Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's neon lights flickered, painting the night sky in vibrant colors. Su Nian set down the documents in her hands and walked to the window, gazing at the distant skyscrapers with a soft sigh. The design exhibition was about to open, and she felt both excited and anxious.
At that moment, her phone rang, breaking the silence of the room. Su Nian picked it up and saw that it was Lin Weiwei calling. She answered, "Hello, Weiwei."
" Niannian, how have you been lately? How's the preparation for the design exhibition going?" Lin Weiwei's concerned voice came through the line.
"Everything is going fairly well," Su Nian replied as she sat down on the sofa, casually picking up a cushion. "It's just that I'm a bit worried..." Her tone carried a hint of hesitation.
"Worried about what? Worried that Lu Jingxuan is up to something again?" Lin Weiwei immediately guessed Su Nian's thoughts.
Su Nian fell silent, which was an acknowledgment. Ever since their divorce, Lu Jingxuan had held a grudge against her, constantly harassing and making things difficult for her.
"Don't worry; we'll face whatever comes our way together," Lin Weiwei said firmly. "I'll always be by your side."
"Thank you, Weiwei." Su Nian's voice was filled with gratitude as a faint smile appeared on her face.
After hanging up, Su Nian got up and walked to her desk to continue organizing her documents. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm and focused on the task at hand.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingxuan sat in his luxurious office, conspiring with several reporters from various media outlets. His expression was dark, and his tone low as he occasionally tapped his fingers on the desk, creating a dull sound. "Remember, make sure this becomes a big deal; I want to ruin Su Nian's reputation!" His eyes were filled with malice, and his voice was icy.
The reporters nodded eagerly, wearing flattering smiles. "Rest assured, Mr. Lu; we will follow your instructions," one reporter promised emphatically while others chimed in agreement.
Lu Jingxuan nodded in satisfaction and then pulled out a thick stack of cash from his drawer to distribute among the reporters present. "There will be generous rewards once this is accomplished." A sinister smile crept onto his lips.
The reporters accepted the money with greedy expressions as they left the office, eager to complete Lu Jingxuan's orders.
Two days later, Su Nian's design exhibition grandly opened at Haicheng Art Center. The venue was elegantly decorated, showcasing an array of clothing designs that attracted numerous fashion industry figures and media attention. Dressed in a white gown, Su Nian stood gracefully in the center of the exhibition hall, welcoming guests who came to visit.
However, midway through the exhibition, several media reporters suddenly surged forward, surrounding Su Nian. "Miss Su, what is your response to the plagiarism accusations?" one reporter shouted aggressively.
"Miss Su, it has been reported that your designs have copied those of a well-known foreign designer. Is this true?" another reporter followed up sharply.
At that moment, several "witnesses" appeared at the venue claiming that Su Nian had indeed plagiarized their works. The atmosphere grew tense as whispers filled the air. Su Nian's face turned pale, but she fought to maintain her composure and looked resolute. "I did not plagiarize; all my works are original designs." Her voice was calm but carried an almost imperceptible tremor.
Just then, Gu Tingchen appeared. Dressed in a black suit with an imposing presence, he walked straight to Su Nian's side and shielded her behind him. "Everyone, please be quiet," he said steadily as his gaze swept across the room. His assistant produced several documents and distributed them to the reporters present. "This is evidence of Lu Jingxuan's commercial crimes and proof of his fabricated witnesses." Gu Tingchen's tone was cold and piercing.
The reporters flipped through the documents in shock and confusion as Lu Jingxuan's scheme was exposed. He stood among the crowd with a pale face and remained silent.
Soon after, police arrived at the scene and took Lu Jingxuan away for questioning. The venue returned to calmness as Su Nian's design exhibition continued. She stood beside Gu Tingchen and cast him a grateful glance. Gu Tingchen gave her an assuring look before turning to leave the hall. Su Nian watched his retreating figure with warmth and gratitude filling her heart.
"Thank you," Su Nian whispered softly as her eyelashes fluttered while her gaze lingered on Gu Tingchen's broad back.
Gu Tingchen slightly turned his head with an almost imperceptible smile playing at his lips. "Protecting you is my responsibility." His voice was low as he stepped away from the bustling exhibition hall and blended into the crowd outside. The flashes from cameras continued to illuminate the scene as reporters aimed their lenses at Lu Jingxuan being taken away by police. The sound of sirens faded into the distance as tranquility gradually returned outside the exhibition hall.
