Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 279

279 A Fall

“You!” Jiang Xue’s face turned red with anger, but she couldn’t say anything since there were so many people present.

Jiang Xue glared at Xiang Jun. She was about to say something but he continued, “On the day of my birthday banquet, you didn’t create the painting you brought to celebrate my birthday, did you?”

Jiang Xue was shocked. She didn’t expect this old man to have such sharp eyes. Jiang Xue covered up her guilty conscience and said with a smile, “Grandpa, what nonsense are you spouting?”

Xiang Jun snorted coldly and mocked, “If I can’t even tell this, I’ve lived in vain. Your painting that day and Shen Xi’s work for today’s competition, as well as the painting in the photo, were clearly drawn by the same person!”

!!
Jiang Xue didn’t want to talk to Xiang Jun anymore, so she said, “Grandpa, you’ve mistaken.”

Xiang Jun glanced at Jiang Xue. He didn’t expect this woman to be so thick-skinned.

Xiang Jun turned around to return to the judges’ place, where they were waiting for his decision.

Jiang Xue looked at the steps next to her and the wire on the ground that Xiang Jun was about to step on. Her eyes were filled with fear and she screamed, “Grandpa, be careful!”

Hearing Jiang Xue’s high-pitched voice, Xiang Jun, who had just turned his head, subconsciously looked back in her direction. Suddenly, he slipped and fell heavily to the ground with a loud ‘bang’. Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Xue instantly burst into tears. She squatted down and shouted in panic, “Grandpa! Grandpa, are you okay?”

The staff around also came forward. When they saw the unconscious Xiang Jun, they immediately carried him to the hospital.

Jiang Xue had wanted to go with them, but she was afraid that something might go wrong with the results. After all, Shen Xi had a sharp tongue. Therefore, she decided to stay and watch her lose.

Jiang Xue quickly ran to the judges. She took advantage of the crowd’s chaos and said to the remaining judges, “My grandfather happened to fall and faint. I can only rely on you guys to deal with Shen Xi’s matter.”

The judges looked at each other. They naturally understood what Jiang Xue meant. However, they were also shocked that the always fair, scholarly, and unyielding Old Master Xiang was so two-faced.

As soon as Xiang Jun left, the chaotic scene slowly quieted down. The jury made the final decision, and the host announced it on their behalf.

The emcee took the microphone and stood on the stage. He first made some remarks and then finally said, “The panel of judges has made a unanimous decision. They found that there were suspicious points of cheating in Shen Xi’s painting, so we decided to take back Shen Xi’s championship.”

Shen Xi, who was standing at the side, sighed. She did not expect that an accident would still happen.

Zhao Yuan’s entire face was scrunched up into a bun, and her worried expression was obvious. She muttered, “It’s over. It’s over. What should I do? They must have been afraid of offending the noble people in Beijing, so they planned to make Xixi admit that she had cheated. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have brought up this topic at the time, then Xixi wouldn’t have participated in the competition, and she wouldn’t have been framed now.”

Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi, who was still holding her forehead. He then picked up his phone to send a message to Xue Li. He would not let Shen Xi suffer any grievances.

However, Shen Xi was not someone who would only passively accept injustice.

Shen Xi grabbed a pen and paper from the side and stood on stage. She grabbed the host’s microphone and said loudly, “Since there’s a suspicion of cheating in my work, I’ll prove it myself.”

At the signal of the panel of judges, the staff at the side came up to snatch Shen Xi’s microphone.

Shen Xi took out her phone and warned the panel of judges, “I’m live streaming on my phone right now, so you’d better think it through. If it gets out that the Rong City Cup’s jury bullies the weak and fears the strong, doesn’t let the contestants prove their innocence, and forces the contestants to admit to false charges of cheating, I think you will soon become famous.”

When the people below saw what Shen Xi was saying to the panel of judges on her phone, they all craned their necks out of curiosity to listen. Unfortunately, Shen Xi had deliberately lowered her voice, so they could not hear her.

The judges looked at each other for a while, and then someone took the microphone to make sure that everyone could hear it, and then said, “Contestant, I want you to know one thing. Without the main judge, even if you re-draw, no one will evaluate you. Do you understand?”

Shen Xi picked up the microphone and said with a smile, “I want to ask, who can be the main judge?”
