017 Gong Beiming Came (Part Three)_1

```

A boy in the audience shouted through a bullhorn, "Chi Xiaoyu, I love you!"

The shouts were followed by a tidal wave of cheers and applause, "Chi Xiaoyu, we love you!!"

Eager flowers were thrown toward the stage.

Gong Beiming sat with impeccable posture, his tall figure lithe, his long eyes filled with admiration.

This girl, truly extraordinary...

In the venue, joyful and festive music began to play, then, suddenly, all the lights went out, creating a moment of calm before sparks and silver blossoms scattered across the screen.

The special effects lighting flashed across the room, all bearing Chi Xiaoyu's name...

At that moment, every viewer in front of the television also remembered the name Chi Xiaoyu.

She had succeeded!

Seeing Chi Xiaoyu so adored, Chi Tingting's eyes reddened with urgency.

Especially when she saw Bo Xuan's gaze, filled with joy, lingering on Chi Xiaoyu, the flames of jealousy seemed almost to burn Chi Xiaoyu to ashes.

Bitch, what a bitch, what gives you the right?

Recalling how hard she and her father, Chi Zhiyuan, had worked to bring Gong Beiming, the CEO of DI, here, only for him to help Chi Xiaoyu turn defeat into victory at the crucial moment, she felt her insides twist with regret.

This was clearly a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot...

"Now, let's interview the runner-up, Miss Chi Tingting. Initially, we wanted to ask for your thoughts on winning the award. Suddenly, I remembered, your name is similar to Chi Xiaoyu's, are you sisters?"

The host finally approached Chi Tingting.

Chi Tingting temporarily suppressed her venomous emotions and replaced them with a coquettish smile.

Taking the microphone, she replied with ease, "Thank you, host. You're right, we are sisters. She's my cousin, and we grew up together. My father is the owner of Yunshang Company, and my mother is a painter and a designer. So, growing up in such an environment, I developed my own views on fashion at a very young age. And my cousin, she would often come to me to communicate and learn. The inspiration for Mist Cage Moon actually came from a traditional ink painting I saw recently. I mentioned it to her casually, not expecting that she would produce it so quickly. Initially, that was my intention, but since she used it, I had to settle for second best and created Paris Spring. However, I am very satisfied with today's outcome. After all, she is my cousin, and the champion and runner-up titles have both been taken by us sisters, I'm very happy."

What sounded like a modest statement was a distortion of truth, indirectly accusing Chi Xiaoyu of stealing her design inspiration.

This was nothing short of blatant framing and slander.

Chi Xiaoyu immediately became livid with rage, that Chi Tingting was shameless to the extreme.

Looking up, she saw the undeniable smugness in Chi Tingting's eyes, and the naked challenge.

Yes, she was smiling, smiling very proudly.

Chi Xiaoyu, do you think you can easily turn things around just like that?

I, Chi Tingting, am not so easily fooled.

Chi Tingting looked at Chi Xiaoyu with a smile, just waiting to see her lose control, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

The scene became somewhat awkward.

The host hurriedly intervened, "Miss Chi, was your inspiration really due to a kind reminder from your sister?"

Chi Xiaoyu chuckled softly, took the microphone, and looked at Chi Tingting, "I'm sorry, my memory isn't very good. May I ask, Chi Tingting, if your inspiration came from a landscape ink painting, what is the name of that painting? And who is the artist?"
