Chapter 193: Friendship Between Generations
Chi Muzhen frowned and looked at Huo Yunting, "Why did you bring me here?!"
"Chi Xuan is in there now. You can go ask her if it's the design I gave her."
When the two walked into the living room, several people were having dinner.
When she saw Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting, surprise flashed in Mrs. Huo's eyes.
"Zhenbao, Yunting, why are you here today?"
Chi Xuan and Huo Tianyi were sitting on the left side of Old Lady Huo. Upon hearing this, they turned their heads and looked towards the door.
Seeing Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting holding hands tightly together, Chi Xuan looked away expressionlessly.
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "Grandma, I heard that my cousins were having dinner at your place tonight. I happened to have something to ask them, so I came over."
"I haven't eaten yet. I asked the kitchen to add two pairs of chopsticks."
"No, we'll leave after we ask."
As he spoke, Huo Yunting's cold gaze fell on Chi Xuan.
"Zhenzhen and I have something to ask you."
Chi Xuan put down her chopsticks and said, "If it's about MY plagiarism, I have nothing to say."
"How did you get Fan Rao's design drawings?"
Facing Huo Yunting's cold gaze, Chi Xuan felt a hint of fear in her heart, and her hands hanging by her side unconsciously clenched.
"I don't understand what you are saying."
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly, "Do you not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
As he finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell into silence.
Under Huo Yunting's powerful pressure, Chi Xuan's face gradually turned pale.
Suddenly, Huo Tianyi next to him spoke.
"Yun Ting, it's your sister-in-law's company that copied Jinxiu's design. You should ask the designer from your sister-in-law's company to apologize instead of coming here to interrogate my fiancée!"
Huo Yunting's eyes suddenly became even colder. "Chi Xuan should know exactly who copied whom!"
Huo Tianyi chuckled, "Do you have any evidence? You're forcing my fiancée without any evidence to prove that Jinxiu plagiarized MY. That's really going too far!"
Mrs. Huo, who was standing by, heard the whole thing and frowned, "What's going on? What can't be resolved as a family? Why make such a fuss?!"
Huo Yunting looked at Old Madam Huo and said calmly, "Grandma, please don't interfere in this matter. We will handle it ourselves."
Old Madam Huo frowned. Huo Yunting and Huo Tianyi were both her grandsons, and it would be inappropriate for her to take sides with either of them. She simply stood up and said, "I'm old too. I can't control you. Do whatever you want!"
After saying that, Mrs. Huo left the restaurant.
Huo Tianyi glanced at the chicken soup that Old Lady Huo hadn't touched. His eyes flashed, and he said to the servant indifferently, "Grandma has a bad stomach and didn't eat much just now. Send the chicken soup to Grandma's room."
"OK."
After the servant left with the chicken soup, Huo Tianyi pulled Chi Xuan up and said coldly, "Yun Ting, I hope you can bring evidence to question my fiancée next time, otherwise don't blame me for disregarding our brotherly feelings!"
Before Huo Yunting could speak, Chi Muzhen spoke up, "Cousin, this is originally a matter between Chi Xuan and me. You shouldn't be involved. I want to talk to Chi Xuan alone. Can you please leave for a while?"
Huo Tianyi smiled, but his voice was dull.
"I'm sorry, Xuanxuan is pregnant now, and I don't feel comfortable with her being alone with others."
A hint of shyness flashed across Chi Xuan's face. "Tianyi, it's okay. Sister won't do anything to me. Go wait for me outside. I'll talk to you for a while."
Huo Tianyi nodded and said, "Okay, if you have any questions, just call my name, I'll be outside."
"good."
Soon, Huo Tianyi and Huo Yunting left.
Chi Xuan smiled and looked at Chi Muzhen, "Sister, what do you want to say to me?"
"Chi Xuan, you stole the blueprints but didn't know you stole the final version. You only stole the first revised version. You're not even qualified to be a thief. No wonder Jinxiu is getting worse and worse in your hands."
Chi Xuan's expression turned extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Chi Muzhen, stop slandering me. What right do you have to accuse me of stealing MY's design? It's clearly MY who plagiarized Jinxiu's design!"
Seeing her unrepentant look, Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find evidence to prove that Jinxiu plagiarized MY!"
Chi Xuan's eyes were full of mockery. "Everyone can talk big, but whether they can do it or not is not certain."
Chi Muzhen didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
After getting in the car, Huo Yunting looked at her and asked, "Have I been cleared of suspicion?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry."
There was a flash of surprise in Huo Yunting's eyes. He didn't expect Chi Muzhen to apologize suddenly.
"What did Chi Xuan say?"
Chi Muzhen shook her head. "She didn't say anything."
"Then why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"
"Because I didn't trust you enough and doubted you for the smallest thing, I felt guilty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunting held him in his arms.
"No need to apologize. It's because I didn't do well enough that you didn't trust me enough."
His low and gentle voice sounded in her ears. Chi Muzhen's eyes suddenly felt a little sore, and she reached out to hug him back.
"I will never be so sensitive again."
Huo Yunting chuckled and said slowly, "It doesn't matter. I like you no matter what you are."
After calming down, Chi Muzhen stepped out of his arms, lowered her eyes and said, "Let's go back."
Seeing the pink on her cheeks, Huo Yunting smiled and started the car.
As soon as the two returned to the villa and finished dinner, the public opinion on the Internet changed dramatically.
Chen Tian quickly contacted Chi Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, Jinxiu provided a design draft that was earlier than Fan Rao's first draft. Now everyone on the internet is saying that MY plagiarized, and Jinxiu said they will formally sue MY!"
A cold light flashed in Chi Muzhen's eyes. "I understand. I'll take a look first."
After ending the call, Chi Muzhen immediately opened Weibo and saw that MY and Jinxiu were on the hot search again. Chi Muzhen immediately clicked on it.
The time for the first draft given by Jinxiu was indeed a whole month earlier than Fan Rao's first draft!
Chi Muzhen's expression was cold. Judging from the timeline given by Jinxiu, it can be basically determined that Fan Rao had plagiarized.
However, the clothes produced by Jinxiu were modified by her and were not the original version designed by Fan Rao. From this point of view, it can be proved that it was Jinxiu's people who got the design drawings that she modified.
But how they managed to complete the so-called "first draft" a month earlier than Fan Rao's first draft needs to be investigated.
If we find out this, we can prove that Jinxiu plagiarized MY.
She saved the picture posted on Jinxiu’s official Weibo account and sent it to Damai on WeChat.
【Check if there is any problem with the time of this photo. 】
After receiving an OK gesture from the other party, Chi Muzhen put down his phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
On the other side, the Fan family.
As soon as Mr. Fan returned home, he called Fan Rao into the study with anger on his face.
"What's with the internet saying you plagiarized Jinxiu's design?"
He invited a client to dinner tonight, and the client mentioned this matter to him vaguely. Fan Rong only then learned about it and immediately felt ashamed.
Fan Rao's eyes were red. She had cried several times because of this matter.
"I don't know either. I didn't plagiarize. Someone from Jinxiu stole my design draft at some point!"
Hearing this, Fan Rong frowned and said coldly, "Stay home for the time being and don't go out. We can talk about this after we have thoroughly investigated the matter."
"Yeah, I understand."
Walking out of the study, the servant came up to Fan Rao with a black box.
"Miss, this is your delivery."
Fan Rao took the box, turned around and went straight upstairs.
Returning to the bedroom, she opened the black box and saw what was inside. Her face suddenly became extremely ugly and she turned and ran to the bathroom to vomit.
Inside the box was a dead mouse and a piece of paper.
[This is just the beginning. You copycats don't deserve to live in this world. Next time, it won't be the rats I kill, but you!]
…
When Chi Muzhen came out of the shower, she saw that Chen Tian had called her more than a dozen times and sent her many messages.
She was about to call back when Shen Tian’s message came again.
The moment he saw the content of the message, Chi Muzhen's fingers suddenly froze.
