After being kicked out of the rich family, she had morning sickness, and the chaebol heir went crazy

……

Below the stage, the audience's patience began to be tested as the tenth designer took a long time to appear.

"What's going on? We've been waiting for a while, right?"

Someone started complaining.

"I heard that Lisa is also participating in this competition. Is she the finale?"

Someone nearby guessed.

"Are you trying to show off your status by delaying like this?"

Another person muttered in dissatisfaction, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became anxious.

The faces of Qu's father and mother, who were sitting in the back row, were filled with irrepressible pride. Qu's mother's eyes were full of smiles: "Our Sasha's show was simply the most beautiful among all the other girls."

Qu's father clapped his hands lightly, his eyes full of approval for his daughter.

Su's mother forced a smile, her response was mixed with a bit of helplessness, and her voice was obviously polite: "Yes, yes, Shasha is indeed very talented."

In the luxuriously decorated VIP box on the second floor, Lu Huaijin's figure was particularly eye-catching. His posture as he leaned on the sofa revealed a kind of nonchalant elegance, but the rhythm of his fingers tapping on the table betrayed his inner uneasiness.

Liu Kuan's hurried footsteps broke the silence in the box. His face was slightly anxious, and there was a hint of nervousness in his report: "Miss Zhu has indeed encountered a problem. The finale model Coco said she is still on the way and there is a traffic jam."

Hearing this, Lu Huaijin's eyebrows flashed with displeasure, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination: "What are you waiting for? Go pick them up immediately!"

Just as Liu Kuan was about to leave, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed due to a burst of melodious music.

The first model walked out where the lights were focused, and the entire venue seemed to be holding its breath.

The model wore a long gown with a curved hem; the ankle-length skirt swayed gently with her steps, which was both dignified and exuded a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

The auspicious cloud pattern embroidered with dark red silk thread meanders on the edge of the clothes, and seems to be alive with the model's every move.

The cross-collar design of the clothing perfectly reveals the white shirt underneath. This design was inspired by the "triple clothing" of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The straight-hem style that came on stage later expressed another kind of elegance and extraordinary beauty with its simple and smooth lines.

Until the model wearing a phoenix crown and bridal robe appeared.

The applause at the scene was like a tide, erupting in an instant, and people's exclamations of praise rose one after another.

However, the discussions and doubts that followed also quietly came. The debate about the originality, practicality and difficulty of promotion of the design made the originally single praise become complex and multifaceted.

Lisa's name was mentioned frequently, accompanied by controversy over its similarities to the work of another designer, Lisa.

People's opinions were diametrically opposed and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In the backstage lounge, Lisa and Yaya's expressions changed from relaxed at first to stunned, and a hurried knock on the door broke all the peace.

The certainty of victory in Lisa's heart was now shrouded in a shadow of uncertainty.

When Lisa rushed to the catwalk and saw Zhu Feiwan wearing that extremely luxurious Hanfu, her doubts and confusion reached a peak.

The judges' words were like a verdict, and the scene fell into silence again. Only the two design drawings on the big screen quietly stated the facts.

The moment Lisa turned around, shock, confusion and anger gathered in her eyes, as if she was hit by a sudden storm.

"Zhu Feiwan plagiarized my design!"

Lisa's accusation is powerful.

Zhu Feiwan looked calm, turned his head slightly, and looked at Lisa sharply: "I want to know in detail, what is the core theme of your design this time? What kind of inspiration prompted you to choose to promote our national culture as the soul of the design?"

Lisa relied on her limited knowledge of current trends, raised a confident smile, and said slowly, "The theme is naturally to highlight our proud national culture in an extraordinary way. Haven't you heard that Hanfu is all the rage now? Especially among young people, wearing Hanfu has become a popular trend. But considering practicality and modern aesthetics, we must innovate and make appropriate adjustments."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feiwan raised a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of her mouth, but did not directly refute. Her voice was calm but with a question that could not be ignored: "Okay, promoting national culture, right? Then may I ask, what is the design concept and source of inspiration behind your auspicious cloud pattern? Can you explain it in detail?"

“Of course…”

Lisa raised her chin proudly, as if preparing to make an impassioned speech, but before she finished her words, her expression froze.

Lisa's mind was as clear as a mirror, and she had to be extremely cautious with every word at this moment. How could she easily admit that Xiangyun was just a simple reference to ancient elements?

Such an answer will undoubtedly expose one's shallowness and inadequacy.

She quickly adjusted her strategy, raised her eyebrows, and asked back, "What do you mean? Are you questioning me? As if I'm plagiarizing. Then, I want to know, where did your design concept for this work that is so similar to mine come from? How did the inspiration come from? If you can't give a reasonable explanation, then it will be clear who the real plagiarist is!"

The two words "Lu Lili" on the manuscript appeared clearly in Lisa's mind. She was sure that Zhu Yunran, like herself, did not really have design talent. She had Yaya doing the work for her, and the hero behind Zhu Yunran was Lu Lili!

"In my design, the creative source of the auspicious clouds is actually very intuitive. It is a word. If you observe carefully, you will definitely discover the mystery in it."

Zhu Feiwan was worried that people might not understand, so he strode over to the staff, picked up the mouse deftly, and circled the secret hidden in the auspicious clouds on the high-definition screen.

There were many discerning judges who saw through the mystery at a glance and exclaimed: "This is clearly the cursive writing of the word '祝'. It is really difficult to recognize it without careful observation!"

"Wow! There really is a word 'blessing' hidden in it!"

"This is such a creative idea. I'm used to seeing all kinds of anti-counterfeiting marks, but I've never seen anything so bold and straightforward! People directly weave their surnames into their clothes. It's a pity that some people turn a blind eye and even try to claim it as their own!"

"That's right, Lisa is indeed a master, this move is absolutely brilliant!"

In an instant, the direction of public opinion completely turned to Zhu Feiwan's side.

Lisa became more anxious when she heard this. She argued, "You said that was the cursive writing of the word '祝', but I think it looks more like the cursive writing of the word '莎'!"

"It's okay to be illiterate, but if you lack cultural background and want to show it off, it's really a joke."

Zhu Feiwan shook his head and sighed, his tone calm and regretful, which formed a sharp contrast with Lisa's anxiety, making the latter look even more isolated and helpless, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually became apparent.
