Chapter 197 Seeking Justice
The entire venue fell silent for a full three seconds, then erupted in a cacophony of shock.
Seeing that Pete remained calm and composed, Shen Xiaofei suddenly realized what was going on.
"Oh, so you already knew Jiangning was BYC?"
Pete shrugged and smiled.
Of course he knew.
He was the one who discovered Jiangning's hidden gem on the university campus.
Bai Yichen was one of the few people who did not show any surprise.
He figured it out on his own.
Upon first seeing the design style of the "Piano" series, he guessed that the designer was Jiang Ning.
The only person he could think of who could combine a piano with a wheel and create a design with a sense of fragmentation was Jiang Ning.
That's why he chose the latest piano-themed music box as a gift for Jiang Ning when he returned.
Because he knew it was designed by Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning hadn't intended to reveal her identity as BYC during this restoration competition.
However, since Chu Qingxue and Fu Xinyue had pushed her to this point, she decided to go along with it.
She didn't want to reveal her identity before because of Bai Yichen.
The inspiration for her "Piano" series design came from Bai Yichen's car accident during her piano competition, which left her in a vegetative state.
At that time, she was in pain and blamed herself. She could not face the fact that Bai Yichen had become a vegetable, nor could she face the piano that she once loved most.
That's why she channeled all her frustrations into her designs.
The research and invention of the seamless fully hidden inlay technology for curved surfaces was also to realize her unique design concept.
Unexpectedly, her designs and craftsmanship became an instant hit, gaining recognition from the entire industry and consumers.
But it was precisely because of the fire that she didn't want to acknowledge BYC's identity.
She felt that it was as if Bai Yichen was lying in a hospital bed with his life hanging in the balance, while she was making a fortune off that inspiration.
But now she no longer has that concern.
Because Bai Yichen woke up, he stayed by her side.
Jiang Ning subconsciously turned his head and met Bai Yichen's gaze.
She believed that Bai Yichen would understand her thoughts.
Jiang Ning's gaze upon Bai Yichen was like the morning sun shining on a lake, shimmering and sparkling.
Not far away, Lu Junyan silently watched this scene.
His face was as cold as ice, but his eyes were as hot as fire.
Jiang Ning is BYC—the renowned design master in the world of haute couture jewelry.
Considering Jiang Ning's behavior after proposing a divorce, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
But before the patent was revealed, Lu Junyan had never thought in that direction.
Why?
For a long time, he had only regarded Jiang Ning as a full-time wife in the Lu family.
That's all.
Lu Junyan clenched his right hand into a fist.
So... just how little does he understand Jiang Ning?
After three years of marriage, what does he really know about Jiangning?
BYC……
Lu Junyan repeatedly pondered the three English letters in his mind, then suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.
At the same time, Chu Qingxue, Fu Xinyue, and the man Fu Xinyue brought were all dumbfounded.
Especially Chu Qingxue.
"No... impossible... impossible... Jiang Ning is BYC? How could Jiang Ning be BYC?!"
Chu Qingxue muttered to herself, her face looking like she had seen a ghost.
Jiang Ning took a step towards Chu Qingxue.
With each step she took, Chu Qingxue took a step back.
"I'm sorry, I'm neither an old man nor have I ever taken you as my disciple. Even if you keep calling me master, I still think you're not worthy!"
Chu Qingxue's face flushed red and then turned pale as Jiang Ning spoke.
Jiang Ning turned his head and glanced at Fu Xinyue again.
“That gentleman is not my lawyer either… Therefore, Ms. Fu, you and Chu Qingxue are suspected of fraud, defamation, infringement, and unfair competition. I will send someone to deliver a lawyer's letter to you later.”
Fu Xinyue never expected that standing up for Chu Qingxue would cause her so much trouble.
She turned and glared fiercely at Chu Qingxue, then snorted at Jiang Ning before leaving the venue indignantly.
Chu Qingxue was now isolated and helpless.
Everyone present was commenting on her and pointing fingers at her.
They said she couldn't even compare to Jiang Ning, who had an injured hand.
They said she was a liar, a complete liar.
Chu Qingxue wished she could cover her ears, but even that was useless; the way they looked at her said it all.
Chu Qingxue knew she was finished!
The original intention was to use this antique restoration competition to completely destroy Jiangning's business.
The result was that her career was destroyed.
And hers too...
Chu Qingxue looked at Lu Junyan with trepidation.
The moment their eyes met, she saw Lu Junyan turn his face away.
At this moment, Chu Qingxue felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, which chilled her to the bone.
What does she look like in Lu Junyan's eyes now?
loser?
A liar?
Scheming?
madness?
Crystal-clear tears welled up in her eyes, and Chu Qingxue covered her face as she ran out the door. She ran so fast that she twisted her ankle in her high heels.
Jiang Ning stared at Chu Qingxue's limping figure with icy eyes.
This is what they call reaping what you sow!
Only after Chu Qingxue's comical figure completely disappeared did Jiang Ning withdraw his gaze, turn around, and come face to face with Lu Junyan.
"Your hand is not injured."
Lu Junyan's voice was calm, and Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyelids.
Her hand was not injured, of course.
Even if she were a globally recognized design master, she would never have been able to perform so perfectly today if her hands had actually suffered comminuted fractures.
That night, Jiang Ning was followed by two cars.
Her intuition told her that the other party was after her and had come prepared.
Jiang Ning was very fortunate that she had a necklace she had designed for a client in her handbag at the time.
Because the client requested changes at the last minute, she put the finished product that was originally going to be delivered to the client back into her bag.
Jiang Ning's current car has too small an engine displacement and hasn't been modified, so it can't outrun the two German cars behind it.
So Jiang Ning contacted Bai Yichen while taking out the necklace from her bag, breaking it, and then rolling down the car window to throw the gemstones out.
As expected, those two cars should stop to pick them up.
At the very least, they will slow down and hesitate for a moment.
As it turns out, Jiang Ning made the right bet.
As the two cars behind her stopped, she stepped on the gas and swerved onto another side road, trying to create as much distance as possible from them.
Ultimately, her car was caught, but she abandoned it and hid in a gas station before that.
Bai Yichen eventually located her using GPS tracking and even caught one of the thugs who was chasing her.
Under Bai Yichen's coercion and enticement, the thugs revealed an account that had been used to contact them, and also disclosed that the other party demanded that they destroy Jiang Ning's hand.
The first person Jiang Ning thought of was Chu Qingxue.
Bai Yichen asked Jiang Ning what he wanted to do, and Jiang Ning thought of using a counter-strategy and going with the flow.
She pretended to have an injured hand, wanting to see what Chu Qingxue would do.
As expected, Chu Qingxue began to aggressively poach her clients.
He even challenged her to a live demonstration of restoring antique jewelry.
So Jiang Ning deliberately went to the competition with his hands wrapped in bandages.
She wanted to prove to industry insiders that Chu Qingxue was no match for her, even with her injured hand.
Everything had unfolded exactly as Jiang Ning had anticipated.
She just didn't expect Chu Qingxue to resort to desperate measures and falsely accuse her of copyright infringement.
As a result, she took the opportunity to reveal BYC's identity, which instead drove Chu Qingxue to a dead end.
Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan exchanged glances.
She wasn't surprised at all that Lu Junyan would approach her.
After all, she made Chu Qingxue lose so badly today. If Lu Junyan doesn't come to seek justice for Chu Qingxue, then he wouldn't be Lu Junyan.
