Qiao Mu’s face paled. If it was a fair competition, she would have been completely convinced that she had lost to Ning Tongtong. However, she had been accused of plagiarism!

How could Qiao Mu allow herself to be bullied?

She took a step forward and looked straight at Shu Xinyu. ” As a judge, aren’t you afraid that others will say that you’re biased towards your daughter by doing this? Even if my work is similar to Ning Tongtong’s, and the matter hasn’t been investigated clearly, if I’m a suspect, Ning Tongtong is also a suspect. We should all get o points! ”

Shu Xinyu’s face was cold. ” I’m a judge. Do I need you to teach me what to do? ”

Although Qiao Mu was confident, she could not casually reveal the truth. Even if she did, others would not believe her and could only suffer in silence.

This Shu Xinyu was really a competent stepmother. She was so protective of her daughter!

Below the stage, Li Yan’s face was gloomy, and the surrounding temperature dropped abruptly.

Ling Xi sat beside Li Yan, feeling uncomfortable from the cold. He asked tentatively, “” Big Brother, Sister-in-law is being bullied. Aren’t you going to help her? ”

Li Yan swept a cold glance at Ling Xi. ” Do you want everyone to think that Qiao

Mu is participating in the competition because of me? ”

Ling Xi was stunned. Li Yan had always been swift and decisive. He did whatever he wanted and did it based on his own thoughts, never caring about the consequences.

However, he was clearly angry now, yet he was suppressing his anger for Qiao Mu’s sake.

At this moment, Li Yan took out his phone and dialed Lei Yi’s number…

There was a halftime break.

Backstage, Qiao Mu rushed to Key and immediately defended herself. ‘”‘ Mr. Key, I didn’t plagiarize! ”

Key raised an eyebrow when he saw Qiao Mu’s nervous expression. ” So, it’s a coincidence? ”

“It’s not a coincidence!” Qiao Mu clenched her fists. ” Ning Tongtong plagiarized my work. Do you believe me? ”

Her words were affirmation, not just suspicion.

Key did not expect this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. Her big eyes were staring at him, and her black eyes were clear.

Key sat on the sofa and said slowly, ” If you want me to believe you, you should give me an explanation. ‘

Qiao Mu lowered her head and confessed that she was selling her design drafts. I only just found out that Ning Tongtong was the one who bought my design drafts. I was the one who designed her registered work, but she made some slight changes to it. ”

Key’s expression turned cold. ” Qiao Mu, you’re the one who doesn’t respect your own work. You asked for this situation. ”

” I know I was wrong, Teacher Key, please…”

Suddenly, the lounge door opened, and Shu Xinyu walked in. When she saw Key and Qiao Mu alone in the room, her lips curled up coldly. “”Key, Qiao Mu has openly submitted a plagiarized work to the competition. The original author wants to sue her for plagiarism! You won’t stop me, will you?”

Key smiled faintly. ” President Shu, what does this have to do with me? You should ask Ning Tongtong herself if she would stop it. ”

Qiao Mu stood at the side without batting an eyelid. She wanted to see what Ning Tongtong would do.

Ning Tongtong stepped forward and held Shu Xinyu’s arm, her tone gentle. ‘ Mom, forget it. Qiao Mu has already been eliminated anyway. She should have learned her lesson this time, so let’s not pursue this matter. ”

Shu Xinyu felt helpless. ” You’re just too kind. ”

Too kind?

Qiao Mu seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world as she sneered.. ” Ning Tongtong, when did you become so kind-hearted? Or are you feeling guilty?”
