Ning Tongtong frowned. â Qiao Mu, why are you like this? Iâm speaking up for you! â
âAre you speaking up for me or yourself? You know very well who plagiarized who!â
An Ting, who was watching from the side, couldnât help but laugh out loud. â
Qiao Mu, you really dare to boast. Could it be that Tongtong plagiarized you? I
knew it. How could your work be so outstanding? So youâre an expert at plagiarism!â
Qiao Mu looked over coldly. â Shut up! You have no right to speak here! â âYouâ¦â An Ting was furious.
Ning Tongtong snorted coldly. â Qiao Mu, why are you so ungrateful?! â
Looking at Ning Tongtongâs hypocritical expression, Qiao Mu naturally understood that it was absolutely impossible for her to admit to plagiarism!
Ning Tongtong was even more scheming than she had imagined. Looking at Shu Xinyuâs expression, she seemed to be completely clueless. She had probably always thought that Ning Tongtong, this stepdaughter, was kind and capable!
Shu Xinyu looked at Qiao Muâs cold eyes with disdain. â Tongtong, you canât be lenient toward such a person! If we donât teach her a lesson this time, sheâll take advantage of the loophole next time! â
How could Ning Tongtong be willing to expand this matter? If things got out of hand, it wouldnât do her any good!
If it ended in time, not only would Qiao Mu bear the name of plagiarism, but she would also gain more attention in the competition. It would only benefit her, and no matter how Qiao Mu quibbled, it would be useless.
If they really wanted to sue Qiao Mu for plagiarism, then the matter would blow up and the truth would be exposed. The result would only be her reputation being ruined!
Ning Tongtong glanced at Qiao Mu and whispered to Shu Xinyu, Mom, forget it. Qiao Mu is just a student. Besides, if this matter blows up, it wonât be good for the competitionâs reputation.
Ning Tongtong looked at Key. â Key is honest, donât you think so? â
Key shrugged. â You donât have to think about me. I donât care. â
Ning Tongtong originally thought that Key could speak up for Qiao Mu, but she never expected him to actually stay out of it!
Ning Tongtong continued to persuade her. â Mom, what if things get out of hand? Someone will target me and say that I relied on you to get promoted. Itâll be bad for the company and my reputation. â
Shu Xinyu thought about it and felt that Ning Tongtong was right. After all, her company had invested in this competition. If there was negative news, it might implicate the company.
Shu Xinyu nodded. â Itâs fine if we donât sue Qiao Mu, but we have to make her declare that her work plagiarized the Tong brand! â
âDream on!â Qiao Mu answered without thinking, â President Shu, even if you love your daughter dearly, donât distort the truth! â
Shu Xinyuâs face darkened. â Qiao Mu, weâre kind enough to let you off this time. Youâ¦â
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the door. â Who let who off? â Everyone looked at the door and saw a tall figure walking in leisurely.
The manâs hands were in his pockets, and his expression was cold. There was a faint smile on his handsome face, but there was a chill in his dark eyes that no man could look straight into.
Qiao Mu watched as the man walked toward her step by step. His bone-chilling gaze turned gentle the moment it landed on her.
Qiao Mu could tell that this man was angry. It had been a long time since she had seen him look so scary.
She had wanted to show him her best form in this match so that she could show off to him and enjoy his praise afterward.
However, she still messed it up..
