Chapter 975: Justice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xi sized up Gu Yao with a serious expression. She really suspected that there was something wrong with Gu Yao’s IQ. If she had time, she would bring him for a check-up. If they could find out the problem earlier, she could treat him earlier.

The two of them played a few rounds of games before leaning against the sofa and scrolling through their phones in boredom. Gu Yao suddenly sat up and hesitated. In the end, he picked up his phone and handed it to Qiao Xi. “Take a look.”

Qiao Xi took the phone and glanced at it, instantly speechless.

[Xia Tong: Due to personal reasons, I’ve decided to quit the show ‘The Birth Of A Designer.’ I won’t partic.i.p.ate in this program anymore. If the compet.i.tion loses its fairness, it’ll be meaningless. If the program team insists on protecting a certain someone, then there’s no need for me to join it.]

As soon as this statement was posted, it instantly attracted many netizens to watch. Although Xia Tong was not an A-list celebrity, she had good resources and had been popular for a period of time. She was the most famous among the partic.i.p.ants. Why would she suddenly announce her withdrawal?

Fans left comments: [Our Tongtong has been wronged. What exactly is going on? Does anyone know?]

[This show is a fas.h.i.+on design compet.i.tion. Could it be that someone is secretly manipulating the show? I remember Chen Li saying that although Tong Tong has never systematically learned design, she’s very talented. The production team must be biased toward a certain contestant, so Tong Tong decided to withdraw.]

[Tong Tong has always had a good temper. They must have crossed the line to make her so angry! @TheBirthOfADesigner]

The fans were indignant and scolded the production team. The director’s and producers’ accounts were filled with criticisms.

Qiao Xi kept having the feeling that this matter was a little strange. Xia Tong plagiarized the design and only announced her withdrawal from the compet.i.tion after the matter blew up. Previously, the production team was biased toward Xia Tong because of the 50 million investment. Now that the investment was gone, the production team would naturally not tolerate Xia Tong or take the blame for her.

Xia Tong should know this very well. At this moment, she should hide and try her best to reduce her presence. She should be afraid of being exposed. There were so many people present who could testify. Her lie would soon be exposed. She was undoubtedly courting death by doing this.

Why did she send this message? Did someone order her to send it?

Even Gu Yao looked shocked. “Is Xia Tong crazy? She’s maligning the production team like this. Once the director posts the surveillance footage online, not only will Xia Tong’s reputation be ruined, but she might even receive a lawyer’s letter from the production team suing her for slander! Is she crazy?”

That was right. Normal people would not do such a thing. Why was she doing this?

Despite the crazy number of comments from the fans, Xia Tong did not step forward to clarify anything. The production team did not want to blow up the matter and have it affect the viewers.h.i.+p ratings of the show, but since Xia Tong wanted to ruin the production team’s reputation, they could not swallow their anger.

Xia Tong was willing to risk being sued to do this. Was there a more tempting condition for her to do this?

Qiao Xi looked at the comments and suddenly saw a familiar username. It was Xia Mengyan!

Xia Mengyan: [Justice is in the heart. You’re all my family. Why can’t you go home and talk? Why do you have to create a scene online? Moreover, this is clearly your fault. You should apologize to her and delete the message immediately.]

Xia Mengyan was a famous perfumer, but she had just returned to the country, so she naturally did not have as many fans as Xia Tong. Soon, Xia Tong’s fans found this comment. Xia Mengyan and Xia Tong both had the surname Xia. It seemed that they were relatives, but why was Xia Mengyan speaking up for another person?

Xia Tong’s fans were instantly angry. They immediately ran to Xia Mengyan’s account and questioned why she did not help her sister. Tong Tong was bullied by the production team, but her family did not help her. As Tong Tong’s family member, she scolded her instead. It was really too much.

Everyone rushed to Xia Tong’s account, and the comments section instantly exploded. Xia Mengyan’s fans were all stunned. Before they could retort, Xia Mengyan closed the comments section.

Gu Yao was burning with anger. “Xia Mengyan is too scheming. She pretended to speak up for you and was even scolded by Xia Tong’s fans. With her words, those fans will soon know that you’re the one who’s in conflict with Xia Tong!”

Qiao Xi reacted. She knew why Xia Tong had sent this message. She was instructed by Xia Mengyan. She smiled, then picked up her phone.

“What are you doing?” Gu Yao asked.

“I’m going to call Xia Tong.” Qiao Xi’s words made Gu Yao look puzzled.
