Lin Qingqian seemed to sense her gaze and turned her head to look. There was no fluctuation in her calm eyes, but she raised the champagne glass in her hand to toast her.
Li Ruzhu snorted coldly and thought that she was trying her best to save face. She must be gritting her teeth in hatred.
Thinking of this, she felt much better.
After all the models finished their walk, the lights in the banquet hall lit up. The emcee invited the designer to go on stage…
Yu Lian walked onto the stage and bowed to the guests, smiling brightly. The emcee handed him the microphone and was about to interview him when the tightly carved door was suddenly pushed open and four people walked in.
“May I ask who is Mr. Yu Lian?” The young man walking in front asked indifferently.
For a moment, everyone’s gazes were attracted to him, and they whispered about his identity.
On stage, Yu Lian was also dumbfounded. He held the microphone and coughed drvlv. “I’m Yu Lian. Mav I ask who vou are?”
The man in a black suit moved his slender legs, and the guests at the scene automatically stepped back to make way for him.
He stopped in front of Yu Lian and said in a cold and formal voice, “My surname is Liang, Liang Yi. I’m a lawyer from Tsunami Law Firm.”
Liang Yi. Anyone who was not deaf or stupid would have heard of his name.
In the past two years, he had been the most famous lawyer in Lan City. It was said that he had never lost a case. Countless corporations wanted to hire him as a legal consultant.
However, he rejected all of them and opened an independent law firm. The cases he took on would be resolved beautifully for the person involved every time.
Of course, his lawyer fees were also outstanding and ridiculously expensive.
But he appeared here tonight. Clearly, something big was about to happen.
Everyone at the event location revealed excited gazes. On the stage, when Yu Lian heard the name “Liang Yi” , his eyes immediately widened and he looked at Li Ruzhu below the stage for help.
Li Ruzhu looked at Lin Qingqian not far away. She had a feeling that Lin Qingqian was the one who brought Liang Yi over to ruin the scene.
Lin Qingqian seemed to not know that Li Ruzhu was looking at her. Her red lips curled into a smile as she looked at Yu Lian on the stage.
Seeing that he was silent, Liang Yi turned around and gave his assistant a look.
The assistant quickly handed him a white envelope.
Liang Yi took the envelope and handed it to Yu Lian. “On behalf of my client, Miss Lin Qingqian, and Shi Guang Studio, I’ve officially submitted a lawsuit accusing you of plagiarizing my client, Miss Lin’s, design drafts and damaging Shi Guang Studio’s interests. This is the court’s notice.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar. Their gazes instantly gathered on Lin Qingqian.
Lin Qingqian’s expression was indifferent.
Yu Lian’s face was as pale as paper. He kept shaking his head and said agitatedly, “No, I didn’t. You’re slandering me!!”
He looked at Lin Qingqian with hatred. “I didn’t plagiarize her. She plagiarized me!”
Liang Yi’s expression was cold. He slapped the notice on his chest and didn’t care if he took it or not. He said in a formal tone, “Save the accusation of plagiarism for the courtroom. ”
With that, he turned around and walked off the stage, walking in front of Lin
Qingqian. “Miss Lin, I’ll handle this case fully. Don’t worry.”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Sorry to trouble you, Lawyer Liang.”
“You’re welcome,” Liang Yi said calmly. As long as the money was enough, it would not be a problem.
“Lawyer Liang, could you also help me sue Miss Li Ruzhu? She bribed my assistant to get the clothes that Designer Lin sent to me, which caused misunderstandings between Designer Lin and me and severely damaged my reputation.” said Li Wenwen in a gentle but firm voice.
Liang Yi nodded. “No problem, Miss Li. These two cases are related to each other to begin with. I can deal with them together.”
Li Wenwen smiled faintly. “Thank you, Lawyer Liang.”
“You’re welcome! If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first!” With that, Liang Yi left the event location with his people.
The atmosphere at the event location fell into a dead silence.
Yu Lian stood on the runway with the microphone in his hand. It was as awkward as it could be. The emcee was even more embarrassed than him. He felt that his career was over.
“Designer Yu didn’t plagiarize!” Li Ruzhu lifted her skirt and walked onto the stage. She said loudly, “We’ll hire a lawyer to handle this matter fully. In addition, we’ll also sue Lin Qingqian for damaging our reputation.”
Everyone’s gazes lingered between the two of them, feeling like they had eaten a huge melon.
Lin Qingqian smiled, her voice clear and firm. “I’ll accompany you to the end.”
Before Li Ruzhu could speak, she heard a shout. “Damn!” Everyone’s gazes landed on the rich socialite who shouted.
“If I had known that you were the one who invested in this brand, I wouldn’t have come!” Ling Shuang’s face was filled with anger and disdain. “Plagiarizing piece of trash.”
“Ling Shuang, Designer Yu didn’t…”
Before Li Ruzhu could finish quibbling, Ling Shuang interrupted coldly,
“Whether he did it or not, would you be clearer than him on this?”
Li Ruzhu and Yu Lian’s expressions turned ugly. They originally wanted to take this opportunity to repair their relationship with Ling Shuang, but they did not expect…
Ling Shuang couldn’t even be bothered to look at her. She said in a lazy and arrogant tone, “If I had known earlier, I would have gone to 1942 to drink.
Sisters, let’s go.”
The few sisters in the same circle followed her lead, so they naturally went with her.
Ling Shuang turned around and met Lin Qingqian’s eyes for a second. Without any reaction, she turned around and left.
Lin Qingqian turned her head and said, “Let’s go too.”
Li Wenwen held her slender wrist. “Alright.”
Ling Shuang brought the few sisters to her sports car. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Qingqian walking out from afar and couldn’t help but take another look at her clothes.
“Princess Shuang, what are you looking at?” the little sister asked curiously.
Ling Shuang retracted her gaze and said in a nonchalant tone, “It’s nothing.
Her clothes look pretty good.”
“It’s indeed good-looking! But didn’t you play well with Li Ruzhu in the past? Why are you helping Lin Qingqian tonight?” The sister asked again.
“Anyone can play well with the daughter of a nouveau riche!” Ling Shuang snorted coldly and said proudly, “I didn’t help Lin Qingqian. I just can’t stand that Li Ruzhu. A pheasant wants to climb onto a branch and become a phoenix!”
The sisters laughed at the same time. “Alright, let’s go drink. The show tonight was too boring.”
“Alright.” Ling Shuang started the car and sped away.
Lin Qingqian and Li Wenwen got into the huge van and gave the driver the address of Begonia Courtyard.
The car drove steadily on the road. The light and shadows outside the window flashed in from time to time, illuminating Lin Qingqian’s delicate and upright facial features.
Li Wenwen couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How do you know that the spy came from my team?”
Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “I already suspected it when the plagiarism incident happened last time, but I didn’t have enough evidence. Moreover, it’s your team. I can’t accuse anyone for no reason.”
“What about this time?” Li Wenwen asked again.
“Light Feather is a series of products derived from ‘Love’s Haven’. Your temperament is the most compatible with this series, so I sent some of the design drafts to you to keep a secret.”
Lin Qingqian said softly, “You definitely won’t leak my design drafts. The person who can see the designer drafts must be the person you trust the most.
If it’s not your manager, then it can only be your assistant.”
Li Wenwen’s eyes lit up as she looked at her. “Have you never doubted your team?”
“I did, but they didn’t have the motive to do so.” Lin Qingqian’s gentle voice was filled with certainty
Li Wenwen’s lips curved. “Looks like I’ll have to learn from you about choosing people.”
Lin Qingqian smiled humbly and did not say anything. Her cell phone suddenly rang.
Li Wenwen gave her a look and turned to look out of the window.
Lin Qingqian picked up the phone and said very softly, “Hello… Yes, I’m on the way back. Alright, see you later.”
As soon as Li Wenwen heard her words, she knew who was calling. She did not ask further and thoughtfully asked the chauffeur to drive faster.
Lin Qingqian alighted from the car and walked into the house. Just as she changed into her slippers, a video call came.
She smiled and accepted the video call. Jiang Yanshen’s handsome facial features appeared on the camera. She smiled. “Did you install a tracking device on me?”
Jiang Yanshen didn’t say anything. His black eyes landed on her, his gaze deep and hot. His throat bobbed as he said, “You went in this dress tonight?” Lin Qingqian smiled. “Does it look good?”
Jiang Yanshen frowned. “Qianqian, you’re not allowed to wear this in the future.”
His voice was stern as if he was warning her.
No man liked his woman to dress so sexily and charmingly, especially when he wasn’t around.
He could almost imagine how brazen those lecherous men’s eyes were when they looked at her tonight!
This feeling made him feel as though he was about to go crazy.
“Alright, it’s not allowed in the future.” Lin Qingqian saw his frosty face and coaxed him nicely. “I dressed better because I was going to stand out tonight and slap Li Ruzhu’s face!”
Although she said that, Jiang Yanshen was still unhappy. She was dressed so nicely, but he did not get to see her.
“Put this on again when I come back.” Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly. His voice was no longer so tense and was a little hoarse.
Lin Qingqian didn’t know if she was thinking too much, but she felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words. “Why should I specially wear it again for you to see?”
Jiang Yanshen didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “Wear it again. I’ll bring you a gift, okay?”
Lin Qingqian’s brows moved slightly. “Could it be another anklet?”
She tried her best to maintain a smile. Thinking of the bracelets and anklets in the drawer gave her a headache.
Jiang Yanshen: “No.”
Lin Qingqian was slightly relieved, but she did not agree to it immediately. “We’ll talk when you come back.”
If he had ulterior motives…
Jiang Yanshen didn’t want to force her and changed the topic. “Do you need help?”
The matter had already spread online. Although he was far abroad, Song Qin was still in the country. Naturally, she informed her Boss immediately about this.
Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “You don’t believe in my ability?”
Jiang Yanshen thought of the things she had experienced along the way and how she had always passed smoothly. For a moment, he was not so worried.
“If you need anything, look for Yunshen. He’ll help you!”
“Got it!” Lin Qingqian did not reject his good intentions.
The two of them chatted for a while more. Seeing that it was getting late, they reluctantly ended the video call.
Jiang Yanshen put down his phone.. The blonde girl at the counter handed him a diamond ring and said in fluent English, “Sir, what do you think of this wedding ring?”
