Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chairman Mu’s gaze descended upon Fang Yuan standing below the stage as he sternly declared, “The plagiarists must face severe consequences. We must eradicate their presence from this industry, leaving them with no refuge. This will serve as a deterrent and prevent others from endangering their own careers. Otherwise, we risk perpetuating a harmful culture of plagiarism. Over time, genuine composers will dwindle, and plagiarism will only proliferate.”
Consequently, Fang Yuan found herself in the spotlight, the only one capable of delivering a resounding blow to Fang Jiayi.
Fang Yuan, taken aback, harbored a desire for Fang Jiayi to exit the industry but hesitated to reveal her sentiments.
However, some individuals shamelessly denied their acts of plagiarism.
All eyes followed Chairman Mu Youlan’s intent gaze, focusing on a girl with disbelief. Was she Senior Qingyin?
“Senior Qingyin? Unbelievable…”
“But Chairman Mu is clearly looking in her direction. There’s no one else there but that girl…”
“Could Chairman Mu have made a mistake? She looks like she’s still in high school!”
Though the stage lighting cast a slight shadow on the audience, Fang Yuan’s poised and composed expression remained visible.
“I’d believe it if Chairman Mu herself claimed to be Senior Qingyin. How could that girl possibly be Senior Qingyin?”
“I share the skepticism. It seems improbable…”
Fang Liguo and Song Ling also detected Mu Youlan’s focus on the girl in the audience, noticing a resemblance to Fang Yuan from the back.
The realization struck Song Ling: Fang Yuan wore this dress in the restroom just moments ago! Mu Youlan asserted that she was Master Qingyin, but how was that conceivable? Fang Yuan, with minimal exposure to the piano, couldn’t even read properly, let alone compose. It made more sense to consider Cheng Yuqi as Master Qingyin, being Cheng Ye’s daughter and the heiress to immense wealth. To claim Fang Yuan as Master Qingyin seemed utterly implausible!
In that instant, Lu Chen turned his gaze towards the girl and recognized a familiar posture from her back. As Song Ling voiced the possibility of Fang Yuan’s presence, he couldn’t believe it. Fang Yuan? His expression shifted to one of profound shock. Fang Yuan was at the awards venue too? How did she manage to enter? Mu Youlan claimed she was Senior Qingyin? This seemed utterly implausible to him.
Cheng Yuqi’s eyes also fixated on Fang Yuan. With no one else nearby, Fang Yuan as Qingyin was ludicrous! What kind of person was Qingyin, and how could she be so young? Cheng Yuqi was convinced that Mu Youlan had made a mistake.
Fang Jiayi, too, was taken aback. “Fang Yuan? So, it’s your doing!”
A revelation struck her, and she exclaimed, “1 see through your scheme! You must have posed as Master Qingyin and manipulated Chairman Mu into exposing me. Chairman Mu, being kind-hearted, fell for your deceit!” Since no one had witnessed Master Qingyin before, the possibility that Fang Yuan impersonated her couldn’t be ruled out.
Fang Jiayi sneered, convinced she had uncovered the mastermind. “It’s one thing to pretend to be someone else, but Master Qingyin is an idol for many here. How dare you imitate her? Did you receive approval from her fans? Do you think Master Qingyin’s fans are easy targets?”
These words triggered a wave of murmurs among the audience.
“Exactly. She can’t possibly be Master Qingyin. Master Qingyin is incredibly skilled…”
“I’m skeptical too…”
“If she’s impersonating Master Qingyin, she won’t get away with it!”
“Count me in!”
“Seems like they know each other. There’s some personal history between them…”
The audience was captivated by the unfolding drama.
Fang Jiayi felt her pride wounded and decided it was time for Fang Yuan to experience a taste of humiliation.
“You usurped my position and relished in eighteen years of wealth. It was only by chance that Mom and Dad discovered me, suffering outside. Feeling uneasy, you targeted me at every turn!” As soon as she uttered these words, a shocked silence fell over the crowd.
“I never anticipated such a connection between these two girls! Is this girl in the audience intentionally framing me to seek revenge against Fang Jiayi? In an instant, the crowd shifted from admiring Fang Yuan’s appearance to engaging in malicious speculations…”
“Your family background is far from pristine. To sustain yourself in Jing City, you seem to accompany a different man every day! Care to introduce your latest sugar daddy to everyone?”
“As your younger sister, I’ve cautioned you numerous times to stay on the right path. Ignoring my advice is one thing, but you’ve also physically attacked me multiple times. You even incited your friend to assault my fiance!”
“I initially intended to let bygones be bygones for the sake of our family. Yet, upon witnessing my award victory, you resorted to such deceitful tactics to manipulate Chairman Mu into trusting you and tarnishing my reputation!”
The revelation left everyone present in shock. It painted the girl in the audience as having a tumultuous personal life. Despite her appealing looks, the accusations suggested a capability to entice others. According to Fang Jiayi’s analysis, Fang Yuan might be spreading false rumors out of jealousy or resentment..
