Chapter 109 Ruined Everything
"According to the bet, I hope you can voluntarily get out of the fashion design industry."
"If you can't do it..."
Sang Wan smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"I will instruct my lawyer to formally sue you for theft of trade secrets and malicious defamation."
"We'll see you in court then."
The moment the words fell, Song Ziqian screamed.
"You dare."
She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with all her fur standing up. She held the flower album in one hand and supported Song Xinran with the other.
"If you hadn't pestered Lu Tingzhou, how could my sister have ended up in this situation today?"
Just when her emotions were out of control and her mind was in turmoil——
A figure flashed by like lightning.
Su Mo had already spotted the opportunity.
She rushed forward and took advantage of the moment when Song Ziqian was stunned to pull hard with her arm.
The album is in hand.
"Bah! Wasn't Lu Tingzhou clear enough? He has nothing to do with your sister. He was taking care of you and made a mistake. It's hard to be a good person."
"Give it back to me." Song Ziqian reacted and screamed as she tried to snatch it.
But Su Mo had already retreated swiftly back to Sang Wan, holding the album, with his chin raised high.
"It's back to its rightful owner, the imposter."
Under the double blow, Song Xinran's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
She didn't expect that Sun Meixi would set a trap for her.
I thought I was going to make trouble for Sang Wan, but I ended up shooting myself in the foot.
She looked at Sang Wan, at the picture album in Su Mo's arms, and then at the countless flashing cameras and people's contemptuous gazes around her.
It's over.
It's all over.
Everything she had worked so hard to build was destroyed today.
Great humiliation and unwillingness filled her mind.
"Not me."
She screamed hysterically, her voice shrill, no longer the pitiful look she had just now.
"It was given to me by the eldest wife of the Lu family, Sun Meixi."
"She said it was a grand opening gift for me. I liked it, so I used it."
Earth-shattering.
If the plagiarism just now was an industry scandal, then at this moment, Song Xinran's words were like a depth bomb dropped directly into the backyard of the wealthy family.
The eldest wife of the Lu family?
Lu Tingzhou’s sister-in-law?
The reporters went crazy.
Public opinion online instantly shifted from the term #Song Xinran plagiarized# to #internal strife within the wealthy Lu family# and #Lu Tingzhou's fiancée suspected of being suppressed by her in-laws#.
This melon is so big!
Sang Wan's eyes turned cold.
She just knew it.
How could someone like Song Xinran be willing to perish alone?
Before dying, I want to take someone with me.
The purpose of bringing up Sun Meixi was, firstly, to divert the focus from the "plagiarism" accusation, and secondly, to reveal that she was not accepted by the wealthy family.
Sure enough, one of the sharpest entertainment reporters immediately pointed the microphone at her.
"Ms. Sang Wan, is what Song Xinran said true?"
"Does this mean that the Lu family does not accept your existence?"
"Will your marriage with Mr. Lu be affected by this?"
Each question is more acute than the last and goes straight to the point.
Su Mo was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by Sang Wan's eyes.
Sang Wan, surrounded by countless cameras, was not at all embarrassed. Instead, she calmly lifted the loose hair hanging by her ears.
The movements are elegant and the demeanor is calm and composed.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice was not loud, but extremely firm.
"The person I want to marry is Lu Tingzhou."
She paused, her eyes scanning the room.
“Not the Lu family.”
In a word, it is concise and domineering.
She and Lu Tingzhou are an independent entity and are not attached to any large family.
After she finished speaking, she turned her cold eyes to Song Xinran, who was already a little dazed.
"I don't know any Mrs. Lu."
Her voice was calm, as if she was stating a simple fact.
"If you feel wronged, you think I framed you."
“It’s very simple.”
The corner of Sang Wan's mouth curled up into a very faint, almost cruel smile.
"We can take legal action."
"Let the police investigate how this album ended up in your hands."
No matter which way.
Song Xinran's studio can no longer operate today.
This farce undoubtedly pushed herself into an abyss of no return.
Sang Wan didn't stay any longer.
She took Su Mo's arm and left calmly in a path that the reporters spontaneously made way for.
What was left behind were the pale faces of the Soong sisters and the mess on the ground.
***
"call--"
Coming out of the suffocating studio, Su Mo breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relaxed all over.
The sun is shining and the breeze is not dry.
"Wanwan, you were so handsome just now!"
"Song Xinran's face is like a color palette, sometimes blue, sometimes white. Hahahaha, it's so satisfying!"
Sang Wan was amused by her, and the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes melted away a bit of warmth.
"I got the manuscript back, and I swatted that annoying fly to death. Most importantly..."
Su Mo looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"We haven't even officially opened yet, and we've already gotten a free nationally broadcast advertisement."
Sang Wan nodded, and she was indeed in a good mood.
After this incident, her studio became popular before it even opened.
Everyone knows that Sang Wan is about to open her own studio.
But she was also a little worried. What happened today was undoubtedly equivalent to officially declaring war on Sun Meixi.
Lu Tingzhou is easy to deal with, but Lu Jinxuan...
He is very kind and he is in a difficult position being caught in the middle.
***
at the same time.
A black Porsche stopped at the entrance of Chengxi Police Station.
Xu Mingyue walked down wearing huge sunglasses and looked impatient.
She had originally made an appointment to attend Song Xinran's opening ceremony and make friends with some celebrities and noble ladies.
As a result, before he even left the house, he received a call from the police.
She said her father was released today and asked him to go and pick her up.
Thinking that I still have to rely on this old man for money to maintain my glamorous life, no matter how reluctant I am, I have to come here.
Xu Shiming thought a lot inside and felt that he must keep a low profile this time.
"Yueyue, next time you see Sang Wan, avoid her and don't provoke her again, otherwise no one will be able to save us later."
Xu Mingyue glanced at him and wondered if her cowardice was without reason.
The two just returned home.
A courier came over.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xu Shiming?"
Xu Shiming was stunned for a moment, "I am."
"Here's a package for you. It arrived yesterday, but you weren't at home."
The courier handed over a document bag and a receipt.
"The sender specifically instructed that this document is very important and must be signed for by you in person."
Xu Shiming signed for it with full of doubts.
Who would send him something?
Xu Mingyue didn't take it seriously and carried his things to the living room.
Xu Shiming signed doubtfully and took the thin file bag.
Tear open the seal.
A few A4 papers and a stack of photos slid out from inside.
Xu Shiming looked down.
In the photo, Lin Lan is holding a swaddled baby and smiling gently and peacefully.
In the following photo, Lin Lan was smiling wantonly and behaving intimately with a man, and Xu Shiming froze instantly.
The person he had been trying to curry favor with had actually been together with his wife for a long time.
And those pieces of paper...
It's a paternity test report.
After seeing the contents clearly, the document bag in Xu Shiming's hand fell to the ground with a "click".
His legs went limp and he sat down straight on the ground with a thump.
His eyes were wide open and he didn't react for a long time.
Everything around him was fading, and his mind was filled with only ambiguous photos and the glaring conclusion of the paternity test.
The son he treasured was not his own, but Wang Sheng's.
Xu Shiming stared at the things on the ground and laughed twice, as if he had just seen a joke.
"dad?"
Xu Mingyue's voice seemed to come from far away, with a hint of impatience.
She had already picked up her car keys and was ready to go to the socialite's afternoon tea.
But when she turned around, she saw her useless father sitting on the steps at the door like a fool.
But that silly look made her feel inexplicably nervous.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
She walked over with a frown, bent down, and reached out to take what was in his hand.
"What the hell is this..."
The moment your fingertips touch the paper.
"Don't move."
Xu Shiming suddenly came to his senses and yelled at Xu Mingyue.
Then he stuffed the papers and photos into his arms and stood up shakily.
Xu Mingyue was startled by him and was about to scold him when she saw Xu Shiming rushing out.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Xu Mingyue chased for two steps, and Xu Shiming had already started the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, the tires making a harsh sound on the ground.
***
The car stopped suddenly outside a villa.
Xu Shiming stared into the courtyard with his scarlet eyes.
really.
The black Mercedes that he was so familiar with was parked there.
Wang Sheng’s car.
The man who had been exploiting him, threatening him, and destroying everything he had turned out to be his wife's mistress.
Humiliation and anger exploded in his chest.
He pushed open the car door and stumbled out.
Looking around, searching for something.
His sight finally fell on the grass beside the villa wall.
There, there was a piece of wood left over from the renovation.
There was a row of long, rusty nails embedded on it.
