“The main fabric of this dress is a crescent-white color. This is a very traditional white color in S Country. It’s heavier than pure white and more elegant than other colors. Just using this fabric would make the dress a little boring.

“Therefore, I used bamboo leaves as a cover embroidery around this evening gown. Everyone knows that bamboo symbolizes nobleness and integrity in S Country. Therefore, this evening gown might look simple, but there’s actually a secret hidden in it. When the light shines, it’ll glow faintly.

“I’ve adopted a traditional design for this evening gown and improved on the style of traditional clothes in my country. It’s elegant and adds the concept of modernity.”

Qiao Jierou’s commentary was simple but professional. Everyone nodded.

Qiao Jierou looked at Qiao Weiyang. At this moment, she also saw Qiao Weiyang’s evening gown for the competition. It was really similar to Qiao Jierou’s.

When the two sets were placed together, be it the style or the material, they were basically very similar.

This was also an important reason why the judges were not able to confirm which one to choose.

The two sets of gowns each had their own exquisite aspects. The details were also different, making it really difficult to choose.

“Qiao Weiyang, what about you?” the judges asked.

Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “Mine is similar to Qiao Jierou’s, but there’s not only bamboo on my cover embroidery but also plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. The rest are no different from hers.”

As soon as she said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Was it that simple?

Old Madam Qiao looked at the live-stream and couldn’t help but sneer. “Why is she so useless?”

“That’s right. How could she say that there’s no difference? How can she make plagiarism sound so refreshing and refined?”

Huang Shumin shook her head but was secretly rejoicing in her heart. Qiao Weiyang would probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in history this time.

She really regretted asking Old Master Qiao to split the assets earlier on. From the looks of it, they really should have waited until the award ceremony was over before distributing the assets.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin, who had not spoken much, had an unfathomable smile on their faces.

Especially Mrs. Lin. She had always liked Qiao Jierou more. Now, everything had finally confirmed her taste, making her feel honored.

In the comments, Qiao Jierou’s fans cursed: [Qiao Weiyang, can you not embarrass yourself overseas? You make me want to hit you!]

[In order to compete with Jierou, she’s really shameless! Is there something wrong with her brain?!]

[Get off the stage. Don’t embarrass yourself!]

[F*ck! I’m so angry at this despicable person!]

Qiao Weiyang’s fans defended her one after another, but at this time, how could they protect her?

It was impossible to control what others said.

The judges also frowned. “Qiao Weiyang, can you be more detailed?”

Qiao Weiyang said indifferently, “Dear judges and friends, can I play a video?”

The judges nodded and said, “Go ahead.”

Qiao Weiyang handed the item to the emcee, who took it to the big screen and started to play it.

In the video, Qiao Jierou was seen going to Qiao Weiyang’s hotel room to look for her. She told her that Lin Heng was sick and asked her to take care of him.

Then, Qiao Weiyang left. Qiao Jierou opened Qiao Weiyang’s hotel room door and went in to take Qiao Weiyang’s things. The evening gown was very big and could not be hidden at all. One look at Qiao Jierou’s hand and anyone would know what she was holding.

Qiao Jierou’s expression changed drastically. Her previous feeling of victory was gone.

Where… where did Qiao Weiyang get this?

That was impossible.

At that time, she had already found all the relevant surveillance footage in the hotel and deleted them.

The person who helped was a good friend of Huang Shumin who had been in Germany for many years. He was extremely concerned about Qiao Jierou. At that time, he formatted all the videos in front of Qiao Jierou.

In his original words, even if the police came, it was impossible to restore the footage!

Yet Qiao Weiyang actually got her hands on the footage!

The others were also discussing among themselves, especially the local contestants who had participated in the search for Qiao Weiyang that day. Everyone recalled that there were many strange things that happened that day, but because nothing else happened, no one pursued the matter.

Now, it turned out it was all because of Qiao Jierou’s schemes that Qiao Weiyang could only participate in the competition at the last moment!

Now that they thought about it, this was a trick that Qiao Jierou had deliberately thought of. Not only did she steal Qiao Weiyang’s design, but she had also specially come up with a scheme to prevent Qiao Weiyang from participating in the competition.

Lin Heng’s expression changed drastically. Previously, Qiao Jierou had always told him that Qiao Weiyang was the one who drugged him and that it had nothing to do with her.

But looking at this video, how could he remain oblivious?

He was agitated. Qiao Jierou was actually the one behind it!

‘Why? Why did she have to do this?’

What about her own talent? What about her own designing skills?

“Qiao Weiyang, what do you mean by playing this video?” the judges asked.

“What I mean is that Qiao Jierou’s design and both evening gowns are mine!” Qiao Weiyang said. “Her design was stolen from me. The design and evening gown she submitted have nothing to do with her.”

The judges recalled that day. Qiao Weiyang was indeed late, but because it was still within the time limit, she still successfully participated in the competition.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Because at that time, I didn’t have any evidence to prove myself. I hadn’t gotten the footage yet. I had to spend a lot of time and even hire a friend to restore this footage.”

When she mentioned her friend, she looked into the distance and knew that Su Zhuoqian was there.

Qiao Jierou immediately said, “Qiao Weiyang, you’re lying! We’re sisters. I went to your room to help you get an evening gown. You invited me! Even if you have this footage, what can you prove?! Our designs are very similar to each other. How can you prove that my things were stolen from you? Sister, I respect and love you so much. Do you have to treat me like this?”

She looked pitiful, and tears flowed freely. She was especially good at fake crying. She bit her lip and looked aggrieved, as if everyone was bullying her.

Such a scene indeed made it difficult for people to blame everything on her.

Indeed, the footage could only mean that she had entered Qiao Weiyang’s room, asked Qiao Weiyang to visit Lin Heng, and taken Qiao Weiyang’s evening gown.

However, it did not completely prove that her evening gown was stolen from Qiao Weiyang!

At first, the chain of evidence seemed logical, but it seemed there were still some important missing points.

The evidence was not strong enough.

Lin Heng also came back to his senses in an instant. Qiao Weiyang’s seemingly tight evidence was not completely reasonable. They could still find loopholes.
