Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Jin Nian had lived for more than 20 years and had never experienced such a ridiculous thing. If there was, it would be what the man who gave the flowers said next. “Oh right, there’s one more thing that the flower giver wanted me to pa.s.s on in front of all of your friends and family. The animated film “Summer Monogatari” plagiarized the works of other authors and stole the outline ideas of other authors. The evidence is conclusive. Soon, the entire internet would know about it. Director Jiang, please wait for the lawyer’s letter to arrive. The last sentence, I wish Director Jiang a hundred years of happiness with your lover.”

The man who sent the flowers turned around and left. In just a few seconds, it caused a huge uproar at the scene. Zou Lanhua chased him into the corridor and cursed loudly, “Who the h*ll are you? Who sent you to spout nonsense! Lawyer’s letter? Just wait for me to send you a lawyer’s letter! Talking nonsense at someone else’s engagement party! Just wait to be punished by the heavens! Security! Where’s the security? We spent so much money to hold an engagement party at your hotel. Can’t you even guarantee the minimum security? Why are you still running a hotel!”

She was no longer as smug as before, but like a resentful woman who was throwing a tantrum on the street. Tan Siyun frowned and looked at her silently. The people present were all immediate family members of the two families. Everyone was whispering. Jiang Qingchi was stunned on the spot and did not respond for a long time. Jin Nian was also confused. She asked Jiang Qingchi, “Who is he? Do you know him?”

Before Jiang Qingchi could speak, Zou Lanhua returned to the private room and said, “This must be sent by Qingchi’s compet.i.tor in business to cause trouble. Don’t believe his nonsense. The entertainment industry is a big dye vat. There are all kinds of people! They are jealous of Qingchi’s results!” It was possible.

Jiang Qingchi’s uncle smiled and waved at his sister, “Alright, Sis, let’s get ready to start the banquet. Don’t let this kind of villain affect your mood. Today is a good day, so everyone should be happy.”

Jin Nian’s relative nodded, “That’s right. Don’t be angry.” With just a few words, this chapter was over. Tan Siyun’s face darkened slightly. She always had a lot of opinions about Jiang Qingchi’s family.

She did not say anything and just looked at Jin Nian. Qiao Ranran frowned and asked Jin Nian, “What is going on?” Jin Nian knew that this matter was not as simple as the Jiang family made it out to be. She was also involved in internet-related work, so she knew very well that there were no loopholes. In her industry, plagiarists were the most despised. Because the account that she had single-handedly supported had been plagiarized by an internet celebrity with more fans. In the end, when she saw that the matter had escalated, she only made a short statement on her personal account in a strange way. The gist of it was: “If borrowing creativity is considered plagiarism, then there is no such thing as an original in this world.” What was even more infuriating was that the other party’s fans even went to Jin Nian’s account to curse her, saying that she was just trying to fake it. Jin Nian was so angry that she argued with them for three days and three nights.

The domestic protection of original creators were not perfect. Not only did plagiarists earn money, but they did not have to pay any price. Even if they were found out, they would only receive a few words of criticism. Jiang Qingchi lowered his head and did not look at her. Jin Nian could not help but ask, “What did he mean by those words?”

“I don’t know either. I don’t know him at all! Who knows what nonsense he is spouting?” Jiang Qingchi suddenly flew into a rage and shouted at Jin Nian, “Even you don’t believe me?” Jiang Qingchi was usually emotionally stable and rarely lost his composure, let alone in front of so many people.

Jin Nian frowned. She felt that something was wrong. She glanced at everyone indifferently and said in a low voice, “There are too many people here. Come out with me.”

In front of everyone, the bridegroom and bride walked out of the private room together, leaving behind a group of relatives and friends who did not know the truth. It was inevitable that they would guess.

Tan Siyun called Jin Nian, but Jin Nian did not stop walking and pretended not to hear her. Zou Lanhua wanted to follow them out, but Tan Siyun stopped her, “Let them settle it themselves.”

The corridor was much quieter than the private room. The high-quality soundproof carpet absorbed most of the chaotic footsteps and her heels began to hurt again. Her strength came from nowhere. She was like an angry leopard, pulling Jiang Qingchi and barging around. When they reached a quiet corner, Jiang Qingchi could not bear it anymore and shook off Jin Nian’s hand. “What can’t we talk inside? There are so many relatives here. What’s the point of us running out?”

“Jiang Qingchi, I don’t understand why you’re angry.” Jin Nian took a deep breath. “Could it be that what that person said was true? Did you really plagiarize?”
