Lu Mengxi was shocked. “Shen Qianshu, you’re trying to change the topic!”
“How am I doing so?” Shen Qianshu was firm and cold. She said calmly, “Do you mean that you were not monitoring the Rose Castle? If it wasn’t you, how did you get the video? You have invaded my privacy. Is that not a crime? Even elementary school kids know this. Does Miss Lu not know that?”
“There is no way to prove your innocence. You are deliberately confusing everyone. This video was given to me by others as a warning that you would definitely take the first place at this competition. This was the evidence, and they wanted me to retreat so as to not come head-on with you. After all, you have a strong background, and no one can mess with you. But I am not willing to let that happen. This is the stage where every appraiser proves themselves. We cannot allow falsifications. Shen Qianshu, you are simply not worthy of being an appraiser.”
“I don’t need someone like you to tell me whether I am worthy of being an appraiser or not. I just want to tell you that you will be losing your family fortune. I am also going to sue you. Anyway, I have nothing now but money!” Shen Qianshu remained firm in front of the media.
She challenged Lu Mengxi publicly.
The two of them tore each others’ masks apart. No one pretended to be nice anymore.
“Y-You…” Lu Mengxi was mad. She took a deep breath. “Fine, if you want to sue me, that would be after the gem gambling issue. Even if my reputation is gone, even if we have to go to court, I want to fight for justice for all of our appraisers.”
She tried to form a righteous and just image of herself so that she could gain support from the appraisers.
People would praise her for being brave for sacrificing herself just to seek out the truth.
What a big heart she has…
Yun An was conflicted. He believed in Shen Qianshu. She had picked the rock meticulously. The first rock that Shen Qianshu wanted was the one that Lu Mengxi had picked. He knew this more than anyone.
He just never thought that there would be anything settled privately about the competition.
“Qianshu, are you okay?” Yun An asked.
“Do you believe in me?”
Yun An was hesitant. He nodded.
Shen Qianshu said, “That’s great!”
When dealing with backlash and insults, the scariest thing was to have your friends and family questioning you and distancing themselves away from you. As long as one person believed in you, it was a form of motivation. Even if that was just a stranger, it would help too.
What’s more, they were friends from the same field.
In the control room, Ye Ling was very cold. The atmosphere was tense.
In his amber eyes, there was frost.
Ye Tingjun said, “Bro, I really…”
Have a whole new level of respect for her!
I thought that sister was just like a flower vase.
Who knew that she would be so calm and clever in times of danger.
She’s too… clever!
“Bro, how could you still be sitting still? Sister is being bullied so badly,” Ye Tingjun said.
Someone had gone to look for the organizer, but they had searched everywhere, and yet, they still could not find him.
Lu Mengxi said, “See, you’re guilty now, huh? You are ganging up. He has no way to help in clearing your name. He has hidden away. Shen Qianshu, what else do you have to say?”
“I don’t even need him to clear my name!” Shen Qianshu said calmly.
“Things have already come to such a state, and yet you’re showing no signs of repentance!”
“You are the one that won’t show any sign of repentance. I said that I don’t need anyone to clear my name because I did not do anything wrong.” Shen Qianshu took out a recording pen. “Lu Mengxi, you’re smart. That day, when Mr. Zhang came into the Rose Castle, Tong Hua was using the recording pen to record his schedule. He was playing with our pet, and he accidentally left the pen on the table. He had forgotten to switch it off. Here, let me show you the full conversation. Who is the one that is trying to frame me and cause problems? We shall all see for ourselves.”
Lu Mengxi’s face changed drastically!
