Chapter 688: Proven Wrong! Nainai Strikes Back! (6)
Half an hour later.
Mi Nuo hurried over in her car. She found a parking lot and had just parked her car when someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside. Mi Nuo looked up and saw Li Yufeng standing before her. “Nuonuo, what are you doing here? We’ve agreed that we would stay calm during this period of time. How could you rush over?”
Mi Nuo smiled as she replied, “She’s already said all that, how could I not come over?!”
“Nuonuo!” Li Yufeng shouted harshly. “What if this is a trap that they’ve set?! You’re plunging in headfirst without any preparation. Are you stupid?”
“Stupid? No. What kind of trap could they plant before so many reporters? Back then, the proof about the plagiarism was irrefutable. She couldn’t have made a case for herself. If I don’t appear before the reporters, this matter will pass just like that. Won’t all the hard work I’ve put in previously be for naught then?”
Li Yufeng stared at her. She didn’t know what to say.
Mi Nuo smirked. “Back then, she had dropped her own book onto the ground and I picked it up. Who can she blame? That ‘Memento’ was meant to be mine!”
“Memento” was the name of the work that she had used to enter the design competition all those years ago.
After Li Yufeng heard this, although she felt that there was no danger of anything going wrong, she felt a little guilty. She sighed deeply. “Come with me. Let this matter pass. We don’t have any reputation to maintain anyway. It’s better to avoid trouble whenever possible. We need to proceed cautiously now.”
Mi Nuo shook her hand off. “What ‘proceed cautiously’? I want everything! They’ve made me leave the Imperial Group in shame. I want everyone in the world to know that they’ve done wrong!!”
After she said this, she furrowed her brow and took a step back. “Don’t stop me. If you do, I won’t acknowledge you as my mother!”
After she said this, she turned and strode off toward the Imperial Group.
Li Yufeng watched her retreating figure as her heart pounded wildly. It took a moment for it to return to normal.
In the conference room…
Zhuang Nainai was holding her phone and looking up news about this reporters’ conference.
Weibo was live-streaming everything that was happening here. There were even videos being uploaded.
There were many comments below the Weibo message. Everyone was discussing if Mi Nuo would show up.
“Mi Nuo will definitely come, she has to! Face them off, and make sure that they won’t look down on you!”
“Why would she come? How could a poor girl like her stand a chance against the entire Imperial Group?”
“Don’t you all think that there’s something fishy about this matter? How could Mrs. Si sound so righteous about it otherwise?”
“You idiots. How can Mrs. Si sound so righteous? Because she’s got connections and is loaded!”
“I’ll just silently watch and not say anything.”
“I’ve taken off my pants. I’m waiting for the climax.”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get to the point!”
All these comments displayed differing opinions on the matter. But without any exception, all of them were awaiting Mi Nuo’s arrival.
But would she be up for a confrontation?
Zhuang Nainai thought, and her eyes narrowed.
Back then, she had brought her own design draft to the venue to enter the Starlight Design Competition. She had run over to hand in her work. But she had suddenly gotten news about her mother going missing. She had been so shocked that she had dropped the draft and ran.
Afterward, she couldn’t find the original draft no matter how she tried. She had thus drawn another drawing and submitted that instead.
But she had never realized that the circle of people in the industry was so small. She had never expected Mi Nuo to be the person who had picked up her draft all those years ago.
Perhaps this was also a form of destiny?
