Chapter 203 Another Blow! Scandal Fully Exposed [3 Updates]
His words were laced with undisguised sarcasm.
The slap stunned Zhong Zhiwan, causing her to experience a momentary loss of hearing.
Before she could react, Ke Huizhu raised her hand again and slapped her on the left cheek.
"Don't you even consider whether you're worthy?"
Ke Huizhu hit him with all her might.
After those two slaps, Zhong Zhiwan's cheeks were swollen and her lip was cut.
People around stopped and pointed at Zhong Zhiwan from various countries.
“Ms. Ke.” Mrs. Zhong’s expression turned cold as she shielded Zhong Zhiwan behind her with one hand. “You’ve gone too far.”
Although this incident made her lose face, she really wanted to scold Zhong Zhiwan.
But Zhong Zhiwan is, after all, her daughter. How could Ke Huizhu slap her like that in front of her?
"I'm going too far?" Ke Huizhu sneered. "You're her mother, aren't you? The daughter you raised, right?"
"Your daughter single-handedly ruined the Ke family's embroidery. I didn't kill her; I only slapped her twice, which is already generous of me!"
In the capital, although the Ke family is only a medium-sized family, it is enough to rival the four major wealthy families in Shanghai, and they have many businesses.
In Ke Huizhu's generation, she and Madam Mu are the only daughters.
After Madam Mu married into the Mu family, she did not take over the Ke family's business, which is why Huaxiu ended up in Ke Huizhu's hands.
The better assets of the Ke family were taken by her other brothers.
Ke Huizhu originally hoped to use this fashion design competition to help Huaxiu soar to new heights and become an international design brand.
But now, it's uncertain whether anyone will still buy Huaxiu's products!
Ke Huizhu looked down at the mother and daughter with a contemptuous expression.
Madam Zhong's face was pale; an unprecedented sense of humiliation filled her mind.
Her chest heaved twice as she angrily shouted, "Zhong Zhiwan, apologize now!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Zhong Zhiwan, who had been holding back her tears all night, finally let them fall. She cried so hard she could hardly breathe. "I don't know, I don't know anything."
"What a joke!" Ke Huizhu felt disgusted just looking at her. "I don't believe you didn't know you plagiarized. Stop spouting empty promises. Let me tell you, as long as there's one member of the Ke family in the capital, you can forget about ever setting foot in the capital's social circles again!"
"You also have to compensate for Huaxiu's losses."
After saying those two sentences, Ke Huizhu pulled the young man beside her and walked forward.
After taking a few steps, it seemed as if he remembered something.
She stopped, turned around, and sneered, "Zhong Zhiwan, the dress you're wearing costs nine hundred thousand, so include that in the price."
Zhong Zhiwan just cried and didn't dare to say a word.
The young man laughed: "Auntie, why don't you give her to me..."
"Shut your mouth!" Ke Huizhu was furious and slapped him on the back. "I haven't settled accounts with you for that little star you created."
Just then, Luo Ziyue ran out, holding up her skirt, looking very flustered: "Young Master Ke, please help me, you must help me! They're digging up dirt on me. If you don't help me, I can't stay here any longer."
Upon hearing this, the young man abandoned his lustful desires and immediately distanced himself from her, saying, "Auntie, let's go back to the capital quickly."
He ignored Luo Ziyue and got into the car with Ke Huizhu.

The capital city, the Mu family.
Mrs. Mu had already gone to rest when she received Ke Huizhu's call, and her heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly peeled off her face mask, turned on her phone, and downloaded Weibo from the app store.
As soon as you enter, you see those same few trending topics.
Madam Mu's expression changed instantly.
With a cold expression, she called Zhong Manhua.
“Manhua, your niece from your maternal family is really bold. She even dared to deceive me. I originally wanted to give her a chance to enter the capital, but who knew she would embarrass herself in front of the whole world.”
“You take Chen Zhou to your home right now. No matter how bad your adopted daughter’s character is, she’s still better than a plagiarist. I can’t let my son have any more contact with this kind of person.”
Without waiting for Zhong Manhua's response, Madam Mu hung up the phone, looking worried.
The Mu family couldn't possibly be unaware of what happened to the Ke family.
A few days ago, Mu Chengke, as Mu Heqing's representative, personally stated that Mu Heqing was going to choose an heir.
She was afraid that this matter would have some impact on Mu Chenzhou.
Madam Mu couldn't sleep anymore, so she put on her shawl and went out of the room.
**
The next day.
The commotion on Weibo is only getting bigger.
This matter concerns the international community, and netizens are paying close attention.
Soon, Zhong Zhiwan's information was exposed.
This revelation shocked netizens.
The eldest daughter of the Zhong family in Shanghai.
He was first in his grade at Qingzhi Middle School.
With a good family background, good looks, and decent academic performance, why did she choose this path?
[This Zhong family seems familiar. A few months ago, didn't they have some kind of performance-based agreement with a foreign company?]
[I remember, I remember, Jadeite Studio! Yao Zhi has jadeite from Jadeite Studio.]
I also remember that the Zhong family won their bet because of their cousin. I just want to ask, why would this eldest daughter do something like this?
Just as Zhong Zhiwan had expected, her name spread to various countries overnight.
On the internet, there are also comments about her from various media outlets.
One part regret, nine parts disgust.
Luo Ziyue was still not widely known, but her situation was no better than Zhong Zhiwan's.
Netizens have uncovered all the evidence of her diva-like behavior, bullying her roommates on "Youth 101," and cheating on the votes on the final night of the group's formation.
It spread across the entire internet in one night.
Without the Ke family's protection, these damning allegations simply couldn't be suppressed.
Luo Ziyue's company also quickly terminated its contract with her and severed ties.
This time, she was completely blacklisted.
Nie Chao still remembered the name. He was always quite vengeful, and was in a great mood at the moment: "Seventh Young Master, Boss, do you think she deserved it? Let her steal my chair, humph!"
As he spoke, he turned around and found that neither of the two people across the table paid any attention to him.
I don't know what they're doing, but they're standing pretty close together.
Dudu, standing next to her, pouted her pink little nose and said, "Hmph!"
Nie Chao: "..."
He felt the pig was mocking him, but he had no proof.
but……
He touched his chin, wondering if the two of them had finally made some progress.
However, what Nie Chao didn't see was that there was a cell phone in front of the girl.
The phone screen displayed a voting interface with pictures of many celebrities.
"Have you cast your vote yet?" Ying Zijing clicked the vote again. "You get twenty votes every hour, so remember to vote. Don't let us surpass you."
"Alright." Fu Yunshen leaned back, his handsome face as captivating as ever. His eyebrows were relaxed, and he curled his lips. "Little kid, you really only know how to bully me."
Only she dared to let him do these things.
Ying Zijin rested her chin on her hand, turned her head upon hearing this, and did not deny it.
The girl's eyes were misty and shimmering.
Like a cool spring, shimmering and sparkling under the moonlight.
Her beauty is very striking, but not in a seductive way.
Yet, when she gazes at you with such a cold and aloof look, devoid of any emotion, it is utterly captivating.
It does not allow anyone to easily break free.
Willing to succumb to depravity.
When are you leaving?
"You don't need to bring anything the day after tomorrow, everything there is provided."
"What? What? What?" Nie Chao perked up his ears. "Where are you two going? You're already on your honeymoon?"
"Honeymoon? I don't know." Fu Yunshen slowly rolled up his sleeves, his voice low and gentle, his long, narrow eyes as deep as the night, with a faint light flickering within them. "I know you'll get beaten up."
"..."

Grandpa Zhong hasn't checked Weibo yet today.
Because Shang Yaozhi unintentionally brought a batch of goods with him, Zhong's Group's business has been doing very well for the past few months.
At Mr. Zhong's age, he should have been retired by now.
But for some reason, he got more and more enthusiastic as he worked.
He went home at noon.
As soon as he entered, Butler Zhong said anxiously, "Master, something has happened. The young lady has plagiarized someone else's design, and it's already been exposed on the internet."
Grandpa Zhong's expression changed: "What's going on?"
As she handed him the phone, Butler Zhong briefly recounted the events.
Grandpa Zhong slammed his hand on the table.
He wasn't just angry, but more worried: "Where is Wanwan now? When did she go to O Continent? And why is she participating in a design competition?!"
Mrs. Zhong said at the time that she saw that Zhong Zhiwan was under a lot of academic pressure recently and wanted to take her out to relax, so she asked the school for a few days off.
Grandpa Zhong agreed.
“Miss should still be in O Continent,” Butler Zhong said hurriedly. “I just called Madam, but she didn’t answer.”
Grandpa Zhong was so angry he felt dizzy, clutching his chest: "Tell them to come back quickly."
He was worried that Zhong Zhiwan, under the instigation of Madam Zhong, might do something she would regret.
But he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Moreover, this matter involves the Ke family, Chuguang Media, and designers both domestically and internationally, not to mention that Zhong Zhiwan made a serious mistake.
If it's anything else, he'll protect you no matter how difficult it is.
But this time it won't work.
In an instant, Grandpa Zhong seemed to have aged several years.
"Yes, sir." Butler Zhong nodded and hurried off again.
Grandpa Zhong opened the trending topics and was looking at the new messages.
[@TheTopLeakAnalystOnline: A helpful netizen submitted a post saying that the designer of Huaxiu this time is a repeat offender. She has done this before, stealing her cousin's work. The details are as follows.]
The image below is from the Qingzhi Middle School campus forum.
500,000 words already! Please throw a sweet monthly ticket into my bowl, give Emperor Ying and Young Master Fu some sugar, it's so tragic.JPG
Today's word count is still 9,000 (don't say I'm slow!).
