothing to smear me."
Bo Jingcheng's face was also very ugly at this moment. He looked at Shen Siyao and said, "Siyao, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Bo Jingcheng wasn't helping her, Shen Siyao became anxious: "Jingcheng, I'm not lying, she's just an imposter."
At this moment, the media in the audience began taking pictures, and the scene became chaotic.
She left her seat and went to the stage, publicly accusing Jiang Xinyue, "Jiang Xinyue, you say you are Linda, what evidence do you have? If you can't produce any evidence, you are an imposter. You really went to great lengths to gain Jingcheng's trust. Even a big shot like President Fu was fooled by you."
Seeing that Shen Siyao was still slandering her, Jiang Xinyue clenched her fists, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, "Shen Siyao, you say I'm fake, what evidence do you have?"
Shen Siyao sneered: "Evidence? Just because I was your classmate for four years in college, I know you inside and out. Don't I know your design skills from before? To have achieved what you have today, what else could it be but an imposter?"
The murmurs from the audience grew louder and louder. Bo Jingcheng stood up and said, "Quiet down!"
The scene fell silent instantly. Bo Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xinyue and said, "Xinyue, as long as you can prove your identity, I will believe you."
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath and said, "All my design works are archived, including the creative process and sources of inspiration, which can serve as evidence. Moreover, my reputation and achievements in the design industry cannot be obtained by impersonation."
“That’s right, I believe in Xinyue. Her talent is undeniable.” Fu Heng took Jiang Xinyue’s hand and silently offered her warmth.
"Besides, do you think that I, the president of the prestigious Shengshi Group, would hire a fake Linda to sign a contract?"
Upon hearing this, the guests and reporters in the audience felt that Fu Heng's words made some sense. Wasn't this just ruining his own reputation?
Shengshi Group has no obligation to do so.
Seeing that everyone's attitude had changed, Shen Siyao became even more anxious: "Don't be fooled by her. She must have used some tricks to bewitch you. Moreover, President Fu is in cahoots with Jiang Xinyue. It's hard to guarantee that he won't protect her."
She persisted, turning to Jiang Xinyue: "Jiang Xinyue, then show us the evidence now! Prove it to everyone. Without evidence, you're an imposter."
