Only then did Gao Wen react. Her shoulders trembled at first, then she slowly raised her arm and wiped her face with the back of her hand. When she looked up again, everyone could only see her red eyes.
“Is this okay?” When she said this, her voice was still a little choked, and her gaze was helpless and pitiful.
“That’ll do.”
Shi Man replied calmly and held Su Tang’s hand in front of everyone. After politely greeting the teachers, she left with her.
Bai Xue, who had been waiting outside the office, heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them finally come out. She gave Shi Man a thumbs up in admiration. “I knew Manman would definitely be able to bring Tangtang back in one piece!”
Su Tang blinked in surprise. Her gaze darted back and forth between Shi Man and Bai Xue before she realized something. She smiled. “So the two of you followed me here together!”
Bai Xue hugged her shoulder in embarrassment. “We were just worried about you. Fortunately, Manman was here. Otherwise, we don’t know how they will bully you!”
Shi Man didn’t take it to heart at all. She looked at her phone screen casually and found a new cafeteria nearby. “Let’s go to this restaurant. It’s closer. We’ve been delayed for so long. We’ll be late for class later.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Bai Xue had always listened to Shi Man, so she was naturally happy to let her arrange it.
Shi Man wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words in the end.
Shi Man saw this and slowly lowered her eyes to look at her face. Her eyes were filled with displeasure. “What’s wrong? If you have something to say, say it.”
Only then did Su Tang ask resentfully, “Manman, have you seen Gao Wen before?”
“Her name is Gao Wen?” Shi Man smiled indifferently and shook her head. “1 don’t know her. I’ve never seen her before.”
Su Tang probed hesitantly, “But I keep feeling that her attitude towards you is different from others. Moreover, she even specially designed clothes for you.”
“Oh, it’s a coincidence, right?” Shi Man clearly did not take it to heart. However, after hearing Su Tang’s words, she carefully searched her memory for Gao Wen’s appearance.
In the end, she concluded that she had not remembered wrongly. She had really never seen this person.
Bai Xue also wanted to enter the office to help just now, but Shi Man asked her to wait outside to prevent anything else from happening. However, although she was not inside, she had been paying attention to the movements in the office.
When she heard Gao Wen admit that the clothes were designed for Shi Man, she couldn’t help but be shocked. “That’s right. Could it be that she’s seen Manman before? But why did she specially design clothes for Manman just because she saw her?”
Bai Xue and Su Tang discussed this all the way, but they still could not come to a conclusion.
Ever since they left, Gao Wen had been standing in the middle of the office in a daze, staring in the direction of the door.
The Year Head sized her up and said with a serious expression, “It’s been hard on you teachers this time. I still have something to say to Wenwen. Go and rest first.”
The form teacher looked at Gao Wen worriedly. In the end, she could only pat her shoulder helplessly and leave the office with the other teachers without saying anything.
If word got out that she had been disqualified before the competition, it would be a stain on Gao Wen’s entire design career, not to mention that she had been disqualified because of the plagiarism scandal.
At this moment, the Year Head looked at Gao Wen again. He was no longer as doting as before. He walked back to the desk with a serious expression and said coldly, “Do you know what you did just now?”
Gao Wen knew that she probably couldn’t get away with this with her uncle, so she could only say in a hoarse voice, “1 know.”
“I don’t think you know anything!” The Year Head roared and slapped the table. However, when he saw his niece shrinking her neck and clearly frightened by him, he couldn’t bear to see her like this. He subconsciously softened his voice and said, “I believe that you didn’t plagiarize, but you will only be judged by outsiders to have been found with conclusive evidence of plagiarism. Do you still want to continue being a designer in the future?”
“Uncle, 1 want to, but I did something wrong. 1 shouldn’t have placed my design inspiration on someone else’s work.” Gao Wen didn’t expect Shi Man’s clothes to be designed by Su Tang. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have done this.
She just saw that Shi Man looked especially good in that outfit which was in line with Shi Man’s usual style. Therefore, when designing the draft, she would subconsciously follow the style of that dress.
Perhaps it was because she and Su Tang had many similar views on Shi Mian’s style that this design blueprint was very similar.
This was what the Year Head wanted to know the most now. He sighed softly, afraid that his tone would scare her.. He deliberately comforted her softly before slowly asking, “Then why did you design clothes for Shi Man? I remember that the two of you have never officially met, right?”
