“If two people often study and discuss together, it’s actually very normal to share inspiration. Everyone understands this, right?”
The words sounded credible.
Qiao Weiyang heard it from the side and could confirm that this was also a brainwashing method. What did it mean that the two of them often discussed together? What did it mean that they drew inspiration from each other?
Every time she was serious about designing, Qiao Jierou was probably in bed with Lin Heng, right? She had always been independent and had never discussed anything with Qiao Jierou, let alone draw inspiration from each other.
Qiao Weiyang had never been interested in seeing what Qiao Jierou had designed.
However, there was no evidence to refute these words.
Qiao Jierou anxiously said a few more words to the interpreter. The interpreter quickly relayed the message to everyone. In any case, he kept repeating the same words to brainwash them into believing that Qiao Jierou did not plagiarize.
Everyone’s emotions were finally appeased.
However, Frank’s emotions were still on the high. He said in German, “Since you learned from each other and gained inspiration from each other, why did you use the word plagiarism to talk about Qiao Weiyang? When Qiao Weiyang clarified with us, she never said this word. She only asked us to search for things related to Sheng Lan’s evening gown and left everything to us to judge.”
The interpreter said these words to Qiao Jierou.
Qiao Jierou quickly said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Frank. My friend phrased her words wrongly and caused a miscommunication. I apologize to everyone on her behalf and also express my deep apology for causing you inconvenience. I’m sorry.”
She dragged Roman toward her again. “Roman apologizes to everyone, too.”
Roman quickly said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I don’t understand German, and I used too many words in my own country’s language. I’ve caused trouble for everyone. I’m really sorry.”
Seeing that the two of them were very sincere in their apologies and their explanation was indeed reasonable, everyone did not pursue the matter.
As for the suggestion to go to the organizer and ask Qiao Jierou not to participate, it didn’t seem to make much sense anymore.
Seeing that these people were quickly appeased, Tao Huan said in a low voice, “Qiao Jierou is really something. She caused you so much trouble again, but in the end, the matter was left unsettled. She’s always so troublesome and wastes so much of your time.”
“It’s not a waste. The opportunity she gave me this time is quite good. If she hadn’t made a scene, I wouldn’t have found such an opportunity.” Qiao Weiyang said as she placed the wine glass on the tray of the passing waiter. She then walked toward everyone.
Everyone had a better impression of her. When they saw her walk over, they all looked at her.
Qiao Weiyang walked in front of everyone and smiled. She said to Qiao Jierou, “Can I borrow your interpreter?”
In front of so many people, Qiao Jierou couldn’t refuse. She said, “It’s up to you. Sister, do we have to be so distant?”
After she finished speaking, she said to everyone in S Country’s language, “Just now, Qiao Jierou mentioned that she and I are sisters. She also said that we’ve discussed a lot about design before. I can’t completely deny this. I can’t say that we often discussed design matters, but we’re indeed biological sisters.”
Everyone understood the subtext. The two of them were sisters, but they might not have discussed design matters.
Qiao Jierou’s expression changed slightly, but she still maintained a smile and did not retort.
Qiao Weiyang continued, “However, more than half a year ago, I left the Qiao family and the Qiao family’s company. I started developing alone outside. I haven’t gone back to stay, nor have I returned to the company. I have never discussed any design matters with Qiao Jierou.”
The interpreter translated truthfully. Lin Heng and Qiao Jierou looked at Qiao Weiyang in surprise, not knowing what else she wanted to say.
Everyone nodded, believing that Qiao Weiyang would not lie.
Or rather, if she lied in front of so many people and reporters, she would be exposed very quickly. There was no need for her to take this risk.
Frank’s deep gaze fell on Qiao Weiyang, and he looked at her with admiration.
Qiao Weiyang raised her cell phone and said, “When I was in the Qiao family, I had a lot of design inspiration. There were finished products and semi-finished products. Other than those that have already been used for my brand, Ocean, I recorded all the other inspirations in my online notebook. The content is divided into categories, and they all recorded my inspiration at that time. The online notebook also recorded the original time of these inspirations…”
As she spoke, Qiao Jierou’s expression slowly changed. She pinched her fingers hard.
“Whether it’s these inspirations or semi-finished products, they’re all in the past. I won’t use them in this competition. To me, everything in the past has made me who I am now and made me better. However, I don’t need to be restrained by everything in the past. My design inspiration and talent don’t need to be restrained by the past either. Therefore, I’ll directly open the access to these things on an online platform and provide them for everyone to see. I’ll also give everyone on the platform a chance to discuss things with me.”
Qiao Weiyang said word by word.
The color on Qiao Jierou’s face seemed to be drained after she heard Qiao Weiyang’s words. With every word she said, the paler she got.
Roman could not help but say, “Do you think you’re some high-level designer? You even plan to show your designs to everyone? Who do you think will care about your designs? Who’d want to see them? People will only want to look at the finished products of a famous designer. Who cares about your inspiration and half-finished products?”
Her words were harsh. The interpreter glanced at her and then at Qiao Weiyang, not knowing if he should continue to interpret their quarrel.
Roman said, “There’s no need to interpret for the time being. Continue after Qiao Weiyang and I have clarified things.”
Qiao Jierou had paid for the interpreter. Roman was one of Qiao Jierou’s, so the interpreter naturally listened to Roman.
Frank said to Qiao Weiyang very gentlemanly, “Weiyang, do you need an interpreter? If you do, I’ll help you interpret at the event location.”
“There’s nothing about Roman’s and my conversation that can’t be heard by others. Since you’re willing to help, Mr. Frank, I’ll thank you in advance.”
Frank immediately interpreted all of Roman’s words.
