Ye Nanshen didnt respond. Neither did Mr. and Mrs. Gu.

However, Gu Yuyan stepped forward with a gracious smile and said, Designers who work with Qiyan Studio are all talented individuals. I have high regard for Mr. Ding, and I believe there will be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

Gu Yuyan gave Ding Ziqiu a way to gracefully exit the situation, and he was grateful. He looked at her with newfound admiration and said, Miss Gu, you are truly talented and beautiful. You have my utmost respect.

Gu Yuyan smiled, choosing to remain silent.

After Ding Ziqiu had introduced himself, Zheng Zhihuan finally spoke, Mr. Ding, you probably heard our conversation just now. I believe you must have something youd like to say to everyone here.

Ding Ziqiu nodded, turned to face the crowd, and spoke with a slight lift in his voice, Indeed, there are a few things Id like to clarify. Regarding the gown that Miss Rong is wearing, the final product has already been created. However, our boss didnt loan this piece out. Instead, he had it sent to the capital city to partic.i.p.ate in a fas.h.i.+on design compet.i.tion scheduled for two months from now.

So, are you saying that the gown Miss Rong is wearing is indeed a counterfeit? someone immediately chimed in.

Ding Ziqiu remained enigmatic, choosing not to answer. But his silence only fueled the crowds suspicions, making them even more convinced that the gown was a fake.

Suddenly, the hall was abuzz with whispers and debates, each more heated than the last.

Look, that Miss Rong seems to have some connection with Jingsheng Corporation. Didnt Jingsheng Corporation just venture into the design industry? Are they trying to sabotage their own reputation?

Probably Jingsheng Corporation isnt capable of producing this design yet, and she just liked this dress. So, she took it upon herself to make a knockoff without getting permission?

My G.o.d! Isnt that brazen? Is this copyright infringement?

Obviously, what do you think?

That woman is shameless! Shes wearing a fake just to steal the limelight. Could it be because she knew Miss Gu would be wearing Qiyan Studios latest design today and wanted to compete?

Thats likely! But such a tactic is so clumsy. I initially thought she looked good, but beauty means nothing when youre stealing someones design. Ugh! I take back my earlier compliment.

The crowds remarks were incessant, each one more insulting than the last.

Ye Nanshens eyes narrowed, the pupils turning a shade darker, flickering with a hint of red.

Gu Yuyans smile broadened, almost gleefully.

Zheng Zhihuan looked defiantly at Rong Qi.

Gu Yuyan quickly reined in her expression, adopting a distressed look, and said, Its all a misunderstanding. Miss Rong just loved Qiyan Studios design so much that she unknowingly had a fake made. Lets not take it to heart. Ill personally apologize to Qiyan Studios people on her behalf tomorrow. Lets not discuss this any further.

Then, Gu Yuyan turned to Rong Qi and said, Miss Rong, if theres anything youd like to wear in the future, just let me know. Even if I have to embarra.s.s myself, Ill get it for you. Were besties, after all; theres no need to stand on ceremony.

Gu Yuyans words seemed supportive, but each sentence further solidified the claim that Rong Qi was wearing a counterfeit.

Rong Qi chuckled lightly, Are you done? May I speak now?

Gu Yuyan frowned, her face showing disapproval, Miss Rong, theres no need for explanations. Nanshen and I will handle this, dont worry.

Rong Qi smiled lightly, looking at Gu Yuyan, and said, Sorry, I dont know you well enough. This matter concerns my reputation, and I believe I have the right to speak.

Gu Yuyan was taken aback, her face turning a shade darker..
