Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yao Mengqing looked at everyone’s doubtful eyes and felt a little guilty. “Ah Yao… I-I really didn’t. You know me very well. Why would I frame Xi Xi? Although Xi Xi and I have some misunderstandings, I won’t hurt her. Moreover, this incident affected the entire competition. I wouldn’t have…

“It’s just that when I was chatting with Mr. Chen, I unintentionally said that there were some misunderstandings between me and Xi Xi… I didn’t have any ill intentions. I just casually grumbled about it. I never expected Mr. Chen to do such a thing. I really didn’t know!

“Mr. Chen, I know you did this for me, but your actions were wrong. You ruined Xi Xi’s reputation and affected the competition… Therefore, I still agree that the person who destroyed the materials should be disqualified.

“I’m sorry, everyone. This happened because of me. I’m really sorry…”

Chen Hao’s face instantly paled!

Why did she do this to him and abandon him when the truth was revealed?

He didn’t know Qiao Xi, and only after he calmed down did he understand that it was Yao Mengqing who always said that Qiao Xi bullied her and hinted at him that he should go deal with Qiao Xi for her. However, she wasn’t willing to put in a good word for him now. It seemed like it was all his fault.

Gu Yao thought to himself. This was already the second person to take the blame for Yao Mengqing. Previously, it was Yao Mengqing’s cousin. This time, it was Chen Hao. Who else would it be after this? Yao Mengqing made use of her weak appearance and pretended to be weak to attract men. After that, she would unintentionally reveal the enmity between her and Qiao Xi to get these men to do things for her.

After being exposed, as long as Yao Mengqing stood on the moral high ground and criticized them, she could pretend to be ignorant and get away with it. She was still the pure goddess in everyone’s hearts.

Gu Yao sneered as he watched Chen Hao get dragged out by the bodyguards. “Sister Mengqing, you’re still so lucky this time. However, if you keep doing bad deeds, your hands are bound to be dirty. If you do too many bad things, you might get your retribution. I really want to know who the next idiot who’ll take the blame for you is.”

Gu Yao paused and took a deep breath. “You’re a scheming b*tch! How disgusting!” Yao Mengqing was shocked by suddenly getting cursed at. She couldn’t help but take a few steps back. Her pale face was filled with fear. Then, tears of grievance fell. “Ah Yao… How could you say that about me? I know.. it’s all my fault, but… Xi Xi, I really didn’t know that Chen Hao would do such a thing for me. I don’t like him at all.

“I’ve let everyone down. In that case, I’m willing to withdraw from the competition. I don’t want to affect everyone…” With that, she sobbed weakly and covered her face pitifully. She ran out aggrievedly.

Gu Yao couldn’t help but scold, “What’s there to cry about?! Why are you pretending in front of me! You used someone else to frame Qiao Xi. Now that your plan was exposed, you still managed to dodge the blame. I’m guessing you’re just running off to hide and laugh evilly. I can’t believe you managed to escape again!”

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Regardless of whether Yao Mengqing was involved or not, she was still the eldest daughter of the Yao family. Gu Yao could scold her in public, but they did not dare to do so.

Actually, everyone was clearly aware in their hearts that even if Yao Mengqing hadn’t directly instructed Chen Hao, this matter couldn’t be separated from her. After all, she was the one who used her suitors to deal with Qiao Xi.

The person in charge immediately sent someone to get extra materials, and everyone returned to the design hall after collecting their own materials. Just then, the assistant stopped Qiao Xi. “Please wait.”

Gu Yao stopped with Qiao Xi, only to see the assistant say with a smile, “Miss Qiao, Sir wants to meet you.”

Qiao Xi smiled.

Actually, ever since she left Gu Zheng’s office, she had found it a little strange. Why did everyone know that there was a big shot upstairs, and why did the assistant call him ‘Sir’ but not ‘President Gu?

Gu Zheng had worked hard in the business world for so many years. Everyone had to respectfully address him as ‘President Gu’. President Gu represented Gu Zheng, and no one called him ‘Sir.’

In that case, there was only one possibility. Gu Zheng did not come here as President Gu but as the president of ZR.

When she arrived at the materials section, she saw that the door to the lounge room was tightly shut. There seemed to be someone guarding inside, so she asked the president of ZR to help her check the surveillance cameras. If that person was really Gu Zheng, he would definitely agree.

As expected, Qiao Xi really won..
